Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

This large cauldron is none other than Shiji's natal magic treasure, the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

"Is this a Creation Furnace?" The King of the Underworld looked surprised.

Clearly, he recognized the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

"It's good that you recognize me. Just kneel down and beg for mercy, and I might spare your life."

Shi Ji burst into laughter, looked at the Underworld King, and said with a cold expression.

"Hmph, don't even think about it! If you let me go today, I will definitely seek revenge once I recover from my injuries!"

Shi Ji responded calmly, "Since that's the case, then there's no need for further words. Just unleash your strongest methods against me!"

Suddenly, the King of the Underworld conjured five jet-black daggers, each emanating a chilling aura.

Shi Ji felt threatened by death.

He realized that he had underestimated the King of the Underworld, who was originally thought to be too badly injured to move.

Therefore, Shi Ji didn't take him seriously at all.

Now that the Underworld King has fully recovered, his combat power has increased several times over.

They also control many powerful magical treasures.

How could Shiji dare to slack off in the slightest?
Therefore, when the King of the Underworld condensed five daggers, Shi Ji quickly activated the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique and unleashed the ninth form of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Fist—Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.

The 1.296 billion pieces of Sovereign Emperor Blood within Shi Ji's body ignited, causing his combat power to surge once again.

Shi Ji swung her fist at the Underworld King; the terrifying attack seemed to destroy the entire world.

The King of the Underworld sneered, "A mere ant dares to challenge me? How utterly foolish!"

The King of the Underworld made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand.

Suddenly, the void split open, and five daggers flew toward Shi Ji.

The five daggers moved with incredible speed, and Shi Ji didn't even have a chance to dodge before her head was severed.

"How could you break my Ancient Dragon Elephant Fist?" Shi Ji roared in frustration.

Although his physical body was destroyed, his soul did not perish and still exists in the world.

Shi Ji was indeed quite frightened just now.

The Netherworld King's strength was simply too heaven-defying; Shi Ji even suspected that his cultivation had reached the quasi-immortal realm.

If it were the soul of a quasi-immortal cultivator, Shi Ji wouldn't be worried, but the Netherworld King has clearly surpassed the quasi-immortal level. What realm is he in?
This greatly surprised Shi Ji.

The King of the Underworld seemed to see through Shi Ji's thoughts. He cast a mocking glance at Shi Ji and said sarcastically, "At such a young age, you have already entered the realm of life and death and Nirvana, and have also comprehended three forbidden arts. You have a bright future ahead of you!"

But unfortunately, you were destined to die young. A genius like you is destined to die young and be reincarnated early, so you wouldn't live long!

Shi Ji asked, "Why are you targeting me? Is it because of the people around me?"

The King of the Underworld said in a deep voice, "You talk too much nonsense. You will understand the reason after you die."

The King of the Underworld continued to wield five daggers, attacking Shi Ji.

Just as the five daggers were about to strike Shi Ji, a strange thing happened.

Shi Ji, who should have died, opened her eyes again.

The King of the Underworld roared in terror, his face filled with disbelief.

Shi Ji should have been completely reduced to ashes.

However, Shi Ji miraculously came back to life.

What exactly is going on? The King of the Underworld racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what secret was hidden behind this.

Shi Ji sneered and said, "Are you wondering why I'm still alive? To tell you the truth, I did die before, but at the moment of my death, I connected with the cycle of reincarnation of the Samsara Immortal Sect!"

I stepped into the cycle of reincarnation! Because of my strong will and exceptionally powerful soul, I managed to escape the cycle of reincarnation and return to my body.

Then, using my own soul, along with the Cycle of Reincarnation of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect, I cast the Gate of Reincarnation and summoned the Coffin of Reincarnation!

"These things are incredibly precious, but compared to life, they are utterly insignificant!"

"Furthermore, I suspect that the Netherworld Palace might also be one of the sects established by the Samsara Immortal Sect. I want to know why the Samsara Immortal Sect would create such an evil organization, and what conspiracy the Netherworld Palace is plotting?"

A cold, icy light flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

After hearing Shi Ji's words, the King of the Underworld was filled with horror. Clearly, he had not expected that Shi Ji would possess such two terrifying weapons.

Shi Ji sneered, "King of the Underworld, today I'll send you on your way to meet your ancestor and reunite with him!"

Three dazzling beams of light shot towards the Underworld King.

Those three beams of light were formed by the condensation of three beams of reincarnation light.

The King of the Underworld stared grimly at the three beams of reincarnation light that were hurtling towards him.

He opened his mouth and spat out a treasure: an oil lamp with mysterious runes swirling around it.

When the King of the Underworld took out the oil lamp, it instantly became enormous.

