Rise of Humanity

  with this technique!

  The visualization art in the second Swords Gate sculpture was even more abstruse, suited for nourishing the spirits, while the third was good for doing the same for the Yuan Shen. The fourth was meant to open the secret realms, and the fifth was aimed to coalesce the atman and mortal body into one. And finally, the sixth one contained the art to condense and nourish the inner core!

  Even if the cultivator didn't have any remarkable talents, they would still be able to cultivate to the level of Inner Core as long as they closely followed the cultivation technique!

  Even after they had cultivated to the level of Inner Core through the cultivation technique, they still wouldn't be able to fully understand the whole cultivation technique. Jun Sixie deduced that only the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners would be able to understand the cultivation technique in its entirety.

  If this were really the case, then could it still be considered a cultivation technique for Swords Gate to nurture more Qi Practitioners?

  This was no different to willingly giving out a god-level cultivation technique to the Swords Gate!

  “Headmaster and the elders, how are these six visualization arts?”

  Zhong Yue walked over and said, "I'm still an Inner Core Qi Practitioner, I have yet to create the visualization art for Heavenly Dharma Practitioners. However, once I've entered that stage, I will then be able to expand on what I have here."

  The elders moved around the Swords Gate sculptures and heaped endless praises of amazement at him all the while. At the same time, they couldn't help but ponder on if a mere Inner Core Qi Practitioner really could have created such a profound cultivation technique.

  A mere Inner Core Qi Practitioner that had done what no other Qi Practitioners, including all of the headmasters, could do. If it were a god who had done it, they wouldn't be so shocked, but Zhong Yue was just an Inner Core Qi Practitioner.

  Little did they know that Zhong Yue had fused the cultivation techniques of the many races to develop his【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】. In terms of the attainments, he was already a level above ordinary gods!

  Furthermore, this wasn’t the first time he did something like this. In the demon land, he had cleared the bloodline seals for the Chi Clan’s Chi You, allowing the latter to cultivate both celestial and demon cultivation arts.

  "I'm thinking about whether I should also include the method to reverse-open the five secret realms in the Awakening level visualization art."

  Zhong Yue stood before the Swords Gate sculpture that contained the Awakening visualization art and mulled over the thought, "But it is very dangerous, a slight moment of distraction can result in death, the success rate is too low."

  It was because he had gone through the experience himself that he intimately understood the risks that came with reverse-opening the five secret realms. Even with the third divine eye, the probability of success was too low. And without it, it was nearly impossible.

  “No need!”

  Jun Sixie said decisively, "The new cultivation technique is meant to cultivate the Swords Gate disciples, not take their lives. However, junior martial brother, you can still leave the method to do so behind so that the headmasters can offer it to the particularly outstanding disciples!"

  Zhong Yue nodded and smiled, "That would be best, headmaster."

  He had also thought of leaving behind the method of opening the sixth realm, but the danger in that was abominably great, a thousand times harder than reverse-opening the first five secret realms. Without the guidance of someone like Xin Huo or an incredible talent like Feng Xiaozhong, it was absolutely impossible to succeed in opening the sixth realm!

  Thus, he deemed it to be not the right time to leave such a thing behind. To do so would only push the new Qi Practitioners into the abyss of death. However, if in the future, the Ancestral Star's Six Paths World's Six Paths Reincarnation, the risk of opening the sixth realm would be drastically reduced.

  But not even Zhong Yue had the confidence of that ever happening, and even if it were to happen, he wouldn't be able to foresee when.

  Granny Tao mumbled, "The visualization arts contained in these sculptures are a hundred times better than the one I'm cultivating. Is this the new cultivation technique for the little kids? They are so blessed…"

  “Indeed, they are!”

  The other elders concurred, and one of them said, "Even I have the urge to erase my cultivation to start over again! We might just be able to achieve the level of magnates if we have this cultivation technique!"

  Shui Zian then said, "However, with this new cultivation technique, the young ones will have a bigger responsibility to take upon their shoulders from now on. With these sculptures, we of the Swords Gate will not only be able to secure our own territory, but we will also be expanding our influences. The responsibility of opening new lands and expanding our influence will be placed on their shoulders."

