Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Just as Shi Ji was about to explain, suddenly,
He sensed two terrifying auras surging in from different directions.

The two auras enveloped Nangong Lingwei and Shiji respectively.

Shi Ji's expression changed drastically; indeed, danger lurked here.

Nangong Lingwei's face was ashen.

She also sensed the terror emanating from the two auras.

Nangong Lingwei gritted her teeth and said, "Young Master! I know you are a good person! Please, please save me!"

Shi Ji said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not a good person. I just happened to be passing by and discovered this Flame Lotus! Because of you, I've been lingering here for a long time."

If you have urgent business, please leave first. Don't worry about my safety. My combat strength may not be as good as yours, but my methods of self-preservation are far superior!

What Shi Ji said was true.

He has recently received many blessings, and his combat power has reached its peak.

With the added power of the Ninefold Dragon-Elephant Arm and the Stone Talisman, he certainly possessed the strength to contend with a Celestial King.

Shi Ji possesses the Great Devouring Technique, which ranks fifth among the Three Thousand Great Daos, and also a terrifying divine power called the Myriad Demon Diagram, which is also among the Three Thousand Great Daos.

With his powerful physique, he was confident he could escape from those two beings.

If Nangong Lingwei insists on following, Shiji will definitely not abandon her.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Shi Ji waved her hand, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to rest.

He began to absorb the fire energy from the Flame Lotus.

The fiery energy was quickly absorbed by Shi Ji, and as the energy was continuously absorbed, the golden figure in Shi Ji's dantian grew larger and larger.

"What a powerful flame."

Shi Ji opened her eyes, a look of ecstatic joy flashing in them.

That intense heat had not yet dissipated.

Shi Ji felt her body filled with endless energy.
I can't wait to break through to the next level.

But he suppressed the urge to break through.

He planned to find a secluded place to undergo his tribulation.

After all, this place is far too dangerous.

Shi Ji led Nangong Lingwei through the void, searching for a place to undergo tribulation.

Finally, they arrived at a valley.

The valley was filled with a sinister and terrifying aura of death.

It appears to be a restricted area.

The surrounding vegetation had long been destroyed.

Shi Ji stopped halfway up the mountain and said, "We will undergo our tribulation here!"

"Very well, we will do as you say, young master!"

Nangong Lingwei nodded, then looked at Shiji.

"This Divine Essence Grass is yours!"

Shi Ji flicked her fingers and sent the Divine Essence Grass to Nangong Lingwei.

Nangong Lingwei took the Divine Essence Grass and carefully put it away.

Then, she took out a storage ring and handed it to Shi Ji, saying, "This contains the spirit crystals I've accumulated over the years. I hope it will be of some help to you, young master!"

This girl is quite thoughtful and considerate.

Shi Ji accepted the storage ring that Nangong Lingwei offered without any hesitation.

Next, Shi Ji began setting up the array, then took out the flaming lotus and plucked it.
It was placed on the altar.

As soon as the flaming lotus was placed, it generated violent fluctuations.

It began to spin rapidly.
It eventually transformed into a tiny fire sprite.

The fire sprite flew towards Shiji.

It eventually burrowed into his body.

In an instant, Shi Ji felt her blood boil.

That unbearable burning sensation caused him immense suffering.

Shi Ji gritted her teeth and endured it.

About ten minutes later, the burning sensation gradually dissipated.

At this moment, Shi Ji was pleasantly surprised to find that her cultivation level had actually increased from the third level of Celestial Master to the fourth level.

Although it was only a two-level promotion
However, each level of cultivation advancement requires a significant amount of resources.

If it were anyone else, would they be able to break through to this level?

Even if one cultivates diligently for thousands or tens of thousands of years, success is not guaranteed.

But Shiji did it easily.
Moreover, they broke through twice in a row.

This is extremely rare.

After the small flame left her body, Shi Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Shi Ji took out another precious sword.

This precious sword is an imperial weapon of extraordinary quality, named the Nine Nether Cold Iron Sword.

It was found by Shi Ji in ancient ruins, and its power is astonishing.

Shi Ji once used this sword to kill hundreds of alien creatures.

At this moment, he drew the sword once again.

It resonates with Shiji's heart.

Shi Ji brandished the Nine Nether Cold Iron Sword in her hand.

Instantly, a dazzling light burst forth, and waves of destructive power swept across the heavens and earth.

Holding this sword, Shi Ji felt she could cleave the heavens in two.

This feeling is exhilarating.

Shi Ji put away the Nine Nether Cold Iron Sword.

He took out the Divine Essence Grass, swallowed it, and began to refine it.

The medicinal properties of the Divine Essence Herb were astonishing; it took Shi Ji a long time of internal energy to fully refine its medicinal power.

