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

If this talisman can deter that evil creature, it would be a good thing.

Without hesitation, Shi Ji offered up a purple jade talisman.

He attempted to activate the jade talisman to unleash destructive energy.

The jade talisman contains boundless destructive power.

The energy it contains is as vast as the ocean, simply beyond imagination.

After the jade talisman released its destructive energy, a dazzling light enveloped Shi Ji, and he was surrounded by a golden halo.

Shi Ji felt that her combat power suddenly surged when she activated the Reincarnation Jade Talisman.

He originally planned to activate the jade talisman and then use "Shatter the Void" to escape.

Unexpectedly, after the jade talisman was released, he found himself frozen in place.

This situation was truly bizarre; even Shi Ji's divine sense could not move an inch.

Shi Ji couldn't help but curse inwardly; she was truly in a desperate situation now.

If the body loses its ability to move, wouldn't it be at the mercy of others?

He wanted to resist, but he was powerless to fight back. The lava behemoth was far too powerful; he didn't even have the ability to withstand its attacks.

The lava behemoth roared in fury, clearly extremely wary of the purple jade talisman that Shi Ji had taken out.

The sense of crisis brought to it by the jade talisman was too intense, as if it were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, enduring an unparalleled and terrifying pressure.

The purple jade talisman, like the controller of the lava behemoth, easily determined its life and death.

The lava behemoth lunged at Shi Ji, intending to devour him.

"This ferocious creature was indeed after the purple jade talisman; this talisman must contain a shocking secret."

Shi Ji took a deep breath and then took out several more purple jade talismans from her storage ring. These were all jade talismans that she had refined, a total of nine, which she took out.

Shi Ji attempted to combine these jade talismans.

All of a sudden.

Nine jade talismans shone with dazzling brilliance.

They float in mid-air.

Each jade talisman has a different color.

They respectively symbolize various elemental forces such as wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth.

"The auras of these nine jade talismans can actually resonate with each other."

A storm raged in Shi Ji's heart.

The nine jade talismans appear to form a formation.

This array diagram must contain a secret that will shake the world.

It may be a treasure left behind by the Celestial Masters sect, or some other unknown treasure.

all in all.

Shi Ji speculated that the nine jade talismans must be related to a shocking secret.

Nine jade talismans spun rapidly around the rock, and then he heard a deep Taoist voice echoing in his mind.

"Nine stars gather, nine elements unite as one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ji's figure suddenly disappeared. He merged into the nine jade talismans and was enveloped by their power as he entered another space.

Within the new space, Shiji saw a magnificent cave.

It was the same cave he had seen earlier.

"Could this be the legendary Celestial Master's Temple?"

Shi Ji was both surprised and delighted, but of course he dared not approach rashly, fearing that there might be hidden dangers in the cave.

He walked forward cautiously.

Upon entering the cave, they discovered that it contained numerous medicinal herbs.

Among these medicinal herbs, Shi Ji recognized a few, but could not name the others.

Moreover, those medicinal herbs were all over ten thousand years old.

Shi Ji was overjoyed and quickly picked these medicinal herbs and put them into a porcelain bottle.

Although I don't know its exact grade, it must be extraordinary. I'll take it back and study it carefully.

Shi Ji continued to look ahead, when suddenly her gaze sharpened.

He discovered that a monk was sitting cross-legged in the wide square.

That being.

He stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes slightly closed, appearing unfathomable.

Upon seeing this being, Shi Ji was immediately taken aback.

because.

This being was actually the "ancestor of the Celestial Masters sect".

Shi Ji had read the edict left by the ancestors of the Celestial Masters sect and remembered it vividly.

The ancestor of the Celestial Masters sect was indeed incredibly powerful, having once roamed freely throughout the eight wastelands and six directions.

He was said to look down upon the world and be arrogant towards all living beings.

Shi Ji had been searching for clues about the ancestors of the Celestial Masters sect, but unexpectedly found their remains here.

"Greetings to our ancestors." Shi Ji knelt and kowtowed.

"This junior, Shiji, kowtows in gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon us by our ancestors." Shiji bowed reverently to the ancestor of the Celestial Masters sect.

He looked up at the remains of his ancestors and saw that powerful immortal laws swirled around them.

These are relics left behind by the ancestors of the Celestial Masters sect.

They are all extraordinary treasures.

Even after a long period of time, it has fallen.

It still exudes a chilling aura of power.

"May our ancestors rest in peace. I will surely ensure the flourishing of the Celestial Masters sect! And I will avenge you!"

Shi Ji made a vow in a low voice.

With a "bang".

Just then, Shi Ji heard a cracking sound coming from her dantian.

His cultivation level actually broke through to the fifth level of the Emperor Realm.

