Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

But what kind of creatures are hidden inside this giant egg? Shi Ji was filled with curiosity.

He reached out and tried to push open the seemingly heavy stone door on one side of the giant egg. However, no matter how hard he tried, the stone door did not budge, as if it were integrated with the giant egg.

"what?"

Shi Ji's face showed a look of surprise. He could clearly feel that the weight of this stone door was far beyond his imagination. With his current strength, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to push it open.

But Shi Ji was never one to give up easily. He took a few steps back, then circulated his spiritual power and unleashed his signature divine ability—the Heaven-Mending Technique.

The Heaven-Mending Technique is an extremely powerful cultivation method. Legend has it that when cultivated to its peak, one can even possess the ability to repair the heavens.

Normally, whether it is various broken materials or cracks in everything in the world, as long as the Heaven-Mending Technique is used, most of them can be repaired. However, it cannot repair the physical damage of a living person.

At this moment, Shi Ji was using her own body as a medium to activate the Heaven-Mending Technique, hoping to use the power of this divine ability to find the weak point of the stone gate and open it.

However, to Shi Ji's surprise, even when he activated the Heaven-Mending Technique with all his might, the stone door remained unresponsive. The power of the Heaven-Mending Technique struck the stone door, vanishing without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Shi Ji sighed helplessly and had no choice but to give up her attempt for the time being. She sat cross-legged next to the giant egg and began to calmly cultivate the Heaven-Mending Technique, trying to further improve her control over this divine power. Perhaps with greater strength, she could find a way to open the stone gate.

Time passed quietly without anyone noticing. After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ji slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with confusion.

After this period of training, his understanding of the Heaven-Mending Technique had deepened, but when he tried to use the Heaven-Mending Technique to explore the giant egg and the stone gate again, he still found nothing.

"The Heaven-Mending Technique is completely ineffective? What's going on? Why can't I repair this giant egg even a little bit, or even explore its internal structure?"

Shi Ji frowned, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "I can't repair this giant egg. Could it be because this giant egg itself has some special connection with the art of mending the sky? If I can find a way to find the entrance from the other side of the giant egg, maybe I can go inside and explore!"

Thinking of this, Shi Ji immediately perked up. He stood up and took out his sword, the Black Dragon Sword, from his storage bag.

This Black Dragon Sword was forged from extraterrestrial black iron. It is incredibly sharp, and ordinary metals and stones are as fragile as paper in its presence.

Shi Ji gripped the Black Dragon Sword tightly with both hands, continuously channeling her spiritual power into the blade. A layer of black light immediately enveloped the sword, radiating an astonishing pressure.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ji shouted and thrust the Black Dragon Sword in her hand fiercely toward the side of the giant egg with a sharp whistling sound.

However, all that could be heard was a "clang".

With a deafening roar, the Black Dragon Sword not only failed to damage the giant egg, but was instead shaken by the force rebounding from its surface, causing it to vibrate and hum. A clear crack then spread along the blade, followed by a "crack."

With a loud thud, the Black Dragon Sword snapped in two and fell to the ground.

Shi Ji stared at the broken Black Dragon Sword on the ground, her face full of surprise.

He knew all too well how tough the Black Dragon Sword was; it wouldn't even be damaged by an attack from a top-grade spiritual weapon. Yet, it was easily shattered by the giant egg. The defensive capabilities of this giant egg were simply beyond imagination!
But Shi Ji did not give up. He took a deep breath, put the broken Black Dragon Sword back into his storage bag, and then took out another, more powerful weapon—the Stone Sword.

This stone sword has an extraordinary origin, containing an ancient and domineering power, far surpassing the Black Dragon Sword in strength.

Shi Ji gripped the stone sword with both hands, her spiritual power surging wildly within her body and pouring it all into the sword. The stone sword immediately burst forth with a dazzling light, and the pressure it emitted caused the entire cave to tremble slightly.

Then, Shi Ji swung her stone sword again and slashed fiercely at the giant egg.

This time, the stone sword collided with the giant egg, but instead of producing a deafening roar, they fell into a strange stalemate.

Shi Ji could clearly feel that the power on the stone sword was being continuously absorbed by the runes on the surface of the giant egg. No matter how much power he increased, he could not shake the giant egg in the slightest.

Such a powerful defense left even Shi Ji feeling helpless.

He stopped attacking, his brows furrowed, and he pondered to himself, "Could it be that there is a restriction set up on this giant egg by some powerful ancestor? Otherwise, with my strength, it's impossible that I couldn't even leave a trace?"

To verify her hypothesis, Shi Ji once again activated the stone sword, launching attacks on different parts of the giant egg, but the result remained unchanged; the stone sword was still unable to cause any damage to the giant egg.

Shi Ji's expression became uncertain. He really couldn't understand why this seemingly ordinary giant egg would have such terrifying defensive capabilities. What exactly was it?
Just as Shi Ji was lost in thought, an angry roar suddenly came from inside the giant egg: "Boy, what are you doing? Are you crazy? How dare you destroy my stone egg!"

"When I get out of here, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out, so you'll taste the agony of wishing for death!"

The voice was filled with resentment and anger, as if it came from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon hearing this voice, Shi Ji was immediately startled. He never expected that not only was there life inside the giant egg, but this being could also speak!
He had originally thought that what was sealed inside the giant egg was nothing more than a mindless, ferocious creature, but now it seemed that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

What is the origin of this being sealed within the giant egg? How could it possess such a strong consciousness and such venomous emotions?

Shi Ji composed herself and asked the giant egg in a deep voice, "What exactly are you? Why are you sealed inside this stone egg?"

There was a moment of silence inside the giant egg, followed by a strange laugh: "Hehehehe... I am a demonic fetus!"
This giant egg is a treasure my father painstakingly crafted. He hid me inside it and left me here to guard this secret!

