Rise of Humanity

  However, when faced with the Kun Lun gods, even the Kua Fu clan master was having a headache. There were many gods that came after Kua Fuding and Peng Qianqiu, including two strong gods who were as strong as himself.

  Although these two gods masked their faces, their identities were still clear to Kua Fu clan master.

  In the end, when left with no choice, Kua Fu clan master ordered Kua Fuding to expose his Yuan Shen secret realms, take out the Peaches of Immortality, and eat it in front of everyone present.

  With his Yuan Shen secret realms exposed bare, the gods could clearly tell he didn’t have any Peaches of Immortality left. In addition to Kua Fu clan master’s deterrence as a lord-leveled god, they all left.

  “Clan master, why me?” Kua Fuding’s heart was still thumping in fear, he was still terrified by the experience even after the gods left. He asked, “Please tell me you are not going to refine me into a medicinal pellet and eat me…?”

  The Kua Fu clan master was immediately angered, he whacked the little Kua Fu expert and said, “If I had eaten it, I’d have a few hundred more years than these brats. Surely they won’t be happy about it and would drag me down together to death when they die! You, little shit, are a real lucky one!”

  Kua Fuding laughed like an idiot as he said, “True, I’m real lucky. But I’ve only one Peach of Immortality, those who had the most are still that Zhong Yue and Chi Xue. They killed and robbed a lot of experts, they must have a lot of the divine herbs as well!”

  “Zhong Yue and Chi Xue?” Kua Fuding thought, he then said, “Forget about that Zhong Shan Clan boy, he won’t be able to survive against Western Mother Empress. Seems like all of the Peaches of Immortality has fallen into her hands… what an arse, that old hag even wanted to steal my Peaches of Immortality, so immoral! I’ll tell the world that she got all of the divine herbs as well! Oh yes, the other one, that Peng Qianqiu who survived as well, did he…”

  …

  On the other hand, Ma Wang God personally arrived at the moon to bring Peng Qianqiu back, but when the Kun Lun gods all came swarming in. Ma Wang God immediately handed out Peng Qianqiu, with the later’s Yuan Shen secret realms plundered empty of treasures. After all, Kua Fu clan master was a Deity Overlord while Ma Wang God was just an ordinary god.

  Peng Qianqiu had a few Peaches of Immortality, most were unripe with one exception. Immediately, a war broke out in Kun Lun Realm for the ripe divine herb!

  Ma Wang King was downcasted and brought Peng Qianqiu away.

  Peng Qianqiu was downspirited as well, he said, “Ma Wang God, I’m sorry I can’t…”

  “No, it’s fine. It’s not your fault, I’m too weak to protect the Peaches of Immortality.” Ma Wang King sighed and said, “Who knew that there would only be these few Qi Practitioners that survived? If it’s like the last few times where hundreds of the Qi Practitioners could return with the Peaches of Immortality, these gods wouldn’t have been so shameless so as to… Fine, fine, it’s all fated. I probably just don’t have the luck to keep it….”

  Rays flashed across Peng Qianqiu’s eyes, and he asked, “Did the Zhong Shan Clan member make it back? As far as I know, he has many peaches! He and Chi Xue, the two of them, killed many demons and celestials…”

  “The Zhong Shan Clan member and… the Western Mother Chi Xue?”

  Ma Wang God was startled, he then sneered and said, “Then he will be dead anyway. The Western Mother Celestial Race is a cheeky race, they will plunder anything they need shamelessly! I’ve heard that Chi Xue is back but no news on that Zhong Shan Clan member. Most probably he is dead in her hands, with his treasures plundered by her as well.”

  Peng Qianqiu then said puzzlingly, “Is this true? Ma Wang God … this Zhong Shan Clan member is a sly and cunning one, it’s not that easy to kill him, he is really strong…”

  Ma Wang God then sneered again as he said, “Strong? Do you think he can be stronger than Western Mother Empress, than the Western Mother Celestial Race? Chi Xue is the strongest young cultivator of the Western Mother Celestial Race, she has already been appointed as the next Western Mother Empress. If the Zhong Shan Clan member has fallen into Chi Xue’s hands, she will devour him clean of values. Else, why do you think Western Mother Empress will appoint her as the next empress?”

