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

If such a treasure truly exists, its value must be immeasurable.

Immortals? Those are legendary beings.

How precious are the immortal corpses or bones they left behind?
Therefore, no matter what, one must try to enter the Immortal's Tomb. Even if no remains or immortal bones are found, a large number of immortal stones must be obtained.

Shi Ji took out all the immortal stones she had seized from the five great golden ape clan experts, divided them into ten portions, and gave each person three portions.

He then placed all the immortal stones into the space-time continuum and entered a state of seclusion.

Shi Ji planned to go into seclusion for several months, and once her cultivation reached its peak, she would begin her attempt to break through to the Quasi-Immortal realm.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The stone pools are accumulating more and more, and it is getting closer and closer to the quasi-immortal realm.

He opened his eyes, a chilling light flashing within them.

A group of masked men dressed in black had gathered in the outer area of ​​the mountain range, and they were all quite powerful, numbering more than ninety experts.

These masked men surrounded the area, their eyes fixed on Shiji.

"Kid, just accept your death!"

The group of masked men sneered.

"They were assassins sent by the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils. It seems the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils truly has no sense of mortality."

Shi Ji stood up, her cold gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Upon hearing the words "Valley of Ten Thousand Evils," the masked men's faces immediately turned ugly.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Evils is one of the top five assassin organizations in the Tianhe Empire. They are known for their ruthlessness and vindictiveness, and they are well aware of this.

But as assassins, they understand that no matter what happens, they should face death without fear, rather than desert their posts—because they know that retreating will only bring shame to their employers.

The masked leader shouted and led his men to rush towards the rocky shore.

Although the team was not large, each masked man was a strong fighter. When they attacked together, they coordinated perfectly and launched a fierce offensive.

Faced with the combined attack of the group, Shi Ji felt immense pressure, but showed no fear.

"Divine and demonic aura!"

Shi Ji displayed a series of powerful and ingenious abilities.

The supernatural power instantly collided with the masked people.

With a loud bang, the masked men were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.

One move! Just one move!
Shi Ji then destroyed the physical bodies of all the masked men!
Their souls fled rapidly.

How could Shiji allow him to escape?
He stretched out his hand and reached into the void, a suction force surging forth and enveloping the surroundings.

Those souls were all pulled out and imprisoned, unable to break free.

"Spare us! Young master, spare us! We are willing to submit, please let us leave!"

The masked men begged for mercy in mournful cries.

Shi Ji sneered, "If I let you go, would you be satisfied? After you escape, you will surely summon more powerful people to kill me. Therefore, today, you are doomed to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he dispersed the souls of all the gods, then collected the twelve immortal stones and placed them into the space-time dimension to nurture them.

Shi Ji continued her cultivation.

There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests.

Who would help someone for no reason?

Shi Ji did not believe that the people of Wan E Gu would associate with him.

These people came for the immortal stones.

If the conditions of the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils are not met, they might resort to violence.

Shi Ji's strength is still weak. Even with a fortune of tens of thousands of immortal stones, she still needs to improve her cultivation as soon as possible.

In this world, might makes right.

In addition, there is another crucial point: if Shi Ji's realm advances to the Quasi-Immortal level, her combat power will also increase accordingly.

He firmly believed that once he broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Realm, his combat power would be absolutely heaven-defying.

Time flies by.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Ji finally broke through and entered the quasi-immortal realm.

Its momentum is far stronger than before, and it even gives off a sense of overwhelming power that could shatter stars and destroy the universe with a mere gesture.

Their combat power has increased by more than dozens of times.

There are many powerful figures in this world, but among those of the same level, Shi Ji has yet to meet a worthy opponent.

"Valley of Evil! We'll settle this score slowly, but right now you'll know the consequences of offending me, Shiji!"

Shi Ji spoke coldly, then quickly left the forest.

"Young master, please wait! What you just said is utter nonsense! We are assassins from the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils, how could we do such a thing?"

Seeing that Shi Ji was about to leave, the group of masked men shouted urgently.

They were terrified, fearing that Shi Ji might misunderstand, so they tried to explain.

Shi Ji said calmly, "Do I look like a fool to you?"

"We have not harmed you in the slightest, young master. We beg you to forgive us!" said the masked leader.

"Hmph! You wicked valley! I'll remember this, and settle the score with you later!"

Shi Ji snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He is not a reckless person.

Although he had already advanced to the Quasi-Immortal Realm, he still did not underestimate the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Evils is deeply powerful, and it is rumored that its allies even include beings at the Immortal Lord level.

To provoke such a top-tier power is tantamount to courting death.

Even though the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils assassins are arrogant and domineering, they are by no means mindless.

Their audacity in pursuing and killing so recklessly clearly indicates they have something to rely on.

