Rise of Humanity

Yin Fanxuan had a shock and she immediately shouted, ‘Darling, what level are you in right now!”

“Still a Heavenly Deity.”

In Zhong Yue’s eyes appeared a picture with the transformation of Yin and Yang, like the Tai Chi but something else was different. In the Tai Chi Art was contained the Yi Dao that separated Yin Yang, Celestial, Demon and in the dimension. The Tai Ying, Tai Yang, Shao Yin and Shao Yang appeared and reflected eight types of trigrams.

In his forehead, the divine third eye opened and an innate Tai Chi Art emerged. With a confused voice, Zhong Yue mumbled, “But I feel like this level is non-existent to me. I can see through everything behind the secret realms in my body, my psyche is incredibly vast right now. But it was binded by my body and Yuan Shen. I feel like I can turn into any of the Daos in this heaven and earth but my body and Yuan Shen shackle me.”

Yin Fanxuan was stunned as she simply didn’t know anything.

In Zhong Ye’s psyche ocean, Xin Huo was shocked and after a moment of silence, he said, “Your mentality is now infinitely close to the mentality of a monarch but your cultivation level is holding you back. Zhong Yue, your achievements in mentality have officially exceeded most of the previous Xin Huo inheritors.”

Xin Huo no longer addressed Zhong Yue as a brat and changed his address of him to his proper name. He was now no longer a brat but one that rivalled or even surpassed by previous Xin Huo inheritors.

The little flame had a thousand thoughts running wildly through his mind right now; after cultivating hundreds of inheritors, not many of them had achieved the monarch level in mentality, and he never expected Zhong Yue to achieve this at the Heavenly Deity level!

With his wealth of experience, Xin Huo knew exactly how Zhong Yue felt; the monarch level was so lofty. It meant that he had become unified with the Dao, but his lower achievements in the body and Yuan Shen had became a restriction.

Previously, Zhong Yue did not know how it felt to be in the monarch level, but now, he had gained a taste of that sensation. He now felt that his body and Yuan Shen were burdens.

With a monarch mentality but without the cultivation to match it, Zhong Yue still needed to cultivate himself. But the deeper his understanding towards the monarch level, the easier mistakes would appear.

“The Dao Assimilation will be one of your greatest challenges.”

Xin Huo sounded very serious, “When Imperial Emperor Xian Tian achieved this, he once said he felt like he was about to turn into the heaven and earth’s Daos but there was one thing that he has and you don’t, a suitable amount of power. His cultivation level was enough to make it through safely. But you don’t have this power. Zhong Yue, you have to be careful!”

Zhong Yue kept quiet for a while and the silence was broken when Yin Fanxuan asked, “Darling, can you tell me the new understandings you’ve acquired?”

“Of course.”

He then told Yin Fanxuan everything he learned, the [Innate Eight Trigrams], which explained the universe’ wonders, the indescribable secrets in heaven and earth and the core, Yi through eight types of Innate Trigrams.

Yi, was the dragon pattern that separated the Celestial, Demon, Yin and Yang in the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art].

The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] contained the Innate Yin, Yang, Celestial and Demon Dao;

The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] contained the Innate Lightning Dao;

The [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] contained the Space and Time Dao;

THe [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] contained the Innate Yi Dao.

Together, they have formed the basis of the [Innate Eight Trigrams].

In Zhong Yue’s [Innate Eight Trigrams], Yi was the core, Yin and Yang turned into the innate sun and innate moon while the celestial and demon turned into the black and white parts in the Tai Chi.

And the Space Dao made the Tai Chi Art much more geometrical, turning it into a dimension mixed with celestial, demon, Yin and Yang Qi while endless stars shone brightly, forming a beautiful galaxy.

The Time Dao then imbued the concept of time into the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], creating a time flow that was under Yi’s control.

Yin Yang, Celestial, Demon, Time and Sapce, and Yi, together, the Tai Chi Art they formed was no longer [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] but the innate Tai Chi Art.

The innate tai Chi Art then started producing the four symbols; the Innate Tai Yin Dao, Innate Tai Yang Dao, Innate Shao Yin Dao and Innate Tai Yang Dao, which all reflected into eight trigrams.

Whereas for the lightning, it was one type among the eight trigrams created by the four symbols. It was called the Zhen Trigram.

The Gan Trigram as heaven, heaven father and Heaven Dao.

The Kun Trigram as earth, earth mother and Earth Dao.

The Xun Trigram as wood, the mother of life and Life Dao.

The Kan Trigram as water and power of torrent while the Li Trigram as fire and the power of heat, together, they became the Fire and Water Dao.

The Ken Trigram as alpines with different transformations while the Rui Trigram as swamp, the land of reproduction. Together, they were the Mountain and River Dao.

Apart from the Zhen Trigram’s lightning Dao, the other seven Daos were foreign to Zhong Yue and this was where he was lacking.

The Innate Shao Yang and Shao Yang Daos were derived from the Tai Yin and Tai Yang so it was not much of a problem.

The other seven Daos were not as serious as whenever he wanted to fully unleash the power of the [Innate Eight Trigrams], he would have to open two great secret realms, which was the Space and Time Secret Realms in order to open a total of eight secret realms.

Originally, Zhong Yue wanted to borrow the gods’ intelligence through Tian Pan to merge the four monarch level arts together. He wanted to use the Heavenly Dao to merge the seventh and eighth secret realm with the Six Paths Reincarnation, perfecting the [Innate Eight Trigrams] once and for all. However, because of how incomplete the Tian Pan was, not only did his plan fail, the Tian Pan exploded.

