Rise of Humanity

  “Your name is now Cai Wei and I am Cai Yun. We are both Goddess Queen Monarch’s court ladies and will be heading to Bi Luo Palace to check on Tian Yi under orders.”

  Si Ming started walking forward and she warned softly, “Be very careful, make no mistake!”

  Zhong Yue followed behind her as they headed to their destination, Bi Luo Palace, which floated high above the reach of Heaven Court’s. After quite some time of walking, they finally arrived at the palace. From their view, Bi Luo Palace was not within the reach of both heaven and earth, underneath it was an eerie abyss. Within the abyss was seemingly a massive tornado that twisted even time and space. The tornado was just like the mouth of abyss, eager to devour anything and the abyss was in absolute darkness but occasionally, thunder and lightning roared and they lit up the abyss for a split second.

  “That abyss down there is the Heavenly Prison that suppresses endless dangerous and horrifying individuals. Each of them was nothing less than Fu Shang.”

  A message from Si Ming entered Zhong Yue’s mind as she explained.

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue saw chains flying out from the abyss, chained onto the hooks below Bi Luo Palace’s bottom.

  And there were also chains that connected Bi Luo Palace and the Heaven Court, which seemed like bridges.

  Zhong Yue and Si Ming slowly moved towards the chains and all in a sudden, Zhong Yue’s heart tightned as he spotted a young man walking out of the palace.

  Feng Wuji! This is bad!

  Chapter 941: Secrets of Bi Luo Palace |

  On the chains, Feng Wuji sniffed and he was surprised by what he found.

  “What is Mister Wuji sniffing at?” asked the divine general that was walking Feng Wuji out of the palace.

  Hearing this, Feng Wuji stopped sniffing around and replied, “I smelled a familiar scent, Mister Yi from the Xian Tian Palace. Strange, why is he here in the Heaven Court?”

  “Ah, I see. Shutting yourself in Bi Luo Palace for cultivation has cut you off from the outside world. His Majesty is organizing a massive birthday celebration for himself and Mister Yi from Xian Tian Palace is one of the many invited guests. He really is impressive. Just as he arrived, he already triggered the 24 monarch weapons’ rampage and almost flipped the entire Heaven Court upside down!”

  Feng Wuji smirked, “This fool is indeed courageous! Why did the Heavenly Monarch not execute him?”

  As they were walking toward the Heaven Court, the general laughed, “With Imperial Emperor Xian Tian here with him, who dares to harm him? Besides, this Mister Yi is also very strong. In less than a day, he sits firmly at the top of the Heavenly Deity level Board of Saint, shocking the Heaven Court. He even wanted to create a board for the future monarchs with the other gods!”

  “Is he trying to start a rebellion!”

  Feng Wuji’s expression changed as he shouted, “And the Heavenly Monarch still didn’t kill him? I don’t think that even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian himself would allow this, let alone Heavenly Monarch! He is crossing the line! As a mere human, he actually wants to decide the ranking for the future monarchs? Does he have no shame?”

  By now, the two were already on the end of the chain and the divine general said again, “But this Mister Yi does have something up in his sleeves. Somehow, he killed King Shen Wuwei’s three favorite children, but just as King Shen Wuwei wanted to get his revenge, the Yinkang Clan stopped King Shen Wuwei. Then, the arrival of Celestial Monarch Jin Wu and Demon Monarch Yang Hou from the ancient universe also kept King Shen Wuwei busy.”

  Feng Wuji’s eyes widened, and after a moment, he let out a long breath, “This fool is really lucky to be alive until now. Hmmm, why is Goddess Queen Monarch’s court ladies here?”

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue and Si Ming were at the chains and Feng Wuji examined the two “ladies” with great interest; now, Zhong Yue had already concealed everything that could potentially expose him, including his scent. Through the court lady’s uniform given to him by Si Ming, he managed to keep his disguise well protected and he immediately scowled, “What are you looking at! Look again and I will gouge your eyes out!”

  The divine general who was standing beside Feng Wuji immediately shouted, “Watch how you speak! This is the Heaven’s Tomb Suppressor Great General Tu Yu’s disciple, Feng Wuji, Mister Wuji!”

