Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Shi Ji learned that an auction house was currently auctioning a treasure called the Blood Soul Pearl. It was said to be a pearl left behind by an evil being after its demise, containing immense power of its essence and blood.

Moreover, it contains astonishing curse power; once ingested, it can completely dispel the curse power within the body.

Shi Ji intends to spend a fortune to buy this Blood Soul Pearl, as it is no ordinary item.

He entered the auction hall.

The auction hall was extremely magnificent, filled with cultivators, a dense and awe-inspiring sight.

As expected of the Holy City of Myriad Races, the sheer number of cultivators gathered there is terrifying.

"Look, who is that kid? He's only at the early stage of the Emperor Realm!"

"How did such a weak cultivator end up in the auction hall?"

Some people looked at Shi Ji with disdain, clearly looking down on him and thinking he was a low-class person who would only humiliate himself by coming to such a place.

But Shi Ji didn't bother with these guys at all; he sat down at a table to rest.

Before long, the auction began. The auctioneer started introducing the items for auction. This time, the items being auctioned were all extremely precious, including celestial artifacts, magical treasures, and supernatural powers.

However, these magical artifacts and treasures, though precious, did not arouse Shi Ji's interest.

He was fully aware of his own strength. Unless he encountered an extraordinary innate magic weapon, other innate magic weapons would be of little use to him.

Because now, he wields three supreme immortal swords.

When the three immortal swords are combined, their power is multiplied, making them difficult even for ordinary innate magic weapons to withstand. This is the key reason why innate magic weapons amplify his combat strength.

Therefore, Shi Ji didn't care about those magical artifacts and treasures at all.

He was quite interested in the Blood Soul Bead in the auction house. It was a black sphere, exuding a cold and sinister aura, with an extremely strange energy swirling around it.

That mass of energy seemed to contain a powerful curse, eerie and malevolent.

"Everyone, I believe you have already sensed the extraordinary nature of this Blood Soul Bead. It was forged from the heart of an ancient demon beast that perished."

The auctioneer said with a smile.

"The heart of an ancient demon blood soul beast?"

"My God, does that mean this Blood Soul Pearl contains a trace of the bloodline of the ancient demon race's Blood Soul Beast?"

"This is terrifying! This is a true treasure!"

There was a lot of chatter among the crowd.

The ancient monsters were incredibly powerful, and those powerful monsters basically possessed heaven-defying abilities.

The hearts that emerge from the bodies of dead monsters are often considered priceless treasures.

"Furthermore, I'll reveal some more information about this Blood Soul Pearl. It's said that the heart born from the ancient demon beast Blood Soul Beast was devoured by a Great Emperor! After devouring this Blood Soul Pearl, that Great Emperor's strength greatly increased!"

Upon hearing this, many cultivators couldn't help but gasp.

Isn’t this too outrageous?

What kind of opportunity did that emperor obtain to gain such great benefits?
Shi Ji frowned. He had a feeling that the cultivator who devoured the Blood Soul Pearl was somehow connected to him. What was the origin of this Blood Soul Pearl, and why was it related to him?
Shi Ji's head was buzzing, and a raging fire surged in her heart.

His fists clenched so tightly that his bones cracked.

He felt as if his chest was about to explode; the anger and murderous intent were almost too much for his body to bear. He quickly composed himself.

"Please be quiet, everyone! Please be quiet! Let's get right to the point. I won't go into detail about what the Blood Soul Bead is, as I'm sure you all know its effects."

It can not only remove the curse power from one's bloodline, but also enhance a cultivator's cultivation level!

"Of course, removing the curse from one's bloodline is no easy task and requires a great price. However, the president of my auction house is willing to help that cultivator exorcise the curse from his bloodline!"

"Now, the auction has officially entered the bidding phase, with a starting price of 50 billion immortal stones! Each bid must be at least 1 billion immortal stones higher!" the auctioneer announced loudly.

"Five hundred and twenty billion!" The words had barely left his lips when someone made the first bid.

As the auction progressed, everyone bid enthusiastically, and the price of the Blood Soul Pearl quickly climbed, soon breaking through the 80 billion mark.

When the price reached 80 billion, some cultivators with slightly weaker strength began to back down. After all, such a massive amount of immortal stones was beyond the reach of most cultivators. Even if they managed to gather enough, they could only watch helplessly, because immortal stones were extremely scarce in the cultivation world.

Ultimately, the Blood Soul Pearl was acquired by an ancestor of a powerful force for a high price of 200 billion immortal stones.

