Rise of Humanity
chapter-694

At long last, he voiced out a question that had been troubling him for a very long time; if two Qi Practitioners of the same level had reverse opened all six Yuan Shen secret realms and achieved all states of extremity, who would win?

Zhong Yue had never thought of this question before, but after having come across into Li Tianxing, Jun Wudao and the others, he couldn’t help but to raise the question.

Li Tianxing, Jun Wudao, King Geng and the others were among the strongest in the Prison Realm; although some of them might not have reverse opened the six wheels, their strengths were fearsome in their own rights.

But if this were the Heaven Realm, Earth Realm, or Celestial Realm, the top tier Qi Practitioners there would probably have reverse opened all six wheels and cultivated the Six Path Reincarnation techniques!

Yu Bochuan kept mum for a while, but after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, “Apart from those factors, there are other things that might restrain one’s strength. For example, the bloodline.”

Zhong Yue was not convinced and he asked quickly, “Then how about those from the same race and same clan?”

With a frown, Yu Bochuan said, “Then it will depend on the techniques and skills they cultivate. The better the stronger.”

“What if they cultivate the same thing?”

“Then it will depend on one’s experience and talent.”

“What if they are all the same?”

“How is that possible? It is impossible that two Qi Practitioners possess the same cultivation level, same technique and experience!” replied Yu Bochuan with a smile.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Zhong Yue said, “How about Bi and An?”

Yu Bochuan was immediately stunned until Zhong Yue continued, “What I asked was not answered properly. What I wanted to know was how does one win against another if both had the same cultivation level, cultivated the same Six Path Reincarnation techniques and the same amount experience. How does one win against another when they have the same conditions.”

“Difficult… It is extremely difficult. Both have similar strength and that makes it extremely hard to win over the other. Unless, unless….”

“Unless what?” asked Zhong Yue hurriedly.

“Unless you exceed the extreme states and reach a level far beyond the reach of others, only then can you win. But….” replied Yu Bochuan, “This is way too hard. We all walked on the paths our ancestors once walked. Even if we achieved all the extreme states, we are still walking on a path that had already been trodden by our ancestors. It is close to impossible to transcend that.”

Sui Sovereign created the cultivation techniques for the five great secret realms; Fuxi Celestial Race created the cultivation techniques for the Sun Moon Twin Spirit and during the end of their era, the Fuxi created the sixth secret realm, thus, shaped the cultivation paths of all current Qi Practitioners.

Though there were still risks if they followed this path, they could still reach great heights in the future someday. They might even be able to achieve what the ancestors achieved, but to transcend that was another matter entirely.

Now, Zhong Yue started to think about this problem as he realized that in just the Prison Realm alone, there were already so many strong Qi Practitioners; he did not know exactly how strong both King Geng and Yu Bochuan were, and it was already very difficult for him ti beat them. This was not to mention the fact that there were still the other five realms and also the 3,000 Six Paths World..

And on top of the 3,000 Six Paths World was still the Zi Wei Celestial Emperor and the Zi Wei Galaxy.

Just imagine there were how many of them in these planets and realms?

Perhaps, my Innate True Spirit is another path…. Zhong Yue thought.

The Innate True Spirit was a unique technique he created himself that used the soul to replace the spirit as the main controller of the Yuan Shen. If he awakened the True Spirit, then he might be able to exceed the extreme states of the True Spirit level!

And perhaps in the future, it would evolve into a new extreme state to become something the later generations could cultivate!

The two then silently enjoyed their tea and their thoughts ran wild in their minds as they realized that wanting to outperform everyone within the 3,000 Six Paths World was a difficult task to pull off.

Yu Bochuan was very strong. But he had his own worries. He now worried that he would run into someone that cultivated something similar to him since young while Zhong Yue was worrying bout awakening his Innate True Spirit and purifying his Fuxi bloodline.

After a long time, Yu Bochuan asked, “Brother Zhong, have you seen Shu Ye?”

“I have, but he did not come out and see me.”

“Good, he is the disciple of Heavenly King Shang and was placed in the Prison Realm by Heavenly King Shang as an eye.” explained Yu Bochuan, “Shu Ye is a little irascible and if you anger him, it will be hard to explain it to Heavenly King Shang.”

“If Shu Ye is Heavenly King Shang’s disciple, then whose disciple are you?” Zhong Yue asked as he looked at Yu Bochuan from head to toe.

“I came from the Heaven Realm,” Yu Bochuan replied, “I revealed my techniques and I’m afraid that Heavenly King Shang and the Realm Lord of Prison Realm might grow greedy of my techniques. Which is why I said that I’m from the Heaven Realm. I want to intimidate them so they wouldn’t dare to touch me. Brother Zhong, you must say you came from Heaven Realm as well and with that, both our lives will be guaranteed.”

With that, Zhong Yue finally understood why Yu Bochuan brought Shu Ye up; Yu Bochuan wanted to slowly shift the topic to Zhong Yue’s origins by using Shu Ye’s origin as a start.

