Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  The starting point of the 【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, was way higher than Swords Gate Visualization Art!

  In addition, these four young ladies were raised as herbal ladies by Sun Xiao, fed with all kinds of spiritual herbs, even the pores on their skin were brimming with spiritual energies. It was as if a gentle pinch could have nipped out water from their skins!

  The【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】and the【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】, I wonder if I can cultivate them at the same time?

  Zhong Yue was visualizing the 【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 while he forged its respective totem god pillars. A bright moon revolved around him in a circular motion. The moonlights irradiated on his body and psyche, and he was meticulously reaching out to sense the disparity between it and the 【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】.

  The 【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】 concentrated more on refinement; smeltings away the impurities from his mortal body. With the strong and vibrant force of Yang to purge away the impurities, the beast god inner core would release its essence and replenish the newfound vacuum in the mortal body. As the impurities grew lesser and lesser, the mortal body grew stronger and stronger accordingly.

  In stark contrast, the 【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 focused on cleansing; it gently washed away the impurities from the body, like a river’s serene flow that carried mortal detritus downstream on its gentle current. Through this, the mortal body would receive a tender nourishment, invariably become stronger with every round of cleansing.

  Because there were two different physique refining arts, they could not be cultivated simultaneously or else, the clash their diametrically opposing philosophies would invariably have an adverse effect on Zhong Yue’s body. Hence, Zhong Yue could only cultivate by switching back and forth between the 【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】 and the 【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, it was thus very inconvenient.

  Which was why, he was currently entertaining the possibility of merging the two arts together

  Not long later, Zhong Yue took out a totem god pillar, on which was engraved the Xiang Dragon totem. If the denizens worshipped it, their psyches would reach out to the totem pillar and cast the Xiang Dragon totem, from the totem pattern on the totem god pillar, a Xiang Dragon would manifest to stalwartly protect the village.

  The Xiang Dragon was the representation of himself, after all. The identity that Zhong Yue adopted in the monster land was of a dragon race whose name was called ‘Long Yue’. That was why he had used the Xiang Dragon totem so that whenever the other monster Qi Practitioners would arrive at his territory, they would be able to conclude that they were currently in his domain from the totem pillars.

  He then proceeded in making the second totem pillar. Behind him, a sun emerged, attempting to revolve around with the bright moon. He was trying to cultivate the 【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 and the 【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】 at the same time to refine his body.

  But as soon as he started visualizing the sun and moon at the same time, both of the celestial stars collided into each other a few moments later, causing Zhong Yue to lock his brows in frustration.

  When I was in the space, all of the celestial stars were orbiting the sun; whereas from the ground, it seemed as if the sun and moon were orbiting the earth.

  Zhong Yue thought to himself, While the【Tai Chi Art】Xin Huo showed me depicted the sun and moon revolving around the Tai Hao and the Fuxi Emperor. This is most probably the key to the sun and moon to revolving around one another without colliding into each other!

  He then started to modify the 【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 and 【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】. The two arts were using the Prodigious Emanation to strengthen his mortal body, it was evident that there was a real and present danger of a conflict occurring.

  It will of course be very hard to cultivate the two arts at the same time, and the harmonic merging of these two arts are even harder. So, in order to merge them into one, there is still a missing key I will need to incorporate in between the Yin and Yang – that is the shape of the dragon, a dragon carving in between the sun and moon in the【Tai Chi Art】! Separating the Yin and Yang, while the sun and moon revolves around that dragon carving, then only I can gather the forte of the two arts!

  The dragon-headed, snake-bodied Tao Hao Fuxi was the natural dragon carving that separated the Yin and Yang, thereby forming the【Tai Hao Tai Chi Art】.

  The Tai Hao of the Tai Chi Art would be too complicated to be visualized; hence, Zhong Yue had replaced it with a dragon carving.

