Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  The ladies, Dong Ah and Xi He, were still confused but they didn’t dare to ask anymore.

  …

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue was swiftly moving away from the Lei Zhe Six Path World’s Hell and after distancing himself away from the Lei Zhe Galaxy, he let out a shout and his Bi Xie carriage drove out from Hell, returned to the real world and he realized he was now in the Lei Zhe Six Path World’s Heaven Realm.

  He shook his body and turned into a Leizhe Celestial Race’s disciple to disguise himself and he went straight towards Wei Shen Six Path World after finding a teleportal.

  How should I cultivate after returning to the Wei Shen Six Path World? Zhong Yue thought carefully, I’ve managed to get into the 48th level, cultivated for 11 years. Whether it be my body, Yuan Shen, energy, psyche or soul weapon, they have little room of improvement anymore. My calculation skills are also reaching the limit now…. Hmmm, then all that’s left for me is to awaken my bloodline….

  He frowned slightly at this idea since he was bound to encounter that sinister existence again if he tried to awaken his bloodline.

  He still had no confidence against him.

  Bloodline awakening is just a way and the other way is the Innate Mortal Body.

  The teleportal cosmic wave dashed across the universe towards Wei Shen Six Path World while Zhong Yue murmured, “I cultivated six innate Qi and I nurtured my body with the six Qi, pushing my body towards the innate body. But the progress was still very slow. Perhaps, I can lower my standards for now and go after the Pure Yang Dao Fruit….”

  In the 81st Pure Yang Lei Zhe level, there was a Pure Yang Dao Fruit, branding of the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit.

  It was impossible for him to harvest the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit at the moment but he could still absorb some knowledge about the innate from the Pure Yang Dao Fruit and it might even be a short cut.

  Then it’s decided! thought Zhong Yue.

  Half a year later, he returned to Wei Shen Six Path World and returned to his courtyard where Jun Wudao and the others were waiting for him. As soon as they received news of Zhong Yue’s return, they rushed out; Li Tianxing, Yu Bochuan who stayed somewhere else also showed up and welcomed him back. Not long later, Shi Yinji and Ju Ying also visited him as soon as they heard the news.

  Laughter and happiness were all over the courtyard and it became extremely lively; they celebrated Zhong Yue’s return and they asked him about his journey, to which he smiled without replying.

  Then, orders from Realm Monarch Yunshan arrived. The Realm Monarch awarded Zhong Yue with a lot of precious items and Heavenly King Shang had an officer pass a letter to Zhong Yue which explained his guilt and embarrassment for not being able to guarantee Zhong Yue’s safety. Zhong Yue returned a letter telling him not to worry about it.

  Fa Zhaozhen also sent a god and had him tell Zhong Yue that his son, Fa Huasheng, had been reborn into the Ju Fang Celestial Race and was now 14 years of age, and if Zhong Yue ran into Fa Huasheng in the Heaven Realm, he had better watch out or Fa Zhaozhen will chase after him if anything happened.

  Zhong Yue was speechless and he told the god, “Go back to your Realm Lord, tell him that I am not obsessed with killing his son and there is no need for such a reminder. Tell him not to worry so long as long as his son does not seek trouble with me.”

  As the god returned with Zhong Yue’s message, Fa Zhaozhen was enraged and he shouted, “This damn fool! How dare he still have the intention of killing my son if my son sought trouble with him! This brat killed my two sons! You, go and tell Fa Huasheng not to do anything stupid or I will disown him!”

  The god immediately nodded fearfully and went right after Fa Huasheng with Fa Zhaozhan’s order.

  Zhong Yue then settled down in Heaven Realm and after a few days, he stepped foot in the Pure Yang Lei Zhe again, which of course, shocked the entire Heaven Realm once again.

  This time, the battle lasted a very long time, about two years. It attracted the attention of Realm Monarch Yunshan and the other Heavenly Kings and officers.

  A year later, Zhong Yue was in the 72nd level and in this level, the lightning sparks filled his vision and nothing could be seen other than lightning.

