Rise of Humanity

  Xin Huo quickly entered his Yuan Shen secret realms, and there in the Dao Yi Secret Realm, the same light ball that was chasing after them was hovering peacefully beside Zhong Yue’s Pan Gu Celestial Being.

  “The light ball, something is in it…” Xin Huo stared at it and mumbled puzzlingly, “A sword hilt?”

  Inside the light ball, laid a divine sword’s sword hilt, it’s body was missing and the blinding light that terrified thousands of gods was in fact, shining out from the sword hilt.

  “Sword hilt?” Zhong Yue was puzzled. He looked at the sword hilt and he exclaimed in shock, “This sword hilt, could it be…”

  “It is.” Xin Huo nodded, hovering around the light ball as he carefully examined it, he continued, “The old Heavenly Monarch’s divine sword didn’t fully disintegrate. Its sword hilt was left behind, and it must have sensed the Fuxi blood in you, that’s why it chased over and terrified the gods. Seems like only Si Ming and you are the remaining members of the Fuxi Clan.”

  He said despondently, “Else, it wouldn’t be that you are the only Fuxi that has traveled on this Imperial Road of the Heavenly Monarch for the past 100 thousand years…”

  The imperial sword’s hilt was here all along, waiting for a Fuxi to pass by and collect it. But a hundred thousand years had passed since, and Zhong Yue was the only one that has been here. Only then, it sensed Zhong Yue’s Fuxi blood and rushed over.

  Although left with just a hilt, the imperial sword was still incredibly powerful. For when it flew out of the Imperial Road of the Heavenly Monarch, it triggered the mark of the battle in it and that’s why Zhong Yue and the others were able to see the battle.

  “It has chosen you, perhaps it’s because you are the only Fuxi that has ever passed by this place,” Xin Huo concluded.

  The only Fuxi….

  Zhong Yue’s heart grew heavy. He was the only Fuxi that had been here for the past 100 thousand years, and what was even more depressing was the fact that he was not even a pureblooded Fuxi, but one who has only awakened 35% of the Fuxi blood.

  “Although this imperial sword only had its hilt left, it still shouldn’t be underestimated. After all, this is the imperial sword of the Heavenly Monarch who had created the Six Paths Reincarnation. It represented the highest ruling power of the Fuxi Celestial Race.”

  Xin Huo said, “The last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch’s sword hilt is in your hands, I wonder if it’s a good thing for you.”

  It was the imperial sword hilt to the last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch. For it to be in Zhong Yue’s hands, Xin Huo saw it as an event filled with deep meanings. However at the same time, it would be an overbearing responsibility to the current Zhong Yue, placing him at an even greater risk.

  As Xin Huo didn’t actually take Zhong Yue as the Xin Huo inheritor due to him not being pure-blooded; Xin Huo saw Zhong Yue as a friend, one that he couldn’t stand to see bear the overwhelming responsibility of reviving an entire race.

  “Maybe… we should throw the sword hilt away,” Xin Huo abruptly voiced.

  Zhong Yue shook his head in disagreement. It mustn’t be lost anymore, this was the only legacy the last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch has left behind, how could he ever throw it away?

  It was gifted to him by the late Heavenly Monarch from a hundred thousand years ago. Since it has chosen him, he would keep it safe and secure!

  Somehow, Zhong Yue felt like bursting into tears. The late headmaster Feng Shang chose Jun Sixie as the next Swords Gate headmaster, not him; the Human Sovereign far in the Zi Wei Galaxy chose Gongsun Xuanyuan as the next Human Sovereign, not him.

  Then, Xin Huo again also chose to stubbornly wait for a pureblood Fuxi as the next Xin Huo inheritor. Everywhere Zhong Yue went, he was faced with rejections.

  Yet now, a sword whose body was left with only a hilt had finally chosen him!

  A sense of vindication filled his heart, it was the greatest feeling of being accepted as part of the family, as one of the Fuxi. All of the years he had lived, of all the things he has been through, he had never this satisfied before.

  “Fuxi… I, am a Fuxi!” He raised his head high with pride radiating across his face.

