Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

The corpse's claws actually blocked Shi Ji's attack.

A deep roar suddenly rang out, and the corpse raised its right hand to strike the rock.

Shi Ji snorted coldly, activated the Great Destiny Technique, and unleashed the Destiny Blade formed by the Great Destiny Technique.

With a tearing sound, the Blade of Destiny pierced through the corpse's defenses and then sliced ​​into its chest.

The sound of bones cracking could be heard.

The corpse's body was cleaved into pieces by Shi Ji.

And after smashing that corpse.

A crystal, about the size of a fist, flew out, emanating a vast life force as boundless as the ocean.

Shi Ji's eyes suddenly brightened.

"This is the source of the curse, used to nourish living beings. Over the years, countless experts have perished, but there are still many cultivators who have obtained the source of the curse. It is said that as long as you obtain more than three pieces of the source of the curse..."

It's possible to craft curse runes, but in recent years, no one has ever been heard of successfully crafting them. Perhaps it's because crafting curse runes is too difficult, and therefore, it hasn't been passed down!

Shi Ji took the source of the curse.

They continued deeper into the mountains, where it grew increasingly dark.

Black fog surged everywhere.

A scene of wailing and howling.

A sharp, piercing cry suddenly rang out, and flocks of vicious birds appeared in the void.

Those vicious birds, densely packed, swept towards Shi Ji and the others like a tidal wave.

At this moment, the white-robed elder said, "These evil birds are extremely powerful. Even a Celestial King would have his flesh devoured by them. Let's quickly get away from these evil birds to avoid being injured by them!"

Shi Ji nodded and, together with the white-robed elder and the others, dodged the attacks of the vicious birds.

They faced numerous calamities along their journey.

Although the vicious birds did not attack them, they did chase after them.

An hour later.

Shi Ji and the others arrived at a canyon.

They saw the huge valley.

Meanwhile, the area surrounding the valley was shrouded in endless resentment.

This valley is the Temple of the Cursed.

The vengeful spirits formed from those resentful emotions are entrenched around the valley.

"The Cursed Temple is infested with powerful ferocious beasts; it is a forbidden area. Do not venture inside rashly!"

The old man in white robes gave a solemn reminder.

The others nodded in agreement, and they decided to take a detour, but they found that the vengeful spirits showed no intention of leaving and still blocked the entrance to the valley, preventing them from entering.

"These vengeful spirits seem to be filled with hostility towards the living; they seem to want to devour them!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's expression suddenly darkened.

Those vengeful spirits wanted to devour the cultivator's life essence.

What is the origin of these vengeful spirits?

Could it be that they are all beings born from the source of the curse?

Shi Ji felt that her speculation was very likely true.

"What do we do? These vengeful spirits are blocking our way; we can't get into the valley at all!"

"Rest assured, everyone, we have a way to deal with these vengeful spirits!"

Shi Ji said, and then took out several flame talismans.

Shi Ji then threw the flame talismans away.

The flame talisman instantly burst into flames.

The flame talismans exploded, forming clusters of blazing flames.

The flames enveloped the vengeful spirits.

Those vengeful spirits clearly dared not touch the flames.

They all fled.

"Hehe, let me show you my incense talisman!"

The demon lord laughed and took out a pile of ashes, which he threw out and the ashes burst into flames.

The vengeful spirits were engulfed by flames.

A mournful cry rang out, and all the vengeful spirits turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

"What an amazing incense talisman! It can even easily deal with such a terrifying vengeful spirit. It's truly unbelievable!"

The old man in white robes couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"Incense talismans are indeed good things!"

Shi Ji also expressed her admiration.

The demon lord said, "However, the incense talisman is only suitable for sealing; if used to kill enemies, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

Shi Ji nodded; the Demon Lord's words made some sense.

They continued walking forward, traversing a winding path for a full hundred meters before arriving at another area.

In the area ahead stood a tightly closed stone door.

The stone gate was covered with various strange runes.

Upon seeing those runes, Shi Ji frowned.

She felt that the runes were very familiar.

A sudden thought flashed through Shi Ji's mind, and she remembered the strange runes she had seen.

She had seen those strange runes in an ancient tomb, where she had almost lost her life.

But later.

Shiji discovered that the owners of those ancient tombs had been dead for many years.

