Rise of Humanity

Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao quickly fished up the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror from the Heavenly River. They tried to refine the divine mirror but no matter how much arcane energy they put into it, there was no reaction that came from the divine mirror at all.

“What level of treasure is this? Even our Deity Emperor level arcane energy couldn’t refine it?”

Feng Wuji took over the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror and examined it. He noticed the marvelous use of the mirror and the immeasurable power it was brimming with. He praised while looking into the Heavenly River with a smile, “The Heavenly River sure is a huge treasure vault. No one knows just how many treasures are at the bottom of it. Just a random mirror that was flushed to the river surface is already so amazing.”

“This was a divine weapon of the Tian Yuan’s era.” On the side, Feng Qingyu looked at the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror and his face changed slightly, “This is a treasure near the monarch-level divine weapon. Strange, why would the Heavenly River have such a valuable treasure?”

Although a Fuxi, his soul belonged to another race. He was an outsider that reincarnated into the Fuxi Celestial Race, taking advantage of the Fuxi’s strong mortal body to further propel himself. His past life’s cultivation base was far above Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao, thus, he was more knowledgeable than they were.

Feng Wuji had a placid face as he kept the mirror into his Yuan Shen secret realms, he smiled, “This mirror is fated to be with me, it’s mine to keep. People, let’s head for the State of Panhu!”

Kua Fujin, Kua Fumao, and Feng Qingyu were looking at the mirror with greedy eyes. The treasures like monarch weapons were incredibly alluring to them. But the treasure was now in Feng Wuji’s hands, and they didn’t dare to make any moves now.

Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao exchanged a look. Feng Wuji came from a huge background, if his teacher knew they robbed him, they would be dead for sure; furthermore, the master wouldn’t let them off from this if he knew too.

On the other hand, Feng Qingyu worried that Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao were on Feng Wuji’s side, he alone wouldn’t be able to take down the three of them. Thus, he suppressed his greed even though he wanted the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror for himself.

Furthermore, the State of Panhu was just nearby, the unworldly land of the Panhu Clan. If their conflict attracted the Panhu experts’ attention, none of them would be able to keep the mirror for themselves anymore.

As their ship was sailing for the State of Panhu, they suddenly noticed there was also a ship that was sailing for the same destination. Feng Wuji and the others looked over and saw the godly rays above the ship and the heteromorphisms around the gods in the ship.

“It’s the Heaven Court’s ship!” Feng Wuji mumbled puzzlingly, “Why is the Heaven Court’s boat sailing to our State of Panhu?”

All of a sudden, there was another ship filled with gods that charged for the State of Panhu as well. The banner on the ship wrote ‘Juling’ and a giant stood on the deck, looking at them.

Further away, there were more ships that were also sailing over. Some had banners fluttering in the gales and some hid their identities. Those that showed their identities were usually those from the 24 monarch races.

“Tian Xuanzi of the Juling Clan!” Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao were shocked, they looked around and exclaimed, “Lu Wang of the Luli Clan, Yang Buping of the Zhongyang Clan, Bo Fu of the Bohuang Clan, Xiang Zungong of the Zhuxiang Clan!”

“That’s Ge Yishu of the Getian Clan, Lilian Lingyu of the Lilian Clan, Wu Qingqing of the Wuming Clan. What is happening? What are the monarch races doing here?”

Kua Fumao frowned, “These are all the young and talented experts who have the potential to cultivate to the level of Imperial Monarch. Why are they all here?”

Feng Qingyu nodded, “I’ve heard of them before, they do have the potential in them. I used the name Qingyu during my visit to the outside worlds and have met with a few of them. They are really excellent, some even pushed me to the verge of almost casting my Fuxi True Form.”

Among the gods, he was also known as one of the strongest Deities not inferior to Tian Xuanzi, Lu Wang, and the others. However, he had never cast the Fuxi True Form before so no one actually knew just how strong he was.

Feng Wuji was even more curious, he questioned, “Those ships seemed to be heading for our State of Panhu, even the Heavenly Monarch’s Diming Clan is going for it. Could it be, they had all seen the omens of chaos, and they are now trying to form an alliance with our Panhu Clan? It must be it. Although the Panhu have been sealed in the State of Heavenly River, we are still a great power that every race hopes to be allied with.”

