Rise of Humanity

“This is known as the Song Realm. I heard that all the the living beings in here are natural singers and dancers. Their voices are among the best of the best.” Ma Sansou glanced around and continued, “They are said to have a voice closet to the voice of Dao. What a shame the powers of Six Paths and Reincarnation aren’t complete here in this realm. Else, a higher-level being and civilization would’ve been born.”

Zhong Yue shook his head, “Whether or not a civilization is great does not depend on the Six Paths Reincarnation. After all, before the Six Paths Reincarnation, there were still some of the greatest civilizations.”

All of a sudden, a blazing sun rose into the sky as Zhong Yue visualized it with his three-legged Golden Crow.

From far, one could see the sun imbuing the Golden Crow as it flashed across the sky and disappeared over the horizon.

Then, another bright moon rose behind Zhong Yue, within it was his Star Toad, also flashing across the sky and disappeared in another direction.

As soon as the sun spirit and moon spirit were separated from his Yuan Shen, his cultivation base plummeted to a critical level. But even so, Ma Sansou could still feel a wide gap between their strengths!

He has cast out his spirits and it’s only his soul left within him. But why is that he is still so strong that I can feel my heart pounding? Ma Sansou was cracking his head.

Inside of the blazing sun and bright moon, Zhong Yue’s spirits spreaded out their psyches and searched for Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie.

His psyche covered over ten thousand miles of land, scanning every inch of the perimeter even a thousand miles deep into the underground. Such a level of psyche was already comparable to those of gods!

After a few days, Zhong Yue’s twin spirits had made a round across the realm, having scanned every piece of land. But even after discovering the countless native living creatures of the realm, Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er were still nowhere to be found.

Indeed, the Song Realm was just as Ma Sansou had described. The living beings here all had beautiful voices. Everyone here was a natural singer, their voice seeming to be most in tune with the Dao.

Voices like these appeared to be incredibly similar to Feng Wuji’s【Skills of Diction】, only that they were far weaker in strength.

Feng Wuji’s【Skills of Diction】was a technique in and of itself, the language he spokewas the innate god’s language. Whereas the singers of Song Realm sings in resonance to the voice of Dao to cast the skills they desired.

This was also the root of why the Song Realm couldn’t nurture a great civilization—because they didn’t strengthen themselves but instead, merely just utilizing the power of nature.

Where would they be? Zhong Yue pondered. Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er must’ve went into hiding or otherwise the followers of King Geng would’ve found them already.

However, just how deep and well hidden were they? Even he couldn’t find them with his overpowering psyche!

After Zhong Yue took out the totem pillars and tried to connect to the ladies but to no avail, he couldn’t help but look at Ma Sansou and question in his heart if that brat had lied to him.

It was as if Ma Sansou could mind-read, as soon as Zhong Yue looked at him, he immediately raised his hands up in the air and shouted, “I did not lie! I swear I didn’t! If I lied, I swear that the heaven will punish me with the strongest lightning tribulation and I shall never have the chance to reincarnate!”

Zhong Yue’s psyche rumbled over, he said slowly, “Don’t need to swear in so badly. Even if you did lie, the heaven still wouldn’t have the chance to punish you.”

Ma Sansou shivered in fear, it was the first time he prayed so hard that Zhong Yue could find Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er in the Song Realm.

I thought Jin’er the【Mystical Infinite Transformation】and she mastered it. It’s possible that Jin’er has imparted it to Senior Martial Sister Jun. If they’ve changed their forms, it’s possible that they can escape my scans.

Zhong Yue thought, Now, I can only wait for them to find me. I’ve just cast out the Golden Crow and Star Toad to search for them. If they are really here in the Song Realm, they would’ve noticed my Sun Moon Twin Spirits and understood that it was me. Naturally, they would have come to me on their own.

However, he was worried about whether or not Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie had decided to reincarnate to escape King Geng’s followers. As if they did, they would’ve been reborn as a living being of the Song Realm, losing all their memories. Furthermore, the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation was not complete here, it would still be a mystery if they were able to successfully reincarnate.

I hope they didn’t. Zhong Yue stood and waited for days. All of a sudden, there were voices singing from far. They sounded like the voice of Dao, resonating with the nature’s power, sounded like a band of birds chirping and a phoenix mourning, or like a young lady singing in yearning for her lover.

Zhong Yue immediately opened his divine third eye and glanced over. The voices came from two clam ladies standing above the sea surface. They were looking at him from far, and the clamshell on their backs were fluttering like wings.

Zhong Yue cast the Six Paths Reincarnation and his mortal body returned to him for a few moments before disappearing again.

The two clam ladies exchanged a look, they begin to sing again while diving into the sea.