  Chapter 725: Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion |

  This was an acknowledgment on his identity. Zhong Yue once heard the proud legacy of the Fuxi Celestial Race from Xin Huo and he was honored to become one of them.

  But no one actually did acknowledge him; the humans in the Ancestral Star knew nothing about the Fuxi Celestial Race and the Human Sovereign in the Zi Wei Imperial Star was already too old; he was ambitious and he did all he could for his people but he was being spied on. He wanted to cultivate a king for all of humanity, not for the Fuxi.

  As for Zhong Yue, he had never even once entered the Human Sovereign’s eyes.

  And along with Si Ming as well as Xin Huo Zhong Yue as just a half-blooded Fux in their eyesi.

  In this world, not being acknowledged and recognized by those from their own race was something particularly disheartening.

  But now, there was a harbor for his meandering soul.

  “The Bo Luo Six Paths World is near!”

  Heavenly King Shang regained his cool but he was still shaken by what happened and he continued to tremble, “Move forward! We mustn’t stay any longer!”

  The gods and demons on the other fleets cooled themselves down as well and they hurriedly sailed away towards Bo Luo Six Path World without hesitation. Heavenly King Shang took another look at the imperial battlefield only to have shiver travel down his spine again, “What a place…. I will never take this way back anymore! I’d rather take a longer path than lose my life!”

  His eight generals nodded while Tian Ting said, “My king, there is nothing to be worried about when we get into Bo Luo Six Path World. Besides, should we notify the Realm Monarchs about what happened? With the many Realm Monarchs gathered here and with their vast knowledge, they perhaps, will have a clue about what happened.”

  “Are you trying to kill yourself?” replied Heavenly King Shang as he glanced at Tian Ting.

  Tian Ting was stunned for a second and the confused Tian Ting asked, “How so?”

  With a cold grin, Heavenly King Shang replied, “There is an empty period in the history of the ancient times as a result of being wiped off completely by those up there. The ancient battle involving the presences at the level of the Heavenly Monarchs but everyone was all killed. Obviously, the winner of this battle did not want their dark histories left behind and if I reported to the Realm Monarchs about what happened, I will be asking for death. Now, heed my call!”

  His subordinates immediately gave their full attention while he ordered, “No one speaks of what happened just now! No! Extract that part of your memory out and erase it! Death to those who dare to preserve it!”

  His men immediately extracted their memory out and they deleted it without hesitation.

  Heavenly King Shang then looked at Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others who silently did what he ordered before he looked at Shi Yinji and said hesitantly, “It’s fine if you don’t want to. Just tell this to Realm Monarch or the Queen and they will know what to do.”

  Shi Yinji however, said without hesitation, “I know what how serious this is and there is no need to trouble them.”

  With that said, she extracted that part of her memory out and exterminated it.

  The Heavenly King looked at Zhong Yue and when he was about to ask him, Zhong Yue shook, “I want to keep it.”

  Heavenly King Shang considered this for a second and he nodded, “The presence behind you is powerful enough to withstand the outcome. However, you must beware of what you speak from now on or you will bring great trouble to yourself and even drag us along.”

  “Of course.” replied Zhong Yue as he looked at Heavenly King Shang who was preparing to delete his memory after the rest erased their memories.

  Right after he removed his own memory, Heavenly King Shang stood there with an empty mind before fear consu
med him and he looked back as he shouted, “We were still just outside of the imperial battlefield and the teleportal beam was just interrupted. Just how did we get here?”

  …

  The eight generals too, had fear crawled up on their faces and they exclaimed, “We remember nothing about that as well!”

  “Same here!”

  “I don’t remember it too!”

  ….

  On the ships, the many gods and demons panicked; in their memory after the removal of what happened, they only remembered that their teleportation was only canceled by this strange place and the rest was completely blank; they knew nothing of what happened or how did they get here.

  “I will not come here again! I would rather detour and spend another year if I had to!” said Heavenly King Shang angrily.

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, looked at the many panicked gods and demons calmly; while the others erased their memories, Zhong Yue kept his.

