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

Shi Ji tried to deduce the situation in the valley, but unfortunately, she was unable to calculate anything.

This surprised Shi Ji quite a bit, because the array set up here was definitely not weak, and there should also be some kind of powerful binding array pattern here.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to prevent the divine sense from probing.

Shi Ji strode into the valley.

He moved with incredible speed, almost like a ghost, as he swept into the valley.

The valley was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Shi Ji conjured a lantern, which hovered above her head, emitting a dim yellow flame that illuminated the surrounding void.

The dim yellow flames made the surroundings appear even more gloomy and eerie.

Suddenly, a deep, hoarse voice echoed through the valley.

Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed.

It seems that a creature is lurking here, but it didn't reveal any trace of its presence just now.

The sheer power of this being terrified even Shi Ji.

Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes opened and stared at Shi Ji.

"Who are you? Why don't you show yourself?" Shi Ji asked indifferently.

"Kid, you've got some nerve! You dared to come in alone. In that case, I'll send you to your death."

A sinister voice came from the darkness.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying wave surged from the darkness.

Shi Ji quickly activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique, and the magical power within her body immediately began to circulate wildly.

The Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique is hailed as one of the most powerful techniques in the world.

Shi Ji immediately used the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique to condense a powerful defensive light shield, protecting herself completely.

Then, in the next instant.

That terrifying blow slammed into the defensive light shield that Shi Ji had conjured.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, the sound of bones breaking.

The defensive light shield shattered instantly.

Shi Ji's chest caved in, and she spit out a mouthful of blood as she rolled backward.

Before he could even stand up straight, Shi Ji coughed up another mouthful of blood.

That mysterious creature was far too powerful; even when Shi Ji used the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique, she was still no match for it.

Shi Ji felt a sharp pain surge through him, and he knew that his injuries were extremely serious.

They were simply no match for that mysterious being.

He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them. Shi Ji gritted her teeth, stood up, and then leaped into the air, soaring into the sky.

This was his only chance to survive, and even though the risk of death was extremely high, he absolutely could not sit idly by and wait for his demise.

at this time.

The mysterious creature also took to the air and pounced towards Shi Ji.

This creature has transformed; it is no longer in beast form, but in human form.

Shi Ji frowned, puzzled. How could this guy suddenly know how to fly?
Not long ago, it clearly didn't know this technique.

"Hehehehe, kid, you're dead today!"

The mysterious creature cackled and slashed down at Shi Ji with a palm strike.

Shi Ji let out a cold shout, clenched her right hand into a fist, and threw a punch at the mysterious creature.

The two collided, and Shi Ji was immediately blasted away. The mysterious creature's realm was far superior to his, and after Shi Ji was blasted away, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Not only was his physical body severely damaged, but his primordial spirit also suffered a backlash, making his injuries even more severe.

"Boy, go to hell!"

The mysterious creature charged at Shi Ji again, intending to kill her while she was injured.

Shi Ji hurriedly opened the Nine Provinces Cauldron and collected the corpses that were suppressed inside.

He sneered and said, "You can't possibly eat these corpses!"

The mysterious creature sneered, opened its mouth, and spat out a jet-black vortex.

The vortex expanded rapidly, enveloping the rocky islet.

Upon seeing the black hole spewed out by the mysterious creature, Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

The black hole gave him an unusually malevolent feeling, as if it contained endless destructive power.

Moreover, the black hole emitted extremely terrifying fluctuations.

"Die!" The mysterious creature's eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

Clearly, it hates Shiji to the core and wants to completely destroy Shiji and devour everything it has.

"I'll see if you really have the ability to destroy me!"

Shi Ji coldly stared at the mysterious creature.

He then swung his stone sword, unleashing three thousand six hundred incredibly powerful sword energies.

Each sword aura was like a roaring river.

The three thousand six hundred sword energies collided with the black hole instantly.

With a tearing sound, Shi Ji's attack was shattered.

Shi Ji was greatly alarmed.

This mysterious creature is truly too extraordinary.

The mysterious creature snorted coldly.

They then continued their journey towards Shiji.

Shi Ji fled deeper into the mountains, his goal being the mountain peak. Once he reached the peak, he hoped to escape the valley.

However, the mysterious creature was faster and caught up in an instant, slapping at the rock with its claw.

