Rise of Humanity

  Zhong Yue, however, put on a complicated face and replied, “Even if you didn’t tell him what happened, he will know about it quickly. There are quite a few eyes that belonged to His Majesty’s spies under my command.”

  Mu Suge’s expression changed right away for he was worried that Zhong Yue’s trust in them would be hurt because of this but Zhong Yue calmed the prince, “This is what every lord should do. They should trust their men but not to a very mad extent. Similar to me, there were also spies around Zi Guang so you don’t have to take it too heavily, Your Highness.”

  Mu Suge let out a relieved breath right away and said with a laugh, “Then I will tell my father about what happened exactly.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and opened the door but not before Fu Qizhi approached him and bowed, “Master, halt!”

  Zhong Yue stopped and Fu Qizhi transmitted a message into Zhong Yue’s mind, “Master, I couldn’t help but kneel before Lord Dao Venerate Fu Min just now. If this is reported, I’m afraid that I will hurt your benefits, master …”

  “Don’t worry.”

  Fu Qizhi was stunned and Zhong Yue continued, “Don’t worry about it, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian never trusted you nor the humans of the ancient universe.”

  Coldness devoured Fu Qizhi immediately while Zhong Yue explained, “He only trusted me. He trusted me that I will be able to control you all firmly and this is why he will not do anything to you all even after what you did just now. This is the way to rule someone.”

  Fu Qizhi’s heart thumped and he smiled, “If he is not an enemy, he will be a very wise leader.”

  “Indeed, but shame, he is an enemy.”

  Zhong Yue got out through the gates and that was when he was halted by another person.

  Zhong Yue stopped and turned around, “Creator Zheng Xian, is there anything you need?”

  The one that halted Zhong Yue was the Creator Zheng Xian that guarded the gates. His name was Creator Zheng Xian and after being smacked back into his original form, he was pierced by chains that sealed away his body and Yuan Shen and he was placed here to guard the gates.

  Creator Zheng Xian replied politely and respectfully, “Mister Yi now mastered the prehistoric Dao language, bestowed with great power and your intelligence has earned my respect and admiration. You are one that is bound to achieve even more and you were an innate god in your previous life while I am just one that tried to preserve the status quo of my clan. Smart servants would serve under a wise leader and I’d like to ask if I could become one of your many servants to aid you in your conquest?”

  Zhong Yue glanced at Creator Zheng Xian and with a smirk, he replied, “You’re trying to provoke my relationship with the Imperial Emperor? Who gave you such guts!”

  Hua la—

  The chains that pierced through Creator Zheng Xian dragged him into the Star River and Creator Zheng Xian shrieked right away as soon as he touched the water.

  Zhong Yue’s psyche moved and again, the chains dragged him out and Creator Zheng Xian laid there powerlessly and panted while fear built up in him.

  Zhong Yue let out a cold humphed and he questioned the Pao Xi Demon Race’s Creator standing on the other side of the gates, “Are you not going to lower the drawbridge?”

  A man in white robes then walked towards Zhong Yue on the drawbridge and Zhong Yue immediately walked towards the man. As Feng Xiaozhong walked on the bridge towards Zhong Yue, he was also examining the structures around him and interest began building up.

  “There are a lot of totem patterns hidden in the air and any intrusion will immediately detonate these totem patterns and cause an explosion within the river. This is really a place where it’s easy to defend but difficult to conquer.”

  Feng Xiaozhong praised and he asked, “That Creator wanted to surrender to you but why did you throw him into the river?”

  Zhong Yue got up to the castle wall with Feng Xiaozhong and he replied, “He underestimated me and thought he could provoke me with just words. Of course I had to punish him.”

  Feng Xiaozhong’s confusion was not cleared and Zhong Yue continued, “He’s a man under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian but he did not think that I’ve seen through his cover on the very first day I met him. I may have captured the Creators around Heaven Suppressing Palace but at the same time, I also know that they were from different races. Hence, I’ve been netting the Karmic Lines to identify the power they represented and came from and Creator Zheng Xian is under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. He is a loyal one and he is definitely sent here by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. By throwing him into the Heavenly River, not only will I show my loyalty, but I will also be able to punish him.”