  It’s just nice that I have the totem patterns of the Jiao Dragon and Xiang Dragon, I can barely form the dragon carving I need in the middle of the【Tai Chi Art】. While the Jiao Dragon totem pattern itself belongs to a physique-refining art; this will be like gathering three physique refining arts into one!

  His eyes brightened up, and were gradually growing increasingly radiant, he had finally found the best way to merge three physique refining arts together!

  Zhong Yue was carving on a totem god pillar while he tried to merge the three arts together. When all of the totem pillars were fully made, he had also completed the preliminary merging the three arts together.

  Zhong Yue gave it a try, the dragon carving wreathed on him while the sun and moon revolve around him, although the movements were a little sluggish and tardy, his corporeal body could feel the refinements from the【Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art】and the cleansings from the【Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, along with the augmentation of the dragon’s power!

  This newly formed physique refining art ... it’ll be named as the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】!

  Zhong Yue stood up and summoned the four ladies: Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong. He handed them the completed totem pillars and instructed them to distribute the totem pillars to every human tribe under his jurisdiction.

  “Mistress Ru, Yanming Mountain!”

  His eyes flashed with a cold light as he left the monastery and walked down the mountain. And out of nowhere, Xin Huo suddenly said, “Brat Yue, the meaning behind the name of ‘Mistress Ru’ is concubine, and one who is truly doted upon and conferred with a status no lesser than the wife! If you kill this Mistress Ru, her lover would surely not stand still. This madam herself is already a Qi Practitioner, her lover’s prowess would be very strong and his status would be correspondingly high!”

  “Even if she is the royal concubine of the Heavenly Emperor, as long as she has eaten humans, I will still make her pay!”

  Zhong Yue shook his body, his bones crackled like snapping twigs, “I’m reserved and restrained in Swords Gate, unable to hurt anyone ... unable to kill anyone. But now, I am of the monster race, I shall don the skin of an evil dragon, and whoever provokes me, I will devour!”

  Chapter 110: Teaching Her Properly |

  This guy is completely different from the Xin Huo inheritors that I once taught. Those pure blooded Fuxi Celestial Race were all graceful and polite people that exuded a feeling of royalty. But this guy ... he simply solves his problems through murder, how violent!

  Xin Huo mentally compared Zhong Yue with the previous Xin Huo inheritors and thought, But if he really wanted to carve out his own place in this wilderness of monsters he would really have to keep on fighting to build up his might or he would be ruthlessly stepped on and abused by the other monsters!

  Zhong Yue arrived at a deserted village under the Falcon Ridge, it was completely devoid of life, not even little chickens or ducks could be seen wandering about in the village. The ground and the walls of the houses were also crusted with dried blood.

  Apparently, the hundred plus villagers in the village were all eaten by the Mistress Ru and her underlings when they passed by this village!

  The young man stood at the center of the village and remained silent for a very long time and He suddenly walked out of the village and flew towards th
e Singing Goose Mountain with his wings.

  An hour later, Zhong Yue arrived at the Singing Goose Mountain. All he could see was a lush green mountain filled with flora and faunas that was located at a location which looked like a natural array formation. A few hundred miles away from this mountain was the Gu Xia City and those who had the privilege to stay and cultivate here were usually those powerful Qi Practitioners of the monster race.

  Zhong Yue retracted his wings and walked into the mountain, only to find countless palaces all over the mountain, hidden behind the huge jungles and looking seemingly peaceful and quiet as innumerable monsters walked about the mountains. The monsters all ranged from the likes of tigers, leopards, hyenas, and wolves that had yet to achieve the level of Qi Practitioner.

  Zhong Yue casually intercepted one leopard monster and asked,”Where is Mistress Ru staying?”

  The leopard monster was shocked when he saw Zhong Yue’s face and he immediately bowed and replied, “Mistress Lu is staying in the Heart Soothing Palace of the Violet Cloud Summit. Pardon me senior, but you are?”