  “It’s Xiao Wuji,” smiled Feng Wuji.

  “Yes, Xiao Wuji, Mister Xiao Wuji.” corrected the divine general right away.

  Feng Wuji nodded lightly, “But it’s fine if Goddess Queen Monarch’s court ladies don’t recognize me. Speaking of which, we are also the same…. Hahaha!”

  The divine general then watched as Feng Wuji walked away and he turned around towards Zhong Yue and Si Ming while he asked, “Your purpose here today, court ladies?”

  Si Ming replied, “To check on the Heaven Empyrean’s will under Goddess Queen Monarch’s order. This is the token and her order scrolls.”

  The divine general took the two objects and examined them carefully before slightly nodding, “This way please, court ladies.”

  He then led them up to the chains and headed straight to Bi Luo Palace, “Why did Goddess Queen Monarch want to check on Tian Yi?”

  “Because she is worried that His Majesty….” said Zhong Yue.

  “Quiet! You shall speak nothing more than that!” shouted Si Ming.

  Zhong Yue immediately shut his mouth and looked at Si Ming with fear in his eyes and a shivering body.

  The divine general nodded and laughed, “I suppose this is something the entire world knows. Goddess Queen Monarch is probably worried if His Majesty was still Heaven’s choice so she wanted both of you to check on it.”

  Si Ming replied, “And this, this is something not we can question.”

  The divine general nodded, taking the token and sending it up into the air to match with the stars in the skies before returning it to them, “The token is also real.”

  Zhong Yue kept the token away and asked, “Who is that Mister Wuji just now? Why is he here?”

  The divine general explained, “Mister Wuji’s teacher is Tu Yu, is an innate god and a friend of my master. He sent a letter to my master requesting him to take care of Mister Wuji, hence, my master bestowed him with some gifts, allowed him to cultivate here to advance into a True Deity. Court ladies, this is as far as I can escort you. Upon entering the palace, there will be someone else to escort you and to check on your identities.”

  Zhong Yue and Si Ming entered Bi Luo Palace before Si Ming snuck something into Zhong Yue’s hand. When Zhong Yue took a look at it, it was a tiny paper man.

  “Court ladies, a moment please.”

  As soon as they entered Bi Luo Palace, a female divine general stopped them and requested, “Please stand before this mirror so that we can check your identities.”

  Zhong Yue looked towards the mirror that was about a man’s height and Chaos Qi flowed within the mirror.

  Si Ming was the first one to stand before the mirror, and when the Chaos QI moved around, a nine-headed and serpent bodied Xiang Liu appeared.

  The female divine general then nodded at Zhong Yue, signaling him to walk forward. After some changes, what appeared in the mirror was Cai Wei.

  “This way please,” said the female divine general politely.

  Not long later, another strange-looking celestial beast stopped them; it had a lion’s body, the head of a maggot, no eyes, no ears, no nose but only a mouth filled with barbed like teeth, “Halt, let me check your blood.”

  Si Ming reached her hand out, allowing the beast to bite onto her arm. As it chewed, it said, “It’s the Xiang Liu’s blood.”

  Zhong Yue walked up and the beast repeated the same process, “You may both pass now.”

  The two then continued forward, passing through a few compounds before finally arriving at a jade platform where a half celestial half beast creature lay. Then, it shouted, “Let me check your Yuan Shen.”

  Zhong Yue and Si Ming stopped and on the other
hand, the eyeball in the creature’s only eye flew out and floated before them. With a light noise, six halos launched out from the eye, shrouding the two of them before flying back into the creature’s eye socket.

  “You may proceed now,” said the creature.

  Zhong Yue and Si Ming continued forward, where they were met with countless doors With only a few steps, there would be a door and these doors were all guarded by a muscular god with a hundred arms, “One door, one life, come and check on your every lives’ bodies!”

  One on the front and another on the bad, Zhong Yue and Si Ming entered the doors which contained Six Paths Reincarnation within them. These doors could trace someone right back into the person’s history. If this person had never been reborn, he or she would still be the same person before entering the door, but once reborn even once, their previous appearance would be revealed by the doors.

