Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

Upon entering the palace, Shi Zhao immediately sensed an ancient and weathered atmosphere.

Once a peerless powerhouse ignited a divine fire, establishing an ancient kingdom that ruled over vast territories. Over countless years, these magnificent and imposing ancient buildings have become a testament to those bygone eras.

The palace was beautiful, with scenic views everywhere, but Shi Zhao had no interest in appreciating it and only wanted to quickly enter the temple to take a look.

She followed an old chief guard as they walked back and forth. Some areas of the palace were equipped with spatial arrays, which were equivalent to small worlds, and were unimaginably vast.

Finally, we stepped into a sparsely vegetated Gobi desert and walked quite a distance before reaching our destination.

An ancient temple, bathed in the glow of the morning sun, exudes a sacred and peaceful aura.

This is the most important place for the royal family—the Temple!

"Ahem, from ancient times to the present, the Temple of the Emperor has stood firm, and all the royal secrets are stored here. It is the foundation of the nation's great principles," the old head guard said.

He was very old, extremely frail, dressed in gray, and spoke very calmly.

Shi Zhao was finally moved; this was the place she longed for most at that moment.

The surrounding area was quiet and vast. In front of the ancient temple stood only an old pine tree, which was very vigorous and had cracked bark, resembling an old dragon coiled up there.

There are no soldiers here, because there is no need for them. It is located deep within the palace, and there must be royal figures stationed here, making it an impregnable fortress.

"Um?"

Shi Zhao was astonished. As she climbed the steps of the temple, she felt an indescribable Daoist aura that made her feel somewhat dazed.

The head guard was surprised, a golden light flashing in his eyes—a pair of extremely sharp pupils, like those of a golden-winged roc.

Over the long course of history, countless emperors have studied ancient texts here, naturally leaving behind an indelible aura of the Great Dao.

Over time, the temple seemed to have become spiritually connected.

In the past, there have been occasional people who have entered a state of enlightenment here, without consulting scriptures or relying on books, simply because of this ancient temple, but such people are few and far between.

When Shi Zhao first came here, he had never seen the bone book before, yet he directly touched upon the traces of "Tao," resonated with it, and fell into enlightenment, which naturally surprised everyone.

In an instant, flowers rained down in front of the temple gate, their vibrant petals engulfing Shi Zhao and radiating rainbows that surrounded her.

She herself emitted a shimmering, precious light, and a Daoist sound, like the grand and resonant tolling of a great bell, rippled through the void.

This is a manifestation of the primordial spirit approaching the Dao, resonating with heaven and earth, and coexisting with the Great Dao.

Especially between his eyebrows, wisps of purple-gold mist emanated and then disappeared into his brows, radiating a divine glow and gathering there into a small purple-gold lake.

This is because the primordial spirit is too powerful, far exceeding the physical body, and can no longer be improved. It can only be transformed into spiritual power and condensed into a physical form.

Shi Zhao felt that his spiritual sense was also constantly transforming. Wherever his divine sense went, he could perceive everything around him without eyes or ears, which was very ethereal.

In addition, there was another change that surprised her: because her primordial spirit was so strong, it actually nourished her physical body in an unpredictable way, moisturizing every inch of her body and enhancing her physique.

Although few in number, they held extraordinary significance, foreshadowing that her future cultivation would be even smoother, as her mind and body would be ethereal and in harmony with the Dao.

Soon after, Shi Zhao awoke, his mind clear and empty.

Although he did not achieve any improvement in his cultivation or any specific insights due to his low level of cultivation and insufficient accumulation, he still managed to shake off the unease and impatience he had felt before.

At this moment, her primordial spirit became more refined, and her physical body became more spiritual. Not only was she nourished and her spirit and body became one, but she also came closer to the Dao, which would greatly benefit her future.

In a sense, this is more important than breaking through a realm, because it is accumulating potential and expanding one's own inexhaustible spiritual treasures, so that one can soar to the sky sooner or later!

"Incredible! The younger generation is truly formidable!" the head guard sighed softly.

