Rise of Humanity

  Their Qi and Dao then got stronger and stronger as they started to unleash more of their strength, perfecting their own Innate Tai Yang Dao in an attempt to defeat one another.

  As they both refined themselves through battling each other, they made full use of their intelligence, utilizing their potential greatly and their understanding of the Innate Tai Yang Dao skyrocketed!

  Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up and suddenly, he placed his palms before his chest and shouted, “Dao! Dao! Dao! Dao! Dao! Dao!”

  In six shouts, Dao voices rumbled again and lights shot out from his body before the lights turned into six alluring light wheels that entered the Innate Sui Tree and placed it right into the six light wheels.

  With that, the Innate Six Paths Reincarnation that included the Innate Tai Yang Dao was formed and created a complete cycle!

  Finally, Zhong Yue broke his limits and improved himself another step further as he merged the Six Paths Reincarnation with the Innate Tai Yang Dao, forming a complete cycle, which also meant that this time, his level in the Innate Tai Yang Dao had reached a peak he had never imagined!

  Jin Hexi on the other hand, also shouted six times; her Dao words possessed different meanings and wonders and similar to Zhong Yue, her Innate Tai Yang Dao and Six Paths Reincarnation merged together.

  Their Dao voices trembled the skies; innate totem patterns turned into flower petals that showered from the skies and golden spring water gushed out from the Turtle Fishing Platform. As the golden spring water gushed out, golden fiery lotuses blossomed and among the lotuses, a sun emerged.

  This scene was extremely marvelous that it even amazed the many Jinwu Clan’s Creators standing far away from the Turtle Fishing Platform.

  Somewhere further away, Jinwu Clan’s old clan master who was observing this debate sighed, “Hexi’s understanding on this Dao far surpassed me but her foe is also a strong one. He understands the Six Paths Reincarnation before her and if she can’t beat him, then it will be a shame to us Jinwu Clan….”

  His expression was extremely gloomy right now.

  “Extreme Yang to Yin, did fellow Daoist Yi achieve this?” Jin Hexi’s aura changed right away, birthing Yin through extreme Yang, turning her Innate Tai Yang Dao into Innate Tai Yin Dao, crossing the Yin with Yang and grew together like a Tai Chi Picture.

  Zhong Yue groaned and the Six Paths Reincarnation behind him vanished, the sun above him died out. He got up and said, “Impressive, senior martial sister, you’ve won.”

  Jin Hexi was shocked however, she got up right away, bowed back at Zhong Yue and asked, “Why… Thank you.”

  Her beautiful eyes blinked and locked onto Zhong Yue while she transmitted a message to him, “Why did you let me win?”

  Zhong Yue paused in surprise for a second and replied, “How did you know?”

  Chapter 866: Captived |

  “Do you think that my Jinwu Clan will turn hostile after you beat me?”

  Jin Hexi shook her head and continued, “Don’t worry, we are, after all, a monarch race. We won’t be that petty just because you beat me. Why don’t we have another fight again?”

  “You can say that but I definitely can’t do that. I do not want to turn Jinwu Clan into an enemy just because of this.”

  Before she was done talking, the Jinwu Clan’s gods swarmed towards them as they all cheered happily; they surrounded her, sang and danced happily celebrating the victory.

  Without having the time to set down a place and time for a rematch, Jin Hexi was surrounded by her people and congratulations. Even the Creators from Jinwu Clan cast their ego aside and congratulated her.

  Jin Hexi became extremely busy and after a round of cheering, countless Golden Crows flew towards her, lifted her up and carried her back as they kept changing formations.

  Left with no choice, Jin Hexi celebrated with them and the golden clouds floated around, circling around the divine tree rounds and rounds again while the gods from Jinwu Clan sang joyfully.

  Zhong Yue looked at this scene from somewhere far away before he bid farewell with Jin Chufei, “My time here was a great one and I think I should be leaving now after such a long time. Brother Chufei, may our paths cross again in the future.”

  Because he had to keep the guests accompanied, Jin Chufei did not celebrate with his clansmen and he immediately replied, “Brother Yi, losing is nothing to be ashamed of. You are already extraordinary that you used our Dao to talk about Dao, defeat the 18 Creators from our clan. With that, your talent will be known to the world and you’ll be famous.”