  After moving in and out of the many doors, the hundred-arm god nodded, “You can go now.”

  Finally, after passing the many securities, Zhong Yue’s jaws dropped as he said speechlessly, “There are so many layers of security here! It’s so much stricter than the Heaven Court!”

  Seeing how beautiful Zhong Yue was, the hundred-arm god had a very good impression on Zhong Yue so he explained, “Jut for you to know, our Bi Luo Palace contains endless heaven and earth-shaking secrets and treasures. It will be a great loss if someone manages to sneak in and steal them. The Heavenly Prison right beneath us, is even stricter than we Bi Luo Palace. Not long ago, a Fuxi managed to sneak in and stir up great trouble for us. Now that the techniques and skills are getting more and more fancy and mysterious, you can’t blame us for being so careful.”

  “Things must have been difficult.”

  Si Ming handed over a high grade jade to the god and said, “We sisters are new to this palace. We are worried that we would walk into places we should not be, so could you please guide us?”

  The god looked around and after seeing no one around, he secretly kept away the jade and smiled, “Okay. There are barely any guests visiting the palace, and given how free we are because of this, I suppose I wouldn’t mind guiding both of you. However, you must not wander around recklessly because you’d be better off dead if you accidentally trigger the traps around.”

  He then led the way while Zhong Yue and Si Ming followed behind closely. The god continued saying, “There are seals everywhere, apart from the seals planted down by the monarchs, there are also some that were personally created by Mister Bi Luo himself. By the way, what you wanted to see is a Heavenly Dao divine weapon gifted to Mister Bi Luo by Heaven. This is an impressive weapon that can reveal Heaven’s will.”

  They slowly entered the depths of the palace and suddenly, Zhong Yue’s body trembled for a second upon seeing an ancient sacred ground lying before them. One after another, chaos stars circled around the continent, turning the place into a Dao World.

  Chaos lightning rampaged, striking onto the ground, formed a natural barrier and there was only one path into that place, which was through the floating bridge. The chaos stars were unable to get close to the bridge and there was a stone statue that guarded it. Without any sign, the stone statue suddenly moved, revealing its four arms, each with an eyeball in the palm and cut off the trio’s path.

  “This is the innate mountain god that was produced under countless years of worshipping from the Shan Shen Clan. Mister Bi Luo had him stationed here to guard this place.”

  The hundred-arm god laughed, “Mountain god, these two are Goddess Queen Monarch’s court ladies, they are here to check on the Heaven Empyrean’s will under Goddess Queen Monarch’s order.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart tightened, An innate mountain god birthed by years of worshipping?

  There was actually such an innate god hidden right within the Bi Luo Palace?

  Why did he not guard the Shan Shen Clan but this floating bridge?

  This mountain god was only a Deity Emperor. He was not that strong yet for innate gods like him that were birthed from worshipping were in great disadvantage in cultivation, which greatly restricted how much they could achieve.

  However, being an innate god was more than that as they were always many times stronger than prenate gods!

  With a rumbling voice the innate mountain god asked, “Have they been cleared?”

  “Of course, or I wouldn’t even bring them here.” said the hundred-arm god.

  The mountain god then stepped aside, allowing the three to step onto the bridge. Not long later, they were already at the other end of the floating bridge. In the ancient sacred ground was also another god. But this time, it was an innate feather god, an innate god birthed from the Yu Ren Clan’s worship!

  Similar to the innate god before, this innate god’s cultivation was also not that strong.

  This time, with the hundred-arm god with them, this innate feather god did not ask much and immediately allowed them to pass.

  Two innate gods!

  Zhong Yue’s heart pumped quickly; this was definitely a dangerous place. Even if they managed to steal the Six Paths Tian Lun, they wouldn’t be able to walk out alive!

  “There are about 800 innate celestial and demonic gods living here.”

  The hundred-arm god who was leading the way laughed, “There are many races in this world and some of them existed long before the Fire Order Era. After years of worshipping, there are now many innate gods. Apart from keeping an eye on the Heaven’s Son, the other reasons our Bi Luo Palace created Tian Yi were to supervise the universe’s operation and gather these innate gods here.”