She even suspected that the runes she saw might be clues left by the owner of the ancient tomb.

However, all of this was just Shi Ji's speculation, and she suppressed the matter for the time being.

"Hey, what's that?" The white-robed old man pointed to the mountain wall. Shi Ji looked over and saw several ancient medicinal plants growing on the mountain wall, each of which was surrounded by a faint ethereal glow.

Shi Ji was astonished to find that several medicinal herbs were growing here.

These medicinal herbs were also extremely beneficial to her, so Shi Ji quickly went to the side of the mountain wall and picked a few medicinal herbs.

She then collected the medicinal herbs and entrusted them to the white-robed elder for safekeeping.

Shi Ji said, "Many immortal herbs grow here. I need these herbs to refine pills to heal my injuries. I hope my fellow disciples can help me take good care of these immortal herbs!"

"No problem, leave it to us!"

The crowd responded, knowing that Shi Ji was indeed a person.

They naturally wouldn't object to helping Shiji take care of these magical herbs.

Immediately, Shi Ji took the woman and followed the Demon Lord away quickly.

Half a day later, an extremely powerful wave emanated from the front.

Then a huge skull emerged, and this huge skull had nine horns.

This skull is very special.

Shi Ji did not recognize this skull.

But the Demon Lord recognized him.

The Demon Lord said, "These are the souls of the underworld, and they are underworld soldiers under the command of the Lord of the Underworld. Their combat power is extremely strong!"

"Netherworld soldiers?" Shi Ji raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Netherworld soldiers! The army under the command of the Lord of the Underworld!"

The Demon Lord nodded and said.

Shi Ji frowned slightly and said, "Since this is the mausoleum of the Lord of the Underworld, doesn't that mean that the remains of the Underworld Emperor might be buried here?"

Upon hearing Shi Ji's words, the Demon Lord's breathing became rapid.
That's one of the strongest beings in the underworld...

If it really is the tomb of the Underworld Emperor.

Perhaps we can find many treasures left behind by the Underworld Emperor.

Shi Ji said, "That's certainly a strong possibility, but our current task isn't to find the Underworld Emperor's tomb!"

The Demon Lord nodded, knowing that the main purpose of this trip was to seek opportunities, not to explore the tomb of the Underworld Emperor.

The two continued their journey, traveling for another half an hour or so. They finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Cursed Mountains.

The core area of ​​the Cursed Mountains is home to many powerful and ferocious creatures, but they have all been suppressed.

Even so, powerful and ferocious beasts still lurk deep within.

Shi Ji and the others activated the Taiyin Ancient Scripture, concealing their auras, and quietly crept over.

During this period, Shiji also studied the Taiyin Ancient Scripture.

Because he felt that after cultivating the Taiyin Ancient Scripture, his Taiyin Ancient Scripture realm seemed to have made a new breakthrough, Shi Ji felt that he should not be far from comprehending the third level of the Taiyin Ancient Scripture, the Yin-Yang realm.

They entered a huge cave.

This cave appears to have been dug out by some kind of creature, and its interior space is enormous.

The unseen Lord of the Underworld seemed to have set up some schemes in this cave, so when Shiji and the Demon Lord entered this place, they felt that this area had become another world.

Shiji sensed many unfamiliar fluctuations.

Those were all sorts of restrictions, formations, and other forces, some of which had even fully revived, radiating an incomparably terrifying pressure.

With so much power gathered in one place, Shi Ji and the Demon Lord walked forward with solemn expressions.

Not long after, they saw several corpses.

"What a cruel method! To use these corpses as sacrifices to that powerful figure?"

The demon lord frowned and said, his face full of anger.

Shi Ji squinted at the corpses.

He sensed a powerful aura of death emanating from the corpses; it was a sinister and eerie aura. When that sinister and eerie aura was released, Shi Ji felt a chill run through her body.

Shi Ji soon discovered that the corpses had all died from the attack of the curse spell.

Shi Ji recalled the rumors she had heard before.

It is said that the lord of the underworld possesses many curse techniques.

Was he executed because of this incident?
"That guy is truly remarkable; he has mastered so many curse techniques!"

Shi Ji fell into deep thought. That Lord of the Underworld possessed many powerful curse techniques.

Shi Ji had already guessed this.

if not.

