Rise of Humanity

“Tu Zhenghong of the Xuji Galaxy! I heard that he cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation here as well, but he just died like that?”

“Qing Zhu of the Tian Er Galaxy, he is killed as well. There is no physical wounds, so it must be his Yuan Shen that was destroyed!”

“One of the top ten beauties of the Prison Realm, Saint Lady Qing Xuan! She died too? Nice, nice, she’s not mine anyway.”

…

Ma Sansou could recognize the dead along the way as he walked toward Zhong Yue. The Blood Bone Evil God was standing in front of a stone tablet with his hands on the back, reading the words engraved on the tablet. Even after a bloody massacre, his bones were still without a single blood stain.

“The Stone Tablet of Six Paths Bitterness? Is this the Six Paths Stone Tablet made by King Geng himself?” Ma Sansou was agitated, he inspected the stone tablet and explained to Zhong Yue, “This stone tablet was carved by King Geng, it recorded his attainments of the Six Paths Reincarnation. Being able to study it is said to be a fortune on par with the treasures of the Ancient Land of God Graves! I’ve heard of it for a long time but never thought I would ever have the chance to actually see it.”

Zhong Yue looked at the Stone Tablet of Six Paths Bitterness and praised. Although he had never met King Geng before, he could tell just how extraordinary he was just by looking at the stone tablet.

The Stone Tablet of Six Paths Bitterness spoke of the abstrusities of the Six Paths Reincarnation, some of the knowledge written on it was even deeper than Zhong Yue’s attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation!

It seems like King Geng was also an expert cultivator. Furthermore, for him to be able to leave such a marvelous stone tablet for his followers to study was a testament to his benevolence toward his followers.

However, he did hide the most crucial points. A lot of these questions within these knowledge were not well clarified or even answered. King Geng still kept a hand in the dark from his followers.

Zhong Yue finished reading the stone tablet and attained the knowledge in it, and he abruptly asked, “When was this stone tablet created?”

Ma Sansou quickly replied, “Three years ago! Three years ago, King Geng invited his guests over for a feast and created the stone tablet that day. Even a few of the emperor-level reincarnated cultivators praised his attainments.”

“Three years ago?” Zhong Yue suddenly felt pressured. If three years ago, King Geng’s attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation were already on par with his were right now, then what about now?

The Ancient Land of God Graves was filled with treasures, fortunes that could easily boost one’s strength were everywhere. In these three years, King Geng wouldn’t still be on the same level, his strength and insight would have surely taken a leap!

“Amazing,” Zhong Yue praised, “No wonder he is said to be the strongest Qi Practitioner of the Prison Realm, he truly is amazing!”

Ma Sansou looked carefully at the stone tablet, trying to memorize every word, but these words was no ordinary writing. They were written down by King Geng, every single line that formed the words contained a part of the knowledge within the stone tablet. Thus, all the attainments and knowledge were fully fused with the stone tablet itself.

Furthermore, the abstrusities within the words themselves could still be reformed into deeper meanings. Thus, making it even difficult to attain or even memorize the attainments in the stone tablet!

“If you like it so much, then just bring it along with you.” Zhong Yue said.

“Easier said than done!” Ma Sansou quickly said, “The stone tablet was made by King Geng himself, every word is forged from his skills. To bring this stone tablet away means fighting against the skills he left in the stone tablet. How could that be easy?”

As soon as he finished, Zhong Yue had already reached his hand out for the stone tablet.

The Stone Tablet of Six Paths Bitterness flared out brightly and the words leaped out from the tablet. They were shrouded with everchanging totem patterns and formed into a Six Paths Wheel.

At that instant, Ma Sansou’s heart thumped in fear of death. He could vaguely see the image of a supreme emperor emerging before him, its appalling aura strangled him on his throat and trampled on his dignity!

Krong—

A loud boom crashed into his ears followed by an incredible impact wave, and the corpses around were hurled out from the palace!

Even Ma Sansou was pushed back and slammed onto the wall, the impact wave pressed him against the palace wall and he couldn’t even lift his fingers off the wall surface.

The impact force fractured all of his bones, he could feel his chest being compressed to a point it became hard for him to breath.

After a long time, the impact wave started to cease and grew weaker. Then, a few moments later, the palace turned quiet again.

Ma Sansou moved away from the wall and looked toward Zhong Yue. There, the Blood Bone Evil God was still standing on the same spot whereas the stone tablet’s power was sealed. Although godly rays still revolved around the words, the stone tablet’s power wouldn’t be able to be unleashed anymore.

Zhong Yue picked up the stone tablet and hurled it to Ma Sansou, then he said, “Lead the way.”

Ma Sansou quickly hugged the stone tablet in his arms and uttered in shock, “You’ve suppressed the stone tablet! Are you even stronger than King Geng?”

Zhong Yue shook his head and his psyche spoke, “Just stronger than the King Geng three years ago. Furthermore, this is just a stone tablet he left behind not his body. It’s impossible for him to still be the same without any improvements after three years. I might still be weaker than him now.”

Ma Sansou was still shocked, he put down the stone tablet and said, “I only heard that the lower realm is somewhere in this area, but I do not know where it is precisely. It’s situated inside of a flower. Leaping into the flower leads you into that lower realm you are looking for.”

Zhong Yue’s psyche swept across the area, scanning every single inch of it. Immediately, he detected the flower Ma Sansou was referring and moved toward it.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the front of a lotus pond. The lotuses were in bloom and one of them instantly caught their attention. It had many layers that stacked atop one another, as if it had continually bloomed without undergoing any withering between each bloom.

