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

"My children, it's all my fault for dragging you both down!"

Su Yuelin's mother said bitterly.

Shi Ji said, "Auntie, don't be too sad! We are still young, and we have a long road ahead of us!"

Su Yuelin nodded.

She looked at Shi Ji and said, "My name is Su Yuelin, and this is my younger sister, Su Yuehan. Thank you so much for saving my life! If it weren't for your help, Yuelin would probably be in grave danger!"

Shi Ji waved her hand and said, "It was nothing! No need to be so polite."

Su Yuelin said, "My benefactor, please come with us! I will take you to see my mother!"

Then Su Yuelin led Shiji to the cave where her mother was in seclusion.

The cave is deep and secluded, requiring a journey of several kilometers to reach.

Upon entering the cave, one is greeted by a rich floral fragrance.

Su Yuelin said, "My mother is currently in seclusion for cultivation! Please wait a moment, benefactor, and I will wake her up immediately!"

Shi Ji nodded, and Su Yuelin hurriedly went to wake her mother.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Yuelin's mother opened her eyes and saw her daughter return.

She asked excitedly, "Yue'er, where's Yuehan? Is she alright?"

With tears in her eyes, Su Yuelin said, "Sister Yuehan has been kidnapped by the Evil Spirit Clan!"

Upon hearing this news, Su Yuelin's mother was struck dumb.

She nearly collapsed to the ground.

She originally wanted to tell her daughter some good news, so she didn't hide her emotions.

This incident had a huge impact on her.

At that moment, she even doubted whether she had heard correctly.

"Yue'er, don't lie to your mother, you're lying to your mother, aren't you?" Su Yuelin's mother asked excitedly.

Su Yuelin said, "What I said is true. Yuehan was indeed captured by the Evil Spirit Clan. Those Evil Spirit Clan cultivators want to strip Yuehan of her bloodline. I beg my benefactor to save her!"

Su Yuelin's mother looked at Shiji with anticipation.

Shi Ji said, "Since Miss Yuehan has been kidnapped by the evil spirits, it is my duty to help!"

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

Su Yuelin's mother quickly said.

She then took out a storage ring and handed it to Shi Ji.

"What is this?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

"These are treasures accumulated by my family over generations. They are not worth much, but they are a token of our appreciation. Please keep them as a memento, my benefactor!"

Shi Ji took the storage ring and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely find Miss Yuehan safely!"

"With your kind words, I am relieved!" said Su Yuelin's mother.

"I'll go make some preparations first, and then I'll go find Miss Yuehan later!"

Shi Ji clasped her hands in a fist salute and then left.

After Shi Ji left, Su Yuelin's mother looked worried, fearing that Shi Ji's trip was likely to end badly.

I hope he is safe and sound.

Su Yuelin's mother prayed silently.

And this moment.

Shi Ji was sitting cross-legged in the room when he opened his storage ring.

In an instant, a dazzling light surged from the storage ring, illuminating the entire mountain peak and even turning the trees outside the cave into a verdant green.

Shi Ji looked at the treasures in her storage ring, which were piled up in one place.

It forms a small treasure trove.

"There are so many treasures."

Seeing so many magical treasures piled up, Shi Ji's lips twitched slightly. Were these guys looting? They actually stole so much stuff. Shi Ji felt it was necessary to teach these bastards a lesson.

He took out some of the magical artifacts and put away the rest, intending to study them in detail when he got back.

Then Shi Ji took out three Golden Immortal-level Immortal Fruits.

Each immortal fruit contains immense immortal energy.

If one swallows these three immortal fruits, one's cultivation level will surely increase dramatically.

Shi Ji knew that if she directly consumed these three immortal fruits, her cultivation would improve very slowly.

The energy contained in the three immortal fruits was far too great.

If ingested rashly, it may have the opposite effect, or even cause the body to explode and die.

"These things are enough to increase my magical power by about 20%. If I refine these three immortal fruits, they should help me break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm!"

A glint of light flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

He decided to use these three immortal fruits to try to break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm, since his own accumulation was already quite substantial.

Over the years, he has gained many opportunities, and his combat power has become increasingly terrifying.

To break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm.

It's not hopeless.

"First, consume the immortal fruit, then continue your attempt to break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm, striving to advance to the Heavenly Emperor realm in the short term!"

After pondering for a moment, Shi Ji made a decision.

He then swallowed the three immortal fruits.

The moment the celestial fruit entered the stomach, an astonishing energy surge erupted.

Three distinct energies rapidly spread throughout the body.

That surging, vast power continuously transformed the flesh and blood of the stone reef.

Shi Ji activated the Sovereign Armor Technique and began absorbing that energy.

The Armor of Domination exudes a powerful aura.

After absorbing immense energy, the Dominator's Armor condensed into dense runes.

The runes merged into Shi Ji's body, making his physical body even stronger.

The energy from the three immortal fruits lasted for a full three hours.

After her energy was completely depleted, Shi Ji finally broke through to the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.