With a deafening, violent collision, Shi Ji's body slammed directly against the mountainside and then crashed to the ground.

Shi Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You lowly ant, kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might spare your life. If you don't agree, today will be your end!"

The mysterious creature grinned maliciously as it spoke.

Shi Ji got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

He sneered and said, "I've always been unyielding; why would I kneel down and beg for mercy from you?"

"You don't know what's good for you, you're just waiting to die!"

The mysterious creature sneered and then struck Shi Ji with its palm.

Just as the palm was about to strike Shi Ji, the iron chains on Shi Ji's wrist rattled, locking the mysterious creature's neck.

The iron chain jerked suddenly.

Suddenly, the mysterious creature was pulled and plummeted towards the mountain peak.

The mysterious creature screamed in agony.

Shi Ji strode forward, reached out and grabbed the mysterious creature, then threw it into the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

"That old ghost has finally been refined!"

Little Stone burst into excited laughter.

Shi Ji said, "Let's find a secluded place to hide and recover from our injuries!"

After searching for half a day, the two finally found a huge mountain belly and built a simple secret room inside it.

After entering the secret chamber, the two began to heal their injuries. Shi Ji summoned the Chaos Ancient Lamp, and a blazing flame rose up to help him recover.

When Shi Ji opened his eyes, he found a man inside the Nine Provinces Cauldron. The man was surrounded by intense demonic energy and tightly enveloped by the flames of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, suffering from the scorching heat of the flames.

Upon seeing this guy, Shi Ji's face twitched slightly.

This guy's identity is extraordinary; he's clearly an extremely terrifying being, and judging by the appearance, this is his true form.

Shi Ji couldn't help but wonder, just who is this guy?

Is he the ruler of the Immortal Realm?

Or perhaps he is a terrifyingly powerful expert at the level of an Immortal Emperor?
These facts are now impossible to verify.

Because this guy has been dead for countless years.

Shi Ji asked, "Who exactly are you? Why have you come to the Immortal Realm?"

"Haven't you heard the saying that all things have a spirit? You can call me the spirit of all living things!" said the mysterious being.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji immediately showed an extremely surprised expression. All things have a spirit?
Is this some kind of special creature?

"Why are you here? Aren't you sealed away?" Shi Ji asked in confusion.

It's not surprising that all things possess a spirit. Just like the demon race, the witch race, and the ghost race.

These beings were conceived at the very beginning of the universe and have an extremely long lifespan.

Therefore, such creatures are often incredibly terrifying beings.

But Shi Ji still found it hard to believe that the restrictions left by the Lord of the Immortal Realm could actually trap a terrifying being at the level of an Immortal Emperor.

"Don't refuse a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you why I’m here,” Shi Ji said.

All living things gave a disdainful snort, and then a strange power surged out, causing Shi Ji to lose consciousness and faint.

When Shi Ji awoke, he found himself in another void.

He tried to connect with the Nine Provinces Cauldron within his body, but he was unable to do so.

The Nine Cauldrons also seemed to have lost their ability to respond.

This caused Shi Ji's face to darken instantly.

It seems that the mysterious creature has succeeded and brought me here.

"What should I do now? Am I just supposed to let him do whatever he wants?" Shi Ji couldn't help but ponder.

“I remember that mysterious being once said that his name was Destiny.”

Suddenly, Little Stone's voice came.

Shi Ji frowned slightly; he had never heard of this name before.

"Destiny is guiding something, and perhaps only where destiny points can unravel all these mysteries!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shitou's words, Shiji's spirits lifted.

Although it's unclear exactly where the place Little Stone was referring to was.

But Shiji still decided to go to that place to find out.

The rocky islet flew out from the mountain's belly.

He used his Heaven-Mending Technique to traverse the void and fly towards the distance.

He flew for seven or eight days before finally stopping beside a swamp deep in the mountains.

The place was filled with a sinister and terrifying atmosphere, with swirling fog all around.

The swamp area is teeming with venomous snakes and insects.

A gust of wind blew by, and the venomous snakes and insects disappeared into the swamp without a trace.

"That swamp must be extremely dangerous!"

Shi Ji nodded.

He did not rush in, but instead sat down cross-legged.

Shi Ji unleashed his domineering dragon and elephant aura.

A wisp of golden light emanated from his skin, and the domineering aura of the dragon and elephant merged with the power of the water and lightning laws within Shi Ji's body.

