Rise of Humanity
chapter-367

“Stop beautifying his image!”

The ladies' anger was incited as they refuted, "What is this name, The Transcender? Feng Xiaozhong is a madman!"

Zhong Yue replied with a gentle smile, he didn’t talk back and recollected his thoughts.

The demon ladies were all in a rage; the demon race had undergone two calamities, any one of these calamities could have significantly impaired their prowess as a whole and yet, two such disasters happened back to back. Even two of the eight saint clans' demon divine weapons were lost, and the magnates killed!

Now they knew what Zhong Yue meant by the clans suffering great damages. Indeed, it came true.

For the calamity, the eight saint clans had all blamed the ladies for passing them incomplete intelligence and condemned Zhong Yue to be held accountable for their losses.

The eight saint clan elders blamed Zhong Yue for intentionally causing the deaths of the experts as he did not inform them the identity of the demon palace's owner.

Zhong Yue, however, was indifferent to their blame, the eight saint clans would have known that he wasn't a demon by now, and they had even planned to kill him already. They were just holding back because of the battle he was going to have against Demon Saint.

The eight saint clans wanted him to battle the Demon Saint to test out the latter's trump cards before killing them both.

Demon Saint was incredibly dangerous, especially after the incident of the Triad Ritual, and although the eight saint clans hated him to their bones, neither one of them dared to go against him in a frontal conflict.

After all, Demon Saint had wiped out nearly every demon expert in the Triad Ritual and that infused fear into the eight saint clans. No one would ever know how many Demon God Blood Charms he had left or if he had any other trump cards.

With the Inner Core Qi Practitioner Zhong Yue as their cannon fodder, the eight saint clans were more than happy to see him battle the Demon Saint and force Demon Saint to reveal his last trump cards.

Whether or not Zhong Yue would win, the eight saint clans would not let him walk out of the Desolation City alive.

In the boat, Zhong Yue was sitting still. He surged his blood essence tardily in search for the Bloodline Wheel's position. And as for how to do go about that, Feng Xiaozhong had already taught him.

The Bloodline Wheel was the wheel of blood essences that linked both the Yuan Shen and mortal body together. Before the emergence of the Six Paths Reincarnation, no one had ever realized its existence, the sixth wheel that was intimately connected to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The second requirement for the Bloodline Wheel was a particularly vibrant blood essence, and after such a long time of cultivation, Zhong Yue's blood essences were more than enough!

The third requirement was to break through the seals in the human blood, which was also the most critical phase of the process!

The Seal of the Six Paths in the human body would grow stronger with the cultivator. The stronger you are, the stronger the seals would be. They grow together with you and live together with you. Hence, the earlier one breaks the seals, the weaker the seals would be at the time.

If a human had cultivated his Yuan Shen to the Pure Yang state, ascending to Deityhood, these bloodline seals would be so strong that the chances of breaking them were close to nil!

After these few days of study, Zhong Yue now had enough confidence to break through the Seal of the Six Paths.

The sequence he would have to go through would be: Breaking away the Seal of the Six Paths, the opening of the Bloodline Wheel, and coalescing the six secret realms to come together to form the Six Paths and ultimately manifest the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the body.

Feng Xiaozhong said that when opening the Bloodline Wheel, I will meet with the Six Paths Reincarnation and that there would be great danger that will await me, possibly the one that sealed the humans away. It was precisely this great danger he was talking about that crushed his sanity and turned him into a madman … This Six Paths of Reincarnation … what is it and what secrets does it hold?

Zhong Yue calmed himself down and thought back to the image he had seen in the Lesser Void World. The imperial consort had shown him the view of her Six Paths of Reincarnation, and he could clearly see the marvelous Six Paths. In it, sat a giant that was so huge that even the planets and suns seemed to be tiny balls that orbited around him.

Such an otherworldly scene was something he could never forget.

If that's what I'll see, I won't be shocked, and Feng Xiaozhong will definitely not be stuck in his madness. There must be something else! It will not be long. Soon, I will see what Feng Xiaozhong had seen!

He surged his psyche and turned into the state of [Atman Body as One], morphing himself into a 360 feet tall giant in the Fuxi True Form while he surged all of his blood essences with great force.

