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

"You are worrying too much, fellow Daoist. I just want you to help me find a suitable cave as my new residence." Shiji explained.

"Then why should I believe you? What if you lie to me?" Yang Jian remained vigilant.

"Don't worry. I am an ancient ferocious beast. How could I go back on my word? Look at this." Shiji took out a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was crystal clear, with many runes engraved inside.

"This is a talisman made from the fur of a mythical beast from the depths of chaos." Shiji said, "I originally prepared it for myself, but I didn't expect to use it so soon."

"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?" Yang Jian vaguely guessed something.

"I have just deduced that this piece of heavenly secret is blocked by a certain force. I wanted to forcibly tear apart this force, but unfortunately this piece of heavenly secret is related to two Daluo Jinxians, and I am powerless." Shiji sighed.

"Fortunately, you arrived in time. If you were a little later, both you and I would be dead."

“Is this amulet reliable?” Yang Jian asked suspiciously. Can this thing really withstand the calculations of a saint-level master?

"I am willing to guarantee it with my own spirit." Shiji said solemnly, "Although I have not reached the level of a saint, my true self is a saint. When I killed the two corpses of good and evil, I used this talisman to suppress the evil thoughts and prevent them from escaping and causing harm."

"That's great. Please give me this amulet, and I will reward you handsomely in the future." Yang Jian said happily. This was much safer than looking for it by himself.

Shiji shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. This jade pendant is a symbol of my identity. You just need to take this token to the Three Pure Ones and you will get their approval.

Brother Sanqing and Lady Nuwa are both my good friends. With their protection, no one dares to touch you."

"Then doesn't that mean I owe them two favors?" Yang Jian frowned.

"You don't have to mind this little favor, my friend." Shiji said with a smile, "When you have further improved your cultivation, you can return it to them."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I will definitely practice hard and will not let fellow Daoist Shiji down." Yang Jian said firmly.

Although he is now trapped by the limitations of this physical body, it does not hinder his cultivation. One day he will transcend.

Shiji nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "That's more like it."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shiji could tell us what the Daoist Ancestor is planning?" Xiyue suddenly asked.

Shiji's eyes flashed, and she said casually: "It's really no big deal, it's just for the elixir of life."

"Elixir of life? Could it be that fellow Daoist has already obtained the elixir of life?" Xiyue's face changed slightly.

"That's right." Shiji admitted frankly.

"Since you have obtained the elixir of immortality, why do you still want to fight with Daozu? Isn't this forcing Daozu to fight to the death?" Nuwa asked with a frown.

Shi Ji snorted disdainfully: "Although the elixir of immortality is precious, I don't care. If possible, I would like to take the elixir of immortality directly. However, since the Taoist Master has such ambitions, how can I sit idly by and let him do as he pleases?"

"Not only can I not obstruct Daozu, but I will give him a helping hand so that he can successfully obtain the elixir of immortality. I will also give my full support so that he can succeed as soon as possible."

"However, I never expected that Daozu would secretly send an incarnation here. As a result, my plan has failed, and I have no choice but to take action in advance."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Taoist is so cautious. It seems this matter is extremely important to him." Yang Jian said with enlightenment.

"No matter what, you have offended Daozu, and I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future." Xiyue pretended to be regretful and said, "Daoyou are in this situation, I'm afraid you will be in danger in the future."

Shiji smiled calmly: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. When I am out of this predicament, I will definitely repay you handsomely."

"As for the Taoist, I already have a countermeasure. We only need to put it into practice and it will surely succeed." Shiji said with a smile.

Xiyue sneered in her heart, Shiji was indeed cunning, but it was a pity that she met her.

"I wonder what countermeasure you are talking about?" Yang Jian asked, suppressing his inner excitement.

Shiji laughed loudly, pointed at the amulet in Yang Jian's hand and said, "Just look at my amulet and you will know."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian picked up the amulet and looked at it carefully.

"Fellow Daoist, your amulet doesn't seem to have anything special about it." Yang Jian said. He had never felt that there was anything strange about this jade pendant.

Shi Ji shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, you may not know that this amulet of mine is infused with a drop of my original blood and a wisp of my residual soul."

"Fellow Daoist, take this amulet with you and go into the realm of Taixu. Find a person named Tongtian Sect Master and give this amulet to him."