It was at this moment, a ship sailed out from the seals of the State of Panhu with the gods of Panhu Clan on the ship. The other ships also didn’t sail into the State of Panhu but instead, sailed past its side for another State of Heavenly River.

Even the Panhu Clan’s ship was sailing toward that State of Heavenly River.

“It looks like they are heading for the Yinkang Clan’s State of Heavenly River, not the Panhu’s.” Kua Fujin looked and said.

Feng Qingyu also squinted his eyes, he said, “The young expert on the Panhu Clan’s ship is also one of the strongest Deities. His name is Pan Xu, a young and talented expert.

Feng Wuji’s face turned red in embarrassment for a split second before returning to normal. He said, “Catch up to the Panhu Clan’s ship, I’ll try and see if I can get anything out of them.”

Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao cast the ship and chased up to the Panhu Clan’s ship soon after. The Panhu ship was filled with Panhu experts, they were all three-headed and harbored strong powers in them.

Their leader was a young celestial, his eyes looked over puzzlingly.

Feng Wuji stood up and smiled, “Brother, I am also one of the Panhu Clan and my teacher is the innate god Tu Yu. I was just planning on returning to the race in the State of Panhu. But I am puzzled to see the many ships, so I am here to ask if brother knows what’s going on.”

The young celestial Pan Xu heard Feng Wuji and was shocked, he quickly said, “So you are one of us. To be frank, our State of Panhu is sealed, and access to it is restricted. If it was during the normal days, Pan Xu would surely bring you back home to the elders and clan master. But today, I have something else to do, please forgive me since I cannot lead you back to the State of Heavenly River for now.”

Pan Xu looked at Feng Qingyu and startled, he greeted, “Senior Martial Brother Qingyu.”

Feng Qingyu returned the greet.

Feng Wuji asked curiously, “What is it that brings all of the young talents here?”

Pan Xu smiled, “We are sailing for another State of Heavenly River, to the Yinkang Clan for its princess. She is a strong one, one of the best of the gods. We have all challenged her in the past but none of us could entirely defeat her. Thus this time, we are here again to challenge her.”

Feng Wuji was shocked, “Is Yinkang Clan’s princess so strong that none of you are her match?”

Pan Xu was embarrassed, he said, “She is incredibly strong. I’ve fought her three times and lost three times. The only one who was able to be on par with her was a lady from the Huaxu Clan. However, that lady only fought with her once and left before the outcome of the battle was decided. After that, the Huaxu lady was nowhere to be seen anymore. I made a promise with the Yinkang Clan’s princess to fight again these few days. I didn’t know she also made the promise with so many other experts. Brother, if you can wait for a few days, I can bring you back to the State of Panhu after the battle.”

Feng Wuji replied, “Such a strong lady, I must to see how strong she is.”

Pan Xu laughed, “I’m much stronger now, no weaker than her now for sure. This time, I’ll never let her triumph against us anymore. Brother, just sit back and watch as I defeat her!”

Feng Wuji smiled and said casually, “I too, am not weak. We’ll see how strong this Yinkang Clan’s lady is. Brother Qingyu, have you met her before?”

Feng Qingyu shook, “I’ve never met her, but I’ve heard of her name and reputation. Tian Xuanzi challenged her five times and lost three. This Tian Xuanzi is also from a sovereign race, even with his Juling True Form, he can’t entirely defeat her. However, the Juling Clan is not a strong sovereign race at all, they only had a reign of Heavenly Monarch in the Earth Order Era. She may be able to defeat Tian Xuanzi, but she can’t win against me. Perhaps, she might just be the first to force me to use my True Form.”

Pan Xu knew he was incredibly mysterious. Feng Qingyu had once walked in the Zi Wei Galaxy and met not even a single defeat. Even more, there wasn’t anyone who could see through his true identity. Thus, Pan Xu has asked curiously, “Brother Qingyu, which race are you from?”

But Feng Qingyu only gave an arrogant smile and never answered.

Pan Xu was also a prideful man, returning a cold sneer back at Feng Qingyu.

As the ships sailed toward the State of Yinkang and arrived outside of it, the Yinkang Clan had opened the seals and allowed the ships to land. There were Yinkang Clan elders that came to welcome the guests and led them toward the Yinkang Clan’s sacred land.

“Yin Fanxuan, spare the formalities and let’s fight!” Yin Fanxuan whose brawny physique stood above the rest, “We had a deal to battle today and I plan to wash the humiliations you’ve given me. It’s time my hard work pays off and I claim the title of ‘The Strongest Deity’!”

