Rise of Humanity

  Shi Buyi has come out?

  Zhong Yue was shocked and his scalp tingled, Why did Shi Buyi come out so quickly? It’s only been half a year’s time, could it be that he has found out that the Yin and Yang pupils I gave him were impossible for him to attain? No, no, if he realized that he couldn’t cultivate them, he would have smashed me into ash already rather than jump through hoops like this ….

  He recollected his thoughts and conducted his voice directly into the ladies’ minds, “Qing He, after I leave, immediately pack up and the saint city, wait for me at the Qing Long Keep beside the Eastern Sea.”

  Qing He who was still reconciling herself with her new ‘harsh reality’ had finally resigned herself to her fate and nodded apathetically.

  Zhong Yue followed the old seneschal to the saint city lord manor, he was puzzled in his heart but he maintained a calm and placid face. Through the long corridor and the courtyards, they soon arrived at the back garden of the manor. Shi Buyi was standing on an arch bridge with his hands clasped behind his back, the wind breeze gently whistled over and swayed his clothes, giving him the air of an elegant gentleman.

  Zhong Yue stepped forward, bowed and said, “Teacher.”

  Shi Buyi turned his head and gazed over with a blurred expression as if he was smiling and yet wasn’t, “Good disciple, my dear disciple….”

  Zhong Yue grew even more reverent, he stood steadfast while Shu Buyi smiled and said, “Get up. This time coming out from the closed door training, I was planning to examine your cultivation progress. But as I’ve heard of everything that you’ve been up to, my heart no longer worries for your cultivation progress and I’m very gratified to have you as my disciple.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart was undulating with unease, he had zero clue as to why the strongest existence of the monster race had summoned him over. Just when he was thinking about it, Shi Buyi said smilingly, “However, at the same time of being happy for your incredible cultivation progress, I’m also very worried that your rapid increase in prowess would leave your cultivation foundation in an unsteady state. Come, show me your【Monster God Ming King Art】and let me see whether or not your cultivation foundation is still strong and firm.”

  With a thought, Zhong Yue cast out the【Monster God Ming King Art】, morphing into an eight-armed being with the moon and sun pupils emerging in his eyes, flaring out the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array.

  Shi Buyi’s sights were dominant like lightning that had descended from heaven. Measuring Zhong Yue for a few moments, he then said, “The divine eyes of your【Monster God Ming King Art】are somewhat lacking. The Ming King’s divine eye is vertically upright on his forehead and yet you’ve separated them into two parts in your eyes. Slowly cast your Ming King divine eyes, I’ll take a look at the details and find out the flaws for you.”

  Zhong Yue answered his instruction and slowly cast the moon and sun pupils, the sun moon pupils formed in his eyes in a slow motion.

  Rays flashed in Shi Buyi’s eyes, he did not blink even for a single second, and ordered Zhong Yue to repeat the process once again.

  A few times Zhong Yue had cast the sun and moon pupils, Shi Buyi pondered earnestly and said, “Good disciple, show me the prowess of your divine eyes.”

  Zhong Yue followed, he blasted out the Pure Yin and Pure Yang Sword Qi, the two Sword Qi were incredibly strong, interwinding one another like two soaring dragons.

  Shi Buyi’s eyebrows undulated as he stared closely at the Yin Yang Sword Qi; suddenly, Xin Huo nervously prompted Zhong Yue in his psyche ocean, “Brat Yue, he has raised his killing intent towards you!”

  Zhong Yue’s heart palpitated heavily, cold sweat nearly rushed out from the pores, Xin Huo then heaved a breath of relief and said, “He repressed it….”

  The aftershock was still shuddering Zhong Yue’s heart in fear; unknowingly, Shi Buyi’s killing intent had spiked before he forcibly repressed it the next second.

  Shi Buyi smiled and said, “My dear disciple, your heartbeat is rising.”

  Zhong Yue bowed and answered, “The divine eyes are exhausting my energy, it is still too difficult for me to maintain.”

  “I see.”

  Shi Buyi said placidly, “Your divine eyes are separated into two, even your teacher I can’t see any flaws in them as of now. Come back when you are stronger, until then, we shall see if any hidden flaws would emerge. You are dismissed.”