Zhong Yue strode behind their trails and Ma Sansou quickly followed. They followed the clam ladies and dived into the deep sea.

They followed down a pathway lightened up by bright pearls. Soon after, they’ve arrived at the front of a palace, there were young ladies swimming in and out of it.

Zhong Yue looked over and relaxed himself as soon as he noticed that the sea ladies were cultivating the Swords Gate cultivation technique. This would have been the works of Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie.

Whereas the palace itself wasn’t built by Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er but passed down from the ancient days.

Then, there was a voice that started singing within the palace. The language it sung was indiscernible, but the joy in it could be clearly felt. The abstrusities within the voice were far beyond any singers in this realm, some of it was even difficult for Zhong Yue to attain. However, as soon as he heard the voice, the totem patterns in his body started resonating to it.

Especially the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation he had cultivated, it was resonating and reshaping in the voice of the singer. Some of the mistakes that even Zhong Yue and the Realm Lord didn’t notice were slowly corrected by the voice!

Not only that, but Zhong Yue could even vaguely feel his mortal body’s heart pounding in his chest as if his mortal body would recover anytime now.

“Brat Yue, it’s the song of the innate gods, sung in the language of the innate gods!” Xin Huo exclaimed, “Strange, did the Song Realm nurture an innate god? No, no, the Song Realm is far too young a realm to even nurture an innate god. Then it means that it was the innate god that created this realm. After the creation of the Song Realm, she rested sometime in this place and sung a song in here!”

Zhong Yue was dumbfounded and started imagining what happened here. A young lady created the Song Realm and its living beings. As the singers of Song Realm were dancing and singing happily, the young lady casually waved her hand and an ancient palace rose in the deep sea. When she was resting in the palace, she heard the singers and decided to express her joy by singing along with the singers.

Even after she leaving the Song Realm, her voice continued to linger eternally.

What a beautiful scene, what an amazing story.

So the ancient figure that experimented on the Six Paths Reincarnation in this Six Paths World was an innate lady god. Zhong Yue praised and in his heart and lamented at the same time, What a shame I wasn’t born earlier and am still too weak as well. I couldn’t witness her creating the realms and creating the Six Paths Reincarnation. However, it’s already a huge blessing to be able to listen to her sing.

Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er was trapped in the Song Realm and had spent thirty years in here alongside the innate god’s song. It would only be natural for them to see a huge leap in strength.

“Guests, the palace masters have been waiting for long.” One of the clam ladies walked out of the palace and bowed at them.

Zhong Yue strode into the palace while he ordered, “Sansou, wait outside until I return.”

Ma Sansou obediently stopped outside of the palace. When Zhong Yue walked into the palace, he saw two lovely young ladies standing before him. One appeared to be like a heroine and the other an affectionate lady in love.

“Jin’er, senior martial sister…” Zhong Yue’s psyche shuddered in utter joy, he strode toward the ladies but suddenly stopped seconds before hugging them. He hadn’t recovered his mortal body and was still in his skeleton form, he was afraid that he would frighten them.

Jun Sixie chortled at him and walked over, openly hugging onto his skeleton body, she said laughingly, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you are you. No matter what you become, I still won’t be afraid of you.”

Zhong Yue hugged her back as he opened his mouth and laughed soundlessly.

“But you are still sorta stiff to hug.” Jun Sixie teased.

Qiu Jin’er also came over and clung herself into his arms. Zhong Yue hugged her back but didn’t dare to use too much strength in fear of hurting her.

After they reunite, Zhong Yue looked at the ladies and praised again. They were much stronger than before.

Qiu Jin’er had opened the Bloodline Wheel and formed the sixth wheel, whereas Jun Sixie had awakened her Innate True Spirit but still had yet to open the sixth realm.

Clearly, they both had their own fortuitous encounters to have improved greatly.

Zhong Yue’s pyshce rumbled and asked, “How did the two of you end up here?”

Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er exchanged a look, and Qiu Jin’er said, “I’ve taken away one of King Geng’s fortunes, it was a godly ray that allowed me to open the Bloodline Wheel. After that, we sought refuge in this realm. Here, we met a few singers and they led us here where we continued to stay. Not long ago, senior martial sister and I noticed senior martial brother’s psyche through the sea. She took the form of a mermaid and surfaced to observe the abnormally. She saw the blazing sun with the Golden Crow and suspected it was you.”

Jun Sixie laughed and continued, “After that, when we saw the bright moon and the Star Toad, we were sure that it was you.”

“I see.” Zhong Yue nodded and then asked solemnly, “Have the two of you absorbed any spiritual energy from this lower realm?”
