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

Shiji's words were not groundless. The Ghost Queen had been captured by her master. He only needed to find the master and persuade him to take the Ghost Queen away, and the Ghost Queen would surely die. And Shiji's goal was to seize the magic weapon from the Ghost Queen - the Ghost Sword.

If he could obtain this sword, Shiji's strength would surely be raised to a higher level.

"Oh?" Ghost Emperor sneered, "If we can really get the Ghostly Sword, this matter is not impossible to discuss. But I am very curious, what convinced me to agree to your request? Do you think I am a three-year-old child who will easily believe your nonsense?"

The tone of Emperor Guiwu was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Shiji looked calm, looked directly into the eyes of Emperor Guiwu, and said slowly: "Just because I am Shiji. All this is because I am Shiji. My name is enough to explain everything."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Guiwu was slightly stunned. He carefully looked at Shiji for a few times, and gradually showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He murmured to himself: "Could it be... could it really be you?"

"Haha, it's you! I didn't expect that the senior would still remember a small character like me, Shiji. I feel really honored!" Shiji laughed loudly with excitement flashing in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that Emperor Guiwu must have some impression of him, otherwise how could he remember his inconspicuous name?
However, at this moment, Emperor Guiwu seemed to suddenly remember something, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "So you are the guy who colluded with the demons in the Shenhuang Land and intended to rebel! You deserve to die, I will never show mercy today, capture him for me!"

Following the order given by Emperor Guiwu, countless cultivators suddenly rushed over from all directions and surrounded Shiji.

"How dare you! How dare you disobey the order of Lord Ghost King!" The ghost guards glared at them and scolded them harshly.

"You are the ones who are really presumptuous! We are only following the orders of the Ghost King. You dogs dare to openly disobey. This is simply an unforgivable crime! Today, you all must die!"

Before he finished speaking, a ghost guard pointed at Emperor Guiwu's nose and started to curse. This ghost guard was a capable general under Emperor Guiwu, who was usually arrogant and domineering, and was even more unscrupulous at this moment.

Emperor Guiwu was already hot-tempered, and was immediately furious when he was insulted by this ghost guard. He yelled, "You bastard, you dare to insult me, you are courting death!"

After saying that, the Ghost Warrior Emperor flashed and instantly appeared beside the ghost guard, punching him. With a deafening bang, the ghost guard flew out like a kite with a broken string, spurting blood from his mouth and fainting on the spot.

Seeing this, the other ghost guards changed their faces and rushed to the Ghost Warrior Emperor, trying to save him. However, the Ghost Warrior Emperor was merciless and slapped out with one palm, instantly killing all the ghost guards. Then, he moved and left the mountain range directly.

Shiji looked at the unconscious ghost guard and smiled coldly: "Since you are unwilling to submit to me, I can only send you on your way and let you reincarnate."

After saying that, he walked towards the unconscious ghost guard.

At this moment, the ghostly man suddenly spoke: "Little brother, please show mercy! This guy is my confidant. If you kill him, the hatred between you and me will really be irreconcilable."

Upon hearing this, Shiji raised a playful smile and said, "Oh? You are a magnanimous person, but I am not. A dog like this dares to insult me. If I forgive him, wouldn't I be a coward? Besides, he is not worth you paying so much for him."

The ghostly man was so angry that his face turned blue and he almost vomited blood: "So what do you want?"

Shi Ji said calmly: "It's very simple, hand over the Ghost Queen."

The ghostly man was stunned: "What exactly do you want to do to her?"

Shiji looked directly into the eyes of the ghostly man: "I need her soul fire to refine a corpse. Of course, I know you also need soul fire to restore your cultivation. Moreover, I can see that your cultivation has not yet fully recovered."

The ghostly man had a gloomy face, but he did not refute Shiji's words. Indeed, although he had entered the holy realm, he still had a long way to go before becoming a true saint. Moreover, he had not been practicing for a long time.

"If you want to get the Soul Fire of the Ghost Queen, you must do me a favor first. Only then will I give the Soul Fire to you." The ghost man said gritting his teeth.

Shiji smiled slightly: "Deal. But we have to sign a contract first."

