Rise of Humanity

The four of them then turned back, and Fu Li, who held the bone club in his head asked, “Master, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Panhu Navy, and Yu Lin Army are all here! Bi An is also taken by them! They are waiting for the time to execute me before everyone when they arrive at the fortress!”

Zhong Yue’s expression was very gloomy and he said, “I already know this. There is a talent in the Heaven Court who took out all the spies King Zi Guang placed in Heaven Court and even managed to hide this from King Zi Guang. I know who this talent is, it can only be Consort Tian Si who had just returned. Only her Karma Dao can pinpoint King Zi Guang’s spies and take them out without King Zi Guang’s knowledge. What concerns me most is why Consort Tian Si helped Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?”

The Karma Dao was used to calculate a person’s past, and when compared to Yun Juanshu’s Six Paths Heavenly Eye, they both had their own strengths; using the Karma Dao to determine a person’s identity was the easiest way out and the only person Zhong Yue knew who could do this apart from himself was Consort Tian Si.

Hence, Zhong Yue assumed that Consort Tian Si was back at Zi Wei from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.

However, she served a different lord, not Heavenly Monarch Di Ming; so why did she help him remove the Xian Tian Palace’s spies?

There was something fishy going on for sure.

Fu Li scratched his head and carefully asked, “Master, how about little cousin Bi An….”

“Once we get out, we will go save him!”

Zhong Yue replied without hesitation, “I am after all, his guardian, I can’t stand watching as he is eaten.”

“But how?”

Asked a confused Xin Huo, “With that bell guarding the Huangting sacred ground, whether or not we can sneak in remains a question. Even if we managed to sneak in, how are we going to come out in one piece? It’s impossible to remain undetected all that time! After all, that fat boy Bi An is being cooked by a few Imperial Emperors! With just Fu Li and Fu Qizhi, you can’t save Bi An. You might even find yourself trapped there! This is not to mention if you trigger the Heavens Divine Dao Bell!”

The Huangting Clan’s sacred ground located at the center was right under the coverage of the bell, how could the ancient ship sneak into the place without triggering the bell?

After saving Bi An, the Huangting Clan and the bell would be alarmed about their presence and when that happens, how were they supposed to escape?”

The Huangting Clan alone was going to be a great threat to them as this clan itself was a monarch race that commanded two army divisions in the Heaven Court, let alone the Panhu Clan, which was a sovereign race!

However, none of them were as difficult to be dealt with as the Heavens Divine Dao Bell!

Things were very different when the bell’s spirit acted on its own instinct and when being yielded by the Huangting Clan; when its on its own, the spirit’s attack was not that strong, which granted the ancient ship the golden opportunity to escape but once they were being controlled by the Huangting Clan, the bell’s power would increase drastically and their safety would be very much at stake by then.

Saving Fu Li was a simple mission but not for saving Bi An.

The four then arrived before the dimensional fragment, where they met with two Huangting Clan’s wardens who were trying to destroy the fragment; the seals Zhong Yue left behind were already lifted by them.

And the other wardens? They’ve already run right into the dimensional fragment panicky and got swallowed entirely.

Fu Li acted right away, slamming the two wardens to their death and Zhong Yue kept the fragment away into the Six Paths Bead.

With a flick of his mind, Zhong Yue kept Fu Li, Fu Qizhi and Hundun Yu into his Yuan Shen secret realms and his disguise changed again, turning back to Ting Fengcen as he walked away.

Fortunately, nothing happened and they’d all returned to the ship. Zhong Yue stood there doing nothing for a moment before he activated the ship, leaving the Huangting Clan’s sacred ground and arriving at the outer realm.

“Elder Qi, you stay here with Senior Martial Brother Yu.”

Zhong Yue said while leaving 2,000,000 incarnations behind, “Wait here for my signal to activate the Fusang Divine Tree.”

Fu Qizhi hurriedly stopped him, “You are trying to sneak in to save Bi An? There are a few Imperial Emperors around him right now. With just you and Fu Li alone, you are no match to them!”

“Which is why I need your help, from the outside”

Zhong Yue comforted him with a smile, activated the ancient ship and slowly closed into the bell through the endless dimensions.

The closer he got to the bell, the more cautious Zhong Yue became; in the dimensions were also the bell’s totem patterns taking shape of circles that were all connected, the alluring and complicated patterns itself were warning intruders about its might!

This monarch bell’s might was just miraculous! Its shape was a bell, but in truth, it was entirely made of Daos; anyone who tried to sneak into the sacred grounds would first have to sneak past these monarch level Daos.

Rarely would monarch weapons be made of divine gold or any other divine materials for they were usually formed from Daos. The monarch level existences had already achieved a level where they could materialize everything and the most outstanding of all was their Daos.

But there was also some special cases, like the Hundun Clan’s monarch weapon Fusang Divine Tree that was made from the actual Fusang Divine Tree’s branch. However, the divine tree itself was a spiritual creation from the heaven and earth, entirely made of Daos.

