Rise of Humanity

On the Turtle Fishing Platform, the Jinwu experts still hadn’t fled the scene and suddenly, there were people shouting, “That Jinwu clansmen is sent back out by the Chaos Divine Turtle!”

The experts quickly looked down in shock and sure enough, they saw the Chaos Divine Turtle spurting out Zhong Yue from its mouth and left.

“He is not dead!”

“Did the Chaos Divine Turtle tell him the future?”

“Did he study the drawings on the Chaos Divine Turtle?”

…

The Jinwu experts became filled with hope. Although the Jinwu Clan couldn’t fish up a Chaos Divine Turtle but one of the clansmen managed to bait the Chaos Divine Turtle and even return from the Chaos. This had never happened before and no one could predict just how much benefits has this clansman of theirs have acquired.

Above the fire ocean, Zhong Yue turned into the three-taloned Golden Crow and fluttered his wings. He evaded a million miles high fire waves while lamenting in his heart and questioned, Why didn’t the Chaos Divine Turtle tell me the future?

The Chaos Divine Turtles were incredibly accurate in foretelling the future. After all, what they spoke of was what they saw happening in the flow of time. But why didn’t the Chaos Divine Turtle tell him anything this time?

He was planning to ask if the human race would still remain as its lowly status in the future, whether the Fuxi Clan could rise again; he also wanted to know his future achievements, to see if he could defeat the evil presence, could avenge the death of his race, and how to lift off the bloodline seals in the human race.

There were so many questions he needed answers for, but the Chaos Divine Turtle didn’t even give him the chance to ask.

Perhaps, I’ll have to carve out his nostrils and let him have a nose for him to tell me the future. Zhong Yue thought about it and lamented. Even he knew this, he wasn’t strong enough to cause any disruptions to the Hundun and carve a nose out on its face.

No, no, Jin Chufei said the Jinwu Clan has fished up the Chaos Divine Turtles before and heard of the future. If that’s true, one wouldn’t have to return the Chaos Divine Turtles with any facial features to hear the future, is it right? Or is it that I’ve not given the future because technically speaking, I didn’t fish it up?

Zhong Yue was perplexed, but the Chaos Divine Turtles had all returned to the Chaos, and so whatever questions he had now were destined to remain unanswered.

All of a sudden, Xin Huo said, “Brat Yue, perhaps he did tell you of your future, but you were extremely nervous at that time and somehow missed it?”

Xin Huo continued, “He did mention the Fuxi Clan’s Di Yue, does that mean he saw you becoming a monarch in the future? Why else would he call you Di ¹Yue?”

Zhong Yue was disappointed, he flew up for the platform and answered, “Foretelling that I’ve become a monarch? It doesn’t bring any value as I know, if I survive to the end, I will surely become a monarch. After all, I will not be worthy as the Xin Huo inheritor if I can’t even do that”

“Very true.” Xin Huo nodded, “When you become stronger, we can return and fish him up again. We’ll ask him and also carve some words on his shell. Hmm, how about, we write, ‘Master Xin Huo was here’?”

Zhong Yue laughed while Xin Huo went into a slumber. On the Turtle Fishing Platform, there were the Jinwu Imperial Emperors that flew toward him, their arcane energies curled around Zhong Yue’s waist and in the next instant, they pulled him up to the platform.

Zhong Yue’s body flickered as he returned to his human form Yi Feng, he bowed and thanked, “Thank you seniors for saving me.”

“Not a Jinwu clansman?” On the platform, the Jinwu experts were shocked. Initially, they thought he was a Jinwu expert, but truth be told, he wasn’t a Jinwu clansman at all but an outsider instead.

The seven Imperial Emperors also frowned, while Jin Chufei quickly stepped forward and introduced, “Ancestors, this is Senior Martial Brother Yi Feng of the Yi Clan, his comes from an ancient race with a few monarchs throughout its history.”

One of the Jinwu Imperial Emperors inspected Zhong Yue, he said, “Little Friend Yi Feng, have you heard of any future that the Chaos Divine Turtle might have mentioned? Can you tell me what it said?”

Zhong Yue shook, he answered, “Forgive me senior, but I was sent out by the Chaos Divine Turtle before it said anything.”

The old Imperial Emperor frowned, he continued, “Little friend, you are proficient in our Jinwu Clan’s cultivation techniques, even being able to turn into the Innate Golden Crow form which at certain aspects, were even better than our Jinwu Clan’s. I can’t help but wonder. Little friend, can you let us inspect your mortal body and Yuan Shen?”

And before the other six Imperial Emperors waited for Zhong Yue’s answers, their psyches have already infiltrated his body, unscrupulously searching through every part of his mortal body and Yuan Shen.

All of a sudden, the six Imperial Emperors all muffled a groan each at the same time and their faces contorted drastically. Then, they looked at the old Imperial Emperor and conducted their voices to him saying, “Big brother, there are monarch-level techniques protecting his psyche ocean.”

“Monarch-level skills? Not only does his race have monarchs in the past, it still has a living monarch living! Not to mention that this monarch personally took measures to protect his Yuan Shen?”

The old Imperial Emperor’s face changed, he became more polite and greeted, “Little friend, the Jinwu Clan has acted too rashly, please forgive our impertinence.”

To be able to place down monarch skills in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean to protect his brain and Yuan Shen, such a thing could only be done by a monarch himself.

Furthermore, the Yi Clan’s monarch must’ve valued Zhong Yue greatly, else, he wouldn’t have been protected by the monarch’s skills at all. Zhong Yue might even be the monarch’s son or disciple!

