Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Shiji ceased her attack.

"I need your soul imprint to control you, you won't mind, will you?"

"No, I'll agree to anything as long as you don't take away my soul imprint!" Mo Yunfeng quickly said.

"Give me the mark of your soul."

Shi Ji grabbed with her right hand from a distance, and a powerful suction force erupted.

Mo Yunfeng's soul imprint floated out and finally landed in Shi Ji's palm.

Shi Ji erased Mo Yunfeng's soul imprint without hesitation.

"Greetings, young master." Mo Yunfeng knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Shi Ji.

"Rise, from now on you will serve me," Shi Ji said.

Mo Yunfeng's face was filled with joy. He quickly stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you, young master."

Shi Ji then instructed, "Let's head to the Heavenly Fire Palace to cultivate now."

Mo Yunfeng nodded in agreement and led Shi Ji and the others to the Heavenly Fire Hall. The Heavenly Fire Hall was filled with cave dwellings, where many outer sect disciples resided.

The Heavenly Fire Hall is a large complex, consisting of five or six floors. The first floor is the residence for ordinary outer disciples, while the floors above are the residences for elite outer disciples and core disciples.

The top floor is where the Heavenly Fire Palace's treasure vault is located.

"This is Cave 107 on the first floor of the Heavenly Fire Palace." Mo Yunfeng pointed to a house made of huge rocks in the distance.

Shi Ji said, "You go and rest first, I'll go take a look at that thing."

Mo Yunfeng responded and left in a hurry.

Shi Ji walked to the giant stone house and gently knocked on the wooden door.

A sound came from inside the door, and then the door opened.

"Senior Brother Lin." A woman opened the door to greet the guest; it was Li Yu'er.

Li Yu'er wore a white dress, her long skirt fluttering in the wind.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.

With a graceful figure, exquisite curves, and an elegant posture, she resembled a delicate daffodil.

When Li Yu'er saw Shi Ji, her face lit up with joy, and she went to greet her.

"Your name is Li Yu'er?" Shi Ji asked.

"Mmm!" Li Yu'er nodded in response, her cheeks flushed.

Although she has a carefree personality, she is actually shy and vain.

Shi Ji was powerful and exceptionally handsome. Li Yu'er thought that if she could marry Shi Ji, even as a concubine, she would be willing.

Therefore, she was overjoyed to see Shiji.

Whether cultivator or mortal, who doesn't like handsome men? A woman as beautiful as Li Yu'er naturally prefers handsome men.

"My name is Shi Ji. What is yours?" Shi Ji clasped her hands in a respectful greeting and asked with a smile.

"My name is Li Yu'er, Young Master Lin. May I ask what business you have with me?" Li Yu'er asked.

"I would like to borrow your sect's Heavenly Fire Pool," Shi Ji said.

“Heavenly Fire Pool? No problem, leave this to me, Young Master Lin, please come with me.” Li Yu’er readily agreed and walked alongside Shi Ji, unconsciously moving closer to him.

The two stood close together; Li Yu'er's delicate body was soft and exuded a faint fragrance.

The aroma intoxicated Shiji.

Li Yu'er seemed to have noticed something was wrong, but she pretended to be calm and showed no reaction.

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Li Yu'er was the second woman who made him feel somewhat at a loss.

The Heavenly Fire Palace occupies a vast area, and Li Yu'er led Shi Ji into a valley.

In the valley lies a Heavenly Fire Pool, where disciples of the Heavenly Fire Sect bathe every winter to enhance their fire-attribute power. Hidden within the Heavenly Fire Pool is an ancient formation, concealing the pool itself.

Ordinary disciples who want to take a bath need to pay a certain fee.

However, as a guest elder of the Heavenly Fire Sect, it is reasonable for Shi Ji to enjoy this treatment.

Shi Ji leaped into the Heavenly Fire Pool and sat cross-legged.

A scorching heat emanated from the pool, flowing into Shi Ji's body and making him feel unbearably hot all over, as if he were suffocating.

"Ah, that feels so good," Shi Ji couldn't help but groan.

This feeling is so great.

As time went by, the power of the heavenly fire emanating from the Heavenly Fire Pool gradually weakened and was eventually refined by Shi Ji and integrated into her body.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing qigong and regulating her breathing.

A day later, Shi Ji opened her eyes and leaped out of the Heavenly Fire Pool.

His physical strength has increased again.

Shi Ji discovered that although her realm had not changed, her physical combat strength had significantly improved.

This was something he hadn't anticipated.

"My physical strength has doubled, that's fantastic! I've already reached the Quasi-Emperor level. If I break through to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level, my physical strength will even be able to rival that of an Emperor-level expert." Shi Ji's lips curled into an excited smile.

Shi Ji's physical strength was already extremely powerful, and now that she has broken through to the Quasi-Emperor level, she is even more unstoppable.

As he stepped outside, his expression suddenly sharpened as he heard a familiar voice.