  Zhong Yue bowed and left, he dare not even let his guard down after he left the lord manor, I must leave, now!

  Shi Buyi watched as Zhong Yue walked out of the manor, mumbling to himself, “There’s no mistake, this is exactly how I cast it, it can’t be wrong. But how is it that he was able to successfully do so whereas every time I attempt it, my divine eyes would shatter away. They are completely useless….”

  He lifted his head up and said, “For a moment back then, I was at the brink of taking his eyes over in place of my own, thankfully I’m able to repress the urge to do so. He is still too weak now, it is not worth it to take his eyes … yet. I shall wait for the right time, when he has grown stronger, then I will claim them for myself….”

  Chapter 212: The Pink Curtained Hammock |

  Outside of Xian Kong saint city, the Jiao Dragons carried Zhong Yue as they marched towards the east at great speed away from the saint city, he thought, Qing He and the ladies had packed up and moved first, I wonder if the monster cultivators will capture them to threaten me? But Qing He is proficient in escape arts. Without one hundred percent preparation, it’d be incredibly difficult to pin them down. Moreover, I’m the nail in their eyes, the major forces wouldn't stir more troubles messing with Shu Qianqiu’s disciple….

  He sped up and he soon traversed a hundred miles; Zhong Yue kept maintained his vigilance, closely observing the surroundings and scanning his surroundings with his psyche. He visualized the Jiao Dragons treading underground to cover his bases – all to prevent himself from getting ambushed.

  Right now, we are about a hundred miles away from the saint city, it’s about time for you all to come out.

  Zhong Yue marched forward while closely watching his flank. However, he had strode forward for another eight miles without encountering any troubles.

  Are you all waiting for me to go further away from saint city?

  He was puzzled; logically speaking, this distance was already far beyond the reach of the saint city, it would be safe for the monster experts to ambush him already. And yet, the journey he thought that would be perilous was in fact, peaceful and smooth like a walk in the park – it was utterly bewildering.

  Zhong Yue continued going forward, through the rivers and across the mountains, a full eight hundred miles of distance, and there still wasn’t a single ambush, his heart grew even more puzzled.

  For the next two hours, he had traipsed over a distance of a thousand miles, and there was still nothing at all. Zhong Yue’s face turned dark and solemn, he thought, Could all of them be gathering in front, joining forces to give me their final and fullest blow? If it’s really what I think it is, then I’m in great danger!

  With so many experts gathering together, even if Zhong Yue had opened his Yuan Shen third form, holding the Eight Extreme Weapons and the Fang Blade, he would still be unable to escape from death!

  In addition to the soul lamp he had lit up constantly notifying the monsters of his position, it would be impossible for him to run away from them!

  Zhong Yue regained his composure, he continued moving while he prepared himself for the worst case scenario. In the next four hours, he had traversed another three thousand miles of land. Although the journey was long and arduous, he had finely controlled his energy expenditure, ensuring to constantly replenish his arcane energy and psyche reserves so as to maintain his peak condition for the battle to come.

  Soon, Zhong Yue slowed down his advance as he detected a strong and formidable air in front. Clearly, his enemies had no intentions of hiding themselves and had just waited for him to
come to them!

  All these expert cultivators really did gather together! But don’t think that you all can kill me so easily!

  Zhong Yue swayed his body and morphed into the eight-armed Ming King while his 200-foot Star Toad Yuan Shen emerged on his back; its six eyes were half-opened, shining with rays moonlight as he marched forward, I’ll fight with my life for a way out, as long as I’ve entered the territorial land of the Jade Dragon Keep, I’ll be safe!

  The Keep Lord of the Jade Dragon Keep died in the hands of Shi Buyi, while Yu Xuanji was the Jade Dragon Keep Lord’s disciple. He had also attained the【Monster God Ming King Art】and Zhong Yue had saved his life before. Hence, once Zhong Yue was able to enter the territorial land of the Jade Dragon Keep, Yu Xuanji would command the Jade Dragon Keep to protect him!

  Right now, he wasn’t alone in the monster race like when he first ventured out of the safety of the Great Wilderness. He had made friends and established his own forces and affiliates — Gu Xia City, Jade Dragon Keep, Luo Ying City – these were all forces that he could take refuge in!

