Shi Ji asked, "Senior Brother Lu, who exactly is this person? Why was he sealed here?"

Lu Tianpeng pondered for a moment and said, "This person is named 'Gui Ming'! He was once a top expert of the Ghost Clan, but he committed heinous crimes and was exterminated by the Ghost Clan. He also wreaked havoc throughout the heavens!"

"He not only harmed the ghost race, but also human cultivators, and even demon cultivators were not spared!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji was deeply shocked. After expressing her admiration, she asked, "Has the Ghost Clan been wiped out?"

"It is said to have been destroyed by an incomparably powerful being!" Lu Tianpeng said.

Shi Ji asked in confusion, "What kind of being could possibly annihilate both the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan?"

Lu Tianpeng shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know the specifics either. I only heard that the powerful members of the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan joined forces to form a large army, intending to invade the Samsara Immortal Sect, but they were defeated and ultimately perished!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but sigh, "How unpredictable life is! The two powerful clans that once dominated the world have now vanished into thin air."

But they became prisoners, awaiting death.

"What brings you here?" Gui Ming asked.

“I know you are Gui Ming, and I have come here today specifically to catch up with you!” Shi Ji said.

Gui Ming's expression instantly turned wary, and he said coldly, "Boy! Don't get any funny ideas, or I'll take your life right now!"

Shi Ji said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a despicable person. I have my reasons for coming to chat with you; I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Gui Ming stared intently at Shi Ji, his eyes full of vigilance. In his view, it was unbelievable that Shi Ji, at such a young age, possessed the combat power of a quasi-emperor.

"My master wishes to know the route to the core area of ​​the Eternal Immortal Sect!"

"Your master wanted to enter the inner core area? How did he get in?"

Gui Ming's pupils contracted slightly.

"My master sneaked in!"

Shi Ji made up a story off the top of her head.

"You think I'd believe you?" Gui Ming sneered.

Shi Ji spread her hands and laughed, "If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try! See if what I said is true!"

Gui Ming's expression was indifferent as he said, "What good will it do you to tell me this?"

Shi Ji said, “Of course it’s useful. What my master wants to know will soon be transmitted from the core area. How valuable do you think this information is?”

Gui Ming said, "Your information is probably not enough to save your life. Although your master is strong, your cultivation level is still shallow. Even with the Nine Demon Diagram protecting you, you are no match for me!"

Gui Ming continued, "Do you know who I am?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Shi Ji looked at Gui Ming with a half-smile.

This guy is pretty arrogant.

Gui Ming said, "Whether you know my identity or not, you should understand that I have a powerful background. Therefore, I advise you not to make an enemy of me, lest you invite unnecessary trouble!"

"I'm not easily intimidated. Today I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Shi Ji burst into laughter.

Gui Ming's expression changed drastically, and he struck Shi Ji with a palm.

This palm strike was incredibly powerful, shattering the void instantly and unleashing a torrent of boundless magical power.

Gui Ming was indeed incredibly powerful.

Shi Ji unleashed the Nine Demon Diagram and blasted it towards Gui Ming.

The Nine Demon Diagram unleashed overwhelming demonic power, and nine ancient weapons flew out, each containing terrifying power that could reverse the universe.

The two sides collided instantly, and Gui Ming's terrifying attack was broken by Shi Ji's Nine Demon Diagram.

Shi Ji's Nine Demon Diagrams slashed fiercely at Gui Ming's shoulder, shattering his shoulder bone and severing his entire right arm.

Gui Ming let out a miserable scream, half-kneeling on the ground, his face as pale as paper.

"How can you be so powerful?" Gui Ming roared in disbelief.

Shi Ji sneered, "I warned you long ago, but it's too late to regret it now!"

The voice just fell,

Shi Ji unleashed the divine power of the Great Destiny Technique.

In an instant, terrifying forces of destiny coalesced into a sword of destiny.

With a soft "plop" sound,
The sword of fate pierced through the chest of the ghost.

"Spare me! Please spare my life!"

Gui Ming wailed.

"I can spare your life! As long as you agree to be my slave for three years! After three years, I will set you free! How about it?" Shi Ji asked calmly.

Three years may not seem like a long time, but for Shi Ji, it was enough to change many things.

"I'm willing! I'm willing to be your slave. Three years will pass in the blink of an eye! By then, I can recover my cultivation!"

Gui Ming nodded in agreement.

Shi Ji said, "Since you've agreed, then let's get started! Kneel before me!"

Gui Ming gritted his teeth and knelt before Shi Ji.

“Now I command you to stand up!” Shi Ji said.

Gui Ming roared angrily, "Boy, don't go too far! How could I, a powerful Immortal Emperor, easily submit?"

