Another person laughed and chimed in, "What's so strange about that? Newborns are born in Yunzhou every now and then!"

"This child has very poor talent; I wonder if he can succeed in cultivation?"

"Hehe, what do you think?"

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow slightly as she listened to the conversation among the cultivators.

It turns out that the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall has adopted another child.

No wonder I encountered trouble as soon as I arrived in this area.

Shi Ji walked away into the distance, sensing a crisis quietly approaching.

He tried to avoid the danger, but soon he stopped in his tracks as he found himself blocked by a group of people.

The group consisted of more than a dozen people, all dressed in black robes and wearing straw hats that covered their faces.

"Boy, hand over the stuff, or don't blame us for being impolite!" The leading cultivator looked coldly at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji frowned and asked, "Who are you? I don't know any of you. Why are you blocking my way?"

"Since you refuse to cooperate, then die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so cultivators pounced on Shi Ji.

With a flash of cold light, they unleashed their magical weapons and slashed at Shi Ji.

A dozen flying swords, radiating a chilling killing intent, instantly arrived beside Shi Ji and slashed towards his neck.

It was clear that Shi Ji was about to be killed by these flying swords.

Just then, the void suddenly shattered.

A huge crack spread out, followed by a series of loud collisions, and the flying swords shattered instantly.

"Who dares to meddle in our business?"

A group of men in black, their faces grim, roared angrily. However, when they looked up into the void, they saw nothing.

The men in black were thrown into a panic, filled with terror.

"Since you are hiding here, you must be a master. Why are you spying on us from the void? Do you think we are easy to bully?" The leader of the men in black said coldly, trying to appear calm.

Clearly, these men in black were terrified.

"I am the Divine Calculator! You may address me as such!"

A detached voice suddenly echoed from the void.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in white stepped out from the void.

When the man in black saw Shi Ji, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Shi Ji's memories had mostly returned, and he recognized the man in black as one of the people who had besieged the Nine Nether Palace in the past. On that occasion, this man led more than a hundred cultivators and surrounded more than thirty experts from the Nine Nether Palace.

The others may have no memory of Shi Ji, but Shi Ji has a vivid memory of the man in black.

Back then, Shi Ji displayed heaven-defying methods, killing more than a dozen Emperor-level experts, and her powerful strength shocked everyone present.

The man in black immediately saw Shi Ji as his prey and wanted to capture him and present him to that "young master".

However, his plan failed, and Shi Ji ultimately escaped.

Shi Ji walked step by step toward the man in black and grabbed his head.

With a series of crisp cracking sounds, the black-clad man's head was twisted into a pretzel shape by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji casually tossed the black-clad man's corpse aside.

The other men in black looked terrified upon seeing this.

Shi Ji was too terrifying; they simply couldn't withstand her.

The men in black immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Shi Ji remained indifferent and coldly retorted, "You lowly slaves have forgotten your own master. It seems you have no desire to live!"

Before she finished speaking, Shi Ji raised her right hand and threw a punch.

More than a dozen black-clad cultivators were instantly killed by Shi Ji.

Although these people were all at the Emperor level, Shi Ji had now recovered 50-60% of her combat power, making it incredibly easy for her to deal with these Emperor-level beings.

Shiji remained in the area.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

Shi Ji's injuries have almost fully recovered.

That night, Shi Ji lay in bed with her eyes closed, pretending to sleep. Suddenly, the window was pushed open.

Two masked women quietly entered the room.

These two women had incredibly hot figures, and even though their faces were covered, their identities could still be vaguely discerned.

These two masked women were clearly the ones who besieged the Nine Nether Palace back then.

"Hey girls! What do you want from me? Do you want to serve me in bed?" Shi Ji said with an evil smile.

"Hmph! You brat! You dare to speak so recklessly! You're asking for it!"

Two masked women coldly looked at Shi Ji, and at the same time swung their sharp blades at her.

Two sharp blades, radiating a chilling, bone-piercing light, rapidly coalesced into two giant ice dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at Shi Ji.

