Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

This was the path that Dao Venerate Fu Min experimented on, but this was not taught to Feng Xiaozhong yet, yet he still entered the same path as Dao Venerate Fu Min.

  Compared to Dao Venerate Fu Min who formed a Fuxi illusion through countless secret realms and studied the interactions using the fake Fuxi, Feng Xiaozhong was much more extreme for he directly tested his theories on himself without considering the consequences!

  This was something neither Zhong Yue nor Dao Venerate Fu Min could do for they were both carrying a lot on their shoulders and their position made them unable to do things as they wished.

  And that was why their heart of Dao was not as crystal clear and pure as Feng Xiaozhong’s.

  The middle-aged man continued to shift from one seventh secret realm to another and he said, “There are many types of Seven Paths Reincarnation, Space, Time, Cosmic, Light, Eight Barren, Million Daos, Heaven, Earth…. Generally speaking, the seventh secret realms all have different trails, they look different but all have the same essence behind them. The interactions between every secret realm type and the Six Paths Reincarnation all contain the same logic and once you fully comprehend the logic, you will acquire the last key to the seventh secret realm.”

  His words earned Zhong Yue’s admiration and respect, though Feng Xiaozhong’s Seven Paths Reincarnation was taught to him by Zhong Yue, his comprehensions even surpassed Zhong Yue’s.

  “Senior martial brother, a man’s wisdom will come to an end sooner or later. But together, A monarchs’ intelligence have no end. This time, I gathered the future monarchs here and through their intelligence, I will push the calculation of Seven Paths Reincarnation one huge step forward!” smiled Zhong Yue.

  Meanwhile, upon feeling the imminent Seven Paths Reincarnation’s crumbling, Feng Xiaozhong dispersed it before any harm was done to him and said, “You’ve always focused on developing your power, every movement you made would cause the world to circle around you. With an order, the future monarchs gathered in Heaven Breaching Fortress, allowing you to exploit their intelligence and I, can’t do all these.”

  Zhong Yue was stunned; Feng Xiaozhong was zealous on seeking Daos, allowing him to strengthen his heart of Dao to a point that it was unmovable and as for Zhong Yue, he focused on developing his own power. The two of them walked onto two different paths, but from the looks of it right now, it seemed like they have all returned to the same path.

  Another messenger showed up and came reported, “My lord, as we returned from Imperial Star, the Heavenly Monarch’s divine officer halted us and requested for hundred invitation letters.”

  “Heavenly Monarch Di Ming also wants to join the meeting?”

  Zhong Yue was very surprised and he took over the name list presented by the messenger. He frowned right after taking a look for apart from heavenly Monarch Di Ming, there were many other strange names and he mumbled, “What is he plotting now? Is he planning to personally wipe out me and my army?”

  “There is also a young god that returned with us this time. He calls himself Feng Mingshan and demanded to have a word with you, my lord.” reported the messenger again.

  Zhong Yue was surprised and he said, “Isn’t Feng Mingshan in Heavenly Fire Barren Region? Why is he here? Where is he, I have to meet him right now!”

  Suddenly, another messenger came reporting, “My lord, I’ve returned from Xian Tian Palace and I ran into Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. He also asked for 37 invitation letters, this is the name list.”

  Zhong Yue became even more surprised and when he took the name list over, he found himself unheard of the other 36 names except for Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s.

  “But Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is already here, why the extra effort?”

  Chapter 1069: The Sign of Nine-Five |

  The messenger bowed, “There is one more thing, my lord. Yan Sovereign has cultivated into the Imperial Emperor level, he ran into us and requested for an invitation letter as well.”

  “Jiang Yiqi is planning to come as well?”

  Zhong Yue’s emotion experienced a drastic change and his expression turned cold, “Nonsense! I won’t give him any invitation letter!”

  The messenger did not even dare to speak a word and he tried to minimize his presence before Zhong Yue’s anger.

  As the Human Sovereign, there were eyes everywhere watching Jiang Yiqi carefully, if he continued to live as an average man, he would survive. But if he revealed any modicum of talent, especially the potential of becoming a monarch, what awaited him was definitely a destructive blow!

