Rise of Humanity

“Wanjun?” murmured the puzzled Zhong Yue as he looked at Jun Wudao only to receive a slightly angry stare from Jun Wudao who replied coldly, “That’s my original name.”

An alluring lady was then led to them under the guidance of Hu Sanweng and this lady said, “Lord Yue, so you knew nothing about Wanjun’s real name? The Tian Suo Celestial Race uses Yi and Bu as their surnames, among which Yi held a higher prestige. Jun Wudao’s name was Yi Wanjun before this. At first, I had a scare when I first heard the name Jun Wudao but after looking for more information, my beating heart calmed down after knowing that this person was Wanjun.”

Upon seeing her, Zhong Yue greeted her, “Princess Shi.”

Shi Yinji immediately stepped aside and greeted back, “You are a lord, Lord Yue, there is no need for such formalities. I did not come looking for you today but instead, I came here to meet my best friend. Wanjun, it has been a long time and we have a lot to catch up.

Jun Wudao let out a cold humph and when she walked towards Shi Yinji, she complained, “stop calling my original name, my name is Jun Wudao now!”

“If you are called Jun Wudao, then you are scolding my father as well? It is my dad who wants to marry you, not me.”

Shi Yinji took a quick look at Zhong Yue and she whispered, “So it seems you have a little boyfriend now. Hmm, he has a better look than my father for sure. No wonder you were unwilling to marry my father.”

Jun Wudao blushed and she felt relieved after glancing at Zhong Yue who seemingly heard nothing and she complained again, “Stop your nonsense. I am not so close to him like what you expected. Besides, what’s the use of marrying your father? Just take a look at how many concubines and wives he has!”

Shi Yinji replied with a burst of laughter, “But this little boyfriend of yours is wearing the clothes and shoes you knitted. Don’t deny this because I can recognize this is your knittings. He even kept you by his side! You are now his little pet and sooner or later, you will fall for him!”

Jun Wudao immediately replied, “I don’t like men!”

Then the two ladies walked further and further away as they talked and joked with each other.

Zhong Yue the other hand, murmured, “So the person she offended was the current Realm Monarch. He wanted to marry her but after having his proposal declined, he banished her into the Prison Realm. No wonder she changed her name into Jun Wudao, she’s mocking the Realm Monarch for his petty actions.”

“Brat Yue, Shi Yinji and Jun Wudao are both very suitable for giving birth.” said Xin Huo out of nowhere.

Zhong Yue had a scare immediately and he quickly said, “You are on with your nonsense again, Xin Huo.”

Xin Huo then replied as if he was very experienced, “Wanjun is pretty so the child she gives birth to will definitely have a nice appearance while Shi Yinji has huge boobs and butt. Both are good for giving birth. Your Junior Martial Sister Jin’er is a little too skinny and your Senior Martial Sister Jun is too wild. Oh right, you still have the little girl called Zheng Yan….”

Stunned and lost of words, Zhong Yue murmured, “Junior Martial Sister Zheng Yan is a little too young, don’t you think?”

“Yes, we should wait for a few more years.” nodded Xin Huo.

As they spoke, Hu Sanweng came in again and said, “Master, there is another lady looking for you. She introduced herself as Zheng Yan.”

“Never thought that she would show up as soon as we started talking about her.” said Zhong Yue diffidently.

Moments later, Zheng Yan came into and when she saw Zhong Yue from afar, she hurriedly said, “I didn’t come looking for you, please don’t overthink. I came here for Senior Martial Sister Wanjun! Where is she?”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, “In the garden behind, she’s with the princess of Shi Clan.”

However, Zheng Yan did not rush towards the garden right away. She got to Zhong Yue and giggled, “So how does it feel to be famous? Now that you are Lord Yue, have you ever thought of marrying one or two beauties? Did you know that Senior Martial Sister Wudao’s name was Wanjun? They crowned her as the most beautiful woman in Heaven Realm and apart from her, there were still a few more beauties that were titled as the ten beauties.”

Zhong Yue was stunned and he replied, “I am still young and I don’t want to get married yet….”

Zheng Yan calmed her heart down at his reply and she said, “By the way, I have some questions on the reversal to the innate state to ask you.”

Of course, Zhong Yue didn’t reject her and each time she asked Zhong Yue about her questions, Zhong Yue would not hold back and after quite some time, they heard the voice the Jun Wudao and Shi Yinji as the duo returned.

Zheng Yan rolled her eyes secretly immediately and before she ran away, she giggled, “I get it now! I come back to you if I have more questions!”

Confused by her actions, Zhong Yue thought, I thought she’s here for Jun Wudao? Why is she leaving now then?