  Chapter 942: Destroying Tian Yi |

  800 innate gods?

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he felt a little dizzy; 800 innate gods in this ancient sacred ground, just how powerful was this faction! Is Mister Bi Luo trying to bring the Dark Age back?

  “They are the power that serves Heaven.”

  The hundred-arm god laughed, “If the universe plunged into chaos, the Bi Luo Palace’s power will always be strong enough to suppress the war. With them here, no chaos will be able to shake heaven and earth’s absolute power!”

  Zhong Yue kept quiet; Bi Luo Palace was the representative of “Heaven” in Zi Wei Galaxy and no one would’ve thought that they would possess such enormous strength, a power beyond imagination!

  With that kind of power, even if the war for the throne were even more intense and chaotic, they would still have sufficient strength to suppress the flames of war.

  Hence, no matter who became the next Heavenly Monarch, they would still remain beholden to Heaven.

  The sons of Heaven!

  This “Heaven” is hopelessly strong….

  Zhong Yue thought.

  Si Ming looked around and saw one after another either magnificent, ancient, simple or unique palaces, cottages and other compounds. These buildings were all built within the incredibly ancient sacred ground, which all seemed to the shelter of the innate gods living in Bi Luo Palace.

  Without seeing it for himself, who would’ve expected that such a massive force was hidden well within this extremely dull-looking Bi Luo Palace?

  “If both of you want to take a look at the Tian Yi, you would have to go to the most ancient palace, The Palace of Origin.”

  The hundred-arm god led the way as he said, “Tian Yi is just over there and it is located in the most secure palace. There are a lot of treasures there!”

  Si Ming immediately exclaimed in awe, “Senior martial brother, can you please tell us what is inside there? Let us widen our vision!”

  The hundred-arm god replied happily, “Being able to follow Goddess Queen Monarch around, both sisters definitely have seen countless treasures and weapons. I believe you both possess numerous precious items for yourself. However, those were all merely items from the outside. When compared to our precious items, they are nothing more like stones trying to compete with diamonds. The first and most precious item in Bi Luo Palace is, of course, Tian Yi that knows
everything, it is an innate Heavenly Dao divine weapon!”

  Zhong Yue could feel little shiny stars appearing in his eyes and he quickly said, “Then the second?”

  “The second is the Tian Fa, also another Heavenly Dao divine weapon, a weapon that represented Heaven’s judgement and the Heaven’s might! This weapon is capable of punishing even the Heavenly Monarch, banishing him away from his status as Heaven’s son!”

  The hundred-arm god laughed, “This weapon is incredibly powerful. During Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s era, when the many monarchs fought for the throne, they brought great chaos onto the world but in the end, Tian Yuan triumph and rose as the new ruler. He conquered the whole world but refused to make himself Heaven’s son. Hence, with the divine weapon Tian Fa in his hand, Bi Luo went after him. Heh, Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan definitely did not feel good by then…. The current Heavenly Monarch… Ehem, enough said.”

  Zhong Yue and Si Ming exchanged glances and this time, he no longer purposely tried to look excited and happy as he was really happy as stars started popping out in his eyes!

  Tian Fa that punished even the Heavenly Monarch, an exotic of the Heavenly Dao!

  Thinking of it just made Zhong Yue wanted to steal it and claim it for himself!

  “What about the third one?” asked Zhong Yue instantly.

  “The third one is also incredibly astonishing. It is called the Six Paths Tian Lun, an important weapon that was left behind by the final Fuxi Heavenly Monarch.”

  The god replied arrogantly, “This is a weapon that controls the Heavens. In Earth Order Era, when the Fuxi ruled the world, their reign was rock solid but no matter how indestructible and how strong a fortress was, it will always crumble from the inside. The Fuxi that controlled this weapon surrendered to Heaven and presented Heaven this weapon, and with that, the destruction of Fuxi Celestial Race’s control over the world. However, this weapon is a strange one. Mister Bi Luo studied it for a very long time but how to unleash its power was still unknown, hence, it is only ranked third among them.”