Then, Shi Ji stood up.
He began attempting to break through to the Immortal Embryo realm.

A sound like beating drums came from Shi Ji's dantian, which was the sound of his dantian barrier being shattered.

The shattering of the dantian barrier signifies that Shi Ji's realm has advanced to the Immortal Embryo realm.

Moreover, his cultivation level is very stable, and he can even continue to cultivate.

Because Shi Ji's realm has been improved.

Next, Shi Ji began her attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

His Golden Immortal realm progressed from the sixth level of Celestial Master to the seventh level.

Reaching the Golden Immortal realm requires reshaping the physical body, a step that is exceptionally difficult.

But Shiji possesses the arms of a dragon and an elephant.
Therefore, he was confident that he could complete the reshaping of his physical body when he reached the Golden Immortal realm.

His dantian split open again, and Shi Ji frantically absorbed the medicinal power of the Divine Essence Grass.

The barriers in Shiji Dantian began to crumble.
His level of understanding is also constantly improving.

The momentum of Shiji grew stronger and stronger.
With a violent impact, his cultivation level broke through to the True Immortal realm.

Shi Ji burst into laughter.

After breaking through to True Immortal,

Shi Ji felt that her physical body had become even stronger.

He continued to close his eyes to consolidate his spiritual state.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Shi Ji's realm has been completely solidified at the True Immortal level.

At that moment, he opened his eyes.

"Congratulations, young master, on breaking through to the True Immortal realm!"

Nangong Lingwei blushed slightly and said.

Shi Ji responded with a wicked smile: "A breakthrough is a breakthrough, why bother mentioning True Immortal?"

Nangong Lingwei rolled her eyes at Shiji and said, "You always like to take advantage of others!"

"This is a win-win situation for us, and neither of us has lost out!" Shi Ji said with a wicked smile.

Nangong Lingwei gave Shiji a shy glare.
He then asked, "So what should we do now?"

Shi Ji said, "Let's go back to the city lord's mansion first!"

Nangong Lingwei nodded, and the two returned to the city lord's mansion.

"Are you guys okay?"

Seeing that Shi Ji and Nangong Lingwei had returned safely, Poison Ancestor and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you all!"

"It's alright!" Everyone shook their heads. They continued drinking and celebrating, rejoicing that Shi Ji had broken through to the True Immortal realm.

After the banquet,
Everyone dispersed.

Shi Ji then summoned the Poison Ancestor, the Evil Saint, the Cursed Doll, the Demon Lord, and others.

He took out the Divine Essence Grass he had obtained earlier.

"Is this Divine Essence Grass?"

Poison Ancestor looked at the Divine Essence Grass in Shi Ji's hand with surprise.

“Yes! This is the Divine Essence Grass. I’ve already obtained one, and I only need one more to complete the set,” Shi Ji said.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

Shi Ji has actually obtained a Divine Essence Grass!

This is truly fantastic news!
If we could collect all five Divine Essence Grasses, we might actually be able to cultivate a super strong person at the level of an Emperor.

Shi Ji handed the Divine Essence Grass to the Evil Lord Saint.

The Evil Saint took the Divine Essence Grass and slowly said, "I have studied the Divine Essence Grass in depth. Refining it is extremely difficult!"

"The energy contained in the Divine Essence Grass is astonishingly vast and terrifyingly powerful. Even for a quasi-Emperor level expert, refining the Divine Essence Grass directly would be extremely difficult. Unless assisted by other special methods, it would be impossible to refine it!"

Shi Ji's gaze was resolute as she said, "No matter how difficult it is, we have to try. After all, if we succeed, the benefits will be unimaginable—it's simply incredible!"

The Evil Saint nodded slightly and said, "Since you have made up your mind, young master, then let's do as you say!"

Immediately, the Evil Saint and the others withdrew to search for other Divine Essence Grasses.

Shi Ji then went into a secret chamber and began her secluded cultivation.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room.
He took out five Divine Essence Pills and swallowed them without hesitation.

These five Divine Essence Pills are enough to help him condense a Divine Essence Core.

Next, Shi Ji took out a divine essence stone and began to absorb the divine essence energy within it.

A vast and boundless divine energy surged into Shi Ji's body like a tidal wave.

Shi Ji began to condense the core of divine essence.

The shape of the Divine Core is not particularly special.
It's only the size of a palm.

These divine energies flowed within Shi Ji's body.
The core of divine essence gradually became solid.

Shi Ji could clearly sense the changes in the core of her divine essence.

He knew that he was very close to achieving success.

"Almost there, just one last step."

Shi Ji muttered to himself, feeling as if he had touched upon some kind of opportunity.

