Rise of Humanity

  But Realm Monarch Bo Luo was barely affected by that. In his eyes, such benefits were barely anything to him, thus, what was the matter of giving Zhong Yue a little bit of awards he desired?

  “Hmmm, since you have cultivated the arts of my ancestors, and what you obtained was just a portion of them, I will teach you the complete art as a little compensation to you.”

  With a smile, Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s psyche waved and entered Zhong Yue’s mind, passed him the complete art of Bo Xun and Realm Monarch Bo Luo said, “This art is called [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art], one of the many innate godly arts out there and something that is only to be taught to those of the Bo Xun bloodline. However, I will break the rule this time. But remember, you must never teach this art to anyone else.”

  Suddenly, Zhong Yue felt that he had fallen into the abyss with no hope of getting out as soon as Realm Monarch Bo Luo darkened his expression and said, “Should you teach this art to anyone else, I will forcefully strip this art from you. I’m sure you know what I mean.”

  Zhong Yue nodded right away, “Don’t worry, Realm Monarch, this will definitely not happen!

  How was an art taught to someone be retracted? Of course it was by having the person who leaked the art and those who learned this art from that person all killed.

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo then smiled and said, “Go through [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] thoroughly and feel free to seek guidance from me shall you have any questions. Now, little friend, I still have a competition to run….”

  Zhong Yue ran through the art again in his mind and he was extremely happy as the art was highly advanced.

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo then left and not long later, a beautiful lady greeted him and complaint, “My lord, are you not afraid of offending him by teaching him that art?”

  “Why is he going to be mad at me when he couldn’t learn the art?”

  With a strangely looking smile, the lady replied, “The [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] is not something that can be learned that easily. The prerequisite to cultivating every innate godly art is to cultivate the Innate Dao and this is impossible for non-innate living beings! They could only extract a part of the art to cultivate and convert it into non-innate. Even you had yet to completely cultivate this art. You only managed to cultivate it roughly and if he realizes this, he will hate you for this!”

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo shook and he said seriously, “[Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] is really a top tier art and I did not hold back when I taught him this art. My own arts were all based on the [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] and if he is smart enough, he will be able to attain something from it.”

  “What if he fails? After all, he is just an Imminent Deity level Qi Practitioner and this art is completely out of his league.”

  “Then he has only himself to blame for his incompetence,” grinned Realm Monarch Bo Luo.

  At the same time, Zhong Yue had returned to his room and started to study the art. He thought, I’ve always lacked a top tier demonic art and now, I’ve finally had one! This is an art created by an innate demonic god and it’s best when an innate demonic god cultivates it but since I have an Innate Yuan Shen, I will still be able to cultivate most of it!

  Innate godly arts were much more advanced than ordinary arts as they contained Innate Dao but at the same time, they were extremely hard to comprehend.

  A newly born innate god possessed the power of a Celestial Emperor; they were given birth by the heaven and earth, which bestowed them with a very high starting point.

  It was also hard to understand and acquire the Dao of innate gods, especially for the likes of Zhong Yue; he was after all, in the Imminent Deity level and there was still quite a ways to go before he could have the strength of the emperors. Hence, a huge amount of effort was required if he wanted to cultivate [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art].

  Totem carvings danced around Zhong Yue as he sat on the ground. He calculated this art with [Yang Line and Yin Line] and ran into countless obstacles as the [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] was simply too hard for him.

  Without being able to attend the competition, I will just focus on cultivating this art!

  He then shut himself in while the competition proceeded. This time, the competition took place in one of the sacred realms in Bo Luo Six Paths World that was developed by the previous Heavenly Monarch. This secret realm was called Heaven Origin Reincarnation Realm and when looked at from afar, it appeared to be a huge mirror. In it, it contained the unique traits and secrets of Six Path Reincarnation.

  However, though it was located within Bo Luo Six Paths World, it was not a property of the Six Paths World. Ever since it was created, which was a very long time ago, the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Realm had already evolved and it possessed it’s own spirit now; it refused to acknowledge Realm Monarch Bo Luo or others, thus, making it be masterless at the moment.

  Upon entering this secret realm, time was stopped and one would not lose a single second of his life in here. Death was impossible in here and it was filled with countless amazing things about the Six Path Reincarnation, which was used by the previous Heavenly Monarch to explain the Six Path Reincarnations to all Realm Monarchs.

  This secret realm was closed off to everyone at usual times, it was only opened during the competition between the three thousand Six Path Worlds. There were two purposes for this place to be selected as the battleground: one was to prevent the death of all contestants as after being killed in this secret realm, one would be revived after the battle, and the second purpose was to give them a chance to experience the heritage left behind by the Heavenly Monarch.

  Each time, no matter if they won or lost in the battle, the contestants would all benefit from entering Heaven Origin Reincarnation Realm.

  “What a pity. Brother Zhong was blocked from participating.”

  Yu Bochuan looked at the paintings on the walls of the palace which depicted a celestial being that faced his back at Yu Bochuan. The celestial made strange hand signs and even it was just a painting, there was a marvelous aura coming from it, which unknowingly made Yu Bochuan imitate the pose of the celestial being.