  “I am Long Yue, a Qi Practitioner from the Falcon Ridge and I would like to see Mistress Ru.”

  Zhong Yue waved his hand and said, “Go on, lead me to her.”

  The leopard monster dared not tarry any longer and quickly led the way towards the Violet Could Summit. As they walked, Zhong Yue asked, “Which of the lords does this Mistress Ru belong to?”

  “She is the second wife of Master Yan San Li. Senior, you have not heard of Master Yan, have you?”

  Zhong Yue shook and said, “What is Yan San Li’s current cultivation level?”

  “This ... I have no idea, but our Master Yan was beginning to break through the Awakening level not long ago. As for the rest, I do not know.”

  “So he is in the Rebirth Stage.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and not long after, the little monster had led him to the front door of Violet Cloud Summit and he bowed and said, “Please wait here, senior, I shall head inside and notify Mistress Ru.”

  “There is no need for that.”

  Zhong Yue shook his head and said, “Just stand here and don’t move.”

  The leopard monster stunned as he had no idea what Zhong Yue was up to as Zhong Yue looked and measuredly gazed at the summit. Apparently, the Violet Cloud Summit was not very big, only having a radius of ten kilometers and a height of about two to three hundred feet.

  “A radius of ten kilometers and only two to three hundred feet tall. Hmmm… This should be enough.”

  Zhong Yue murmured as the golden wings grew out on his back and immediately took him high up into the sky as they flapped powerfully. Not long after, he was already at the top of the VIolet Cloud Summit.

  Under him, the true wickedness of the Violet Cloud Summit was bared to him as he saw many female monsters that lived in the temple on the Violet Cloud Summit, each of them having grown up devouring human flesh.

  The leopard monster looked up and his face changed rapidly as the psyche of Zhong Yue gushed out like a tsunami, falling from the skies with unstoppable power!

  His psyche fell down like burning lava, draconic roars resonated as it fell and Zhong Yue’s psyche transformed into fiery Jiao Dragons, roaring and plunging towards the bottom!

  These Jiao Dragons were a few tens of feet long, extremely ferocious, carrying not only fire, but also thunder as they flew. In just a split second of time, the dangerous Jiao Dragons had completely besieged and encircled around the top of Violet Cloud Summit!

  The dragons danced around in the air, shrouding the Violet Cloud Summit with their shadows before diving towards the bottom!

  Boom——

  Countless huge Jiao Dragons drilled into the Violet Cloud Summit as a huge shock struck the leopard monster, which caused his heart to thump quickly. The summit trembled vigorously and the Jiao Dragons drilled in and out of the summit; destroying the temples and instigating an avalanche of rocky debris to fall from the mountaintop. Loud shrieks could be heard and the monster ladies in the temple tried to escape only to be slowly devoured by the dragon claws and the blazing conflagration!

  Not long later, the entire Violet Cloud Summit was razed to the ground, its former grandiloquence now reduced to a landscape of ruin!

  The dragon swarm ascended into the air and swiftly returned back into Zhong Yue’s glabella, leaving no trace of themselves behind.

  No Qi Practitioners, only some imbecilic monsters, it seems like Mistress Ru is not here….

  Zhong Yue could not help it and he quickly left in disappointment.

  Whereas on the other hand, the leopard monster shivered and he cowardly walked towards the ruins of the Violet Cloud Summit. To his dismay, the area was now only a graveyard of corpses, with no survivors in sight, and the entire Violet Cloud Summit was completely demolished!

  “This is bad, this is bad!”

  The leopard monster changed to his original form and ran quickly towards the Gu Xia City while shouting, “Quickly, report all of this to Master Yan, something bad has happened!”

  At the same time, the other monsters dwelling in the Sing Goose Mountain came out to have a look and their face turned pale as they saw the ruins of the Violet Cloud Summit along with the corpses. They quickly recollected their thoughts and some of them took the initiative to report this to the Gu Xia City.

