Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Shi Ji took out talismans and sealed the various materials from the ancient beast one by one, then put them into her storage ring.

The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and Shi Ji did not encounter any overly powerful ferocious beasts to hinder her progress.

Finally, Shiji reached the deepest part of the journey.

Deep within, Shi Ji saw a suspended mountain peak. Dense, swirling runes covered its surface. And in the void atop the suspended mountain peak, a cultivator sat cross-legged.

In a daze, Shi Ji felt as if she were seeing a scene where a man, like an invincible emperor, sat firmly in the sky, looking down on the world.

This man must be that mysterious and enigmatic powerful figure.

"Could he be the Hongjun Ancestor?" Shiji murmured to herself.

He flew towards the suspended mountain peak, and the closer he got, the more he could feel the terrifying fluctuations emanating from it.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the suspended mountain peak trembled violently, and an extremely terrifying aura spread out.

It seems that something is hidden inside this suspended mountain peak, and this terrifying aura is emanating from within. The mountain peak is also shrouded in a layer of binding magnetic field.

Shi Ji tried to break free from the oppressive magnetic field, but he failed.

This binding magnetic field is ridiculously powerful and impossible to break. Unless Shi Ji can break through to the Quasi-Immortal realm, it will be very difficult to shatter this binding magnetic field.

Shi Ji's face instantly darkened. He had originally thought that there might be a great opportunity waiting for him here, but now he realized that this was not the place of opportunity he had imagined at all, but perhaps a test set up by some powerful figure.

Shi Ji withdrew, but he did not leave.

He observed for several more days, but still gained nothing. In the end, Shiji decided to leave the place.

"There seems to be something on that mountain peak."

Just then, Shi Ji was startled. He discovered a strange area halfway up the suspended mountain peak. The magnetic field there was extremely chaotic, and as soon as Shi Ji stepped into it, he was instantly pulled into a separate little world by the magnetic field.

In this small world, thunder roared and endless lightning bolts struck Shi Ji.

Shi Ji hurriedly summoned the power of the Dark Age to protect herself, and then quickly fled into the distance.

But soon, a dense barrage of lightning formed a thunder barrier, trapping Shi Ji inside.

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and Shi Ji's magical power was severely depleted. Helpless, he had no choice but to summon the stone sword to resist the lightning tribulation.

A series of loud crackling sounds rang out as the stone sword endured the intense lightning strikes, quickly becoming covered in cracks and on the verge of shattering.

With a series of cracking sounds, the stone sword shattered completely.

Shi Ji dared not delay and quickly retreated, then unleashed the Devouring Black Hole. The Devouring Black Hole attracted the lightning and devoured its power, finally freeing Shi Ji from the lightning tribulation.

However, the tribulation did not end there; it continued to brew.

This buildup lasted for three days. Finally, a bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, condensed and struck directly at Shi Ji.

Seeing the thick bolt of lightning strike, Shi Ji's face showed horror. This lightning tribulation contained destructive power, as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth.

Shi Ji quickly used the Heaven-Mending Technique, but his body still instantly cracked open, and blood gushed out. However, this also neutralized the energy contained within the lightning.

Shi Ji couldn't help but curse, but then a look of joy appeared on his face. Although this tribulation was extremely dangerous, he had gained quite a few benefits.

First, he cultivated a second dantian, and the two dantians merged together. Now, Shi Ji feels that her strength has increased several times over.

Secondly, Shi Ji discovered that his soul essence had also increased significantly. When he broke through to the Emperor Realm on the Tianwu Continent, his soul essence had not yet reached the Emperor Lord level, but now, it had surpassed the Emperor Lord level and even faintly touched the Immortal Lord level.

This shows how amazing Shiji's harvest has been during this period.

Shi Ji took out a fruit and ate it. This fruit was the Fruit of Life, a treasure belonging to the healing category. Consuming the Fruit of Life has an extremely significant effect on internal injuries.

After the Fruit of Life entered her stomach, the scalding liquid instantly flowed to her limbs and bones, and Shi Ji's injuries in various parts of her body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shi Ji activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique and began refining the medicinal power of the Fruit of Life. This process was not long, because the effects of the Fruit of Life were too domineering and intense, so it took a certain amount of time to completely refine these medicinal powers.

After the medicinal effects were fully refined, Shi Ji's injuries were basically healed.

Shi Ji slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, the lightning completely dissipated.