  The others all nodded in agreement.

  The Swords Gate was still weak; it was barely strong enough to protect itself and its own meager territory – the Great Wilderness. However, with Zhong Yue's contributions, the number of human Qi Practitioners was destined to rise. A small place like the Great Wilderness would then have too little resources for them to nurture the paragons they would need to ascend to the summit of the world. Thus, it was inevitable for Swords Gate to expand its territory and influence to secure more resources for their posterity!

  All of a sudden, Jun Sixie said to Zhong Yue, “The other three border fortresses are in construction.”

  “Nicely done!”

  Shui Zian, Lei Shan, and the other elders nodded. It was just the right time to build the fortresses. Otherwise, it would be too late once the next generation of Swords Gate had grown strong enough.

  The ten elders were exhilarated. It was as if they would see the bright future unfolding before their eyes.

  "To be able to witness the rise of humanity ... to witness our rise from toiling in the mud to soaring through the skies ... I have no regrets in this life anymore!" Lei Shan sonorously laughed as he said.

  Qiu Jin'er was also excited at seeing Zhong Yue's hard work being acknowledged by the elders.

  Zhong Yue was also deeply gratified. During these two months, he had been carefully contemplating what cultivation technique he should create for Swords Gate. He had been parsing through every cultivation techniques he knew and pondering on his insights into them. And all of this also allowed him to gain even more enlightenment on the many arts and skills he had.

  Most importantly, his attainments into the Million God Arts were deeper than before, and he slowly fused the core of the Million God Arts into his【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】.

  When he cast out the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】, the Yin and Yang element in it would then beget another three elements ... the three powers — Heaven, Earth, and Man. And from these three elements came into being the many gods of the universe!

  This truth was touched upon in his cultivation technique — two begot three, and three gave rise to the myriad!

  "Elders, the first Swords Gate sculpture will have to be replicated for the many human tribes, every tribe will have to have one copy of the first Swords Gate sculpture. Regardless of age, gender, or social status, everyone will have a chance to cultivate it." Jun Sixie gave her order as the headmaster.

  The elders then nodded and immediately began to work. They cut down a massive chunk of the jade stones and sculpted them according to the first Swords Gate sculpture. Zhong Yue then turned to Jun Sixie and said, "Headmaster, I have one thing to…"

  Jun Sixie listened carefully and just as Zhong Yue was going to tell her of the moon core and innate god he had stolen from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race; the whole of Swords Gate Mountain started to quake. Sonorous chants of worship then reverberated throughout all of whole Swords Gate.

  Zhong Yue and Jun Sixie were both shocked. The chants came from the void through the dimensions, and it sounded
as if millions of people chanted together as one voice. Blessings and praises formed a harmonious symphony that came together like a great hymn.

  Then, a scarlet ray of light flashed out from the void and entered a palace in Swords Gate. It was dazzling and exuded an ethereal and divine sensation. They saw a true dragon soaring inside of the light rays.

  Zhong Yue, Jun Sixie, and Qiu Jin'er were shocked as they stared in disbelief at the red ray and Qiu Jin'er mumbled, "This … it looked similar to when I was born."

  She was the Innate Wood Spirit Body, her birth was accompanied by a worldly phenomenon, but there weren't the chants of worship.

  Jun Sixie also nodded, "I'm quite the same, but there were no chants. Is Fu Bao giving birth?"

  The trio then quickly rushed over. Abruptly, they felt a change in the ambiance, and they raised their heads and looked into the sky. A star then suddenly flared up, shining with a flaxen radiance. It was huge like the sun and sat high in the sky right above Swords Gate.

  “The Earth Celestial Star!”

  Jun Sixie exclaimed in shock, "This is said to be exactly what happened when Feng Wuji was born. It signals the birth of the Earth Innate Spirit Body!"

  The Earth Celestial Star then shone so brightly that it felt like a second sun in the sky.

