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

Tong Tian Shengren's attitude was still stubborn, but his tone had softened a little: "He is a disciple of Jiejiao after all. Besides, Jiejiao is in decline now, and it is the time to use people. If Junior Brother abandons him, I am afraid that everyone in Jiejiao will be disheartened."

The grudge between Tongtian Shengren and Shiji has a long history. He was defeated by Shiji in the past. As the mainstay of Jiejiao, Shiji is regarded as the hope star of Jiejiao, so Yuanshi Tianzun is unwilling to give up on him easily.

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and said slowly: "Forget it, I don't bother to ask about the personal grudges between you. But Shiji is from our Jiejiao, and protecting the weak is the purpose of our Jiejiao. You two must remember this."

Tongtian Saint was startled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more. Taiqing Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun smiled at each other, but each of them had their own plans in mind.

Yuanshi Tianzun's ambition was not limited to the Western Zhou Dynasty, he wanted to support a new saint to take the throne. He had long been dissatisfied with Taishang, Tongtian and others.

"What are your plans for the West's current moves, or their layout?" asked Yuanshi Tianzun.

The Supreme Saint stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "There are two apostates in my Jie Sect, one is Minghe and the other is Shiji. These two traitors colluded with foreign demons and almost destroyed my Jie Sect!"

Sage Tongtian was shocked when he heard this: "Minghe? Wasn't he suppressed in Northern Juluzhou? How could he seek refuge with others, and even an evil demon from the outside world?"

"Could it be Shiji?" Tongtian Saint seemed to have some impression of this name, but he couldn't remember who it was. "How could Shiji be so powerful that he dared to betray Jiejiao and defect to the West?"

"Shiji is an innate saint, his cultivation is not inferior to you and me, and even higher than us. He is the successor personally trained by Shiji Patriarch. He is obviously well prepared when he defected to the West this time." Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, "No matter what his reason is, since he has escaped, we must stop the Journey to the West this time."

"Brother, why don't we join forces to completely cut off his luck." Tongtian Saint said coldly. Jiejiao's calamity came not only from the Queen Mother of the West, but also from the existence of the Styx. As a disciple of Shiji, the Styx would definitely not look at them well on the journey to the West.

"If we join forces, we should be able to kill Shiji and Minghe." Yuanshi Tianzun said after a moment's silence, "In this way, even their alliance will find it difficult to stir up trouble."

The two Heavenly Lords looked at each other, and suddenly Yuanshi Tianzun said, "There is no need to rush this matter. Let Taiyi test the strength of the West first."

After Taiyi Zhenren returned to Taihao Palace, he ordered his disciples to look for the traces of other saints and prepare to ambush them.

"The teacher once said that we need to rely on the power of all living beings to refine a magic weapon. Why not use the blood of the people in the West as a sacrifice?" Taiyi Zhenren looked at the Western Buddhist Kingdom and thought to himself. He planned to extract the blood from these Western monks for sacrifice. Only a few hundred thousand monks' blood would be enough to allow the saints to reappear in the world, without having to rely on the power of the Three Pure Ones.

In the Vishnu Temple in the west, golden light flickered, and a supreme god and demon descended on Lingshan. This god and demon had red hair like flames, a pale face, and red eyes. He exuded a deadly aura, like an evil ghost from the depths of hell.

This person is the evil demon Shiji who was suppressed by the Saint Tongtian for a long time and exiled to the netherworld. After being sealed, Shiji put all his energy on the Lingshan Pure Land in the west, using the faith of the people in Lingshan to condense his own Dharma image.

After completing the refinement of his Dharma image, he became weaker, but he had regained a bit of sanity compared to his peak period.

"Western Lingshan, you haven't given up yet." Shiji murmured in a low voice, his tone full of anger, "But sooner or later I will return to the East China Sea and annihilate you all!"

His eyes fell on Maitreya Buddha: "Is this guy the future Sakyamuni?"

"Amitabha." Maitreya Buddha saw Shiji wake up and bowed quickly. At the same time, he was shocked because the aura Shiji just showed was vaguely at the level of a quasi-saint.

Shiji frowned slightly. He did regain some consciousness. But because he had been suppressed by the Sage Tongtian for too long, his body was severely damaged and his foundation was unstable, so his recovery was slow.

However, the power of gods and demons in his body was still strong. With this power, he could fight even the Buddha in front of him.

"What's going on?" Shiji asked in confusion, "Is it because my magic power has been exhausted? Or is there something wrong with my body?"

He felt it carefully and suddenly found that his body was already weak and even the last bit of his divine power was about to be exhausted.