Shi Ji's expression was cold as she said, "You'd better behave and obey, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Before she finished speaking, Shi Ji activated the Nine Demon Diagram.

Instantly, nine beams of demonic light illuminated the sky, and a terrifying aura spread out.

A shrill scream suddenly rang out, and Gui Ming was enveloped by nine kinds of demonic light, his body trembling violently.

The physical body of the ghost,
It crumbled inch by inch, blood mist dissipating. He screamed in agony, his heart breaking.

"Boy, I curse you to a terrible death!" Gui Ming stared at Shi Ji with venomous resentment, his soul twisting wildly.

Shi Ji's expression was icy as she activated the Nine Demon Diagram to refine Gui Ming's soul.

Shi Ji collected Gui Ming's memories.

They learned many secrets.

For example, among Immortal Emperor level experts,

Indeed, there are several unparalleled beings hidden among them.

These unparalleled beings are all ancient monsters who have lived for countless years, and they have been secretly plotting a shocking conspiracy.

Gui Ming's words made sense.

But Shi Ji had always looked down on these people.

He firmly believed that with his unremitting efforts and excellent opportunities, one day he would be able to join the ranks of those old monsters.

Moreover, my future path will definitely be more brilliant and dazzling than those old monsters.

Back then, Shi Ji's cultivation was still shallow, yet he dared to compete with experts from various races. Now, he has broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm and possesses the strength to contend with Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses.

Shi Ji felt that her trump cards were becoming increasingly powerful.

Therefore, he showed no fear in the face of any enemy.

Even though Shiji had no fear,

But he also knew the importance of improving his cultivation.

When his cultivation reaches the peak of Quasi-Emperor, that will be the time for him to roam freely throughout the myriad realms.

After sealing away the ghostly spirit...

Shi Ji left the Black Stone Starfield and returned to the Chaos Profound Yellow Mother Qi Cauldron to cultivate in seclusion.

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

In these three years, Shi Ji's cultivation has reached the level of Emperor Lord, and she is only one step away from the peak of Quasi-Emperor.

Shi Ji plans to find a good opportunity to try to break through to the peak of Quasi-Emperor.

But he also understood,
To reach the peak of Quasi-Emperor status, one needs the help of favorable opportunities.

Therefore, Shi Ji was not in a hurry to achieve quick results.

During this period,

Shi Ji then gathered more than a hundred experts at the Emperor Realm level and killed them one by one.

He refined the corpses of these powerful beings, obtaining a large amount of essence, and also collected many magical treasures.

For example, that immortal crystal jade disc is a magic treasure of the level of an immortal emperor.

Shi Ji plans to integrate this magical artifact into the Epoch Warship.
In this way, the defensive capabilities of the Epoch Warships will be greatly enhanced.

On this day, huge fluctuations came from the distant starry sky.

Shi Ji felt a destructive force sweeping towards her.

He quickly looked in that direction.

In the starry sky,

Giant multi-story ships are sailing in.

"The people from the Immortal Sect have finally shown up."

A chilling glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

He had never forgotten the humiliation he suffered at the Immortal Sect years ago; if he hadn't been lucky enough to escape...

They would probably be dead long ago. Moreover, Shi Ji's hatred for the Immortal Sect runs deep in her bones.

Now that the people from the Immortal Sect have finally arrived, Shi Ji is naturally overjoyed.

He flew out of the valley, soared into the sky, and flew away into the distance.

"Who dares to block our way?"

A group of powerful warriors flew out of the ship and pounced on Shi Ji.

Five tower ships,

More than twenty powerful beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, and more than a dozen evil spirits at the Quasi-Emperor level as guards.

This lineup is incredibly powerful.

But Shi Ji showed no fear. He snorted coldly and said, "The Immortal Sect sent you here to die, so your mission ends here!"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Ji swung his left fist and blasted it towards the five warships.

With a series of dull, thunderous thuds, Shi Ji's fists slammed into the five warships.

One after another, the warships were blasted away.
One by one, the cultivators coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

Two of the ships were smashed to pieces.

The remaining four warships were also badly damaged.

These powerful figures from the Immortal Sect were so easily defeated by Shi Ji; it was simply unbelievable.

At that moment, the void cracked open, and an ancient palace appeared.

An overwhelming sense of oppression emanated from the ancient hall.

Then, a terrifying being flew out.

The being was shrouded in black smoke, making it impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

"Greetings, my lord."

Upon seeing the being shrouded in black smoke, the cultivators of the Immortal Sect quickly bowed, displaying utmost respect and seemingly filled with awe for that being.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of the Immortal Sect? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The terrifying being shrouded in black smoke asked in a chilling voice.

