Rise of Humanity

  “This old fox, sly and cunning.” Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, then he told his plan on the Xian Tian Royal Guard and asked, “Zi Guang, you are intelligent. So I ask, what do you think of this?”

  Whereas King Zi Guang’s face changed drastically, he exclaimed in shock, “Imperial Emperor, never do that!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s face turned gloomy and King Zi Guang quickly explained, “The Fuxi Clan was sealed at great expense to Him. How many died in the process? If the Xian Tian Royal Guard goes sideways…”

  “Zi Guang, you’re overthinking.” Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “The humans will not go sideways. Li Yang is here to help me, what can possibly go wrong?”

  King Zi Guang’s face changed again, he said, “How is Li Yang ever trustworthy? By his looks alone, I can tell he is not good news. Have the Xian Tian Royal Guard unsealed, but it must never in Li Yang’s hands, or troubles will arise!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was unhappy, he questioned, “So by that, you mean you should be the one controlling the Xian Tian Royal Guard?”

  King Zi Guang shuddered in cold, he dare not speak a word anymore.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian gave a cold sneer, he swung his sleeves and said, “I’ll see my teacher and have him unseal 50% of the Fuxi bloodline seals for the Xian Tian Royal Guard.”

  King Zi Guang’s heart thumped anxiously, but he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “If Imperial Emperor insists on unsealing the Xian Tian Royal Guard, that’ll be fine. But Imperial Emperor, when you see Him, please let him know of this Li Yang and check on this man. I have no good feelings about him and only He can clear his suspicions.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian left and arrived in the evil existence’s hideout, he bowed and greeted his teacher, telling the latter about his plans.

  Then, in hesitation, he voiced King Zi Guang’s worries and said, “Teacher, Zi Guang asked me to have you checked on this Li Yang.”

  “Unsealing the Fuxi bloodline is no small issue, it is wise to be sure.” The evil presence said, “Bring him to me.”

  After receiving his order, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was about to excuse himself and that was when the existence said in surprise, “Xian Tian, your fortune is experiencing a hike recently, why?”

  Fortune? Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was slightly stunned.

  Fortune was a very elusive concept to most people, but there were still some that could see it, but Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was not one of these people.

  “Your fortune is burning brightly like the raging fire of a meteor. It was already on its peak before and now, it became even brighter. Even I am rather shocked by it.”

  The existence continued, “When you came to me last time, I told you that you have the potential kismet of a Heavenly Monarch and that was based on the fortune I saw in you but it’s even stronger now. To be able to surge your fortune to such an extent, there must be someone with great fortune serving under you recently and that person is the cause of this.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept quiet for a second to think and he murmured, “I became enemies with the Heavenly Monarch recently so there were not many that came serving under me. Most of them are still sitting on the fence, how is there someone with great fortune that are willing to…. Wait a minute!”

  A moment clarity struck him and he quickly asked, “Teacher, the only one worthy that came to me recently is Li Yang, could it be him?”

  “Very likely. Perhaps he is the one.”

  The existence said, “With his great fortune, you will benefit greatly. His fortune will continuously help you but you have to understand that if his fortune overwhelms yours, your fortune will be devoured by him and in the end, nothing will be accomplished and everything will be his!”

  However, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian did not think that this was possible as he always thought the saying of fortune was something that shouldn’t be taken way too seriously. Besides, though he was an innate god in his previous life, Zhong Yue was a human right now and with an ordinary god cultivation level, what harm could he do?

  As for Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, he was the one that will rise as a Heavenly Monarch, a rare innate Heavenly Monarch and he was confident that there are not many that could overwhelm his fortune.

  “With that said, I suppose I have to see this Li Yang for myself and take a glimpse at his origins.” said the existence slowly, “If his fortune is too strong, then he must be removed from the game….”

  As soon as he spoke of this, he groaned as he felt his blood boiled and his body struck by something that cannot be seen while the dimension around trembled.

  The shocked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian immediately shouted, “Teacher!”

  “It’s nothing.”

  After suppressing the abnormal situations, the existence’s voice came from the divine palace, “It’s just a curse. As I get closer to that level, the curse that came with the sealing of Fuxi Celestial Race gets stronger but this is a good thing.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was more than just puzzled as he did not comprehend how a curse could be a good thing.

  “I am evolving into a Dao God and this innate body will be abandoned by then. The curse however, will remain in this body and will have nothing on my anymore while I become the God of Pure Gao and enter The Impossible World.”

  The existence said, “And with that, there will be no stains on me, which is good.”

