Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"Are you alright?" Ling Weixue asked in confusion when she saw Shi Ji stop.

“It’s alright,” Shi Ji said.

Ling Weixue nodded and said, "I feel like we've already arrived in front of that stone tablet."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji also showed a look of joy.

He and Ling Weixue arrived at the stone tablet.

"The stone tablet indeed contains the essence of the Sunbird!"

Upon seeing the sunbird spirit sealed within the stone tablet, both Shi Ji and Ling Weixue were extremely excited.

If they could obtain the essence of the Sunbird, they could use its power to fight against the remnant soul of the Sunbird.

Shi Ji tried to approach the stone tablet, but at that moment, he was surprised to find that the surface of the stone tablet suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force came from the stone tablet, instantly pulling Shi Ji towards it at high speed.

Shi Ji was startled, but reacted extremely quickly, breaking free from the stone tablet's restraints in an instant.

But Ling Weixue wasn't so lucky.

She was immediately enveloped by the suction force of the stone tablet and found it difficult to break free; she was pulled towards the stone tablet.

"Xiaoxue, I'm coming to save you!"

Shi Ji shouted and quickly flew over, reaching out to grab Ling Weixue.

Ling Weixue was exceptionally skilled. When she saw Shi Ji grabbing at her, she threw a punch and shattered Shi Ji's claws.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her right leg and kicked Shi Ji hard in the chest.

The two exchanged blows and kicks, each retreating several meters.

Shi Ji was secretly shocked; this woman's strength was truly terrifying.

He looked at Ling Weixue in shock and said, "How can your combat power be so heaven-defying?"

It's truly unbelievable that Ling Weixue, at such a young age, possesses such formidable combat power.

Have you forgotten my past?

The "past" that Ling Weixue refers to is that she was once a trained assassin by the imperial family.

She had stayed in several places, such as a brothel in the capital or some secret hideouts in the palace.

She frequented these places.

Therefore, her cultivation, knowledge, and combat experience far surpass those of ordinary people. In addition, her special physique contributes to her formidable combat power.

After Ling Weixue finished speaking, she quickly attacked Shi Ji. Shi Ji snorted coldly and unleashed many powerful divine abilities to deal with the attack.

However, this female cultivator's methods were extremely strange. She was able to skillfully avoid Shi Ji's attacks each time and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.

"Ice Condensation Nine Heavens Sword Technique!"

"Ice freezes over ten thousand miles!"

Her supernatural powers attacked Shi Ji relentlessly, and her strength was indeed not to be underestimated. Although Shi Ji's cultivation far surpassed Ling Weixue's, and she could even easily defeat her, Ling Weixue's methods were too strange, and Shi Ji could not find any weakness in her.

Ling Weixue struck out with her palm, and countless ice spikes instantly condensed in the void.

These icicles possess immense destructive power, pressing down on the rocky islet.

Shi Ji unleashed her Iron-Blooded Overlord Fist and engaged in a fierce battle with Ling Weixue.

A series of deafening, violent collisions forced Shi Ji and Ling Weixue to retreat. The battle was evenly matched; neither side could gain the upper hand.

Shi Ji and Ling Weixue were evenly matched in strength, but their cultivation levels differed greatly. Ling Weixue had already broken through to the Quasi-Emperor level three thousand years ago, and her cultivation had long since reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm. Shi Ji, on the other hand, had not yet broken through to the Quasi-Emperor level.

Although Shi Ji was confident in breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor level, she needed to accumulate enough energy.

The time is not yet right; he must wait until he has accumulated enough energy before making a breakthrough.

Otherwise, rushing into a breakthrough could easily lead to an unstable foundation or even cause serious damage.

Of course, Shi Ji was not worried that she would perish because of this.

He possesses the art of phoenix rebirth, so he has no fear of falling.

Ling Weixue's face was full of surprise. She really couldn't understand why, after a brief exchange, she and Shi Ji were evenly matched.

Not to be outdone, she drew a long spear and swung it at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji then unleashed her Devouring Martial Soul, which, with its help, neutralized Ling Weixue's fierce attack.

However, the next moment, Shi Ji's expression changed drastically. He discovered that Ling Weixue had vanished without a trace.

He had been using his soul to lock onto Ling Weixue's aura, so no matter how Ling Weixue concealed her aura, he could still clearly detect it.

