Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Shi Ji clasped her hands in greeting and said, "Young Master Li, we are complete strangers. I never expected to meet you at the auction today. It seems we have a deep connection. I have come to pay you a visit!"

Li Yuanlong said with a smile, "Hehe, although we are strangers, the karmic ties between us are quite deep!"

Shi Ji stroked her chin and asked, "I wonder what cause and effect Young Master Li is referring to?"

"Is this related to the woman next to you?"

Li Yuanlong raised his hand and pointed to Shi Ji's shoulder.

The demon lord's gaze instinctively followed the direction of the pointing finger and fell on his own shoulder.

He looked thoughtful, as if some thoughts were flashing through his mind.

"What is your relationship with her?" Shi Ji asked, her brows furrowed slightly.

"You don't need to know who she is, but right now, you're nothing more than a dying man!"

Li Yuanlong said coldly, then raised his right hand.

He suddenly slapped Shi Ji with his palm.

A deafening bang rang out.

Li Yuanlong's attack slammed into Shi Ji.

Shi Ji immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Shi Ji cough up blood, the little donkey brayed anxiously, wanting to rush over to help Shi Ji fight against Li Yuanlong.

However, the little donkey's body was bound by a force and it was unable to break free.

Shi Ji's body plummeted rapidly toward the ground.

The demon lord's expression changed drastically in an instant.

He waved his arm, picked up the stone, and tried to put it into the stone ring.

But that's it.

An extremely terrifying power descended, enveloping the entire area.

"Boy, just accept your fate. This is a sealing formation set up by me. Unless you reach the Emperor Realm, you will not be able to break this seal."

Moreover, even an Emperor-level expert would need an extremely long time to break this seal. Therefore, no one can save you in the short term!

A cold voice rang out, and then four black-clad cultivators appeared in Shi Ji's sight.

"The Four Kings of the Underworld!"

Shi Ji's face turned deathly pale instantly.

These four old men were none other than the four Kings of the Underworld.

Their purpose in coming here was clearly not simply to kill Shi Ji.

These four Hades must have come on orders.

They wanted to seize the soul essence within Shi Ji's body.

"Kid, you're really unlucky to have run into us so easily. Today, you're destined to die here!"

The King of the Underworld, the leader of the four, spoke in a sinister tone.

"You want me to die here? You four lowly servants, you are truly arrogant beyond measure! Today, I, this young master, will send you to hell!"

Shi Ji curled her lip in disdain, "I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't cherish it. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji immediately summoned the powerful treasure, the Nine Demon Diagram.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Nine Demon Diagram permeated the heavens and earth, pressing down upon the four Underworld Kings.

Sensing the terrifying fluctuations released by the Nine Demon Diagram, the four Underworld Kings dared not hesitate for a moment and quickly joined forces to resist the threat of the Nine Demon Diagram.

The four Hades roared and pounced on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's face turned grim. "A bunch of clowns, daring to provoke me? They're courting death!"

Done.

He opened his mouth and spat out three fire orbs.

The three flame orbs flew out and burst into flames.

In an instant, it transformed into three fiery cages, engulfing the four Underworld Kings.

The four Hades used their supernatural powers to break the fiery prison.

Then they continued their attack on Shiji.

"You four Hades have four chances in total. I will make sure you die knowing why!"

Shi Ji's expression was indifferent.

"All evil shall retreat! All ghosts shall submit!"

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from Shi Ji's eyes, and then two sharp swords materialized in them.

Shi Ji's eyes turned as black as ink.

Those black pupils contained a destructive aura, as if they could destroy the world.

"Oh no! That kid is using the Eye of Heavenly Dao! Everyone, run!"

Li Yuanlong shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Li Yuanlong's words, the four Hades Kings all showed expressions of horror. They wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

Four tearing sounds rang out.

The chests of the four Hades were all pierced by the two sharp swords that Shi Ji's eyes swept out.

The four Hades roared in fury.

They frantically activated their magic, trying to destroy Shi Ji's body.

But they failed; the boundless destructive power directly destroyed the bodies of the four Hades.

Shi Ji took the opportunity to collect their bodies.

Moreover, Shi Ji's mental power locked onto the corpses of the four Underworld Kings.

His spiritual power surged into the corpses of the four Hades, and he began searching for their memories.

The memories of these four Hades have been erased, but their storage rings still remain, bearing a trace of their mark.

Shi Ji attempted to refine a trace of the mark of these four Hades.

Then we received a lot of information.

