Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

Perhaps other forces have sent experts to infiltrate the Burial Immortal Continent.

If such a master were to come after me, then I would be in trouble.

However, Shi Ji is not worried about this matter. After all, Shi Ji's strength has improved a lot. If any expert wants to deal with him, he can confront him head-on.

Shiji continued on her way.

Not long after, Shiji arrived at a swampy area.

That swamp was as black as ink.

Shi Ji stopped at the edge of the swamp. He sensed an extremely sinister aura emanating from the swamp, as if it were gushing out from the deepest hell.

"Such a strange aura, no wonder it's a special area within the Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss!"

Shi Ji frowned and looked into the depths of the swamp.

A hazy shadow could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in the swamp.

"Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It is said that the Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss in the past nurtured many powerful ferocious beasts, but many terrible restrictions have been formed here. It is rumored that the Nine Fiends Yin Demon is even nurtured deep within the Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss."

Most cultivators who entered it perished at the hands of the Nine Fiends Demon, hence the Nine Fiends Demon Abyss is also known as the Land of Death; almost nothing but the Nine Fiends Demon can emerge from it!

"The Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss is teeming with Nine Fiends Yin Demons?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

The Demon Lord nodded and said, "That's right. It's said that the Nine Fiends Demon possesses extremely terrifying combat power. The White Tiger Spirit was defeated by the Nine Fiends Demon back then. This Nine Fiends Demon should still be alive!"

The Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss aroused Shi Ji's great interest, and he decided to explore its secrets.

He flew towards the Nine Fiends Yin Demon Abyss.

Suddenly, the void cracked open.

A colossal creature lunged out; it was a giant python, ten meters thick and over twenty meters long, its entire body a dark golden color, emanating a chilling aura.

"What a creepy atmosphere!"

Shi Ji's face showed a solemn expression.

The beings within the Nine Fiends Abyss are absolutely terrifying.

With a whoosh, the enormous creature instantly arrived beside Shi Ji and then lashed out at her.

Shi Ji then unleashed a powerful punch.

A loud bang rang out as the two sides collided violently.

The giant python was blasted away by Shi Ji's punch.

Its tail, however, wrapped around the waist of the rock.

A cracking sound rang out, and the skin on Shi Ji's waist cracked.

Even so, Shi Ji remained unharmed. His body was far tougher than that of ordinary cultivators. Even if the giant python's attacks were ten, a hundred, or a thousand times stronger, Shi Ji could withstand them.

The giant python roared as it tried to drag Shi Ji into the swamp and devour her.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and directly used her domineering aura to suppress the giant python. In an instant, the giant python was injured by the domineering aura and howled in pain.

Shi Ji sneered and kicked the giant python, hitting it squarely on the head.

With a tearing sound, the giant python's head exploded, splattering blood everywhere.

Then Shi Ji grabbed the giant python's head.

He pulled hard.

The giant python's head was instantly torn off by Shi Ji.

The intense pain caused the giant python to let out a shrill scream as it struggled frantically, trying to break free from Shi Ji's control.

However, it simply cannot do that.

Shi Ji stomped down, crushing the giant python's body.
Shi Ji's magical power surged into the giant python's corpse, completely destroying the python's soul.

Afterwards, Shi Ji discarded the giant python's carcass in the mountains and then left the spot.

Shi Ji continued her search for clues about the White Tiger Military Talisman in Zangxian Prefecture.

Now that the White Tiger Military Talisman has appeared, it will surely attract many experts.

But Shi Ji believed that he himself would ultimately be the one to obtain the White Tiger Military Seal.

On this day, Shi Ji met a woman in a canyon.

The woman was wearing a long white dress and had a graceful figure.

The graceful curves outline a perfect arc.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with an exceptionally alluring figure, like the most beautiful fairy in the world.

Shi Ji's eyes widened.

This woman was even more beautiful than the deities depicted in the paintings.

When the woman saw Shi Ji, a look of surprise appeared on her face; she clearly hadn't expected to meet Shi Ji here.

Shi Ji grinned and clasped her hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, young lady! We meet again!"

This woman was none other than Lu Yaoqin, whom Shi Ji had saved in the South China Sea World years ago.

Back then, Lu Yaoqin's father, Lu Yunhe, made a soul contract with Shi Ji.

Shi Ji helped Lu Yaoqin cure the poison in her soul, and the two later became acquainted.

Shi Ji helped Lu Yaoqin remove the flame curse from her body.

Lu Yaoqin helped Shi Ji forge the powerful magic weapon, the Five Dragon Wheel.

Although Lu Yaoqin was only at the Great Emperor level, she was able to achieve great success thanks to the Five Dragon Wheels that Shi Ji had helped her refine.

She is even capable of killing quasi-immortals.

Such methods are truly appalling.