"A mere trick! Utterly useless!"

Shi Ji said with a cold smile, and slapped out. Instantly, terrifying magical power surged out, directly neutralizing the attacks of the two masked women.

"How is this possible? How did you become so powerful?"

Seeing that Shi Ji had neutralized their combined attack with a single move, the two masked women's pretty faces changed drastically.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Shi Ji's lips. "Now you're scared? Too bad, it's too late!"

Before she finished speaking, Shi Ji flicked her finger, and a beam of light swept towards the two masked women.

The two masked women quickly employed defensive techniques to counter Shi Ji's attack.

However, they were still blasted away and fell to the ground.

"Are you now willing to submit to me?" Shi Ji asked coldly.

"You're dreaming!"

A masked woman said through gritted teeth.

"If that's the case, then die!"

Shi Ji leaped up and attacked again, slashing at the masked woman with a palm strike.

This palm strike was so powerful that it tore through the void and slammed into the masked woman's chest.

On the spot, the veiled woman's protective magical armor was torn apart as if it were fabric.

The masked woman's body was also torn to shreds.

Shi Ji was too lazy to search for the masked woman's soul memories anymore.

He believed that those people would definitely not send only this one group to hunt him down.

It's likely that other forces are also eyeing it.

If those forces discover that he is still alive, they will definitely send people to hunt him down.

Shi Ji needs to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid being tracked by experts from other forces, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous.

"Damn guy!"

Another masked woman cursed venomously before turning and quickly leaving.

The masked woman did not return to pursue Shi Ji.

Because she knew very well that, with her own abilities, she was no match for Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's strength was simply too formidable; even if these top experts joined forces, they would still be far from being her match.

If they stayed to pursue and kill Shi Ji at this point, they would undoubtedly be courting death.

"Young master is truly amazing!"

"Of course, our young master is a great demon king who roams the Nine Provinces and whose fame is renowned. How could two mere maids at the Emperor Realm be a match for him?"

Shi Ji strolled leisurely out of the inn.

The shopkeepers all bowed respectfully in greeting.

This city is under the jurisdiction of Huangfeng City.

Therefore, Shi Ji can move freely in this city without any restrictions.

Shi Ji was wandering aimlessly through the streets. Just then, a powerful wave suddenly swept across the area.

An ancient stone slab floats in mid-air, radiating a dazzling light.

The "Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda" has appeared in the world; this supreme treasure has finally come into existence.

With a "whoosh," the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda soared into the sky and instantly disappeared into the depths of the firmament.

"I've finally waited for this moment!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, several more airships sped towards the horizon.

Those flying boats also carried powerful individuals.

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

He sensed that these cultivators were all at the Emperor level.

Their cultivation level was almost the same as the group of people they had encountered before.

Are these people also here for the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda?

Shi Ji did not linger and quickly left to avoid attracting the attention of more experts.

He sped along until he reached an area about ten thousand miles away from that mountain range, and then stopped.

This place is teeming with monsters, and all sorts of powerful and ferocious beasts dwell in this mountain range.

Shi Ji chose a mountain peak to land on.

Then, he took out the jade pendant.

"The purpose of this jade pendant is to locate the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is hidden in this mountain range. But there are far too many creatures in this mountain range, and many of them are extremely powerful. It would be too difficult to fly over the heads of these creatures. It seems I need to change my appearance."

Shi Ji muttered to herself.

He then used magic to change his appearance.

Shi Ji transformed into the appearance of a young nobleman.

Then, he sped deeper into the mountains.

Deep within the mountains, powerful and ferocious beasts lurk.

But this is, after all, the edge of Huangfeng Ridge, and even the deep edge of Huangfeng Ridge.

Therefore, although many terrifying creatures lurk in the mountains, there are no particularly powerful ferocious beasts.

After traversing three mountain ranges, Shi Ji finally arrived deep within Huangfeng Ridge.

A terrifying aura lingers within this mountain range.

The mountains are fraught with unknown dangers.