"What a fruitful day! This immortal herb is enough to refine a drop of ten-thousand-year-old blood jade marrow!" An old ancestor handed a jade bottle to the auction staff and then got up and left the venue.

Meanwhile, the remaining elders continued to compete for the next item, creating a lively atmosphere at the auction.

Shi Ji also participated in the auction, and he was very generous, directly offering a price of 20 billion immortal stones.

In the end, he successfully bid for the fourth and final item – a near-immortal artifact.

Auction staff told Shi Ji that this quasi-immortal artifact was called the "Diamond Bracelet," a magical treasure once refined by an immortal lord, possessing extremely powerful offensive capabilities. Unfortunately, due to the immortal lord's lifespan running out, the artifact is now unusable.

Shi Ji entrusted the Vajra Bracelet to Bai Linglong for safekeeping.

Bai Linglong said gratefully, "Thank you, young master."

Shi Ji smiled slightly and said, "These things are no longer of any use to me, so I might as well give them to you for self-defense."

"Then this servant will respectfully accept your offer." Bai Linglong smiled as she accepted the golden bracelet, then got up and headed to the auction house manager's office.

"Miss Bai, what can I do for you?" The auction house manager immediately put on a smile when he saw Bai Linglong.

Bai Linglong said calmly, "Give me that quasi-immortal artifact called the Vajra Bracelet."

"Alright." The auction manager nodded quickly and handed a bronze bracelet to Bai Linglong.

This bracelet is crafted from extraordinary materials, with mysterious runes flowing across it and emanating terrifying energy. Although it cannot be activated at present, its power will undoubtedly be astonishing when activated in the future.

After receiving the bracelet, Bai Linglong returned to her private room.

When she returned to the private room, a wicked smile curled at the corner of Shi Ji's mouth.

He had long suspected there was a spy within the auction house. Not long ago, he had secretly plotted against and captured the spy, and after interrogation, learned of the spy's presence within the auction house.

So, Shi Ji sent Bai Linglong to investigate and see if they could find out who was behind it all.

Just then, the auction manager arrived at Bai Linglong's private room with a tray and gently knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Bai Linglong's voice came from inside: "Come in."

The auction manager pushed open the door and entered, then immediately closed it.

"Miss Bai, here is the Vajra Bracelet you requested." The auction manager placed the Vajra Bracelet on the table.

Bai Linglong nodded and said, "You may step down."

"Yes," the auction manager replied, turning and quickly leaving.

Shi Ji's gaze fell on the Vajra Bracelet. He felt that this magical artifact was indeed extraordinary, as it was engraved with many complex patterns and seemed to contain a special power.

However, Shi Ji has not yet been able to fully understand what kind of power it is. Bai Linglong placed the box containing the Blood Soul Pearl on the tray, then sat down in a chair and began to meditate.

She is preparing for a breakthrough, and during this time she will also cultivate the Nine Absolute Yin Fiend Finger, striving to break through to the Emperor Realm as soon as possible.

The higher one's bloodline, the more difficult it is to improve. Even those with extraordinary talent will find it difficult to break through quickly without sufficient resources. In fact, many cultivators struggle to even reach the Emperor Realm.

This is why Bai Linglong urgently needs to improve her strength; otherwise, her bloodline will not be able to transform. If the transformation fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When blood turns red, it means that the blood vessels have completely lost their original color.

At this moment, Shi Ji stood up and walked towards the Blood Soul Pearl, intending to snatch it while Bai Linglong was cultivating.

A cold expression appeared on his face.

"You little beast! What do you think you're doing?"

Just as Shi Ji was about to approach the Blood Soul Pearl, a cold roar suddenly came from within the Blood Soul Pearl.

"Hmph, you dare to curse me even when you're about to die? Watch how I deal with you," Shi Ji said with a sneer.

Immediately, he opened his large hand and reached out to grab the Blood Soul Pearl.

The Blood Soul Pearl trembled violently, and a small blood-red dragon rushed out from it.

The blood-red dragon instantly transformed into the appearance of a male cultivator.

The aura of the blood-red dragon was terrifying beyond measure.

"Blood Dragon Saint Emperor, I didn't expect you to still be alive." Upon seeing the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor, Shi Ji's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

The ferocious demon before us is a truly vicious and wicked person.

This Blood Dragon Saint Emperor has stained his hands with the blood of countless innocent people.

He also controls the extremely terrifying Underworld in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"You brat! How dare you try to steal what belongs to me! You're delusional! Today, I will devour your flesh and blood and devour your soul completely!"