Of course, this is mainly thanks to the Five Dragon Wheels that Shi Ji helped create. Without the Five Dragon Wheels, she would not have such heaven-defying combat power.

Therefore, Shi Ji and Lu Yaoqin can be considered friends, but over the years they have only kept in touch occasionally.

"Why would Yun Heng come to such a treacherous place as Burial Immortal Prefecture? Could it be that Yun Heng also wants to compete for the White Tiger Military Seal?" Lu Yaoqin asked with a light smile.

"I have no interest in such things; I'm just passing through!" Shi Ji shook her head.

"I see. Well then, Yunheng will take his leave!" Lu Yaoqin said, and then prepared to depart.

"Is there anything else, Yunheng?" Lu Yaoqin asked, puzzled.

"Miss, if I may be so bold as to ask, may I ask where you come from?" Shi Ji asked.

Lu Yaoqin smiled and said, "Well, there's no need for Yunheng to worry about that. We've only just met, so farewell!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yaoqin turned to leave.

next moment.

Lu Yaoqin's expression changed drastically.

Suddenly, Shi Ji swiftly rushed over and reached out her right hand to slap her.

"Shiji, how dare you!"

Lu Yaoqin roared and slammed her palm at Shi Ji.

Her palm surged with a world-destroying aura; the power contained in that palm strike was truly terrifying. Lu Yaoqin seemed to be a top-tier expert, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to unleash such a frightening aura.

Shi Ji and Lu Yaoqin's attacks collided instantly, and both of them took three steps back at the same time.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating me?" Shi Ji looked at Lu Yaoqin in surprise. During their fight, Shi Ji clearly recognized that the person in front of her was not her true self.

This person's disguise skills are truly terrifying; he almost fooled even himself.

Lu Yaoqin smiled charmingly.

"I don't care who you are, I will not spare your life today!"

Shi Ji's gaze was icy.

This woman is impersonating someone else; she definitely has ulterior motives.

This woman is trying to get back at me.

Shi Ji has an extremely strong sense of danger.

This woman was hostile towards Shi Ji and had concealed her true identity; she was a dangerous woman.

Naturally, he couldn't let her continue living, because he didn't know what kind of vicious scheme this woman would use to deal with him next.

"You're not worthy to kill me. If you want to fight me to the death, let's see who comes out on top!"

"You are only at the seventh or eighth level of the Emperor Realm, while I have already entered the sixth or seventh level of the Saint King Realm. Even if I only show my cultivation at around the first level of the Emperor King Realm, it will still be more than enough to deal with you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoqin gritted her teeth.

She knew that Shi Ji had not lied to her.

But on her.

There are indeed many methods.

“Didn’t you want the White Tiger Military Token? Let’s make a deal!” Lu Yaoqin suddenly said.

"Oh? What kind of deal?" Shi Ji asked. Lu Yaoqin smiled and said, "I know where the White Tiger Military Talisman is!"

Upon hearing Lu Yaoqin's words, Shi Ji's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "Where?"

“I’ll take you there!” Lu Yaoqin said.

“Okay!” Shi Ji agreed.

The two flew swiftly, and before long, Shi Ji and Lu Yaoqin stopped. He looked down.

Deep in the mountains and forests, a towering ancient tree stands tall.

A jade talisman was wrapped around the branches of an ancient tree, emitting a faint light, and it seemed to contain some kind of secret.

That jade talisman should be the White Tiger Soldier Talisman.

"How did you know the location of the White Tiger Military Seal?"

Lu Yaoqin replied, "The White Tiger Military Talisman has its own unique aura, and I can sense that aura."

Shi Ji said, "In that case, let's proceed according to the original plan."

Lu Yaoqin nodded and followed Shi Ji to the ancient tree.

The two searched carefully for a while, but found nothing.

"Could it have disappeared?" Shi Ji frowned.

“I believe the White Tiger Military Talisman has not disappeared,” Lu Yaoqin said.

"You mean we need to wait a while longer?" Shi Ji asked.

“Exactly.” Lu Yaoqin nodded.

Shi Ji took a deep breath and then said, "I will first seal off the surrounding area to prevent others from getting there first."

He summoned the stone sword, and with a wave of his hand, countless array patterns emerged, instantly enveloping the area.

Shi Ji then took out the Black Dragon Sword and unleashed its forbidden killing move, "Nine Nether Rivers."

Suddenly, a vast black mist swept out from the River Styx, enveloping Shi Ji and Lu Yaoqin.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in the midst of the void's turbulent currents.

A flash of cold light suddenly swept across, slashing towards the rocky shore.

That cold light turned out to be a powerful treasure.

Shi Ji raised her hand to meet the attack, and with a loud bang, she grabbed the treasure.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an iron rod.

He gripped the iron rod tightly and examined it carefully.