Wong——

The sounds of buzzing could be heard as he opened all of his five secret realms – Dao Yi, Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang and Wu Xing. The powers of all five secret realms surged in his body and fused together in unity.

The blood essences of his mortal body and Yuan Shen started resonating with one another, and he felt like as if a part of him that was long lost had finally returned to himself. As with the changes in his blood essences, the bloodline seals in his body started to emerge.

These seals were deeply implanted into the humans; they would pass on from generation to generation. And as every child was the creation of the two humans, the bloodline seals in the next generations would compound in strength through each successive generation. Year after year, the bloodline seals would eventually grow to a point where the true powers of the Fuxi bloodline would be eternally sealed away from humanity!

Zhong Yue's blood essences were shuddering, growing stronger and thicker while the bloodline seals were also growing in tandem, continuing to maintain its stranglehold over the Fuxi factor in his bloodline.

These seals were so well hidden that even the Heavenly Dharma giant cultivators wouldn't be able to sense them at all. Zhong Yue could only see them clearly with his divine third eye. As far as his vision could reach, all he could see were seals that numbered at least a billion in number!

His divine eye could sense the bloodline seals continue to grow alongside the strength of his own bloodline. They were growing together with the blood essences of his Yuan Shen and mortal body, forming into six shackles that revolved around the five secret realms that locked the powers in his bloodline away!

All of these would be invisible to others, but Zhong Yue saw it clearly with his divine third eye!

Unlike Feng Xiaozhong who had used the heart's eye to see all of these, Zhong Yue had the Fuxi divine third eye.

This allowed Zhong Yue to believe that Feng Xiaozhong had awakened the Fuxi Celestial Race's divine heart. As such, with the awakening of the divine heart, Feng Xiaozhong could utilize the senses of the divine heart, or more commonly called the heart's eye. Furthermore, the Fuxi Celestial Race had an incredibly vibrant and robust blood essence, which was also why Feng Xiaozhong could have sensed the seals in the bloodline.

However, the foundation of the divine heart's strength was not the heart's eye, but the appalling powerful blood essence of the Fuxi Celestial Race.

Hence, if used to look at the bloodline seals, it wouldn’t be as clear as the divine third eye.

Zhong Yue cast out the seal-breaking art that Feng Xiaozhong had taught him, and the totem patterns flew into mid-air around him and formed into 【Dragon Shears】, cutting the seals away in halves.

These 【Dragon Shears】 looked like two Jiao Dragons coming together into the shapes of scissors. There were the traces of the dragon techniques, but other than that, there were still the demons and the celestials. This 【Dragon Shears】 was incredibly complex and was most probably created by Feng Xiaozhong for the sole purpose of breaking the bloodline seals.

Thankfully I've cultivated to the state of [Celestial Demon as One], or else, wouldn't even be able to use this 【Dragon Shears】, Zhong Yue thought.

The totem patterns that formed the 【Dragon Shears】 were incredibly small, each 【Dragon Shears】 was as small as the bloodline seals, and in his divine third eyes' vision, he could see billions of 【Dragon Shears】 forming into circles that slowly decomposed the Seal of the Six Paths away.

Countless 【Dragon Shears】 attached themselves to the bloodline seals, and two sets of the six wheels were formed right beside one another.

Found it!

Zhong Yue's blood essences were moving around ceaselessly in search of the Bloodline Secret Realm's position, causing the six wheels of bloodline seals to change with it. After searching in over a hundred million places, he finally found where the Bloodline Secret Realm was located!

Zhong Yue yelled heavily, and his oceanic blood essence suddenly shrunk wildly, condensing into a narrow straight line that was like a divine spear. In the next second, the scarlet red spear thrust forcefully toward where the Bloodline Secret Realm was at!

At the same time, the Seal of the Six Paths triggered, and the bloodline seals burst out with an appalling wave of energy that seemed to want to erase his blood essence so that he wouldn't succeed in opening the sixth secret realm.

“SHEARS!”

