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

Nangong Shui heard this and said slowly: "The Nine Suns Secret Realm is a mysterious place in our Immortal Sect. It is said that this secret realm was jointly arranged by nine super masters in the Immortal Venerable Realm, and it will be opened once every 50,000 years."

"Immortal Venerable?" Shi Ji was shocked when he heard this, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. Although he was quite powerful, he still had a long way to go before he could reach the realm of Immortal Venerable.

Seeing this, Nangong Shui smiled and said, "My strength is still shallow, so I can't enter it. But you have absorbed the immortal spirit of the Immortal Spirit Spring, so entering the Nine Suns Secret Realm should not be a problem."

Shi Ji nodded when he heard this, and he felt an urge to try it out. He looked at Nangong Shui and said, "Then I'll go and give it a try. No matter what the result is, I have to go and try it myself."

After the two finished talking, they walked towards the foot of the mountain. Soon, they came to an open area. Nangong Shui pointed to a huge mountain in the distance and said, "That open area is the entrance to the Nine Suns Secret Realm."

Shiji looked in the direction Nangong Shui pointed, and saw a towering mountain rising majestically in the distance. The mountain was about a thousand feet high, purple-gold in color, and looked extremely spectacular.

On a rock wall at the top of the mountain, there is an ancient cave. Around the cave stand thick pillars engraved with ancient and mysterious runes. The cave is actually the teleportation array leading to the Jiuyang Secret Realm.

"Let's go and take a look at the cave first." After Nangong Shui said this, he stepped forward and walked towards the giant purple-gold mountain.

The two came to the front of the mountain. Nangong Shui pointed at the huge purple-gold mountain and explained to Shiji: "This mountain is the entrance to the Nine Suns Secret Realm. Although the cave is wide, it is extremely narrow. Generally, only powerful people in the Immortal King realm can enter."

Hearing this, Shiji muttered to himself, the entrance to the Nine Suns Secret Realm is so mysterious. He looked at Nangong Shui and asked, "How deep is this cave?"

Nangong Shui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. I once tried to enter the Nine Suns Secret Realm, but failed. In the end, I only got in one-third of the way."

Upon hearing this, Shiji smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I will go explore the way first. Regardless of whether I can successfully enter, I must try it myself."

After saying that, he flashed and rushed to the top of the mountain like a streak of light.

With a loud "bang", the entrance of the cave was shattered by a terrifying force, and a black space crack suddenly appeared in front of the two people.

Immediately afterwards, Shiji's figure appeared in the black space crack.

Nangong Shui was stunned when he saw this, but he did not follow Shiji into the space crack.

As soon as Shiji entered the space crack, he saw a blood-red color in front of his eyes. He felt dizzy and even felt like vomiting blood.

But he forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart and tried to calm himself down. He could clearly feel that this space was filled with a powerful mana fluctuation, and that powerful mana fluctuation made him feel an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

This feeling made Shiji's heart shudder. He felt as if he was standing on a blazing mountain of fire. The fire was so hot that even a layer of his skin was burned.

"Hiss..." Shiji couldn't help but gasp. He knew that this environment was undoubtedly a severe test for him. If he couldn't hold on, he would most likely be swallowed by the blazing flames.

However, Shiji also understood that his strength had improved a lot compared to before.

Therefore, he believed that he had the ability to pass this test. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the space was filled with a faint mist, which contained a strong fire element.

The purity of the fire element surprised Shiji secretly. He muttered to himself that there might be some special flames hidden in this space. Moreover, the purity of these flames far exceeded any flames he had seen before.

Thinking of this, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a huge shadow suddenly appeared behind him. The shadow was hundreds of feet tall, and a scarlet fire phoenix was soaring in the void, lifelike, as if it would soar into the sky in the next moment.

"Crying!" The loud cry of a phoenix resounded through the sky. The fire phoenix raised its head and let out a long roar. It then spread its wings and flew high. It turned into a red rainbow of fire and quickly shot towards the giant mountain.

"Bang!" The red flames hit the giant mountain hard, making a deafening noise.

"Crack!" Under the violent collision, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the giant mountain.

This scene made Shiji's eyes widen, his face full of horror. He secretly marveled in his heart that the power of this flame was so terrifying!
He knew very well that his current strength was not enough to confront the flame head-on.

Therefore, he decided to adopt a more cautious strategy and slowly look for opportunities.

"Sigh..." Shiji sighed lightly, then turned around and continued to fly towards the top of the mountain.

However, just after he left, a pitch-black fireball suddenly appeared above the purple-gold giant mountain. The fireball emitted a scorching temperature, which was even higher than all the flames Shiji had encountered before. Moreover, the temperature continued to rise, as if it was going to melt him completely.

"Hiss..." Shiji couldn't help but take another breath of cold air. His eyes flashed with cold light and he snorted coldly: "I don't believe that this flame can really burn everything!"

"Whoosh!"

Shiji's figure flashed, and he rushed forward again. Behind him, a huge wing of fire slowly stretched out, and as he accelerated, he instantly shuttled through the boundless void.

After a while, he came to a magnificent cave. Looking at the cave, Shiji took a deep breath and then strode in.

When you step into the cave, the first thing that catches your eye is a wide platform.

Around the platform, towering trees stand tall, exuding a faint green, appearing full of vitality. On the tops of these trees, round beads are hung, they are crystal clear and emit a soft light.

The light seemed to have magical power that could stop the flames from burning and prevent them from raging.

"The flame essence here is really extraordinary!" Shiji was secretly delighted. These flame essences are more than a hundred times purer than the fire elements in the outside world, and contain a trace of the power of the origin of fire.