This surprised Shi Ji quite a bit.

How could this be?

Could it be due to breaking through a higher realm?
But even if there is a breakthrough, the progress should not be so rapid.

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

In any case, having already advanced to the fifth level of the Emperor realm, he now stands at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

He was only one step away from reaching the Emperor Realm.

But this step is as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm. Even if Shiji has accumulated enough wealth.

It will still take a long time to take this step, not to mention that he is still far from being a true Emperor.

"Let's investigate first before making a decision."

Shi Ji pondered. Now that he had come to this place, he hoped to obtain a powerful treasure.

He continued flying forward, traversing hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers before finally stopping.

A stone chamber suddenly appeared ahead.

Shi Ji walked towards the stone chamber and pushed open the stone door. When he saw the scene inside, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

We could only see the deepest part of the stone chamber.

A hazy mist slowly rose.

Amidst the mist, stood the figure of an old man.

The old man's face was exactly the same as his, the only difference being...

The old man's demeanor was completely different.

The old man was thin, but he exuded an incredibly powerful aura that was both terrifying and suffocating.

The old man's gaze swept over, seemingly containing boundless wisdom. He stared at the stone and slowly asked, "Who are you? And why have you come to my place?"

"I am Shi Ji, a former disciple of the Celestial Masters sect, and I have come here to pay homage to my ancestors!"

Shi Ji quickly bowed and looked at the old man, saying, "Ancestor, you have been gone for many years. Today, I dare to ask you a question: Does the Celestial Masters Sect truly have a founding ancestor? If so, please forgive my abruptness!"

"What you want to ask is whether my master is still alive?"

The old man said calmly.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Shi Ji became excited.

It turns out that the Celestial Masters sect really did have a founding ancestor.

Shi Ji nodded repeatedly, her expression excited.

"My master has already ascended to immortality, how could he still be in this world?"

The old man sneered, then asked, "As for you, you are not a disciple of my Celestial Masters Sect, so why have you come here?"

Shi Ji said, "I entered this place by chance, but unfortunately my strength is insufficient, and I am trapped here!"

"My master left me a priceless treasure, saying it could help me escape this predicament!"

Shi Ji took out the map of Kyushu.

This image was originally sealed inside the Nine Provinces Map.

However, the seal on the Nine Provinces Map has now been broken, clearly because the skeleton of this being released the seal on the Nine Provinces Map.

“This item.” The old man carefully examined the Kyushu picture carving.

He then shook his head slightly and said, "It is indeed a good thing, but with your cultivation level, you can't unleash the power of the Nine Provinces Map at all. Moreover, activating the Nine Provinces Map requires strong magical power!"
With your current magical power, you simply cannot activate the Nine Provinces Map.

Shi Ji couldn't help but give a wry smile.

She acknowledged that.

The Nine Provinces Map is an unparalleled immortal artifact, its power beyond comprehension.

However, activating this celestial artifact requires an extremely high level of magical power.

With her current level of cultivation, it is indeed difficult for her to unleash the full power of the Nine Provinces Map.

However, the old man's next words gave Shi Ji a real boost.

"Although I am dead, I have cultivated for countless years, and a trace of my original magic power still remains in my body! This trace of my original magic power may be able to barely be used to activate the Nine Provinces Map!"

"Thank you, senior! On behalf of the Celestial Master, and for the sake of countless lives, I thank you, senior!" Shi Ji bowed deeply.

She understood that if the old man was willing to sacrifice his own source of magical power...

Then the old man's physical body would crumble, and even his soul would vanish into thin air.

But this old man was willing to sacrifice his own original magical power to save Shi Ji.

This magnanimity.

This composure is truly awe-inspiring.

"Young friend, you are too kind. You are the future hope of the Celestial Masters Sect."

The old man said with a smile.

He then handed the map of the Nine Provinces to Shiji.

Then he said, "Young friend, leave quickly, for the master of this palace may arrive soon!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji quickly accepted the map of Kyushu.

She clasped her hands in farewell and said, "This junior takes her leave!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji rushed out and quickly escaped the area.

After Shiji left.

The old man said, "Am I truly doomed here?"

"Master, I am so sorry. If I hadn't taken you to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, perhaps you wouldn't have been in danger!"

A heart-wrenching cry came from outside; the voice belonged to the person who uttered it.

It was none other than Li Xuandao, the leader of the Celestial Masters Sect.

Shi Ji couldn't help but sigh, her heart filled with sorrow.

She ignored them and quickened her pace.

Soon Shiji returned to the ancestral temple of the Celestial Masters Sect.

suddenly.

A terrifying wave swept out from the depths of the Celestial Masters Sect, followed by a violent shaking of the ancestral temple of the Celestial Masters Sect, as if a major earthquake had occurred.