  Then, the celestial being in the painting moved eerily, launching a light ray that absorbed Yu Bochuan into the painting before having him completely stacked and danced with the celestial being.

  Moments later, a disbelief Yu Bochuan got out from the paint; after being absorbed into the paint and dancing with the celestial being, Yu Bochuan had learned a very incredible Six Path Art without his senses!

  Brother Zhong couldn’t get into this battle, what a shame!

  Yu Bochuan sighed, lamenting that Zhong Yue was robbed of this opportunity. But this did not stop him from looking into another painting.

  …

  On the other hand, Ju Ying emerged from the ocean. He ran into a dragon palace beneath the water and obtained great rewards; his fleshly body’s power had surged and his overall strength experienced a quantum leap as he thought, Lord Yue lost a lot by not being able to attend this battle! He may be stronger than me now but after getting out from this secret realm, I will be on top of him!

  Suddenly, he frowned and his excitement vanished as he murmured, “If he hadn’t fallen for Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s trap, he will still be able to participate in this great battle and if that happened, he will still be on top of me… What a shame that he couldn’t come….”

  “Hmmm, with everything I’ve gained, darling will not be able to win against me anymore.”

  Shi Yinji was currently soaked in a jade pool filled with Dao water that was equally strong as the one Zhong Yue obtained back in the Ancient Lands of God Graves.

  She suddenly giggled and said, “It was me that always gotten beaten up. This time, I will be the one beating him up….”

  Pa—

  The lady swung her whip onto the air and giggled, “This is getting interesting. I am looking forward to seeing his humiliated expression!”

  ….

  Within H
eaven Origin Reincarnation Realm, the Qi Practitioners all had their own fortuitous encounters, and even if they were killed, they were still revived outside of Heaven Origin Reincarnation Realm.

  When they were killed within the realm, their corresponding Six Path World would have one point deducted and the killer will obtain a point for his world. The battle would only end when one person remained.

  In just a few days, 20,000 contestants were eliminated from the battle and half a month later, another 6,000 were disqualified. With that, only 2,000 remained.

  Two months later, there were only 400.

  And after another half a year, fewer than twenty remained.

  Nine from the Wei Shen Six Path World had already gotten eliminated. Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and Shi Yinji were among them but before they died, they had already eliminated twenty-six participants, and this greatly relieved the stress of Realm Monarch Yunshan.

  As long as they obtained more than nine points, they would no longer rank at the bottom and with twenty-six contestants being eliminated by them, the Wei Shen Six Path World had earned themselves 26 points. After having nine points deducted, they still had 15 points, which prevented them from getting negative scores like before.

  Thus, although they still had a low rank, Realm Monarch Yunshan was more than pleased as they no longer ranked last.

  If Realm Monarch Bo Luo had not set Zhong Yue up, this monster would have brought us into top ten…. What a shame …. Sighed Realm Monarch Yunshan.

  Another ten days had passed since then and only ten remained. This time, this battle had turned into a battle to decide the ranking of individuals instead of the world; whoever won would become the top one in all worlds, which intensified the battle as the top ten fought ferociously!

  Ever since from the beginning, only the first would be remembered and who would pay attention to the second place?

  In the end, Prince Bo Di did not fail his people and he triumphed from the failures of his foes!

  And at the same time, Zhong Yue had finally cultivated [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] completely!

  Chapter 733: Innate Qi |

  The [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] is indeed incredible!

  Zhong Yue channeled the power of this art and felt the Innate Dao trembling vigorously. His body was not strong enough to channel the power of his art so he relied on his Innate Yuan Shen to activate it but even so, his improvements were beyond his imagination as there was now Innate Qi within his Yuan Shen!

  Whether it be Qi Practitioners or gods, no matter how strong they were, their powers were all cultivated bit by bit. They were not born with them.

  The only way to achieve Innate Qi was to awaken the Innate True Spirit and Innate True Soul at the same time.

  Just this alone was already impossible to most people out there and without the Innate Yuan Shen, all they could do was nurture the Innate Qi given to them by innate gods. Little by little, they would have to cultivate and nurture the Innate Qi to a level where it would be sufficient for combat.

  But then again, even the life of a god would come to an end one day and when they passed away, their Innate Qi would be taken back by the innate gods; after an entire life of hard work, the Innate Qi they cultivated so hard would only become feedstock for innate gods.

  Zhong Yue was very much different, however. He was the one and only one non-innate living being to have managed to achieve the Innate Yuan Shen, making it no longer exclusive only to the innate gods and making him able to cultivate Innate Qi himself as well!

  His energy slowly evolved into Innate Qi but his Innate Qi was split into five types. There was the Innate Yin Qi, Innate Yang Qi, Innate Celestial Qi, and Innate Demon Qi.

  But apart from these four, there was also another type of Innate Qi that Zhong Yue couldn’t figure out.

  The Innate Yin Qi was formed because of the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, which was the moon spirit. The Innate Yang Qi was because of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit; that was the sun spirit.

  On the other hand, the Innate Celestial Qi matched with his celestial cultivation and the Innate Demon Qi was because of his demonic cultivation.

  These four types of Qi represented his four types of cultivation.