  This meeting was the future monarch’s meeting, every individual attending the meeting were all those destined to become monarch if they lived. As for Jiang Yiqi, he had already crossed the line in the eyes of some of those ancient ones, if he actually dared to intrude on the future monarch meeting, no matter what he did, he would become a problem to be eliminated!

  By not allowing Jiang Yiqi to attend, Zhong Yue was trying to protect him.

  “Jiang Yiqi’s talent is quite impressive, to think that he is able to become an Imperial Emperor in less than 100 years.”

  Xin Huo said in surprise, “Zhong Yue, you are right. All Jiang Yiqi needs is just a chance and you delivered it right to him, it’s his time to shine right now. He is more compatible with the Fire Order Era’s art. Upon acquiring it, be it his potential, talent or conduct, they have all experienced quite some changes. He now has the decisiveness and sharpness of the Fire Order Era!”

  Zhong Yue’s expression remained gloomy, at this point, he regretted teaching Jiang Yiqi the [Zhu Long Heavenly Mystic Art]. Jiang Yiqi was previously honest and simple. But after cultivating this art, his personality underwent a drastic change. He no longer wished to keep a low profile and became even more daring!

  In other times, this would’ve been an excellent change, but in such a sensitive time, it was definitely not a good thing!

  Zhong Yue calmed his mind and went to meet with Feng Mingshan, whose presence was much stronger than before. His changes surprised Zhong Yue and the young man smiled, “Brother Mingshan, you’ve changed a lot, what happened?”

  Right now, Feng Mingshan really did possess a presence like never before. Back then, he was proud, bright and confident, now, the proudness was gone but he now shined even brighter than before!

  The feeling he gave Zhong Yue was like he experienced some drastic change that removed all the impurities in him and left him with only the true essence!

  Back then, Feng Mingshan was powerful, but to Zhong Yue now, Feng Mingshan was nothing more than child’s play to Zhong Yue. Feng Mingshan now, however, was supported by a great determination and a target that made him stronger than ever!

  “I was met with an ultimate obstacle in my life and after overcoming it, I’ve obtained the monarch level mentality.”

  Feng Mingshan stood beside Zhong Yue, and heavenly fire burned strongly in his eyes as he recounted what happened in the Ancestral Court, “Tian Feng Sovereign Race had always been Feng Tian Origin Lord’s pawns, a tool to be disposed off after use. The Tian Feng Sovereign Race was never a sovereign race. When I got out of the Ancestral Court, I lost my sanity and turned into a mad man. For a few years, I had no idea where am was or where I was meant to go. But things changed after I arrived at the Heavenly River not long ago. When I looked at my reflection in the water, something struck me …”

  His eyes brightened up and he smiled, “Since my race is no more in my heart, then why don’t I rebuild the Tian Feng Sovereign Race? If the Tian Feng Sovereign Race is no longer around, then I will rebuild Tian Feng Sovereign Race and return them to glory again!”

  Zhong Yue resonated with his thoughts as what Feng Mingshan decided and experienced was very similar to his own thoughts and experiences. Just like Feng Mingshan, Zhong Yue was also walking on the path of reviving his race’s glory!

  “I will turn the new Tian Feng Sovereign Race into a real sovereign race, not just any puppet or tool that can be disposed off! The posterity of the T
ian Feng Sovereign Race will be able to stand up straight and take pride in their identity!”

  The heavenly fire in Feng Mingshan’s eyes intensified as an ambitious target grew in him, “I will defeat Feng Tian Origin Lord, rise as the new king and become a monarch! In order to achieve this, I will need friends, allies and companions, which is also why I have come to you!”

  “Why me?” asked Zhong Yue with a smile while lights shined in his eyes.

  Feng Minghshan stared at Zhong Yue and said seriously, “You are a Fuxi, the last of your kind, just like me, you wish to rebuild the Fuxi Celestial Race! You and I have something in common. Don’t even think of denying this because the encounter in Fuxi Ancestral Court suggested that you are a Fuxi or you wouldn’t even be able to acquire the Ancestral Court! Don’t worry, I will not expose you!”

  Zhong Yue broke the silence after some time and said calmly, “Ok, so you think you have the qualifications to join me?”

