226: Tian Jie Li

“Family Head, Madam, it’s time to get up for the ancestral worship!” The maid’s voice came from outside the door, and Ji Yi remembered that he had to get up early today for the ancestral worship.

He got up with Ji Ziyan, dressed, and after washing, they walked to the ancestral hall again. After the ancestral worship, Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan had breakfast and then left the Ji Family. As newlyweds, they naturally had to go on their honeymoon.

Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan strolled hand in hand through the Desolate, visiting all the famous scenic spots, putting aside Cultivation and everything else.

Ten days later, a roar spread throughout the Desolate, or rather, throughout the Three Realms.

“The Heavenly Realm is established. All Saints and above must Ascend to the Heavenly Realm within one month.” A magnificent voice, this was the voice of the Heavenly Dao.

Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan were not disturbed by this news, as they had known about it for a long time. They continued to travel, and as the deadline for Ascension approached, Ji Yi took Ji Ziyan to infiltrate the Demon Race’s rear, arriving at Black Hole Star, allowing Ji Ziyan to comprehend the “Jie” Secret.

With the Nine Secrets gathered, Ji Ziyan’s Divine Soul, just like Ji Yi’s last time, merged with the entire world, seeing the major events that would happen in the future.

“Ziyan, what did you see?” Ji Yi saw that Ji Ziyan’s expression was a bit solemn, and couldn’t help but ask.

“I can’t see clearly, I just saw that several passages will appear in the Heavenly Realm in the future, and many figures enveloped in immortal light will enter the Heavenly Realm through those passages.” Ji Ziyan shook her head, the image was very blurry, she couldn’t see clearly.

“Never mind, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Let’s go back to the Ji Family first, and then prepare for Ascension,” Ji Yi said.

The two returned to the Ji Family. Most of the Saints in the Ji Family had already Ascended, after all, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket. No one knew the situation in the Heavenly Realm, and if something went wrong by going up together, wouldn’t it be a complete annihilation?

Ji Wu’s Family was still staying at the Ji Family. Two days after Ji Yi arrived, Ji Wu’s Family also Ascended.

With only one day left, Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan walked to the entrance, looked towards the east, and seemed to see the Heavenly Realm.

They exchanged glances, unleashed their Saint Qi, and sensed the guidance of the Heavenly Realm. Two beams of light descended from the Void Realm, enveloping Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan. Their figures slowly disappeared, flying eastward at a speed that transcended time.

Ji Yi felt as if his body had passed through a layer of barrier. His vision recovered, and he had arrived in a world that was both familiar and strange.

It was familiar because Ji Yi had been to the Three Realms Battlefield before, and the Heavenly Realm had evolved from the Three Realms Battlefield. Ji Yi was very familiar with the Laws here.

It was strange because the changes here were too great. The planets that were there before had completely disappeared, leaving only an endless continent beneath their feet.

Moreover, the world here was more stable. With Ji Yi’s strength, he actually felt that he couldn't break through the Void Realm here, and the gravity was much stronger. Ji Yi felt that without reaching the Celestial Altar Realm or above, it would be impossible to survive here.

Three Divine Thoughts enveloped Ji Yi. Ji Yi felt goodwill, malice, and disappointment from them.

“Ji Yi, Ziyan, you’ve arrived.” A familiar voice transmitted through a Divine Thought, it was Four Ancestor’s voice.

“Four Ancestor!” Ji Yi said excitedly. Hearing the Old Ancestor’s voice made Ji Yi very happy.

“It’s me.” A figure walked out of the Void Realm. Who else could it be but Four Ancestor?

“It’s truly wonderful to see you.” Ji Yi said excitedly, and Ji Ziyan was also very excited.

“Let’s go! We can talk as we walk.” Four Ancestor took Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan into the Void Realm and flew back eastward.

“Four Ancestor, how did you happen to be here?” Ji Yi was very curious. Ascension to the Heavenly Realm was random, so he didn’t expect to meet Four Ancestor. It was truly fortunate.

“I happened to be here to receive people. Now that the Saints of the Three Realms have begun to Ascend, our three parties have made an agreement to stop the war and wait until we bring you Ascenders back to our respective territories before resuming. Therefore, powerful individuals from each side have dispersed, their Divine Thoughts covering various areas, and when they find their own people, they receive and bring them back. The other two Divine Thoughts just now, one was from the Demon Race, and the other was from the Desolate,” Four Ancestor explained.

“So that’s how it is.” Ji Yi understood.

“How is the situation in the Heavenly Realm now?” Ji Yi asked a crucial question.

“The Demon Race is powerful. Now we and the Desolate are working together to resist the Demon Race, maintaining a temporary balance. However, the Demon Race has deep foundations, and the situation is not optimistic.” Four Ancestor also showed a worried expression when he mentioned this. The Demon Race’s powerful individuals emerged endlessly, putting a lot of pressure on them.

“Are the Venerable Ancestors doing well? Seventh Ancestor and Eighth Ancestor…” Ji Yi’s face showed sadness.

“Alas…” Four Ancestor shook his head, sighing. The Ji Family had suffered heavy casualties.

“I haven’t congratulated you two on becoming Dao Companions yet.” Four Ancestor changed the subject.

“Thank you, Four Ancestor,” Ji Yi said, and Ji Ziyan also thanked him.

The Heavenly Realm was vast, even larger than the Desolate Continent. However, as a Great Emperor, Four Ancestor was very fast, and it didn’t even take half a day to bring Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan back to the Desolate territory.

Although the Heavenly Realm was divided into three factions, many places were unclaimed because none of the parties had enough manpower to station there. Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan just happened to land in an unclaimed area.

The territory occupied by the Desolate faction was vast, even larger than the Desolate Continent. The Ji Family’s chosen territory this time was in the middle.

Upon landing in the Ji Family’s palace, Ji Yi saw his relatives whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

“Father, Mother!” The Ji Yi Family embraced each other, weeping tears of joy. They had been separated for too long, and worry had accumulated in their hearts. Now that they finally saw their dearest relatives, they were very excited and joyful.

“Ziyan, you are so beautiful. This bracelet is for you.” Jiang Xue’er held Ji Ziyan’s hand and handed her a bracelet.

“Thank you, Auntie,” Ji Ziyan thanked her.

“Still calling me Auntie?”

“Thank you, Mother,” Ji Ziyan said shyly.

“Haha… This boy Ji Yi marrying you is his good fortune cultivated over three lifetimes. Come, let’s have a good gathering.” Ji Bufan said with a smile, and a group of people walked into the Family Head’s main hall.

“Greetings, respected elders!” At this moment, many Ji Family members had already gathered in the Family Head’s main hall. Ji Yi led Ji Ziyan in greeting them.

“Both Saint Kings, not bad.” Second Ancestor nodded.

“Second Ancestor, you flatter me,” Ji Yi said humbly.

“Not at all. At your age, I wasn’t as powerful as you two,” Second Ancestor said with a smile.

Other elders also greatly praised Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan. To be Saint Kings at less than thirty years old, they had never heard of such a thing before.

“The rest of you need to work harder. Many of you are ten or a hundred times older than Ji Yi and Ziyan, yet your Cultivation is not as high as these two young people,” Third Ancestor said, appropriately putting some pressure on the middle-aged generation of the Ji Family.

“We obey Third Ancestor’s command!” The others responded. They were also helpless; they had clearly worked very hard, but their talent was simply not enough.