"I am Shiji!"

"Oh? Shi Ji? Is that the kid who killed my sect's disciple Zhao Yang and also killed my sect's vice sect leader?"

The being in the black smoke asked in surprise.

He clearly knew Shi Ji's identity.

"It is I. Do you want revenge for that brat? Come on then, I, Shi Ji, will take your challenge!"

Shi Ji's voice was strong and resonant.

After hearing Shi Ji's words,

Those around them gasped in shock.

"This guy is absolutely ruthless!"

"He actually dared to kill Zhao Yang, the vice sect leader of the Immortal Sect!"

"It is said that not long ago, Shi Ji even slaughtered a powerful Immortal Lord!"

"What? A Celestial Lord? How is that possible?"

Many cultivators were shocked after hearing Shi Ji's domineering words.

Many people even thought they had misheard.

"You've got quite the nerve, but I won't kill you easily. I'll capture you, torture you to death slowly, and then use your blood to appease Zhao Yang's heroic spirit!"

The entity within the black smoke sneered, then walked step by step toward the rocky shore.

The power of this being was simply terrifying.

It involuntarily gives people a chill down their spine and a feeling of dread.

"You're not good enough yet!"

Shi Ji responded casually, and with a swift movement, flew towards that terrifying being.

In an instant, the void cracked open, and a dazzling sword aura condensed into shape.

Immediately afterwards, the sword energy slashed down towards Shi Ji like lightning.

That sword energy was extremely sharp, causing people to turn pale and tremble with fear upon seeing it.

Shi Ji remained calm and extended her right arm.

He grabbed the sword energy in his hand.

Immediately, cracks appeared in the sword energy, and it gradually disintegrated.

"what?"

The terrifying being immediately cried out in alarm.

He never expected that Shi Ji could withstand his attack so easily, and even destroy the sword light he had unleashed.

That terrifying being roared repeatedly.

He swung a long, jet-black sword and slashed fiercely at Shi Ji.

That long sword was indeed incredibly powerful and terrifying.

But Shiji didn't take it seriously at all.

Shi Ji raised her right leg.

He kicked directly at that terrifying being.

The terrifying being's expression changed drastically. Although he hadn't expected Shi Ji to be so powerful, since he had already made his move, he had to go all out.

He roared through gritted teeth, "Nine Slashes of Gods and Demons!"

Immediately, he unleashed his strongest supernatural power.

This is a divine power he comprehended on his own, called "Nine Slashes of Gods and Demons".

This supernatural power is incredibly strong, containing the terrifying force to destroy everything.

Once unleashed, its power is earth-shattering and devastating, leaving people deeply shocked and moved.

A deafening, earth-shattering collision sound rang out.

Shi Ji kicked hard at the black longsword that the terrifying being had condensed.

The black longsword shattered instantly.

Shi Ji's right leg continued forward, kicking hard into the chest of that terrifying being.

It was accompanied by a low, thud.

The chest of that terrifying being was crushed to pieces by Shi Ji's foot.

Followed by.

A shrill scream sounded.

The body of that terrifying being exploded.

He was seriously injured and almost killed by Shi Ji's kick.

The terrifying being turned and fled.

Shi Ji would not let him off easily, and immediately used the Heaven-Mending Technique to traverse the void and chase after that terrifying being.

Although the terrifying being was injured, it was still extremely fast and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shi Ji did not continue the pursuit, because he knew he could not catch up, and a rash pursuit might put him in danger.

So he stopped.

Shi Ji looked around at the densely packed cultivators and sneered, "Gentlemen, the Immortal Sect wants to kill me! What do you think we should do?"

After Shi Ji said these words...

Many of the monks wore thoughtful expressions.

If we become enemies with the Immortal Sect, we will surely suffer the consequences.

Therefore, many people choose to remain on the sidelines and wait and see.

At this moment, someone stepped forward.

This was an old man who said, "Back then, we were allies. I hope the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect can let us go. Today's events have nothing to do with us, and we are willing to withdraw from the alliance!"

Shi Ji laughed loudly, took out a jade talisman and threw it to the old man, saying, "Take this and leave quickly, or you'll stay here forever!"

After receiving the jade talisman, the old man quickly led everyone away.

The Immortal Sect members were furious when they saw the group of cultivators flee.

Especially Zhao Yang's father.

He was originally the sect leader of the Immortal Sect.

But now he was killed by Shi Ji.

This was a huge blow to him. His mental state almost collapsed, and his energy and spirit were greatly depleted. If the Immortal Sect hadn't needed him to support them, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

"You little beast, once I recover my strength, I will surely tear you to pieces!"

Zhao Yang's father cursed viciously. (End of Chapter)