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow slightly, "A demonic fetus?"

This was the first time he had heard of this name, and it didn't sound like a kind person.

His doubts deepened, and he continued to press, "I don't believe that an ordinary cave could give birth to a demonic fetus like you, which seems to defy the heavens."

What unknown things are still hidden within this cave?

"So what if you know? Even if you do, would you dare come in and find out?"

The voice of the demonic fetus was full of disdain and provocation, accompanied by a sinister smile.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji curled her lip and retorted without backing down, "Even you yourself are trapped inside this giant egg and dare not come out easily, so naturally I won't rashly go in either. After all, who knows if it's full of traps?" "Since you don't dare to come in, then let's just leave each other alone!"
Don't try to destroy my stone egg again, or even if I can't get out for the time being, I'll find a way to make you regret it!

The demonic fetus snorted coldly, its tone full of threat.

Then, Shi Ji heard a slight movement coming from inside the giant egg, as if the ghost fetus or demon fetus had burrowed back into the depths of the giant egg.

Immediately afterwards, the entire giant egg began to slowly wriggle and move towards the other side of the cave.

Upon seeing this, Shi Ji immediately hurried after him, trying to get closer to the giant egg again and find a way to enter it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the invisible barrier around the giant egg and could only watch helplessly as the giant egg receded into the distance.

In the end, Shi Ji had no choice but to give up for the time being, turn around and leave the mysterious cave, intending to go back and make further plans.

For the next few days, Shi Ji stayed in her residence, cultivating the Heaven-Mending Technique to improve her strength, while pondering the matter of the giant egg and the ghost fetus/demon fetus, hoping to find a solution.

On this day, he was sitting cross-legged on a futon, concentrating on using the Heaven-Mending Technique to absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing scream came from afar. The scream was like the wail of a vengeful ghost, with extremely strong penetrating power. It instantly shook the entire void and clearly reached Shi Ji's ears even from a great distance.

Shi Ji was startled by the sudden shout, and the spiritual energy circulating in her body immediately became disordered. Her body swayed uncontrollably and she almost fell to the ground.

He suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, his brows furrowed tightly as he looked in the direction of the sound, his face full of doubt and vigilance: "Who is calling out? There is such a powerful aura, could it be that some powerful demonic beast or enemy has appeared?"

Who's calling?

Shi Ji frowned.

The sharp, piercing scream still echoed in the void, carrying a chilling penetrating power, as if it would shatter one's very soul.

He forcefully suppressed the turbulent blood and qi within his body caused by the disordered spiritual energy, shifted his footwork, and his figure shot out like an arrow towards the direction from which the sound came.

Shi Ji moved extremely fast, her figure weaving through the mountains and forests, creating a whistling sound.

Before long, he arrived at the top of a mountain.

This mountain is extremely high; from the top, one can see the scenery for dozens of miles around.

Shi Ji looked into the distance, her pupils suddenly contracting – she saw countless insectoid creatures of various shapes slowly marching among the rolling mountains in the distance.

These insectoids were numerous and densely packed, surging through the mountains and forests like a black tide. Every kilometer or so, there were several larger insectoids leading the way. The entire procession moved in an extremely orderly manner, clearly under unified command.

Moreover, judging from the insects' movements, they do not seem to be migrating aimlessly, but rather they seem to be carefully searching for something.

Each insect lowered its head, constantly probing the surrounding grass, trees, and rocks with its antennae. Once it detected something unusual, it would emit a soft hiss, attracting other insects to gather around.

Shi Ji felt a chill run down her spine and quickly concealed her aura, disappearing behind a huge rock at the top of the mountain.

He held his breath and carefully observed the movements of the Zerg army below through the cracks in the rocks.

Judging from their cautious yet somewhat anxious demeanor, they are clearly searching for something extremely important to them.

"Could it be that they are searching for the secret hidden within that giant egg? Or is there some other treasure?"

Shi Ji secretly guessed to herself, her eyes full of curiosity.

He knew nothing about the origins of these insectoids, nor what they were searching for, but his intuition told him that their appearance must be closely related to the mysteries of this area.

To find out what was going on, Shi Ji decided to secretly follow them.

Taking advantage of the gaps in the Zerg army's advance, he followed silently behind the column like a nimble cheetah.

His footwork was extremely precise, each step placed in the blind spot of the Zerg's vision, while suppressing his aura to the extreme. Even if a Zerg looked back, they would not notice his presence at all.

The Zerg army marched into the depths of the mountains at a slow pace, seemingly making sure not to miss any suspicious spots.

Shi Ji followed behind, proceeding cautiously and not daring to slack off in the slightest.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly secluded, a faint fishy smell permeated the air, and the trees grew thicker and older. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, creating dappled light and shadow, which involuntarily instilled a sense of oppression in the hearts of those present.

Soon, the Zerg army arrived at the edge of a massive abyss.

This abyss was bottomless, with black mist slowly rising from its bottom, exuding a chilling aura.

The leading insects let out a sharp hiss, and then the entire insect army surged into the abyss like a tide, quickly disappearing into the black mist.

Shi Ji stood at the edge of the abyss, hesitating for a moment.

He knew that the abyss was full of unknown dangers, but his curiosity and determination to find the truth ultimately led him to continue forward.

He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy, and enveloped his body in a faint halo of light before leaping into the abyss.

The abyss was pitch black, and Shi Ji could only rely on her own senses to determine her direction.

As he continued to fall, the chilling aura around him grew stronger, and he could hear eerie wind whispering in his ears, as if countless wronged souls were murmuring in the darkness.

After falling for an unknown amount of time, Shiji finally felt her feet touch solid ground.

He steadied himself, took out a glowing crystal, and illuminated the surroundings. (End of Chapter)
