Rise of Humanity

Furthermore, the Realm Monarchs have left in him far too many knowledge from the discussions, he needed some time to digest those information and turned them into his own.
Other than those, there is still the Pure Yang mortal body that I want to try it out , Zhong Yue thought, I wonder if the Pure Yang mortal body is actually one of those lost extreme states in the Imminent Deity level? No matter what, I should try it first and see if it works; otherwise, it’d be impossible to achieve it anymore after ascending into deityhood.
But after all, the Pure Yang mortal body was just a baseless conjecture he made, it was still doubtful if he could actually succeed.
After the blessings from the Realm Monarchs, the only thing that didn’t see any improvements was his Innate True Soul. Even though he was just a Qi Practitioner, Zhong Yue’s Innate True Soul was competent enough to stand on par with a Deity Emperor’s soul if not stronger.
During the talk, even the Realm Monarchs who were all Creators, couldn’t have mentioned anything about the soul reverting into the innate state. One must say, Zhong Yue has already walked on an unprecedented path regarding the cultivation of the soul.
But the Innate True Soul wasn’t the only thing that remained the same, his Innate Tai Yin Qi and the Innate Tai Yang Qi were untouched as well as he couldn’t glean much regarding the cultivation techniques on the innate Qi from the Realm Monarchs.
Before ascending into deityhood, I have to visit and witness the true Lei Zhe.
Only the Qi Practitioners would encounter the 81 levels Pure Yang Lei Zhe as their Yuan Shen were not in the Pure Yang state, which was why the Pure Yang Lei Zhe wouldn’t be triggered by the gods.
As for the real Lei Zhe, Zhong Yue would definitely pay it a visit before the ascension. Xin Huo once said that the Lei Zhe was the Ancestral Court, the birthplace of the Innate Leize divine dragon, and also the origin of the Great Sui and Fuxi. Thus, the name—Ancestral Court.
Back in the ancient days, the prominent Fuxi talents would head over to the Lei Zhe Ancestral Court. They would all fight their way through the true Lei Zhe and be blessed by the lightning tribulations. It was taken as a coming of age ceremony and only after that, they could be counted as an adult.
And for the Fuxi Clan, the adulthood meant—the deityhood!
Whereas the Great Sui has the same tradition.
As going through the lightning tribulations of the Ancestral Court Lei Zhe was the coming to age ceremony for the Fuxi Clan and Great Sui, Zhong Yue felt the need to visit it before ascending into deityhood.
The Pure Yang Lei Zhe is merely a mark left behind in the nature by the true Lei Zhe. Only by experiencing the real lightning tribulations in the real Lei Zhe can I know the difference in strength between the ancient ancestors’ and mine.
He calmed himself and prepared to digest the information in his head, to turn them into his own attainments.
“Master…”
Zhong Yue was immediately stunned and his mind went blank in an instant.
As the blanket was unfold and revealed a lady with ivory skin and a fountain of jet black hair, she stared at Zhong Yue affectionately and said fondly, “Master, I’ve been waiting for a very long time~.”
The lady was already naked and has been on his bed for god knows how long!
Zhong Yue quickly surged his psyche and scanned the surrounding. After clearing the possibilities of any ambushes around, he heaved a breath of relief and questioned the uninvited lady, “Woman, who are you? Why are you on my bed?”
He couldn’t help but to be vigilant. The grand competition was drawing nearer and in order to take out the competitors, the many candidates wouldn’t mind using any dirty tricks.
Thus, his first thought when he saw the lady was, A conspiracy!
Tucking a lady on the competitor’s bed and allured him with his sexual desire to exhaust the competitor’s energy so that they could easily kill him in the competition.
Or, the lady was on the bed was from a notable clan or family, perhaps the Realm Monarch’s, Heavenly King’s or anyone else’s. When the competitor was mating with the lady, the family member’s would be notified and rushed over to condemn the competitor.
The loss of fame and reputation was inevitable, and to be able to stay alive in the hands of the lady’s family members would already be a blessing from the heavens!
