Rise of Humanity
Page 545Chapter 545 - Turning The Fake to Real
When Zhong Yue returned to the Ancestral Star, the many races including Swords Gate were all searching for the Innate Sun Spirit Bodies. Shui Zian led the human experts and searched every crevice of land within the Great Wilderness. Zhong Yue heard the news and was surprised as well, he thought, The ten Great Sun True Spirits really fall in the Ancestral Star, how is that possible?
He thought that it was already a rare occasion for any one of the ten Great Sun True Spirits to fall on the Ancestral Star, yet who knew that all ten of them would really end up in the Ancestral Star!
Something doesn’t feel right here, the whole thing looks odd, is someone pulling strings in the dark?
Zhong Yue frowned, the Great Sun True Spirits were said to be the strongest innate spirits and the Innate Sun Spirit Body was the strongest among them as well. For ten of them to rise together, no one would believed it to pure coincidence!
These True Spirits were forced out by the huge claw in the sun, is this exactly what the huge claw wanted? For ten Great Sun True Spirits swarming into the Ancestral Star? What is it trying to do?
These ten Innate Sun Spirit Bodies should still be in their respective mother’s wombs. And their arrival into the world was bound to overturn its order... just like what Xuan Yuan is fated to do.
The birth of the Innate Sun Spirit Bodies would surely bring the similar kind of signs. The Ancestral Star races searched for these ten Innate Sun Spirit Bodies but no one could find anything, it seems like it wasn’t time for them to come out yet.
If the insect gods survived, they should be reaching the Ancestral Star already by now.
Zhong Yue cast the matter of the Innate Sun Spirit Bodies to the back of his mind, his top priority now was to increase his cultivation as much as possible. The day the insect gods reaches them would be the day where the living beings in Ancestral Star would experience a great calamity!
He cast out Yu Wenju’s last Yuan Shen secret realm as a light wheel in front of him. This ussr was crafted into a treasure by him already, it could be small like a ring on his fingers or huge like a secret realm.
Zhong Yue strode into it and took out the scale. He cast all of his skills in front of the scale and looked at his own flaws through the reflection so that he could fix these flaws and perfect his skills.
The Sui Tree was also cast out in front of the mirror as he started attaining the abstrusities in the Sui Tree. His Yuan Shen never left the Sui Tree, it stayed in there and was nourished by the tree, slowly turning into the Great Sun True Spirits.
His prowess was skyrocketing, his arcane energy was stronger, his cultivation grew further and he was just half a step away from the True Spirit level now.
As of now, his Golden Crow Yuan Shen and Star Toad Yuan Shen were both at the True Spirit level already. Long Yue and Bo Xun were the True Spirit magnates now, and all he had to do now was cultivate his Fuxi Yuan Shen into the True Spirit level.
Meanwhile, in the sun, a loud voice bombarded inside of the sun.
“Realm emperor, emperor! Realm Emperor Bo Luo! Did you find the imperial tomb?”
“I found it." The owner of the huge claw answered, its voice rumbled within the sun, “But it’s too strong, not only can I not break through the seal, I was wounded instead. I am now remedying my injuries.”
“No need to interfere with the imperial tomb anymore." The mysterious voice said, but no one else could be seen around. His voice was strong and powerful, so strong that the sunfire around was disrupted by the voice itself, “The imperial tombs are the last line of defense to the Ancestral Star, that’s why we all wanted them to be destroyed. But it was truly a nearly impossible task. After all, there were two eras of Heavenly Sovereigns and Earthly Sovereigns that were buried in this waste star. Their imperial tombs are beyond breakable, or otherwise, they would’ve been taken down a long time ago. Realm Emperor Bo Luo, you can return to your Six Paths World now.”
The huge claw’s owner shook his head, he said, “So long as the waste star exists, I can never sleep tight and eat well.”
The voice smirked and answered, “Relax, I brought good news for you. There are a few higher existences that forged a treasure that goes by the name of Divine Tree of Knowledge, it will slowly change the environment of the waste star and imperial emperor’s Skymetrical Scroll will completely sever the waste star’s link to the outside world. These two treasures are already on their way to the Ancestral Star, there is no need to do anything anymore now.”
The huge claw’s owner was shocked before he said and said while smiling, “If even that imperial emperor stepped in to take care of the waste star, then I am relieved now. It might sound ridiculous, but I even forced out eleven Great Sun True Spirits to the waste star to raise chaos within it. Now looking back at it, it seems like I was doing useless work here.”
“Eleven Great Sun True Spirits?" The voice laughed and said, “You are really worrying too much. But I have to say, with the arrival of the two treasures, your eleven Great Sun True Spirits won’t be able to leave the Ancestral Star at all.”
The owner of the huge claw strode out from the sun, he waved his claw and a spatial rift opened in front of him. He laughed and said, “Eleven were forced out by me, but only ten arrived in the waste star. One of them was tamed before it managed to fall onto the waste star.”
“Oh?" The voice turned solemn, it said, “A living being from the Ancestral Star? Realm Emperor Bo Luo, be cautious. The waste star was once an imperial planet, there were many monarchs that were born on it. If this person’s destiny is somewhat similar to theirs, then all of our efforts can go to ruin just because of their existence!”
