Rise of Humanity

Feng Wuji was overjoyed, he quickly said, “Xiao Mang grand ancestor said that within half a year’s time, he will be possessing me! I humbly plead teacher to wipe him away before he does so!”

“A few months? That’s a little longer than expected, I cannot stay long here…" the strange eye mulled and said, “I have orders to pull back as this planet of yours will truly be turned into a wasted planet soon. A stronger existence is on his way here, the Divine Tree of Knowledge and Skymetrical Scroll will cut off this planet’s link to the heaven’s laws and the rest of the universe.”

Feng Wuji was shocked, he pounded his head on the ground and said in panic, “Teacher, if you leave, I will die for sure!”

“I have my orders, this is unchangeable." The strange eye suddenly laughed, “But be at ease, I will not dump you to die here. You will be given two decrees, one for you to fight back and possess Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s power; and the other, you can use it to leave the Ancestral Star. After that, I will bring you to the Zi Wei Imperial Star…”

As it spoke, the strange eye closed and when it opened again, the eyeball was gone. But two rays of golden light flashed out and landed in front of Feng Wuji, they were two golden decrees.

Feng Wuji quickly keep them nicely and was overjoyed, he knelt down and thanked, “Teacher, I still don’t know your name…”

“Me? I heed no orders from the Heavenly Monarch nor do I belong to the underworld. I am born with the ancient gods, and friends to the realm emperors. I am the one that had a feast with Realm Emperor Bo Luo when he came for the imperial tomb. My name is Tu Yu, Repress Tomb Commander. My words go past the Heavenly Monarch and directly reaches the heavens!”

The eye closed away and disappeared. The smoke from the incense stick has also returned to normal.

“Once you’ve reached Zi Wei, you will inevitably come to understand the kind of figure I am. My good disciple, I will be waiting for your arrival…”

…

Outside of the solar system, a godly palace was floating in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly, it shuddered and moved away at a great speed, disappearing into the endless space in just seconds.

Feng Wuji’s demon incarnation kept the two decrees and left for the West Barren right away.

After taking over Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s cultivation base, what level will I be at? I will be unstoppable in the Ancestral Star! Feng Wuji guffawed and thought ambitiously, Tu Yu’s words can reach directly to the heavens without going through the Heavenly Monarch, it truly proves what a strong figure he is. For me to be able to have him as my teacher, my future is bound to be limitless! Shame, I can’t take over Tu Yu’s power as well. Just imagine how strong I will be if I am able to do so!

He had met Tu Yu during one of his training trips in the Ancestral Star. Feng Wuji fell into an ancient tomb and found the tomb owner’s remains and the altar with the half-burnt incense stick.

He burned the incense stick and Tu Yu appeared out of nowhere, telling him that fate had brought them together. It was then that Tu Yu had imparted him with the【Skills of Diction】.

…

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue was sitting on the back of the Jiao Dragon he visualized, moving toward Swords Gate Mountain.

“Patriarch Nature is really strong, his attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnations are beyond my current reach!" Zhong Yue praised as he inspected the six secret realms of Patriarch Nature.

Patriarch Nature’s boundary was far beyond what he could fathom, to full attain the secrets of Patriarch Nature’s Six Paths Reincarnations would be a gargantuan endeavor. However, Zhong Yue still managed to gain some enlightenment after having spent some time studying it.

Patriarch Nature’s six Yuan Shen secret realms were cultivated into the Six Paths Reincarnations—Dao Yi Reincarnation, Yin Yang Reincarnation, Shen Cai Reincarnation, Wan Xiang Reincarnation, Wu Xing Reincarnation and Bloodline Reincarnation. These six secret realms, or Six Paths Reincarnations had their own functions and uses.

The Dao Yi Reincarnation was where the Pan Gu god resided, however, he still didn’t know what its use was. The Yin Yang Reincarnation dictated Yin and Yang, and life and death, and the Shen Cai Reincarnation controlled the souls and spirits.

The Wan Xiang Reincarnation regulated the fate and destiny, and the Wu Xing Reincarnation determined the talent and natural endowment of the cultivators. Finally, the Bloodline Reincarnation determined the reincarnated being’s race.

Even just imitating the Six Paths Reincarnations with the six Yuan Shen secret realms required a huge amount of effort. It was impossible for him to do so, at least at his current realm.

Zhong Yue shook his head. Although transforming his six Yuan Shen secret realms into the Six Paths Reincarnations, there were still things he could learn from it to use in his cultivation.

More importantly, he had his hands on the spiritual energy Patriarch Nature sucked from the many living beings and items for tens of thousands of years!

If Patriarch Nature was stronger and had cultivated his mini Six Paths Reincarnations into the flawless Six Paths Reincarnations, he would be able to dominate the creatures of a planet as he wished!

Every facet of their existences, from life and death as well as fortune and misfortune would be under his control!

He could give life to an object and bring death to anyone under his control; he could bless any of the creatures within his world with endless fortune or curse them with endless misfortune.