"Then he will return the amulet to you, and you can take refuge under him," said Shiji.

Yang Jian asked in surprise: "Daoyou, why is this?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that there is another person in the Heavenly Court besides me. This person is called Yuanshi Tianzun, known as the strongest among the Taiyi Golden Immortals, and is only one step away from Daluo perfection."

"This time he personally came to Kunlun Mountain, and even Nuwa and Jie Yin were no match for him. Therefore, he tried every possible means to obtain the elixir of immortality."

"However, the elixir of immortality is related to the inheritance left by the great god Pangu. Nuwa and others will never hand it over easily, and it is even more impossible for Yuanshi Tianzun to monopolize it." Shi Ji said slowly, his eyes fixed on Yang Jian.

"Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun plans to use fellow Taoist to destroy this amulet, so that he will have one less competitor. After all, I am now in decline." Shiji said self-deprecatingly, but his eyes became colder and colder.

He not only wants to plan for himself, but also wants to weaken the power of Jiejiao. This is not only for revenge, but also because Jiejiao's deterrent power in the prehistoric world is too great, especially when the Chanjiao is declining and the Demon Sect is declining.

"Fellow Daoist, what you mean is that we are going to have a head-on confrontation with the Taoist Ancestor?" Yang Jian asked after thinking for a moment.

Shiji smiled and said, "That's right. Otherwise, why do you think I'm so eager to collect the Yin-Yang fish? It's the key that can break through space and enter the netherworld."

"As long as we enter the netherworld, even Zhunti may not be able to stop us. By then, you and I will both attain the Golden Immortal Realm, and even Hongjun will not be able to do anything to us."

Yang Jian was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, I am willing to obey your orders."

Shiji laughed loudly, patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and said, "Good! You are indeed a wise man. As long as I can attain the Golden Immortal, the world will no longer be ruled by the Taoist Ancestor."

Xiyue suddenly said, "However, fellow Daoist, you must think it through. If you do this, I'm afraid you will become the enemy of Daozu completely. Aren't you afraid that he will wipe out the roots?"

Shi Ji said indifferently: "Afraid? Daozu will not kill me, otherwise he would not let me stay here for tens of thousands of years. And my identity also makes him hesitate."

"Besides, I still have this." Shiji spread out his right palm, and a lotus flower suddenly appeared in his palm.

"This is the ninth-grade white lotus, a treasure that I accidentally found in the West. It has the effect of shielding the aura. Even a quasi-saint cannot detect the slightest abnormality." Shi Ji said. Yang Jian exclaimed: "Such an innate spiritual object!"

"I am giving this magical treasure to you, fellow Taoist." Shiji said, "This item can block the detection of Quasi-Saints, and only Daluo Jinxian can find it. I am giving it to you, so that it will be more convenient for you to act in the future."

"This is too expensive." Yang Jian quickly declined. This is an innate spiritual treasure, more than a hundred times more powerful than his Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, and a true life-saving treasure.

Shiji said: "This item is of no use to me. Only you can unleash its full power. Besides, you are now a quasi-saint monk, and you have the magic weapon given by me. You are not afraid of being discovered. Take it."

"Okay, on behalf of my junior fellow apprentice, I would like to thank you for your generous gift. I will definitely live up to your expectations in the future." Yang Jian said with emotion.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist. We have known each other for a while, and I should take care of you." Shiji said.

Yang Jian nodded, carefully put away the white lotus, and then changed the subject: "When do you plan to set off, fellow Taoist?"

Shiji replied, "After three thousand years, my true self will awaken. In order to avoid Hongjun's pursuit, I reincarnated a wisp of my soul into an ordinary bird or beast. I only hope that it can thrive and don't forget me."

After hearing this, Xiyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, thinking in his heart that Shiji was so cruel that he was willing to give away such a thing.

Shiji continued, "Moreover, I will make those villains who covet my descendants pay the price and avenge my son and sister."

Xiyue muttered to herself, he is indeed a heroic figure.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I will definitely protect your descendants for you." Yang Jian promised solemnly.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Shi Ji said happily. With Yang Jian here, there are really few people in this world who can hurt his family.

Yang Jian said modestly: "Although I have now cultivated to the quasi-sage realm, my strength is still too low, my foundation is shallow, and my combat power is insufficient."