  When he got into this level, his speed slowed down and after another year, Zhong Yue finally made his way into the 81st level.

  The Heaven Realm has shaken once again and this time, Realm Monarch Yunshan remained silent with a gloomy countenance.

  Heavenly King Shang, who stood by his side, immediately felt worried and he thought, Realm Monarch wanted to recruit Zhong Yue as his subordinate because he knew he could still control the young man to keep restraint on the overly powerful Queen Shi Ji. But now, Zhong Yue had shown talent brighter than Realm Monarch Yunshan’s, which suggests that he will surpass him. This is something the Realm Monarch cannot allow. This human Zhong Yue is dead for sure. I suppose I will have to distance myself from him now.

  In the 81st level, Zhong Yue stood in the skies and beneath him was a thick Lei Zhe. Somewhere in front of him was a Pure Yang celestial tree that stood a few hundred meters tall and this tree had branches with lightning leaves. What hung on these branches were Pure Yang Dao Fruits, the essence of heaven and earth’s Dao that contained limitless wonders.

  A Pure Yang Dao Fruit was more than enough for a Qi Practitioner to become a god and achieve the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, obtaining the essence of heaven and earth’s Dao.

  Finally, I’m finally going to get my hands on one. I wonder if it can enhance my body a step further….

  He walked towards the Pure Yang Dao Fruit with excitement, only to realize that a dimensional crack had appeared as a huge hand grabbed towards the tree!

  Ka-cha—

  Around Zhong Yue, dimensional cracks appeared as even more hands and divine weapons flew towards the tree. Among them, Zhong Yue noticed a round and huge red gourd. With its lid opened, tremendous suction power was applied onto the Pure Yang divine tree.

  Then, another tower cloaked in bright celestial ray flew out in an attempt to steal the tree.

  Right behind the tower was some other divine weapons like sabers, bells and other towers, all came with the motive of stealing Zhong Yue’s fruit!

  Just how shameless can you all get!

  Zhong Yue was enraged; he struggled his way right into the 81st level and after the difficulties he went through, those with high positions such as the Heavenly Kings actually tried to rob him of his profit and they even wanted to take the tree with them!

  And Zhong Yue recognized that tower. It was Heavenly King Shang’s tower!

  The heaven trembled as the divine weapons clashed but what happened next was strange. No matter how hard they fought, how strong their skills were, none of them managed to acquire the Pure Yang divine tree as if that tree was not there in the first place. Though the tree towered there without moving at all, each time the hands and divine weapons of these robbers grabbed onto the tree, they would just phase through the tree.

  “This is just a mark of the divine tree left in the heaven and earth, not a real object.” said a voice from the sky.

  In a split second, the hands and divine weapons disappeared without a sign while the many Heavenly Kings and those higher-ups observed Zhong Yue from afar like they were not related to what happened.

  Zhong Yue grinned and he proceeded towards the tree and grabbed onto a Pure Yang Dao Fruit.

  “Lord Yue, are you interested in trading with us?”

  Voices came from everywhere as these higher-ups spoke; they wanted to make a trade with Zhong Yue for the fruit but their words fell on deaf ears as Zhong Yue swallowed the fruit.

  Chapter 746: Innate Dao Mark |

  Upon seeing this, the many Heavenly Kings and Dharma Kings felt an immense sense of loss. That fruit could only be obtained by those who withstood the tributions to reach the 81st Pure Yang Lei Zhe level.

  However, there hadn’t been anyone who managed to obtain one ever since 100,000 years ago and now, one fin
ally appeared.

  If it was not their own Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations, be it how strong and how capable these people are, they would not be able to get their hands on the fruit and only those who triggered Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations could. Too bad for them, Zhong Yue swallowed the fruit right away and together with that, their hopes and dreams.

  If he hadn’t immediately swallowed it, they would have either taken it by force or trade it with any cost they could pay in order to obtain this fruit.