  Upon seeing this, an idea lit up in Zhong Yue’s mind and he casually followed behind these monsters and he thought, I should be able to find this Mistress Ru if I follow them.

  Not long later, they finally reached the Gu Xia City and they immediately started in the streets of the city.

  Zhong Yue was still following behind as these monsters soon reached the river located within the city. This river was as big as a lake and there were boats afloat on top of it.

  One would have to be powerful if he or she wished to board any one of these boats. Among the few hundred Qi Practitioners within the Gu Xia City, only a few ten of them were qualified to board these boats.

  As the monsters from the Singing Goose Mountain ran, looking and searching the boats one by one for someone, Zhong Yue followed behind them as if he were a Qi Practitioner simply enjoying the scenery around him.

  On one of the most luxurious boats, Yan Sanli was listening to some songs played by some fox ladies while he enjoyed the scenery around him along with his two wives and few other Qi Practitioners. Then, Mistress Ru suddenly said, “Darling, I passed by the Falcon Ridge a few days ago and coincidently felt hungry and thirsty so I fed on a few men. However, the people in Falcon Ridge said that they had a new master called Long Yue and he is apparently from the dragon race. They said that they were the property of Long Yue and that he did not allow me to partake in them. Other than that, I remember that the warm-hearted senior martial brother Ji Xiao was killed by this Long Yue so I couldn’t help it so I ate hundreds of them. Now that I recall this matter, I feel that something is not right.”

  “Long Yue? Dragon race?”

  Yan Sanli smirked and said, “He is just an outsider, having the audacity to intrude on our monsterland? It is obvious that he was simply unfit to continue living within the land of the dragons and so he just came here to strut about! I was already generous enough to not dwell on the matter of him killing Ji Xiao. So what if you ate some of his men?”

  One Qi Practitioner laughed and replied, ‘Long Yue? I heard of him, he is a newcomer, a new young man from the dragon race. He also became a Qi Practitioner not long ago.”

  “What if this Long Yue came seeking for an explanation….” said the worried Mistress Ru.

  “Worry not. He may be a dragon but he is still a newborn Qi Practitioner that has barely any experience. So long as he hasn’t achieved the level of Spirit-Soul as One, he would still be easily slaughtered easily me even if he is a dragon.”

  Yan Sanli continued saying calmly, “Whereas for me, I’ve already achieved the level of Spirit-Soul as One and on the verge of breaking through to the Awaken
ing level. If he dares to come looking for trouble, I would be able to do anything I want to him!”

  “Brother Yan, never underestimate your enemy.”

  Another monster Qi Practitioner quickly replied, “He went back to the eastern sea not long ago, rumors said that he went back to learn some kind of incredible techniques and arts. If he knew that Mistress Ru ate his men, he would definitely feel aggrieved and I am sure he will come looking for trouble with you.”

  “Master Yan, Madam, Mistress Ru. Bad news!”

  Suddenly, the monsters from the Singing Goose Mountain found the boat carrying Yan Sanli and the others, and they immediately shouted, “This is bad! There is a draconic-looking guy that razed the entire Violet Cloud Summit. He demolished the entire summit and all the servants are dead!”

  The boat stopped moving and the windows opened while Yan Sanli and the others looked towards the shore. His face changed and he shouted, “What?”

  The Mistress Ru beside him turned pale and she let out a shriek, “What happened to my Violet Cloud Summit?”

  “So here you are.”

  At the shore, Zhong Yue walked towards to the end of the shore, facing directly at the boat and he raised his palms, pointing towards the boat while he leaped towards the boat.

  Huala————

  Water pillars rose up around the boat and they surrounded the boat in the middle. Suddenly, these few ten meter tall water pillars turned into water Jiao Dragons, roaring as they plunged towards the boat!

  Pu pu pu————

  As a loud sound could be heard, the boat was pierced by the dragons before it directly exploded into pieces!

  “How dare you!”