  However, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian who was far away from reaching that level had barely any knowledge that the storm of confusion still raged within him. The existence showed no intention to explain furthermore and he said, “I need to shut myself in to cultivate now and try my best to unshackle myself from this body. Meanwhile, bring Li Yang to me but this will take a long time and it will hinder my cultivation. Hmmm, I’ve reached the crucial point in my cultivation and I must not linger around anymore. Bring my eye to see him, this eye of mine possesses the ability to see through a great deal of things so it will not be a problem to see through his origins.”

  From the divine palace came an eyeball with darkness roaring in it and only when the eye close will the darkness disappeared.

  And the strangest thing was that there was no blood behind the eye as if it was still connected to the existence’s body.

  At his level, his body had become terrific divine weapons and any body parts could be turned into extremely powerful items.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept the eye away and asked again, “Teacher, then what about the Xian Tian Royal Guard bloodline….”

  “Simple.” replied the existence, “I will teach you the way to remove the first five level of seals. After removing the seals, their souls would return to 100,000 years ago to see me and I will show them mercy.”

  The shocked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shouted, “Teacher, can you return to 100,000 years ago?”

  “No. The Great Curse can only bind a certain period of time to a specific dimension 100,000 years ago. You are still far from this level so it’s normal that you don’t understand. This is a technique that can only be used after cultivating the Fuxi Race’s own [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] the peak. It will be taught to you after you became the new Heavenly Monarch. Now, leave me.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded and bowed and he returned to Xian Tian Palace with that eye.

  His journey back was uneventful, but suddenly, somewhere far away in the Zi Wei Galaxy came a divine light which made Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stop in his tracks.

  He looked carefully towards the divine light, only to realize that it was actually a blazing divine flame that emerged from a huge cauldron. The fire lit the space and it was much dazzling than the sunlight.

  Beside the cauldron stood two old men, with one kneeling beside the cauldron blowing air into it to strengthen the fire. Meanwhile, the other one was topless, exposing his wiry body that was hammering a weapon with an absurdly mas
sive hammer.

  With one controlling the fire and another hammering the weapon, the two old man worked hard to forge the weapon.

  Strange, these two are not weak at all. Why are they forging divine weapon here?

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was caught off guard and after continue to watch for a moment, the old man yielding the hammer lifted the weapon up and examined it carefully before placing it back into the furnace and took it out to be hammered again.

  The emperor continued looking before he interfered, “Dear senior martial brothers, why are you forging a weapon here?”

  The old man blowing wind into the cauldron raised his head and looked at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian with his cloudy eyes as he asked, “Are you the Heavenly Monarch?”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook his head and answered, “Not yet.”

  “Then why are you butting into everything if you’re not?”

  The old man sneered, “Everything beneath the heaven belongs to the Heavenly Monarch. If you are not the Heavenly Monarch, then leave us alone.”

  With that said, the old man redirected his attention back into controlling the fire.

  On the other hand, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was not mad at all and he asked with a smiling face, “I may not be the Heavenly Monarch, but I still have some status within the Zi Wei Galaxy. I don’t think it is rude of me to just ask what you two are doing. What need is there for these two senior martial brothers to be so angry?”

  The old man hammering the weapon stabbed the weapon back into the cauldron and replied in surprise, “How unreasonable. As we forged our weapon, we did not block your path nor occupy your space. Yet without rhyme or reason, you came bothering us. Piss off these two old men and we will smash your brain out from your head!”

  Anger flashed past Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes but he managed to calm himself down and he said calmly, “So it seems like I am the one crossing the line. Pardon me, senior martial brothers.”

  With that, he left while the two old man continued on with their business.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then walked away but the hammering sound continued to ring out load and clear. And although he was still curious, he decided to ignore them. Not long later, another divine light came shooting towards his direction and hammering sound was heard again. The emperor frowned and he noticed that a cauldron was placed somewhere in front of him and there were two old man smithing at the cauldron.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stopped and with divine light flickering in his eyes, he asked calmly, “Why are you blocking my way, senior martial brothers?”

  The old man controlling the fire looked up and asked, “Are you the Heavenly Monarch?”

  “No.” replied Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

  The old man shouted, “Then why are you being such a busybody? Everyone beneath the heaven belongs to the Heavenly Monarch. If you are not the Heavenly Monarch, then leave us alone!”

  This time, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian did not say anything and he sneered as he detoured while the hammerings were heard coming from behind.

  Not long later, from the front came the hammering noise and divine light. The emperor looked up only to see the two same old man forging their weapon in front of him and they were almost done forging.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stopped and after observing for a while, he smirked and left.

  Dang dang dang—-

  The same thing repeated as if nothing had changed but this time, the weapon was almost completed. It was an arrow.

  [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]!

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes blinked as he found out the hammering noises were actually [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]. Each hammering noise was in sync with his footsteps and without him knowing, he was brought into an endless cycle.

  He moved past the two old men again only to run into them time and time again.

