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

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Upon hearing this, Shi Ji sighed and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. The mental techniques of the first and second levels of the Great Evolution Star Technique, as well as the moves of the third level, appeared in his mind.

Shi Ji completed the first level of cultivation, and soon a terrifying aura erupted from his body, like a volcanic eruption.

Shi Ji let out a wild roar, his entire body radiating a destructive aura.

A vortex appeared around the rocky islet.

His bones cracked and popped, and a powerful aura rose up.

He directly stepped into the half-step reincarnation realm, and even took a step further into the peak of the half-step reincarnation realm, just one step away from the Nirvana realm.

"Okay!" Nanming Liyue's beautiful eyes were filled with doting affection.

Shi Ji concealed her aura, turned around, and walked up.

"How did you know?" Shi Ji asked in confusion. If he didn't know that the woman in front of him was his mother, he might not have been able to guess at all, because he hadn't noticed any changes in himself.

“You possess a mysterious power within you, a power that can suppress the resentment of the Blood Demon,” Nanming Liyue pointed to Shiji’s chest, “which is why you acted just now.”

"Is this the power of a divine pill?" Shi Ji frowned upon hearing this.

“That’s right, this is a ninth-grade golden pill called the Chaos Divine Pill,” Nanming Liyue explained. “I refined this myself back then, intending to keep it for my own use, but I never expected it to be sealed inside your body.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji fell silent for a moment. The value of a ninth-grade golden pill was extraordinary, especially for those at the Martial Domain level.

“You acted too recklessly this time. Not only did you expose your identity, but you also damaged your father’s mausoleum,” Nanming Liyue sighed. “Fortunately, you have returned safely.”

“Mother, it’s all my fault for being reckless. I should have been more patient, but I was worried that you would be in danger,” Shi Ji said apologetically. “I would rather risk entering the Blood Demon’s lair than have you in danger.”

"I'm fine. Although I'm injured, I'm not someone that an ordinary person can do anything to." Nanming Liyue said, gazing into the void.

"Alright, this is what your father left behind when he left here. Study it carefully and strive to break through the half-step reincarnation and enter the Nirvana Realm as soon as possible," Nanming Liyue instructed again.

At this moment, Shi Ji reached out and grasped Nanming Liyue's delicate hands: "Mother!"

“Silly child, you’ve suffered these past years. You don’t need to blame yourself. Our Nanming family doesn’t owe anyone anything,” Nanming Liyue said with a smile. “Our Nanming family owes your Lin family something.”

“Mother, I know. Don’t worry, I will never let you down.” Upon hearing this, Shi Ji stared into the void, his fists clenched, his eyes unwavering. He knew that this path was destined to be arduous and difficult.

“I’m relieved that you understand our predicament,” Nanming Liyue said with a gentle smile, stroking Shiji’s hair. “This was prepared for you by your father before he passed away.”

As she spoke, she took out another piece of green jade and handed it to Shiji. The jade was dark red and had a Buddha carved on it.

"Bodhi Jewel!"

A bitter smile touched Shi Ji's lips, and a deep longing welled up in his heart. He reached out with trembling hands and picked up the Bodhi Bead: "Bodhi Bead, thank you, Dad."

"I believe he would be very happy to know." A sweet smile appeared on Nanming Liyue's lips as she gently wiped away her tears.

Shi Ji nodded slightly, then stood up, walked to the boulder, closed his eyes, and his primordial spirit entered a state of cultivation.

A series of booming sounds echoed throughout the secret chamber, and bolts of lightning intertwined to form a thunder pool. A Bodhi tree stood above the thunder pool, and a crystal-clear relic floated at the top of the Bodhi tree.

Suddenly, Nanming Liyue's beautiful eyes fixed on the Bodhi Fruit: "He actually used the Bodhi Fruit as a catalyst to set up a spirit-gathering array."

A smile spread across her face as she gazed at Shi Ji's figure, her eyes moistening. Shi Ji seemed to be growing increasingly unfamiliar to her.

Thunder rumbled in the secret chamber. An hour later, Shi Ji opened his hazy eyes. His aura was stronger than ever before, and his physical body had become even more powerful.

"Congratulations on finally breaking through to the half-step reincarnation realm." Nanming Liyue looked at Shiji. "Alright, continue your cultivation. There is something hidden in this bottle of blood, left to you by my father. You can use it to temper your body."

