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

The demon was unharmed; instead, it opened its massive mouth.

It took a bite out of the rock.

With a snap, half of Shi Ji's arm was bitten off by the demon.

"Ah!" Shi Ji cried out in pain. After the demon bit off half of her arm, it bit at the other half, trying to tear both of her arms off.

With a solemn expression, Shi Ji threw the remaining half of the arm directly into the demon's mouth.

The arm exploded.

But the demon did not stop its attack; it opened its mouth and bit at Shiji's head again.

Shi Ji summoned the Emperor Armor, which formed a defensive shield. The demon bit into the Emperor Armor, making muffled thuds.

The demons couldn't even bite through the Emperor's Armor; instead, they were blasted away. Shi Ji's face turned pale. These demonic creatures were practically impervious to blades and spears; even the Emperor's Armor couldn't harm them.

Shi Ji dared not linger and get entangled with these demons.

She rushed off into the distance.

But those demons were faster.

In the blink of an eye, the demon had rushed in front of Shi Ji.

The leading demon roared.

Then they sprayed out black venom.

This black venom is highly corrosive.

Once contaminated, the body will be instantly corroded.

Shi Ji pushed her speed to the limit.

Avoid the black venom.

Shi Ji rushed to the edge of Xuan Gui Tan, intending to jump into the pool and use the icy energy of Xuan Gui Tan to deal with the demons.

Seeing that Shi Ji was about to jump into the Xuan Gui Pool, the flock of crows let out angry cries.

Crows swooped down towards the rocky islet.

Shi Ji sneered and unleashed the Black Flame Burning Technique, a supreme immortal-level skill.

Black flames enveloped the crows, and the crows that touched the flames immediately let out shrill cries.

Immediately, the crows were burned to death by the black flames summoned by Shi Ji.

After the crows died, they transformed into black runes that floated in the void.

"Is that a curse mark?"

Shi Ji was surprised, not expecting this outcome.

Cursed runes are the most evil and malevolent things born from heaven and earth.

This curse mark is extremely powerful and can influence a person's destiny.

Shi Ji quickly grabbed the black runes.

The cries of the crows continued unabated as they surrounded the rocky islet from all directions.

They wanted to tear Shi Ji apart.

Unfortunately, no matter how they attacked, they could not break through the imperial armor on Shi Ji's body.

Shi Ji then took out the Black Dragon Sword and slashed at the surrounding demons.

"Clang, clang, clang." One after another, demonic weapons struck the Black Dragon Sword, producing a series of violent impacts.

Although the Black Dragon Sword is of a very high grade, it is almost impossible to kill these demons with it.

Shi Ji quickly jumped into the Xuan Turtle Pool.

There was a pop.

Shiji entered Xuan Gui Tan.

The demons followed suit and jumped into the pool.

These creatures truly live up to their reputation as demons from the bottom of Xuan Turtle Pool. Once inside, they adapt to the pool's environment and swim at lightning speed.

A group of demons chased after the Black Tortoise Pool, darting across the bottom and pursuing Shi Ji.

"What terrifying creatures! Luckily, I didn't try to withstand their attacks head-on! Otherwise, I would have been dead for sure!"

Shi Ji said with lingering fear, the battle just now had indeed left her feeling terrified.

Shiji continued to dive deeper.

She hoped to be as far away from Xuan Gui Tan as possible.

This area seems to be subject to some kind of special binding force.

Even though Shi Ji's cultivation level was extremely high.

It is still difficult to break free from the constraints of Xuan Gui Tan.

"Huh, a black tortoise egg? Could it be the legendary black tortoise egg?"

Shi Ji heard a soft murmur.

She knew that someone must be there.

The rocky islet flew away swiftly.

Soon, Shiji saw a stone tablet with three characters written on it, characters she recognized.

"Holy Spirit Stone!"

Shi Ji was overjoyed; this was truly a rare treasure.

The Holy Spirit Stone is a treasure coveted by alchemists.

Shi Ji guessed that this place must be a sacred stone left behind by a powerful figure after his fall, or perhaps a treasure left behind by that powerful figure in the past.

The Holy Spirit Stone contains immense magical power that can help cultivators temper their physical bodies.

And here.

Holy Spirit Stones can not only help people temper their physical bodies, but can even modify a cultivator's bloodline, making the cultivator stronger.

In the past, Shi Ji had read records about the Holy Spirit Stone in the Temple of All Races; it was an extremely rare material…

If it weren't for the extreme scarcity of Holy Spirit Stones, a fierce battle would likely have already erupted among the major powers in the starry world for them.

The fact that a sacred stone is hidden here is enough to prove how extraordinary the value of this place is.

The energy contained within this Holy Spirit Stone is exceptionally powerful; however, Shi Ji can no longer draw upon its energy.

