Rise of Humanity

“I see, I see… So this is how the skills of Heavenly Daos are used!”

With each slam of the Million Treasure Dao Hammer, the Daos of heaven and earth would follow behind in the patterns of the Drawings of Heavenly Daos. This also meant that every slam of his Million Treasure Dao Hammer was a Heavenly Dao skill!

Although it only lasted for a short time, each time the hammer slams contained incredible power in them!

Zhong Yue was startled, he suddenly let go of the hammer and immersed his mind in the Daos of heaven and earth. He raised his hand and slammed his palm down on the White Luminant Gold on the furnace like a stamp!

Dang—

The impact force traveled back into his hand and countless wounds bloodied his palm. But he continued slamming another palm strike down as if he couldn’t feel the pain. The movements of his palm were attracting the Daos of heaven and earth, filled with boundless powers that were borrowed from nature!

One strike after another, Dao patterns slowly formed underneath his palm, resembling the Drawings of Tian Yin!

With the emergence of the patterns, his palm strikes also grew stronger in power. Such was the Tian Yin’s skill!

The skills’ powers turned stronger as time passed by. After a long time, Zhong Yue finally stopped as his body couldn’t hold it any longer or his mortal body and Yuan Shen would both shatter and die!

He finally cultivated the Tian Yin’s skill, but the skill was a great burden to his mortal body and Yuan Shen. The more energy he used to cast it, the stronger the skill would be, and the greater it would damage his mortal body and Yuan Shen.

As of now, he had only cultivated one skill of the 30 Heavenly Daos, he hadn’t cultivated the Tian Pan’s skill nor had he started studying the other 28 Heavenly Daos’ skills. If he could cultivate all of them, he wouldn’t be as powerless against Xuan Ji the next time they meet.

Zhong Yue held the Million Treasures Dao Hammer again and went back to forging the Treasures of Heavenly Dao.

The Million Treasures Dao Hammer was much stronger than his raw mortal body, and even when it was destroyed by the impact force, he wouldn’t suffer any damage either. This gave him the ease of mind to use the hammer. After all, Old Man Xuan and Qi were both a fine line away from the monarch level. Their weapons were, of course, extraordinary.

On the other hand, Old Man Xuan and Qi felt uneasy, afraid that Zhong Yue would shatter their treasures yet another time. However, they had promised Zhong Yue to forge for him, and they could only watch as cracks slowly appeared on the Dao Hammer’s surface.

“It seems like our treasure will break another time again…” The two old men murmured sadly.

After another dozen days, Tian Yin was slowly coming into shape. The armies of the Heaven Breaching Fortress grew anxious and quickly surged more of their arcane energies into the Million Treasures Dao Hammer in fear that it would break at this crucial moment.

Thankfully, the forging was a success. The Million Treasures Dao Hammer was still fine with only cracks on its surface by the time Zhong Yue had finished forging Tian Yin.

Old Man Xuan and Qi instantly dashed forward and snatched the Dao Hammer away from him. Their hearts were aching in pain when they meticulously inspected the hammer.

“This treasure came out fine after forging the Treasures of Heavenly Daos, its achievements will be stupendous.” Zhong Yue praised from the bottom of his heart.

The two old men rolled their eyes at him and thought, What crap was he talking about? He is probably saying this only to make it easier to borrow the hammer again next time.

“Huh? There are some strange patterns on our Dao Hammer!” Old Man Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Old Man Qi quickly got closer to look and indeed, he saw some wondrous patterns that were burnt on the Dao Hammer’s surface. It was then that they knew Zhong Yue wasn’t joking.

During forging Tian Yin, the Daos of heaven and earth and Heavenly Daos were attracted and smithed the wondrous Dao patterns into Tian Yin. But at the same time, there were also some of the Dao patterns that were also smithed onto the Dao Hammer’s surface. This, in turn, bestowed the Dao Hammer with a faint air of the Heavenly Daos.