"Junior sister, you can't escape it after all."

Shi Ji was taken aback; it was indeed Zhao Peng's voice.

Could it be that Zhao Peng has come to hunt down Li Yu'er?

Shi Ji's eyes flickered, and she turned her head to look. Sure enough, she saw a young man in black robes walking slowly towards her with his hands behind his back.

Shi Ji recognized the man; it was Zhao Peng.

This guy is incredibly strong; he previously fought against Shi Ji outside the Holy City of Ten Thousand Races.

Not long ago, Shi Ji and Li Yu'er entered the Heavenly Fire Palace, and Zhao Peng followed closely behind.

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless prodigy; his strength is indeed terrifying.

Even Shi Ji wasn't confident of victory against him.

But Shi Ji is no longer the same as before. Not only is her physical strength great, but she also has the trump card that made her famous: the Three Thousand Dragon Elephant Arms.

Once unleashed, even a half-step Emperor-level being would find it difficult to withstand.

This is Shi Ji's biggest secret, which he has not revealed.

Shi Ji probed her storage ring with her divine sense and took out a demonic sword—the Spirit-Slaying Sword.

This sword was forged by the Demon Ancestor Chi You, and Shi Ji originally intended to offer it to the spirit of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Since we've met Zhao Peng, we'll save ourselves from all that trouble.

"Kid, we meet again. I spared your life last time, but I didn't expect you to dare come here to die." Zhao Peng looked coldly at Shi Ji.

“I remember you. You were defeated by me before. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have a chance to leave this valley alive,” Shi Ji said.

"I know you've cultivated the Ninefold Overlord Aura of the Heavenly Martial Continent, but do you know what divine power I've cultivated?" Zhao Peng sneered, his face full of contempt, seemingly not taking Shi Ji seriously at all.

"Oh, what kind of supernatural power?" Shi Ji asked in surprise. Zhao Peng said, "I cultivate the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique. This supernatural power was learned from a certain master and is called Five Elements Divine Thunder. The divine thunder condensed by this supernatural power has the terrifying power to destroy all things. Your ninefold domineering aura is no match for the attack of the Five Elements Divine Thunder. You'd better surrender to avoid losing your life in vain."

"Your supernatural power is the Five Elements Divine Thunder?" Shi Ji frowned slightly, then sneered, "It seems you only possess the Five Elements Divine Thunder because you received an inheritance. I've also cultivated this supernatural power, but the effect doesn't seem to be very good."

"Do you think the Five Elements Divine Thunder is simply about controlling the power of thunder? You're wrong. The Five Elements Divine Thunder has many special and wondrous uses, such as manipulating storms, summoning lightning, and controlling flames. These are the greatest mysteries of the Five Elements Divine Thunder," Zhao Peng continued, his tone quite arrogant.

"Is that so? Then I'll test the pros and cons of your Five Elements Divine Thunder." Shi Ji looked at Zhao Peng indifferently.

“Arrogant,” Zhao Peng said coldly.

He waved his sleeve, and clusters of Five Elements Divine Thunder flew out, converging into a huge Five Elements Divine Thunder sphere, which blasted towards Shi Ji.

Zhao Peng's supernatural power was indeed formidable and extremely powerful; Shi Ji sensed danger.

He summoned the stone sword, which collided with the Five Elements Divine Thunder Orb, unleashing a deafening sound as all five elements of divine thunder exploded.

Shi Ji sheathed her stone sword and said, "As expected of Zhao Peng, this Five Elements Divine Thunder is indeed powerful. You almost destroyed my magic weapon."

Zhao Peng said with a chilling look in his eyes, "Your magic weapon is extraordinary, but it's not a celestial artifact. Fighting me with a celestial artifact is just courting death."

Zhao Peng looked down at Shi Ji with a condescending expression.

“You’re right, I can’t fight you, but don’t forget, I’m an earth-elemental immortal cultivator,” Shi Ji said calmly.

"An earth-elemental immortal cultivator?" Zhao Peng frowned slightly.

Shi Ji grinned and cast a spell.

A layer of golden light surged from his body, enveloping his entire being.

"This is the energy of immortal bones, how is that possible? Aren't you a wood-type immortal cultivator?" Zhao Peng said in surprise.

"Who told you that cultivators with wood-type immortal veins can't absorb immortal bones? Cultivators with wood-type immortal veins may not be able to absorb the energy of immortal bones, but it's different for cultivators with earth-type immortal veins. We can absorb the energy of immortal bones," Shi Ji said.

"Kid, I'm completely convinced. In my entire life, I, Zhao Peng, have never admired many people. Besides my father, you are the second person who has won my heart." Zhao Peng laughed heartily.

The more powerful Shi Ji's methods are, the more it proves his ruthlessness.

Zhao Peng was increasingly looking forward to his confrontation with Shi Ji. He felt that only by fighting against a peerless talent like Shi Ji could he truly test his own strength.

