Rise of Humanity - Chapter 733

Chapter 733

The [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] is indeed incredible!

Zhong Yue channeled the power of this art and felt the Innate Dao trembling vigorously . His body was not strong enough to channel the power of his art so he relied on his Innate Yuan Shen to activate it but even so, his improvements were beyond his imagination as there was now Innate Qi within his Yuan Shen!

Whether it be Qi Practitioners or gods, no matter how strong they were, their powers were all cultivated bit by bit . They were not born with them .

The only way to achieve Innate Qi was to awaken the Innate True Spirit and Innate True Soul at the same time .

Just this alone was already impossible to most people out there and without the Innate Yuan Shen, all they could do was nurture the Innate Qi given to them by innate gods . Little by little, they would have to cultivate and nurture the Innate Qi to a level where it would be sufficient for combat .

But then again, even the life of a god would come to an end one day and when they passed away, their Innate Qi would be taken back by the innate gods; after an entire life of hard work, the Innate Qi they cultivated so hard would only become feedstock for innate gods .

Zhong Yue was very much different, however . He was the one and only one non-innate living being to have managed to achieve the Innate Yuan Shen, making it no longer exclusive only to the innate gods and making him able to cultivate Innate Qi himself as well!

His energy slowly evolved into Innate Qi but his Innate Qi was split into five types . There was the Innate Yin Qi, Innate Yang Qi, Innate Celestial Qi, and Innate Demon Qi .

But apart from these four, there was also another type of Innate Qi that Zhong Yue couldn’t figure out .

The Innate Yin Qi was formed because of the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, which was the moon spirit . The Innate Yang Qi was because of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit; that was the sun spirit .

On the other hand, the Innate Celestial Qi matched with his celestial cultivation and the Innate Demon Qi was because of his demonic cultivation .

These four types of Qi represented his four types of cultivation .

Celestial, Demon, Yin and Yang formed his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], and that was the root of his cultivation .

So where did the last Innate Qi come?

This Innate Qi appeared to be extremely vague and it was basically impossible to identify it’s function and element .

Strange, what formed this unknown Innate Qi?

He was confused .

He didn’t even know the fifth Innate Qi appeared even when he only cultivated four types of Qi .

This Innate Qi was completely unknown; its origin was not known, its element was unidentified and its usage was vague .

Zhong Yue tried to stimulate this Innate Qi and used it to cast skills, only to discover that it was entirely powerless .

Forget it, I will just leave it aside first . My cultivation is mainly based on the celestial, demon, Yin and Yang power and I shall continue focusing on these four . If I manage to cultivate everything into Innate Qi, my overall strength will reach new heights!

As his original Qi slowly evolved into Innate Qi, the capacity of his Qi shrunk rapidly; almost a thousand times the amount of Qi was required to turn into Innate Qi; even with the extremely high capacity of his energy, he failed to sustain such a rate of consumption and it did not take long until he realized his volume of energy had plummeted precipitously!

If I convert all my energy into Innate Qi… .

His eyes widened as he ran through a calculation and he lost his voice for a moment, “Then my energy capacity is equivalent to an Inner Core level Qi Practitioner’s!”

He was a little dumbfounded; cultivation level was represented by the capacity of energy and the levels; if he converted all his energy into Innate Qi, his level would not drop back to Inner Core level but his energy capacity will!

Which also meant that even when he was in the Imminent Deity level, his energy was just at the Inner Core level!

Will it take a large amount of Qi if I use the Innate Qi to cast skills?

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes; back then, when he still had a large amount of energy capacity, quite a large sum of energy was required to cast skills and the energy used when he cast three skills was the total energy capacity of an Inner Core level Qi Practitioner .

Thus, if he converted all his energy into Innate Qi, did it meant that he would deplete his energy completely after three moves?

“That surely cannot be the case… . ” murmured Zhong Yue as he tried to comfort himself while he continued his cultivation . Sometime later, he finally turned all his energy into Innate Qi; the Innate Yin, Yang, Celestial and Demon Qi experienced a great hike in power and they all turned into four cosmic streams in his body .

And along with the four Qi, the unknown Innate Qi was also strengthened but its usage and element remained a mystery to him .

Zhong Yue did not bother with this unknown innate Qi for now and he thought,Though they have their own elements, I can still turn these Innate Qi into other powers like the five elements, the heaven, earth, myriad livings, and even Dao through the Six Path Reincarnation . Thus, with the Innate Qi that I have cultivated, I had sort of turned into a full elemental innate spirit body as I could perform all Innate Qi through Six Path Reincarnation!

His confidence surged and he immediately started activating his six great Yuan Shen Secret Realm, launched the Six Path Reincarnation in an attempt to turn his power into the five elements .

Hmmm? Something’s not right… .

His expression became grave; ever since cultivating the Dao totem patterns of Six Paths Reincarnation, it was easy for him to turn every power into a specific power through Six Paths Reincarnation .