"It seems that I must absorb all these fire elements." Shiji muttered to himself, with a blazing light flashing in his eyes. Then, he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the skills, frantically devouring the surrounding fire elements. At the same time, incomplete memory fragments kept flashing through his mind.

"So that's how it is. This is the place of inheritance. I must cultivate the soul fire as soon as possible. Only with the soul fire can I get the inheritance." Shiji realized it in his heart.

He knew very well that the essence of the fire element here was of vital importance to him, because only monks with soul fire could use these fire elements to temper their bodies and souls.

"Om..."

Just as Shiji's thoughts were in a mess, a strange wave emanated from his body. His soul fire began to beat slowly, as if it was about to jump out of his body. "My soul fire is going to advance?" Shiji's eyes flashed with excitement, "I really didn't expect that it could advance again this time."

He exhaled lightly. The soul fire is the most important part of the soul, representing the essence and power of the soul. Once the soul fire is upgraded, the soul will also transform.

"Shh!"

Shiji suddenly opened his eyes, and red flames flashed in his eyes. His momentum rose, and although it was not huge, it gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Whoosh!"

Shiji stretched out her hands, and two balls of blazing flames instantly ignited in her palms. As time went by, the two balls of flame continued to expand and grow stronger.

"boom!"

Shiji waved his hand, and the two flames suddenly collided with each other, erupting into a terrifying energy ripple. This force spread out in all directions, tearing the surrounding void into dark cracks.

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, a strange sound rang out from within Shiji's body. Rays of light shot out from his pores, converging into a stream of light that eventually sank into his body.

This stream of light turned out to be a pill, which was milky white in color and had countless mysterious runes on it, making it look extremely mysterious.

"Elixir?"

Shiji stared at the milky white pill in his hand, his heart filled with solemnity, "It's really unexpected that I would get it at this time."

He took a deep breath and put the pill into his mouth. Instantly, the pill melted and turned into pure medicinal power, flowing through the meridians throughout the body. This made Shiji's soul even stronger.

The effect of this pill was surprisingly good, Shiji even felt that if he took one more pill, he might be able to break through his current realm. This was simply too amazing.

"I must make good use of this pill. When I break through to the Saint realm, my strength will definitely increase greatly." Shiji muttered to himself, "I wonder what kind of existence the Saint who can ferry souls will be?"

This pill is made of natural treasures, and each one has a different effect. One of them is specifically used to enhance the spiritual power of the cultivator, and this pill is one of them. In addition, there are two other pills that are used to enhance mental power and physical strength, and promote the integration of mental power and physical strength. Although the power of this type of pill is relatively weak, they have extremely terrifying recovery power and are very precious to cultivators.

"This pill should also be of great help to the power of the soul, right?" Shiji guessed secretly.

He exhaled a few deep breaths, cleared his mind, and then sat cross-legged, absorbing the pure medicinal power. At the same time, he activated the Chaos Sutra, practiced the technique, refined the milky white pill, and absorbed it into his soul sea.

In the Dantian, a milky white lotus flower was suspended above Shiji's head. On the lotus leaves, three drops of liquid spirit fluid were spinning non-stop, emitting a strong medicinal aroma.

At this moment, Shiji was completely immersed in the process of refining this milky white pill and was unaware of anything in the outside world.

Somewhere outside, two old men were sitting cross-legged quietly. They looked to be in their 50s or 60s, with wrinkles all over their faces, as if their lives were in danger at any moment. However, on their chests hung an ancient token.

"what?"

One of the old men narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards the distant sky, his brows slightly raised, "Someone has made a breakthrough? And his strength seems to be very strong, even the induction of the two of us has been blocked. It's really not simple!"

"Well, it should be the young man named Shiji that your Nangong Shui mentioned." Another old man nodded, "I also felt it, his aura is very strong."

"Haha." The old man chuckled. "No matter what, he is an outsider. Although he is of great benefit to us, we still need to make other plans."

"good."

The two old men looked at each other and smiled sinisterly. Then, they disappeared from the spot with a flash of their bodies. When they appeared again, they were already a hundred feet away. They were so fast that they were like ghosts.

At this time, the area where Shiji was located had completely quieted down. Shiji was still sitting cross-legged, motionless.

And in Shiji's mind, a strange picture quietly emerged.

He saw a towering mountain, standing in the void. The mountain was like a sharp sword, extremely sharp, emitting a chilling breath. It gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, as if it would fall if touched. This feeling made Shiji very uncomfortable.

This is?

Seeing this scene, Shiji's eyebrows showed a trace of doubt. He observed carefully and found that the huge mountain was a magical weapon left by the cultivators of this world.

"Could it be that the people in this world are also pursuing me?" Shiji's face became solemn. "Perhaps there is something about me that attracts them. However, there are too many things in this world that can tempt them."

Thinking of this, Shiji's eyes became sharp. Since these people came to him, he didn't mind letting them see what a true genius was.

"Om..."

Suddenly, a vortex slowly emerged on Shiji's forehead. Immediately, a powerful soul force was released from the vortex, turning into a large net, sweeping in all directions.

"Whizzing!"

Shiji's eyes suddenly opened, and a bright golden beam of light burst out, piercing through the void and tearing the space apart.

This is……

In an instant, Shiji's face showed shock. He felt that his soul seemed to be much stronger. Although it was not a sudden improvement, it was on a higher trend.

"I understand."

Shiji's face showed an ecstatic expression, "Is this the effect of the pill?" (End of this chapter)