During the last two times Zhong Yue borrowed their Dao Hammer to forge the Tian Pan; The first Tian Pan was too weak, it didn’t leave anything for the Dao Hammer; whereas the second time, the Dao Hammer was shattered from the smithing of the Tian Pan.

But this time, Zhong Yue and the Million Treasures Dao Hammer were much more capable. Tian Yin was successfully forged and the Dao Hammer’s strength also saw a rise from the smithing. One must say, it was an unexpected fortune for the two old men.

“If it’s used to forge a few more treasures, this Dao Hammer will most probably enter the monarch level earlier than the two old men. It will become a monarch weapon!” Zhong Yue smiled as he said.

Old Man Xuan and Qi were dubious over his statement. They quickly repaired the hammer and forged a divine weapon with it. Sure enough, the divine weapon came out stronger and with some additional wondrous effects. The two old men were shocked and overjoyed.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue was looking at Tian Yin. This was a Treasure of Heavenly Daos that could oppress fate. It had boundless authoritative power and was stronger than the Tian Pan, only lacking the latter’s divine calculatory ability.

With a thought, the Tian Yin was cast up to the sky, hovering above the Heaven Breaching Fortress. He thought, With it, the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s fate will be unshakable, not even by Mo Yin.

Mo Yin had been reducing his fate. Although the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s fate was still growing steadily, the endless reduction had still slowed it down greatly. But with Tian Yin in the fortress now, Mo Yin would not be able to affect its fate anymore.

As time passed, the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s fate would only grow stronger and eventually be invincible!

There aren’t any monarchs that came to rob us now. It seemed like they had learned their lesson, they didn’t want to make a fool out of themselves anymore this time.

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes as he thought. He suddenly had the urge to forge all 30 Treasures of Heavenly Daos, but he has run out of raw materials. Even with his superfluous wealth, forging two Treasures of Heavenly Daos already cost him an arm and a leg, he was almost like a poor beggar now.

The materials needed for the Tian Yin had come mostly from wealth plundered from the war with the Heaven Court, else, he alone could only afford to forge just the Tian Pan.

To forge all 30 Treasures of Heavenly Daos would require uncountable resources that he could never afford now.

It’s impossible without seizing the Heaven Court’s resources.

Zhong Yue gazed at the Heaven Court while suddenly, Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi walked toward him. They were both smiling coquettishly upon asking, “Where’s our new sister darling has kidnapped? Why don’t you show her to us?”

Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat and he knew things were taking a bad turn. Back then, he had ordered the ladies to return to the Heaven Breaching Fortress first while he stayed to kidnap Pan Suxin.

Then, right after he returned, the Heaven Breaching Fortress became steeped in battle. The sequence of events that led up to this moment had occurred so quickly that he didn’t have time to explain the situation about Pan Suxin to them.

“Darlings, listen to me, I’ll explain. This lady has nothing to do with me.” Zhong Yue quickly removed Pan Suxin from his Yuan Shen secret realms and smiled while saying, “Her situation is different…”

“King Yi, I will never fall in love with you!” Pan Suxin condemned.

An expression radiated across Yin Fanxuan’s and Jin Hexi’s faces as if they both expected it. Beads of cold sweat immediately rolled down Zhong Yue’s forehead and he waved his hands rapidly to shoo Pan Suxin away.

Then, he explained the situation to the ladies. Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi were both surprised, Yin Fanxuan murmured, “Is this really possible?”

Zhong Yue nodded, “I was feeling the same too. How can there be anyone who is so similar? Thus, I took the risk of bringing her here. However, after inspecting her atman, she doesn’t appear to be someone from the Ancestral Star. I can’t help but feel puzzled too.”

Jin Hexi said, “There are endless wondrous possibilities in this vast universe, there is a chance this is real.”

Having handled the situation with his two wives, Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, “I will let Pan Suxin stay here first and see what can we do next once our business here has been resolved.”

Yin Fanxuan nodded, “I guess this is the only way. Darling, are you really going to wait 30 years until the next attack on the Heaven Court?”