  In front of him, the air of the expert cultivators was getting stronger and he drew closer to them, Zhong Yue’s face stiffened up as he clenched the Fang Blade in his hands. All of a sudden, a strand of light muslin fluttered in the air and brushed through the tip of his nose. He raised his head to cast his gaze at the light muslin, and he was stunned.

  A ficus tree of a few miles in circumference came into his vision; there were two strands of light muslins drooping down from the tree crown while a human-bodied boar was wreathed in the middle, hanging on the tree.

  One of the fangs of the human-bodied boar Qi Practitioner was broken away, he was the monster boar Xi Qiao! His heavily swollen face suggested that someone had brutally battered him, curbed his limbs with the light muslins, and tucked his own pants into his mouth.

  Xi Qiao’s swollen face reduced his eyes to two thin lines, his little eyes were rolling around. As Zhong Yue approached, he twisted and squirmed his body in an attempt to extricate himself from the hold of the light muslins but to no avail. Huge beads of sweat rained down from the mid-air down to the ground.

  “What is this, is brother in an auction of selling your meat?”

  Zhong Yue laughed in joy, he poked the monster boar with his Fang Blade and made two huge bloody holes on the Xi Qiao’s back, “So, how much is one kilogram of your meat worth?”

  Xi Qiao was enraged, his wrath burned like fire in his eyes, but the light muslins rendered him powerless to retaliate against Zhong Yue.

  Zhong Yue chuckled, and he continued moving forward. Suddenly, another strand of light muslins [a][b]dropped down, revealing a huge eagle whose feathers were all plucked away, hanging in mid-air like a chicken awaiting slaughter — he was the Ying family cultivator that was chasing after Zhong Yue previously!

  The Ying family cultivator had succumbed to unconsciousness due to either his heavy wounds or the embarrassment that befell him from being toyed around with by Zhong Yue, or maybe it was a combination of both.

  Continuing walking forward, he saw another familiar face — Tu Shishan of the Tu family was hanging on the tree with his limbs fully extended out, soul weapons pierced through and stuffed in his mouth.

  Some of the expert cultivators were not dead yet, they were still lucky enough to hold onto their lives. While there was a huge banner across one side of the cliff to the other with the words of “Dragon Slaughtering Convention”, clearly, these cultivators were having a convention to kill ‘Long Yue’ right here!

  Judging from what’s left behind, it seems like these expert cultivators didn’t put up much a fight before they were all severely beaten and hung up on the tree.

  Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and his heart skipped a beat, Chi Liannu! All these light muslins must be Senior Martial Sister Chi Liannu’s soul weapon! Only this female monster could’ve taken down these cultivators so easily like blowing dust off the table! She must be here for me, that’s why she has taken down all these cultivators!

  The young man was shocked, his heart thumped in fear; if Chi Liannu was able to take down these cultivators so easily, then it would be an effortless task for her to do the same for him.!

  Walking further, countless strands of pink muslins could be seen dangling down from the tree crowns, and huge hammock held up by pink clouds was gently swaying in rhythm with the breeze. As the wind blew over the pink muslins, he could vaguely see the figure of a beauty lying on the hammock.

  As expected, she is here to suck my essence, she has even prepared the bed….

  Zhong Yue’s scalps tingled, while melodious peals of laughter rung in his ears as Chi Liannu chortled on the bed, “Little brother Yue, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Look, this big sister has already cleared out all these disturbing fellas for you. If you are grateful for what I’ve done for you then you should come up now and ease my loneliness….”

  “You can’t outrun her at all!”

  In Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, Xin Huo suddenly said ruthlessly, “Brat Yue, I’ll teach you a cultivation technique, with it, not only that she can’t suck away your essences, but instead, her essences will be sucked away by you! Let’s go, we’ll go around with this monster lady!”

  Zhong Yue was shocked, “Xin Huo, how do you even know such cultivation techniques?”

  “Of course I would!”

  The little flame was proud of himself as he said, “Not a single inheritor of Xin Huo didn’t have dozens of wives and concubines, without such cultivation techniques, their essences would long have been sucked dry by their wives! Now, let’s take the risk and assume that her dual cultivation technique is no match for the one I’m going to teach you, we’ll suck away her essences instead!”