He then refined some supernatural manuals and gradually mastered the supernatural powers within them.

He then stopped cultivating and flew towards the ancient ruins where the evil spirits were located.

The ruins of the evil spirits are located near the Yin-Yang Lake. When Shi Ji arrived, she felt a chilling killing intent permeating the place.

The dark and malevolent creatures in Yin-Yang Lake are absolutely terrifying.

Shi Ji's target was naturally not those dark and evil creatures.

Rather, it is a master of the evil spirit race, or a treasure of the evil spirit race.

This clan is said to have an extremely long history.

I wonder what kind of wealth they possess?

"Halt! Whoever you are, kneel down immediately and hand over your magical treasure! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Just then, a cultivator from the evil spirit race walked over and coldly shouted.

This evil spirit cultivator is approximately at the Emperor level.

He was thin and pale as paper, clearly nearing the end of his life.

Shi Ji's face suddenly darkened; this person's attitude was far too arrogant.

And they even dared to speak rudely to him; they deserve to die.

But Shi Ji also understood that every cultivator of the evil spirit race was ruthless.

They love to bully the weak.

The evil spirits are also extremely lustful, and often abduct human women to serve as their bedchamber maids.

This matter is common knowledge.

The evil spirit race holds male cultivators in contempt far more than they hold female cultivators.

Chapter 1481 A Flick of the Finger

That is why such forces are naturally unpopular.

Moreover, the Evil Spirit Clan has a deep-seated grudge against the cultivators of the Nine Provinces Great World.

Therefore, Shi Ji didn't bother with this evil spirit cultivator.

He planned to take a detour.

But this evil spirit cultivator blocked Shi Ji's path.

"What? Can't you understand human language?" the evil spirit cultivator said in a sinister tone.

Shi Ji glanced at the other person indifferently.

He then flicked his finger.

With a muffled thud, followed by a tearing sound, the head of the evil spirit cultivator was instantly severed by Shi Ji.

This evil spirit cultivator had never expected Shi Ji to be so powerful.

Before he could even react, his head had already rolled to the ground.

Its body remained in the original posture.

"You dare to kill a member of my Evil Spirit Clan? You're courting death! All Evil Spirit Clan cultivators, listen to my command! Surround and kill this man, annihilate this brat!"

The surrounding evil spirit cultivators roared angrily and unleashed all kinds of weapons to attack Shi Ji.

Shi Ji then unleashed her domineering aura, which enveloped the entire arena.

When Shi Ji unleashed her domineering aura.

The surrounding evil spirit cultivators were all stunned.

Shi Ji leaped into the air and charged into the group of evil spirit cultivators, then swept her sword horizontally.

A series of resounding clangs erupted.

The sounds of popping and crackling filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, the bodies of thousands of evil spirit cultivators, including their leader, exploded.

Dead beyond dead.

Shi Ji did not search for the corpses of the evil spirit cultivators.

These guys' storage rings were already damaged.

Their bodies are of little value left here.

Shi Ji ventured deep into the ancestral land of the evil spirits, where he vaguely spotted a stone staircase.

Along those stone steps.

After walking about several tens of meters, a towering cloud of demonic mist suddenly surged out in front of them.

A deep roar echoed through the sky, shaking the void.

Countless evil creatures burst forth from the demonic mist.

Shi Ji was astonished. How could there be so many evil creatures here? Could they all have been summoned by the evil spirit race?

"Huh, it's a corpse!"

Shi Ji was surprised to see a huge corpse lying on the ground deep in the ancestral land of the evil spirits.

The corpse was that of a humanoid being.

This person has the head of an ox and the body of a human.

His body was surrounded by eerie demonic energy.

Shi Ji wondered to herself, could this humanoid creature be a dragon-elephant?
Where did this corpse come from?

Shi Ji asked in confusion.

"Hehe, my evil spirit race once produced an invincible being named Hades!"

The evil spirit cultivator grinned and said, "After the King of the Underworld fell, his remains were buried here!"

"The King of the Underworld?" Shi Ji frowned slightly, unfamiliar with the title, as if she had never heard of this person before.

"Indeed, it is Hades! It is said that he was a top powerhouse in the era of emperors, who roamed the world and rarely met his match. It is a pity that Hades was too arrogant and provoked an existence he should not have provoked, which led to his calamity."

"That incident caused great chaos, and even the emperors joined forces to suppress the King of the Underworld. Although the King of the Underworld was killed, his remains ended up here and were discovered by my evil spirit clan."

Our clan expended tremendous effort to open the coffin of Hades, retrieve the incomplete essence of Hades from it, and the remnant soul of Hades escaped.

Hades' essence has been sealed; our mission is to guard his tomb.

"That's what the evil spirit cultivator said."

"The origin of Hades? Could it be that fist-sized piece of origin from just now?" Shi Ji couldn't help but ask.

“That’s right! It is,” the evil spirit cultivator nodded.

"Take me to retrieve the essence of Hades!"