Zhong Yue replied solemnly, “The Heaven Court is not an easy target. Although I have heavily impaired 9 out of its 36 armies, there are still 27 armies left. Even when the other monarch races can hold off 4 or 5 of the armies, there are 20 some armies left to be handled. The Heaven Court remains the strongest force in this universe. That’s why I am waiting for a chance. I don’t believe Monarch Jin Tian, Monarch Qing He, Monarch Chang Sheng, and Monarch Yang Zun would sit by and watch quietly.”

Jin Hexi said, “Monarch Yang Zun and the others have not made a move yet. They are most probably waiting for us to battle Heaven Court first so they can come in when we are both injured from the war. That way, they can strike two birds down with one stone.”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Don’t worry. The four monarchs will not stand to see Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess successfully in cultivating the seventh secret realm. They will make a move for sure to ensure the two paragons fail in opening the seventh secret realm. In these 30 years, something will surely come up to us. En, Senior Martial Brother Feng is back!”

Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi both left while Zhong Yue moved toward the gate. There, Feng Xiaozhong was seen walking into the fortress, still having the same calm and tranquil expression on his face. It was hard to tell whether or not he took down Xuan Ji.

“Did senior martial brother caught Xuan Ji?” Zhong Yue asked.

Feng Xiaozhong shook, “He is full of tricks, he managed to escape my hands.”

Zhong Yue was disappointed while Feng Xiaozhong continued, “But I was able to make him leave something behind. It’s strange; very, very unique.”

Zhong Yue was bestirred, he quickly asked, “What is it?”

“Meat I’ve taken down from his body.” A Secular World emerged behind Feng Xiaozhong’s head and he continued, “It’s very small and still bloody. Though small it may be, it is still enough for me to conduct my research on this amazing lifeform.”

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he asked, “I’ve tried to acquire his blood, but they never seem to leave his body. Once left, the blood will always burn away into ashes. Senior martial brother, how did you do it?”

“Simple, I did what you did. I used the Space Dao to cut open his flesh and blood. Even though I’ve cut it down, it’s still actually intact with his mortal body now.” Feng Xiaozhong explained, “Then, I used the Time Secular World to stop time and seal this piece of meat in it.”

Zhong Yue was startled and left utterly speechless. What Feng Xiaozhong used were the exact same measures as him, the Space Dao and Time Dao!

Zhong Yue had imparted his attainments in the Ancestral Court to Feng Xiaozhong before, this included his Space Secret Realm and Time Secret Realm.

During the chase for Xuan Ji, Feng Xiaozhong must’ve tried many ways but failed to leave Xuan Ji’s blood behind until he found Zhong Yue’s Space Dao and Time Space effective against it.

Zhong Yue hadn’t cultivated to the Creator level, he couldn’t use the Secular Worlds yet. He still needed to ascend into the Deity Overlord and Deity Emperor level before he could use the Secular Worlds.

But Feng Xiaozhong was unique was always, he could already cast the Secular Worlds.

However, what surprised him was that Feng Xiaozhong had used his techniques!

Senior martial brother really lives up to his nickname of The Transcended One.

Zhong Yue praised. Rays flashed in his eyes and he said, “Senior martial brother, I’ve come across a lady recently. I’d like you to meet her.”

Feng Xiaozhong was puzzled, he said, “You’ve spent too much on your relationships. Junior martial brother, this will hinder your cultivation and affect your Dao heart. If you were like me, unphased by worldy tethers, your achievements today would have been far beyond what it is now.”

Zhong Yue laughed, “Love, emotions, relationship, it’s also a kind of Dao, why wouldn’t I experience them? Senior martial brother, please look, the lady is there.”

Feng Xiaozhong looked over and when his gaze fell on Pan Suxin, his body trembled greatly. At that moment, he had forgotten his Dao and his heart became filled with affection.

But right away, Feng Xiaozhong’s face was filled with anger and his expression turned vicious, he said frigidly, “Junior martial brother, where did you learn of my wife’s appearance, and how did you manage to find someone who looks exactly like her? Are you trying to shatter my Dao heart?”
