Only now did Shi Ji fully understand the preciousness of the Poison Dragon King's inner core.

Its value far exceeds what Shiji could have imagined.

Shi Ji continued to study the new runes, but found that although these runes were mysterious and unpredictable, he could not understand them at all.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Sure enough, the further he cultivated, the more difficult it became to comprehend the runes.

However, this did not pose a significant problem for Shi Ji, as he was still able to crush his enemies with his formidable cultivation level.

Shi Ji cut the carcass of the venomous scorpion beast into pieces of flesh and began to stew it.

The flesh and blood of the scorpion beast contain rich life essence, and if it is stewed and eaten, it will be of great benefit to one's body.

After processing enough of the scorpion beast's flesh and blood, Shi Ji left the small world and returned to the starry sky world.

He arrived at the place where the Demon Lord lived, only to find the Demon Lord still sitting there cross-legged, resting with his eyes closed.

Shi Ji stepped forward to greet her: "Senior, how have you been lately?"

The Demon Lord remained calm and said in a light tone, "It's alright. I've recovered quite a bit during this time, and we can leave this starry world now!"

Upon hearing the Demon Lord's words, Shi Ji was overjoyed.

This time, the Demon Lord really did Shi Ji a big favor.

Over the years, Shiji has also gained many opportunities.

His cultivation level has greatly improved.

But Shi Ji knew in her heart that no matter how many opportunities she had, her accumulated foundation was far from comparable to that of the Demon Lord.

Shi Ji always accompanied the Demon Lord.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Shi Ji followed the Demon Lord on a journey to find the Golden Emperor's Coffin.

Legend has it that the Golden Imperial Coffin contains the most mysterious treasures of the Golden Ocean World.

Therefore, when news of the appearance of the Golden Emperor's Coffin spread, powerful figures from all walks of life emerged from seclusion to compete for it.

That night, the two stopped to rest on an island.

Suddenly, the Demon Lord's voice rang out: "Boy, we're in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's expression immediately darkened, and she asked, "What trouble?"

The demon lord said, "I've detected several warships tracking us!"

"Whose faction is this?" Shi Ji frowned.

Having not seen each other for so long, Shi Ji naturally knew who was chasing her.

It was the forces of the Dark Empire, a force of considerable power, who also possessed a quasi-immortal artifact-level magic weapon.

Shi Ji had a grudge against the Dark Empire, so he naturally dared not be careless towards the cultivators of the Dark Empire. If he were discovered by them, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

"We haven't figured it out yet," the Demon Lord said.

Shi Ji sneered and said, "Who cares who they are? Since they dare to intercept us, let's make sure they don't leave alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Lord vanished without a trace.

Not long after, Shiji saw five warships flying towards them.

"So that's who ambushed us halfway! It was that stinky snake!"

A cold voice suddenly came from behind.

Five warships sped toward this direction.

Soon, five warships stopped in front of Shiji and the Demon Lord.

“People from the Dark Empire,” Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise.

The Demon Lord said, "They seem to be members of the royal family of the Dark Empire, but I have a feeling they're also after the Golden Emperor's Coffin. I wonder what's buried inside?"

Shi Ji asked, "What is buried in the golden imperial coffin?"

"I don't know!" the Demon Lord said.

Shi Ji couldn't help but roll her eyelids.

Is this Demon Lord deliberately teasing me?
"Hand over the Golden Emperor's Coffin, and I'll spare your lives; otherwise, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

A cold voice came from one of the warships.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and said, "I discovered the Golden Emperor's Coffin first. Why should I give it to you? Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?"

"presumptuous!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators flew into a rage.

Immediately afterwards, they spurred their warships and launched a fierce attack on Shiji.

A dense barrage of attacks rained down on Shiji from all directions.

Shi Ji stood in the void, letting those powerful attacks come at her.

When the attacks struck Shi Ji, a loud crash resounded.

All those terrifying attacks were shattered.

At this moment, Shi Ji rushed towards the five warships.

"Not good! Run!" The leader of the cultivators turned pale the moment he saw Shi Ji charging towards them.

He turned and ran, but he forgot that Shi Ji was much faster than him.

Shi Ji unleashed a punch, shattering the leader of the cultivators.

Seeing this, the others fled into the distance.

But they were destined to be unable to escape.

Shi Ji drew her stone sword and slashed at the cultivators.