While the ancient ship was a powerful item created by the many Deity Kings from the Dark Age, imbued with the Space Dao that the Space Deity King was so proud of, Zhong Yue was not confident at all if it could sneak past these monarch level Daos.

The ancient ship’s innate flesh wings flapped stealthily as Zhong Yue carefully maneuvered the ship towards the rings of monarch Daos.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a little girl with a mini bell dangling on her waist, sitting barefooted and absorbing the Huangting Clan’s power of worship.

It was the Heavens Divine Dao Bell’s spirit!

Without any hesitation, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and directed his attention somewhere else to avoid being detected by her.

After that, he became even more cautious. At this point, the ancient ship’s wings had already touched the bell’s monarch Daos; as the wings flapped, they severed the Daos but the Daos remained intact, yet located in different dimensions.

The ancient ships silently sailed through the dimensional cracks and entered the Huangting sacred ground.

Suddenly, the bell spirit little girl looked towards the ship’s direction in surprise as she felt abnormalities coming from the Daos that were now located in different dimensions.

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped right away. Although the ship was able to hide from her vision within the endless dimensions, Zhong Yue just couldn’t guarantee that the little girl wouldn’t catch onto something!

Another bell noise rang and the dimensions severed by the ancient ship shattered by that severed monarch level Dao and it recovered to its original state.

The little girl walked around on that monarch level Dao and she was very puzzled.

On the ancient ship, Zhong Yue and Fu Li’s heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, after taking a stroll, the little girl discovered nothing and returned to absorbing the power of worship.

Zhong Yue and Fu Li exhaled deeply and they continued the journey carefully. After some time, they’d finally snuck past the bell and entered the sacred ground.

Zhong Yue raised his head while wearing a serious expression.

The Heavens Divine Dao Bell hung high above the sacred ground, shadowed over it and the patterns on the bell were just like countless coiling dragons that each turning towards their own directions.

As they were now in the sacred ground, they were also within the bell’s coverage and if the bell attacked them, they would be met with a swift death!

The ancient ship continued to move forward, closed in the sacred palace imprisoning Bi An, stopped right before the gates and hid well within the dimensions.

“Fu Li, hide in my Yuan Shen secret realms.”

Zhong Yue ordered and Fu Li did as he said immediately.

The young man then recollected his thoughts, calmed himself down and turned back into Ting Fengcen’s looks, walked out from the dimensions after clearing the area.

He then walked towards the sacred palace without hiding.

“Crown Prince Cen!”

The guards bowed right away and after giving them a cold reply, Zhong Yue walked into the palace expressionlessly.

Outside of the alchemy chamber, two Huangting Deity Emperors smiled, “Crown Prince Cen, the three old ancestors said that no one is to enter the chamber.”

Zhong Yue humphed coldly, “Even I? The crown prince?”

The two guards exchanged a look and finding no way to stop Zhong Yue, they all stood aside.

Zhong Yue entered the chamber and what entered his vision were gods that were moving around carrying all sorts of precious ingredients before pouring them into the cauldron. Meanwhile, the three Huangting Clan’s elders surrounded the stove, slamming out all sorts of seals to keep the fire burning fiercely to melt Bi An.

“Delicious! How I wish I can keep on eating like this …”

From the cauldron above the stove came Bi An’s crying voice, “More! I want to eat more before I die! Are there any more herbs?”

“This brat is still well alive! Impressive, no wonder he is the living saint herb that can help us to advance into the monarch level!”

One of the elders smiled, “We’ve stuffed so many herbs into the cauldron to cook him into a flesh herb! This time, he will be able to help two to three Imperial Emperors to advance into the monarch level!”

Another elder said, “This is a very rare one, one that can’t be found in 100,000 years! We must draw out his full potential and unleash everything he has. If our Huangting Clan is able to produce a few more monarchs, we might even become the ruler of this universe…. Crown Prince Cen? What brings you here?”

“I’m melting!” shouted Bi An at the same time, “You old dogs! Let me out or I will show you no mercy when my guardian arrives!”

Zhong Yue then bowed at the elders, “Father sent me here to see if the saint herb is completed.”

“Brother Daoji sure is an impatient one.”

The elders burst out laughing as they shook, “Perhaps he is afraid of us eating the herb ourselves.”

“Let me go or I’ll pee in here!” continued Bi An, “I will also unload everything in my stomach, let’s see how will you be able to swallow the herb later!”

The speechless Zhong Yue said, “Father just told me that Leizhe Celestial Race’s Chuo Long is here, says that he is looking for his son. Father is now stalling him and he told me that if you have yet to melt Bi An into the herb, then let Chuo Long take him away. But if what done is done, then we have to insist that we did not see him at all.”

The elders’ expression changed drastically and they shouted, “Chuo Long is here? This is bad!”

One of them frowned, “What should we do? He is an innate dragon god with immense power, if he found us …”

….

At the same time, Ting Fengcen came walking towards the palace and the guards scratched their head, “Crown Prince Cen, didn’t you just enter? When did you come out?”

“Me? Enter the palace?”

Ting Fengcen stunned for a split second before he hurriedly shouted, “Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils!”