All of a sudden, a voice sneered frigidly, “Tian Xuanzi, you’ve lost to her three times and you dare to claim yourself as ‘The Strongest Deity’? This title is not yours yet.”

Tian Xuanzi looked over and smirked, “Ah, it’s Xiang Zungong. It’s true that you’ve been defeated fewer times than me, I’m three and you are two. But let me recall, hmmm, didn’t you just challenge her two times only? Consider it lucky that she didn’t kill you.”

Xiang Zungong of the Zhuxiang Clan was angered, he gave a cold sneer, “I’ve been defeated by Yin Fanxuan, not you! I heard that you fought with a draw match with a mere human, you should’ve been taken off from the list of the strongest Deities!”

“Come over, I’ll kill you.” Tian Xuanzi smirked at him.

“Tian Xuanzi, the eight sovereign races are relics of the past, there’s no need to mention you people anymore, is there?” Another voice said placidly, “This is the era of the 24 monarch races, is there even any space left for the eight sovereign races? You eight sovereign races don’t have any Heavenly Monarch in this new era, you better just shut up and bury yourself in the dirt!”

Tian Xuanzi tracked the voice and laughed, “Wuhuai Yu of the Wuhuai Clan! Child, when I defeat Yin Fanxuan and stand as the strongest Deity, you’ll know exactly how strong I am.”

Wuhuai Yu was infuriated, but another voice sneered frigidly from the side, “How shameless, you are just a loser in Yin Fanxuan’s hands, you think you are qualified to say things like this? Tian Xuanzi, when I defeat Yin Fanxuan, I’ll accept your challenge and stomp you under my feet!”

“Ge Yishu, I’ll kill you now, do you believe me?” Tian Xuanzi roared back furiously.

“What sovereign race? Do you know our Dating Clan’s Ting Huali?”

“Dating Clan, you dare to shout against me? I’ll crush you dead!”

…

Beside Tian Xuanzi, a Juling Clan elder quickly whispered, “Young master, young master, please stop! You’ll offend them all if you continue longer!”

Tian Xuanzi sneered frigidly, “The tallest trees are the first to be destroyed by the wind. I’m so exceptional that they are all jealous of me!”

The Juling Clan elder nodded, “It’s natural that young master is the best of them all. But we are here to challenge the Yinkang Clan’s princess. It’d be unwise if you are to be placed in the center of everyone’s attention, we should just let Yinkang Clan’s princess to be everyone’s focus. That way, we’ll be able to sit and watch as they fight into exhaustion, then you come out and claim the title.”

Tian Xuanzi nodded continuously, he shouted, “Yin Fanxuan, are you not going to show yourself? Are you afraid of me? Old man, come over, where’s your clan’s young lady?”

The Yinkang Clan elder smiled, “Dear guests, please be patient! Our missy has just gotten married and is now on a honeymoon with our young master-in-law, they will return soon. Please be patient!”

“Yin Fanxuan is married?”

“Yin Fanxuan on a honeymoon?”

The young and talented experts were dazed on the spot, they looked at one another in shock and Tian Xuanzi shouted, “Who is she married to? Who can defeat her? Who is even stronger than her?”

Feng Wuji looked at the experts and was also puzzled, “If the Yinkang Clan’s princess is already this strong, who is actually capable of defeating her and marrying her? Is he some prince from any of the monarch races?”

The Yinkang Clan elder smiled, “Our young master-in-law is also a strong one. Please be patient, I’ll now contact our missy and notify the newlyweds to return.”

He took out a totem pillar and just before he was going to contact Yin Fanxuan, Feng Wuji’s face turned drastically. A small crack could be heard coming from his Yuan Shen secret realms as a divine mirror slashed through his Yuan Shen secret realms and flew out of the light wheels behind his head.

Feng Wuji reached his hand out for the divine mirror but suddenly, a lady flew out from it and held the mirror in her hand while pushing out another hand to parry Feng Wuji’s.

Feng Wuji muffled a groan and was forced a few steps back. When he regained his stance, his eyes were filled with shock.

“Yin Fanxuan!”

The young and talented experts stood up in an intense battling will.

Yin Fanxuan raised her hand and said in a soft and gentle tone, “Dear guests, please be seated.”