Suddenly, he remembered the altar he had set up in the East China Sea Dragon Clan. When he set up the altar, he had anticipated that his fate might be to be suppressed in the East China Sea and never rise again. But he never expected that he would be suppressed here.

Shiji reacted very quickly, chanting the spell immediately and destroying the altar. His only thought at this moment was to escape as quickly as possible, return to the East China Sea to continue hiding, and slowly recuperate.

As soon as the altar was destroyed, it immediately attracted a fierce attack from the Donghuang Bell.

A deafening bell sounded, and Shiji was blown away by the Donghuang Bell. His body shook and turned into a giant Kun hundreds of feet tall. At the same time, an ancient bronze coffin appeared in his hand.

"This is the greatest treasure left by Donghuang, but it is broken and incomplete. If not, with the power of Donghuang Bell, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to leave the East China Sea." Shiji threw the ancient bronze coffin into the air. The ancient coffin swelled up in the wind and became a thousand meters long in an instant.

He waved his hand, and the Donghuang Bell flew out from the Donghuang Palace and merged into the ancient coffin. It suddenly emitted billions of rays of light, illuminating the entire Xiniu Hezhou as if it were daytime.

"Hmm? There seems to be a saint's aura fluctuating on the sacred mountain in the west?" Dong Huang suddenly raised his head and looked towards the west. A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. "Could it be that the west has sent a saint to take action?"

Dong Huang didn't care about anything else and immediately flew to the west. At the same time, he ordered Emperor Donghua and others: "You should return to the East Sea as soon as possible. I suspect that the saints in the West have already taken action. I'm afraid it's a plan against our Jiejiao."

The layout of the West? The Jiejiao immortals pondered and finally came to a conclusion.

The Sage Tongtian suddenly asked, "Could it be Shiji?"

Sage Tongtian recalled a rumor that he once killed a monster in the Hunyuan Daluo realm, which was a Kun fish called Shiji.

After Shiji was killed, his magic weapons and magical treasures were confiscated by Jiejiao and sealed in the Donghuang Palace and kept by Donghuang.

The Sage Tongtian once calculated that these spiritual treasures were definitely not ordinary things.

The Donghuang Bell, the ancient coffin, and many other rare treasures are all treasures born in the chaos, and each of them contains the mark of the laws of chaos. These instruments are regarded as holy instruments by Jiejiao, but they have another special feature.

A trace of Shiji's remnant is hidden in these magic weapons. If these magic weapons are destroyed, it is very likely that Shiji's remnant soul will be awakened, allowing him to recover his past memories.

"Yes, it is Shiji. I once killed a trace of his remnant. Now that he has awakened, he must be coming for us, Jiejiao." Shiji was a great demon in Dongsheng Shenzhou back then. His Taoism was not inferior to any saint, and sometimes even better.

Saint Donghuang was in a solemn mood: "This guy is not dead yet, and it seems that he has recovered a lot of strength after recuperating in the West during this period of time." He did not dare to be careless and quickly summoned his disciples to prepare for the battle.

“Tongtian, I am here to help this time.” On the Western Lingshan Mountain, Taoist Zhunti and Taoist Jieying joined forces to attack.

The Taoist Jie Yin waved the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and brushed it towards Shi Ji, and a black mist wrapped around Shi Ji, trying to drag him back to Lingshan. The Taoist Zhunti pinched the lotus platform magic formula, and the lotus leaves in the sky rotated, trapping Shi Ji in the lotus leaves.

Shiji snorted coldly: "A mere Buddha, you want to capture me?" The Shiji totem appeared behind him, nine suns surrounding it, nine suns rising together, a golden furnace of the sun enveloped Zhunti Taoist, and forcibly dragged him in. "Huh?" Jieyin Taoist was shocked. This former brother is actually three times stronger than he was back then? He quickly pinched the lotus seal to try to rescue Zhunti.

However, at this moment, a Golden Crow and a Black Yin appeared beside Shiji. The Black Bird turned into a Yin-Yang diagram, blocking the attack of the Taoist Jie Yin.

"Zhunti, your opponent is me!" Shiji sneered, holding the Donghuang Bell in his hand, stepped down and kicked the Taoist Zhunti away.

The Taoist Jie Yin looked solemn: "This beast's cultivation is much stronger than before!"

With the help of Donghuang Palace, Shiji's cultivation increased greatly. Now he is stronger than before. With his physical strength alone, he can be on par with Hunyuan Saint, and only slightly inferior to Taiqing Saint.

And Shiji's realm is far beyond everyone else, and has already touched the threshold of quasi-saints. If he had not been sealed in the East China Sea, he would have already become a saint.

"Zhunti, you sneak attacked me back then, today I will let you have a taste of the pain!" Shiji tightly grasped the Donghuang Bell and slammed it towards Zhunti.

