Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

The man stood in the ancient starry road, gazing at the sea of ​​stars, his expression indifferent.

That expression was as if he were looking down on ants.

The man's aura was extremely strange; his body seemed to be one with the void.

No matter how powerful Shi Ji's soul power was, she could not sense any fluctuations from that man.

"Could that man be the black-robed cultivator?"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

The black-robed cultivator had previously tracked down Shi Ji and nearly killed her.

Although they ultimately failed, the feud has been formed, and the two sides will inevitably meet again someday.

The mysterious expert seemed to be a peerless master, but Shi Ji had not yet ascertained his specific identity.

Since he is a peerless master, his true identity will surely be revealed soon.

"Let's go." Shi Ji concealed her aura and then darted towards the warship.

Shi Ji entered the cabin.

Inside the cabin, two people were sitting cross-legged, engaged in secluded cultivation.

Neither of them noticed Shi Ji entering.

Immediately afterward, Shi Ji exited the cabin and quickly left.

In the following days, Shiji encountered several more groups of people.

There are cultivators and demonic beasts.

Whenever she encountered those cultivators, as long as they didn't provoke Shi Ji, she would ignore them.

Shi Ji felt quite heavy-hearted.

He was worried about the safety of the four members of the Poison Ancestor group.

Shi Ji refined a total of nine jade tablets.

He took out all nine jade tablets and tried to contact the Poison Ancestor, hoping to make contact with the four members of the Poison Ancestor group.

However, unable to contact the four Poison Ancestors at all, Shi Ji couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

Having heard no news of the four Poison Ancestors for so long, he estimated that they were probably in grave danger.

After all, from the conversation between Shi Ji and the black-robed cultivator, he learned that the lives of the four Poison Ancestors were in the hands of the black-robed cultivator.

In other words, the lives of the four Poison Ancestors were all in the hands of the black-robed cultivator.

If the black-robed cultivator is determined to eliminate the four Poison Ancestors, it would not be difficult for him.

Shi Ji searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Poison Ancestor and his group, but the clues suddenly went cold, leaving him feeling frustrated.

Shi Ji had also planned to travel to the outer space world to find the four Poison Ancestors, but he doesn't want to take the risk now.

Shi Ji decided to return to Qingyun Prefecture City first, and then go and investigate further.

It took Shi Ji about half a year to finally return to Qingyun Prefecture.

Qingyun Prefecture remained unchanged, with nothing particularly noteworthy happening.

Over the years, Shi Ji has collected a batch of materials and used them to forge a piece of armor of immortal-grade quality.

Shi Ji, dressed in armor, walked into the auction house.

He went straight to the VIP room on the third floor.

"Sir, what would you like?" the maid asked with a smile.

Shi Ji said, "I've come to find a young lady!"

"Looking for a girl? What kind of girl are you looking for?" the maid asked with a smile.

“A beautiful fairy,” Shi Ji replied.

"Please wait a moment, and I will go and inform them for you!" the maid said.

She went into the next room and soon came out, smiling as she said, "Young master, you may now enter the VIP room. Our young lady is already waiting for you. May I ask which family you are from?"

"If you would be willing to reveal your name, young master, I can tell you mine!"

Shi Ji said, "Well, let's forget about it. What if I say something wrong? Wouldn't your young lady blame me?"

“Young master is truly intelligent. Since you refuse to reveal your surname and origin, I dare not ask any further!” the maid said.

Shi Ji followed the maid into the VIP room.

The VIP room is decorated in a simple yet elegant style, with a painting on the wall depicting a peerless beauty.

Shi Ji gazed at the peerless beauty in the painting, her eyes fixed on her for a long time.

The maidservant frowned slightly when she saw Shi Ji staring intently at the beautiful woman in the painting.

Shi Ji came to her senses and gave a wry smile.

He had just been transported into a dreamlike state, where the woman was breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that she left him bewildered. Shi Ji could hardly believe that such a beautiful woman existed in the world; the aura she exuded was simply stunning.

Even though Shi Ji had seen countless beauties, she had never seen such an exquisite beauty before; she was like a celestial maiden.

"Young Master." The maid called softly when she saw that Shi Ji's gaze was still fixed on the painting. But Shi Ji remained staring intently at the painting, which puzzled the maid.

At this moment, Shi Ji raised her head and said, "I suddenly remembered something. Could you give me a copy of this painting? I would like to make a rubbing to take back and study it slowly, and perhaps I can gain some insight."