It turns out that the master of these four Underworld Kings is a member of the Xuanming Palace. Their master is named Li Yuanlong, an extremely powerful figure, and they are the protectors of the Xuanming Palace.

Xuanming Palace is one of the top powers in the Northern Sea. It is said that the cultivation of Li Xuanming, the master of Xuanming Palace, is even more terrifying. He has surpassed the quasi-immortal realm and become an immortal-level cultivator.

These types of cultivators are quite famous in the Northern Sea Region, and such beings are rarely seen.

However, Xuanming Palace was one of the earliest forces to enter Nanzhanbu Prefecture. Xuanming Palace established many strongholds in Nanzhanbu Prefecture, such as the headquarters of the Dongfang Family.

Li Yuanlong was one of the chief officials of the Xuanming Palace in Nanzhanbu Prefecture, holding a high position within the palace. Therefore, he carried many life-saving magical treasures and even several immortal talismans.

If Li Yuanlong hadn't acted decisively and used the celestial talisman in time, Shi Ji might not have been able to successfully kill the four Underworld Kings.

Shi Ji rummaged through the storage rings of the four Underworld Kings and found more than a hundred rare and precious herbs, which she then put away one by one.

These hundred-plus rare and precious herbs are enough to help Shi Ji improve her cultivation.

"You can die in peace now!" Shi Ji's eyes were icy as she looked at the remaining four Kings of the Underworld.

The four Hades were ashen-faced. Although they had been injured by Shi Ji, they had not separated because they had fought together.

Moreover, the four of them worked together extremely well.

Therefore, their combat power remains extremely strong.

Shi Ji was by no means an ordinary person. Although the Four Underworld Kings were quite powerful, they were still far behind Shi Ji.

He planned to leverage the advantages of the Epochal Dominance, combined with his own formidable strength.

They eliminated the four Hades in one fell swoop.

The four Hades sensed a hint of danger.

They tried to turn around and run away.

However, there was no time to escape, because the speed of the four Hades was far inferior to that of the Epochal Overlord.

Therefore, the four Hades were firmly trapped by Shi Ji. "My God, how can this kid be so terrifying? Let's get out of here quickly, otherwise, we're probably doomed."

After witnessing Shi Ji's formidable strength, the other five Netherworld Guards couldn't help but gasp in astonishment before flying away into the distance.

The remaining underworld soldiers screamed in terror.

They also wanted to escape, but found that Shiji's divine power had already enveloped them in all directions.

It's virtually impossible to escape.

Shi Ji took a step and arrived beside the group.

Then, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the air, imprisoning all the underworld soldiers in mid-air.

There is no way to escape.

"Young master, spare my life! Spare my life!"

All the underworld soldiers began to plead.

They knew full well that Shi Ji was no benevolent person, and if Shi Ji insisted on killing them, they would have no way to resist.

"Don't you want to die?" Shi Ji asked with a faint smile.

"We are willing to submit to you, my lord, and pledge our loyalty for eternity!"

All the underworld soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in respect.

They didn't want to die; if they could pledge allegiance to an emperor, their future would be limitless.

Moreover, one could gain great opportunities by siding with a young emperor, so who would willingly throw their life away?
Shi Ji said calmly, "In that case, you shall sign a blood oath."

These underworld soldiers dared not disobey Shiji's orders, and they all bit their fingers.

The blood dripped onto the jade seal.

Each person dripped a drop of blood.

Then they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shiji.

Shi Ji nodded slightly, collected everyone's blood, and then handed the corpses of the four Underworld Kings to Li Lingyao.

Shi Ji asked, "Where is the headquarters of your Xuanming Palace?"

Li Lingyao said, "Young master, please come with me."

Shi Ji followed Li Lingyao and flew westward.

Li Lingyao said, "Our Xuanming Palace has six branch palaces, and I am the head of the six branch palaces. I manage almost all affairs!"

Shi Ji said, "Oh, do you know which branch palace is more special?"

Li Lingyao shook her head with a wry smile; she truly didn't know.

"These people should belong to a deputy palace master. They are here on orders, not on a personal mission. However, they are carrying valuable treasures."

Perhaps we can force these people to reveal the mastermind behind it all. Go and investigate; if you can really get the mastermind out of them, I'll owe you a favor!

"Don't worry, young master, I will immediately send my men to investigate this matter. Once any clues are found, I will report to you immediately!" Li Lingyao said.

"Yes!" Shi Ji nodded.

After Li Lingyao left.

Shi Ji continued his secluded cultivation, devouring and refining those rare and precious materials to improve his cultivation level.