  Hearing this question, Feng Mingshan’s aura spiked. Seven light wheels appeared behind his head, each filled with endless arcane energy while a Wutong Divine Tree emerged slowly!

  As he unleashed his full power, the entire Heaven Breaching Fortress was alerted by his presence; the many young future monarchs that were present in the fortress were all shocked by Feng Mingshan’s display.

  Shrouded in fiery heavenly fire, Feng Mingshan was just like a nine-headed phoenix that could incinerate everything it touched!

  “Who is that? To think that his aura is similar to a Deity Overlord!” exclaimed Ti Mobei.

  Pan Xu shouted, “He also cultivated the seventh secret realm, just like Mister Yi!”

  A clamor arose among the young geniuses, “For more than 90 years we have been trying to understand the secrets of the seventh secret realm, yet none of us have succeeded. But someone actually managed to do it! Heh, Mister Yi has an opponent now!”

  ….

  “Now, do I have the qualifications?” mumbled Feng Mingshan.

  Zhong Yue took a look at the seventh wheel behind Feng Mingshan’s head. A small smile spread across his face as he summoned Jin Hexi and Yin Fanxuan, “Darlings, show Brother Mingshan your seventh secret realm.”

  Weng—

  Two seventh secret realms were revealed, the ladies’ aura breached the skies and rampaged across the entire fortress as the seventh wheel behind their head took form, rumbling with Dao voices and even showing the rawest form of the Seven Paths Reincarnation!

  Feng Mingshan was dumbfounded right away. Not only did the ladies achieve the seventh secret realm, but they also cultivated it to a level that revealed the miniature form of the Seven Paths Reincarnation, a stage much more advanced than Feng Mingshan’s!

  And if the two ladies were already this strong, just how powerful was Zhong Yue?

  After all, Zhong Yue was the one that obtained the heritage of Fuxi’s Ancestral Court!

  “Brother Mingshan, to be frank, you are one of the ones with the most potential I’ve ever come across. I can give you a hand and speed up your cultivation on the miniature Seven Paths Reincarnation to further increase your achievements.”

  Zhong Yue said in a very serious manner, “But in exchange, you will have to pledge your loyalty to me. You’d better consider this carefully for all you want is to deal with Feng Tian Origin Lord and build a real Tian Feng Sovereign Race. But I stand opposite the entire universe. I wish to topple everything and flip the world upside down… to stomp on Heaven!”

  Feng Mingshan’s mind went blank, Flip the world upside down and step on Heaven? Such audacity!

  However, who else would be willing to take him in if he didn’t work with someone like Zhong Yue, who dared to oppose the whole universe, let alone Feng Tian Origin Lord!

  After some time, Feng Mingshan inhaled a deep breath and shouted, “Deal!”

  “Good!”

  Zhong Yue laughed in satisfaction, “The General Assembly of Future Monarchs will be starting! Those who are present are not just future monarchs but also the current monarchs and innate gods! Come, let us meet the truly powerful ones in this universe!”

  Feng Mingshan nodded and said, “And I’d like to see Mister Yi’s strength at the meeting!”

  Zhong Yue replied calmly, “There are four years more until the meeting begins and you will have only four years to cultivate! Meanwhile, I will teach you the miniature Seven Paths Reincarnation. Let’s see if you can beat me four years later!”

  As time slowly passed, hundred years meeting drew near. Mo Yin, who kept close attention to Heaven Breaching Fortress’s fate, was in shock and fear when the fortress became the place where the future monarchs stayed. The location was now steeped in a terrifying amount of destiny and deep in the universe, countless Imperial Stars rumbled as they moved closer to the fortress!

  Intelligence can’t beat overwhelming strength, but King Yi’s intelligence has overwhelmed my abilities!

  Knowing that his Almanac of Fate was entirely useless before such ruthless fate and that it could not even weaken the fate by even an inch, Mo Yin couldn’t help but have mixed feelings.

  No wonder the Fuxi Celestial Race that possesses Almanac of Fate, and powerful fate is banished into humans in a blink of an eye. The Almanac of Fate could not alter the universe’s fate or stop the absolute fate’s flow.

  As soon as he thought of this, a divine general came reporting, “Mister, His Majesty is here!”

