Rise of Humanity

  A vast knowledge, great understanding towards Daos and on top of that, the affinity towards Daos were required for this!

  “This is something only the Innate Saint Spirit Body can cultivate!” shouted the shocked Zhong Yue.

  Feng Xiaozhong nodded, “After obtaining some blood from sister-in-law, I did some research and came up with this [Dao Worshipping Technique]. You can teach it to her and take it as a little compensation for her.”

  Zhong Yue then remembered that Feng Xiaozhong once cut a wound on Yin Fanxuan’s hand when he met her, taking some blood away for research. Back then, Zhong Yue even comforted Yin Fanxuan about this and said that it was alright.

  Who would’ve thought that Feng Xiaozhong had created an extraordinary art from the research on Yin Fanxuan’s blood!

  In Zhong Yue’s hands, the [Dao Worshipping Technique] would not shine at all, but if it was used by Yin Fanxuan, the [Dao Worshipping Technique] would unleash incredible power!

  The Innate Saint Spirit Body’s powerful affinity towards Daos would be pushed to the peak by [Dao Worshipping Technique] and in turn, bestow Yin Fanxuan with insane power!

  Only by giving out some blood, Fanxuan had obtained herself with something magnificent like this! It was definitely worth it!

  Zhong Yue was feeling happy for Yin Fanxuan right now.

  Then, Zhong Yue and Feng Xiaozhong’s countless incarnations entered the cage locking Feng Qingyu, walked onto and dived into Feng Qingyu’s body and even Daos, drilled into his Yuan Shen, secret realm, turn into dusts that seeped into his brain, psyche ocean to study all of his secrets and totem patterns.

  Meanwhile, Feng Xiaozhong had already passed the 17 monarch level arts he retrieved to Zhong Yue and among them, there were already some that Xin Huo had obtained. But there were more of those arts that Xin Huo had yet to come across with.

  Zhong Yue then activated the [Innate Eight Trigrams] and went through these arts with his calculatory technique before going through the unsolved Dao totems in Feng Qingyu.

  Feng Xiaozhong’s eyes lit up upon seeing Zhong Yue’s [Innate Tai Chi] and [Innate Eight Trigrams] and gaze coming from the zealous Feng Xiaozhong immediately had Zhong Yue all tensed up, prompting him to offer, “Senior martial brother, if you are interested in them, I can teach them to you without holding back!”

  “Boring!”

  The disinterested Feng Xiaozhong immediately turned him down, “Why are you so boring? Don’t you know that there is more fun in exploring than being taught? Besides, I’d be able to understand it more if I researched it.”

  Zhong Yue, however, taught the [Innate Eight Trigrams] to Feng Xiaozhong still and Feng Xiaozhong shook his head after going through it, “Junior martial brother, you and I have walked towards a different path where mine is easier than yours. Your seventh wheel is the Space Secret Realm and the eighth is the Time Secret Realm, uniting both the dimension and time, which is also almost impossible. Your [Innate Eight Trigrams] will only become a reference to me. There is no way I could cultivate it.”

  At this point, their paths towards Daos had indeed diverged, no longer heading towards the same direction.

  Feng Xiaozhong had developed the Cosmic Secret Realm, making it the extension of Six Paths Reincarnation and creating the Seven Paths Reincarnation. Whereas for Zhong Yue, the Space Secret Realm he created was not an extension of the Six Paths Reincarnation, making it even harder to create the Seven Paths Reincarnation.

  “Perhaps, this is a path more suitable for you, not me,” added Feng Xiaozhong.

  After that, the duo continued on researching Feng Qingyu.

  Time flew and two months passed since then, but with their almighty intelligence, the 17 monarch level ultimate arts were all replicated by the two of them.

  However, these arts were incomplete as they were not perfected and there were many parts in them that were missing.

