Ji Xiang merely glanced over there but had no way to go and watch the excitement for the moment.
Because he had already broken through to the Fifth Realm, he had to take this opportunity to usher in a position.
"There are very few people in the world who can usher in the Great Demon of the Azure Heaven. Even if I changed the first nine reincarnations in the exam, the last one remains unchanged. Perhaps the person taking the exam will find the previous parts particularly easy, as the first nine lives were all filled with hardship followed by joy. If they cannot comprehend the last life themselves, it will plunge them into boundless despair..."
Ji Xiang exchanged a glance with the Floating Li spiritual light that was undergoing the examination. The Great Floating Li Earth around him was vast and boundless, with the phantoms of countless divine tablets manifesting.
Of course, the first thought in Ji Xiang's mind was, since he had already become an immortal, could he write a divine name on a blank divine tablet?
Perhaps, no need to usher in?
Ji Xiang attempted to circulate his mana, manifesting divine light within his inner vision, but he could not write his own name on the blank divine tablet. Any mana that flowed onto the tablet would be gently repelled.
Mana could not write, and incense could not touch. After trying for a while, Ji Xiang found there was no way.
"If I cannot write my own name, what changes will occur when ushering in other deities?"
Ji Xiang blinked and came back to his senses, facing all the other divine tablets.
Of course, if he were to usher in a deity, Ji Xiang's first choice would be Marshal Tian Peng, for no other reason than Marshal Tian Peng possessed more weapons. His divine image was that of three heads and six arms, with a weapon in each hand.
"Bringing my gear, fully armed, which ignorant fool would dare to challenge me?"
This Marshal Tian Peng was not the second disciple. The true Marshal Tian Peng was far more powerful than the second disciple!
Of course, Marshal Tian Peng's position was a great position within the Heavenly Department. Since he had become an immortal, he could theoretically usher in a great position within the Heavenly Department...
However, his own hard strength was insufficient. In reality, he didn't know what level of deity he could usher in.
Perhaps he could try his best.
Ji Xiang did not intend to give up. One must always do something first before saying whether it can be done or not!
"Esteemed deities, who is willing to descend to the mortal realm with me?"
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, he spoke, scattering them across the ten directions of Floating Li. These thoughts carried a call, hoping to attract the attention of the divine tablets.
Gradually, the silent divine tablets began to light up. Some flickered dimly, while others shone brightly.
His physical strength was insufficient at this moment, so he could not usher in too powerful a position.
However, since Ji Xiang had passed the trial of the Azure Heaven Demon King, he could at least usher in a minor position within the Heavenly Department. After all, he had "become an immortal," and he possessed this much authority.
Ji Xiang could feel that from all directions, the minor positions within the Heavenly Department were sending back responses and vibrations!
Compared to the great positions within the Heavenly Department, there were very few responses.
"Even the twentieth rank of a minor deity in the Heavenly Department is equivalent to the Ninth Realm's 'Five Qi Towards the Origin' in the mortal world. After that, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Yellow Court all correspond to minor positions in the Heavenly Department."
Ji Xiang could feel and see that countless minor deities from the Heavenly Department were emitting divine light in response.
The demons within the Demon Fiend Department appeared first. Many divine tablets among them vibrated intensely, emitting points of light, as if they were satisfied with Ji Xiang's previous demonic trial and were ready to pre-emptively select him.
Thus, several divine tablets from the Demon Fiend Department flew out, carrying divine light.
Just as Ji Xiang was about to examine them closely, a dazzling electric shock came from the horizon!
A muffled thunderclap echoed, and within the phantom of a thunder city, countless divine tablets overflowed with thunder and lightning, pushing the divine tablet of the Heavenly Aspect Grand Demon Lord aside with their electrical currents.
Several divine tablets flew out from the thunder city, all of them being great generals of the Thunder Department!
The Thirty-Six Thunder Generals!
The ranks of these heavenly generals far surpassed those of the two great demon lords, all within the top seventeen!
"It's not enough, I can still see further!"
"There can be even stronger deities to protect me!"
Ji Xiang's consciousness continued to gaze further into Floating Li, calling out loudly, his thoughts turning thousands of times without stopping!
Gradually, the divine tablets that responded to Ji Xiang became stronger and stronger!
From other places, more divine tablets flew out, their divine light illuminating Floating Li, momentarily resembling a galaxy of stars, shining upon the Great Thousand World!
After all, very few people could pass the Azure Heaven Demon Trial. Ordinary people would not choose the Azure Heaven Demon King for their examination. Those who passed the Azure Heaven Demon King's assessment might lack martial prowess, but their disposition was definitely qualified.
Ji Xiang felt the pressure from the gods.
Countless responses impacted his consciousness like a tide.
Just as the divine tablets were flashing at each other and responding to the call, two divine lights overshadowed the others, responding to Ji Xiang's summons from a distant land.
As the divine lights converged, two powerful divine tablets vibrated intensely and approached, their sky-shattering power sweeping away all other minor divine tablets!
The feeling of being ushered in gradually intensified, and in Ji Xiang's eyes, he saw those two divine tablets flying towards him!