The lady moved her body alluringly and chortled, “Master, don’t be suspicious of me. I am Heavenly King Fu’s daughter, my name is Shi Qi’er, my father said master you are a good husband that I can hand over the rest of my life into your hands…”
Zhong Yue was furious, Heavenly King Fu? This fatty little sh*t, I knew he isn’t a good-doer, how dare he try to frame me? If I’ve slept with his daughter, I bet on my life that he’ll rush into the room instantly, and with her daughter adding oil to the fire on the side claiming that I tried to rape her, I’d be dead for sure!
He reached out his hand and the arcane energy surged into the blanket. The naked lady suddenly exclaimed in shock thinking that Zhong Yue was a pervert who couldn’t contain his sexual desire anymore.
But suddenly, Zhong Yue has clawed the lady out from his bed, and with his incredible control over the arcane energy, the lady’s clothes flew toward her and wore themselves onto her body.
Shi Qi’er shouted in shock, “Master…”
Hu—
Zhong Yue gave the young lady’s one last push on her butt with his leg and Shi Qi’er was shot right out of his room through the window.
Moments later, Shi Qi’er landed on the ground with her butt and the impact hit her with a dizzy spell.
When she had came back to her senses, she found herself sitting on the middle of the street. The gods around were staring at her in shock and puzzlement, clearly no one expected to find such a beauty suddenly falling from the sky.
“Is there really such a rude man!.” Shi Qi’er was so angry that tears started rolling in her eyes. She stood up with the mark of a shoe left on her butt, she questioned furiously, “He actually kicked me out when I’m already on the bed, am I not up to standard in his eyes?”
Hah, that fatty Heavenly King Lu wanted to frame me, but I ain’t an easy target to mess with! Zhong Yue thought, Thankfully I am quick-witted and acted instantly.
On the other hand, Shi Qi’er has returned to her father and reported everything to him. She cried and hollered, “He kicked me out right away without even listening to my explanation! Father, you have to bring justice to him!”
“What justice? I witnessed the 3,000 Realm Monarchs helping him with his cultivation with my own eyes. He is from somewhere greater than our reach, what can I do to him?” Heavenly King Fu mumbled worriedly, “I’ve delivered you so that he can forgive me. But now that he declined you, what should I do? Haih, I am also an idiot for criticizing him. Now that he doesn’t even want to accept my daughter for free…”
Shi Qi’er was shocked, “Is the human from such a great power? If father you can maintain a good relation with him, your position in the Heaven Court will be more secured!”
“What a pity, beauties doesn’t seem to attract him.” Heavenly King Lu sighed.
…
After a dozen days, the grand competition among the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds has finally started. The Heaven Court was never this lively before, the Deity Emperors, the Heavenly Kings, the many clans and factions have all gathered together to watch the competition.
But other than to watch the competition, they were also here to seize this chance so that they could teach their students and or disciples some knowledge that can bee seen from the contestants.
I wonder what kind of formidable experts can I face with in the battles? Zhong Yue couldn’t help but to anticipate.
Although his overall power has improved tremendously, he never thought he was invincible in the level of Qi Practitioner and there would always be someone stronger than him, such as King Geng—one who was the Galaxy Innate Spirit Body and learned the C
reator-level skill.
People like these exists all across the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
Whereas for those stronger would be at the same level as Si Ming already. Si Ming, a pureblood Fuxi, she cultivates the imperial-level art and techniques. One could say, she resembled one of the eight sovereign race, the Fuxi Celestial Race.
And unlike the waned Fuxi Celestial Race that was left with only one and a half Fuxi, the other seven of the right sovereign race would exist in many of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!
For example, Ju Ying was from the Ju Fang Celestial Race, an extended branch from one of the eight sovereign race, the Ti Ting Clan.
A race could only be called as a sovereign race only when there was a Heavenly Monarch that once emerged in history of the clan. Thus, it was natural for the eight sovereign races to still have retaining the purity of their blood and the heritage of the Heavenly Monarch.