"It is my honor." The maidservant quickly brought paper and pen and handed them to Shiji.

Shiji began making rubbings of the scroll.

After making the rubbings, he returned the scroll to the maid.

Afterwards, he wandered around the city, inquiring about the whereabouts of the Poison Ancestor and his group, but to no avail.

One day, a group of bandits stormed into Qingyun Prefecture and ransacked the shops without restraint, taking away all the treasures they could.

Even the residential buildings within Qingyun Prefecture were not spared.

After looting, the bandits swaggered away.

"Those bastards!" many people cursed angrily.

Shi Ji heard the curses of the people. He had been living in seclusion in the mountain village and knew nothing about the situation in Qingyun Prefecture, so he naturally did not know that Qingyun Prefecture had been looted.

The people were naturally furious to see the city looted.

Not only this city suffered, but several nearby cities were also looted.

Shi Ji frowned; these bandits were far too arrogant and domineering.

They dared to plunder a city right under the nose of the governor of Qingyun Prefecture; they certainly had a lot of nerve.

Shi Ji continued to observe the situation. He discovered that after the looting, a group of powerful men took action, killed all the bandits, and destroyed the bodies to cover their tracks.

Shi Ji guessed that the attackers must be a group of experts, but he didn't know exactly who they were. Shi Ji didn't linger there for long before continuing on her way.

Suddenly, a chilling killing intent swept towards Shi Ji.

This killing intent contained a powerful and oppressive aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Sensing the terrifying power of that killing intent, Shi Ji's expression turned solemn, and she became highly focused.

The void cracked open, and a dagger slashed towards Shi Ji.

The dagger was so sharp it could shatter the heavens.

Shi Ji swung her fist to meet the incoming dagger.

With a clang, Shi Ji successfully withstood the opponent's attack.

But he felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and his thumb and forefinger were almost shattered by the impact; it was an injury caused by the chill emanating from the dagger.

Shi Ji's pupils suddenly contracted. What a terrifying dagger!

Just then, another dazzling sword light hurtled towards Shi Ji.

The sword light contained destructive power that tore through the void in an instant, slashing towards Shi Ji. With a soft thud, Shi Ji's chest was pierced through.

Shi Ji was greatly surprised; the power of that attack was truly unimaginable.

"Who ambushed me? Show yourself now and fight me fairly!"

The void twisted, and a figure emerged. It was a man dressed in gray, his face covered, so his true appearance could not be seen.

The man in gray looked at Shi Ji with a mocking expression and said, "Your physical body is very strong, but your soul is too weak!"

"Are all you bandits good at is bullying the weak?" Shi Ji said indifferently.

"They're nothing but ants, not worth mentioning!"

"You bandits will die without a burial place sooner or later!" Shi Ji said through gritted teeth.

"Boy! Have you lost your mind? How dare you curse us to die without a burial place? Do you think you're a disciple of the Qingyun Sect?"

Shi Ji said with a sneer, "Unfortunately, I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect!"

The man in gray was stunned upon hearing this.

He originally planned to take advantage of Shi Ji's unpreparedness to kill her and then steal the storage ring.

He was extremely confident in his abilities, but he never expected that Shi Ji was also a top expert.

Shi Ji then swiftly flew away into the distance.

The gray-clad man was even faster. He blocked Shi Ji's path, his eyes flashing with a chilling killing intent: "Now that I've caught you, you'd better surrender obediently, so as not to waste everyone's energy!"

"With your cultivation level, you can't kill me!"

As soon as the words fell.

Shi Ji then unleashed his Thirty-Six Transformations, transforming into a towering giant. Following that, he used the Heaven-Mending Technique.

He vanished into the void without a trace.

The gray-clad man's face was extremely grim. He said coldly, "You can run away, but you can't hide! I will definitely find your trail soon, and then I will take your life!"

After saying that, the gray-clad man vanished in a flash, disappearing without a trace.

Shi Ji revealed himself, hovering in mid-air, gazing at the distant horizon with a calm expression: "I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ji flew towards the governor's mansion of Qingyun Prefecture.

"Halt! Who are you, thieves, daring to trespass here?" Two cultivators outside the governor's mansion shouted sternly upon seeing Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's face darkened.

He strode towards the outside of the governor's mansion.

These two guards were merely cultivators at the Emperor Realm; it wouldn't be difficult for Shi Ji to eliminate them silently.