The evil spirit cultivator sneered, "Why should I take your orders?"

“If you refuse to lead the way, you will surely die.” Shi Ji responded coldly.

"This is utterly ridiculous! You really think you're something special? Our clan leader is a half-step immortal realm expert. With so many of us, why would we be afraid of you?"

The evil spirit cultivator sneered.

Shi Ji strode towards the evil spirit cultivators, and with a wave of their hand, countless evil spirit cultivators pounced on her.

"Unbelievable!"

Shi Ji sneered, immediately summoned the Dominator's Armor, and after donning it, she took up a stone dagger and charged towards the evil spirit cultivators from all directions.

The two sides clashed fiercely. Although the number of evil spirit cultivators was large, they were no match for Shi Ji.

After a brief exchange, they were all slaughtered by Shi Ji.

"Spare me, young master, spare me! I am willing to follow you, young master. I will do whatever you ask. Please spare my worthless life!"

He witnessed many of his clansmen die one after another.

The remaining evil spirit cultivators turned deathly pale.

The man knelt down and begged Shi Ji for mercy.

"Get lost!" Shi Ji waved for the evil spirit cultivator to leave. The man fled gratefully. Shi Ji then collected all the remaining evil spirit corpses, which contained a lot of blood and flesh essence, which was beneficial to cultivation.

Shi Ji then continued her search of the ancestral home of the evil spirits.

Soon, two or three more corpses were found.

Shi Ji did not examine the storage rings on the corpses in detail.

Shi Ji believes that the items in the storage ring or storage bag are all treasures of the evil spirit race.

He disdained to look through those things.

Shi Ji continued her search of the entire ancestral land of the evil spirits.

A huge cave appeared in front of the rocky cliff.

There are protective barriers around the cave.

The sound of violent shaking continued to be heard.

Clearly, there are terrifying creatures inside attacking the external barriers.

"Is a powerful demonic beast attacking the external barriers?"

Shi Ji muttered to himself as he quickly flew to the cave entrance and peered into the cave with his X-ray vision.

In an instant.

Shi Ji then spotted a powerful and ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast resembled a giant ape.

But he was wearing black and gold armor.

The oppressive aura emanating from this ferocious beast was so powerful that it was suffocating.

It stands upright, hundreds of feet tall, like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

That ferocious beast was so powerful that even through layers of restrictions, it still made Shi Ji feel a sense of dread.

Just then, a series of roars suddenly came from inside the cave, followed by...

A ball of light formed from condensed flames flew out of the cave.

That fireball contained destructive power.

The fireball slammed into the rocky outcrop outside the cave.

"What a powerful monster! It must be some kind of ancient, primordial being. This beast is quite special; it possesses a powerful fire elemental source within its body, and it is this source that makes it so formidable!"

Shi Ji pondered with a gloomy expression.

Facing a fireball attack.

Shi Ji quickly activated her magic, and nine runes appeared on her body.

The nine runes merged into one, forming a defensive shield that enveloped Shi Ji's body.

The rune collided with the fireball, shattering it instantly, and a look of horror appeared in the beast's eyes.

The ferocious beast tried to retreat from the cave, but the rocky cliffs were already close by.

The stone dagger slashed at the ferocious beast.

A loud crash followed.

The ferocious beast was cleaved away by Shi Ji.

The ferocious beast roared angrily and pounced on Shiji again, but Shiji was faster and slashed at the beast with her stone dagger.

With a soft thud, the stone dagger pierced the beast's head.

The ferocious beast let out a miserable howl, fell to the ground, and died instantly.

"Collect the essence of this beast!"

Shi Ji said, grabbing the ferocious beast by the neck and throwing it into the devouring black hole.

Shi Ji continued his search for the evil spirit cultivators, hoping to obtain clues about the tomb of the evil spirit clan's progenitor from them.

Eventually, Shi Ji found the burial place of the ancestor of the evil spirits in another area.

The cave was extremely large.

Deep inside the cave is a stone platform, surrounded by several stone tablets.

Each stone tablet was covered with densely packed symbols, and upon seeing those symbols, Shi Ji immediately showed a shocked expression.

"These are ancient characters, inscribed on a stone tablet. It seems this cave holds a great secret!"

Shi Ji took a deep breath. She was quite surprised that such cultivators as the Evil Spirit Clan had recorded the burial location of their ancestors on a stone tablet.

How did the ancestors of the evil spirits perish, and why were they buried here?

Could he have been killed by an enemy?

This is too bizarre.

"Huh, these stone tablets have seals on them. This place has been sealed. The material of these stone tablets is an extremely precious stone! This kind of stone can only be found in the ancestral land of the evil spirit race!"

At this moment, Shi Ji was surprised to discover some clues: the stone tablets were actually engraved with dense seals.

These stone tablets appear to have been sealed by a powerful curse.

Shi Ji dared not rashly open the seal, lest it trigger a backlash from the curse, leaving her with no chance of escape. (End of Chapter)