Shi Ji attempted to use the Devouring Martial Soul technique to absorb the immense energy within the Holy Spirit Stone.

He sensed that the Holy Spirit Stone was releasing a strong repulsive energy.

The Holy Spirit Stone contains an incredibly powerful repulsive force, making it impossible for Shi Ji to absorb its energy.

If I could take the Holy Spirit Stone with me and seal it in my storage ring, then I could deal with the Holy Spirit Stone later after I break through to the next level.

I can get through this period of time peacefully.

Thinking of this, Shi Ji's face showed excitement. He used the Heaven-Mending Technique to begin absorbing the essence of these Holy Spirit Stones.

The essence contained within the Holy Spirit Stone was indeed an extremely pure magical power, which surged into Shi Ji's body.

This caused Shi Ji's body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

Shi Ji began to circulate the Nine Demon Diagram technique to absorb this energy.

This time, the absorption of energy did not encounter any disaster.

Shi Ji felt her magical power gradually increasing.

“It really works.” Shi Ji’s face was full of excitement.

His cultivation level was rapidly improving, and Shi Ji discovered that while absorbing the magic power inside the Holy Spirit Stone, a mysterious power was also flowing into his body.

This mysterious power seemed to be cleansing his body.

This allowed Shiji to experience a completely new transformation.

This made Shiji quite happy.

Shi Ji closed her eyes, trying to understand what that mysterious power was.

That mysterious power is too ethereal to be clearly perceived at the moment.

Shi Ji could only patiently sense that mysterious power.

Shi Ji was diving in the Xuan Gui Tan (Black Turtle Pool) when he saw many ancient buildings.

"Could those buildings be remnants left behind by that powerful figure from the past?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

He quickened his pace toward the palaces.

Those palaces were all in ruins and had been severely eroded by time.

Soon Shiji arrived outside a dilapidated palace, where two huge sculptures stood in front of the palace gate.

The two sculptures are a cow and a sheep, respectively.

The cow was so lifelike, it seemed almost alive. The sheep had wings, with two wings growing from its back.

"No wonder it's called the Golden Alpaca... It turns out it's a sacred golden beast."

Shi Ji raised his eyebrows slightly; he understood what the Golden Sacred Beast was all about.

The Golden Sacred Beast, as its name suggests, is a sacred and powerful divine beast.

Sacred beasts are synonymous with nobility and power.

Moreover, the Golden Sacred Beast's bloodline is exceptionally powerful. If it can grow up, its strength will be immeasurable.

However, golden sacred beasts are extremely rare. Even across all the heavens and myriad realms, the probability of finding a golden sacred beast is extremely low.

For ordinary cultivators, a golden sacred beast is a top-tier existence.

Shi Ji pushed open the door to the dilapidated stone chamber, his gaze settling on a box.

The lid of the box was open, and a Holy Stone lay quietly inside.

Shi Ji muttered to herself, "Those human cultivators are waging a great battle for the Holy Spirit Stone, it seems they're all fighting for this Holy Spirit Stone."

Shi Ji cautiously approached the Holy Spirit Stone, then reached out and touched it, discovering that the Holy Spirit Stone was unusually warm and emanated wave after wave of powerful energy from within.

Upon sensing those powerful waves of energy, Shi Ji's face immediately showed an extremely shocked expression.

The energy inside that Holy Spirit Stone is truly astonishing!
It's absolutely appalling.

However, Shi Ji knew the truth in her heart.

These powerful energies belong to oneself.

These energies are entirely within our own capabilities to utilize.

"Let's absorb this Holy Spirit Stone first."

Shi Ji squinted and said, then opened his mouth and bit at the Holy Spirit Stone.

He bit down on the Holy Spirit Stone and then tore at it several times.

The Holy Spirit Stone was actually chewed up by Shi Ji and then swallowed.

This is, after all, the Holy Spirit Stone.

Moreover, it contains incredibly powerful energy.

But Shi Ji swallowed it whole.

This scene startled Shi Ji, who was completely bewildered.

"Oh dear, is the Holy Spirit Stone so fragile? It crumbled in one bite?"

Shi Ji muttered to himself in frustration, having originally thought that the Holy Spirit Stone's defenses were quite formidable.

I never expected it to be bitten so easily.

Although the Holy Spirit Stone was bitten and shattered by Shi Ji, the energy flowing from the Holy Spirit Stone continued to pour into Shi Ji's body.

In the end, Shi Ji refined all the energy.

He felt that his realm had stabilized at the peak of the third level of the Emperor Realm.

"Very good, very good." Shi Ji grinned...

The effects of the Holy Spirit Stone far exceeded Shi Ji's expectations. Shi Ji estimated that the effects of the Holy Spirit Stone were definitely much better than the energy condensed from the Holy Spirit Stone mother body.