The oil lamp emitted three beams of light, blocking Shi Ji's attack.

Then, the oil lamp flew towards Shiji.

The King of the Underworld sneered, "Boy, your death is near! If you are willing to submit to me, I might spare your life!"

Shi Ji curled her lip and said, "You think you can subdue me with just a lamp? You're dreaming!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji raised her hand and threw out three stone eggs.

Three loud crashes rang out.

The three stone eggs exploded instantly, and then three powerful figures emerged.

A tall, robust man, a woman in flowing white robes, and a handsome young man.

These three powerful figures were none other than the three Stone Clan Ancestors who followed Shi Ji in conquering the Tianwu Continent.

"The Stone Clan?" The Underworld King raised an eyebrow slightly; he clearly knew something about the Stone Clan.

The Stone Men are a race known as immortal, having traversed the universe for countless years.

Their strength is beyond imagination.

However, the number of people in the Stone Man lineage is far too small.

Moreover, they rarely participate in fighting.

Unless it is the time of a cataclysmic disaster.

Only cultivators of the Stone Man lineage would dedicate themselves to this cause.

The three Stone Clan Ancestors of Shiji are all at the Stone Emperor level.

The three Stone Emperors joined forces to activate the cycle of reincarnation within the Samsara Immortal Sect.

How terrifying is that power?
When the Cycle of Reincarnation collided with the oil lamp, the Cycle of Reincarnation of the Immortal Sect actually suppressed the Netherworld Palace.

The Netherworld Palace was forced to prostrate itself in mid-air by the pressure of the Cycle of Reincarnation.

This is a force that the Netherworld Palace cannot contend with.

Countless creatures in the Netherworld Palace knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

A sense of awe for the Samsara Immortal Sect welled up from the depths of their souls.

This kind of awe is truly terrifying.

The King of the Underworld was also affected.

A look of fear crossed his face, and he quickly took out his jade tube.

A flash of light, and a figure appeared outside the valley. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.

It was an old man, whose aura was extremely terrifying.

After the old man appeared, he grabbed the King of the Underworld and carried him away into the distance, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shi Ji did not stop the Netherworld King from leaving. After all, the Netherworld King was a powerful figure at the Emperor level, and it would indeed be difficult to keep him. If the Netherworld King were allowed to leave, there would surely be endless troubles in the future.

However, since the Underworld King was already seriously injured, he would be difficult to recover in the short term. Shi Ji's mental state remained poor.

He suffered too much damage when he used the Cycle of Reincarnation, and now he needs to rest and recuperate.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged in the stone house, with several pieces of immortal crystal floating in front of her.

The Immortal Crystal Stone emitted a powerful energy fluctuation, and Shi Ji activated the Heaven-Mending Technique.

The vast energy rapidly merged into Shiji's body.

The Heaven-Mending Technique could replenish Shi Ji's losses. After practicing the Heaven-Mending Technique, Shi Ji's cultivation level improved extremely rapidly.

This is similar to the effect of other exercises.

The miraculous technique of mending the heavens, which has been passed down through the ages, is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. After practicing it, Shi Ji's cultivation level is rapidly increasing.

More than a day had passed by the time Shiji had fully recovered.

Shi Ji opened her eyes, and two dazzling beams of light instantly shot out from them.

"The matter of the Netherworld Palace is temporarily resolved. Let's continue our search for the Dragon Balls. Hopefully, they're in the Stone Clan's ancestral lands or the Stone Kingdom's capital; otherwise, we might never be able to gather them all!"

Shi Ji's face was gloomy.

He stood up and pushed open the door.

I plan to go to the ancestral home of the Stone Clan to find out more.

The ancestral land of the Stone Clan is extremely dangerous; even a quasi-emperor at the peak would face a near-death experience if they entered.

Not to mention Shiji?
Shi Ji even doubted that she even knew the location of the Shi clan's ancestral land.

But he still planned to explore and see if he could find the exact location of the Stone Clan's ancestral land.

After Shi Ji went out, she encountered Fire Crow Taoist, Fat Monk, Thin Monk, and others.

"Alliance Leader! Are you alright? I was so worried about you!"

The fat and thin monks rushed over to ask Shi Ji about it.

Shi Ji patted the fat and thin monks on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Then, he looked at Daoist Fire Crow and asked, "During my seclusion, has anything major happened?"

"Alliance Leader, something truly important has happened!"

"Oh? What is it?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

“Recently, a group of envoys from foreign forces have come to our Stone Clan’s territory. They seem to want to seize our Stone Clan’s lands and have even claimed that their backer is the Dark Demon Temple!”

"Dark Temple!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but frown.

He had heard of the Dark Temple, an extremely ancient force that was considered a giant in the starry world.