The sky gradually cleared, revealing a clear and bright appearance.

Shi Ji flapped his wings and flew towards a distant mountain range, intending to find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion.

After searching for a long time in the mountains, Shi Ji finally found a secluded valley, and then he used his skills to set up a restriction.

After making the arrangements, Shi Ji sat cross-legged deep in the valley. Around him, fifty-six quasi-immortal level magical treasures floated and swirled, along with three jade tablets that floated silently.

These three jade tablets are no ordinary items; they respectively record three unparalleled martial arts techniques: the Nine Yin Manual, the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Returning to the Origin Hand.

Both the Nine Yin Manual and the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power are defensive quasi-immortal techniques with astonishing power. The Myriad Buddhas Returning to the Origin Hand, on the other hand, is an auxiliary quasi-immortal divine power. Shi Ji pondered that perhaps she could comprehend a powerful divine power from either the Nine Yin Manual or the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power, which would greatly enhance her combat strength.

Shi Ji began to comprehend the Nine Yin Manual and the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power.

Soon, two completely different spells appeared in his mind at the same time, which greatly surprised him.

"What's going on? How can there be two completely different techniques?" Shi Ji frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, she decided to try cultivating both techniques to see which one was more suitable for her. After all, if she could choose a technique that suited her, she would definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and reap unexpected benefits.

However, to Shi Ji's dismay, both methods had their merits, and he found it difficult to choose.

This really troubled Shiji. Two completely different methods were right in front of her, like standing at a crossroads, not knowing which way to go. What should she do?
Do we really have to practice every single technique? But that would inevitably delay our progress.

But if we don't do that, what path should we take to continue our cultivation?
Shi Ji fell into deep thought, trying to figure out the reason, but it was not an easy task.

Just then, Shi Ji suddenly felt as if his soul essence was being drawn by some mysterious force. Following this force, he saw that his soul essence was drifting towards a purple jade pendant floating in mid-air.

The jade pendant was enveloped in a purple aura, rising and swirling, and that special power emanated from it. Could this purple jade pendant be the cultivation manual for the Nine Yin Manual?
This conjecture greatly surprised Shi Ji. She knew that the Nine Yin Profound Art was a technique left behind by a quasi-immortal; if one could master it, its power would be terrifyingly immense. Without hesitation, Shi Ji quickly reached out and grabbed the purple jade pendant.

The moment the jade pendant touched her, a strange fluctuation surged into Shi Ji's body. Immediately afterwards, countless runes appeared in Shi Ji's sea of ​​consciousness, and these runes automatically combined to form the incantation of the Nine Yin Manual.

"Nine Yin Mystic Art, Yin and Yang in Harmony!"

"All things return to their origin, Yin and Yang merge, Yin and Yang create all things, Heaven and Earth are infinite, and chaos was first divided."

Shi Ji silently recited the incantation, and many images appeared in her mind. In the images, an old man was practicing the Nine Yin Manual.

The Nine Yin Manual truly lived up to its reputation as a heaven-defying technique. When Shi Ji observed it, she felt as if she was about to step into a completely new realm.

"Is this the true meaning of the Nine Yin Manual?" Shi Ji murmured to himself, the shock that the Nine Yin Manual brought him was beyond words.

"This Nine Yin Profound Technique is truly unbelievable." Shi Ji couldn't help but sigh. As expected of a technique created by a quasi-immortal powerhouse, it is indeed extraordinary.

Shi Ji studied it carefully and discovered that the essence of the Nine Yin Profound Skill lies in the unity of the Nine Yin, and that when cultivated to a high level, one can condense the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram.

However, with Shi Ji's current strength, he is not yet able to achieve the Nine Yin Unity, but he has seen hope.

After memorizing the entire Nine Yin Manual, Shi Ji stopped studying it and her gaze involuntarily fell on the jade pendant floating in mid-air. She thought to herself, "I always feel that this jade pendant is intricately connected to the Nine Yin Manual, but I can't quite put my finger on what that connection is. I suspect that this jade pendant is the core inheritance of the Nine Yin Manual! If I can obtain the core inheritance, I can quickly master the Nine Yin Manual."

Although Shi Ji wanted to seize the inheritance within the jade pendant, she was also worried that the pendant contained a terrifying binding power, and once trapped, it would be difficult to break free.

After much deliberation, Shi Ji decided to remain inactive for now and try to seize it once she reached the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races. If successful, she could use the core inheritance to quickly cultivate the Nine Yin Profound Art.

