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

This journey to the battlefield between immortals and demons is truly fraught with peril.

Shi Ji even doubted whether she could leave this place alive. Although she had not perished at the hands of those terrible creatures, she had almost lost her life, which was truly frustrating.

"Boy, you dare to slaughter the dragon race! You deserve to die a thousand deaths! Today you will become our meal!"

A dragon-like creature grinned maliciously, its eyes flashing with a chilling light. It opened its mouth and spewed forth bursts of flames, aiming to incinerate the rock.

Shi Ji shouted coldly, summoning her stone sword and unleashing a dazzling sword light.

With a deafening crash, the dragon was sent flying.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His body then exploded and turned to ashes.

Shi Ji rushed towards the exit.

But the other dragons wouldn't let him escape.

The dragons swarmed out and attacked.

Dragon claws formed from strands of dragon breath slammed into Shi Ji's body.

Yet they didn't harm him in the slightest. Now that Shi Ji's strength has greatly increased, how could these dragons possibly hurt her?

Shi Ji's gaze turned icy as she once again unleashed the power of Ragnarok, channeling her immense magical energy into the stone sword.

In an instant, the stone sword unleashed a destructive shockwave.

It seemed as if an even more terrifying existence was being conceived within the sword, and the sword energy condensed into a huge phantom stone sword.

The phantom stone sword swept out horizontally.

With a soft thud, the dragon's neck snapped.

The body fell to the ground.

Shiji unveils the vast world of mountains and rivers.

The dragon's corpse was included.

They were locked up within the vast world of mountains and rivers.

Shi Ji seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement.

Just as he was about to escape.

But five dragons blocked their way.

Shi Ji's face hardened, and she activated the divine power of the Twilight of the Gods. This technique unleashed a terrifying force.

The five-headed dragon was instantly swept away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Ji broke through the blockade and rushed towards the exit.

They had just escaped from their predicament.

A dense swarm of dragons came chasing after them.

Shi Ji's face was ashen, knowing that escaping would not be easy.

This time, he did not engage in battle with the dragons again, but instead flew straight into the depths.

The dragons are too numerous, and they wish to break free from their entanglement.

The only way is to cross the restricted area.

"Awooo—" Just then, a mournful cry came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no! That girl is in danger!"

Shi Ji felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, his heart throbbing with pain. That girl had once been his savior.

Now that the girl has been robbed, one can imagine how upset Shi Ji must be.

"I will make you all pay with your lives!"

Shi Ji stared indifferently at the dragons ahead, then drew her stone sword and used the power of Ragnarok to meet them.

The stone sword pierced through the dragons' bodies like lightning, and one dragon after another was pierced by the sharp sword.

However, these dragons did not perish.

Shi Ji knew that her judgment was wrong.

These dragons' bodies were torn apart.

Yet they still possess formidable combat power. This indicates that they are by no means ordinary dragons, but rather alien beings disguised as dragons, infiltrating the battlefield between immortals and demons in search of treasure.

Shi Ji dared not linger any longer and quickly flew away into the distance, trying to shake off the group of dragon creatures behind her.

"Boy, still trying to escape?" the dragon beings sneered.

Then, the dragon creatures chased after Shi Ji.

"You are dragons."

Suddenly, Shi Ji seemed to have thought of something.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

Because Shi Ji suddenly realized.

They appear to be a special branch of the dragon race.

This type of dragon is called the Dark Dragon Clan.

Among the dragon race.

The Dark Dragon Clan is the weakest.

Next is the dragon-tiger beast.

Finally, there's Long Jiaolong.

Dragon creatures such as the dragon-like dragon and the dragon-tiger beast are mostly offspring of hybrids.

The bloodline of the orthodox dragon race is extremely pure.

The Dark Dragon Clan, on the other hand, is a hybrid bloodline with mixed lineage and low combat strength.

Even among the Dark Dragons, there are differences in strength.

For example, the dark dragons in this ancient tomb.

Its bloodline level is equivalent to that of a dragon-tiger beast.

When a dragon reaches the Emperor level, its combat power is already quite astonishing.

Moreover, dragons have long lifespans.

Therefore, the lifespan of this dragon race is extremely long.

Dark dragons are few in number. Any human cultivator or cultivator of any other race who encounters a dragon will kill it to feed other dragons.

The Dark Dragon race is highly valuable.

The physical bodies of dragons contain all sorts of secrets.

These secrets are often unknown to outsiders.

For example, the bloodline of the dragon race.

The physique of the dragon race.

The secrets of these dragons.

Therefore, dragons are extremely rare, and each one is exceptionally precious.

Shi Ji had not paid attention to this news before.

After all, she didn't know many dragon beings.

Moreover, Shi Ji had encountered many creatures similar to dragons and did not find anything special about them.

Looking back now, perhaps these dragon creatures were indeed extraordinary.