Shi Ji speculated that perhaps behind these assassins, there was a powerful entity pulling the strings behind the scenes.

In this world, there are always powerful figures secretly plotting and scheming; such people are far too dangerous.

Shi Ji planned to leave the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Poisons to avoid the brunt of the attack before seeking revenge.

Just then, he sensed two auras flying towards him, seemingly released by the assassins from before.

"These two lackeys have actually been following me! It seems they're determined to take my life!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly, her expression growing colder.

In the blink of an eye, two figures rushed into the jungle.

"Boy, you think we can't do anything to you just because you're hiding here? What wishful thinking! I've long heard that you possess the Three Thousand Great Daos. If I kill you, I'll surely obtain those Great Daos!"

A chilling gaze fixed on Shi Ji.

"Heh heh, this kid's got some nerve, daring to provoke the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils! He'll be killed today!"

Another voice came, and then two mysterious cultivators descended and stood around the rock.

"People of the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils, I have never liked to provoke trouble. But if you provoke me, I will eliminate you completely. Today, I will test my sword against you!"

Shi Ji's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

"You mere Quasi-Immortal, how dare you threaten us? Let me tell you, Quasi-Immortals are less than ants in our eyes; we could crush you with a single finger!"

A ruthless assassin from the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils grinned maliciously.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try and see who comes out on top."

Shi Ji's lips curled into a contemptuous smile, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

He stomped his right foot and lunged to the left, attacking the assassin on his left.

Shi Ji used the Heaven-Mending Technique; this unparalleled ancient scripture was indeed domineering.

He transformed into countless phantoms, instantly appearing before the assassin and delivering a punch to his chest.

A tearing sound rang out, and the assassin's chest was pierced through.

With a groan, the assassin spat out blood and stared at Shi Ji in disbelief.

Shi Ji's cultivation level was clearly lower than his, so why was her combat power so formidable? Could it be because of those pills?

That jade bead must have been a treasure left by that man to Shiji, right?
Those who obtain this pearl are all powerful figures in their respective regions.

The man who chose Shiji as his successor may have already passed away.

Shi Ji unleashed five or six more punches, causing the assassin's chest to cave in, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

Shi Ji quickly caught up and grabbed his neck.

The assassin's face was as white as paper, and he kicked his legs wildly, trying to break free of his restraints, but to no avail.

He was too close to Shiji.

Moreover, Shi Ji herself possesses an extremely powerful physique.

His strength reached an unbelievable level. Under such circumstances, the assassin from the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils was naturally powerless to resist.

Seeing the situation, the others rushed towards the location.

suddenly.

The void trembled, and a slender figure emerged. It was a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties.

She was extremely beautiful, with fair skin like jade, delicate features, a graceful figure, and smooth, delicate skin, as if carved from fine jade.

The aura emanating from her sent a chill down Shi Ji's spine.

This woman possesses extremely terrifying strength.

"Who are you? Why are you interfering?" a cultivator from the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils demanded.

The woman's cold rebuke startled the assassin from Wan'e Valley, who turned pale and hastily fled with his companion.

"I will certainly repay your kindness in the future!"

Shi Ji clasped her hands in a salute, then quickly fled into the distance.

After Shi Ji left, the woman looked in the direction where Shi Ji had disappeared.

She murmured to herself, "What a strange feeling. Why does this little guy exude a familiar aura?"

The woman murmured to herself, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, a strange light flashed in her eyes. "Could he be Senior Sister's son?"

A look of surprise and astonishment appeared on her pretty face. Not long before, she had received a message from her master.

Her master ordered her to find the whereabouts of Shiji.

She initially thought her master was joking with her.

Unexpectedly, this was true.

That little guy Shiji really dared to venture into the Death Swamp.

She had been searching for Shi Ji's whereabouts for some time, and unexpectedly encountered her by chance.

The woman murmured, "I just hope the child is safe and sound..."

This woman is Zhao Ling'er, the daughter of the city lord of Wanxiang City. She and Shi Ji are old acquaintances.

We had met several times in the past in the Myriad Star River Region.

Moreover, Zhao Ling'er once helped Shi Ji overcome her tribulation.

Shi Ji will always remember this kindness.

Shi Ji quickly darted towards the outer edge of the Death Swamp.

He sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching the area. Fearing being surrounded by those powerful figures, Shi Ji quickened her pace and soon escaped into the depths of the mountains and forests.

Shi Ji then stopped and waited for the other party to arrive.

Half an hour later, four powerful figures flew in from afar, all of them at the Emperor Realm level, with the leader being a middle-aged man.

"Young Master Lin, we meet again! I never expected to run into you here!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Shi Ji asked in surprise, "Does this fellow Daoist recognize me?"