Yu Bochuan said he came from the Heaven Realm and if so, he definitely came from one of the more prominent clans as his status was enough to make Heavenly King Shang and the the Prison Realm back off. When he left Ancient Land of Gods Grave, Yu Bochuan was also not interrogated by Heavenly King Shang and the Realm Lord.

And now, Zhong Yue faced the same thing; he had killed the son of the Realm Lord and with this itself, he will not escape the wrath of the Realm Lord. However, if he said that he came from the Heaven Realm, the Realm Lord would have to reconsider moving against Zhong Yue.

As Zhong Yue expected, Yu Bochuan asked, “Whose disciple are you?”

“I am a human, what do you expect?” replied Zhong Yue as he smiled.

Yu Bochuan frowned upon this answer and Yu Bochuan said again, “Why did you say it out loud?”

Zhong Yue laughed and replied, “Don’t worry, they won’t touch me.”

Yu Bochuan was not entirely convinced but he decided not to dwell on the matter. They continued to exchange their ideas and thoughts on the Six Path Reincarnations; Zhong Yue had studied the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation of the Realm Lord trapped in the Bone Realm while Yu Bochuan cultivated techniques of the Six Paths Reincarnation since young, granting him a unique understanding of it as well.

After half a month, Zhong Yue’s heart thumped suddenly and the song taught to him by Goddess Shen Hou rang in his ears. As the voices continued to echo in his ears, he felt that the oncoming completion of t he Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation was about to be completed and quickly excused himself.

Yu Bochuan sent him off and Zhong Yue quickly returned to the Song Realm, rushing straight to the palace beneath the ocean before shutting himself in seclusion without even seeing Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er first.

Throughout his journey, whatever he gained from the discussion with Bi an An, Li Tianxing and Yu Bochuan was already sufficient reward. And after receiving the buff from Goddess Shen Hou’s song, his Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation was finally going to be completed!

If the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation was completed, he would be able to regain his real body and his original strength. Most importantly, Zhong Yue could regain the cultivation level he once had!

Soul of his was cultivated to a very high degree when he was in the Bone Realm, only a step away from awakening his Innate True Spirit. With the addition of the “previous” life’s soul, he might manage to awaken his True Spirit and achieve the level that Yu Bochuan spoke of!

Time passed quickly and unknowingly, a hundred years had passed. In this period of time, Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou had cultivated the immortal body and even Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er had come out from their seclusion.

The two of them had learned a lot from Goddess Shen Hou having obtained various techniques and arts.

Now, Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er seemed to have elevated their talent to another level and the weakness in their fundamentals were all rectified and reconsolidated to the extent of exceeding those who had achieved the Six Path Reincarnation.

“Do the innate gods need to do this as well? As innate gods themselves, I thought that they did not need to open the Yuan Shen Secret Realm.”

Goddess Shen Hou answered, “Good question. Why? The Six Path Secret Realm is exactly like opening six dimensions in one’s body, to stimulate the power hidden in the soul and spirit. If they do not need to open the Six Path Secret Realms and unleash the hidden power, why would they still try to open the secret realms?”

Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie understood only a portion of what Goddess Shen Hou was saying. But suddenly, Qiu Jin’er’s eyes lit up as she said, “The [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] taught to me by an elder seems to be like that as well!”

Immediately, the intrigued Goddess Shen Hou asked, “Tell me about it.”

Qiu Jin’er then briefly shared the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] of Creator He Lan, and after Goddess Shen Hou roughly simulated the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] in her mind, she said, “Not bad, but not good enough. Let me try to improve it for you.”

She then proceeded to make her own alterations to the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] again and passed it to Qiu Jin’er before looking at Jun Sixie and saying, “Jin’er has the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] and my race’s visualization art. You, however, have reached so far without such an art… that is a truly amazing feat. Now, I will teach you the [Earth Mother’s Empress Art]. But as an Innate Water Spirit Body, this [Earth Mother’s Art of Empress] is slightly incompatible with you so I fear that you will have to change it to suit yourself in the future.”

Jun Sixie quickly thanked Goddess Shen Hou for her generosity.

In these hundred years, Zhong Yue remained in seclusion, and after a few more decades, the time to leave the Ancient Land of Gods Grave quickly approached. But Zhong Yue still showed no signs of leaving seclusion.

Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er were beginning to worry.

One day, when the two ladies arrived at the place Zhong Yue was cultivating, they realized that the doors were open and Zhong Yue was not inside the compound. Instead, they saw a tall young man standing at the side of the garden with his hands on his back, observing the dragon fish swimming in the pond.

The two ladies stared right into the back of the young man and felt their minds begin to drift away.

Zhong Yue turned around upon realizing the ladies’ arrival, only giving them a calm smile.

A warm wind blew toward them, and the surrounding flower petal danced in the wind. Some fell onto the ground beside the pond while others came to rest upon its serene surface.

“I’m back…” said Zhong Yue with a tranquil smile.