But now, Ling Weixue has suddenly disappeared.

Shi Ji could only find Ling Weixue by locking onto her aura with her soul.

He frowned, a look of surprise on his face.

He sensed another aura from Ling Weixue's fluctuations.

"There's actually a hidden expert here? It seems this woman is truly shrewd; she knew she couldn't defeat me alone, so she called for reinforcements!"

Shi Ji muttered to herself, and without hesitation, rushed toward the location of the mysterious expert.

The being remained hidden in the shadows. Shi Ji guessed that it was probably some kind of demon, but he didn't know exactly what kind of demon it was.

So he planned to capture the demon and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the immortal herb.

"You brat! How dare you ambush me! Today I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

A deep roar came, and then the figure of the demon appeared.

When Shi Ji saw the appearance of this demon, she was also greatly surprised.

This demon is vastly different from ordinary demons.

His head was in a bizarre, semi-transparent state, and his body was twisted beyond recognition, making him look like a deformed monster.

"Are you a member of the demon race?" Shi Ji asked, frowning.

Upon hearing Shi Ji's question, the demon-ghost cultivator was taken aback, then sneered repeatedly: "That's right, I am a member of the demon-ghost clan, and a terrifying existence at the Ghost King level! Boy, since you recognize my demon-ghost clan, you should know what terrible price you will pay for offending us!"

"You demon race people really do love to put on airs as always. I have to admire your 'courage'." Shi Ji looked at the sneaky demon race expert with sarcasm.

The powerful demon-ghost clan member roared and leaped up, pouncing on Shi Ji like a hungry tiger.

Shi Ji snorted coldly, raised her right arm, and slammed a punch hard at the powerful demon ghost.

This punch was powerful and heavy, with astonishing force, causing the demon clan expert's expression to change drastically, his eyes filled with horror.

The powerful demon was sent flying by Shi Ji's punch, crashing heavily to the ground. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened in disbelief. He clearly couldn't believe that Shi Ji had defeated him in a single move and even injured him.

Shi Ji strode towards the demon cultivator and said coldly, "Tell me the whereabouts of your demon cultivator's immortal herb. If you tell me the truth, perhaps I can spare your life!"

"Are you dreaming? I am one of the top cultivators of the demon race. Do you think you are my opponent?" the demon cultivator said through gritted teeth.

Shi Ji curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Looks like you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. In that case, I'll just have to send you on your way!"

"Boy, don't be so arrogant. I'll teach you a lesson right now!" the demon cultivator roared angrily.

He quickly stood up and activated the Ghost Claw Technique. This Ghost Claw Technique was one of the top supernatural abilities of the demon race. The demon race was most skilled in using the Ghost Claw Technique.

The Ghost Claw Technique is incredibly powerful, said to be able to tear apart the heavens and shatter stars. Shi Ji had witnessed the power of this Ghost Claw Technique firsthand.

However, the Ghost Claw Technique did not seem to have much of a deterrent effect on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji threw a punch at the Ghost Claw Technique, and the demon cultivator sneered disdainfully: "How ridiculous! My Ghost Claw Technique is incredibly powerful, yet you choose to withstand it with your bare body. You're simply courting death!"

The demon cultivator looked at Shi Ji with disdain, thinking that what he was doing was extremely foolish and a waste of effort.

The next moment, their fists collided violently.

Shi Ji's incredibly powerful punch instantly destroyed the demon and ghost cultivator's attack.

The demon cultivator screamed in agony as his chest caved in and blood gushed out.

He was severely injured, but the demon race was extremely resilient, and even so, he did not die.

The demon cultivators struggled to escape, but Shi Ji would not give them that chance.

Shi Ji threw another punch, and this time, the demon cultivator exploded and vanished into nothingness.

Shi Ji took the storage ring from the demon cultivator and then returned to her residence, looting all the treasures inside. In this battle, Shi Ji obtained over ten billion immortal stones.

He originally intended to use these immortal stones to improve his cultivation, but found that his cultivation could no longer be improved.

This frustrated Shi Ji greatly, as the cultivation resources were extremely scarce at the moment, and his cultivation had stagnated after reaching the Emperor Lord realm.

Apart from this incident, Shi Ji's cultivation level did not improve at all in the following years.

This is clearly not normal.

However, even if he could no longer improve his cultivation, Shi Ji's foundation remained incredibly strong. He was not afraid at all, even when encountering a Quasi-Emperor at the seventh or eighth level, or even a peak-level expert.

