345: A mortal body, on par with gods

The eight Ji Ziyan did not attack the imprints of Emperor Zun and the others.

They looked at each other, then met Ji Ziyan's gaze; this moment had finally arrived.

"Heaven's Gate, open!" the eight Ji Ziyan shouted sweetly. Time, Chaos, Reincarnation, Karma, Yin and Yang, Creation, Destruction, and Power—eight supreme Great Daos shot out from the hands of the eight Ji Ziyan, converging above Ji Ziyan.

A gate appeared above Ji Ziyan's head, Immortal Qi surged forth from it, and the pressure of the Immortal Realm permeated through the gate. The imprints of Emperor Zun and the others stopped, for that pressure made their hearts tremble, feeling that something bad would happen if they continued to act.

As the gate slowly opened, it continuously grew taller: one zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, all the way to ten thousand zhang.

At ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-two zhang, the gate stopped growing. The eight Ji Ziyan exchanged glances, then leaped into the gate one after another. As each figure entered the gate, the gate also increased in height zhang by zhang, eventually reaching a colossal height of ten thousand zhang.

"Collect!" Ji Ziyan embraced the Heaven's Gate. The Heaven's Gate descended, falling towards Ji Ziyan's glabella. Finally, the Heaven's Gate vanished, completely settling into Ji Ziyan's glabella.

"What is this gate?" Everyone looked at each other in dismay. This was the first time they had seen such a thing; there was no record of it.

Emperor Zun and the others also did not recognize it. One must know that their true bodies currently had a trace of consciousness connected here, and they were doing quite well in the Immortal Realm, but none of them understood this thing.

Although they didn't recognize it, it didn't stop them from thinking it was incredibly impressive. It was the first time they had heard of something that could directly connect to the Immortal Realm; it was truly amazing.

"Incredible! To open the three gates of Heaven, Earth, and Man as a Mortal, this is truly a Mortal body standing shoulder to shoulder with Divine Beings. I am referring to the Innatel Divine Beings from when the Three Realms first opened," the System said.

"System, you finally spoke! If you hadn't spoken, readers would have thought you were gone," Ji Yi said.

"That's not my fault. Blame the stupid author," the System said with dissatisfaction.

"Indeed," Ji Yi agreed, as the two of them courted death recklessly on the brink of destruction.

Ji Ziyan's gaze was calm as she looked at Emperor Zun and the others.

Emperor Zun and the others moved, continuing their assault on her.

"Whoosh..." The sound of flowing water resounded, and long rivers appeared, a total of Three Thousand. Three Thousand Great Daos, Three Thousand Long Rivers. Such a magnificent scene made even the Heavenly Emperor feel incredibly small.

"Oh my goodness, we both cultivate the Dao, so why is Daoist Ji so outstanding?"

"I feel like the Dao I cultivate is fake."

"Brother Ji and sister-in-law are truly Divine Beings. With these two in the Desolate lands, if we cling tightly to their thighs, we can still walk sideways in the Immortal Realm in the future."

Everyone was convinced. In front of Ji Yi and Ji Ziyan, what Saint Body, Divine Body, or Bloodline? These were all fleeting clouds that would scatter with a blow.

Of course, Ji Hongmeng's Hongmeng Saint Body was another matter. This was also an extremely Heaven-Defying Physique, considered the strongest Physique even within the Three Realms.

Emperor Zun and the others were defeated, and it was only natural. With the charge of the Three Thousand Long Rivers, all Divine Abilities were superfluous. They were directly submerged by the Three Thousand Long Rivers, disappearing between heaven and earth, without even time to say hello.

"These juniors truly don't know how to respect elders and cherish the young," Emperor Zun and the others sighed. A wisp of consciousness returned to the Immortal Realm. Only by achieving Immortal King status could one transmit a wisp of consciousness down after an imprint in a Major Thousand Worlds was activated.

After the pillar of creation light disappeared, Ji Yi came to Ji Ziyan's side and gave her a big hug.

This time, the Ji Family and the Ji Family together held a Dao Proving Ceremony for Ji Ziyan. The continuous joyous events diluted the gloom of the Evil God Clan hanging over their heads. They would retrieve everything they had lost sooner or later.

With another Heavenly Emperor-level combatant, Ji Yi felt it was time for them to stir up some trouble again. After years of progress, Ji Ping'an had also reached the strength of a Half-Step Taboo, and soon they would have another Heavenly Emperor-level combatant.

The six of them gathered to discuss their strategy.

"We need to give the Evil God Clan something to do," Ji Yi said.

"The Evil God Clan is on guard. Although our strength is not weak, the risk is still quite high."

"So we need to find reinforcements. We can find the Demon Race; they also need to deal with the Evil God Clan."

"But we don't know where the Demon Race is."

"I can roughly deduce that. Let me try to deduce it first," Ji Yi said.

Ji Yi closed his eyes, activated the "Pre" character secret, and thought of the Demon Race. A scene appeared in his Divine Thought: it was a place of ice and snow, with howling cold winds, and an extremely harsh environment.

"They are in a place of ice and snow. If my estimation is correct, they should be in the Extreme North," Ji Yi opened his eyes and mused.

"That place is indeed possible. When I explored the Immortal Realm before, I went there. Cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor realm simply cannot survive there," the Barbarian Race Heavenly Emperor said.

"Then let's go to the Extreme North first and find the Demon Race," the Third Ancestor decided.

The six set off, heading north along the sea.

Ten days later, they had already entered the frozen sea.

Changing direction, they flew directly towards the mainland.

The biting cold wind could not be fully described by the word "bone-chilling"; even a Great Saint Weapon thrown in could be torn apart.

"This place is actually a treasure trove. The spirit minerals that can survive here are at least of Quasi-Emperor level or higher," Ji Yi said.

"Its existence has its reasons. However, to fully explore the Immortal Realm, if the Evil God Clan continues to develop like this, it would take tens of millions of years. If it were still us Cultivators of the Three Regions dominating the Immortal Realm, it would probably take tens of millions of years to have a chance, and that's still because of the existence of the "Yin Yang Creation Scripture,"" the Third Ancestor said with a distant gaze.

Everyone put away their thoughts. Now was not the time for exploration. First, they had to find the Demon Race and give the Evil God Clan a severe blow.

The Extreme North was vast. Divine Thought expanded here would be torn apart by the cold wind, so they could only rely on their eyes to search. However, the Demon Race, to avoid the Evil God Clan, would certainly not expose themselves so easily.

After sufficiently deep penetration, Ji Yi and the others had no choice but to take a risk. The Third Ancestor unleashed his Heavenly Emperor Qi, flying all the way. As long as the Demon Race sensed the Third Ancestor's Qi, they believed they would appear.

Searching in this manner, not missing a single place, a month passed. Ji Yi didn't expect it to be so difficult.

However, they would not give up. The three Heavenly Emperors took turns erupting their Qi, as the Demon Race's Heavenly Emperors were familiar with their Qi.

During this period, Ji Yi and the others also had some gains, acquiring quite a few Half God Medicine and Undying Divine Medicine. They also encountered many spirit minerals, as it was a place never explored by Cultivators.

There was indeed life here: Vicious Beasts and manifestations of the Dao. However, these were not obstacles for Ji Yi and the others. Those lives trembled under the Heavenly Emperor's Qi, only able to watch helplessly as Ji Yi and the others collected resources.