  Zhong Yue replied, “Stop flattering me. A minor defeat is still not enough to shake my determination. See you!”

  Jin Chufei immediately sent him off and Yao Xingyue, Mo Haozun, and the others left as well. Jin Chufei sent them all off and he said, “Do drop by whenever you are free! I will treat you to great wine!”

  “Of course!”

  Zhong Yue boarded the carriage and just as Mu Suge was about to leave, Yao Xingyue chased up to them and said, “Does Brother Yi want to come to our clan for a short visit?”

  Mo Haozun busted out laughing and said, “Brother Yi, my clan will be waiting for your arrival! It will be an honor.”

  Fan Bozhu walked towards them with his followers and said, “Our clan was already here long ago. From the Earth Order Era until now, we have become an ancient clan that is on par with the many monarch races.”

  Yu Tai said, “The Dayu Clan loves to have guests and we are not as petty as Jinwu Clan. If you’re free, please come to our Dayu Clan for a visit.”

  Zhong Yue thanked them all one by one and he said, “I am honored but I’m afraid that I might have to let you all down as I have some matters to attend now. However, if I receive word about the Third Prince Mu, I will notify everyone right away!”

  Everyone laughed and said, “Mister Yi is really impressive!”

  “If that’s how it is, then so be it. We will meet again someday!”

  They all boarded their own ride and left while Zhong Yue pulled the curtains and said, “Let’s go.”

  Mu Suge immediately asked, “Where to, master?”

  “We shall decide after leaving the Jinwu Clan.”

  Mu Suge was puzzled but he did not question his master’s decision. He drove the carriage away and before leaving Jinwu Clan’s territory, Mu Suge stopped the carriage and said, “Master, there is an old man blocking the path.”

  Zhong Yue lifted the curtain and walked out, only to be confronted by an old man who had his hands behind his back, his clothes waved even when there was no wind.

  “Greetings, leader of the Jinwu Clan.” bowed Zhong Yue.

  “Not bad, you actually know who I am.” said the old man.

  Zhong Yue replied, “Though I am not strong, I can still notice your distinctive aura, elder. One who possesses such aura is definitely no one ordinary. It doesn’t take much to deduce that you are the Jinwu Clan’s clan master.”

  The old man smiled and said friendly, “The Yi Clan’s disciples are indeed extraordinary. My name is Jin Yaoxian, the incumbent clan master of Jinwu Clan and I am here to thank you. My Jinwu Clan very much appreciates you for not embarrassing us.”

  He looked at the divine tree where his people celebrated Jin Hexi’s victory and said calmly, “These fools, they know nothing about how what really happened during that battle you had with Jin Hexi, but I can see it clearly. If you wanted to win, you definitely had a way but you dispersed your innate sun so that the girl can win, so thank you.”

  Zhong Yue pretended to be stunned and he shouted, “I don’t understand. Senior Martial Sister Jin Hexi beat me fair and square. What she pulled off was absolutely amazing! I may have mastered the Innate Tai Yang Dao, but I have yet to fully acquire the quintessence of it. Hence, I know that I stand no chance against her upon seeing her moves. Instead of being defeated by her, I might as well surrender so that I don’t end up with injuries.”

  As he spoke, the old Jinwu Clan’s clan master star
ed at him with a sharp gaze as if the clan master could see all Zhong Yue’s secrets.

  Zhong Yue remained calm and he appeared to be a little embarrassed. After a moment, the clan master said, “Little friend, your Innate Tai Yang Dao is most likely inherited, am I right?”

  Zhong Yue nodded, “Indeed but with my talent, I failed to acquire its true essence.”

  Jin Yaoxian sighed and said, “But it is still impressive that you cultivated it to such an extent. Even within our Jinwu Clan, only Jin Hexi could outperform you in this field. Anyway, I will let you go now. Please.”

  Zhong Yue bowed and after boarding the carriage, he said, “Elder, see you next time.”