And a talent blessed with the two criterias would naturally be situated at the same level as the experts like Si Ming.
Even if there weren’t any experts like Si Ming in the grand competition, there would surely be some who’ve been fortunate enough to cultivate the heritage of a Creator or even the Imperial Emperor. Contestants like these were also one of the most formidable kinds.
Furthermore, talents born with the blood of the sovereign races and royal races were also powerful enough to be aware of.
Other than that, many of the various innate spirit bodies would also most probably appear in the grand competition!
Zhong Yue was filled with battle spirit, he glanced around at his competitors to estimate their capabilities and identify those that were strong enough to threaten or even defeat him.
Ju Ying, Shi Yinji, Yu Bochuan and the others held a stern face as they found most of the competitors were just about the same level as their prowess, with some of them appearing even stronger than them!
As they were looking at the other Qi Practitioners, the opponents were looking at them as well. One of the Qi Practitioners suddenly laughed, “The Wei Shen Six Paths World? The Six Paths World that has crowned the last place for years?”
A young lady then said with hoarse voice that contradicted with her age, “I heard the Wei Shen Six Paths World has exiled their strongest Qi Practitioner, King Geng. And I was just thinking about meeting him in the battles, but now it seems like the rest of them are all just little dolls to toy with. What a let down.”
Another Qi Practitioner burst out into laughter, “The Wei Shen Six Paths World will secure their last place as they’ve always been. With them by our side, we will never be worried that we’d be the last of all 3,000 Six Paths World.”
Ju Ying, Hua Zhenchuan, and the rest felt ashamed and furious. And when suddenly, a voice said beside them, “Huh? How weird… Why are the Qi Practitioners from the other Six Paths World felt so weak?”
The crowd looked over to met with a bewildered Zhong Yue mumbling to himself, “They looked like easy targets to bully on…”
Chapter 730: Fell For It |
Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others were greatly motivated by his words and they burst out laughing, “Well said! They all look like they’re weak and easy targets!
However, little did they know that Zhong Yue was not trying to rally them but instead, simply stating his honest opinion; these Qi Practitioners were more than just weak in his eyes.
Initially, he was already someone in the top tier, but after being baptized by the Realm Monarchs, his overall strength surged to horrifying levels making others seem even weaker than before.
Meanwhile, the already enraged Qi Practitioners around became even more incensed upon hearing Zhong Yue’s provocation. These were proud sons and daughters of heaven, and each and every one of them possessed terrifying backgrounds. Each of them arrived here after a going through their own harrowing adventures as well.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they all led lives of bloodshed. One can imagine how they would respond after being insulted as they were just then.
If they were being looked down by those from the Bo Luo Six Path World, then so be it; that world was the strongest world in every aspect.
Prince Bo Di, the prince of Bo Luo Six Path World was someone personally taught by Realm Monarch Bo Luo; under his guidance, Prince Bo Di cultivated all the techniques from his father and even once entered Zi Wei Celestial Star to recieve the teachings of the Imperial Emperor.
Thus, if they were looked down upon by him, then they had nothing to say about it. But now, they were being looked down by the Qi Practitioners from the weakest Six Path World and this Qi Practitioner was even a human!
Humans occupied the lowliest position in every world, and so being denigrated by one was simply the biggest slap in the face!
“Such big words coming from your mouth, human!” grinned a Qi Practitioner.
Another young man then said, “To have the galls to speak in such way, I assume you are someone strong in your world. Do you mind sharing with us your ranking and which realm you came from in your world?”
Obediently, Zhong Yue replied, “I’m from the Prison Realm and I have no idea as to my rank.”
Everyone burst out laughing and one of them rolled on the ground panted as he said, “Qi Practitioner from the Prison Realm, and a human, not to mention you’re from the lousiest Six Paths World! You are really arrogant!”
Zhong Yue, however, waited for them to finish before saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not looking down at all of you, I’m merely speaking the truth, you are all really very weak.”