  If they wanted to obtain the perfect art, they would have to pray towards these 17 Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarchs for their spirits to descend and bestow them with the complete arts. Unfortunately, as what Fu Qizhi said, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarchs’ spirit were all constrained to the Void World, unable to descend to the world under watchful eyes. These worshippers would be smited into dust immediately by the enemies.

  Among the Fuxi monarchs’ spirit, the only one that could descend into the world was probably Monarch Hao Yi who created the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]. He was the only one that cultivated both the Space Dao and Time Dao to the peak. Only he was able to breach through the enemies’ sealings.

  However, Zhong Yue had received the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], the teachings from Monarch Hao Yi when the monarch’s spirit descended in the imperial tomb by spending his own power source, which would writhe his spirit even quicker, hence, there was no way Zhong Yue would try to summon Monarch Hao Yi.

  So the only way to get the complete heritage was to go and meet the monarchs’ spirit on my own in the Void World. If Monarch Hao Yi could do it after cultivating the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] to the peak, then so can I!

  Zhong Yue’s eyes blinked, But it is impossible at this moment. These 17 ultimate arts would be sufficient for now and Fu Li’s deadly weakness in his seventh spine vertebrae can now be eliminated.

  Among the 17 arts were also Monarch Da Yao’s [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture], and Lady Monarch Yin Qiang’s [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture], which was the one Zhong Yue desperately sought for.

  Together, these two arts would be able to combine the spine and the Fuxi serpent tail together into an even powerful art.

  Once these two arts were merged, Zhong Yue would experience a massive hike in his strength and he would become even stronger!

  “Now that we are done researching, what should we do with this guy?” asked Feng Xiaozhong.

  Fear stalked Feng Qingyu immediately and the man quickly shouted, “I surrender!”

  “How can I possibly let you live after the cruelty you’ve committed against my people.”

  Zhong Yue raised his saber up high with a cold stare, swing it downwards, decimating Feng Qingyu’s life along with his Yuan Shen and soul.

  After that, Zhong Yue kept quiet for a while as the punishment served was considerably too light compared to what Feng Qingyu created but Zhong Yue felt a little bit better after Feng Qingyu was tortured by Feng Xiaozhong’s research for almost two hundred years.

  “Junior martial brother, you are going to leave now?”

  Before Ling Yu Palace, Feng Xiaozhong was a little saddened and he said, “With our strength, the efficiency of our research is increased by several folds. If we can calculate and recreate the 17 monarch level arts, what else can we not achieve? Stay here and we will seek for the Daos together.”

  Feng Xiaozhong did not take Zhong Yue as a normal friend, but a fellow Daoist that he wanted eagerly so that he would not be lonely on the path towards seeking Daos.

  “Senior martial brother, you need a quiet place for your research and right now, this world is no longer at peace. The flames of war has spread through every corner of this universe. I will be fighting for a peaceful place for you outside.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “No one is paying attention to you right now, but sooner or later, the enemies of the Fuxi Celestial Race will fix their sights onto you. Once they discover you, they will do everything they can to kill you. Because of this, you might even have to join forces with me against these enemies in search for a peaceful and quiet place for your research. You are, after all, someone that once walked the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch.”

  “Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch?”

  Feng Xiaozhong’s expression changed slightly and after a quick silence, he said, “If that’s the case, then I shall not hold you any longer. However, if you have the time, you have to walk the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch another
time because there should be …”

  He frowned and continued, “There should be something you need there.”

  Zhong Yue was stunned for a second and after a nod, he took off and returned only a few seconds later as he informed Feng Xiaozhong about something.

  “I once heard an innate god explaining of five ways to achieve immortality. There are little chances in the first four ways but the fifth way was different, which requires the postnate living beings to ascend as a Dao God and I think this information might be some help to you.”

  Zhong Yue then repeated what he learnt from the innate god, “Mister Bi Luo said that in order to become a Dao God, postnate living beings first have to shed away the Postnatal Mortal Body, the Dirt Body, Karmic Body, and Dao Body; which I find very reasonable.”