  Mu Suge bowed at Jin Yaoxian before left with the carriage he controlled.

  After a moment, Zhong Yue looked towards the outside through the window and upon seeing no one, especially the old clan master, he sighed and said, “We’re lucky that we are alive.”

  Mu Suge immediately said, “Master, the Jinwu Clan’s clan master….”

  “He did not come as a friend.”

  With a steady tone, Zhong Yue explained, “He couldn’t be completely certain if I really lost in the debate so he came to make sure of it. If I admitted that I could’ve beaten Jin Hexi, we would be dead by now.”

  “How dare he!?” shouted Mu Suge who had a scare.

  “Why wouldn’t he?” replied Zhong Yue, “Jinwu Clan is the spirit within the flame, their understanding towards Yang is supposedly the most profound in the universe. Their expertise in this field is something that every other race has accepted as divine truth. If it was found out that an outsider had beaten them, then the Jinwu Clan would suddenly be ranked the second place. Do you think Jin Yaoxian would accept that? Even if I am the heir of the ancient celestial race, Yi Clan, he will not let me walk away alive. After all, with the innate celestial monarch still alive, the Jinwu Clan definitely has the power to declare war against the Yi Clan.

  A shiver traveled down Mu Suge’s spine and this time, he finally felt scared but suddenly, he realized something and he asked, “Master, you said that you could win against Jin Hexi? Do you mean to say that you have achieved what she achieved?”

  “Extreme Yang engenders Yin — forming the Tai Chi. Yes, I achieved this much earlier than that girl did.”

  Zhong Yue said, “Your Highness, you do not have to call me master anymore. Jin Yaoxian is not following us so you can remove your disguise now.”

  Mu Suge let out a relieved breath and after recovering his original face, he said, “Where should we go now, Mister?”

  Zhong Yue released the insect god given to him by Fu Li and said, “Follow this insect, we are going to meet the humans in the ancient universe to have them serve us!”

  Meanwhile, beside the Fusang Divine Tree, the celebration slowly came to an end and Jin Hexi left her people, found the clan master and said, “Clan master, if I lost in the debate with Brother Yi, embarrassed our clan, what would you have done?”

  Jin Yaoxian replied friendly, “How is that possible? You were taught by the celestial monarch for such a long time and your understandings on this subject have already far surpassed mine. If you lost, then no one can win, including me.”

  Jin Hexi then asked again, “But do you have no backup plan if I really lost? As a clan master, you surely wouldn’t let it slide?”

  Jin Yaoxian looked at her and replied, “As the clan master, I do have to make preparations. You, as the future clan master, should know this. If he beat you, he would be dead for sure! Apart from him, the others will have to be killed too. But that is if you really lost. If that happened, then that would have to be kept a secret at any cost, even it that cost is offending another monarch race!”

  Jin Hexi then slowly bowed after a moment, “… Understood.”

  “No, you understand nothing.”

  Jin Yaoxian smiled and added, “You thought I was doing this to protect our reputation? Wrong. I am not that petty. The only reason I’m doing this was because this advantage is our only capital as a monarch race. If an outside race surpasses us, we will have to kill this race because that is part of our responsibilities as clan mater. Why did the conqueror, the Fuxi Celestial Race that dominated the entire Earth Order Era fall? That was because their secrets became known to everyone!”

  “If the secrets of our race are to be exposed, then we will not be far away from extinction. The Fuxi Celestial Race created the Six Paths Reincarnation and pushed it to the world, teaching it to everyone without discrimination. This caused other races to discard the old Dao techniques, making them sneak into the Fuxi Celestial Race to steal their powerful arts. That was the reason why that hegemon is now a relic of the past.”

  Jin Yaoxian stared into Jin Hexi’s eyes and said, “As my successor, there will be times where you have to do things you may not want to for the greater good of the race you serve. You will have to place the race’s future first, before your own.”

  Jin Hexi’s heart tightened up and this time, with a lower bow, she said, “Hexi understands now.”

  With a wave of hand, Jin Yaoxian dismissed Jin Hexi.