Zhao Peng, wielding his halberd, charged toward Shiji.

He leaped into the void, roared, and thrust his halberd fiercely at Shi Ji.

Countless Five Elements Divine Thunders surged from the Fangtian Halberd, densely bombarding Shiji.

Shi Ji cursed angrily, saying that Zhao Peng was like a mythical beast, always talking about devouring, just like a gluttonous beast.

Moreover, this guy can even unleash the Five Elements Divine Thunder, which is extremely powerful.

Shi Ji used the Heavenly Profound Eight Steps to dodge Zhao Peng's attack.

Then, he punched Zhao Peng.

With a dull thud, the two collided violently.

A sharp, tearing sound echoed through the sky.

Shi Ji felt as if her wrist was about to be shattered, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhao Peng is too powerful; he suffered a loss in his direct confrontation with Shi Ji just now.

"Heh heh, kid, got a taste of it? This is what happens when you provoke me," Zhao Peng grinned maliciously.

Then he charged at Shiji again.

"Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Shi Ji coldly shouted, grabbing the chain that was suppressing the little stone monkey with her right hand and pulling hard.

The chain was immediately pulled out by Shi Ji.

Zhao Peng looked at Shi Ji with a gloomy expression.

Shi Ji said, "I'd like to see if your Five Elements Divine Thunder is more powerful than my Immortal-Locking Rope."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji activated the Immortal Suppression Rope, and chains flew out, wrapping around Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to escape, but found that the chains seemed to have transformed into gods that imprisoned everything, sealing off the surrounding space and time.

He couldn't even travel through time to leave.

"How is this possible?" Zhao Peng was horrified when he saw this.

The battle fluctuations on Shiji's side were too great, attracting the attention of a large group of cultivators.

Many people flew over quickly, eager to watch the game.

Upon seeing Zhao Peng and Shi Ji engaged in a fierce battle, the crowd couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.

"Young Master Lin has also come to participate in the assessment. This assessment is getting more and more exciting."

"Yes, I've heard that there are many top experts among the cultivators who have come to participate in the assessment this time, and there are even three Immortal Emperors."

"Three beings at the Immortal Emperor level, tsk tsk, what kind of concept is that? It's simply unbelievable."

No one could believe their ears.

Even in the Northern Wilderness Region, a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor level would be considered a top-tier expert.

It's unbelievable that three Celestial Emperors have suddenly arrived.

“Brother, with your talent, you could easily go to the East Sea Dragon Palace to cultivate. Why don’t you go to the East Sea Dragon Palace to cultivate?” a young cultivator said, looking at Shi Ji.

“If you are willing to join our East Sea Dragon Palace, I will recommend you to become the number one among the younger generation of the East Sea Dragon Palace,” another young cultivator said.

These two are also a pair of fellow disciples, one male and one female, and they are quite handsome.

Shi Ji said, "I'm sorry, I have no plans to join the East Sea Dragon Palace for the time being."

Shi Ji's attitude was very firm, and the two did not force her. Shi Ji continued to fight Zhao Peng.

Now Shi Ji has mastered the essence of the Nine-Nine Return to One Technique, and her combat power has greatly increased.

Zhao Peng did not comprehend the Nine-Nine Return to One Technique. His Nine-Nine Return to One Technique was formed by the divine thunder condensed by the heavenly tribulation, rather than created by himself.

Therefore, the power of the Nine-Nine Return to One Technique is far less than that of the one performed by Shi Ji.

Although Shi Ji was at a disadvantage when fighting Zhao Peng, she was able to contend with him and even suppress him.

Many people showed strange expressions.

"Senior Brother Zhao Peng was actually suppressed by this kid?" Many people were surprised.

Zhao Peng is a powerful and unpredictable man; even many highly skilled rogue cultivators are no match for him.

It's truly unbelievable that Shi Ji was able to suppress Zhao Peng.

This rocky is indeed not to be underestimated.

Shi Ji unleashed the Heaven-Mending Technique, instantly shattering Zhao Peng's Five Elements Divine Thunder.

Zhao Peng's expression was extremely gloomy. He thought he could easily kill Shi Ji, but in the end, it still ended in a draw.

He was filled with rage.

"Shi Ji, we'll see about that." Zhao Peng cursed Shi Ji viciously before quickly leaving.

After Zhao Peng left, Shi Ji took out the Mountain and River Ring and emptied all the storage bags inside.

This storage ring has a total of 360 storage bags, each containing various immortal stones.

"My goodness, thirty million immortal stones! How many immortal stones did these guys steal? I wonder if there are any Five Elements Immortal Crystals among them. If there are, we've struck it rich!" Shi Ji couldn't help but get excited.

Shi Ji examined the storage rings and found that they did contain some immortal stones, but no immortal crystals.

Shi Ji was somewhat disappointed, but since she didn't get the Five Elements Immortal Crystals, it was still a huge fortune. (End of Chapter)
