Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Suddenly, Shi Ji noticed a formation plate in a corner and picked it up.

The array plate emitted a powerful fluctuation.

"Array plate? Could this array plate be related to the inheritance?" He tried to activate the array plate, but it could not be activated.

Shi Ji narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that she needed to find the array patterns in order to obtain the inheritance.

I just don't know where that ancient ruin is. Searching aimlessly like this is really inefficient.

"I'll keep this array plate with me for now; it might come in handy someday," Shi Ji muttered to herself as she put the array plate away.

Then Shi Ji continued searching the storage rings and found several more treasures. The most precious treasure was called the "Golden Dragon Pearl," which contained immense energy. Each pearl contained terrifying energy capable of destroying the world.

Shi Ji took out the Golden Dragon Pearl and unleashed it. Instantly, the void collapsed, and terrifying fluctuations surged forth.

The attack unleashed by the Golden Dragon Ball destroyed everything, its power leaving Shi Ji utterly astonished.

"Huh, how did this thing end up here? Isn't this the personal item of the Golden Dragon Ancestor? Could this guy be a descendant of the Golden Dragon Ancestor?" Shi Ji frowned slightly when she saw the golden dragon pattern engraved on the scabbard.

The golden dragon pattern on the scabbard looks remarkably like the totem of the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

However, upon closer inspection, the totem on this sword sheath seems to be slightly smaller than the totem on the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

What does this mean? The Golden Dragon Ancestor's status should be lower than that of the being on the totem, but that being is a descendant of the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

Who was that being? After that being perished, the bloodline of the Golden Dragon Ancestor vanished, and the owners of those bloodlines must have died as well, right? Otherwise, there would have been no news left behind.

So the question is, why did that being perish?
Just then, a mysterious aura emanated from the Mountain and River Ring.

Upon sensing that aura, Shi Ji's face immediately showed a surprised expression.

Could it be that a new spirit has been born within the Mountain and River Ring?

With a thought, Shi Ji sent out a ball of light from her Mountain and River Ring, which hovered in mid-air. As the light gradually faded, the figure of an old man appeared in mid-air.

"Greetings, Master." The old man bowed to Shi Ji.

"Who are you? How dare you call me master?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

"I was originally a general under my master, but in my previous life, I was demoted to guard the Mountain and River Ring because of a mistake. Later, when my master was in danger, I was forced to escape into the Mountain and River Ring to cultivate in seclusion. Until my master's death, I stayed in the Mountain and River Ring. Now that my master has been reborn, I have also been born."

"My name is Hongjun, and I was once an unparalleled powerhouse who traversed the heavens."

Shi Ji rolled her eyes. This guy was bursting with confidence, but from his words just now, Shi Ji could tell that he seemed to have some misunderstanding about her.

That's normal, though. After all, he had just woken up and wasn't familiar with Shi Ji, so it's understandable that he made some misjudgments.

Shi Ji said, "Since you are my subordinate, then follow me well. When the opportunity arises, I will help you rebuild your physical body."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to kowtow, saying, "Thank you, Master."

"You wait here for a bit and see if there's a way to leave."

"Yes, sir." Hongjun quickly stood up and stepped aside.

Shi Ji scanned the secret room and then took out the warship.

The warship was entirely black, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

"This is the Void Warship, a magic weapon of Emperor level. Although it was not made by an Emperor Realm expert, its power is in no way inferior to that of an Emperor weapon."

"This warship has reached the near-creation level."

"Besides this Void Warship, there are eight other Void Warships, seven Emperor-level warships, five Emperor-lord-level warships, and three Emperor-venerable-level warships."

Shi Ji gave a brief introduction to these things, and Hongjun's face was filled with utter shock.

What Shi Ji said had a tremendous impact on him.

That's an imperial weapon! Once you break through to the Emperor Venerable realm, you'll have mastered an imperial weapon, which is absolutely a heaven-defying magic treasure.

Warships of Emperor-level and Emperor-level are even rarer; even powerful beings at the Emperor-level don't possess many warships.

As for warships of the Emperor level, they are extremely rare.

Shi Ji actually controls nine Emperor-level warships, which are incredibly powerful weapons of war.

Who would dare to be his enemy?
"Master, I can activate the warship to perform a space jump!"

"Oh? You can even jump? So, once your cultivation level recovers to the Emperor Realm, you'll be able to pilot a warship and travel through space?"