This staff exudes a terrifying aura and possesses astonishing power.

"Huh, what kind of iron rod is this?" Shi Ji raised an eyebrow slightly.

“This was forged from Chaos Black Iron,” Lu Yaoqin said.

"Chaotic Profound Iron? Isn't this divine iron only found in the primordial world? How could it appear here?"

Shi Ji couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Chaos Iron is said to have been born from chaos.

These materials are extremely rare and incredibly hard, making them ideal for crafting magical artifacts.

Even in the vast universe of the primordial world, it is difficult to find any trace of Chaos Black Iron.

"This is a celestial artifact, quite powerful. But this person actually used such a low-level celestial artifact to ambush you, clearly harboring great malice towards you."

"Hmph! If it were anyone else, they might have actually fallen for it. Unfortunately for him, he ran into me!"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Shi Ji's mouth.

He swung the iron rod forged from chaotic black iron and smashed it towards Lu Yaoqin.

With a loud clang, both sides were forced back.

Although the Chaos Black Iron Cudgel was sharp, it could not harm Shi Ji's powerful body.

Shi Ji stepped forward and continued her attack on Lu Yaoqin.

Its offensive was extremely fierce.

With a tearing sound, blood sprayed out.

Shi Ji pierced Lu Yaoqin's chest with a single blow.

Lu Yaoqin looked down at the wound on her chest and roared angrily.

She hated Shiji intensely.

If Shi Ji hadn't launched a sneak attack, I wouldn't have suffered such a severe injury.
"Despicable? You call me despicable? It's just that you're too stupid! You should have followed along when someone told you to, but you chose to launch a sneak attack! That's called being a wise man when you know when to yield!"

Lu Yaoqin rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay any attention to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed as she sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching.

Those auras must belong to the experts guarding the White Tiger Military Talisman.

He had once entered White Tiger City and seen those who guarded the military tokens, so he immediately recognized the identity of the person who came out.

Without hesitation, he activated the stone sword.

He poured all his magical power into the sword, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from the stone sword, slashing fiercely at the charging cultivators.

Several people were thrown backward by the shock, and cracks appeared on their bodies.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Ji snatched the iron rod and threw it to Lu Yaoqin.

"Come on!"

He gave a deep shout, grabbed Lu Yaoqin, and dashed away into the distance.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy! Stay here!"

A loud laugh came from afar, and a group of experts rushed over, the leader of whom was the same cultivator who had just been holding the knife.

"It's like a persistent ghost!"

Shi Ji cursed and immediately unleashed the ultimate technique of the fusion of the three thousand great paths—the Gate of Reincarnation.

The Gate of Reincarnation materialized, radiating terrifying energy, and pressed down upon the opponent.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?" the sword-wielding cultivator exclaimed in astonishment.

He brandished his greatsword and slashed at the Gate of Reincarnation.

With a loud crash, the Gate of Reincarnation actually blocked the greatsword's slash.

"What terrifying supernatural power!"

The sword-wielding cultivator found it hard to believe; this was truly unbelievable.

Shi Ji's supernatural power is too heaven-defying; it can actually withstand the immortal artifact activated by a celestial-level expert.

Shi Ji pulled Lu Yaoqin and fled into the distance.

"Stop him!"

The sword-wielding cultivator roared, and a group of powerful figures rushed towards Shi Ji, determined to kill him and seize his treasure.

Shi Ji unleashed five great demons, whose combined power was overwhelming, and they successively killed several enemies.

The remaining cultivators were so frightened that they fled for their lives.

"Kid! We'll meet again sometime!"

The sword-wielding cultivator glared venomously at Shi Ji before quickly leading his men away.

"You escaped quickly; I hope you live to see us again."

Shi Ji said indifferently.

He then quickly left with Lu Yaoqin.

Lu Yaoqin looked worried; she felt she was nearing the end of her life.

If the wounds are not treated soon, I fear I will die here.

Shi Ji noticed her condition and took out a bottle of pills, handing it to her: "This is a healing elixir. After taking it, your injuries should recover by more than half."

After thanking her, Lu Yaoqin swallowed the pill and sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing.

Shi Ji stood guard to the side, keeping watch over the surroundings.

Suddenly, the jade pendant on Lu Yaoqin's chest began to tremble.

She reached out to take it, but was too weak to grasp it.

The jade tablet transformed into a streak of light and flew into the depths of the mountains.

"This is bad! The jade pendant may have been taken. We must retrieve it as soon as possible!"

Lu Yaoqin gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up, then flew deeper into the distance with Shi Ji.

Shi Ji asked, "Do you know where you are now?"

Lu Yaoqin pointed to a mountain peak: "Search deep within that mountain! I remember there grows a purple-gold flower there; if I can pick this flower, it will heal my injuries." (End of Chapter)