“Hahaha, you are worrying too much. He was shone by my scale and that little one is merely an ordinary cultivator with no specialties." The huge claw’s owner said nonchalantly, “He is too pathetic. I only let him go because he is also a sun spirit cultivator. After he acquired the Sui Tree, he will be another Innate Sun Spirit Body, in addition to the others, there will be eleven Innate Sun Spirit Bodies still. Ten is an inauspicious number, anything beyond nine will only bring calamity, let alone eleven! One Innate Sun Spirit Body is a blessing, but eleven Innate Sun Spirit Bodies will only spell disaster to the world! The waste star will not be able to pull through such a calamity.”
{In Chinese philosophy, nine means extreme and anything beyond nine will have an opposite effect.}
“True, but you are still inferior to the imperial emperor.”
“Of course, the imperial emperor executed a plan to end the waste star once and for all. Surely I can’t be better than that.”
Today’s the day!
……
Zhong Yue sat in front of the scale, totem patterns weaved behind him and his Yuan Shen was slowly compressing. His Golden Crow Yuan Shen and Star Toad Yuan Shen were both True Spirits already, they were breathing out the Yin and Yang Qi and refined on his Yuan Shen.
Not only that, but there were two young experts sitting behind him as well. It was none other than Long Yue and Bo Xun, he recalled them to help him break through into the True Spirit level!
Long Yue was casting the celestial arcane energy while Bo Xun was casting out the demon arcane energy. These arcane energies were visualized into various totem patterns that were struck into Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen.
Meanwhile, above the Fuxi Yuan Shen in the sky, his Nine Revolving Inner Core was glimmering in rays and shone on the Yuan Shen, helping it refine the totem patterns in it!
His inner core was filled with billowing blood essence that gushed into his Fuxi Yuan Shen. Long Yue and Bo Xun’s blood essences were also billowing into his Yuan Shen.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue’s mortal body sat in the lotus position, the divine third eye was opened wide and so were his eyes. Three golden rays shone on the mirror and watched closely on the flaws that were still persisting in his Yuan Shen.
These three godly rays were so thin they were nearly imperceptible. As they were reflected by the scale, they surged into the Fuxi Yuan Shen and started amending the flaws in it.
With this scale mirror, Zhong Yue was able to clearly see his flaws. He could fix the flaws and correct himself as much as possible, allowing him to achieve more in the shortest time possible.
Other than that, there were over dozens of divine herbs that were surging their medicinal efficacies into his Fuxi Yuan Shen!
The medicinal efficacies of these divine herbs, the arcane energies, totem patterns and psyches all turned into the purest form of energy that surged into his Fuxi Yuan Shen!
By now, Zhong Yue had been in closed door training of over two months already. Everythig was so that he could break through to the True Spirit level!
Even the Six Gentlemen of Returning Ruins, including Husan Weng were here surging their medicinal efficacies into Zhong Yue.
Husan Weng wasn’t back to its peak state yet, but after hearing that Zhong Yue was breaking through to the level of True Spirit, it still rushed over to help him.
Having over dozens of divine herbs helping him, just imagine how incredible was that.
Yet, Zhong Yue’s Fuxi True Spirit was still not successfully cultivated yet; the progress was rather slow.
The key to the whole True Spirit level was to cultivate the manifested spirits into the True Spirits in their Yuan Shen. Zhong Yue’s progress was so slow was because he never acquired the Fuxi spirit.
His Fuxi Yuan Shen was only possible with him using his soul as the base, it was his soul that took the form of the Fuxi and the spirits inside the Fuxi Yuan Shen were the sun and moon spirits instead of the Fuxi spirit.
The conventional method all the other Qi Practitioners took for their Yuan Shen was using their spirit as the base and their soul as the support. This way, it was easier to cultivate, relatively easier than the other way round.
Zhong Yue had done it the other way round, he chose to use his soul as the base and the spirits as the support, that’s why he could cultivate the Fuxi Yuan Shen. It was also what caused his soul to be even stronger than his own Sun Moon Twin Spirits!
But as a consequence, if he wanted to cultivate his Fuxi Yuan Shen into a True Spirit, he actually had to cultivate his soul into the True Spirit!
Cultivating a soul to the True Spirit was unprecedented, no one had ever done something like that, and so he didn’t have anything to guide him or anything to refer to. The only thing he could rely on was himself, the only thing he could do was keep trying until one day, he can truly succeed. If he did, then he could proudly announce that he walked on a path that no one had ever walked before!
After a long time, Zhong Yue muffled a deep groan and his Yuan Shen shuddered violently. The energy inside of his Yuan Shen started to lose control and dissipated into the surroundings. The whole Yuan Shen secret realms was filled with spiritual energy that nourished the surrounding flora, turning the whole place into a huge forest. It was truly a marvelous scene to behold.
But it also carried another meaning in it... that he had failed.
Zhong Yue’s face was solemn, although he had been refining his Yuan Shen for two months and was already at a level stronger than all of his peers, his soul still couldn’t be transformed into the True Spirit.
The issue lies in my Yuan Shen, my ‘spirit’ is my soul, it is not the Fuxi spirit. Does that mean I can only break through if I find the Fuxi spirit?
He knew exactly what went wrong, but he didn’t want to resign himself to the fact. Not to mention that he hadn’t the slightest clue on where to find the Fuxi spirit, even if he did have the abilities to acquire it. The unwillingness in him will still greatly affect his frame of mind and would eventually become a greater problem in the future!