Hongjun replied, "Yes, Master!"

"Great! Let's start the jump now!"

Nine warships flew over quickly, and Shiji boarded one of them, followed closely by Hongjun.

Next, Shi Ji activated the jump device of the Taixu warship.

Accompanied by violent energy fluctuations, the nine warships rushed into the distance.

Shi Ji controlled the Taixu warship and began to jump.

The Taixu warship jumped 246 times in a row.

On the 247th jump.

A sudden, deafening roar came from afar.

The Taixu warship then stopped jumping.

Ahead lay a vast canyon.

"Master! We've arrived! The headquarters of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races is just ahead!"

"Yeah! Let's go grab one!"

Shi Ji sneered, opened the defensive restrictions of the Mountain and River Ring, and then stepped out of the ring.

Then, he walked forward.

Shi Ji found that there was nothing special about the valley in front of him.

The rocks and vegetation in the valley were normal, and there was no sense of danger.

Shi Ji wasn't sure if there was any danger lurking here, but he was still willing to take the risk.

He went to a hillside to observe the surrounding environment.

"Whoosh." Suddenly, a violent ripple came from the depths of the valley.

After sensing it for a while, Shi Ji's face showed excitement.

Deep in the valley, there must be terrifying creatures lurking.

"Hehe, I've finally found you."

A cold smile curved Shi Ji's lips as she strode into the depths.

A roar erupted, and a pack of ferocious beasts pounced.

These ferocious beasts all had terrifying and grotesque appearances.

One of the ferocious beasts had nine heads.

The nine heads bared their fangs and claws, spitting out thick bolts of lightning that slashed towards Shi Ji.

"Hydra! These demons are indeed difficult to deal with."

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow slightly.

These demons are truly terrifying.

Shi Ji waved her right hand, and the Epoch Overlord Fist was formed.

Punch out.

The Epoch Overlord Fist technique instantly shattered all the Thunder Spears.

Just then, a cold light slashed towards Shiji.

The power contained within that cold light was far too great.

Shi Ji was surprised; it was clear that the attackers had been planning this for a long time.

He dared not hesitate and used the Great Teleportation Technique to dodge the attack.

Then look into the depths of the valley.

A deep, thunderous roar once again echoed through the sky.

The place was surging with destructive waves that were terrifying and unsettling.

Shi Ji squinted as he looked into the depths, sensing that what lay within must be terrifying.

Ignoring the terrifying hidden presence, Shi Ji quickly arrived at the cliff edge.

Then he summoned nine stone swords and slashed at the cliff.

The nine stone swords crashed violently against the cliff.

A clanging sound rang out.

Sparks fly.

When the nine stone swords struck the cliff, the hard cliff began to crack.

Seeing this, Shi Ji's face lit up with joy.

"This mountain wall is indeed extraordinary, it actually withstood the attack of my nine stone swords. It is worthy of being the legendary stone wall forged from immortal iron made of primordial purple energy!"

Shi Ji muttered to herself, then continued to urge the nine stone swords to frantically slash at the mountain wall.

Nine stone swords relentlessly slashed at the stone wall. The solid stone wall was riddled with holes by the nine stone swords of Shi Ji.

Ultimately, the mountainside was completely destroyed.

"Why is it empty?" Shi Ji frowned.

He entered the mountainside with great anticipation.

But to their surprise, the inside of the mountain wall was hollow, with nothing inside.

Looking into the depths of the cave, Shi Ji discovered many skeletons gleaming with metallic luster.

Those skeletons had already rotted away.

They had been dead for countless years. Upon seeing these skeletons, Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed.

Because he recognized the skeletons.

Back then, within the Samsara Immortal Sect.

He witnessed a world-shaking battle firsthand.

That battle resulted in heavy casualties.

In the end, all the experts of the Samsara Immortal Sect were wiped out, leaving only him alive.

Could these skeletons be those of powerful figures who died?
Shi Ji's face turned pale as she considered a possibility. She felt that this possibility was extremely high.

Shi Ji carefully examined the corpses.

"Could they all be ancient cultivators from that era, sealed within a sealing formation?"

If that's the case.

This is truly unbelievable.

Those ancient beings.

They shouldn't be sealed here.

Shi Ji's mood immediately turned heavy. If those people were indeed trapped here...

Are they not destined to be free forever?
This outcome is too tragic and is not what Shi Ji wanted to see at all.