Zhong Yue's voices were loud like the roaring thunders, and the 【Dragon Shears】 cut down heavily upon the bloodline seals. Instantly, the sounds of popping came from inside of his body as if there were thousands and millions of bowstrings breaking away. The boat he was on became pulverized into little pieces, and the ladies onboard were sent flying away in all directions.

In the middle of the boat, Zhong Yue's skins fissured, and countless rivulets of blood spurted out like needles from his body that was now like a sieve.

His mortal body shriveled up, and his muscles were rid of its moisture as they attached themselves to his bones, His heart also clumped together like wet clothes!

Zhong Yue's body suddenly became a few sizes smaller, and he looked like a desiccated corpse.

The blood that spurted out of his body formed into little human-headed, snake-bodied celestial beings. They were small and tiny but lively like ephemeral spirits. They danced around his body happily.

Before the demon ladies could ever react to the sudden change, all of the blood surged back into Zhong Yue's body, and his withered body was instantly returned to a state where it was brimming with vitality in the blink of an eye.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

His heart thumped heavily – its powerful beating seemed to resonate with the force of the world. Suddenly, another voice covered the thumping sound of his heart; it was the sound of his blood essence flowing through his body. Hua-la-la—— it sounded like a vast ocean whose waves crashed violently in a storm.

Behind him, a new wheel emerged ... the sixth wheel — Bloodline Wheel!

It was scarlet red in color, and inside it, there was the image of a human-headed snake-bodied celestial being as the light wheel slowly turned larger.

In his body, the blood essence of the mortal body and Yuan Shen were now united as one, coalescing together to grow at an insane rate. His life force and life energy were also sent into overdrive, and his force of vitality grew at an exponential rate

with every passing second!

Qi Practitioners cultivate their lives, and yet, there would always be a five to six times difference in the lifespan of the mortal body and Yuan Shen with the latter having the longer lifespan. However, as of now, Zhong Yue's blood essences of the Yuan Shen and mortal body coalesced together into one with his opening of the Bloodline Secret Realm. The lifespan of his Yuan Shen and mortal body were now equal!

Initially, his mortal body only had a lifespan of 200 years, whereas his Yuan Shen had more than a thousand years to live. But now, his mortal lifespan had increased to over five hundred years and was still rising without any loss of momentum!

This was an incredible boon, as even the Swords Gate old headmaster, an Imminent Deity magnate, only had a lifespan of over 600-700 years. And now, as humanity was on the verge of facing its greatest trial, the fires of his life were already reaching the final fibers

of its wick.

Zhong Yue's lifespan had now exceeded that of the Imminent Deity magnates!

Opening the sixth secret realm and breaking through the boundaries of the blood essence between the Yuan Shen and mortal body was one of the most significant breakthroughs that he would ever achieve in his cultivation!

Behind him, the Bloodline Wheel was growing more prominent, and soon, the Six Paths were created in his body with the six secret realms forming a mini replica of the Six Paths Reincarnation!

The moment the Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested in his body, Zhong Yue could feel a connection of his Six Paths of Reincarnation to a greater existence.

The sky blurred away, and space ceased to matter. Everything he could see and everything he could sense was disintegrating and reforming into something Zhong Yue could never comprehend. He could see himself flying out of the Ancestral Star, with the skies turning darker than black and the only light sources being the stars and planets that he flitted past.

He became larger and taller, and one after another, he was flying past solar systems flew beneath him. After an amount of time that was unbeknownst to him, the whole galaxy appeared before his eyes, revolving like a slowly swirling wheel of light.

Then, he saw the second galaxy, then the third, the fourth, the fifth….

In the end, six galaxies appeared in his vision, each of which was formed by a seemingly infinite number of stars, planets, and every other celestial body. And in the center of the six galaxies, there was an unimaginably gigantic man. Looking at the galaxies, Zhong Yue didn't know what to say, as such a scene was beyond the scope of words.

What was before his eyes was the Six Paths World – the true form of the Six Paths of Reincarnation where even the Ancestral Star he lived in was just a negligible speck of dust when measured against the whole!

What Feng Xiaozhong had once seen was now laid bare before his eyes!

“Dao! Dao! Dao! Dao! Dao! Dao!”

The indescribably huge man slowly raised his head up and spoke six ‘Dao’s at Zhong Yue.