But all of this was assuming that Patriarch Nature had truly succeeded in cultivating the complete Six Paths Reincarnations. Among the six secret realms, he had only succeeded in cultivating the Yin Yang Realm into the Yin Yang Reincarnation, granting him control of life and death.

“I wonder where someone like Patriarch Nature would stand in the Zi Wei Imperial Star?" Zhong Yue thought.

Other than that, Zhong Yue’s greatest harvest was the spiritual energy inside the mini Six Paths Reincarnations!

For eighty-six thousand years, the City of Nature had been siphoning energy from the Fuxi gods, from Patriarch Nature’s army of gods, the creatures on this continent, and the divine gold mine. One could imagine how abundant the accumulated spiritual energy would be!

These spiritual energies were stored in the Dao Yi Reincarnation. When Zhong Yue entered the Dao Yi Reincarnation, a strong wave of energy blasted right in his face. The kaleidoscopic spiritual energy gathered together into a pool of golden water.

Other than the pool of golden water, there was the Pan Gu god. Patriarch Nature’s huge Pan Gu was cloaked in a golden auric light, and it was on the cusp of actualizing into a physical being!

In contrast, Zhong Yue’s Pan Gu god was like a candle light compared to it!

The power of Six Paths here was abundant, Zhong Yue could literally breath them in, growing his Pan Gu god stronger by the second.

“Studying Patriarch Nature’s Pan Gu god can allow me to understand more of the Six Paths Reincarnations!" Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen flew toward the jade pool and looked over. The spiritual energy in the jade pool was glimmering with a divine light, and the light rays flowed like water while shining with a blinding luminance.

It was similar to the one he saw in the underground of the City of Nature, only brighter.

“Spiritual energy in a light-liquid form? What use does it have?" Zhong Yue looked at the pool of water and hesitated. These spiritual energies came from the dead gods, the divine weapons, creatures on this continent, and the divine gold mine.

Although he knew that they were rare, he didn’t exactly know what use does they had.

“Xin Huo, these spiritual energies and the innate Qi, which is better?" Zhong Yue suddenly asked.

“Of course the innate Qi!" Xin Huo said, “The innate Qi is unobtainable, but the spiritual energy can be extracted from the worldly elements. The innate Qi is of a way higher grade than the spiritual energy. However, this pool of spiritual energy is priceless. It is the the best material to forge treasures. After being extracted by Patriarch Nature, these spiritual energies have become refined into the Golden Origin Water. Although not as strong as innate Qi, it's not too bad still.”

“Golden Origin Water? It can turn things into divine gold?" Zhong Yue startled, and he dipped a piece of metal into the jade pool.

Bright rays dazzled his eyes and that piece of metal was transformed into pure divine gold, one without any impurities!

Zhong Yue was overjoyed, “It can really turn a metal into divine gold!”

Xin Huo, on the other hand, was stunned. He was speechless for seconds, and suddenly, he shouted out loud, “BRAT! Who asked you to dip the metal into it? This pool of Golden Origin Water is Patriarch Nature’s hard work of over eight-thousand years! Yet, you dare to throw a piece of junk to turn it into slightly better junk? If the Golden Origin Water is only capable of doing this, then how can one call it priceless!”

Zhong Yue was enlightened, he quickly threw the piece of divine gold away and said, “Xin Huo, so you mean that the Golden Origin Water isn’t used like this?”

“Of course not!" Xin Huo gritted his teeth and said furiously, “Wouldn’t it be better to just craft and forge the Golden Origin Water itself into a weapon than turning junk into divine gold and then forging them into divine weapons? By doing what you have done, you are just blatantly wasting the Golden Origin Water!”

“Thankfully, not much is wasted still." Zhong Yue was enlightened. The Golden Origin water wasn’t really in the liquid form, it took form in between light and liquid. It probably didn’t even use up a single drip, turning that piece of metal into divine gold.

After the Heavenly Dharma level, it will be the Imminent Deity next. Zhong Yue thought, The Imminent Deity’s state of extremity is the Extreme Dao Soul Weapon. It’s time for me to have my own soul weapon already. No matter how perfect divine weapons are, they still wouldn’t truly be mine.

In order to cultivate the state of extremity in the Imminent Deity level, one must have their own soul weapon and cultivate it to its limit.

Over the ten thousand years of Swords Gate’s history, only ten elders had managed to do so, none of whom were headmasters. But it wasn’t because headmasters were inferior to these ten elders, but that the headmaster was duty-bound to inherit the symbolic weapon of Swords Gate — the Boundless Divine Sword.

After their appointments, the headmasters would have to continue worshipping and cultivating the Great Boundless Divine Sword further. Surely, that would place their own soul weapons at a lower place, stalling them from cultivating the Imminent Deity’s state of extremity.

Furthermore, it required a great deal of effort and passion, similar to that of Fang Jiange, to achieve it as well.

So now, how should I forge the Golden Origin Water? In what form should my soul weapon be in? Zhong Yue pondered deeply.