Shi Ji discovered that these natural treasures were indeed of superior quality.

Therefore, he needs a large number of rare and precious materials to improve his cultivation. If he can improve his cultivation to the Yin-Yang Realm, then he will have a chance to break through to the Emperor Realm.

Shi Ji spent three days raising her cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm, just one step away from breaking through.

"Is it finally time for a breakthrough?" Shi Ji's eyes lit up immediately. This breakthrough was of great significance to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji continued to take various elixirs and medicines to improve her cultivation.

Two more days passed, and he finally fully consolidated his cultivation.

Shi Ji let out a long roar, and instantly, a terrifying wave swept across the heavens and earth, marking Shi Ji's formal entry into the Yin-Yang Realm.

Moreover, Shi Ji's cultivation level continued to rise, directly reaching the Emperor realm.

"This is the Yin-Yang Realm. It is indeed incredibly powerful. If I were to encounter that black-robed man again, I would probably be able to suppress him with my cultivation level alone, right?"

Shi Ji began to ponder, then a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Shi Ji kept the previous hatred in her heart.

He was now desperate to kill the black-robed cultivator and avenge himself.

However, considering that the black-robed cultivator was surrounded by dozens of powerful figures at the Emperor level, he hesitated.

Shi Ji has no intention of causing trouble for the black-robed cultivator at the moment.

After all, with his current strength, he is not yet capable of directly confronting dozens of powerful figures at the Emperor level.

Shi Ji then went into seclusion to cultivate, and her cultivation level stabilized at the early stage of the first level of the Emperor Realm.

After he had fully consolidated his cultivation, he left the secluded cultivation place. Next, he planned to find some rare and precious materials to refine Emperor-level healing pills.

If it can be successfully refined, that would be the best outcome, at which point one's cultivation level can be restored.

At this moment, Shi Ji heard shouts of killing coming from afar, and it seemed that someone was carrying out a massacre of the disciples of Xuanming Palace.

Shi Ji concealed herself and quietly observed the battle. Seeing the scene of the great battle, Shi Ji's face was filled with astonishment and shock.

The disciples of Xuanming Palace were seen fighting a group of bandits.

These bandits were all incredibly powerful, dressed in black, wielding swords, and exuding a menacing aura.

The old man leading the army was even more terrifying, being an existence at the level of an emperor.

"You scum of the Xuanming Palace, you lowly lackeys, how dare you oppose your ancestor! Today, you will all die!"

The old man grinned maliciously and struck the Xuanming Palace group with a palm, the terrifying blow instantly engulfing the entire team.

"Boom!" That palm strike contained destructive power, slamming into the Xuanming Palace squad.

A tearing sound suddenly rang out.

The disciples of Xuanming Palace died tragically on the spot, and even the elders who protected the sect were not spared.

"People of Xuanming Palace, you've finally met your match! This is truly exhilarating! From this moment on, all the resources of Xuanming Palace belong to me!"

The powerful figure at the Emperor level laughed loudly.

The other bandits were equally arrogant, vying for resources.

These guys are practically bandits.

Although the people of Xuanming Palace were extremely angry, they could only cry out in despair.

They were no match for the enemy.

Soon, the Xuanming Palace was completely looted.

"Heh heh, Xuanming Palace, just you wait and see! One day, we will return to Xuanming Star and turn Xuanming Palace into ruins!"

The eyes of that Emperor-level expert flashed with a chilling light, and his voice was filled with endless coldness.

"Ancestor! What should we do now?"

"Retreat first! Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll gather reinforcements and wipe out the Xuanming Palace! I'll slaughter every single one of their experts! Not a single one will be spared!"

At this moment, Shi Ji saw the old man in the lead turn and leave, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
He didn't stop, but quietly followed after them.

When they tracked them down to a mountain range, they discovered that the bandits had vanished without a trace.

These bandits were clearly skilled at concealing their presence.

Shi Ji originally thought she could find the black-robed cultivator with the help of these guys, but she didn't expect them to slip away so quickly.

However, Shi Ji believed that these people would not give up easily.

He decided to infiltrate again to observe and see if these people had truly returned to the Xuanming Palace. If so, they must be plotting something.

If we can uncover these people's conspiracy, we might be able to use this incident to restrain them.

Shi Ji continued flying towards the abyss ahead, and about half an hour later, he landed outside the valley.

A thick fog filled the valley, obscuring the view.

The divine sense swept outwards but encountered tremendous resistance, making it impossible to see anything clearly. (End of Chapter)