This only fanned the flames of their anger.
“I’m serious,” said Zhong Yue apologetically, “I’m just voicing out my opinion.”
The Qi Practitioners became even more furious and all of them shot sharp glares at him, “Silence, human!”
“Your words are big but I wonder if your strength can hold up the weight of your words!”
Suddenly, one of them failed to hold himself back and just as his killing intent rose, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and completely unleashed his aura. Darkness engulfed the Qi Practitioners around him and after a second, they saw Zhong Yue but this time, he stood before them like a a demon king
One side was just a single entity yet felt like an insurmountable demon king while on the other hand were a bunch of ants that felt hopelessly puny and weak!
Beads of cold sweat rolled down from their forehead and splashed on the floor, but they didn’t dare to move even a finger. They remained frozen on the same spot as the horrendous aura and killing intent locked onto them.
In their psyche ocean, Zhong Yue had morphed into a demon king, indelibly imprinting himself on it.
In a second, the thousands Qi Practitioners around froze on the ground. The scene was eerie as no one made a sound at all.
“Do you know what I’m trying to tell you now?” Zhong Yue’s voice drilled into their minds, shooking them greatly.
No one dared to rebuke him; they were all terrorized by him, feeling like they would be killed if they even dared to move.
Suddenly, the killing intent and the saber presence vanished like a dream. Everyone remained soaked by their sweat, and when they turned to look at Zhong Yue again, he had already left with Ju Ying and the others.
“Monster….” said a lady with the hoarse voice while she was covered in cold sweat.
But Zhong Yue’s shadow continued to haunt them even after he left and whenever his image came into their mind, they would feel devoid of strength and hope!
With his saber untouched, he had already branded himself as an impossible foe in their minds.
Of course, if a fight really broke out, Zhong Yue was definitely not a match against these Qi Practitioners; as if they swarmed him, they could even slaughter a real Heavenly Deity, not to mention just a near-Heavenly Deity Qi Practitioner like him.
However, with everything he gained from the teaching of the many Realm Monarchs, he had reached a level far superior than th
ose out there and in terms world view, even the celestial emperors were not as strong as him!
And everything he had accumulated had allowed him to achieve an understanding towards Dao that far surpassed those of his generation.
With the knowledge, understanding and everything he had gained, an inch difference in strength would bestow him the capability to triumph over his opponents easily!
Besides, his strength was already far beyond their league even before the Realm Monarchs’ teachings.
Ju Ying and the others were all shocked; when Zhong Yue closed his eyes and unleashed his killing intent and saber aura, even when he didn’t target them, they still felt an unstoppable power and made him seem invincible!
This was especially so for Ju Ying who thought that he could at least rival Zhong Yue or perhaps be even slightly stronger than him. Now, with the sudden surge in Zhong Yue’s strength, his remaining confidence was crushed into pieces.
What did Brother Zhong go through that pushed him to such a high level?
Yu Bochuan, Shi Yinji and the others admired him, He is indeed a harbinger of misfortune. With their confidence and heart in his clutches, they’d lost the upper hand and were doomed for the upcoming battle!
This time, their destination was Hall of Martial Perform in heaven court where the Realm Monarch Bo Luo would check on his great army. They were requested to gather there because only a large place was capable of housing such a large number of participants.
“Not bad! Strong saber aura and extraordinary skills!”
Just as Zhong Yue and his companions were about to enter the Hall of Martial Perform, a voice rang out and they saw a young man walking towards them.
The young man glanced across the group before finally stopping at Zhong Yue, “Too bad you’re a little too cold blooded. Don’t you think that what you did was too cruel? You ripped a hole in their hearts, now, all it takes will be just one single tiny mistake to defeat them or even kill them. Are you not afraid of offending the Realm Monarchs?”
Zhong Yue frowned and Ju Ying who was standing on the other side sneered, “They insulted us first when we did nothing. Lord Yue did not even touch them so why are you blaming him?”