Zhunti Taoist was protected by the Qi of the Three Corpses, but he was still powerless against this innate treasure. He crossed his arms to block, but was shattered by Shiji's blow.

Zhunti vomited blood and flew backwards. He saw Shiji chasing him closely from the corner of his eye, with an anxious look on his face: "Master! Uncle! Brother!"

Shiji showed her vicious nature and forced Zhunti into a desperate situation, forcing him to flee in embarrassment. The Taoist Jieyin had a gloomy face: "Shiji, don't go too far!"

He pinched his fingers and a cloud of celebration appeared above his head. In the cloud stood a Bodhi tree, with countless golden lotuses falling from its swaying branches.

"Zhu Xian Sword Formation, suppress it!"

The golden lotus blossomed and transformed into thousands of flying swords that pierced into Shiji's head and nailed him to the ground.

"Shiji, the three of us once joined forces to kill you. Today, we will suppress you again!" Zhunti Taoist took the opportunity to punch through Shiji's chest. However, Shiji felt no pain, but laughed grimly, and his figure gradually disappeared on the spot.

"Oh no! It's an illusion!" The Bodhisattva Cundi was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

Everything in front of me is an illusion, the real Shiji has already escaped.

"Junior brother!" The face of the Taoist Jie Yin was full of worry. Seeing that the Saint Zhunti was seriously injured, he hurried forward to support him, took out healing pills and fed them to him.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Zhunti slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, “Fortunately this guy has just recovered, otherwise even if we joined forces, we might not be his opponent.”

The two saints supported each other and left Donghua Palace. However, they stopped after walking a short distance.

"Shiji? Why did he come to us again?" Sage Tongtian frowned, "Is it because of the suppression he received back then?"

The Taoist Jie Yin sighed and said, "It's time to settle the feud between us and him." As he spoke, a demon-subduing pestle appeared in his hand.

After discussing, the two saints decided to go to the Western Sacred Mountain. At this time, Shiji had already arrived outside the Western Sacred Mountain, staring at the magnificent world.

"West, I'm back!"

Shiji waved his sleeves and rushed in. A red light flashed, and he landed directly in the Yaochi where the Queen Mother of the West was.

When the Queen Mother of the West heard Shiji's voice, her hands trembled with fear. The children beside her hurried forward and asked, "My Queen, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Queen Mother Xi tried to remain calm and looked around. She saw a burly man wearing a phoenix crown standing in the hall, looking at her with interest.

"Who are you?" asked Queen Mother of the West vigilantly.

Shiji laughed: "Don't you recognize me? I am your former husband." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a girl in red in the Yaochi.

The girl had a pretty face but looked frightened. She was pulled to the ground by a huge force.

"Who are you? Let my sister go!" Queen Mother of the West shouted angrily, reaching out to take out the jade bottle and trying to suppress Shiji. However, Shiji at this moment was not the weak Shiji from before.

"My queen, even though I didn't like you in the past, I have been with you for a hundred years after all. Now, can you bear to watch me perish?" Shiji waved his hand and the girl was caught in his hand.

Queen Mother of the West was furious: "Since you have become a useless person, how can I be involved with you again?"

When Shiji saw the crescent-shaped birthmark on the girl's neck, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He exerted force with his palm and strangled the Western princess to death.

"No! You can't kill my sister!" Queen Mother of the West rushed towards Shiji frantically, but was stopped by Taoist Jie Yin in mid-air.

“Fellow Taoist, please stay. This is the sacred mountain in the west. Do not break the rules here.” The Taoist master Jie Yin held the Buddhist beads in his hand and silently circulated his magic power.

He discussed with Zhunti and planned to use the Great Compassion Mantra to erase Shiji's memory, and then refine a new puppet to make Shiji completely forget everything.

However, at this moment, a green rainbow suddenly appeared in the distance.

The green light fell and transformed into Yang Jian's figure. He held the Haotian Mirror in his left hand and the Purple Lightning Hammer in his right hand, and smashed towards Shiji.

"Yang Jian!" Queen Mother of the West breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her brother appear.

"You're finally here!" The Taoist Jie Yin's face changed slightly. This kid is still alive? Shouldn't he have died in Lei Ze?

"You are Jie Yin, right? I owed you a favor in the past, and now I'm returning it to you." Yang Jian said in a cold tone, "I don't care whether you are from the Western Religion or from the heavens and myriad worlds. As long as you dare to touch my Jie Religion, you will pay the price!"

"Junior Brother Yang Jian, didn't you go to Lei Ze to find me? Why are you back here again?" Shi Ji suddenly felt Yang Jian's presence and said in surprise, "Are you here for me?" (End of this chapter)
