Rise of Humanity - Chapter 718

Chapter 718

Not long later, a handsome young man entered the courtroom . It was the weird emissary that requested him to cut a page from the Book of Life and Death when he first entered Hell .

Under the order of Realm Monarch Helian Yun Shan, the 17th prince became the one in charge of investigating the Chang Geng escape incident, “Previously, I’ve assigned you as the inspector to investigate in the corruption in Hell, but in the end, chaos erupted and numerous sinister individuals like He Lan and the others broke free . Now, the mastermind behind everything emerged once again, liberated traitor Chang Geng, and humiliated the entire Wei Shen Six Paths World . Don’t ever come back unless you find the culprit!”

“Understood,” said Helian Tianzheng as soon as he received his order .

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue calmed himself down and after a moment, he fully recovered and Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud who returned to his place stood protectively around him in formation .

Now, Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud were extremely loyal to him, thus, Zhong Yue felt very safe while he cultivated under their protection .

Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan might have exaggerated when he praised my skills . There are many who are much more capable than I am and there is bound to be more than one person whose saber techniques are superior to mine .

Zhong Yue opened his eyes and murmured, “But everything they know about me is the old me, not me now . ”

He had finally entered the final level of Qi Practitioners before becoming a god, the Imminent Deity level!

With the Innate True Soul awakened, there was not much use of remaining in the True Spirit level anymore, thus, Zhong Yue no longer suppressed his cultivation back and advanced right into the last level while he recovered himself .

Apart from that, his Imminent Deity extreme state, which was also the Extreme Weapons, had also been achieved; it was a level where soul weapons are fortified, nurtured and cultivated to the extreme state .

The Ten Ominous Weapons in Swords Gate were also the Extreme Weapons, but without a proper heritage to cultivate the Extreme Weapons, the Ten Ominous Weapons contained deadly flaws .

While they’ve proven themselves to be powerful, these weapons would consume their owners if they lost in battle . This was all because of the lack of a proper cultivation heritage, the elders of Swords Gate had cultivated these swords into demonic weapons .

But Zhong Yue’s Extreme Weapon was different; his had no flaws and because of that, once he achieved the Imminent Deity level, he would be able to achieve the extreme state easily .

The Extreme Weapons were named as such because apart from the fact that they were on the extreme state, the Dao totem patterns were required to maintain and nurture them .

However, this too, was achieved by Zhong Yue as he managed to cultivate a Dao of Six Paths Reincarnations .

Thus, in this advancement, he seemed to have only achieved in reaching the Imminent Deity level but in truth, he had also achieved the extreme state of the Imminent Deity level!

And this had once again brought a huge surge in his overall strength, which was also why he dared to say that everything they knew about him was already obsolete .

Though his strength did not increase by a few times, he was still very confident that his strength had increased by fifty percent!

“Xin Huo, at this rate, how am I compared to Si Ming at the same level?” asked Zhong Yue confidently .

To his disappointment and shock, Xin Huo shook and replied, “If you were still in the True Spirit level, you are about two times weaker than her, but now, you are at least three times weaker! There is still room for improvement in you . ”

The harsh reply shook Zhong Yue immediately and after losing his words for a few seconds, Zhong Yue asked hurriedly, “How is that possible? How was the gap widened when I entered the Imminent Deity level?”

“It’s very simple . You have reached the maximum level in the True Spirit level to an extent where there was no more room for any improvement . Even among the many seniors before you or even the Heavenly Emperor of the Fuxi Clan, you were the best at this level . ”

Xin Huo smiled and said, “But upon entering the Imminent Deity level, you essentially restarted at zero again, which resulted in a larger gap of power between you and Si Ming . If you cultivated as hard as you would like before, the gap will inevitably close . ”

Hearing this, Zhong Yue let out a long breath for he felt what Xin Huo said was completely right . In truth, what he achieved right now was already marvelous enough; Si Ming was a pure blooded Fuxi who did not have her bloodline sealed . Moreover, she cultivated the Heavenly Monarch-level techniques with also an imperial spirit .

As for Zhong Yue?

He had barely unsealed thirty percent of his Fuxi bloodline, had cultivated [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art], and [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] . The [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art] only had the art without techniques and the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] was something he created on his own, a technique that was barely in the emperor-level .

His spirits, the Sun Moon Twin Spirit, were just ordinary spirits that were not innate spirits and they only became elevated to such through Zhong Yue’s perseverance .

But of course, his spirits still could not compare to the imperial spirit .

With such inferior techniques, arts, bloodline and even spirits, Zhong Yue only managed to outdo Si Ming in his successful attempt to revert his soul into the innate state .

Other than that, after upgrading his arts, techniques, bloodline, and spirits, Zhong Yue was confident that he will outperform Si Ming in no time!