  It was as if he were walking in a circle within this dimension, encountering the two old man again and again.

  He no longer stopped and continued forward while he ignored the two old man each time he saw them, all the while increasing his speed.

  After passing by them for the ninth time, the arrow had been completely forged and they put out the fire in the cauldron. One of them carried it on his back and the other carried the hammer but they both stared at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

  The Imperial Emperor then stopped and said with a smile, “Seems like you have completed your weapon, senior martial brothers.”

  “Such a busybody.”

  The old man with the hammer grinned, “This is the territory of the Heavenly Monarch and you just insist on bothering us when we are in his land. Do you fancy yourself as the Heavenly Monarch?”

  The old man controlling the fire said, “You’ve seen how we forged this and stole our technique. We need to destroy one of your eyes for your sins!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian laughed and he stretched his hands towards both sides and said, “Both of you are sent to deal with me by the Heavenly Monarch. I know that clearly so you can’t stop your pretentious acts!”

  “So you’re not completely stupid.”

  The old man exchanged glances and they laughed, “But you definitely have no idea about the secrets behind our smithing! Through the hammering noises, we obtained your cultivation level and this arrow was built from that specifically for you! His Majesty said that you contributed greatly in his empire but you grew greedy and tried to rob him of his throne and land. Hence, we were ordered to bring one of your eyes to His Majesty!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s vision was glued onto the arrow and he asked seriously, “Where did you two come from? How come I have never seen your faces?”

  “You have someone supporting you from the back and you don’t allow his majesty to have his own support?”

  The two old man then took out a divine bow with a thick Dao totem patterns as the bowstring. They rested the newly forged arrow onto the bow and drew it at their target as they mocked, “And after knowing that you’ve gone to see your support, do you think his majesty will stand by and do nothing? Mu Xiantian, give us your eye!”

  Chapter 802: Junior Martial Uncle |

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s heart tightened right after hearing the old man kept on bringing the eye and he thought, Did they know that teacher’s eye is with me right now?

  The first time might be a coincidence, maybe even the second time, but when it came to the third time, these old men definitely knew something!

  The Heavenly Monarch was indeed formidable. He must have an incredible character supporting him, or these two old gods wouldn’t have specifically asked for my eye.

  The two old man drew the bow together and as they pulled the string, the stars within the Zi Wei Galaxy were outshined as light gathered around the two old man before merging into the divine bow!

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was beginning to feel uneasy; this divine bow was an innate divine bow, an innate weapon crafted by an innate god. Judging from the power it displayed right now, this bow was most probably crafted with the innate god’s own flesh and bone or it would not be that strong at all!

  Through the power borrowed from the countless stars in the Zi Wei Galaxy, just how strong was this bow and how much wonder did it contain?

  The stars in the Zi Wei Galaxy all belonged to somebody and there were gods and demons that guarded these stars. Occasionally, there were even sacred grounds that were located within these stars. What kind of item possessed the power to borrow power from these stars?

  Only an innate god that entered the emperor level possessed the ability to control the stellar power!

  The two old man rested the arrow on the bow and they pointed it at the emperor; at this moment, the old blacksmiths finally showed their muscles and their presence was so strong that it could brush the heavens. These two were great presences, each nearing the levels of Imperial Emperor!

  Behind them then came seven Heavens, which looked ju
st like fourteen bright pearls that contained waves and waves of Heavens’ power. With the praying power from the countless living beings within these Heavens, the two old man became bestowed with great power and their body became immensely strong!

  With the 14 Heavens as their weapon and altar, tremendous power towered upon the emperor.

  “Mu Xiantian, if you fail to defend yourself from this arrow, you will die, but if you do manage to survive, you will only lose an eye!”

  The expression on Imperial Emperor Xian Tian changed right away but he still did not conjure any weapons or items. An innate god’s body was his strongest asset and if his body couldn’t even stand against something, then whatever items they could bring out would have no use at all!

  Though he had forged some divine weapons some time ago, none of them possessed the ability to deal with what was before him!

  Chu—

  As the arrow flew out, it tore the galaxy apart while it’s light overwhelmed everything, like billions of suns erupting their energy together. The arrow locked right onto Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!

  With a leap, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian vanished; from the Zi Wei Galaxy to the Void World, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian jumped from one place to another in just the blink of an eye!

  As soon as he disappeared, a loud metal clang could be heard and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was knocked out from the leap.

  After shooting the arrow, the two old men placed the cauldron beside them and they rammed the hammer into the cauldron, creating a loud knock and sealing the dimension with the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], preventing the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian from escaping.

  Meanwhile, with seemingly erratic movements, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian backed off and fled the scene with light speed!

  His movements were absolutely stunning; each step he took contained various wonders and although he was running away, he looked as cool and as elegant as ever!