The people of the Dark Temple dared to come to this starry world; they are truly audacious.

"What do you think about this?" Shi Ji asked.

Fire Crow Taoist said with a wry smile, "I can't make that decision; it was decided by His Majesty the Stone Emperor!"

Shi Ji nodded and said, "Go and attend to your own business first!"

Then, Shi Ji looked at the four people—the fat and thin monks, the Poison Ancestor, the Evil Saint, and the Cursed Doll—and said, "Let's go for a stroll in the city!"

The four villains all nodded in agreement.

Shi Ji, accompanied by the four villains, strolled around the Shi Clan's territory.

Shi Ji discovered that the Shi tribe lived in a very beautiful environment, and although they were a single tribe, everyone had their own role.

Everyone has their own affairs arranged in an orderly manner.

The Stone Clan's methods of cultivation are very different from those of humans.

They combined spiritual practice with the cultivation of medicinal herbs.

Within the Stone Clan's territory lie rolling mountains, crystal-clear lakes, a myriad of flowers and grasses, and countless exotic birds and beasts. Everything here is like a series of beautiful paintings, a sight to behold that soothes the soul and makes one linger.

Shi Ji suddenly had a strange feeling, as if this place was another world.

They toured the Stone Clan's territory before finally returning to the inn.

"Young Master! I heard you killed the Palace Master of the Netherworld Palace? That's incredible! I've never seen such a powerful young expert before!"

Not long after Shiji returned to the inn, a waiter came over with a face full of admiration.

This waiter's name is Zhao Ergou.

I usually get along quite well with Shiji.

Because Shi Ji has a gentle temperament and a humble personality.

That's why Zhao Ergou liked to follow Shi Ji.

"Hehe, just lucky!" Shi Ji grinned.

"Good luck? If you weren't strong enough, who could have killed the Palace Master of the Netherworld Palace? And in an instant at that!"

Zhao Ergou said, "The people of the Netherworld Palace have always been arrogant and domineering. Now that they've suffered a loss, they certainly won't let it go. I estimate they'll come for revenge soon!"

Shi Ji said calmly, "So what? If he dares to come for revenge, we'll kill him again."

Zhao Ergou's eyes widened.

Shi Ji really speaks with a domineering air.

This person is different from others; everyone else is afraid of the Netherworld Palace.

Shi Ji, however, showed no fear of the Netherworld Palace.

"Young Master is truly impressive. As expected of the successor of the Stone Man Saint King, you are indeed quite domineering. You are worthy of being the successor chosen by the Stone Man Saint King. I admire you! I admire you!"

Zhao Ergou gave Shi Ji a thumbs up and praised her repeatedly.

He asked, "I remember you said your grandfather was a high-ranking official under Shi Di. Tell me, what kind of person is Shi Di?"

Zhao Ergou said, "My grandfather is the commander of the 38 million stone people army under the Stone Emperor. This army is known as the most powerful army of the Stone Clan, unless an earth-shattering event occurs."

Otherwise, my grandfather would never have left Shidi City!

Shi Ji asked, "What is your grandfather's level of cultivation?"

Zhao Ergou sighed and said, "My grandfather's cultivation is indeed powerful. He has already broken through to the Emperor Realm and is not far from becoming an immortal, but my grandfather's lifespan is not long!"

"My lifespan is running out?" Shi Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath.

What does a short lifespan mean?
This means that time is running out.

"Even a powerful figure like my grandfather has exhausted his life force, his physical body is beginning to decay, and his soul is on the verge of collapse, so his lifespan is running out!"

Once lifespan is exhausted, it means death is coming.

Shi Ji couldn't help but frown slightly.

He really didn't know how to save Zhao Ergou's grandfather.

At this moment, Zhao Ergou asked, "Where is my grandfather now?"

"He is currently in seclusion to heal his injuries, and he should still be in the process of healing at this moment."

"Young master, my grandfather's condition is very serious. Do you have any way to treat him?"

“Of course, but we need to prepare some materials,” Shi Ji said.

"What materials do you need? Just tell me, young master, and I'll go find them for you right away!" Zhao Ergou hurriedly said.

"List out these ingredients. Once I have them ready, I'll refine a pill to remove the deadly poison from your grandfather's body. If he recovers, he might even regain his former cultivation level!"

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" Zhao Ergou knelt down in front of Shi Ji, kowtowing repeatedly.

Shi Ji quickly helped Zhao Ergou up.

Shi Ji said, "Hurry up and prepare the materials! After a short rest, we'll head to the ancestral land of the Stone Clan. Since the Stone Emperor has sent me to participate in the competition, he must have his reasons, so I must go!" (End of Chapter)