  But this secret shall never be spoken and it will rot in his heart.

  So long as he remembered the bloodshed of his ancestors and the things they did for the future of Fuxi Celestial Race.

  And someday in the future, he would return with his sabers for revenge.

  The fleet sailed closer and closer to Bo Luo Six Path World and they finally docked at the Heaven Court. The Bo Luo Six Path World’s Heaven court was extremely huge; it had many levels and each level consisted of a main and secondary compound which were huge, bright and saint.

  This world was much more luxurious and saintly than Wei Shen Six Path World. Spirit clouds floated around and various gods and demons revealed their true forms as they cultivated in the skies, ground and ocean.

  “Come back to your senses! Don’t act like you’re from some backwater place!”

  Heavenly King Shang looked at his men and he shouted, “Stand up straight and do not show any fear or nervousness in your eyes!

  Before the fleet fully came to a stop however, a laugh rang out, “Brother Shang! It’s been a long time, do you still remember me?”

  “Of course! It’s an honour to have Brother Fu welcome us personally!” Heavenly King Shang replied as he walked towards another Heavenly King whose jewelery shone brightly. He looked at the eight generals and said, “This is Heavenly King Fu from the Bo Luo Six Path World.”

  The eight generals immediately bowed and greeted Heavenly King Fu who then said, “Now, the Realm Monarchs are all sharing their ideas and experiences in Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion. You’ve arrived at a very nice time. Settle them down and I will take you to the corner of Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion to have a peek, perhaps, you will benefit from that.”

  Happiness struck Heavenly King Shang and he immediately shouted, “Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion? If I could listen to the 3000 Realm Monarchs’ discussion on cultivation, I would do anything for it!”

  “What is this Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion?” asked a curious Shi Yinji.

  Heavenly King Shang did not explain however, and he quickly introduced, “This is the daughter of Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan.”

  Heavenly King Fu glanced at Shi Yinji before he pointed at the deeper part of Heaven Court and said, “There! Look at that tower shrouded in heavenly light along with supernatural phenomenal. That is Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion, the place where the Realm Monarch meets his guests, which includes god knows how many Realm Monarchs and even the Imperial Emperors! Even when the current Heavenly Monarch was on the world trip, His Majesty rested in the Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion during His Majesty’s stay in the Bo Luo Six Path World! Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion is the number one sacred ground of our world!”

  Zhong Yue and the others immediately looked towards where he pointed and it was exactly just like what Heavenly King Fu said; there was a place in the deeper parts of the Heaven Court that appeared to be marvelous with floating prosperous spirit clouds, decorated with bells, towers, and other saint jewelries.

  And vaguely, there was some kind of amazing Dao voices that could heard and these voices transmitted right into their soul.

  “Truly stunning!” Yo Bochuan praised, “Is there any way for us to enter it?”

  Heavenly King Fu asked, “Who is this gentlemen?”

  “A junior from Prison Realm,” replied Heavenly King Shang.

  “Hmph! You do not have the qualification! Where do you think this is? You are all in the Bo Luo Six Path World, the place where all Realm Monarchs gathered and the closest place to the Zi Wei Galaxy! Who do you think you are?”

  An angered Yu Bochuan then shouted, “What a snake! He immediately changed his attitude after learning that I’m from Prison Realm!”

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, calmed him down, “Brother Bochuan, don’t put yourself on the same level as him….”

  “And this is?” asked Heavenly King Fu again.

  Heavenly King Shang then said, “He is also from the Prison Realm of our world….”

  However, before he managed to finish his sentence, Heavenly King Fu had already shouted angrily, “Little brat! Don’t be so full of yourself and watch how you speak!”

  A stunned Heavenly King Shang then said after he recollected his thought, “But he has an innate god as his backer…. Even the Realm Monarch of our world is very polite to him.”

  Immediately, the expression of Heavenly King Fu became very interesting.

  Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion, the Realm Monarchs had their seats as they vigorously debated the dao. Sometimes, when they got overly excited, they would even stand up and justify their views by exchanging quick and light skills.