Shi Yinji then gradually walked into the room and asked, “Lord Yue, apart from meeting Wanjun, there is another purpose of me paying a visit to you. I’m here to notify you that Ju Ying wishes to challenge you.”

She then took out a letter and when Zhong Yue looked at it, it read, “I wish you challenge you, Lord Yue, I will be waiting for you at tomorrow night in the forty-ninth level Leizhe and we will decide who is the strongest Qi Practitioner in the Six Path World!”

With a shook, Zhong Yue smiled and said, “Such big talks. What is so nice about this strongest title?”

Shi Yinji was surprised and she said, “Never thought you are one that prefers to stay off the battles. Ju Ying is a strong member from the Ju Fang Celestial Race, which was the descendant of the Ti Ting Clan of the eight sovereign races. His race possesses considerably strong power in the Heaven Realm, which is nowhere weaker than we Shi Clan. He is a formidable foe, do not underestimate him.”

“The title is too small for me, it’s just the first in Wei Shen Six Path World, not the entire Six Paths Worlds, not to mention Zi Wei Celestial Star.”

“So are you going or not?” asked Shi Yinji.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, did not even view it seriously and he threw the letter to Husan Weng before he said, “I’ll see.”

Upon receiving the answer she wanted, Shi Yinji smiled and left as Zhong Yue walked her out. All in a sudden, Zhong Yue asked after Shi Yinji left, “Wanjun, is this Shi Yinji a cunning one?”

“She is beyond cunning.” As soon as she was done talking, she realized something and she gave Zhong Yue a cold stare, “Do not call me Wanjun, my name is Jun Wudao!”

Zhong Yue however, did not even feel anything and he added, “But I think Yi Wanjun is a very beautiful name.”

Jun Wudao blushed right away and she gave Zhong Yue another angry glance before she left hurriedly. Then, Zhong Yue summoned Husan Weng, took a look on the letter again and after a careful examination, he laughed and said, “So this lady is another one that wants to see the world burns.”

After leaving Zhong Yue’s place, Shi Yinji arrived at Ju Ying’s Court Qi Yue and after being welcomed by Ju Ying, she said, “I just got out from Lord Yue’s courtyard and he asked me to send this.”

Ju Ying’s expression changed right away and he quickly took a look at the letter that contained exactly the same message as the one Zhong Yue received.

His eyes twitched right away and after casting the letter aside, he smirked and said coldly, “This little human… Who gave him the bravery to challenge me? He thinks we Ju Fang Celestial Race are all vegans?”

Shi Yinji blinked her eyes and said right away, “Don’t get too angry. Both of you managed to get into the forty-ninth level in the Pure Yang Leizhe and when my father conferred upon him the title of Lord Yue and you as Lord Qi ¹ Yue, he meant to announce that you are equivalently as strong as him.”

“Lord Qi Yue?” said Ju Ying coldly again, “Why is it Lord Qi Yue but not Lord Qi Ying? So be it. Even if he didn’t come for me, I will look for him one day! A fight between the two of us is bound to happen!”

“Calm down, calm down.” comforted Shi Yinji, “The title of the strongest in Wei Shen Six Paths World is not as significant as you thought, you don’t have to fight to death with him.”

Ju Ying however, was still as angry as he was and upon seeing this, Shi Yinji did not linger around anymore and she quickly excused herself.

When this lady got back to the palace, she smiled and murmured, “When the two are fighting, the third benefits. I will charge into the battle right after they’ve exhausted themselves from the fight and with that, the title as the strongest Qi Practitioner in Wei Shen Six Paths World is mine.”

“Yinji, what are you doing again?” asked Queen Shi Ji as she saw Shi Yinji.

The lady quickly explained what she did to her mother, only to receive the disapproval of her mother; Queen Shi Ji shook her head and said, “You are just like your father, both of you are so good in plotting but one day, you will lose because of this.”

A day later, Ju Ying ascended into the forty-ninth Pure Yang Leizhe alone at night; the Leizhe would not appear again as they conquered it once, thus, Ju Ying merely took a few moments to reach there.

Upon reaching the forty-ninth level, he looked around only to realize that there was only him alone.

He waited patiently but after quite some time, he inevitably got angry and this time, he heard a voice saying, “So you actually came, Brother Ju Ying.”

Anger consumed Ju Ying right away upon seeing the now easygoing Zhong Yue and the idea of throwing Zhong Yue down the skies grew within him.

“Took you long enough….”

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, got closer to Ju Ying and as he stretched, he gradually handed over a letter and said, “Take a look at this before you got all worked up.”