  The two then walked out from the Star Gates before the King’s Palace before Feng Xiaozhong rebutted, “Junior martial brother, your focus is occupied by many things and this is slowing down your improvements in researching and pursuing the Dao! You should come with me and together, we will study the secrets hidden throughout the universe. This is what a true Qi Practitioner should be doing!”

  Zhong Yue however, shook and answered, “What’s the point of pursuing the Dao if the world is not in peace?”

  Their concepts and ideas clashed and they found it difficult to convince each other, hence, they stopped dwelling on this topic while Zhong Yue led the way to the ancient ship. Compared to how it looked after being dragged out from the river, this ancient ship was entirely different; now, it was extremely new and shiny and there was even a dragon head at the bow, which belonged to Shi Long.

  The hole on the ship was also gone, as if the ship was entirely reforged.

  And that was the wonder of the “Fu Sheng” Dao language.

  Feng Xiaozhong examined the ship and madness starting to seep into him again; this was the madness one felt upon seeing something he very much desired, the madness of pursuing the Dao and the madness that caused someone to ignore everything but his target!

  “Darling, this is that senior martial brother you spoke to me about?”

  Yin Fanxuan flew out from the deck and greeted Feng Xiaozhong, who looked at her after he stunned for a split second.

  Yin Fanxuan however, felt that there was nothing in those pair of eyes apart from that desire of pursuing the Dao. His gaze was extremely uncomfortable for Yin Fanxuan as she felt that all her secrets were laid bare before his eyes.

  Feng Xiaozhong then turned away and continued examining the ship. If it were back then, Feng Xiaozhong would definitely be more attracted to researching the Innate Saint Spirit Body. But now, Yin Fanxuan’s Innate Saint Spirit Body was not as attractive as the ship.

  “Darling, your senior martial brother is really weird….” whispered Yin Fanxuan.

  “I know, and I’ve known this since a long time ago. I will become very weird later on as well so I thought I should warn you beforehand. Senior martial brother, are you ready?”

  “Of course.”

  The two then created countless incarnations and the many Feng Xiaozhong and Zhong Yue filled up the entire ship, all started discussing with one another in groups as they started studying the secrets of the ancient ship.

  Yin Fanxuan looked at this scene for quite some time before she finally felt jealousy sparkled in her, He is more intimate with his senior martial brother as compared to me!

  Chapter 900: Innate Flesh Wings |

  Zhong Yue lost himself in his thirst for the prehistoric cultivation system. Right now, he appeared no different to Feng Xiaozhong, his usual composure was nowhere to be seen, only to be replaced a mania that was unbecoming of his usual character. What was left of him now was a Dao seeker.

  When he was at this pace, only a certain madman could resonate with him. Only Feng Xiaozhong could research and study the cultivation of Dao with him, only he could link with Zhong Yue in a discussion of Dao.

  The cooperation between them was so perfect that even Yin Fanxuan couldn’t help but get jealous of them.

  Being jealous of her husband’s relationship with another man
was truly a bizarre feeling to her.

  “The patterns are not any similar to the current cultivation system. Knowledge of the totem patterns alone won’t bring us enough understanding to study it.”

  “Thus, I plan to start from the innate godly language and activate the wings of this ancient ship with the innate gods’ Dao language, to study the relationship between the chants and the effects. However, I slipped and caused a strange thing to happen.”

  “Which word was it? In what way did you present it?”

  “The word ‘Yu’ of the innate godly language. Senior martial brother, listen as I speak it…”

  “I see. The innate godly language’s ‘Yu’ also means the universe’s space, it’s the Space Dao. About this, the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] contained a profound explanation to its abstrusity. Last time you taught me the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], now I’ll let you listen to the innate godly language of the Space Dao that has resulted from it….”

  “It’s possible?”