These laws then flowed continuously into Shiji's dantian.

Within Shi Ji's dantian, the Water Spirit Pearl and Thunder Spirit Pearl absorbed the golden laws formed by the Dragon Elephant's domineering aura, causing the prototype of the Five-Layer Dragon Elephant Arm to condense within Shi Ji's dantian.

Shi Ji felt the changes in the Dragon Elephant Arm within her body and couldn't help but show a look of joy.

The outline of the Dragon-Elephant Arm is becoming clearer, and its power will naturally become more and more terrifying.

"Hey, what is this?"

Suddenly, Shi Ji's face showed an expression of extreme surprise.

He saw a green bamboo.

Shi Ji carefully observed the green bamboo and was surprised to discover...

The bamboo stalk was entirely purplish-red.

It is rooted in the mud, yet it is full of vitality and even exudes a faint life force.

"Could it have been planted here by some powerful figure?"

Shi Ji murmured to herself, deeply shocked.

This place is absolutely perfect for growing plants.

This place is like a treasure trove; if all sorts of miraculous herbs were planted here...

The effects of those magical medicines will definitely be greatly enhanced.

However, only extremely powerful cultivators can plant immortal herbs; otherwise, it is impossible to complete the planting.

The green bamboo in this swamp is definitely an extraordinary existence.

This green bamboo is definitely more than just an ordinary treasure.

Shi Ji crept deeper into the swamp and soon spotted the mysterious green bamboo.

That mysterious green bamboo grew in a very peculiar way.

First, it is covered with barbs.

These barbs gleamed with a cold, eerie green light.

It sends chills down one's spine just by looking at it.

"Such intense curse power!"

When Shi Ji saw the barbs, his expression changed drastically. He sensed that these barbs contained an extremely terrifying curse power.

This curse's power is absolutely beyond imagination.

A look of extreme horror appeared on Shi Ji's face.

The power of curses is one of the most evil and bizarre forces in the world.

This power is enough to destroy any strongman.

The power of curses is not omnipotent.

Even the weakest curse power has the potential to destroy everything in the world.

The power of curses is quite similar to the power of death.

Moreover, the power of death is even more malevolent.

The power of death symbolizes destruction.

But the power of the curse represents new life.

The power of curses is one of the most mysterious and ancient powers in all the heavens and the myriad realms, and this is the first time that Shi Ji has witnessed it firsthand.

Shi Ji quickly darted toward the green bamboo, intending to get closer and explore its secrets.

Just then, a giant black python suddenly sprang out of the swamp, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji sneered and raised her hand to strike the giant python.

With a loud crash, the giant python was sent flying by Shi Ji's palm, its body slamming hard against the shore before falling into the swamp.

Shi Ji rushed into the swamp and grabbed the giant python's tail.

With a "crack, crack," the giant python's tail was snapped off by Shi Ji.

Then, Shi Ji grabbed the giant python's head and pulled hard.

With a "plop," the giant python was torn apart alive by Shi Ji, and blood splattered everywhere.

Shi Ji continued walking forward, very slowly.

Because this place is too dangerous, a slight mistake could lead to disaster.

Half an hour later, Shi Ji killed three poisonous scorpions, two giant wolves, and four crocodiles...

Shi Ji's harvest was quite substantial; in addition to the corpses of the three demonic beasts, she also obtained a piece of crystal-clear scale armor.

A powerful life force swirled around that scale.

That boundless life force surged like a vast ocean.

The essence of life is the most precious energy in the world, containing endless life force.

"Could these be scales shed by a dragon?" Shi Ji muttered to herself. If they were scales shed by a dragon, they would be worth a lot of money.

Dragon scales are as hard as iron, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities, and can be refined into magical artifacts.

During battle, he dons a powerful suit of armor.

Defense capabilities will definitely be greatly enhanced.

Although Shi Ji's physical body is strong, if she had a defensive magic weapon, her defensive power would definitely be enhanced. At that time, she would be able to remain unharmed even if she encountered an attack from an Emperor-level powerhouse.

But it’s normal to think about it.

The dragon race is recognized as one of the top races in the vast universe, and its body is almost invincible.

Every inch of flesh and blood on a dragon's body is a powerful weapon.

The scales shed by such a race are naturally extremely precious. (End of Chapter)