The ghost man had no choice but to sign a contract with Shiji. The contract stipulated that the two of them would refine the soul fire of the ghost queen together. If the refining was successful, the ghost man would get the soul fire in the ghost queen's body; if the refining failed, the ghost man would disappear forever.

After signing the contract, the ghostly man dripped his blood into Shiji's mind. Shiji felt a trance in his mind, and then a black energy ball appeared. The ghostly man disappeared from his mind.

"The Ghost Queen... the deputy chief of the Ghost King Palace, is probably even more powerful than the Ghost Man." Shi Ji muttered in a low voice, and then used the art of divination to deduce.

The deduction result made Shiji gasp. The cultivation of the Ghost Queen had actually reached the fourth level of the Holy Realm! The Ghost Man was just a junior who had just entered the Holy Realm. The gap in strength between the two was too big.

What surprised Shiji even more was that the Ghost Queen actually possessed a holy weapon! You know, a holy weapon is an extremely rare treasure!

Shiji secretly speculated in her heart that the Ghost Queen must have many holy weapons in her possession, otherwise, how could she have cut off the ghost man's right arm with just one move.

He picked up the storage ring left behind by the ghost guard, put it in his bag, and then continued to move forward. Soon he found the cave where the ghost man lived.

Stepping into the cave, Shiji could not help but marvel at the huge size of the cave, covering an area of ​​1,000 mu. The cave was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, which were dazzling.

Not only that, the cave is also filled with various precious items such as elixirs, magic weapons, and fairy fruits.

Shiji's eyes swept across the several paintings hanging on the wall, each of which depicted a beautiful woman with stunning looks and full of youth.

Seeing this, Shiji couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering in her heart, what exactly does this ghostly man want to do? What is his purpose?
Shiji did not rashly disturb the ghostly man, but found a quiet place, sat cross-legged, and began to practice. He had already swallowed the Holy Infant, and his injuries had recovered almost completely. Now was a good time to try to activate some of his innate secret skills.

After an unknown amount of time, the ghostly man slowly walked out of a stone chamber. His left arm was intact, and his right arm had grown a new section, but his face was terribly gloomy, and it was obvious that he was filled with great anger.

Seeing that Shiji was still there, the ghostly man snorted coldly and was about to leave, as if he was ignoring Shiji and was unwilling to pay any more attention to her.

However, shortly after the ghostly man stepped out of the cave, a figure in black quietly appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Shiji's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this, and his face instantly darkened. This person was none other than the blood-robed man.

The ghostly man looked at the newcomer and asked in a deep voice, "Blood Robe, why are you here?"

The blood-stained robe man replied, "My master ordered me to come and tell you that he has left the Ghost King Realm and is on his way back to the Ghost Realm. You don't need to worry. When he arrives in the Ghost Realm, he will go to the Ghost Island to look for you. Moreover, I have brought you an important message."

"News?" The ghostly man was slightly stunned, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, this news is extremely important to the master, you must listen carefully!"

The blood-stained robe man continued, "The reason why the master decided to return to the ghost world is because he discovered an ancient relic. According to the master's speculation, there may be a huge opportunity hidden in the relic. The master intends to go and explore it to seek good fortune."

"You mean, the master intends to sacrifice that ancient ruins to me?" Hearing this, the ghostly man looked at the blood-robed man in surprise. "That's right, this is what the master told me personally. Therefore, I believe you will be very excited about this news."

After hearing the explanation of the blood-robed man, the ghostly man could not help but feel shocked. If he could obtain the ancient ruins, he would be able to break through to the fifth level of the Holy Realm, and even have the hope of breaking through to the sixth or seventh level of the Holy Realm. This would undoubtedly be a great event that would change his fate. Once successful, his potential would be limitless.

So, the ghostly man immediately stated: "Go back and tell your master that this matter will be handled by me. I will do my best to help him seize the ancient ruins."

"Very good, I will take you into the ruins then."

After saying this, the man in the blood-stained robe turned and left.

The ghostly man's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and he was also looking forward to stepping into the ancient ruins as soon as possible to explore.

In terms of strength, the ghost man is not as good as the blood-robed man, but he is also a leader on the ghost island. He firmly believes that once he enters the ruins, his strength will be able to reach a higher level.