But these people were trapped and died here, Shi Ji sighed. In any case, since they had come to this godforsaken place, they had to release these guys.

Otherwise, they would never be able to leave this place.

These people may not be human, or they may be from a certain race.

But Shi Ji speculated that they might be related by blood.

These people are all human beings, all compatriots.

"These people are being imprisoned here. I must find a way to rescue them, no matter what it takes!"

Shi Ji said through gritted teeth.

He took out the Key of Darkness.

When Shi Ji took out the Key of Darkness.

The terrifying creatures that had been entrenched in the valley retreated outwards.

"What a bunch of cowards!"

Shi Ji burst into laughter.

Then it shot out.

It disappeared without a trace very quickly.

He was too fast; those terrifying creatures couldn't catch him. A dark shadow flashed, and Shi Ji burst out of the valley.

Meanwhile, the countless terrifying creatures in the valley roared angrily.

They seem to be calling for more powerful beings to hunt down Shiji.

"The Heavenly Emperor's Jade Talisman!"

Shi Ji quickly took out the Imperial Emblem and the Heavenly Emperor Jade Talisman.

This was left behind by a powerful figure at the Emperor level. Although Shi Ji didn't yet have the ability to refine the Heavenly Emperor Jade Talisman and Emperor Mark.

However, the aura emanating from both of these things was far too powerful.

Even these terrifying creatures feared the damage caused by the aura released by the Emperor's Mark and the Heavenly Emperor's Jade Talisman.

Those terrifying creatures all retreated from the valley.

"In the end, we returned empty-handed."

Shi Ji gave a wry smile.

This place is far too dangerous.

But Shiji has not left this site.

There were so many things in this ruin that interested him.

Moreover, Shi Ji wanted to find those powerful individuals who had fallen from grace.

He needs to find some clues.

Shi Ji wandered around deep inside the mountain several times, but still found no clues.

Suddenly, Shi Ji's gaze was drawn to a clump of grayish-brown soil underground.

The clump of soil looked like the roots of some plant, and Shi Ji noticed that many of the roots were stained with blood.

Shi Ji took a deep breath.

He crouched down, reached out and grabbed the clump of soil, then tried to pull it.

The soil was found to be very firm, even with Shi Ji's current cultivation level, it was difficult to break through.

Shi Ji's face showed shock and surprise.

His physical body was so powerful that even his physical strength couldn't tear the soil apart.

This shows how tough the soil is.

Shi Ji's gaze fell on the shocking bloodstains on the soil, which had long since dried.

But Shi Ji felt that the blood must have just been soaked in fresh blood.

At that time, the blood was warm and even had a faint fragrance.

This is definitely not normal.

Shi Ji tried to dig into the soil.

As soon as Shi Ji dug a crack, a chilling aura wafted out. The aura nearly froze Shi Ji.

Shi Ji quickly activated her supernatural powers and returned to normal.

“Something is sealed in this soil,” Shi Ji frowned.

How could such special soil appear here?

Did any horrific events occur here in the past?

Or perhaps, this soil once buried a being from the world of the dead?
If that's the case.

Shi Ji was quite willing to dig out that terrifying being from the world of death and let him witness his own grave being destroyed.

But considering the terrifying existence of that world of death, Shi Ji ultimately gave up the idea.

Shiji continued on, but soon stopped again.

Shi Ji saw a corpse.

The body was already decomposed, leaving only a skeleton.

The corpse lay on the ground, with a rusty sword stuck beside it, its age unknown.

The sword's owner appeared to have died in battle; his chest was pierced, and his intestines spilled out of the wound. The ancient sword embedded in his body had also become ineffective due to long-term damage, its blade covered in rust.

Shi Ji carefully examined the deceased's injuries and discovered that the injuries to the chest and abdomen were indeed caused by a sharp weapon, and were not formed naturally.

The deceased was likely human.

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

He really didn't understand who had killed this person.

A cultivator capable of killing someone silently must be a top expert in the world of death.

Could it be that two of those terrifying creatures joined forces to kill the deceased?
The more Shi Ji thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After all, there were no signs of any activity in or around this small town.

Those undead creatures won't come here.

The only explanation for these things is those terrifying creatures in the world of the dead.

Shi Ji concealed his presence and cautiously approached the corpse. He noticed that the body appeared to be decaying.

Shi Ji tried to take out a tinderbox and light the campfire nearby, hoping to use the fire to illuminate the surrounding area. (End of Chapter)