This time, Shi Ji's speed in condensing the Divine Essence Core was significantly increased.

Just half a month later, he successfully condensed the core of divine essence.

He then began to fuse the divine core. Once the divine core had completely fused with Shi Ji,

Shi Ji immediately felt her magical power become more abundant and powerful.

"This Divine Essence Core should help me break through to the Golden Immortal realm!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but mutter to herself.

His savings had long since reached a plateau.

I originally thought it would take several years, or even decades, to reach the Golden Immortal realm.

Now it seems that he could break through in just six months, or even a month.

This level of understanding is undoubtedly a hurdle.

Once crossed,
The combat power will undergo a tremendous change.

Shi Ji is full of expectations for the future.

Just then, Shi Ji sensed a powerful fluctuation emanating from within the Divine Essence Grass, which was the pure divine essence contained within the Divine Essence Grass.

This divine essence is extremely pure.

If it were to be directly devoured, it would definitely greatly enhance Shi Ji's cultivation level.

However, Shi Ji did not choose to devour it directly, but instead began to circulate her immortal bloodline.

Countless runes emanated from his body, encircling the stone.

They then burrowed into his body.

Then, the divine energy within Shi Ji's body began to merge and integrate with these runes.

After the runes and divine energy completely merged, they were all eventually incorporated into Shi Ji's divine core.

The core of divine essence instantly became even more solid.

This is a natural and inevitable process.

The core of Shiji's divine essence has been officially condensed.

The core of divine essence is formed by the condensation of magical power.

Once successfully condensed, the magical power stored within the Divine Core will continuously replenish Shi Ji's body, enabling him to fight for an extended period.

Once the Divine Essence Core was condensed, Shi Ji ceased her cultivation.

He left the secret room.
As soon as I came out, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," Shi Ji said.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

A maidservant brought in tea.

The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji quickly helped the maid up, saying, "There's no need for such formality!"

The maid thanked her and stood up.

Shi Ji asked, "What's your name?"

The maid replied, "My name is Xiao Cui!"

"Well, Xiao Cui, you've been serving me for a while now. Today I'm going to reward you with some treasures, and I hope you'll stay by my side. Don't worry, I'll never mistreat you if you stay with me."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Xiao Cui said with tears of gratitude.

Shi Ji took out thousands of treasures from her storage ring and handed them to Xiao Cui.

After accepting the treasure, Xiao Cui said, "Thank you for your generous gift, young master. If you have any instructions, please tell me, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them!"

"Okay! Go and rest!" Shi Ji waved her hand.

After Xiao Cui left,
Shi Ji frowned slightly. Because when he was carefully observing Xiao Cui just now...
I discovered that she was not simple.

But Shi Ji couldn't quite put her finger on what was so complicated about it.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Shi Ji couldn't help but wonder.

He shook his head slightly, putting the matter aside for the time being, and then devoted himself to cultivation again.

Three days later, Shi Ji attempted to break through to the Golden Immortal realm again. However, when the attempt began, he once again found himself in great danger.

Shi Ji's expression instantly turned extremely solemn. He never expected that breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm would be so dangerous.

He tried to establish a connection with the Tree of Divine Essence.
But the Divine Tree did not respond at all.

Could it be that the Divine Tree has truly perished?
However, the faint aura of the Divine Tree still lingered in the air.

The Divine Origin Tree is an innate spiritual root nurtured by the Divine Origin Grass, whose main function is to nurture innate beings.

Therefore, the Divine Tree is an innate spiritual root with great wisdom.

But at this moment, the Divine Origin Tree seemed to have vanished, remaining completely still.

This is an extremely bizarre thing.

Although the aura of the Divine Tree was still present, Shi Ji could not contact it no matter what she did.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then attempted to break through to the Golden Immortal realm again.

This time, Shiji finally succeeded in completing the impact process.

But he couldn't be happy at all, because the Divine Tree still didn't react.

A sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

The Divine Tree has probably truly fallen.

Shi Ji sighed, but wasn't overly saddened. After all, the fall of the Divine Origin Tree was inevitable, and he would eventually lose its protection; it was all predestined.

"Son."

Just then, Xiao Cui's voice rang in my ears.

Shi Ji looked up at Xiao Cui.

"Young master, your concubine, Miss Su Yanxue, requests an audience!" Xiao Cui said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's eyes immediately lit up.

Su Yanxue went to Kyushu to search for the Dragon Rabbit.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have returned to Kyushu yet.

How did she suddenly end up on the Tianwu Continent? Did something happen to her?
Shi Ji said, "Take me to see her."

"Yes," Xiao Cui replied. (End of Chapter)