Shiji stepped into the magnificent palace again, and wherever he looked, he could see a huge stone coffin standing there. This stone coffin was soaring into the sky, hundreds of feet high.

Shiji secretly speculated in his heart that since the ghostly man's parents were buried here, then there must be an extraordinary person buried in this sarcophagus.

He walked slowly to the sarcophagus, reached out and touched it gently, only to feel that the outer wall of the sarcophagus was as hard as iron and extremely cold.

Shiji was curious and wanted to knock on the sarcophagus to find out what secrets were hidden inside. However, as soon as his palm touched the sarcophagus, a bone-chilling breath rushed over him, going straight to the depths of his soul.

"What a strong cold air!" Shiji was shocked and quickly activated the Dragon Elephant Prison Power to resist the cold air that was corroding his soul.

He quickly formed a protective shield around his body, and this time, the cold air could no longer penetrate his body. However, the cold air still made his body tremble slightly.

Shiji was shocked. The coldness in the sarcophagus was so strong that it was unbelievable.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a series of strong fluctuations coming from the sarcophagus. The fluctuations were so terrifying, as if something was about to wake up.

Shiji thought to himself that there must be a living being in this sarcophagus, but for some reason, that living being had fallen into a deep sleep and was unwilling to wake up.

Shiji was full of doubts and wondered in his heart: Could it be that what was sealed in the sarcophagus was not a living creature, but a cold corpse?

While he was thinking, a bright pearl suddenly flew out of the sarcophagus, hovered above Shiji's head, and shed rays of light.

He lightly scanned it with his mind, and his pupils suddenly contracted - the bead was surrounded by a biting chill that made people afraid to approach.

Isn’t this the bead of good fortune that the ghostly man mentioned?

This is a rare natural treasure from the Ghost Island, carefully refined by the powerful ghosts. It contains infinite energy of creation and can help cultivators improve their cultivation.

Although the ghostly man had already entered the third level of the holy realm, with the help of this pearl, his cultivation level soared like a hot knife through butter.

In the past, he was just an ordinary member of the third level of the Holy Realm, but now he has firmly sat on the throne of the fourth level of the Holy Realm.

All of this is undoubtedly the work of the Creation Pearl.

Who wouldn't covet such a heaven-defying thing?
"The natural treasures on the ghost island are far beyond my imagination!" Shiji sighed in his heart and had a deeper understanding of the treasures of this world.

He took a deep breath, feeling the increasingly powerful aura in the sarcophagus, and an inexplicable expectation surged in his heart.

If the being in the sarcophagus could really wake up, perhaps the true value of the Creation Pearl could be fully revealed.

Thinking of this, Shiji curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile, and was not in a hurry to put the pearl in his pocket.

He already knew the location of this place, so if he wanted to return in the future, it would be just a piece of cake.

So he sat cross-legged on the sarcophagus, continuing to absorb the vital energy of the surrounding heaven and earth and practicing with all his heart.

Time flies, and three thousand years have passed in a flash.

On this day, Shiji's eyes suddenly opened, with a gleam of light in them. His cultivation had quietly broken through to the peak of the ninth level of the Saint Realm.

This sudden breakthrough made Shiji overjoyed.

The ninth level of the Holy Realm is the pinnacle of his current cultivation.

The improvement in his cultivation made him feel very happy, because it meant that he was one step closer to completing those unfinished tasks.

He stood up and looked around, and saw that the mountain range was endless and boundless, like a paradise on earth.

However, it is really sad that such a paradise was turned into a tomb.

Thinking of the owner of the ghost island, Shiji couldn't help but frown.

Who is this mysterious person? To be admired by people all over the island, his strength and background must be extraordinary.

What kind of secrets are hidden on the haunted island?
All this made Shiji extremely curious.

He secretly planned to find the tomb of the owner of the ghost island and find out the truth.

However, how easy is it to find that tomb?
Shiji sighed softly and looked towards the vast sea of ​​snow in the distance.

There, perhaps at the other end of the mountains, was also the destination of his trip.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but according to the memories left by the owner of the ghost island, the destination should not be far away. (End of this chapter)