However, considering that these two men were merely gatekeepers, tampering with them might negatively impact her plans. Therefore, Shi Ji ultimately decided to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​killing the two guards.

He entered the governor's mansion and came to a beautifully blooming garden. He found a secluded corner and sat down cross-legged. He took out the Immortal Spirit Crystal he had mined from the Immortal Spirit Stone vein and began to cultivate.

The effects of the Immortal Crystal are simply miraculous; after consuming it, it is comparable to a magic pill.

Its benefits to cultivation are immeasurable.

Although this item is precious, it is also graded.

The Immortal Spirit Crystals that Shi Ji needs for her cultivation are of extremely low grade, which is why they are easy to obtain.

Once Shi Ji breaks through to the Quasi-Immortal realm, the Immortal Spirit Crystal's effectiveness for her will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Shi Ji urgently needs to improve her cultivation level at this moment.

Time flies, and before we knew it, night had quietly fallen.

Shi Ji felt that his cultivation had reached the edge of a breakthrough, and he planned to go into seclusion early the next morning to try to break through to the Emperor realm.

The following morning, after Shiji emerged from the pass, she immediately began her closed-door cultivation to break through to the next level.

"Huh? No one came to assassinate me last night?"

Suddenly, Shi Ji opened her eyes, her expression changing slightly.

He sensed that many auras were locking onto him, clearly someone was watching him, but he couldn't sense the other party's true form.

"Could they be assassins sent by the Qingzhou Prefecture?"

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow. He carefully sensed his surroundings, but still found nothing.

"Fine! Who cares if they're assassins sent by Qingzhou Prefecture? Let's deal with them first!"

Shi Ji thought to herself, then got up and walked out of the mansion.

A young monk dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat was standing outside.

He was tall and imposing, exuding a cold aura.

"Who are you? Why are you following me so suspiciously?" Shi Ji asked.

"Your Excellency is the son of the Governor of Qingzhou!"

The man in the black cloak said, then took out a token and handed it to Shi Ji.

After verifying the authenticity of the token, Shi Ji put it away and then coldly asked, "I don't know you at all, why are you following me?"

"I am here to protect you on the orders of the princess!" said the man in the black cloak.

"Princess? Princess Consort?" Shi Ji was taken aback. Apart from Liu Ruoxi, the daughter of the governor, who was a woman, the princess in Qingzhou Prefecture was a man, and an old man at that.

Why would they send an old man to protect them?
Who exactly is this man in the black cloak?
Shi Ji's doubts grew stronger.

He asked, "Did your princess send you?"

“Exactly.” The man in the black cloak nodded.

Shi Ji then asked, "If I am in danger now, may I ask your princess for help?"

The man in the black cloak shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work, because our princess has left the city on business."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's lips twitched slightly; it seemed she had been tricked.

This feeling is really unpleasant.

"Does your princess know my father?" Shi Ji continued to ask.

"I don't know about that." The man in the black cloak shook his head.

Shi Ji rolled her eyes. It seemed she had wasted her breath; this guy wouldn't reveal much about the Princess of Qingzhou.

Shi Ji then asked, "Where exactly is your Qingzhou princess now? What is her name?"

"Our princess is currently in seclusion deep within the Tianshan Mountains of Qingzhou! Her name is Liu Ruoxi!" said the man in the black cloak.

"The Tianshan Mountains." Shi Ji frowned; he had never heard of this area before.

“I need to go to the Tianshan Mountains, will you take me there?” Shi Ji said.

“That’s probably not a good idea!” said the man in the black cloak.

"What's wrong with that? If you don't agree, don't blame me for being impolite!" Shi Ji said calmly.

He planned to use the Dragon Rabbit to hypnotize the guy.

Dragon Rabbit is skilled in hypnosis, so hypnotizing these cultivators would be an easy task for it.

However, the dragon rabbit in Shiji has not yet been awakened.

Shi Ji had reservations. If she were to awaken the Dragon Rabbit at this moment, the black-cloaked cultivator might discover the Dragon Rabbit's secret.

If the dragon and rabbit were to fall into enemy hands, that would be absolutely not what Shi Ji wanted.

Therefore, Shiji decided not to let the dragon rabbit wake up for the time being.

The black-cloaked monk gave a wry smile, then summoned a warship.

This warship is a powerful magic weapon of a very high grade.

Shi Ji boarded the warship, and the black-clad cultivator steered it away from the Marquis's residence. (End of Chapter)