Shi Ji comforted him, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I have made all the arrangements over the years, and I will definitely restore your peak strength by then."

As he spoke, Shiji took out two pills and handed them to Yang Jian: "This is Shiji Pill. After taking it, you can temporarily possess the combat power of a Daluo Jinxian."

"In addition, I have found the five-colored stones for you. Once you condense the five-colored beads, you can devour them to enhance your own cultivation and improve your strength."

"Fellow Daoist Shiji, I will always remember your kindness in my heart." Yang Jian took the pill gratefully and said.

Shiji smiled and said, "Since we are allies, there is no need to thank me. Besides, I will still need to rely on you in the future."

"You are too polite, fellow Taoist. It is my great fortune to be able to form an alliance with you." Yang Jian said.

"Fellow Daoist, I need to practice in seclusion for a few days, so please leave first." Shiji said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian bowed, said goodbye and left.

Shiji looked at Yang Jian's receding back, and a deep light flashed in his eyes. Although Yang Jian was the candidate chosen by Daozu, he still needed to observe him carefully and find out his background before deciding whether to truly cooperate.

After Yang Jian left, he ran straight towards Kunlun Mountain. He was very fast and arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in a moment.

However, he did not go up the mountain directly, but went around to the south of the Kunlun Mountains and found a hidden place to hide.

The Kunlun Mountains are endless and vast, almost encompassing the entire world and embracing the four seas and eight wildernesses.

Yang Jian wandered in the Kunlun Mountains and encountered some humans. Some of them were passing by, while others came for opportunities in the Kunlun Mountains. Many of them eventually died in the mountains.

In a canyon deep in the Kunlun Mountains, a dragon is devouring a giant tiger.

This dragon is an ancient ferocious beast with an extremely strong body, comparable to the top-level chaotic beasts. It also has the blood of the Qilin and its strength is extraordinary.

It opened its bloody mouth and a gust of wind rushed out, turning into a whirlpool that swept across the sky, instantly tearing the giant tiger apart and swallowing it in one gulp.

After a while, the dragon burped and then fell into a deep sleep.

This dragon was Shiji. Before being suppressed and sealed by Xiyue, Shiji had already reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian. Now, after a million years, he has already reached the realm of Daluo perfection, and he is not inferior even to the Quasi-Sage.

Shiji was sleeping when a sudden strong wind woke him up. He sensed danger and flew out of the cave immediately.

"Roar!" Shiji roared, two rays of purple light shot out from his eyes, and rushed towards the attacking black shadow.

The black shadow was startled, then stopped and revealed its true appearance. It turned out to be a nine-headed lion demon, wearing golden armor and holding a golden spear.

"So it's the Nine-Headed Lion King. No wonder you dare to come to my territory." Shi Ji snorted coldly.

The nine-headed lion king shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory?"

Shi Ji said proudly: "Your territory? I tell you, this place is under my jurisdiction from now on."

The nine-headed lion king was furious: "Don't talk nonsense. You are just a monster, and you dare to get your hands on the blessed land of Kunlun. It is simply wishful thinking. Today is the day you die."

Shiji smiled contemptuously: "It is not your turn to interfere in my affairs. Since you are here to die, I will send you to reincarnation."

At a command, two rays of light burst out from the air.

The nine-headed lion king's face changed drastically, and he quickly dodged the attack, while spitting out flames from his mouth to block it. However, he underestimated Shiji's magic power, and the flames were simply unstoppable.

The nine-headed lion king could only watch his body turn to ashes and dissipate between heaven and earth, leaving only a head.

Shiji picked up the head of the nine-headed lion king, threw it away, and continued to practice, not taking what had just happened to heart.

Shiji was not in good condition at the moment because he was seriously injured and was almost at the end of his strength.

With a "plop" sound, something suddenly fell to the ground.

Shiji looked up and saw the head of a nine-clawed golden crow, exactly the same as the one Xiyue had cut off.

"Hmm? Could it be her?"

Shiji remembered that Xiyue killed the Nine-clawed Golden Crow clan and took a portion of their blood to transform his own body and soul, ultimately giving him endless magic power and vitality.

Shiji wondered in her heart, could it be that the woman with amazing strength has returned? (End of this chapter)