  Feng Xiaozhong was astounded by this information and after completely absorbing this information, he sighed, “This is indeed very helpful. Junior martial brother, you are walking around outside and at the same time, you have gained a lot of things out of my reach. Perhaps, I will have to get out from the Ling Yu Palace and take a look at this world alongside with you.”

  The two then bowed at each other and Zhong Yue bade farewell seconds later.

  Feng Xiaozhong’s vision traced after Zhong Yue as the young man left and he later on examined the Quasi-Star Region as he thought, This world is so huge but my Ling Yu Palace might not be able to fit in…. This chaotic war will soon spread to this place and when that day comes, I will have to head out, see the world for myself and wash away the rustiness in me.

  After leaving Ling Yu Palace, Zhong Yue released Hundun Yu from his Yuan Shen secret realms before the two slowly headed towards the Heaven Suppression Fortress. The Heaven Suppression Fortress was very far away and even after becoming a True Deity, Zhong Yue was also exhausted after traveling for a long time. After depleting his stamina and energy, he stopped for a rest and continued the journey a few days later.

  A large scale war had swept through the entire universe and wherever he passed, he saw only the flames of war.

  Every living being was a victim of this war, merely sacrifices to this universe; even the monarch level existences were all sacrifice as well.

  The world was unjust and so was the Heavenly Monarch.

  Throughout his journey, Zhong Yue saw lives struggling midst of fire and water, countless families shattered by the war and living beings burnt by the flames of war.

  He also saw pitiness grew within his heart and that was his pity towards the tragic faced by these people from all races.

  His mentality has reached the level of a monarch, granting him the capability to have full control over his mentality; every movements, thoughts were all crystal clear and they were all well organized.

  If I stubbornly let this pitiness grow stronger, I would turn into another Fu Shang, becoming one that pitied the other races but not my own people and in the end, bringing destruction to my own people.

  He calmly thought, This pitiness towards these races should be directed more onto my own race, use it as a warning to myself so that I won’t bring my own people to such fate as them and that is the true pitiness I need.

  On his way to Heaven Suppression Fortress, as long as he ran into humans that were at the brink of destruction, he would save them and put them into his Yuan Shen secret realms and temporarily let them stay there.

  In this chaotic world, countless humans were met with tragic fates, and all Zhong Yue could do was just try his best.

  Hmmm?

  Zhong Yue suddenly saw a few human race’s gods and they were sneaking into the the war zone between two celestial races to save the humans enslaved by one of the celestial race by sneaking them out using the war as a cover.

  Outside the battlefield were a few warships and on these warships were already countless humans. After the few human gods led the human slaves onboard, the ships were entirely filled and a lady shouted, “We can’t fit anymore. It’s time to report back to master and return as soon as possible after settling them down. Who are you?”

  The few human gods were shocked as two young gods appeared on the ship’s bow without them knowing. The two young men were standing right beside them and while one of them looked extremely noble, wealthy and outstanding, the other one bore a simple and plain looking with a little tree branch resting on his hands.

  Zhong Yue looked around and he smiled, “Calm yourselves, I too, am a human. I am just curious after seeing you guys saving our people when I passed by this place. If I may, which faction do you serve?”

  The few gods exchanged a glance and the lady replied, “We are the subordinates of the Human Sovereign. Knowing that peace would be distorted and the human race will be in deep trouble, he dispatched us to look for our people to try to bring them back to the Human Sovereign Palace to escape from the war. Oh, and you are?”

  “I see.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “I am Yi Feng from Xian Tian Palace, also a human and I have quite a friendly relationship with the Human Sovereign. The world right now is as chaotic as it is right now and nowhere is safe. Since I am heading back, I suppose I can contribute to the great mission you are carrying out right now by escorting you back to the Human Sovereign Palace.”

  “King Yi!”

  The expressions of the few gods changed immediately and one of the younger one exclaimed, “Xian Tian Palace’s Mister Yi? This is bad!”

  “Silence!”