As she spoke, she produced a jade bottle and handed it to Shi Ji.

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

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Nanming Liyue said quietly.

"Oh, okay." Upon hearing this, Shi Ji took the jade bottle and carefully opened it. Immediately, a pungent stench wafted out.

Shi Ji stared in horror at what was inside the bottle; he saw a few drops of dark brown blood, each the size of a soybean.

"This is what my father left you, a kind of gift. He was extremely powerful back then, no less than anyone else, but unfortunately he suffered a severe injury. This is his life essence, and the only gift your father left you."

Nanming Liyue stared at the blood in the bottle with her beautiful eyes and said.

"So that's how it is, no wonder it's so domineering!" Shi Ji muttered to herself, the blood contained in this bottle was incredibly domineering.

“This bottle is made of Myriad Poison Black Iron, and the life essence blood inside can improve your physique,” ​​Nanming Liyue said. “Your cultivation speed will increase, and there are other things as well.”

"What else?" Shi Ji couldn't help but ask.

“This is a drop of blood from the Great Brahma Emperor. He once slew a demon and absorbed its bloodline and memories. This was specially made for him by your father,” Nanming Liyue said, looking at Shiji.

"Emperor Brahma?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji exclaimed with delight, "Great! This drop of blood is enough for me to cultivate for thousands of years, hahaha..."

"Indeed, your bloodline has completed its transformation. This drop of blood is enough to help you cross over to the half-step reincarnation level," Nanming Liyue said with a smile.

"Alright, Mother, you go out first. I need to refine this drop of blood." Shi Ji stood with her hands behind her back, proudly standing in this void. "In the future, I will definitely trample all those people under my feet."

"Yes, be careful, and don't force yourself to do anything," Nanming Liyue cautioned. "Even if your father were alive, he wouldn't dare to make such a boast."

"I will be careful." Shi Ji nodded slightly upon hearing this. "By the way, Mother, don't tell anyone else about what happened here for now."

"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements." Nanming Liyue looked at Shiji with a smile. "Alright, you go ahead and cultivate. I'll wait for you here."

"Yes!" Shi Ji respectfully withdrew.

Shi Ji immediately walked to the deepest part of the cave, which was like a maze, pitch black and eerie.

In a pitch-black place sat an ancient coffin, emanating a vast and boundless aura. Shi Ji, holding the Blood Fiend Spear, approached the coffin, kneeling on one knee beside it, gazing at it.

Shi Ji roared to the sky, his voice echoing deep in the valley, shaking the heavens, like a dragon's roar, like a phoenix's cry.

A blood-red spear flew out, landed on the ground, and then emitted a dazzling scarlet light, like a blood sword pointing straight to the sky. A monstrous aura of resentment erupted from this blood-red spear, soaring into the clouds.

Another gunshot rang out in the valley, and the blood-red spear shook violently with destructive power.

The blood-red spear emitted an eerie sound, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost, and its shaft trembled violently as if trying to break free of its restraints.

Just then, two white chains shot out from between Shi Ji's eyebrows.

The white chains contained a terrifying devouring power, and like lightning, they swept towards the blood-red spear, which immediately stabilized.

The blood-red spear let out another violent, mournful cry.

The moment the blood-red spear was suppressed, nine beams of light appeared in the void, each radiating dazzling brilliance.

Within each ray of light lies a blood-red planet.

Nine blood-red planets floated in the void.

These are nine suns!
These nine suns contain extremely pure solar essence fire power, which is the true core of the sun condensed by a powerful emperor. Once activated, it can release terrifying power.

"What powerful solar cores!" Shi Ji sensed the nine solar cores floating in the void. Although these solar cores were not as powerful as divine weapons, they far surpassed ordinary quasi-emperor magic treasures and could be called supreme treasures. Moreover, it was rare for nine of them to appear together.

“This is what the Great Brahma Emperor left behind,” Nanming Liyue explained. “You must cherish it and overcome any difficulties you encounter.”

“I understand,” Shi Ji said with a smile. As he spoke, he walked towards one of the solar cores and stepped into it.