Blood Dragon Saint Emperor's voice was icy cold. Before he finished speaking, he flew towards Shi Ji like lightning, and at the same time, he punched Shi Ji's head hard.

Shi Ji remained calm, and with a gentle wave of her right hand, a surge of immense power instantly erupted.

With a dull, loud thud, the two collided violently.

After the collision, both Shi Ji and the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor were sent flying backward. The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor was knocked several meters away, while Shi Ji stood firmly in place, without moving an inch.

Judging from this, Shi Ji does not appear to be injured.

"Eh, kid, how come your power is so formidable? Could you be a Great Emperor-level expert? But from my observation, you don't seem to be at all."

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor said with a look of surprise.

"You're wrong, I am a half-step Immortal Emperor! But your knowledge is shallow; the difference between a half-step Immortal Emperor and an ordinary Great Emperor is like heaven and earth!"

"You're a half-step Immortal Emperor? That's impossible! You clearly only have the cultivation of a peak Quasi-Emperor, far from being an Immortal Emperor. You must be bluffing!"

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor shook his head, clearly not believing Shi Ji's words. After all, the aura emanating from Shi Ji was indeed only at the Quasi-Emperor level.

However, the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor felt a vague unease in his heart.

Shi Ji possessed a unique aura, a domineering presence that transcended all living beings. This kind of aura was only possessed by powerful figures at the level of Emperors or Great Emperors.

Even a great emperor would find it difficult to possess such a temperament.

Unless, this powerful figure is a true Immortal King or Immortal Emperor.

But how could ordinary people possibly see a powerhouse at the level of a Celestial King or Celestial Emperor?

Not to mention the younger generation of Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses.

Shi Ji remained calm and said, "Believe it or not!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji strode toward the Blood Soul Pearl.

At this moment, the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor grinned maliciously and said, "Boy, do you think this Vajra Bracelet of mine is just an ordinary Vajra Bracelet? Let me tell you, sealed within this Vajra Bracelet is a wisp of my remnant will!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly at the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor's words. This Blood Dragon Saint Emperor was indeed cunning; he had actually kept a trick up his sleeve and hidden a wisp of his remnant spirit.

But so what?
"The fighting power of this wisp of my remnant spirit is enough to annihilate you a hundred or a thousand times! Boy, since you have walked into my trap, then I will devour your flesh and blood and absorb your essence. At that time, my cultivation will surely be greatly restored!"

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor spoke in an icy voice.

Shi Ji's lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, "Is that so? Then let's wait and see!"

As she spoke, Shi Ji unleashed the "Sealing God Technique" from the Eight Seals of Forbidden Gods. Instantly, an invisible sealing force condensed and enveloped the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor.

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor's attack was easily blocked by Shi Ji, and then the sealing power quickly wrapped around him.

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor dared not be careless and quickly circulated his magic power to resist the sealing force.

However, he soon discovered that his cultivation was rapidly depleting as he used his magic to resist Shi Ji's sealing power.

He was horrified, realizing he was in danger.

He quickly opened his storage ring and took out a treasure—an ancient bronze lamp.

A fierce flame burned atop the bronze lamp, emanating an eerie aura.

As Shi Ji channeled her sealing power to entwine it, the bronze lamp burning with raging flames suddenly exploded.

A terrifying, destructive force instantly swept across the surroundings.

"Boy! I'll remember you! Once I recover my cultivation, I'll grind you to dust!"

Blood Dragon Saint Emperor roared and turned to flee.

"Heh heh, now that you're standing right in front of me, do you still want to live?"

Shi Ji sneered, and with a flash, she quickly gave chase.

Although the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor fled at an extremely fast speed, he was still far behind Shi Ji in terms of speed.

Before long, Shi Ji caught up with the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor. He reached out and struck the Blood Dragon Saint Emperor, and blood splattered instantly.

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor's body was shattered by Shi Ji's slap, and he ultimately perished.

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor's corpse fell to the edge of the great formation.

Shi Ji leaped into the formation, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Blood Dragon Saint Emperor is doomed to die today.

The Blood Dragon Saint Emperor's storage ring also flew into Shi Ji's hands.

After investigating, Shi Ji discovered that Blood Dragon Saint Emperor was indeed rolling in money.

The storage ring was piled high with pills, weapons, rune stones, all sorts of materials, many rare treasures, and a vast amount of cultivation resources such as immortal stones. (End of Chapter)