  The Earth Celestial Star then suddenly dimmed down, and a huge beam of light then poured down right into the palace where the red ray previously entered!

  Qiu Jin'er then mumbled, "The gift of the Human Sovereign, the soaring dragon with bright red rays, and now the Earth Celestial Star. Just how talented will Senior Martial Sister Fu Bao's child be?"

  All of a sudden, a baby’s cry came from the palace. Zhong Yue listened to it carefully and then softly said, "Gongsun Xuanyuan has arrived in this world."

  Suddenly, Xin Huo said to him from the psyche ocean, "Brat Yue, this Xuanyuan has quite a thick Fuxi bloodline in him! It's not any weaker than Feng Xiaozhong's!"

  Zhong Yue was shocked, and immediately, he realized the reasons — the dragon shrouded in scarlet red would be the draconic Qi gifted to the little one by the Human Sovereign. It was meant to refine and purify the Fuxi blood in Xuanyuan's body, partially activating the bloodline of the Fuxi Celestial Race!

  三才 Three Talents:

  Heaven — timing, fate, and destiny etc;

  Earth — environment, situations etc;

  Man — personal spirituality, passion etc;

  It is said that having two of the three can lead you to success.

  The shocked Jun Sixie then said, "Come to think of it, the baby has been in Fubao's stomach for a whole two years!"

  A Fuxi bloodline that was not any weaker than Feng Xiaozhong's and with the Innate Earth Spirit Body ... this was the first time Zhong Yue ever saw someone gaining such a huge advantage as soon as they were born.

  His very own Fuxi bloodline might be very high, but it was acquired with painstaking blood and sweat, not gifted to him when he was born.

  And with the many gifts that the newborn Gongsun Xuanyuan was given, his achievements were destined to be as great as Zhong Yue's, perhaps even greater!

  The trio then reached the outside of the palace and waited patiently while Zhong Yue asked, "Xin Huo, little Xuanyuan is still so small, and his bloodline is so pure, don't you want to pick him as your inheritor?"

  [Please support us in GT, the other websites have violated our copyrights! It's free anyway, so why don't let me earn the ad revs XD]

  Xin Huo shook his head and replied, "Your bloodline is purer than his at the moment. If I pick him, won't that mean that I will have to pour in more effort to cultivate him? I want a pure-blood one, so when you are strong enough, we can go to the Zi Wei Imperial Star and look for one. Or … you can give birth to a pure blooded one as well. Either method is fine by me."

  Shaking his head, Zhong Yue said, "That is not going to be easy. Besides, how can you be sure that my child will be a pure-blood Fuxi?"

  "This is why you have to keep on mating and giving birth to many children!" answered the little flame dude confidently.

  He then said again, "Your Fuxi bloodline is the strongest in the Ancestral Star now. With that, your children will also be those that possess a purer bloodline. A couple of them may become a pure-blood with some fortuitous mutations! Right now, you can live on for over a thousand years. If you mate every day and impregnate a lady a day, you will have 365,000 children by the time you die. And among them, there is bound to be at least one or two pure-blooded Fuxi descendants in that bunch."

  Zhong Yue immediately shouted in exasperation, "Are you being serious right now!?"

  "Fine ... then how about two days of rest every month?" replied Xin Huo softly.

  A moment later, Shao Dian's voice sounded out, "Everyone, this way please."

  Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er, and Jun Sixie entered the palace while Shao Dian carried the baby in his arms as everyone gathered around him took a look at the baby.

  The baby appeared to have slightly yellowish skin, and faint earth Qi could be seen weakly enveloping him. His face also slightly resembled that of a dragon.

  And when Zhong Yue looked at him, he realized that there was even draconic purple thunder Qi surging through the baby's body. He praised, "The blessing of the human emperor is indeed amazing, being able to purify little Xuanyuan's bloodline with this draconic Qi."

  With a shake of his head, Xin Huo replied, "But the effect is not very good, this is the most this draconic Qi can do. Besides, the purification given by this draconic Qi was more focused on the innate celestial dragon's bloodline, which is the Leize bloodline. Obviously, the human emperor had no means to fully unseal the Fuxi bloodline, so he can only do this."