How could he possibly perish in the cursed mountains?
He buried these curses in various places deep within the Cursed Mountains.

Every so often, his divine sense would descend upon that place.

He is waiting for his body to be resurrected and return, and then, with the help of those bodies, to restore his former glory.

only.

That being clearly underestimated the danger of the Cursed Mountains.

Although his curse technique was extremely powerful.

But it still perished in the calamity.

He truly deserved to die.

Which strong person with any ability would want to die easily?
Therefore, it is normal for that being to die. After all, that being was too powerful. If one did not have enough strength, one would probably die at the hands of others.
Shi Ji said, "We should avoid these curses, lest we get burned!"

Then Shiji and the Demon Lord quickly traversed this area.

They then came to a river.

In the distance, a huge rock stands on the riverbank.

"This giant rock must be the key to entering the gates of the underworld!"

"That's what the Demon Lord said."

"Let's go, climb that giant rock!"

Shi Ji said, and she and the Demon Lord climbed onto the boulder, where they examined it carefully.

Shi Ji took out an iron shovel and turned over the soil around the boulder, revealing the outline of a stone door.

Shi Ji tried to open the stone door.

However, it simply cannot be opened.

That stone door was sealed.

Shi Ji said, "A powerful force is needed to open this stone door!"

"I'm here to help you!"

"That's what the Demon Lord said."

He then took out a rune.

That rune is called the Immobilization Rune.

It is a rune specifically designed to counteract curses.

The demon lord cast a spell to immobilize the boulder, slamming it directly onto the rock.

A violent tremor immediately emanated from inside the stone gate.

The stone gate was completely shaken.

Shi Ji hurriedly retrieved the immobilization talisman, then activated the stone gate to open, and the two rushed out of the boulder.

After the stone gate opened.

Shiji was discovered.

That being seems to have perished.

The corpse of that being sat cross-legged on the ground, draped in a black robe.

His face was concealed by a black robe.

But after Shi Ji and the Demon Lord exchanged a glance, their pupils suddenly contracted.

They discovered that a woman appeared to be standing inside the black robe.

The woman was very beautiful.

She was tall and had fair skin.

A wisp of mist swirled around him.

What is this female ghost?

Shi Ji and the Demon Lord's expressions changed slightly. Their gazes swept around, trying to find where the female ghost was hiding...

"I'm here, young man. Your courage is quite astonishing, daring to trespass into this place. You truly deserve to be called a young hero. Do you know the secret of this place?"

The female ghost laughed.

Her voice was extremely melodious and pleasant to listen to, almost like celestial music, but the identity of this female ghost was very strange.

Shi Ji couldn't help but touch her nose.

This female ghost didn't emit any aura, and her tone seemed different from that of an ordinary woman; it sounded like a man's voice.
Shi Ji couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Could it be that you are a man dressed as a woman, deliberately trying to seduce someone?"

"Little brother, I like you! How about you follow me?"

The female ghost smiled and beckoned to Shi Ji with her jade-like finger.

Shi Ji couldn't help but cough twice. This female ghost was really quite flamboyant.

Shi Ji curled her lip and said, "I have no interest in men dressed as women!"

"Oh my, you're pretty spicy, kid. Since you're so spicy, I'll eat you up!"

As the female ghost spoke, she lunged at the rocky shore.

"Be careful!" the demon lord warned, worried that the female ghost might harm Shi Ji.

Shi Ji did not panic. He threw out both fists at once, instantly smashing them towards the female ghost who was rushing towards him.

A series of violent collisions suddenly rang out. After hundreds of exchanges, Shi Ji seized an opportunity and sent the female ghost flying.

The female ghost's strength was indeed terrifying. Even though Shi Ji was incredibly powerful, she was no match for the female ghost. However, it was also extremely difficult for the female ghost to kill Shi Ji. In the end, the female ghost was defeated.

"Little sister, I advise you to leave this place, otherwise you will surely die today. If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? I guarantee you'll regret it!"

"Kid! You really think you're someone important? Let me tell you, even if you have an Emperor-level being backing you, I'll still wipe you out!"

The female ghost grinned maliciously.

"Oh? Is that so? I'd like to see how you're going to destroy me!"

Shi Ji's expression was indifferent.

His figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

"Huh, it escaped?" the female ghost said in surprise. (End of Chapter)