  “The biggest gain from consuming the Pure Yang Dao Fruit was not achieving the Pure Yang Yuan Shen but the innate Dao attainments contained deep in the fruit.” Ju Fang Celestial Race’s King Ju Zhen murmured, “Pure Yang Yuan Shen was just a tiny bonus that came along with the fruit. The attainments in it are the most important ones. Since he had consumed this fruit, if I capture him and turn him into a medicinal pellet, I might still be able to extract the attainments out from him….”

  His murmurings were also shared by many of the other unscrupulous onlookers around as they all looked at Zhong Yue as if he was a human shape Pure Yang Dao Fruit.

  But the question was, who dared to?

  It was no longer a secret that Zhong Yue was backed by an innate god. With that, even the Realm Monarchs did not dare to touch him, let alone those who were much weaker than the Realm Monarchs.

  “What a shame. If I had the fruit, I would’ve been successfully able to comprehend the secrets of the innate Dao. The fruit is going to be wasted in the hands of this Imminent Deity level human.”

  A celestial emperor shook his head and sighed, “Just how much can he learn?”

  In the 81st Pure Yang Lei Zhe, Zhong Yue suddenly sat in the lotus position; as soon as the fruit entered his body, it melted right away and wave after wave of Pure Yang energy surged right into his Yuan Shen.

  The energy contained within the Pure Yang Dao Fruit was extremely terrifying. The energy was much thicker and more powerful than the energy in his body after he cultivated throughout time. As the energy surged towards him, he would definitely achieve the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and his Yuan Shen’s cultivation level would reach new heights!

  From afar, Zhong Yue was engulfed in an endless warm golden light. It was the Pure Yang Dao power that is much stronger than Pure Yang energy by a few levels. The Pure Yang Dao Energy was too abundant that it started to leak out from Zhong Yue’s body, thus, the golden light that surrounded him.

  Upon seeing this, the many gods, demons and Qi Practitioners grew jealous of Zhong Yue for with such enormous energy, a lot of time would be spared. If Zhong Yue became a god on the spot, he would rise as one of the tops with the most solid basics!

  “How nice would it be if I was the one with the fruit,” said a Qi Practitioner.

  And the Celestial and Demon Emperors, they all knew that the Pure Yao Dao energy was just the least to gain from the fruit, the best was still the innate Dao attainments!

  Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen flew out and unshackled itself from the Pure Yang Dao Power and floated on top of his body.

  No one knew what he was doing and they exclaimed in surprise and at the same time, a loud noise came from Zhong Yue’s body like metal cranking.

  Zheng zheng zheng—

  With each trembling, alluring totem carvings emerged from his body and turned into a huge furnace, submerging his body inside of it.

  The furnace stood at least 10,000 meters tall from the ground with totem carvings rotating around its surface!

  [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]!

  He actually visualized the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] with his energy and through the furnace he cultivated hardly for eleven years in Ancient Lei Zhe Realm to refine his body.

  Eleven years of hard work and after consuming an endless amount of lightning, the furnace in his body of the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] had been cultivated into an extremely high level almost to the point of solidification. Totem carvings on the surface were clearly visible and the various exotic creatures on the totem carvings were so real as if they were alive and was about to walk down from the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]!

  Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen floated at the top and with the energy surged out from the Yuan Shen, the fire in the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] burned brightly, refining his body and channeling even more Pure Yang Dao Energy into it.

  He had already achieved the Pure Yang mortal body within Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, greatly improved his body to a level with barely any room of improvement. Now, however, with the tremendous Pure Yang Dao Energy, his Pure Yang mortal body was pushed into the next level with insane speed!

  “What is he doing!”

  Countless Qi Practitioners, gods, and demons lost their voices as they felt that the fruit had gone to waste; in their minds, Zhong Yue had lost his mind as with that much Pure Yang Dao Energy, he did not attempt to cultivate the Pure Yang Yuan Shen but hurled them all into his body!

  And the many Heavenly Kings, celestial and demon emperors did not think so as some of them had been to Zi Wei Galaxy as pilgrims. They have heard of a way of cultivating the Pure Yang Body, which could grant those Qi Practitioners from strong backgrounds to have one Extreme level more than the ordinary Qi Practitioners.