The entire mountain range nearly collapsed.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"What's going on? Why is there such a violent shaking coming from the depths of our Celestial Masters Sect? Is someone attacking our Celestial Masters Sect?"

Countless exclamations echoed from the depths of the Celestial Masters sect.

Each exclamation contained a sense of worry.

Shiji did not stop.

She went straight to the ancient temple.

She was searching for the old man's belongings, hoping he could tell her how to lift the stone tower's seal.

When Shiji arrived near the ancient temple, the temple gates were wide open.

There was nothing inside.

Shi Ji looked inside with a puzzled expression.

Inside the ancient temple, darkness reigned, so profound that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and no one knew where it led.

Shi Ji tried to enter the ancient temple, but found that the temple gate was tightly closed. No matter how hard she pushed, the gate remained firmly shut.

This ancient temple seemed to be another world, and no matter how hard Shi Ji tried, she could not destroy the temple's defensive structure.

"It seems we were all wrong. This old man has already perished; he only left behind his remains!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but sigh softly.

This old man must be an extremely powerful and ruthless character, right?

Shi Ji was unaware of his origins.

Just then, the scroll flew out again, hovering in mid-air, radiating a dazzling light.

The scroll was covered with runes.

The runes twisted and changed shape constantly.

Ultimately, it transformed into a starry sky pattern.

The starry sky pattern was surrounded by the light of glittering stars, and then...

The starry sky pattern flew towards the ancient temple.

The starry sky pattern quickly blended into the stone wall.

The stone wall suddenly cracked open, revealing a dark stone staircase.

"It really is a trap."

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

She stepped up the stone steps.

As Shi Ji stepped onto the stone steps, the surrounding scenery began to change.

Her vision returned to normal.

She found herself in a secret room.

Several pieces of broken armor and weapons were placed in the secret room.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Shi Ji frowned. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? Had the old man's bones already turned to ashes?

Shi Ji felt that the old man shouldn't be so confused.

She searched the secret room thoroughly but found nothing else.

"Hey, this jade pendant."

Shi Ji couldn't help but whisper.

She saw familiar handwriting on a jade pendant in the secret room.

The handwriting read "Celestial Master".

Shi Ji recalled the Celestial Masters sect that the old man had mentioned to her.

The Celestial Masters sect was a force created by the emperors.

This sect was extremely prosperous.

It is said that this sect has three true teachings: "Tao," "Technique," and "Mathematics."

However, later turmoil led to the gradual decline of this sect.

Shi Ji took out the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

The jade pendant appeared to be made from some special material.

Shi Ji studied it carefully.

She discovered that the two characters "Celestial Master" on the jade pendant seemed to contain a secret, and when she recited the two characters, a voice reciting them echoed in her mind.

These recitations were quite peculiar.

It seems to contain a spell.

Shi Ji could not understand the meaning of this incantation.

She tried reciting the incantations, and then the incantations flooded her mind.

Then, countless golden runes surged from Shi Ji's body, swirling around her. A look of joy appeared on Shi Ji's face.

She tried practicing the Celestial Masters' Taoist techniques.

Soon, the dense golden runes condensed into a phantom battle sword.

Shi Ji shouted loudly.

Then the sword slashed forward.

A tearing sound rang out.

The massive stone gate was smashed open.

Shi Ji passed through the stone gate and appeared in a mysterious world, a world completely different from the outside.

The temperature in this world is extremely high.

Everywhere was ablaze with raging fire, and rivers of lava flowed everywhere.

Various ferocious beasts lived in those lava rivers.

This world is too dangerous.

Shi Ji sensed a strong sense of danger.

The world is far more dangerous than she imagined.

Various roars rose and fell.

Those terrifying beings all opened their eyes and looked in the direction where Shi Ji was.

then.

Those terrifying beings rushed towards Shiji.

Shi Ji was so frightened that she trembled all over and turned to run away.

Those terrifying beings were too horrifying for her to withstand.

Just then, a light suddenly appeared behind Shiji.

Then, the two stone doors opened, and those two stone doors seemed to possess a powerful sealing force.

The rocky islet was sucked into the stone gate.

After Shi Ji was sucked in, the stone door closed on its own, revealing a dark space inside, where a skeleton lay.

The skeleton was that of the old man.

The old man was dressed in a bronze battle robe and wore a blue crown.

Although he has been dead for many years.

But the skeleton still exudes endless pressure.

Even though he has been dead for many years.

His remains also inspire awe.

"Are you the old man?"

Shi Ji dared not approach the old man's remains, for the old man was too eerie; who knew if he might rise from the dead? (End of Chapter)