  Peng Qianqiu was stunned, he mumbled, “He is dead? He is really dead? Doesn’t that mean my race’s saint weapon, the Divine Wing Saber is now in the possession of the Western Mother Celestial Race? This…”

  “Little friend, do you want to stay and help me in Kun Lun?” Ma Wang God asked, “Don’t worry, the Kun Peng Celestial Race is a strong race as well, I won’t treat you badly.”

  Peng Qianqiu quickly answered, “Thank you for your generous offer, but I am alone here in Kun Lun. I still miss my people in the Ancestral Star.”

  Ma Wang God wasn’t demanding and instead, he said, “Then you should rest a few days. I will help you in treating your injuries and after that, I will ask for a golden tablet to send you back home.”

  Peng Qianqiu was overjoyed and quickly nodded, he thanked Ma Wang God for the help.

  Ma Wang God then shook his head saying, “No need to thank me. You’ve worked for me and found me a Peach of Immortality. For that, you even lost a brother. This is what I should do.”

  A few days later, Ma Wang God asked for a golden tablet from the Western Mother Empire and he cast out the teleportation door. Peng Qianqiu thanked him again and said, “When I return to Ancestral Star, I will tell my people of your generosity. If fate allows it one day in the future, I will bring my people to follow your footsteps.”

  Ma Wang God waved his hand, Peng Qianqiu entered the door and disappeared on the other end.

  Ma Wang God kept the golden tablet and said, “This tablet is really good stuff, but what a pity I have to return it once its used. Only the Western Mother Celestial Race knows how to craft them…”

  Peng Qianqiu stepped foot in the Ancestral Star once again. He looked around and saw a piece of land filled with mountains, covered in snows. But the scenery was much grander in Kun Lun when compared to the Ancestral Star.

  “This little place, how was it worthy to be called as the Ancestral Star?” Peng Qianqiu shook his head, he mumbled, “Although Jinyi is killed, this was still a worthwhile trip. I’ve connected to Ma Wang God and with his help, the Kun Peng Celestial Race will be able to conquer the races and unite the Ancestral Star! This day won’t be long, it will come very soon!”

  He crouched his legs and spread his wings out, butright at the moment he flew above the ground, his body stiffened. In the corner of his eyes, there was a young cultivator on top of a snowy mountain, sitting in the lotus position and surrounded with many marvelous totem patterns!

  “Zhong Yue!” Peng Qianqiu’s heart thumped in fear, he could feel his heart shuddering colder than the winter as he exclaimed, “Why are you not dead yet?”

  “Peng Qianqiu, if you’re still alive, how can I be dead?”

  On the snowy mountain, Zhong Yue stood up and looked at Peng Qianqiu, his voice was colder than the snowing weather as he said, “I’ve waited for a very long time, waiting for the day I send you to reunite with your dead brother!”

  Peng Qianqiu’s pupils shrunk smaller, his heart thumped vigorously and when he looked back, the teleportation door already disappeared.

  “Run,” Zhong Yue stood steadfast and said, “You have a chance to run. If you can escape from me, then I will spare your puny life.”

  Peng Qianqiu was breathing heavily. He had no confidence against Zhong Yue anymore and simply wanted to stay as far as he could from this human cultivator.

  ESCAPE! It was the only thought in both his heart and mind.

  In the next second, he released a loud shout, and layer after layer of golden feathers surged out from his body. The air around was pushed out, and a vacuum space was formed around him. Then, with a flap of wings, he turned into a thousand miles Golden Peng, bolting out away at great speed!


  His heart was completely swallowed by fear, every morsel of strength and energy he had was used to escape. A True Spirit magnate terrified by a Heavenly Dharma junior was definitely a disgrace to the magnate community!

  But he couldn’t help himself, he couldn’t even brace himself in the face of Zhong Yue, all he wanted was to run as far away as possible from this merciless slaughterer, to go to place far enough where death couldn’t knock on his door anymore!

  Krong——

  Fire started to burn around his body, then came the sparks of electricity. He was so fast that even the lightnings striking down from the sky could only flash past his sides! But with the immense speed he was flying at now, his body was also tearing up!