  Celestial, Demon, Yin and Yang formed his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], and that was the root of his cultivation.

  So where did the last Innate Qi come?

  This Innate Qi appeared to be extremely vague and it was basically impossible to identify it’s function and element.

  Strange, what formed this unknown Innate Qi?

  He was confused.

  He didn’t even know the fifth Innate Qi appeared even when he only cultivated four types of Qi.

  This Innate Qi was completely unknown; its origin was not known, its element was unidentified and its usage was vague.

  Zhong Yue tried to stimulate this Innate Qi and used it to cast skills, only to discover that it was entirely powerless.

  Forget it, I will just leave it aside first. My cultivation is mainly based on the celestial, demon, Yin and Yang power and I shall continue focusing on these four. If I manage to cultivate everything into Innate Qi, my overall strength will reach new heights!

  As his original Qi slowly evolved into Innate Qi, the capacity of his Qi shrunk rapidly; almost a thousand times the amount of Qi was required to turn into Innate Qi; even with the extremely high capacity of his energy, he failed to sustain such a rate of consumption and it did not take long until he realized his volume of energy had plummeted precipitously!

  If I convert all my energy into Innate Qi….

  His eyes widened as he ran through a calculation and he lost his voice for a moment, “Then my energy capacity is equivalent to an Inner Core level Qi Practitioner’s!”

  He was a little dumbfounded; cultivation level was represented by the capacity of energy and the levels; if he converted all his energy into Innate Qi, his level would not drop back to Inner Core level but his energy capacity will!

  Which also meant that even when he was in the Imminent Deity level, his energy was just at the Inner Core level!

  Will it take a large amount of Qi if I use the Innate Qi to cast skills?

  Zhong Yue blinked his eyes; back then, when he still had a large amount of energy capacity, quite a large sum of energy was required to cast skills and the energy used when he cast three skills was the total energy capacity of an Inner Core level Qi Practitioner.

  Thus, if he converted all his energy into Innate Qi, did it meant that he would deplete his energy completely after three moves?

  “That surely cannot be the case….” murmured Zhong Yue as he tried to comfort himself while he continued his cultivation. Sometime later, he finally turned all his energy into Innate Qi; the Innate Yin, Yang, Celestial and Demon Qi experienced a great hike in power and they all turned into four cosmic streams in his body.

  And along with the four Qi, the unknown Innate Qi was also strengthened but its usage and element remained a mystery to him.

  Zhong Yue did not bother with this unknown innate Qi for now and he thought,Though they have their own elements, I can still turn these Innate Qi into other powers like the five elements, the heaven, earth, myriad livings, and even Dao through the Six Path Reincarnation. Thus, with the Innate Qi that I have cultivated, I had sort of turned into a full elemental innate spirit body as I could perform all Innate Qi through Six Path Reincarnation!

  His confidence surged and he immediately started activating his six great Yuan Shen Secret Realm, launched the Six Path Reincarnation in an attempt to turn his power into the five elements.

  Hmmm? Something’s not right….

  His expression became grave; ever since cultivating the Dao totem patterns of Six Paths Reincarnation, it was easy for him to turn every power into a specific power through Six Paths Reincarnation.

  And now, he was unable to do so!

  Zhong Yue took in a long breath and he repeated the process, only to fail again.


  Again and again, he changed another power and each time, he failed.

  The Six Paths Reincarnation could not convert Innate Qi’s elements!

  Zhong Yue sweated as he came into a conclusion. Although his energy had all evolved into Innate Qi, his Six Paths Reincarnation was as good as destroyed!

  The Six Paths Reincarnation was used to unify the all power as one to increase its overall potency. It was the biggest asset of all talented individuals who had achieved all six great Yuan Shen Secret Realms and Six Paths Reincarnation!

  And now, with his Six Paths Reincarnation unable to convert Innate Qi, he was now essentially handicapped into being able to only control one portion of his powers at a time!

  “Xin Huo! Xin Huo!”

  He woke Xin Huo who was sleeping and after telling Xin Huo what happened, he asked, “With your vast experience, you surely know what made my Six Paths Reincarnation like this right?”

  Xin Huo thought for a while and he replied with a smile, “I know. This is Bo Xun’s fault. He was born before the creation of Six Paths Reincarnation and he died before that as well, thus, he had no idea about Six Paths Reincarnation. This is the reason. Six Paths Reincarnation was not taken into consideration in his heritage and this is also why you’re unable to convert the elements of Innate Qi freely after cultivating his techniques.”

  With a frown, Zhong Yue replied, “Does that mean that I can only utilize a quarter of my strength at a time?”

  “With your energy all turned into Innate Qi, one over four portions of your strength is just slightly weaker than your full strength before you converted your energy into Innate Qi.” said Xin Huo, “You could convert your Innate Qi into non-Innate Qi freely if you wish. If you want your full strength back, why don’t you just convert your Innate Qi back into normal energy temporarily?”

  Zhong Yue immediately put his thought into action and just like what Xin Huo said, his Innate Qi could still be returned into ordinary energy but after turning back into ordinary energy, his Innate Qi remained ununified when it returned to Innate Qi.