With a series of tearing sounds, cultivators were killed by Shi Ji.

Shi Ji then collected the storage rings of those cultivators.

He searched their storage rings but found nothing unusual.

Immediately, he concealed his aura.

Then fly out quickly.

A day later, Shi Ji left this desolate place and came to a mountain range to rest.

The Demon Lord, on the other hand, immersed himself in deep cultivation.

Shi Ji plans to wait until tomorrow morning to set off to find the Golden Emperor's Coffin, since the Demon Lord needs time to recover his strength.

Shi Ji took out the ancient map and examined it carefully. He felt that the matter of the Golden Emperor's Coffin was not so simple.

"This is..." Shi Ji frowned slightly after carefully studying the ancient map of the golden imperial coffin.

The ancient map was covered with many lines. After careful analysis, Shi Ji finally confirmed that the lines should represent a kind of array pattern or restriction.

Shi Ji studied it for a long time, and eventually his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Shi Ji exclaimed excitedly, "The lines here are clearly the same lines from the ruins of the Golden Palace! Could it be that these ruins of the Golden Palace really hold some secrets?"

Thinking of this, Shi Ji became excited. Although she didn't know the specifics yet, she at least guessed that there must be great treasures inside this Golden Imperial Palace ruins.

If we could get our hands on those treasures in the Golden Palace, that would be an incredible stroke of luck.

With these treasures, Shi Ji could definitely break through to a higher realm.

Shi Ji continued to study the array patterns on the ancient diagram. These patterns were extremely ancient, and it took him three whole days to decipher them.

That night, Shi Ji devoted two more days to research and finally completely understood the array pattern.

He incorporated this array pattern into a virtual array diagram that he had created.

On the illusory array that Shi Ji had set up, mysterious runes flickered incessantly.

The illusory array rapidly expanded.

When the array diagram expanded to a size of a thousand feet, it stopped expanding.

Shi Ji tried to manipulate the array diagram, first shrinking it to the size of a palm, and then quickly enlarging it.

At this point, the array diagram had shrunk to about one meter in size.

"It's done!"

Shi Ji's face was beaming with joy.

Subsequently, Shi Ji began to construct a new illusory array.

Once the new illusory array is constructed, its power is greatly enhanced.

Because this method could significantly enhance the power of the array, Shi Ji continued to use it to construct illusory arrays.

By the next day, Shi Ji had constructed six illusory arrays. The power of these six illusory arrays was also quite astonishing.

On the third day, Shi Ji successfully constructed nine more illusory arrays, all of which were extremely powerful.

Before long, Shi Ji completed the construction of the nine illusory array diagrams.

Shi Ji planned to use these nine illusory array diagrams to set up a super array, just then, the Demon Lord awoke.

Shi Ji imprinted the nine illusory array diagrams she had constructed into the Demon Lord's mind.

The demon lord stared at the illusory array diagram, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"This is a grand illusionary formation that unites our powers!"

"Alright, let's unleash the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation together!"

Then, they sat cross-legged in the void, and Shi Ji and the Demon Lord began to activate the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation.

The two activated the great formation, and their two powerful forces merged together, each sensing the other's strength.

At this moment, Shi Ji imprinted the core array pattern of the Nine-Nine Return to One Great Array into the Demon Lord's soul world.

Then, the Demon Lord began to mobilize the magical power within the soul world.

The demon lord mobilizes the energy formed by the convergence of the magic power of the soul world and the magic power of the physical body.

Shi Ji, on the other hand, mobilized the power of her essence and blood.

Each side holds half.

However, Shi Ji's magic power governs everything.

As Shi Ji continuously mobilized her internal magical power, a steady stream of magical power poured into the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation.

The Nine-Nine Return to One Formation immediately burst forth with dazzling light.

After that light shone on the great formation.

The void began to tremble, and the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation was instantly triggered.

Terrifying waves of energy emanated from the great formation.

The energy of the Nine-Nine Return to One Array surged wildly, and then, endless magical power began to be compressed.

A series of muffled, loud noises echoed in the void.

The void within a radius of one million miles distorted.

That distorted space seemed unable to withstand the energy contained within the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation.

Shi Ji even heard the sound of the void exploding.

This greatly surprised Shi Ji, because the power unleashed by the Nine-Nine Returning to One Formation was truly astonishing.