The interior of the solar core was warm as spring, like being in a fairyland. This solar core was filled with powerful energy fluctuations. He sat cross-legged inside, circulating his blood and qi, frantically refining the medicinal power of this solar core.

The medicinal power of this solar eukaryote is extremely great.

This made Shi Ji ecstatic, because the medicinal power kept seeping into his flesh and blood, and at this moment, new cells were generated in his flesh and blood.

At the same time, these cells are spread all over the body like a spider web.

Just then, deep within Shi Ji's dantian, the divine tablet shook violently and burst forth with a dazzling beam of light. This powerful life force surged into his body, and his skin radiated a brilliant glow.

The sound of flowing water echoed through the space, and the streams converged to form a clear spring. From that spring flowed strands of chaotic primordial liquid, nourishing Shi Ji's body like rain.

Shi Ji couldn't help but let out a soft moan. As the chaotic primordial liquid nourished him, his flesh and blood began to sprout. The sprouting process was very short, lasting only three seconds.

However, Shi Ji's flesh and blood radiated an even stronger power, a transformation brought about by vigorous vitality.

Suddenly, Shi Ji's bones cracked, and he seemed to have become even stronger.

Shi Ji's aura rose steadily, and his cultivation level soared, reaching the peak of the first-grade quasi-god level.

Immediately afterwards, the blood in Shi Ji's body boiled, and a series of crackling sounds rang out. Blood-red runes appeared on his body surface, densely packed.

These crimson runes swirled around his body like tadpoles, and his aura broke through to a new level, entering the realm of a second-grade quasi-god.

"Such powerful life potential! It improved so much so easily, and his physique is even stronger now!" Nanming Liyue exclaimed, watching this scene. "Could it be because of that jade pendant?"

This jade pendant contains terrifying power, which even she finds frightening. One can imagine how formidable the owner of this jade pendant must be.

Shi Ji's face showed pain, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes opened, revealing an evil aura.

His eyes were fixed on the enormous coffin in front of him as he fell into deep thought.

This coffin is extremely precious.

It is engraved with mysterious patterns.

Those are the patterns of the ancient Styx River Map.

This coffin was cast from the Primordial Styx Map. The Primordial Styx Map is said to be all-encompassing, containing many mysteries of the Primordial Styx. This coffin is indeed a map, and the image on this map is none other than the entire Primordial Styx Map.

The Ancient Underworld River Map is divided into five parts.

They were respectively controlled by the three kings of the Northern Desert.

The Three Kings of the Northern Desert were the ancestors of the ancient Styx Clan and also Great Saints under the command of the Great Brahma Emperor.

Shi Ji's gaze was fixed on the coffin, inside which lay a corpse. It was a male corpse, emanating an aura of boundless dominance. His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in wounds, indicating that he had perished many years ago.

The man sat there with his eyes closed, like a statue. He exuded a powerful will that swept across the surrounding area.

This will made Shi Ji feel an urge to worship it. This will was too terrifying, as if it were the will of an unparalleled ruler.

Shi Ji's throat bobbed a few times as he forcibly suppressed his excitement, his eyes carefully examining the corpse before him. The body was remarkably well-preserved, showing no signs of decay whatsoever.

“This should be the remains of a Great Emperor.” Shi Ji stood quietly in the void, reaching out his hands to grab the corpse’s neck.

Shi Ji's hand trembled slightly in the air. He tried to calm himself, but the trepidation and anticipation in his heart were impossible to conceal. His fingers gently touched the corpse's neck. In that instant, he seemed to feel a strong energy fluctuation, as if touching an ancient piece of history, a long-dormant power pulsating at his fingertips...

"Be careful!" Nanming Liyue's voice rang in his ears, tinged with concern and urgency. Shi Ji turned his head and saw the worry in Nanming Liyue's eyes. He knew that at this moment, he could not back down, nor could he hesitate in the slightest.

He turned his gaze back to the corpse, took a deep breath, and touched the corpse's neck again with his fingers.

In that instant, the corpse's eyes suddenly opened slightly, revealing a pair of empty and deep eyes.

Shi Ji's heart skipped a beat. He felt an unprecedented fear, as if he were shrouded by an invisible force.

"Who are you?" The corpse's lips moved, uttering a hoarse and ancient voice. The voice seemed to transcend the barriers of time and space, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitude and majesty. (End of Chapter)