[Great Sage of Heavenly Gang: Heavenly True Sacred! All ghosts and evils perish upon seeing its form! Twelfth rank of the Heavenly Department's minor position!]
[Great General of the Nine Heavens Killing Children: Heavenly True Sacred! In the Three Pure Heavens, the Great God of Heavenly Killing! Twelfth rank of the Heavenly Department's minor position!]
The twelfth rank position was Heavenly True Sacred.
The thirteenth rank position was the Constellation of the Heavens.
The seventeenth rank position was Heavenly General Divine True.
This was the first time Ji Xiang had seen a twelfth-rank position. These two divine tablets brought immense pressure to his spirit, a vast difference from the thirteenth-rank position he had seen before!
Ji Xiang felt the pressure, completely different from when he had observed the Great Demon of the Azure Heaven.
At that time, the Great Demon of the Azure Heaven was the examiner, not being ushered into a human body, so the ninth rank of the Heavenly Department did not exude too much majesty. However, these two positions that responded to Ji Xiang's summons naturally emitted great divine light and unleashed their full divine power!
These two divine positions were already the limit that his physical body could accommodate. Moreover, the power emanating from these two divine tablets was extremely vigorous and vast. Ji Xiang even felt that if his physical body were to accept either of these two divine tablets, he might first bleed from all seven orifices.
"This is the limit..."
Ji Xiang's consciousness continued to delve deeper, but the positions behind them no longer responded to him. Ji Xiang even saw an "old acquaintance," the divine tablet of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the esteemed deity who had sent him down to the mortal realm. This deity was now waiting at the end of the Floating Li path, the very place where he had descended.
At that time, it was the Primordial Heavenly Venerable who had actively sought him out, not that he could summon it.
It seemed that the high-ranking great deities had their own dignity and could not be casually commanded.
"In the past, within the Azure Heaven of the Beginning, the Great Floating Li Earth..."
"Enough, the heavens are vast, and my Way prospers daily! Esteemed deities, we shall meet again!"
As for the two great deities, Ji Xiang decided to usher in the Great Sage of Heavenly Gang, simply because the Great Sage of Heavenly Gang, in the Ming Dynasty, held an additional post compared to the Great General of the Nine Heavens Killing Children: the deity in charge of all firearms in the realm.
Ji Xiang had previously pondered carrying a firearm on his person, and without saying a word, just firing a shot...
Just as Ji Xiang was about to touch the divine tablet of the Great Sage of Heavenly Gang to usher in the position, and simultaneously withdraw his consciousness that had delved into Floating Li... within his inner vision, the blank divine tablet suddenly emitted a brilliant light!
A white light emanated from his body, manifesting from his inner vision, from the inside out. This radiance directly penetrated the depths of Floating Li, and among the divine tablets of those great figures, it seized one divine tablet and directly captured it!
Boom!
The divine tablet vibrated, and at this moment, Ji Xiang saw the same scene as when he was in the Great Floating Li Earth!
Countless divine tablets turned simultaneously, emitting a vast sound of vibration. These sounds converged from the formless into a tangible "wave," pushing the ethereal energy of the entire Great Floating Li Earth forward, as if trying to forcibly expel the power of the blank divine tablet!
However, the radiance of the blank divine tablet was extremely overbearing, and all the divine powers that struck it were completely absorbed!
The divine tablets seemed extremely enraged. Light figures shot out from two of the divine tablets, intending to strike the blank divine tablet out of the Great Floating Li Earth. However, the blank divine tablet accepted them all without refusal. The two light figures that rushed forward instantly vanished like mud entering the sea, and these two divine tablets were also taken away together!
Boom!
Three divine tablets of the Heavenly Department's great positions were forcibly seized. As the white light was about to withdraw from the Great Floating Li Earth, an extremely powerful and fierce force attacked, seemingly intending to snatch back those three divine tablets of the Heavenly Department's great positions!
The fierce force was about to shatter the white light, but this force, upon hitting the white light, was immediately dissolved!
The white light departed triumphantly, leaving behind only silence and scattered divine tablets of the gods.
The divine tablets had forcibly prevented anyone from "ushering in at a higher level," but they had not succeeded.
The three divine tablets of the Heavenly Department's great positions were absorbed by the blank divine tablet and returned to Ji Xiang's body!
Instantly, a world-shattering force threatened to shatter his physical body!
Smoke billowed from his seven orifices, and incense and yellow qi emerged from various parts of his body. Fortunately, with his Ascension Realm cultivation, his本体 (original body) was fine. Seeing smoke spewing from his body, Ji Xiang became somewhat flustered. He covered the wounds with his left and right hands. After a period of vibration, the wounds gradually healed, and the incense stopped flowing out.
The divine tablet in his inner vision seemed to have suppressed those three divine tablets of the Heavenly Department's great positions, and finally provided an answer!
[Four Saints of the North Pole (Three of Them): Tian Peng, Tian You, Hei Sha ___! Commander of All Gods! Eighth, Tenth, Tenth rank of the Heavenly Department's great position!]
[Divine light shines brightly, shocking heaven and earth; with continuous purity, what ghost dares to resist?]