And now, he was unable to do so!

Zhong Yue took in a long breath and he repeated the process, only to fail again .

Again and again, he changed another power and each time, he failed .

The Six Paths Reincarnation could not convert Innate Qi’s elements!

Zhong Yue sweated as he came into a conclusion . Although his energy had all evolved into Innate Qi, his Six Paths Reincarnation was as good as destroyed!

The Six Paths Reincarnation was used to unify the all power as one to increase its overall potency . It was the biggest asset of all talented individuals who had achieved all six great Yuan Shen Secret Realms and Six Paths Reincarnation!

And now, with his Six Paths Reincarnation unable to convert Innate Qi, he was now essentially handicapped into being able to only control one portion of his powers at a time!

“Xin Huo! Xin Huo!”

He woke Xin Huo who was sleeping and after telling Xin Huo what happened, he asked, “With your vast experience, you surely know what made my Six Paths Reincarnation like this right?”

Xin Huo thought for a while and he replied with a smile, “I know . This is Bo Xun’s fault . He was born before the creation of Six Paths Reincarnation and he died before that as well, thus, he had no idea about Six Paths Reincarnation . This is the reason . Six Paths Reincarnation was not taken into consideration in his heritage and this is also why you’re unable to convert the elements of Innate Qi freely after cultivating his techniques . ”

With a frown, Zhong Yue replied, “Does that mean that I can only utilize a quarter of my strength at a time?”

“With your energy all turned into Innate Qi, one over four portions of your strength is just slightly weaker than your full strength before you converted your energy into Innate Qi . ” said Xin Huo, “You could convert your Innate Qi into non-Innate Qi freely if you wish . If you want your full strength back, why don’t you just convert your Innate Qi back into normal energy temporarily?”

Zhong Yue immediately put his thought into action and just like what Xin Huo said, his Innate Qi could still be returned into ordinary energy but after turning back into ordinary energy, his Innate Qi remained ununified when it returned to Innate Qi .

Which also meant that the way Xin Huo suggested was only a temporary fix .

“If there is someone who could help you in this matter,” laughed Xin Huo, “It would be Goddess Hou Tu . Fuxi created the Six Path and Houtu completed the Reincarnation before she experienced a complete Reincarnation to get rid of her old body in order to ascend into a Pure Dao God . She was an innate god at the start and after she stepped out another big step forward, she definitely would have come up with a way to convert Innate Qi through Six Paths Reincarnation . However, she is now in the impossible world, and that is somewhere you cannot enter as of yet . ”

Zhong Yue sighed as he could not make up his mind; right now, he felt that the Innate Qi was not as good as he thought . And after realizing that it was impossible to convert freely and it was better off if he used his ordinary power .

“To be fair, there is still another stupid way . ”

Xin Huo suggested, “You can return all your Innate Qi into ordinary energy, and convert them all into one element through the Six Paths . For instance, turn them all into Pure Yang Qi and convert this Pure Yang Qi into Innate Yang Qi . ”

Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up and he immediately tested this theory, which worked!

However, there was one flaw and this flaw was deadly in this method; his speed deteriorated in the process of conversion . There were three steps in the conversion . The steps were to convert Innate Qi into ordinary energy first, then unite them all and turn them all into the corresponding element Innate Qi .

And to all Qi Practitioners that cultivated Six Paths Reincarnation, they only needed to go through the second step when they cast their skills .

In a battle between two equivalent strong individuals, a split second was already more than enough to decide who will live and who will die!

Zhong Yue gave it a thought before he dispersed his Innate Yang Qi and maintained his original form for in such way, he could freely turn his energy into single element energy and convert them into Innate Qi . With only two steps, the time needed was greatly reduced .

But then again, this was still a temporary fix for his problem; his energy reaction speed was still slower than before and that would place him at a serious disadvantage in actual combat .

“If you convert all your energy into a single element Qi, your power now is equivalent to three and a half of before,” added Xin Huo, “The only flaw is that before you manage to complete your conversion, you are already killed by your enemy . Besides, the elements you could convert your Innate Qi into are just the Innate Celestial, Demon, Yin and Yang Qi, not the five elemental Qi, myriad or even Dao . The only way to solve this problem lies within no one else except Goddess Hou Tu . ”

With a nod, Zhong Yue said, “It might be slower but my energy is still there . If an actual fight took place, I will just fight with my ordinary energy, which is still as fast as before . I should still be able to find the right timing to convert and unleash the Innate Qi!”

“That’s another way… . The competition has ended and I must go into slumber now!” Suddenly, Xin Huo returned to the lamp lit of the weathered bronze lamp and slept again .

On the other hand, Zhong Yue who wanted to say something had no other option but to keep his thoughts to himself .

I wanted to ask him just how much difference there is between my power and Si Ming’s now… .