  Upon careful examination, Zhong Yue, too, realized that the Ancestral Dragon bloodline was mixed with the Fuxi bloodline in little Xuanyuan.

  I wonder which part of the Fuxi true from little Xuanyuan has awakened…

  He then opened up his divine third eye and looked at Xuanyuan only to realize his spine looked like a real dragon bone. It was very different to a normal human's spine, and he thought, So little Xuanyuan has awakened the celestial bone and part of the dragon scale.

  Zhong Yue then realized that a few golden and shiny dragon scales grew at the baby's waist.

  The celestial heart, eye, bone, snake tail, and dragon scales were all equivalent. All of them were important as all of them had important functions. Thus far, Zhong Yue had awakened the divine eye, heart, and a tiny portion of the celestial bone, but he was considered as one who had awakened most of the aforementioned body parts.

  However, his progress stopped there, and he wouldn't be able to improve anymore unless he obtained the Ancestral Dragon's or the Huaxu Clan's blood or opened up even more seals in the bloodline seal.

  "Little Xuanyuan is such a talented boy, who should be the one that teaches him?" Qiu Jin'er said suddenly.

  Everyone immediately looked at Zhong Yue, and he quickly replied, "I can assist him in his cultivation, but I cannot be his teacher. Sooner or later, I will leave the Ancestral Star, so it is impossible for me to keep on teaching him."

  Jun Sixie nodded and said, "Little Xuanyuan is a newborn right now, there's no need to find him a teacher as of yet. We should wait until he is old enough for cultivation! I think that this little one will shine brightly in the future, and perhaps, the position of Swords Gate's headmaster will be in his hands one day."

  Jun Sixie then looked at Zhong Yue and asked, "Junior martial brother, what did you want to tell me just now?"

  “Let’s go outside and talk about it, headmaster.”

  Jun Sixie then excused herself from the husband and wife and followed Zhong Yue to the Golden Summit. Zhong Yue requested, "Senior martial sister, please open the underground palace."

  In front of the outsiders, he would address Jun Sixie as the headmaster of Swords Gate, but when it was only the two of them, h
e would address her as if she were just his senior martial sister. The confused Jun Sixie then asked with a smile, "What is it that you have to be so secretive about to even ask me to open the underground palace?"

  She then opened up the underground palace, and they both went down it. It did not take long before they arrived at the godly spirit's secret realm at the center of the mountain, secret realm specially created to suppress the celestial woman in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land.

  Back then, when Zhong Yue entered the Swords Gate Mountain through the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, he entered this godly spirit's secret realm through a portal and gave Jun Sixie and the others a fright when he walked out from it.

  Zhong Yue then opened the secret realm, and this place quickly became one of the Swords Gate's most important. Other than that, the Swords Gate even obtained two divine weapons from this place and a celestial woman's body.

  After a certain period of time, this secret realm would be reopened, and the disciples of Swords Gate would temper themselves here.

  As they both entered the secret realm, Zhong Yue did not stop at all and headed straight towards the portal. Clearly, Zhong Yue was apprehensive of this secret realm's safety which intrigued Jun Sixie more.

  She then followed him into the portal, and they arrived at the saint spirit altar.

  When they stood on the altar and looked down, the entire Demonic Soul Secret Realm looked like a cage that trapped countless demonic souls in it. When put together, the entire secret realm looked just like a huge ball.

  From here, they could even see the huge heart.

  And on top of this huge ball was another smaller ball; it was originally used to siphon the demonic god's spirit, but it is now empty.

  The altar too, was empty as the saint spirit had been taken away by someone else, while the saint herb lotus also fell into Zhong Yue's hands.

  Zhong Yue then stood on the altar, took out the copper land, opened up the lit and said, “Take a look at this, senior martial sister.”

  Using his Golden Peng Sword, he took the moon core out of the copper lamp. When Jun Sixie saw it, she discovered that this moon core was like a shiny pearl, and as the shining pearl was taken out of the copper lamp, it became larger and larger.