  “Of course it is. All those ever known in this universe, including itself, are the representations and manifestations of the Dao. Cultivation levels exist only due to the degree of one’s understanding of the Dao. This is the true nature of those anchors that restrict the cultivators’ achievements. But when you remain a pure and unphased heart and keep your mind free of distracting thoughts; you will cross past all and reach the truest nature of everything. Whether it be the Daos belonging to the ancient innate gods or the postnate living creatures, they are just the same thing.”

  “However, the Daos are hidden deep within these patterns, it’ll not be easy to bring them into the light.”

  “But with the difficulties come the motivation! Our way now is to first understand the patterns on this ancient ship and translate them into the current system of Dao totem patterns. I’ll research them, and you run the calculations. We’ll translate them into the Dao totem patterns, understand and retranslate them back to the ancient innate god’s cultivation system, the ancient god’s Daos. That way, we’ll be able to grasp their cultivation system.”

  …

  Yin Fanxuan was speechless when she looked at the countless Zhong Yue and Feng Xiaozhong moving around the ship like busy bees and ants. They had their own duties, and communicating with one another with their psyches from time to time; both were in an agitated state of excitement.

  Zhong Yue was now much stronger than before, able to sustain 400 thousand incarnations at one time, this was already his limit. Yet, Feng Xiaozhong’s incarnations numbered a total of 2 million.

  Adding these together, these 2.4 million incarnations were like the gears of an incredible machine of two cores. Everything these 2.4 million incarnations found will be transmitted back to the cores and the cores will communicate with each other through their psyches.

  The collaboration between them is so tight that there was no room for me to intervene at all… Yin Fanxuan was feeling letdown as she who was an Innate Saint Spirit Body couldn’t even help with a single thing at all.

  A dozen days went by before they finally bumped into an irresolvable difficulty. Among them, one was strong in picking the minutest details and the other strong in calculations. Together, they had cracked more than 70 percent of the innate flesh wings’ abstrusities. But now, they came across a question that even they couldn’t understand.

  “Sister-in-law, come,” Feng Xiaozhong waved his hand at her as a smile barely managed to crack on the madman’s face.

  Yin Fanxuan walked up to him while Feng Xiaozhong smiled, even though everyone could see how much he was forcing himself to smile. He said, “You are an Innate Saint Spirit Body, right? I’ve been trying of kidnapping one of those for a long time. It’s unfortunate that I’ve yet to come across one. I’ve also been to the graves and tombs of those who were told to once be the Innate Saint Spirit Bodies. But to my disappointment, they were all phonies… Sister-in-law, your hand please.”

  Yin Fanxuan lifted up her hand while Feng Xiaozhong gently wiped across her palm. Yin Fanxuan yelled softly in pain and shock to find that a wound was cut open with blood seeping out from it.

  Whilst still in shock and anger with no clue of what Feng Xiaozhong was trying to achieve, the latter took taken out a jade bottle and collected the blood flowing out from the wound.

  Immediately, Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief and whispered to her, “You are finally safe now.”

  Yin Fanxuan’s cut wound was healed in just an instant and she whispered back, “This senior martial brother of yours doesn’t seem to be mentally stable… Furthermore, you seemed to be abnormally afraid of him! The Fuxi who fears no heaven and earth, but you are actually afraid of a man?”

  Zhong Yue gave a sneer, “When I was still young, he was my greatest source of fear. I’ve been constantly worrying about him losing his mind and snatching me away to dissect me into pieces and research my body and Yuan Shen… Don’t you worry, now that he has collected your blood, he won’t snatch and dissect your body.”

  Yin Fanxuan was between laughter and tears.

  Feng Xiaozhong kept the jade bottle and his psyche rippled, imparting her with the [One Fission Mystic Art]. He said, “Junior martial brother and I have been studying it long enough and now we’ve run into a problem that none of us can resolve. Sister-in-law, you are an Innate Saint Spirit Body, I’ve heard that those like you have a special ability to comprehend things. As such, we need your help. How long do you need to take cultivate this art?”

  Yin Fanxuan briefly ran through the [One Fission Mystic Art] and replied, “Ten days will be enough. Five for learning the art, five for cultivating the incarnations.”