  The lady angrily stared at the young god before she immediately smiled at Zhong Yue, “Let’s not trouble you, Mister Yi. Our leader is just not far away. He is a Deity Overlord and is on the verge of becoming a Deity Emperor, with him around …”

  “Even that he can not guarantee your safety.”

  Zhong Yue interrupted, “I am a True Deity now and ordinary Deity Emperors are no match to me.”

  The few gods glanced at each other with a blank expression and seeing no possibility to turn Zhong Yue away, they had no choice but to proceed with their plan and sailed deep into the universe.

  Not long later, in the dark galaxy ahead of them, Zhong Yue saw a fleet consisted of a few hundred warships floated there quietly and there were even more humans onboard.

  Apart from the refugees, there were also human gods donned in armours and they were like an army with the strictest discipline.

  Far away, there were also a few warships that were sailing back to the fleet, each carrying refugees that the human gods extracted from the war zones.

  Zhong Yue looked around and he failed to identify any identical brandings and flags, preventing him from identify which faction did these soldiers served.

  “Qing Qing, you’re back!”

  A true Deity flew and landed onto the warship as he shouted, “The ships are all fully loaded and we can’t fit anyone anymore. Master said that…. Both of you, you are?”

  He looked towards Zhong Yue and asked.

  The lady called “Qing Qing” immediately introduced, “This is Mister Yi, King Yi of the Xian Tian Palace and this is Senior Martial Brother Hundun Yu from the Hundun Clan. We just met each other not long ago and after King Yi gotten to know that we are under Human Sovereign, he offered to escort us back to the palace.”

  Upon hearing Zhong Yue’s name, sparks sparkled in the True Deity’s eyes and the sparks disappeared quickly after hearing Qing Qing’s words. The True Deity then smiled, “How kind and generous you are, King Yi. However, us petty affairs shouldn’t be occupying your precious time. King Yi must be heading back to the Heaven Suppression Fortress? I’m afraid that the fortress is not on the same way as ours so let us not hold you up.”

  Zhong Yue smiled and said softly, “It’s alright. Where is your master? Why don’t you introduce him to me?”

  The few of them exchanged a look, stunned lock on the spot and Qing Qing forced a smile, “He is not our master but our leader.”

  With a smile still on his face, Zhong Yue continued, “You don’t have raise your guards all up on
me. I am very close to the Human Sovereign.”

  Suddenly, a very bright laughter sounded, “Mister Yi, Senior Martial Brother Yu! Such honourable guests! And here I thought Qing Qing and the others ran into some danger! This way please!”

  Zhong Yue turned around and he saw a young man walking towards them quickly; this young man was a very outstanding, noble and proud one. Judging from the aura emitted by this young man, he was a Deity Overlord but he was a very powerful one and he was very extraordinary among the human race.

  With such a presence and cultivation at only the Deity Overlord level, he definitely could stand out even in the other races.

  Zhong Yue praised and smiled, “They said you are serving under the Human Sovereign and was dispatched by him to save our people. Yiqi is an old friend of mine and a good friend in fact but I have not seen you before. I wonder if I have the pleasure of knowing your name?”

  The young man bowed slightly and said politely, “My name is Yun Juanshu, a new officer recently promoted by the Human Sovereign to handle external affairs. As much as I admired King Yi, I have not had the chance to meet you. Now, this way please, let us talk on the command warship.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and followed him to the command warship. Yun Juanshu ordered the servants after inviting Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu into the main chamber, “I will keep King Yi and Senior Martial Brother Yu accompanied, you go ahead and prepare to take off.”

  The servants bowed and immediately carried out Yun Juanshu’s order.

  Zhong Yue examined around and he said, “Yun Juanshu… What a unique name. Brother Yun, by any chance, do you know Consort Tian Si?”

  “Consort Tian Si?”

  Yun Juanshu’s eyes were filled with confusion and he shook, “Never heard of this name.”

  Zhong Yue then asked again, “How about Mo Yin?”