“The Undying Flower!” Ma Sansou exclaimed.

The flower was known as the Undying Flower. It started blooming even before the creation of the Six Paths Reincarnation and contained a realm within its heart, a lower realm created by the ancient figure during the experimentation of the Six Paths Reincarnation.

Seeing that Zhong Yue had found his target, Ma Sansou gave a series of dry laughs and said, “I think I’ll stay here. I’m afraid I won’t be able to exit the realm after absorbing the spiritual energy in it.”

Whereas Zhong Yue strode toward the flower while answering indifferently, “King Geng will arrive soon after, death will be your only ending if you stay.”

Ma Sansou shivered in fear, he then gritted his teeth and followed Zhong Yue. The two of them walked into the Undying Flower and disappeared.

Meanwhile, inside a glassy palace, Concubine Han and Zhen Yao were surrounded by many Qi Practitioners in the center. The two of them were much stronger than before but were still helpless against the enemies that have outnumbered them.

They were the first to discover the glassy palace, it was a place blessed with immense spiritual energy. However, the Qi Practitioners found them right after and trapped them within the palace, barring all paths of escape.

“Senior Martial Sister Zhen Yao, this is none of your business. If you leave now, the king can spare your life.” One of the Qi Practitioners shouted, “It’s been fifty thousand years since your first life, even your soul age is now reaching its end, isn’t? There is no need for you to die for Concubine Han!”

Zhen Yao gave a cold sneer, she replied coldly, “I’ve made a deal with her to look after each other’s back. If I leave when she is in trouble, I will then break my promise. But I have no intent to go back on my word!”

“The Old Demon Zhen Yao that slaughtered countless being is speaking of promises? How ridiculous.” A handsome young man shrouded with starlight walked over. It felt as if he was the center of a galaxy with countless little stars orbiting around him.

He looked at the two ladies and said placidly, “Zhen Yao, even if you’ve joined hands with Concubine Han, the two of you are still no match for me. Resist and death will be inevitable. This has nothing to do with you, it’s the conflicts between me and the Realm Monarch. You can still step aside now.”

Concubine Han’s face was pale like snow, while Zhen Yao replied frigidly, “King Geng, how are you a man for you to take vengeance on the Realm Monarch’s concubine rather than the Realm Monarch himself! If you are really a man, you should be looking for the Realm Monarch!”

The young man was none other than King Geng, the late Realm Monarch’s younger brother. He smiled and explained, “The Realm Monarch? Of course I will be looking for him! However, I will also claim his concubine for myself. I’ve lost to him in the contest for the throne of Realm Monarch, and I fully concede to my defeat. However, he framed me as a rebel, destroying my mortal body and banishing me to the Prison Realm. Naturally, I have to seek vengeance for myself. Although, I didn’t intend to claim his concubine for free; Concubine Han, if you give in yourself now and pledge your loyalty, I will make you my only wife after I saly the Realm Monarch and claim the throne! If you agree, then walk out of the Crystal Prism Palace.”

Concubine Han shook her head and declined, “Once a husband and wife, always a husband and wife. I plead King Geng to spare our lives and return our freedom.”

King Geng frowned, while one of his followers smirked and criticized, “Concubine Han, why are you still putting on airs? You’ve been banished by the Realm Monarch and are forbidden from leaving the Prison Realm. Don’t tell me that you hold no grudges against the Realm Monarch. Furthermore, you’ve poisoned the prince and killed him before he even got to see this world. Your heart is darker than a witch’s, how do you even speak of devotion to the Realm Monarch?”

Concubine Han shook her head, “I am fully devoted to my husband, it’s natural for me to poison the prince so that I can have his full love.”

Just as King Geng was going to answer, his expression changed and his face stiffened up, “Interesting, interesting. Someone just suppressed and sealed my Stone Tablet of Six Paths Bitterness. Could it be Li Tianxing or Fa Huasheng? Or is it someone else? The stone tablet I’ve left behind has been sealed, that means my followers in the palace are most probably killed as well. How audacious of them!”

He led the crowd and left while laughing, “Concubine Han, you will follow me as well!”

As he spoke, the starlight around him stagnated in mid-air, and the images of gods appeared above it. The phantoms reached their hands out and combined into another giant hand that broke right through the Crystal Prism Palace and captured the two ladies!

The ladies unleashed their powers togetherly but was still suppressed within the giant hand in just the matter of seconds!

“The Innate Constellation Spirit Body?” Zhen Yao’s face changed drastically and exclaimed with shock.

“No.” King Geng shook and laughed, “It’s the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body. A physique that is rare even throughout all 3000 Six Path Worlds.”

At the same time, Zhong Yue and Ma Sansou had entered the realm inside the Undying Flower.

A rainbow bridge formed by godly rays drew a beautiful arc across the sky, Zhong Yue stood on the bridge and glanced around.

It was very much different from the Bone Realm, the environment in here was just like a natural paradise. Verdant grass paved across the land with flowers blooming beautifully; the mountains were tall and surrounded by fluffy clouds.

“Hmm? The powers of Six Paths and Reincarnation are near perfection in here.” Zhong Yue was surprised. It seems like this lower realm was created by the ancient figure in the latter days of the experiments, that’s why the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation were near perfection.

However, the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation were still divided and hadn’t been merged.

This was also what made it impossible for the Qi Practitioners to break free from the lower realm after absorbing the spiritual energy in here!