  Feng Xiaozhong looked at Zhong Yue and said, “So much faster than you before.”

  Zhong Yue nodded helplessly. Back then, he spent more than a month to fully grasp the art, then six days cultivating the incarnations in his Six Paths Reincarnations Secret Realms. It was only after he had cultivated a hundred thousand incarnations that he was able to heighten his abilities beyond Tian Si’s.

  Yet in stark contrast, Yin Fanxuan would use only ten days for it. One could clearly tell how talented she was.

  “Fanxuan, there are two things you need to know about this art.” Zhong Yue quietly psyched and said, “One, it’d be very, very painful; Two, the more incarnations you cultivate, the harder it is to control. A hundred thousand incarnations will magnify your thoughts by a hundred thousand times!”

  Yin Fanxuan stiffened her heart and she recalled back to when they first met on the Heavenly River. Zhong Yue’s incarnations were acting strangely on the ship, they were shouting for coitus and yelling to conquer the universe.

  I have the [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressive Intonation], it can help me suppress the pain. But the incarnations… I won’t be able to suppress all of them, She was worrying.

  Five days later, she had mastered the [One Fission Mystic Art] and was already fissioning out incarnations of herself, using her own Six Paths Secret Realms to nurture them.

  Even though she was warned beforehand and was readied for it, the pain and agony that hit her atman itself was beyond her imagination. Even with her [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressive Intonation], she could still feel the immense pain that almost overwhelmed her heart and mind. When the hundred-thousandth incarnation was fissioned out of her, she couldn’t bear any longer and had to stop.

  Another five days passed, Yin Fanxuan had successfully cultivated the hundred thousand incarnations. With a thought, she released all of them out into the real world.

  “Who said women are not better than men?” One of her shouted, “Woman can also be rulers! All of those who desire to show the women’s strength, follow me and we’ll conquer this universe!”

  “I know a place, there is a garden there, filled with gracefully blossoming flowers. Let’s go to play there!”

  “I heard that the Heaven Girls of the Heaven Court weaves beautiful clothes…”
/>
  “None shall defeat me!”

  “Dear, such a calming environment, why do we have to waste the day doing nothing?” One of the Yin Fanxuan curled on Zhong Yue’s neck and chuckled, “Why don’t we spend the whole day and night in a room?”

  “I’ll not marry a man, so shy!”

  “Can lady and lady give birth?”

  “So many me but only one husband, is this the time where we fight internally? Hehe, I’ll poison all of you to death!”

  …

  Yin Fanxuan blushed shamefully and quickly returned those that were unstable. She furtively glanced at Zhong Yue who looked as though he was smiling and he said, “Don’t worry about it. Small thoughts, big thoughts, all are yours. As long as your Dao heart is firm, you’ll be fine. I was much worse than you when I first did it.”

  Yin Fanxuan was still a little ashamed and suddenly, Feng Xiaozhong’s voice could be heard saying, “The two of you, stop flirting and come help me. Our progress has been stopped for ten days!”

  Zhong Yue’s and Yin Fanxuan’s incarnations were quickly took action. With the Innate Saint Spirit Body Yin Fanxuan’s close affinity to the Dao and highly talented fast learning ability, their progress greatly boosted.

  And finally, after half a year’s of hard work, they were able to resolve the most difficult obstacle of the innate flesh wings. With a change of thought, Zhong Yue surged out countless Space totem patterns, waltzing in the air and formed into a pair of wings. It was the innate flesh wings of the ancient god who controlled the Space Dao!

  The complex totem patterns on the wings were still changing. The totem patterns were devouring one another, combining together into a single object—an innate Dao!

  In this pair of wings, there were no more totem patterns left but only a pure innate Dao!

  With the three working together, they finally understood the innate flesh wings of this ancient ship!

  Zhong Yue flapped the wings, and a vague sensation rushed into his mind, feeling as though he had become the sole master of space. That with just a flap of wings, he could shuttle through space and reach wherever he desired!