WIth that, the entire [Innate Eight Trigrams] was not entirely produced; Zhong Yue was too ambitious that he wanted to turn the Heavenly Dao into part of the trigrams but as a Treasures of Heavenly Daos, how could the Tian Pan decipher and calculate something beyond its comprehension?

Thus, the Tian Pan’s explosion was simply an inevitability.

Though the [Innate Eight Trigrams] was yet to be completed, rendering him unable to entirely merge the four ultimate art into one and unable to entirely create the other seven trigrams, this art still helped him out from the difficulty of cultivating four arts at the same time.

Now, all he needed to cultivate was the [Innate Eight Trigrams] itself.

Over these four days, he had been cultivating it and strengthening himself. He first cultivated the Innate Shao Yin and Yang Dao, bestowing himself with 10 innate Daos which greatly boosted his strength!

After hearing Zhong Yue’s explanation of his [Innate Eight Trigrams], Yin Fanxuan thought for awhile and sighed, “Darling, I am no longer superior to you. No wonder you said that Zhu Xie would die after a few more days. If you cultivated the other seven Daos, Zhu Xie would only be able to outperform by reaching a higher level. He would be no match for you at the same level.”

There were still flaws everywhere in Zhong Yue’s [Innate Eight Trigrams]. Apart from the seven trigrams’ innate Daos, he still needed to figure out a way to merge the other two secret realms with the Six Paths Reincarnation to form a complete system.

And if those were achieved, then he would achieve an achievement no one had ever achieved!

Time passed and it was finally the day of the Heavenly Monarch’s birthday ceremony. In the Heaven Court, the sun officer maneuvered luxurious war chariots in the skies, leaving a trail of fire behind while the moon officers hung one after another lunas in the air.

In the skies, heavenly ladies carried baskets filled with flower petals, scattered them around as they walked around, laying the streets with flowers while heavenly demon ladies danced in the air.

In North Heaven Palace, gigantic beasts walked on the street, on their back were bare topped giants beating the drums, four armed gods dancing around and ladies that opened a scroll in the skies that sung about the Heavenly Monarch’s contribution to the world.

In the Yu Lin Army, Bi Xie Celestial Race blew the war horn, which echoed through the Heaven Court and dragons slithered into the air.

In the South Heaven gate, the Heavenly King activated the golden divine weapons, vermillion birds left a trail of fire as they flew across the skies while the gods in West Heaven Gate set up camp fires as phoenix ladies danced and sang in the fire.

At the side of Heavenly River, rogue waves emerged and the shining stars formed into four massive words.

‘Long live the king!’

For once in a very long while, the entire Heaven Court was extremely lively as they celebrated the Heavenly Monarch’s birthday, decorated the compounds colourful and even the court ladies were donned with beautiful clothes. Wherever one walked around, everything seemed so prosperous and peaceful.

In the banquet, unlimited supply of divine medicines and exotic fruits were put onto the tables by the heavenly ladies along with dishes made from exotic creatures and plants.

On the altar, the Heavenly Monarch led the many officers, prayed to Heaven with offerings and incense for its bestows.

This was a scene that had not been seen for a very long time and it felt like the races in Zi Wei Galaxy had never been a war with one another and the ancient universe had never fallen into chaos. Everything seemed so peaceful and calm.

In the frontlines, the urgent news was all cut off by the Heavenly Kings and set aside temporarily.

At the banquet, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was like the brightest sun so high up with Goddess Queen Monarch accompanying at the side while the monarchs serving him stood at the side.

The officers and divine generals surrounded the banquet, the messengers from the different races kneeled before the Heavenly Monarch while music was played in the background with different combinations of instruments.

After that, the gods seated and the messengers presented the birthday gifts from the races they represented.

“My life is complete if I am sitting on that chair over there!” shouted Tian Xuanzi.

With a pale expression, Ling Zheng immediately choked the food into Tian Xuanzi’s mouth, stopping him from speaking. Just as Tian Xuanzi was about to speak again, the old man immediately kicked Tian Xuanzi down the table and stepped onto him to stop him from coming out.

Then, the gods from the different powers presented their gifts and lit up the surroundings with the precious items they gifted.

Mister Bi Luo from Bi Luo Palace walked out and along with Goddess Queen Monarch, the Heavenly Monarch quickly got down from the seat and listened to Mister Bi Luo’s congratulatory speech like a pet. After that, they thanked him and returned back to their seats.

Meanwhile, Tian Xuanzi reached his head out from under the table and shook his head upon seeing this scene, “God damn it, I better not become a Heavenly Monarch!”

With a warm smile, Ling Zheng reached his legs out, stepped onto this big guy and immobilized him completely.

After a moment of enjoying, Zhu Xie walked out and bowed, “Your Majesty, my challenge to the Dety Overlord Board of Saints is not done. May I have Your Majesty’s permission to continue the challenge today to add another entertainment to the ceremony?”

“Permission granted,” said Heavenly Monarch Di Ming.

Zhu Xie stood straight up again, looked towards Zhong Yue, giving him a smile before he turned away and spoke loudly, “I have nine more candidates to challenge in the Deity Overlord Board of Saints, may I have the honor of seeking teachings from you, senior martial brothers?”

Ti Mobei and the others’ eyes twitched and they all looked towards Zhong Yue.

Is Zhu Xie trying to mow down the candidates in the Deity Overlord Board of Saints and keep up the momentum to crush Mister Yi?