"My surname is Qin, my given name is Hai, and I am a rogue cultivator!"

"I have seen the portrait of Young Master Lin before. Back then, Young Master Lin was truly a man of unparalleled elegance and extraordinary handsomeness. Now, seeing Young Master Lin again, he is still as radiant as ever!"

Shi Ji nodded and said, "So it's Brother Qin. I remember that Brother Qin's cultivation is quite impressive. Now that you have broken through to the Emperor Lord realm, you must have reached the peak of the Emperor Lord level, right?"

Qin Hai smiled slightly and said, "My luck was alright; I managed to advance to the peak of the Emperor Lord realm by sheer chance!"

Although Shi Ji did not deliberately explore Qin Hai's territory.

However, he speculated that Qin Hai's combat strength must be extremely extraordinary, otherwise he would not be called a "top expert in the Emperor Realm".

"Does Young Master Lin intend to venture into the Swamp of Death?" Qin Hai asked.

“Indeed, I do wish to enter the Death Swamp for training. I have heard that the Death Swamp is fraught with danger, but also full of opportunities. I am quite interested in the Death Swamp, and perhaps I can take this opportunity to improve my cultivation!”

Shi Ji said calmly.

Qin Hai said, "Young Master Lin's goal is similar to mine. Would Young Master Lin be willing to form an alliance? If Young Master Lin is willing to form an alliance, then we can join forces and even if we encounter powerful monsters."

We can hold them off for a while, but if we act alone, even if we join forces, I'm afraid we'll struggle against such a powerful monster.

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

He didn't know Qin Hai's specific intentions, so he didn't plan to accept Qin Hai's invitation rashly for the time being.

After all, Qin Hai's cultivation is more profound. If something unexpected happens after the alliance is formed, I may not be his match. Wouldn't I be at his mercy then?

Shi Ji then said, "I'm sorry, but I haven't considered forming an alliance yet!"

Qin Hai said indifferently, "Shi Ji! I know you have concerns, but don't forget who I am! If you agree to form an alliance with me now..."

You'll get to enjoy free labor, but if you refuse, well, I wouldn't mind sending you on your way!

As soon as he finished speaking, the three old men behind Qin Hai released a chilling killing intent that enveloped Shi Ji.

Sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from the three old men, Shi Ji's expression darkened slightly.

He sensed a strong aura of bloodshed emanating from these people.

That bloody smell.

It was clearly formed by the accumulation of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and said, "Threatening me? Do you think I'm afraid of you? If you want to kill me, then come at me. I, Shi Ji, am not someone to be trifled with. I advise you to retreat, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You stubborn fool, then I'll show you my skills! Take this: Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

Qin Hai shouted coldly.

He then summoned a giant metal sword and poured his magic power into it.

The resounding sound echoed through the sky.

The giant metal sword trembled violently.

Then, the giant metal sword instantly transformed into a dense array of sword energy.

Each sword strike contains devastating attack power.

A deluge of sword energy slashed towards Shi Ji.

"Nine Demons Devouring Immortal Formation!"

Shi Ji remained indifferent, and with a wave of her right hand, boundless demonic energy condensed into a nine-story demonic tower to suppress heaven and earth.

The nine-story demonic tower instantly transformed into a giant tower nine thousand meters tall, crashing fiercely into the dense sword light.

A series of clanging sounds suddenly rang out.

The nine-story demon tower collapsed with a deafening roar.

The dense array of sword beams continued to bombard us with overwhelming force.

Shi Ji roared and raised her arms, thrusting them forcefully into the void.

Immediately, a vast and powerful magical force surged from Shi Ji's arms.

That surging magical power seemed capable of destroying everything in the world.

Those sword lights exploded directly, unable to harm Shi Ji in the slightest.

"Such strong defense! As expected of the Nine Demons Devouring Immortals Formation, it is truly extraordinary!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but admire him, and then said, "Since you want to team up with me, then let's form an alliance!"

"That should have been done long ago! Let's go!"

Qin Hai burst into laughter and took the lead in rushing forward.

Shiji followed closely behind.

As they walked, the two discussed some of the perilous areas of the Death Swamp.

Shi Ji's expression suddenly darkened.

He heard the sounds of fierce fighting ahead, as if cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Let's go take a look!"

The two hurriedly rushed towards the direction from which the fighting was coming.

The further we go, the more we move forward.

The sounds of fighting grew increasingly intense.

"It's those two. Could it be that they're enemies seeking revenge?"

Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise.

They saw two male cultivators, one of whom was dressed in a black robe.

The other person was wearing a white robe.

Shi Ji recognized the black-robed man; he was the terrifying being she had encountered deep within the Death Swamp who cultivated the Death Codex.

The other white-robed cultivator, Shi Ji, was someone he had never seen before. (End of Chapter)