  He could feel his muscles slowly detaching from his body, his bones shuddering violently, and his internal organs starting to break. But his speed was at its peak, faster than before, at a speed that not even Peng Qianqiu himself thought he could have achieved!

  But Zhong Yue was fast!

  The young human cultivator flashed to his side and launched an attack!

  【Worshipping of Gods】!

  The totem patterns flitted around him and turned into a huge【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】diagram. As he bowed forward, the huge Tai Chi Art came whirling from the back and sliced through Peng Qianqiu’s body like a flash of lightning.

  Blood sprinkled down the sky, and Peng Qianqiu fell down in two halves. The inertia still pushed his corpse further and the two parts crashed into two snowy mountains!

  “If you didn’t run, I might’ve needed ten strikes to kill you.” Amidst the blood rain, Zhong Yue walked away and his voice resounded above the mountains, “But you chose to run. So I only needed one strike to kill you.”

  …

  The dead Peng Qianqiu crashed into the snowy mountains and caused an avalanche down the mountains. In the end, the two halves of his corpse settled in the middle of the two snowy mountains. There, two huge birds were perched atop a withered ancient tree.

  “See, I’m never wrong!”

  One of the Shen Jiu raised its neck out and looked at Peng Qianqiu’s corpse, he smiled jubilantly and said, “Why the need to go look around for bodies? Just wait here and the delicacies would fall from the sky by themselves!”

  “Jiu Randeng, I now realize that you are a real talent in our Ling Jiu Palace!” The other Shen Jiu praised, “Your words make so much sense!”

  Kun Lun Realm.

  The fight for the Peaches of Immortality was finally settling down. Kua Fuding ate the ones he had. On the other hand, Peng Qianqiu’s Peaches of Immortality gave rise to a series of bloody battles, resulting in a few gods being killed and the whereabouts of the Peaches of Immortality being unknown.

  While the dusts have now settled, Tian Wu God was seen sitting in his godly palace. He looked at the Peaches of Immortality piling up in front of him. These were plundered by the Tian Wu young cultivator. And among the Peaches of Immortality, there were three ripe ones, each being able to increase one’s longevity by 300 years.

  Other than that, there were also a few unripe peaches that were able to provide a few dozen years of longevity, and two ordinary Peaches of Immortality that could increase a hundred years of lifespan each.

  With the pile of Peaches of Immortality in front of him, he was able to increase his lifespan by 1,500 years!

  When the Kun Lun gods were fighting their lives for a few unripe peaches and an ordinary one, Tian Wu God had a pile of them in front of him in his godly palace!

  During the battle of gods in the space, he already reached out to the Tian Wu young cultivator and kept the eight Golden Hous safely in his Yuan Shen secret realms. Even after returning to Kun Lun, Tian Wu God still forbade the eight Golden Hous from showing themselves in case the other gods would come for his Peaches of Immortality.

  Thus, he was able to enjoy the many Peaches of Immortality in his godly palace while the other gods were fighting for them out there.

  “We only have a few unripe ones at first, the others are given to us by Senior Martial Brother Zhong.” Tian Yi said.

  Tian Wu God nodded his head lightly, he said, “I won’t forget about him nor will I forget about you eight!”

  The celestial god thought to himself, It’s really unexpected, a simple bump into Zhong Yue would bring so many benefits!

  “From today onward, you eight are not my mounts anymore, you are all now my disciples. But it’s better for you all to maintain a low-profile from now on,otherwise, they will all come after us. Wait until after I have consumed the divine herbs, then you all may show yourselves again.”

  The eight Golden Hous nodded, they asked, “I wonder how Senior Martial Brother Zhong is doing now…”

  Tian Wu God frowned at the question as well, he said, “If he is still alive, he will be back in Ancestral Star by now. Calm down, after some time when the situation has stablized, I will request for the golden tablet and send you eight to the Ancestral Star.”

  Immediately, the Golden Hous rolled and ran around the palace while shouting in excitement, “Ancestral Star! It must be fun there!”

  Tian Wu God shook his head, he could feel his head aching in pain again as he thought, I sincerely hope they won’t stir too much trouble in the Ancestral Star…

  ……

  Ancestral Star, West Barren, snowy mountains.