Just then, the entire ancient tomb began to shake violently.

"what happened?"

Shi Ji frowned.

"Could it be that the ancient tomb's formation has broken?"

The thought popped into her mind.

But upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely.

If the formation had truly broken, a large number of troops should have stormed in.

It wasn't just a few dragon beings that intruded into this place.

Large sections of the tomb collapsed, followed by endless black mist that billowed out, clearly concealing an extremely terrifying ferocious creature.

Shi Ji's expression suddenly darkened.

At that moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.

She quickly sheathed the stone sword and turned to flee deeper into the area.

The black mist obscured the view, making it impossible to see what lay deep within.

However, Shi Ji guessed that it must be a top-tier expert among the dragons.

The dragon creatures roared and soared into the sky, quickly chasing after Shiji.

Shi Ji flew away at high speed, trying to shake off these guys.

But she found that these guys were following her very closely.

And it's extremely fast.

Shi Ji cursed under her breath and rushed out quickly.

Finally, she broke out of the deep area.

She then soared into the sky and quickly flew towards the outer perimeter.

The dragons roared in fury.

These dragon creatures were filled with icy killing intent, wishing they could kill Shi Ji immediately.

Shi Ji sped along, rushing towards the outer perimeter.

She quickly rushed out of the core area of ​​the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and then used spatial teleportation to leave the battlefield.

"We're safe now!"

Shi Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.

She then took out the teleportation jade talisman, activated it, and returned to Immortal Spirit Continent.

Although the core area of ​​the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is full of danger.

But Shiji managed to escape unscathed.

With a flash of light, Shi Ji was teleported out of Immortal Spirit City.

"Greetings, sir!"

The guards of Immortal Spirit City immediately knelt down and paid their respects.

Shi Ji asked, "Have you ever seen a dragon creature shrouded in dark energy?"

"I saw that creature chasing after you!" the guard replied.

Shi Ji clasped her hands in a fist salute, then turned and walked outside.

"Young master! Didn't you go to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to explore opportunities? Why have you suddenly appeared in Immortal Spirit City?" an old servant asked.

Shi Ji explained with a wry smile, and the old servant nodded. He then asked, "Does the young master need any help?" Shi Ji replied, "Not for now. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Congratulations to send your son!"

The old servant bowed respectfully.

Shi Ji then left.

She headed straight for the Qingyun Sect.

Arriving at the foot of Qingyun Peak, we were just about to enter the mountain gate.

At this moment, several cultivators walked over. The leader was tall and burly, exuding an extremely domineering aura.

Shi Ji sensed the powerful aura emanating from the man.

This made her wary.

Shi Ji's gaze fell on the man's chest, and she couldn't help but gasp.

A golden token was branded on the man's chest.

"What does the golden token represent? Could it be a master from some powerful faction?"

Shi Ji murmured to herself.

The man was definitely not young, but his skin was as pink and tender as a baby's, and his physique was incredibly strong, exuding an explosive and powerful beauty.

Shi Ji dared not look at the man any longer.

She walked away into the distance, and just then, the man's gaze fell on Shi Ji.

"Stop!" the man shouted.

"Is there anything else you need, senior?"

Shi Ji stopped and clasped her hands in greeting.

"I heard you are a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Since you are a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, then come back with me."

The man said calmly.

Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed.

The Qingyun Sect was her important backer.

Now that this powerful figure has his eye on us, if we follow him back to the Qingyun Sect, we'll likely face endless trouble.

Thinking of this, Shi Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She quickly said, "Senior! I have just finished my seclusion and have not yet returned to the sect. I wonder if you could grant me a few more days?"

The man said, "Three days! You must return to the Qingyun Sect within three days!"

Shi Ji nodded and said, "Alright! This junior will definitely return to the sect as soon as possible!"

The man said no more and led his dragon minions away into the distance.

As the dragons departed, Shi Ji's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

She didn't understand what she had done to offend the man, and why he was so determined to arrest her.
Shi Ji pondered for a long time, but still had no clue.

However, she was not worried, believing that with her wisdom, she would definitely find a way to resolve the crisis.

Then Shi Ji returned to the Qingyun Sect, and her return caused a huge sensation.

After Shi Ji returned, she was appointed as an "elder".

Shi Ji's master was one of the disciples she had taken in on the Tianwu Continent.

Apart from Shi Ji, all the other cultivators were promoted to elders.

Moreover, Shi Ji's status even surpassed that of Lin Muhan and others.

Lin Muhan and the others looked rather grim, but they dared not disobey the sect leader's orders and had no choice but to act according to his wishes.

The sect leader instructed Shi Ji to convene a meeting of all the elders, and Shi Ji gathered the elders in the council hall.

The sect leader sat in the main seat.

The area below was filled with elders.

Shi Ji also found a chair and sat down.