Ju Ying took over the letter and he was stunned after reading it. He whipped out the letter he received and said, “I have the exact same one here!”

“From her as well?” asked Zhong Yue as he blinked his eyes.

“Indeed,” nodded Ju Ying.

The two exchanged glances and they immediately understood what happened. At the next second, the two dashed towards the same direction in extraordinary speed.

Hong long—

They threw out a punch that destroyed the dimension ahead of them and as a scream sounded, Shi Yinji came rushing out from the broken dimension while she hurriedly blocked their attacks.

Immense shockwaves spread around as their fists collided and Shi Yinji immediately lost the upper hand; her chances of winning against any one of them were already slim, but against the both of them at the same time, the outcome was obvious from the start.

Zhong Yue followed up quickly and suddenly, six arms grew out from his armpits and along with his original arms, Zhong Yue rained down a barrage of punches onto Shi Yinji with tremendous strength.

On the other hand, Shi Yinji who had yet regain her balance immediately got mowed down as she shrieked from the brutal assault, “How dare you! I am the daughter of the Realm Monarch, how dare you touch me?”

But her words were completely ignored as Zhong Yue continued to attack her stubbornly. Shi Yinji screamed and no matter how hard she tried to shake Zhong Yue off, Zhong Yue’s quick attacks rendered her resistance futile. She was embarrassed and angry at the same time but nothing she did worked.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue turned around and while he continued punching, he asked, “Brother Ju Ying, don’t you wanna vent off?”

Ju Ying who was on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded by what happened and he quickly replied, “She is the princess and it’s enough as a punishment for her by forcing her to show herself. I suppose there is no need for us to attack her crazily like what you are doing. If the Realm Monarch and Queen Shi Ji found out about this, I’m afraid that we would….”

“So you’re afraid?” mocked Zhong Yue.

Ju Ying fell for his trap immediately and right away, he forced himself to do it before he said, “If you’re not afraid at all, do you think I will be afraid as well?”

Zhong Yue nodded right away and said, “Then I will restrict her legs for you so that she won’t be able to kick you.”

“Animals!” shouted Shi Yinji.

The two then threw punches and swung kicks onto her. After venting off, they cast aside the messed up princess in the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Leizhe and left quickly.

“It felt nice!” Ju Ying tidied himself up and smiled, “I’ve never beaten up a princess before but now, I’ve tasted the feeling of beating one up.”

“She asked for it. Brother Ju Ying, it’s getting late now. Why don’t we go have a drink in Tian Ju Inn? It’ll be my treat,” proposed Zhong Yue.

Ju Ying smiled and he said, “Brother Zhong, Tian Ju Inn is an expensive place and I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay for it. I know that you only arrived in Heaven Realm recently and though you are now a Lord, you have nothing else other than fame.”

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes upon hearing this and he said, “But I heard that Tian Ju Inn is one of the many properties of Ju Fang Celestial Race and if I went there with the Ju Fang Celestial Race’s lord….”

Ju Ying burst out laughing right away and he said, “Then I’ll pay for it!”

The two then immediately got into good terms and in Tian Ju Inn, they exchanged their thoughts on cultivation and they felt that they should’ve met each other earlier.

Meanwhile, Shi Yinji who was left in the Pure Yang Leizhe got up in tears with her bruised and battered body, “These two animals! They…”

When she returned to the palace, Queen Shi Ji immediately smiled and said, “See? What did I tell you?”

The princess immediately complaint, “My plots were thwarted by that human. In the end, they teamed up together and bullied me! You have to help me, mother!”

Her request was shot down right away with a shook from Queen Shi Ji, “I’ve already told you about this. You have only yourself to blame. In truth, you and Ju Ying were weaker than the human and it is nothing to be ashamed of if you lose to him. Now, remember this clearly, your techniques and arts were taught to you by your father and me, whereas Ju Ying’s came from his race. The human, however, created all of his arts and techniques by himself and that is the reason why he outshined both of you.”

“Are you not going to help me, mother?” complained the unhappy Shi Yinji.

“I can’t. Everyone could act against him but there is only one person who can’t, which is me,” replied Queen Shi Ji, “I am your father’s left hand. He used the power of our Shi Clan to claim the throne but at the same time, we’ve also become a thorn in his side, thus, he needed someone to be his right hand to maintain the balance. Now, this human Zhong Yue had entered your father’s eyes, and he is keen to make this human his right hand in the future. If I act against this human, your father will definitely flip the table against us. He is a sly, cunning, and cold-blooded man. He and I may be husband and wife but if necessary, he will not hesitate to kill me.”