  Meanwhile, Mu Suge chased after the insect god as he controlled the carriage. As a Deity Overlord existence, this insect god possessed incredible speed, its wings sliced through the void but as a Creator, it was no problem for Mu Suge to tail behind this insect god.

  After about a month’s time, they traveled quickly but even until now, they were in the middle of nowhere and there was still no sight of the humans.

  Mu Suge frowned and suddenly, the dimension beside him exploded before a huge hand grabbed towards him after breaking the void.

  This hand was incredibly muscular, thick and powerful with Daos wrapping around it. Upon seeing this hand, Mu Suge’s expression changed and with a palm attack, he slammed his palm towards the massive hand, creating a loud explosion before a muscular wild man stepped out from the dimension.

  Krong—

  The galaxy trembled and with the bone club in his hand, the wild human swung it down towards Mu Suge’s head and said, “Prince Suge, I appreciate your efforts for bringing yourself right into our trap! I can really sell you off for a good price!”

  Mu Suge’s expression changed right away but to his horror, one after another wild human walked out from the void and hurled massive chains towards him.

  He immediately revealed his 18 arms, grabbed onto these chains but he was completely occupied with that right away, allowing Fu Li’s bone club to be swung onto his face, knocking him out for a second. The other wild humans also slammed their weapons towards him. Mu Suge immediately fended off the attacks but was still chained up.

  Fu Li immediately slammed his bone club on his head for about four to five times, almost slamming his Yuan Shen out from his body but even his Yuan Shen was chained and locked within his body.

  The many wild humans swarmed him and tied him onto a stick before two muscular wild humans carried him away.

  How did they know that I am the third prince?

  Mu Suge was dumbfounded and suddenly, something struck him, The insect god! It saw my real face back then and my own men betrayed me! These bastards!

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue stood on the carriage with an empty mind as if he hadn’t recollected his thoughts yet.

  Suddenly, he shouted, “Your Highness, don’t worry! Whether it be dragon lair or tiger den, I will definitely get you out and keep you safe from harm!”

  Mu Suge was extremely grateful at him right away and he shouted, “Mister, no! Quickly tell this to my father!”

  Fu Li immediately removed his shoe and stuffed it into Mu Suge’s mouth.

  Zhong Yue shouted, “Fu Li, what you want is money, don’t you dare humiliate our prince! Treat him nicely and I will come for you with the money you seek!”

  Fu Li laughed happily and replied, “Brat Yi, I will be waiting for you in the Star Torrent Fortress! If the money you bring does not satisfy us, I will not kill him but I will sell him off
to the highest bidder!”

  Chapter 867: Sinner |

  With Mu Suge captured, the many wild humans left quickly and disappeared from the scene.

  Zhong Yue let out a relieved breath, With the prince taken away, I can now take a look at the Drawings of Heavenly Daos and the bead that Si Ming gave me.

  He had no plans to go rescue Mu Suge at the moment as the third prince did nothing but hinder him, preventing him from doing anything he wanted to.

  Now that Mu Suge was gone, Zhong Yue finally had his own free time.

  There were countless uninhabited planets in the ancient universe; after finding himself a planet, he descended upon it and with a flip of his hand, a divine palace emerged from the ground and Zhong Yue entered it, but not before he planted seals all over. If someone entered this palace, Zhong Yue would immediately know.

  After arranging everything, Zhong Yue took out the bead and examined it carefully.

  This is a complete Six Paths Heavens? To think that it was cultivated to such extent, impressive.

  He thought for a while before he suddenly lifted the bead with his psyche and reached his head into the bead.

  As his head touched the bead, it felt like his head breached through a universe’s barrier and arrived at a Six Paths galactic system. There were countless stars that formed six ring stellar systems, and in the center of the rings sat a giant Fuxi Celestial Being!

  Like chains, the starlight immobilized this Fuxi celestial by unleashing complicated totem patterns that pierced through his muscles, bloodline, veins, and bones!

  His Yuan Shen and even all his skills were all shackled by the Six Paths Reincarnation Stellar System, trapping him within this micro-universe for eternity!

  It’s really a Fuxi Clan’s monarch….

  Zhong Yue entered the micro-universe and looked at this Fuxi giant.