  The two Shen Jiu experts kept Peng Qianqiu’s corpse and brought it back to the palace happily.

  “We can enjoy for a longer time now!”

  “That fella is strong, we just have to follow his trail, and we will be able to collect many bodies! That’s when the real windfall comes in!”

  “Senior Martial Brother Jiu Rangdeng is the best!”

  …

  ……

  Soon, Zhong Yue reached to the center of West Barren. He looked at the many mountain ridges like unmoving ocean waves. In between the mountains, the emperor’s tomb underneath the ground had been burrowed through. A dark and endless hole extended all the way from the surface down to the deep tomb.

  Outside of the emperor tomb, there were many celestial experts staying on guard at any movements of the emperor tomb.

  Krong——

  Suddenly, a loud noise came from the tomb. Then, godly rays burst 100,000 feet up into the sky, weaving into a sky of totem patterns.

  Deity Overlord’s totem patterns! Zhong Yue was surprised, he quickly took the Zhu Jian form while moving forward into the crowd.

  Zhong Yue talked to the many celestial experts, slowly extracting the information he needed and he thought, Lord Xia, Lord Kun, Lord Dragon, Lord Demon and Xiao Mang grand ancestor have all entered the emperor tomb?

  Zhong Yue was shocked when he head of the news. These existences were the lord-leveled gods, and they even had their own saint weapons. They entered the emperor tomb the same day that Zhong Yue left for the Kun Lun Realm, but they were still there even after Zhong Yue had returned!

  This was surely shocking news for the Ancestral Star, and all sorts of rumors have started to rise. Some claimed that the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor was reviving and the Deity Overlords were there to protect him, while others said they were there to kill him instead.

  There was also a rumor that said the Deity Overlords were already killed by Bi Xie Celestial Emperor and he was now siphoning their prowess like they were the divine herbs. There was even a rumor which stated the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor was in fact dead, and that the Deity Overlords had entered the tomb for the treasures in it.

  However, all of this was just blind guesses. There wasn’t any evidence that supported them at all. Thus, whatever was happening inside of the tomb now was still unknown to the experts outside.

  Some of the experts tried to enter the tomb but were burned into ashes as soon as they reached the front of the entrance. There was also a few gods that entered the tomb as well, but none of them came back.

  Other than that, there was sudd
enly an earthquake happening at the far north. In the Ancient Frozen Capital, the ice walls started to crumbled, and half of the capital was crushed as the Devil Soul Forbidden Land beneath it suddenly erupted. The devil souls flew out into the city, causing the deaths of many Bai Zhe clansmen.

  Immediately, the Bai Zhe god stepped in and stopped the incident from worsening, while the Bai Zhe was busy taking care of the devil souls, a ray of bright light shot out from the underground. It flitted past the Bai Zhe god’s side and disappeared away in the sky.

  In sync with the earthquake on the north, the South Barren’s Heavenly Saint Palace, East Barren’s Xian Kong Saint City, and West Barren’s Xiao Mang Celestial Race all seemed to experience the same earthquake and that flash of light.

  The Devil Soul Forbidden Lands all erupted, and the devil souls were released into the wild. Although they were all handled quickly thereafter, these incidents still inflicted great damage to the saint places and caused the deaths of many disciples.

  The three bright rays from the other three Devil Soul Forbidden Lands had gathered together with the same bright ray from the North Barren in the sky. The four bright rays then fell from the sky and entered the emperor tomb!

  Immediately, the crowds were shocked. the silence was disturbed and they were agitated like boiling water.

  Four rays from the forbidden lands? And they entered the emperor’s tomb? Zhong Yue was startled, he immediately realized what they were, The other four saint spirits!

  Zhong Yue’s face turned solemn; these four saint spirits had matured, and in addition to the saint spirit Bi Xie brought away from Swords Gate’s Devil Soul Forbidden Land, they totaled up to five saint spirits!

  While in his own tomb, the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor nurtured the sixth and final saint spirit! With these six saint spirit merging together, is the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor coming back to life?, Zhong Yue thought, he was a little terrified. Xin Huo once said that the Bi Xie Celestial Race had nurtured the six saint spirits and planned to fuse them together into the strongest spirit!