At this moment, Shi Ji's soul returned to her body, but she felt unwell all over. Her body seemed to be cursed, emitting black smoke, and her soul body was also about to collapse.

"What terrifying curse power! If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be cursed to death on the spot." Shi Ji gasped, then smiled bitterly. It seems that she will have to be more careful in the future.

Fortunately, Shi Ji has a resilient spirit; otherwise, she might have lost her life just now.

Thinking of this, Shi Ji's face lit up with excitement again.

The power of the Nine Yin Manual is truly astonishing. If one could cultivate this skill to its peak, it would be nothing short of defying the heavens.

Back then, when Jiuyin Xuangong cultivated the Nine Yin Profound Art, he had already attained the status of Emperor and become an Immortal. However, it is unknown to what level he had cultivated this art to.

But no matter what level he cultivated to, Jiuyin Xuangong was undoubtedly a peerless powerhouse who roamed the universe and commanded respect from all directions.

Shi Ji secretly set a goal in his heart: to follow in the footsteps of Jiuyin Xuangong, climb to the peak of martial arts, and return to the ancient forest of the primordial wilderness to kill the evil Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Thinking of the various bizarre methods previously used by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, a chilling glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. It's best to leave quickly, lest the Heavenly Demon Emperor notice something and descend again, in which case our lives will be in danger!"

Shi Ji dared not linger in the cave. He quickly left the cave and sped away.

This place is about thirty miles away from the bronze palace. After flying dozens of miles away, Shi Ji suddenly heard a scream.

His expression suddenly changed.

Logically speaking, this place should be only a few hundred meters away from the trap previously set by the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

But at that moment, screams rang out, clearly indicating that something had happened.

Shi Ji quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction from which the screams came. When he arrived at the area, he saw dozens of Heavenly Demon Clan cultivators lying haphazardly on the ground, all of them killed, their corpses completely destroyed. This scene sent chills down Shi Ji's spine.

Who exactly committed this heinous act?
Shi Ji vaguely felt that this matter might be inextricably linked to the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor's trap had failed, and he was likely enraged, so he personally killed these Heavenly Demons.

The cultivation levels of these demons were all sealed by the Demon Emperor using special methods. Even though they were powerful, they could not escape the fate of being annihilated.

With a flash of light, a precious sword descended from the sky and plunged into the earth.

The sword was shrouded in a bloodthirsty aura. Upon seeing it, Shi Ji couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The Blood Fiend Sword! This is actually the legendary Blood Fiend Sword!"

Shi Ji never expected that a Blood Fiend Sword was buried beneath the mountains.

It is said that this Blood Fiend Sword is extremely terrifying; no matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will perish instantly upon encountering it.

Even quasi-immortals, or even quasi-immortal kings, are unwilling to easily provoke this deadly weapon.

"The Blood Fiend Sword! It's actually the legendary Blood Fiend Sword! Unbelievable!"

Shi Ji was amazed.

He held the Blood Fiend Sword in his hand and swung it gently. The sword made a clanging sound, like metal clashing.

He continued to examine the Blood Fiend Sword, finding it truly extraordinary. However, the magic array here sealed the Blood Fiend Sword's embryo, preventing it from breaking free for the time being.

If the seal were broken, the Blood Fiend Sword could easily tear through the void and escape. However, Shi Ji did not intend to take the Blood Fiend Sword's embryo at this moment, as it was too precious, and she would regret it if it escaped.

Shi Ji planned to leave the vicinity of the Blood Fiend Sword's embryo and find a secluded place to cultivate the Nine Yin Profound Art in seclusion.

However, after wandering around the area twice, he still couldn't find a suitable place to retreat in seclusion.

This frustrated Shi Ji, and he eventually decided to turn back. But when he returned, he was stunned.

Shi Ji frowned slightly, wondering: Why are there no Heavenly Demons here?
Previously, this valley was teeming with demons, but now not a single one can be seen.

Shi Ji frowned slightly. What exactly was going on?

Could it be that the demons discovered us? And that's why they left this place beforehand?

Shi Ji didn't believe that the Heavenly Demons would retreat so easily. He guessed that some terrible change must have occurred here to cause the Heavenly Demons to retreat.

He tried searching his surroundings, but the magnetic field here was so chaotic that he couldn't lock onto any target. (End of Chapter)