After arriving here, Shi Ji immediately concealed her aura.

He carefully observed his surroundings.

Soon, Shi Ji discovered that deep in the mountains, there was a huge cave.

Shi Ji sensed the powerful aura emanating from the cave.

That aura seemed to have some kind of connection with the jade pendant he had obtained before.

"That jade pendant is the key to the depths of that mountain range. I'll go and test it out first, to see if there really is any treasure deep within that mountain range."

Shi Ji's mind raced, and she quietly crept deeper into the mountains.

Soon, Shi Ji entered the depths of the mountains and arrived at the outer perimeter of the cave.

He saw rows of shriveled skeletons.

Clearly, these bodies had been dead for a long time.

Shiji approached the deep cave.

Suddenly, an astonishing fluctuation permeated the cave.

Shi Ji was startled. Could it be that something was about to emerge?

Amidst the flashes of light, a mysterious energy flew out from the cave.

Within that mass of energy seemed to lie a powerful being. It was that terrifying being that flew out of the cave, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji reacted extremely quickly.

He easily dodged the attack of the mysterious energy. The mysterious energy missed its target and flew back into the cave.

Shi Ji stood still, not moving. He hadn't made a move to suppress that strange creature.

That strange creature didn't seem to want to be enemies with Shiji either.

Soon after, the door to the deep cave slowly opened again.

A terrifyingly powerful being flew out.

This being is truly terrifying, emanating an aura that shakes all the heavens and myriad realms.

This even made Shi Ji feel like she wanted to kneel down and submit.

That terrifying being was actually an ape.

The ape was a hundred feet long, covered in golden fur, with scarlet eyes that gleamed with a chilling light.

This is an extremely powerful primordial species, said to possess an incredibly extraordinary bloodline.

Now Shi Ji finally understood why so many powerful cultivators had gathered here.

Every five thousand years when the exquisite pagoda is unearthed, so many powerful beings emerge from Huangfeng Ridge.

Moreover, there might be some treasure hidden deep within that cave.

The ape-like creature fixed its gaze on Shi Ji, seemingly wanting to snatch the jade pendant from his hand.

"You want this jade pendant?"

Upon hearing the monkey's words, Shi Ji immediately revealed a mocking expression.

This guy actually dared to ask him for the jade pendant; he's really asking for trouble.

"If you don't hand over the jade pendant, don't blame me for being ruthless," the ape said viciously.

"Hehe, I'd like to see how ruthless you are!" Shi Ji grinned, looking at the ape with a mocking expression.

"Boy, you'll soon find out how powerful I am. I'll spare you for now, but I'll torture you to the point of agony before taking your life."

Before the words were even finished, the ape pounced directly at Shi Ji, its claws as sharp as blades.

Shi Ji gave a disdainful snort.

Faced with the ape's attack, he raised his right fist and slammed it out.

The two sides collided instantly.

In an instant, the ape was sent flying by Shi Ji's punch.

The ape's face was full of anger. It roared and charged at Shiji again.

This ape has an extremely strong body and astonishing strength.

Moreover, its combat skills seem to be quite remarkable.

It has to be said, this guy certainly has the ability to stand out from the crowd.

However, in Shi Ji's eyes, these advantages were nothing at all.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

Shi Ji unleashed the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique, unleashing a continuous stream of sword energy that tore through the void and hurtled towards the ape.

The monkey kept waving its claws to block Shi Ji's swordsmanship.

Its sharp, knife-like claws clashed fiercely with Shi Ji's Sky-Splitting Sword Technique, instantly sending sparks flying.

After the collision, the ape's claws shattered and vanished.

The ape roared angrily, thoroughly enraged by Shi Ji's overwhelming strength.

The ape frantically activated its magic, and instantly its skin was covered with a layer of black scales.

Once these scales covered its body, the ape's defense increased several times over.

The monkey's claws reached for the rock again.

Those black scales were no ordinary objects; they were suits of armor forged from special materials. (End of Chapter)