  “Am I thinking what you’re thinking? Did he know that there was such a way to achieve the second Extreme level in the Imminent Deity level?”

  “I guess so. After all, there is an innate god backing him up and it was probably this god that taught him such a method.”

  As they spoke with each other, little did they know that Zhong Yue had already achieved what they said. This time, he was trying to push his body and evolve it into the innate body!

  The Pure Yang Dao Energy within the fruit was extremely pure and the innate Dao attainments were undoubtedly complicated and wonderful. As the Pure Yang Dao Energy surged into his body, so did these attainments.

  As Zhong Yue refined his body with the Pure Yang Dao Energy, he tried his best to decipher and understand as much as he could about the innate Dao attainments. In the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], the Yin lines Yang lines danced about, forming a myriad of ethereal totem carvings!

  Within the Dao Fruit were these markings, which were not real innate Dao. The Pure Yang Dao Fruit was not as good as the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit; thus, the user had to learn and understand before cultivating the innate Dao.

  If the user learned nothing, then he would not gain anything and have the Pure Yang Dao Fruit ultimately wasted.

  Compared to the Pure Yang Dao Fruit, the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit was not as complicated; all the person had to do was consume the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit and he would automatically acquire the Innate Dao within the fruit.

  And that was why the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit was superior to the Pure Yang Dao Fruit.

  Right now, even with the knowledge and experience of successfully cultivating the [Innate Saint Mystic Ritual Art], Zhong Yue was still struggling and failed to grasp all the benefits brought about by the fruit.

  With that, he had no choice but to sacrifice part of the innate Dao attainments in search of those suitable for him.

  Apart from that, as he juggled channeling the Pure Yang Dao Energy into his body and comprehending the innate Dao attainments, the power he channeled into his body decreased drastically and he had to discard a portion of the power.

  A celestial emperor suddenly realized something and when he stared at Zhong Yue, he realized that the Pure Yang Dao Energy was leaking from the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], it was the power that Zhong Yue couldn’t absorb in time. As the power leaked out from the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], they slowly evaporated into thin air and the celestial emperor felt his heart aching painfully, he said, “What a waste! He wanted to have all the goods for himself, achieve the Pure Yang mortal body and obtain the wonders of innate Dao. This will only result in a scena
rio where he will lose both!”

  Suddenly, Zhong Yue discarded even more Pure Yang Dao Energy that he couldn’t absorb in time; if he stubbornly tried to contain all this power, it would burst his body apart.

  As he exhaled even more Pure Yang Dao Energy, a dazzling rainbow that was a few hundred feet long was formed.

  A Heavenly King who saw this immediately swung his hand and a huge sleeve appeared in the air before sucking the Pure Yang Dao Energy exhaled by Zhong Yue like a black hole. He then handed it to a young man standing beside him and said, “Nice, nice! This Pure Yang Dao Energy is extremely pure and if you managed to absorb it, it will be very good for you!”

  This young man was one of his celestial race’s member and upon hearing this, a smile spread across his face.

  The other kings who saw this immediately grew envious and inwardly berated themselves for being so slow to realize.

  “No point in getting jealous. Lord Yue will not be able to absorb that much power and he will definitely exhale more and that will be my time to harvest the power!

  Over the next ten days, Zhong Yue exhaled over 30 times, which meant that he exhaled over 30 rainbows made of Pure Yang Dao Energy and they were all taken away by the many kings from Heaven Realm to cultivate their people.

  Finally, Zhong Yue stopped exhaling Pure Yang Dao Energy and that marked the end of the power harvest competition among the Heavenly Kings.

  A demon emperor then murmured, “The power in the fruit is depleting, which means that the innate Dao attainments are disappearing too. I wonder how much he managed to grab a hold onto….”

  Another seven days later, the power within the fruit finally vanished and along with the power, the innate Dao attainments. Zhong Yue however, remained seated in the same position as he was trying to digest the gains he obtained from the fruit.

  The innate Dao attainments were way too complicated to be understood and even if he managed to learn something from them, he had to go through what he learned to verify their veracity before he cultivated them.