This made Shi Ji feel that obtaining the Holy Spirit Stone was like receiving a heaven-defying opportunity.

Suddenly, Shi Ji's pupils contracted sharply as he realized that the Holy Spirit Stone Mother was rapidly recovering.

"Could it be that the Holy Spirit Stone's function is not simply to allow cultivators to enter a state of enlightenment?"

Shi Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The Holy Spirit Stone is indeed very peculiar; its effects are absolutely beyond imagination.

Shi Ji continued to observe the Holy Spirit Stone Mother.

The Holy Spirit Stone Mother's recovery speed became even more terrifying.

Soon, the Holy Spirit Stone Mother was fully restored.

Shi Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, because the effect of the Holy Spirit Stone was not just that it could give cultivators sudden enlightenment; it could also help them recover from injuries quickly.

He now has five cracks on his body, which are crisscrossed and shocking to behold.

Holy Spirit Stone can quickly heal these cracks.

The Holy Stone can also help injuries heal quickly.

That's incredibly incredible.

Shi Ji swallowed the Holy Spirit Stone, then sat down cross-legged again and began to comprehend the Holy Spirit Instructions recorded within the Holy Spirit Stone.

The Holy Spirit Stone's Holy Spirit Instructions are divided into six volumes.

After Shi Ji finished comprehending the second volume, she had already thoroughly understood the third and fourth volumes.

Volumes 5 and 6 can only be fully mastered after comprehending Volume 8.

As expected of the Holy Spirit Stone, it is truly extraordinary.

Not long after Shi Ji mastered the Holy Spirit Technique, he began to experience waves of exhaustion.

It was a feeling of exhaustion.

The Holy Spirit Stone consumes far too much energy.

Shi Ji rushed out of the valley and found a big tree by the river, then hid behind it.

Shi Ji took out the pill, swallowed one, and began refining it.

It took him three whole days to fully recover.

"We really hit the jackpot this time." Shi Ji's face was full of joy.

The Holy Spirit Stone Mother has not yet awakened. If the Mother awakens, it may be able to help Shi Ji condense the Holy Spirit Body.

Moreover, once the body of the Holy Spirit is successfully condensed, it can give birth to other treasures of the Holy Spirit race.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the mother awakens.

Shi Ji then returned to the stone chamber.

He tried to comprehend the seventh, eighth, and ninth volumes of the Holy Spirit Manual, but found that he could not understand any of the contents at all.

The seventh and eighth volumes of the Holy Spirit Manual do not impose any restrictions on the cultivator's cultivation level.

But Volume 9 is different.

One must break through to the Quasi-Immortal realm to comprehend the Ninth Volume.

"Alas, it seems that the Holy Spirit Technique cannot be broken through in the short term!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly. The Holy Spirit Technique was powerful enough, but it was still far from being able to comprehend the ninth volume.

However, Shi Ji was not discouraged. Although she could not comprehend the ninth volume of the Holy Spirit Manual.

However, the Holy Spirit Technique greatly benefited Shiji.

Moreover, Shi Ji's cultivation level has been stagnant at the Emperor level for some time now.

If I could use this Holy Spirit Stone to break through to the Quasi-Immortal realm, that would be wonderful.

In the days that followed, Shiji focused on consolidating her skills.

He took out pieces of immortal stones, each containing pure and immense energy.

The value of the fairy stone is also quite high.

A magic stone the size of a fist is often worth tens of billions of dollars.

Shi Ji incorporated all these immortal stones into her physical body.

As the energy of the immortal stone merged into her body, Shi Ji discovered that her body seemed to be undergoing a transformation.

Everything seemed to have undergone tremendous changes. The process was quite mysterious. Shi Ji felt his physical body becoming stronger, and he could clearly perceive the improvement in every inch of his body.

Shi Ji even felt that her skin had become tougher.

Even her breathing created a series of vibrations in the air, as if the air was breathing along with Shiji.

Shi Ji opened her eyes.

At this moment.

His eyes were like the stars and the sea.

He raised his right foot and gently stepped on the ground; the vibrations transmitted through the ground seemed capable of annihilating all worlds.

This guy's kick was so powerful that it reached such a terrifying level, which shows how profound Shi Ji's cultivation has become.

Shi Ji's expression was calm. Only when facing enemies would Shi Ji show such a cold expression, but when facing others, Shi Ji always had a bright smile on her face.

"Thank you all for being there for me all these years!"

Shi Ji looked at the thirty-six Yin-Yang Realm ghosts lying on the ground and said.

He took out thirty-six Holy Spirit Stones and placed them on the ground, saying, "These Holy Spirit Stones are what I dug out of the Forbidden Zone of Death. Now I'm distributing them to you all! I hope you can break through to the Quasi-Immortal realm soon!" (End of Chapter)