"Everyone, our Qingyun Sect has a history of one million years and has always adhered to our ancestral teachings, acting with humility! We hope you will all keep these teachings in mind!"

The sect leader said with a solemn expression.

"I will obey the sect leader's decree!"

The crowd below answered in unison.

"I've called everyone here today to announce two things!"

"First thing! A guest has arrived from our sect! This guest has specifically requested to trade with you all! Our Qingyun Sect welcomes powerful individuals from all sides to come here to exchange or purchase treasures!"

"The second thing."

"I have decided to select four new elders from among the elders. These four new elders will serve as vice sect leaders!"

"Four new elders will be selected from among the disciples of the sect leader's lineage to manage the daily affairs of the Qingyun Sect!"

"Does everyone agree?"

"That's what the sect leader said."

"no disagreement!"

The elders below responded in unison.

"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting then!"

After the sect leader finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Subsequently, many elders left the council hall.

"Boy, come with me!"

The sect leader looked at Shi Ji and said, then took the lead and walked out of the palace.

Shiji followed closely behind.

"You must be Shi Ji?"

On the way, the sect leader looked at Shi Ji.

"Indeed! What are your instructions, senior?"

Shi Ji clasped her hands in a fist salute and said.

"follow me."

The sect leader stood with his hands behind his back and strode away into the distance.

Shi Ji could only follow the sect leader.

After walking for about half an hour, Shi Ji followed the sect leader to a courtyard. The courtyard was quite elegant, with a towering ancient tree planted in it.

"Young friend, don't be afraid! I won't hurt you!"

The sect leader smiled.

"This junior does not understand!"

Shi Ji asked in surprise.

The sect leader said, "I want to know something! You should know, right?"

Shi Ji asked in surprise, "I wonder which item you are asking about, senior?"

"The Beginning Bell!"

"That's what the sect leader said."

Shi Ji's eyelid twitched.

Who is this person? Why is he inquiring about the Beginningless Bell? Could the fall of the Azure Emperor be related to the Beginningless Bell?
Shi Ji had no idea what secrets the Boundless Bell held.

But she dared not reveal a single word.

"The Wushi Bell is the most precious treasure of our Qingyun Sect. How could we easily show it to others? To be honest, senior, the Wushi Bell is indeed in my hands, but I would also like to offer it to the sect!"
Unfortunately, the Beginningless Bell doesn't recognize its juniors at all; no matter how the junior calls out to it, the Beginningless Bell refuses to respond!

The sect leader said, "The Beginningless Bell was forged by the Azure Emperor in the past. Its spirit has a special connection with the Azure Emperor. If you really have a way to awaken the Beginningless Bell, I guarantee that I will promote you to vice sect leader!"

Shi Ji said, "Senior, the spirit of the Beginningless Bell is extremely powerful, and I have yet to find a way to awaken it..."

Moreover, the Beginningless Bell contains extremely terrifying array patterns. Even if one wanted to refine the Beginningless Bell, it would require a great deal of effort to set up various restrictions and seals!

"Therefore, I am currently unable to assist the sect in awakening the spirit of the Beginningless Bell!"

"What a pity! It seems I'll have to find another way!"

The sect leader then sighed softly.

Then he turned and left.

Shi Ji breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to her residence.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard bursts of sobbing.

"Mother, is Father gone?"

The little girl was crying very sadly, and Shi Ji quickly stepped forward and gently picked her up.

Shi Ji gently patted the girl's shoulder to comfort her.

The little girl threw herself into Shi Ji's arms and cried bitterly.

"Sweetie, don't cry! Don't cry, don't cry."

Shi Ji gently comforted the girl.

It took a long time for the girl to calm down.

"Brother! I'm hungry!"

The girl looked up at Shiji and said.

"Let's go prepare the meal first!"

Shi Ji carried the little girl to the kitchen, where he cooked three dishes and a soup.

Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a pot of rice porridge.

"It smells so good!" the little girl exclaimed happily, picking up her spoon and starting to eat.

She seemed to have never tasted such delicious food before.

Eat slowly!

Shi Ji affectionately rubbed the little girl's head.

After the meal, Shi Ji took the girl for a walk in the mountains. He told her, "Your father did not pass away! He has simply gone to seek more precious cultivation resources!"

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, looked at Shiji, and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! Your brother would never lie to you!"

"Brother is the best!" the little girl exclaimed happily.

The little girl pressed on, "Brother! Do you know what kind of cultivation resources my father went to find?"

Shi Ji said, "I don't know! Brother doesn't know anything about these things! Brother only knows that our family has acquired a treasure!"

"A treasure?" the little girl asked in confusion.

"That's right! The Beginningless Bell! The Beginningless Bell is incredibly powerful! Its power is boundless!"

"Wow! So Father was looking for the Bell of No Beginning!" The little girl exclaimed with immense excitement. (End of Chapter)