  “His Majesty? What is he doing here?”

  Mo Yin’s heart thumped and he stood up quickly. He summoned his escorts to notify Lou Zhengshi and the others of Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s arrival. After that, he walked out quickly and was met with a laugh, “Mister Mo, there is no need to alert so many! I am here to attend the General Assembly of Future Monarchs, there is no need to make a fuss about my arrival!”

  Mo Yin looked towards the voice’s direction, where Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess approached him, followed by 95 different looking celestials and demons, all in different levels but each of them was extremely powerful!

  95 innate gods! The Sign of Nine-Five!

  Mo Yin’s heart thumped again for the 95 innate gods brought along by Heavenly Monarch Di Ming were all the innate gods in Bi Luo Palace!

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was, after all, a Heavenly Monarch, and with Heaven’s power, it was natural that Bi Luo Palace would send innate gods to aid Heavenly Monarch Di Ming.

  However, the fact that Heavenly Monarch Di Ming brought along 95 innate gods with him was out of Mo Yin’s anticipation for this was the Sign of Nine-Five 1 !

  With the 95 innate gods that symbolized the Sign of Nine-Five, this was perhaps, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s strongest power!

  His Majesty says that he wants to attend the future monarch meeting, but it’s definitely more than just that!

  Mo Yin’s eyes flashed, Could it be that he is preparing to make a move on his own?

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked towards the fortress and said, “How majestic! It’s even grander and larger than it was first built. King Yi really is impressive, no wonder he could defeat my armies easily? Heh, me attending the meeting personally will not be lowering my standard with all that taken into consideration!”

  Mo Yin remained silent and he dared not speak a word at all.

  “Mister Mo, do you know why I brought along 95 innate gods?” asked Heavenly Monarch Di Ming.

  “I do.” replied Mo Yin.

  “But Mu Xiantian doesn’t.”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smiled. “I’ve waited for years for Mu Xiantian’s demon true body to become a monarch. Now that his demon form has the upper hand against his celestial form, he will be affected by the demonical characteristics heavily. When he is under the effect of his celestial form, he will be acting much more rationally, but the demonic form will have him to grow wary of his own men. If he had absolute trust in King Zi Guang and King Yi, he would have no weaknesses, but now, he will be overrun with conflicting thoughts! This is an
inevitable weakness in all demons! At long last, the chance I waited for so long has arrived!”

  Chapter 1070: Faceless Man |

  He placed his hands behind his back and said, “This is my chance! The meeting held by King Yi is the best time for me to grab onto this chance firmly!”

  In the fortress, Fu Li reported, “My lord, Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi is here, he’s already outside of the fortress!”

  Zhong Yue’s expression changed right away and he said, “Let’s go welcome him.”

  Outside the fortress, Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi was approaching with Shi Tuo and Xing Tian behind him.

  After not seeing him for such a long time, Xing Tian was now a towering muscular young man and he was riding on the back of Shi Tuo. For Shi Tuo, he was bestowed with a body by Feng Xiaozhong, this body was a body created by Feng Xiaozhong with the power of Creator, but because of this, he became Xing Tian’s mount.

  Whereas for Jiang Yiqi, he appeared to be much younger than before, as if he returned to his middle age from an old man, now taking the form of a younger and confident middle-aged man!

  From Creator to Imperial Emperor level, his cultivation level increased tremendously, his lifespan extended, especially after cultivating the [Zhu Long Heavenly Mystic Art] that filled his body with vibrant life essence.

  Zhong Yue walked towards him and just as he was about to say something, a voice sounded, “King Yi, I came uninvited but I sincerely hope to participate in the General Assembly of Future Monarchs, would you please indulge my selfish request?”

  Zhong Yue turned around and he was a little stunned upon seeing a man and a chariot approaching slowly.

  Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched and he said politely, “Brother, have we met before?”

  The young man stood up, “I’ve met you but King Yi hasn’t yet.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and he asked again when he was about to write a new invitation letter, “Brother, your name?”

  “Xuan Ji.”

  In an instant, the invitation was done and Zhong Yue smiled, “Alright, I will be waiting for you with open arms during the future monarch meeting, Brother Xuan Ji.”