The power of this grand formation is absolutely enough to destroy everything in the world.

At this moment, countless runes appeared in the void, and when these runes intertwined...

Gradually, they formed a portal, which was surrounded by endless celestial light.

Beyond the gate, there seemed to be a hidden world, filled with a rich sense of life.

Shi Ji's eyes widened instantly; he sensed the breath of life.

Is there another world behind the portal?

From that door, a stone tablet flew out, with four characters written on it.

"Burial Immortal Terrace!"

These characters are in ancient seal script.

"The Burial Platform," Shi Ji murmured to himself, his heart pounding. Could this place be the burial ground of a peerless master? Otherwise, why would it be called the Burial Platform?

Where exactly is this place?
"Let's go and take a look!"

Shi Ji nodded and led the Demon Lord forward at high speed.

Soon, Shi Ji arrived at the Burial Platform.

"Indeed, this is a place that buries powerful figures. There are many corpses of cultivators here. It seems that back then, many celestial court forces descended into the Abyss of Death."

Then some powerful beings perished here. However, those powerful beings did not leave behind any legacy, or they simply perished here after their fall, without having time to leave any legacy.

Hopefully, we'll find some opportunities here!

Shi Ji searched the vicinity of the Burial Platform and found that the area around the altar was piled with densely packed skeletons, which exuded a terrifying pressure.

Moreover, Shi Ji unexpectedly discovered the tomb of the gods, something that only appears in mythological stories.

"Hey, there seems to be a tomb here?"

Among a pile of bones, he spotted a tomb.

Shi Ji and the Demon Lord arrived at the tomb.

The demon lord probed the tomb with his divine sense to investigate.

After a while, the demon lord withdrew his divine sense.

His face was grim as he said, "I sense a familiar presence."

"A familiar aura?" Shi Ji asked in confusion.

"Yes, it is indeed a familiar aura. This aura is related to me; it might be my father, but it might not be!"

This greatly shocked Shi Ji.

The Demon Lord's father?
The Demon Lord is a human.

But now he says that his father might be a demon beast, which fills Shi Ji with doubt.

Shi Ji asked, "Were your parents human or demon?"

The demon lord shook his head and said, "I don't know either. My memories of when I was born are still very vague!"

"Perhaps I will be able to remember whether my parents were human or demon when my memories gradually return."

Shi Ji nodded slightly and continued, "Let's find that place first."

Shi Ji and the Demon Lord flew away together into the distance.

After flying for about five days, Shiji arrived at a valley in a mountain range.

The valley was shrouded in mist, giving it an extremely eerie and terrifying feel.

Shi Ji's face grew paler and paler; he had a feeling that something dangerous was watching him.

And these dangerous things,

Hidden in the mist, it awaits its chance to strike.

Shi Ji summoned the Nine Cauldrons Prison-Suppressing Immortal Furnace.

He levitated the Nine Cauldrons Prison-Suppressing Immortal Furnace above his head, channeling all his defensive power into it.

This treasure has terrifying attack power.

Shi Ji planned to activate the Nine Cauldrons Prison Immortal Furnace to launch an attack.

Even a quasi-emperor level expert would have to give way to a treasure like the Nine Cauldrons Prison-Suppressing Immortal Furnace.

Shi Ji was worried that those strange and ferocious creatures might suddenly attack her, so she summoned the Nine Cauldrons Prison-Suppressing Immortal Furnace to protect herself.

At that moment, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Something was watching them.

Shi Ji drew her Black Dragon Sword, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, and said coldly, "Come out! Stop sneaking around in the shadows. You can't hurt me by hiding like this!"

The void trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, an old man dressed in a green robe and holding a whisk appeared.

Shi Ji took a closer look and was stunned.

It turned out to be that old man.

The old man in the green robe had left not long ago.

Shi Ji never expected that he would come back.

When the old man in the green robe saw Shi Ji, he glanced at her indifferently before his gaze settled on the nine cauldrons behind her.

Shi Ji immediately understood why the old man in green robes had suddenly appeared here.

Clearly, the old man in green robes was after the Nine Cauldrons.

"What are you doing here?"

The old man in green robes said, "Little brat, this is my territory. It's not your place to question me. Leave now, or you'll anger me!"

"Hmph." Shi Ji sneered. This guy was utterly arrogant. (End of Chapter)