“Brat Yue, the real challenge comes only when you closed your gaps to about two times,” said Xin Huo as he could not hold himself back from attacking Zhong Yue’s confidence, “When the gap between the two of you is reduced to that much, it means that you have basically achieved everything you could and any improvements will prove difficult! At that time, it might even be way harder to maintain the same level as her, let alone outperforming her . ”

Zhong Yue, however, was unaffected by his callous words, and he burst out laughing, “Xin Huo, stop trying to put me down . If I cultivate the same level arts and techniques as her, I will be nowhere weaker than her even if I do not fully awaken my bloodline! By the way, now that I remember, what kind of technique did you use to refine my body?”

“So you want to learn? I’ll teach you, but under one condition!” shouted Xin Huo happily, “All you have to do is just give birth to a dozen little Fuxis . If this condition is met, be it just the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] or a hundred of it, I will teach them all to you!”

“A bunch of little Fuxis… . ” murmured Zhong Yue with an empty mind, “It’s not like I can do it with a snap . Please stop pushing me… . ”

“That’s why you gotta work harder!”

Zhong Yue was speechless and he decided not to bother with this mad little flame anymore, Now, I can start cultivating the Pure Yang Yuan Shen .

He figured, In order to do that, I will have to cultivate the Extreme Weapons, Pure Yang Yuan Shen and the Dao totem patterns . With all three paths achieved, I will be able to reach the Pure Yang deity state .

With the Extreme Weapons and Dao totem patterns achieved, all he had left was the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, and he estimated that this would not be that difficult to achieve .

The Imminent Deity extreme states must have something extraordinary that I have yet to achieve or discover, for example, the Pure Yang mortal body?

He blinked his eyes as he felt that this was one of the more plausible explanations and that perhaps he could gain something by researching and experimenting .

There were also the two divine sabers that could still be improved; after his body was refined by Xin Huo, the two sabers had become slightly too light for him and he could once again reforge his sabers with the Golden Origin Water .

Other than that, he would have to continue developing and uncovering the hidden potential of the Innate True Soul!

After cultivating the Innate Yuan Shen, he started cultivating the Innate Qi where he would turn the Yin and Yang Qi into Innate Yin and Yang Qi .

Besides, he also had a drop of Goddess Shen Hou’s innate celestial blood . It was just that he didn’t have the time to extract the Huaxu Celestial Race’s bloodline from the blood .

The Huaxu Celestial Race was one of the two ancestors of Fuxi, thus, the essence in their blood contained enormous energy that would purify and enhance the Fuxi celestial blood!

These were all ways to cultivate himself!

“Who are you?”

Suddenly, Heavenly King Lu’s shout came from the outside, which caught Zhong Yue’s attention right away before another voice laughed and said, “The name is Helian Tianzheng, the 17th son of Realm Monarch . Under the order of the Realm Monarch, I am charged with investigating the attack on the prison . ”

“The 17th son of the Realm Monarch?” The Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud mocked derisively as didn’t even bother hiding their hostility .

“Helian Tianzheng? Tianzheng?” Zhong Yue murmured .

His heart skipped a beat as he recalled White Wu Chang, the one he ran into when he first infiltrated Hell and who went by the name of Emissary Tian Zheng . As Zhong Yue thought of it, his expression turned strange, Could it be him? Why is he here? Perhaps… .

Immediately, he felt unease as he also recalled that this emissary had seen him performing the [Dragon Shears] before!

Back then, when Zhong Yue entered the Six Path Building, this emissary was there as well . He even requested Zhong Yue to cut a page from the Book of Life and Death and witnessed Zhong Yue casting the [Dragon Shears]!

Moreover, the emissary was very fond of the skill and thought that it was extraordinary!

And the most crucial point was that Zhong Yue had also performed this technique in the Heaven Realm!

Besides, he had no clue if Xin Huo performed this technique during the lightning tribulations!

Thus, if this 17th prince happened to be the same Emissary Tian Zheng he met in Hell, then Zhong Yue’s cover would be blown!

“Heavenly King Lu, please, welcome him nicely,” said Zhong Yue all in a sudden, “Let him in first and if he came with any ill intent, I will give out a signal by dropping my cup . Upon receiving my signal, you will swarm him and kill him right away! By that time, we will all be labeled rebels and we will have to fight our way out of the Wei Shen Six Paths World!”

Right away, Heavenly King Lu and the others’ stood up straight and nodded .

Along with numerous footsteps that gradually closed in, a young man walked into the palace with Heavenly King Lu and the remaining Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud in tow . Helian Tianzheng however, maintained the smile on his face and he said, “Brother Zhong, it has been a long time . ”

Surprised, Zhong Yue immediately replied, “My prince, I assume we have yet to meet each other before but it is still an honor for you to pay a visit . Please, come in and have some hot tea . ”

The prince then took a seat and Zhong Yue filled the prince’s cup before he filled his own . Then, he raised his cup and asked, “If I may ask, have you found the culprit behind the prison hijack?”

“Of course,” replied Helian Tianzheng as smile crawled onto his face, “I am here to visit the traitorous culprit today . ”

Zhong Yue too, maintained a smile on his face and just as he was about to throw his cup to signal Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud to galvanized into actions, Helian Tianzheng smiled and said, “I said I was here to pay him a visit, not to expose him . So why don’t you put your cup down, Brother Zhong?”