  Just when Zhong Yue was hesitating, two strands of pink muslins billowed over and curled towards him. Immediately, he wielded the Fang Blade and slashed down, but even with the immense sharpness of the Fang Blade, the pink muslins were left unscathed.

  One of the pink muslin wreathed tightly around the Fang Blade while Zhong Yue retreated back rapidly, but it was too late as the second strand of pink muslin curled around him and brought him towards the hammock!

  Even when he was still in mid-air, a strand of light muslin had already crept into his arms and started to unclothe him!

  While on the bed, Chi Liannu chortled and took off her clothes, revealing her naked hourglass-shaped body in the air.

  “Time’s running out!”

  Xin Huo said, “I’ll teach you the【Gods Coition Art】now, and you’ll suck this alluring woman into a mummy!”

  Krong——

  A loud boom erupted in his mind as countless images that didn’t belong to him rushed into his head, flooding his thoughts with all sorts of different and inventive postures and methods of sex — it was truly an abstruse dual cultivation art.

  Guess like I’ve no choice then…. Zhong Yue resigned himself to the fact.

  Before he could even comprehend the abstrusity of the art, he was already on the soft and warm bed, while Chi Liannu chuckled merrily and was about to lunge over to him. All of a sudden, a dignified and fury voice blasted in their ears, “PRESUMPTUOUS! How dare you intend to murder your own junior martial brother, when martial siblings are supposed to help one another. Chi Lian, you’ve disappointed me!”

  “Teacher!”

  Chi Liannu was shocked, she rolled on the bed and reached for her clothes that were scattered on the bed to cover the nether regions her alluring body. She knelt down on her knees and said with her voice that was shuddering in terror, “Teacher, I beg you to spare my life!”

  Shi Buyi? Zhong Yue startled, the voice was exactly from Shi Buyi; he was puzzled at the emergence of Shi Buyi’s voices at such a moment of crisis.

  Shi Buyi has been trying to eliminate him through the borrowed hands of the others so that the【Monster God Ming King Art】would not be divulged to the others; what was his reasoning of saving Zhong Yue now?


  Hu——

  A tempest blew on the light muslins and hammock, tearing them into individual threads; Zhong Yue cast his gaze into the sky to see a patch of white cloud that was in the shape of a huge face that was staring frigidly down at Chi Liannu. It was the Shi Buyi’s face, filled with an imposing manner.

  Chi Liannu kneel down on her knees and kowtowed incessantly as she pled loudly, “Forgive me teacher! I dare not do it anymore!”

  “Hmph!”

  The face formed from the clouds was furious, his voice trembled the air and struck on Chi Liannu, causing blood to trickle out of her apertures. He said gravely, “If you dare to act recklessly again, I’ll not give you any second chances! Put on your clothes, and disappear!”

  Chi Liannu was relieved as she quickly donned on her clothes and left.

  The clouds that formed Shi Buyi’s countenance slowly dispersed away, Zhong Yue also heaved a breath of relief and quickly wore on his clothes, he was bewildered, Why did Shi Buyi save me? There must be some sort of conspiracy behind all of this ….

  He recollected his thoughts and searched for his Fang Blade, he glanced around and saw the monster cultivators shuddering in fear, some even having peed their pants.

  It seems like there wouldn’t be any monsters that would come for me anymore, at least, not in the area where Shi Buyi’s prowess can still reach.

  Zhong Yue settled down his heart, the twin dragons emerged beneath his feet and carried him towards the Jade Dragon Keep. He had traveled a thousand miles when suddenly, a chill was sent down his spine as he saw the light muslins coming into his vicinity. A lady donned in exposing clothes was standing on the tree branches, gazing at him with a smile and said, “Junior martial brother, I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

  “Senior Martial Sister Chi Lian….” Zhong Yue’s scalps tingled again.

  The lady chortled with the two alluring breasts of hers bouncing along, “Don’t worry, senior martial sister is not here to suck away your essences. I’m here planning to go to the dragon race with you, you wouldn’t know, I might just find myself a handsome husband who rides on the dragons there!”