  Among them, the Realm Monarch of Bo Luo Six Path World, Dao Ming, was the most outstanding of all. He was tall and hidden within his eyes seemed to be the depths of the galaxy as he appeared to be the most impressive among the others.

  The others were also very respectful of him, after all, Dao Ming was the strongest among them and this was acknowledged by all of them and he was even one that is half a leg into the level of Imperial Emperor.

  This was extraordinary for if he managed to enter the level of Imperial Emperor, he would rise as the king of all Realm Monarchs, hence, even if he was just half way there, he was already more than just amazing.

  Because of that, even when his name was Dao Ming, the other Realm Monarchs addressed him as Realm Monarch Bo Luo out of respect.

  All of a sudden, Realm Monarch Bo Luo frowned and let out a short humph in surprise, which garnered the attention of the other Realm Monarchs before they asked, “What’s the surprise about, Realm Monarch Bo Luo?”

  The surprised Realm Monarch Bo Luo couldn’t help but to smile and he replied, “Strange, I just felt that part of me had entered the Heaven Court and it’s very near us. Really strange!”

  The other Realm Monarchs were all caught off guard by his word and they asked, “How come?”

  “I was trapped myself in a very dire situation and lost one of my scales, which was then obtained by one youngling. And now, this scale that I lost had entered my Heaven Court. But since it’s returned, I will just summon it back to me.”

  On the other side, Zhong Yue felt a sudden tremble in his Yuan Shen Secret Realm and the scale mirror hidden inside sliced his secret realm apart and flew towards the Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion!

  Zhong Yue was in intense shock and right away, he recalled the terrifying creature that was digging the tomb in the sun of Ancestral Star, “Oh no!”

  Chapter 726: Unprecedented Predicament |

  When Zhong Yue got close to the edge of the sun and attempted to retrieve the Innate Sun Spirit, the solar storm coincidentally erupted and quite a number of Innate Sun Spirits flew towards Ancestral Star.

  And the one Zhong Yue had received was the Sovereign Tree. Although the tree couldn’t become his spirit, it could still nurture his Golden Crow True Spirit and slowly morph it into an Innate True Spirit. Up until now, the Sovereign Tree w
as still within his Yuan Shen and it had since became the nest of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit.

  At that time, Zhong Yue discovered a horrifying existence within the sun; it was a creature incredibly huge that was digging right into the sun’s core towards the Emperor’s Tomb. While he snuck into the sun, he saw a gigantic mirror which reflected everything about him.

  As the mirror moved, even more mirrors emerged and he later discovered that these mirrors were actually scales of a being he couldn’t fathom.

  Then, the seals in the tomb exploded, injuring the owner of the scales and thereby benefitting Zhong Yue; he managed to obtain one of the scales and since then, it had became one of his treasures.

  There were blood stains on that scale he obtained but given the unique bloodline of the owner, even Xin Huo failed to identify the owner’s race.

  But Zhong Yue had still gained tremendously from the scale mirror. With the mirror, he enabled the cultivators of the Swords Gate to make quantum leaps in their training. Besides, with the ability to reflect one’s weaknesses, Zhong Yue managed to triumph against his opponents time and time again.

  In his heart, however, he clearly knew that the owner of the scale was not a benevolent being because that tomb that creature was trying to dig into was the tomb of the Sui Sovereign!

  The tombs of these sovereigns back in Earth and the Flame Order Era was the shield of Ancestral Star that kept invaders at bay. Thus, it was obvious that the owner of the scales bore only ill intent towards the Ancestral Star when he tried to dig into the tomb.

  Now, after sensing the scale hidden in Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen Secret Realm, the owner of the scales summoned his scale back.

  The scale flew right towards Lesser Saint Heaven Realm, suggesting that the owner was one of the Realm Monarchs and now, the attention of this Realm Monarch is onto him now!

  This Realm Monarch was injured in the sun, lost one of his scales because of that and now, after retrieving his scale back, the information of Zhong Yue was bound to be exposed and this Realm Monarch will know Zhong Yue had come from the Ancestral Star!