"The Gongsun family, the Dongfang family, the Nangong family..." A chilling glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes. These three families, including the Li family and the Gu family that he had previously destroyed, all had deep grudges against Shi Ji, and he would never let them go.

Once I recover my cultivation, I must make a trip to these three major families.

Shi Ji's primary task now is to improve her cultivation level before considering anything else.

After returning to her residence, Shi Ji entered her secluded meditation room and began to study the mysterious armor she had obtained.

As he began to examine the armor, it suddenly released dazzling golden runes. The runes, once released, immediately emitted a sinister and terrifying aura.

The fluctuations were extremely malevolent, sending chills down one's spine.

“This armor seems to be a funerary object!” Shi Ji couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression.

He sensed a dense aura of death emanating from the armor, an aura both eerie and terrifying. Shi Ji suspected that the armor was likely forged from the undead of the underworld.

Although this armor is not a true funerary object, it does not diminish its immense power in the slightest.

Shi Ji put on the armor.

In an instant, countless golden runes surged into his body like a tidal wave. As these golden runes entered his body, Shi Ji felt his soul gradually weaken.

In a daze, he seemed to see his soul transform into a wandering ghost, slowly drifting towards a dark and deep mountain range.

Shi Ji tried her best to open her eyes and see where she was, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open them.

He hurriedly tried to circulate his vital energy and spirit to resist the corrosive influence of the runes. However, the power of these runes was far too terrifying for Shi Ji to withstand.

His soul began to crumble little by little, eventually turning to ashes.

Just then, Shi Ji sensed a vast and boundless power surging into her mind like a tidal wave.

After this powerful force entered her mind, it began to nourish Shi Ji's soul, which had already turned to ashes.

Gradually, Shi Ji felt her soul begin to reorganize, and eventually she was completely restored to her original state.

Shi Ji discovered that the armor had vanished without a trace. He realized that the original owner of the armor must have integrated it into his body.

After her soul condensed into a physical form, Shi Ji sat cross-legged on the bed and continued her cultivation.

Shi Ji has now reached the bottleneck of breaking through to the Great Emperor realm, so he must advance to the Great Emperor realm as soon as possible, otherwise he will have a hard time dealing with danger and the siege of enemies.

Shiji began to make every effort to overcome the bottleneck period.

Time passed quietly and unconsciously.

Half a month later, Shi Ji's breakthrough was successfully completed.

Moreover, he unexpectedly obtained a treasure.

Shi Ji took out a golden fruit and swallowed it without hesitation. As soon as the golden fruit was absorbed, Shi Ji felt her soul greatly enhanced.

This feeling is like a seed containing boundless vitality being planted deep within the soul.

"What kind of fruit is this golden fruit? How can it bring about such amazing effects?" Shi Ji couldn't help but mutter to herself.

He found the fruit to be quite magical, perhaps only ordinary elixirs could possess such miraculous effects.

Of course, things like immortal herbs, elixirs, and fruits have similar effects, but compared to this golden fruit, their miraculous effects are far inferior.

Shi Ji carefully observed the golden fruit and found that it had a crystal-clear texture, but upon closer inspection, it appeared somewhat blurry, as if shrouded in a mysterious veil.

Shi Ji felt that this fruit must have a special effect, perhaps even a miraculous cure for injuries.

With a slight thought, Shi Ji unleashed a burst of flame from his palm.

That raging flame was none other than the incredibly powerful Burning Immortal Karmic Fire.

When the Burning Immortal Karmic Fire appeared, the golden fruit tree shook violently, as if it had been greatly frightened.

This golden fruit tree actually felt a sense of fear.

The Immortal Burning Flame is the king of all the strange flames in the world. This flame is domineering, fierce, and infinitely powerful.

Even Shi Ji herself dared not easily touch the Burning Immortal Karmic Fire, a strange fire, because once she came into contact with it, the pain was simply unbearable. Moreover, the Burning Immortal Karmic Fire was extremely rare.

Shi Ji unleashed the Immortal-Burning Flame to see if it could truly scare away the golden fruit tree.

The branches of the golden fruit tree trembled, emitting a glimmer of wisdom, which greatly surprised Shi Ji.

"Can you understand my language?" Shi Ji asked. (End of Chapter)