He knew the girl's background; she came from the Wu King's mansion and was specially granted entry into the temple by the Emperor. He knew without guessing that she must be exceptionally talented, but he never expected her to be this amazing.

With such talent, it's unlikely that he would be inferior to those with double pupils.

Shi Zhao, with his bright, clear eyes, stepped lightly into the temple.

A grand and sacred aura wafts over you, accompanied by the majesty of an imperial road, making this place extremely solemn and dignified.

Rows of white jade tables are neatly arranged, with many ancient bone books on them. Looking up, the surrounding walls are covered with carvings, each depicting an ancient creature with lifelike detail.

"That's the Golden-Winged Roc Soaring to the Sky Diagram, engraved with the true meaning of the Golden Roc Clan. Although it was left behind by a remnant species, it's still a decent Dao diagram," the old guard captain said, pointing to a wall.

Shi Zhao's eyes flickered slightly. If she remembered correctly, this old guard chief was actually a golden-winged roc that lived in seclusion in the royal palace of the Shi Kingdom.

She stared intently at the engraving and could see that the Great Roc Diagram was engraved with unique runes, representing the Golden Roc Clan's inherited treasure techniques.

The mark kept changing, like the stars in the sky, constantly shifting, complex and mysterious.

Normally, even with her exceptional talent and astonishing spiritual power, it would take her at least half a day to memorize all the changes on her first viewing.

But just as Shi Zhao was gazing at the Golden-Winged Roc painting, the tattered cloth deep within her sea of ​​consciousness, which had remained largely still, suddenly began to react slightly.

Her primordial spirit sat cross-legged on the side marked with the seven stars, while on the originally blank side, a golden-winged roc gradually emerged, spreading its wings as if about to take flight and soar into the sky.

The golden-winged roc soared into the sky, then transformed into a rune that was branded onto the tattered cloth.

"This..." Shi Zhao did not expect the rag to move at this time.

While she was surprised, she was more concerned about what benefits this could bring her.

However, now is not the time to delve into this. There is a real Golden-Winged Roc nearby, and it wouldn't be good if he caused some serious trouble.

Shi Zhao forced himself to calm down and looked away without showing any emotion.

It must be said that after experiencing the changes at the Prince Wu's mansion, she became much more composed.

"That's the Suanni Playing with the Heavens Diagram, carrying ten thousand feet of lightning, soaring into the nine heavens, and bombarding the heavens," the old guard captain continued, oblivious to anything amiss.

"I heard while I was in the palace that my Shi Kingdom has two great national treasures, both of which are ancient celestial-level ferocious beast techniques, one of which is the Suanni Technique," Shi Zhao said.

"That's right, but what this Suanni Playing with the Heavens Map records is only the treasured techniques of the descendant species. The true pure-blooded divine powers are in the hands of the Human Emperor." The old guard captain explained, thinking she didn't understand.

"What a pity," Shi Zhao said with some regret.

The old guard captain smiled and said, "You are valued by King Wu, so the Emperor has given you special permission to come here to study the Bixi Treasure Technique, which is also a national treasure. As for the Suanni Technique, if you perform exceptionally well in the future, you may also be able to learn it."

Shi Zhao showed an interested expression and automatically ignored the pie in the sky that followed.

In fact, she also knew that long ago, the Stone Kingdom had a third method, which was passed down by the ancient sacrificial spirits, but unfortunately it was completely lost during the turmoil.

While the Bixie magic appears complete, it is actually missing a part, lacking some runes.

The two continued walking forward. There were many bone books that recorded various cultivation methods, as well as some jade bone fragments and silver secret manuals.

As Shi Zhao looked through the pages, he increasingly felt that this was a good place.

Finally, she stood before a painting of a peacock, and five-colored divine light ripped through the sky, which was extremely mysterious.

This is also the most profound technique she has mastered in her cultivation, personally taught by an elder of the Wu King's Mansion, and mostly practiced by women of the Shi Clan.

Perhaps that's why the rags didn't react in the first place.