One of the Imperial Emperor, an old granny smiled, “Little Friend Yi Feng is from a noble race, the Jinwu Clan has treated you wrongly. Little friend, you’ve been brought away by the Chaos Divine Turtle, how’s the experience in the Chaos?”

The other Imperial Emperors stared closely at him in interests.

Zhong Yue shook, “I’ve was in its stomach, what would I be able to see in there? All I saw was darkness. By the time I saw light again, I was already out here.”

The Imperial Emperors were disappointed, they waved their hands and the Jinwu experts left to tend their own businesses. They sighed, “The fault is on us. We didn’t prepare better equipment for the fishing, thus allowing the Chaos Divine Turtle to break the fishline and escape. The blame is not Little Friend Yi’s to bear. Chufei, see Little Friend Yi to a comfortable visit in our race, do not bring shame upon us.”

Jin Chufei nodded sternly.

The old Jinwu Imperial Emperor conducted his sound and said, “Chufei, our Jinwu Clan has been working for so many years trying to catch a Chaos Divine Turtle and yet no single response was received. But this Yi Feng was here just once and the Chaos Divine Turtles was already gnawing on it. He must have some secrets. Keep him close and try to see if you can extract any information out of him!”

Jin Chufei immediately sterned his heart.

The seven Jinwu Imperial Emperors looked down at the fire ocean cleared of any Chaos Divine Turtles. Their faces turned dejected and murmured, “For a few tens of thousands of years, we’ve never succeeded even once. And now… Will we really have to wait another few tens of thousand years?”

Then, the seven Jinwu Imperial Emperors left one after another.

Jin Chufei walked forward, he smiled at Zhong Yue and said, “I was scared to death. Brother Yi, you are really courageous, if the worst really did happen, you’d wiped away instantly, not even your ashes will remain!”

Zhong Yue smiled, “I too, am feeling the aftershock now.”

Mo Haozun, Yao Xingyue, and the others also came around, they celebrated Zhong Yue’s survival. Then, Jin Chufei smiled, “Brother Yi, I see your Golden Crow’s cultivation techniques are different to ours here in the Jinwu Clan. I wonder if we can exchange our attainments together?”

Zhong Yue laughed happily, “Of course there is no problem to this. One of the main reasons that brought me here to the Jinwu Clan is to also witness the authentic Golden Crow cultivation techniques. It is my honor if Brother Chufei is willing to share his insights with me.”

Thus, Zhong Yue and Jin Chufei sat on the ground, they were exchanging their attainments in the Innate Pure Yang Dao. To Jin Chufei’s surprise, he could only converse with Zhong Yue for a few moments before the discussion was fully taken over by Zhong Yue.

He was a genuine Jinwu clansman, a Golden Crow by birth, born with the natural affinity to the Innate Pure Yang Dao. Yet, he was defeated by an outsider!

“Senior martial brother, please wait patiently for some time.” Jin Chufei said, then conducted his voice out from the discussion circle. Soon later, a Jinwu Deity Emperor was seen flying toward to them, he was wearing a golden robe ornamented with golden feathers.

He sat down in the lotus position with three legs and smiled, “Little Brother Yi, Chufei is no match to you in the attainments. Thus, he has invited me over to discuss with you.”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Senior martial brother, let’s begin.”

The two sat down and discussed their attainments in the respective Daos. And moments later, the Jinwu Deity Emperor couldn’t even fight back anymore. As such, Jin Chufei has quickly sent out a message again and another few Deity Emperors arrived at the scene.

The Deity Emperors sat around Zhong Yue, debating in their own attainments.

As the discussion went on, suns rose above their heads and shone brightly in rays. These were the Pure Yang suns formed by their totem patterns, a resemblance to their own attainments.

This wasn’t a fight based on the cultivation levels, but their own respective attainments. In terms of cultivation levels, these Deity Emperors were more than capable of killing Zhong Yue but in terms of attainments in the Dao, Zhong Yue stood above all of them.

The Pure Yang sun above his head rose higher than any other sun, it triumphed over the Deity Emperors’ suns and caused their brilliance to dim and totem patterns to cease. Then, the Deity Emperors’ suns eventually extinguished.

Soon after, there were another few Jinwu Deity Emperors joining the discussion. The suns rose high and the totem patterns that formed the suns were changing incessantly.

But it still didn’t take long before all of the suns were extinguished again and the Jinwu Deity Emperors grew despondent.

Jin Chufei was shocked, he quickly sent out messages again and this time, hundreds of the Jinwu Deity Emperors flying toward the Turtle Fishing Platform.

They filled the spaces around Zhong Yue, sitting in circles with him as the center. As they joined the discussion, the voices of Dao coming from their attainments and the Pure Yang suns that resembled their understandings have filled the platform.

But it was just less than half an hour and the Deity Emperors had lost as well.

Ji Yunfei, Yao Xingyue, and the others were utterly shocked. The Dao in discussion was the Jinwu Clan’s Innate Pure Yang Dao, yet, he was able to defeat the Deity Emperors in such a short time!

How was this possible?

On the other hand, Mu Suge was not surprised at all, he thought, These Jinwu clansmen are Golden Crows from birth but Mister Yi is an Innate Golden Crow himself in his past life. Who can actually defeat him on his own origin?

All of a sudden, the Deity Emperors stood up and left while 19 old Jinwu elders walked together toward the platform. They laughed, “Yi Clan sure is amazing. Your attainments in the Innate Pure Yang Dao is far above the young ones. And so today, the old ones will be discussing with you.”

Zhong Yue grew solemn, he raised his hand and said, “Please sit.”

Whereas Yao Xingyue and the others were glaring their eyes wide as they thought, 18 Jinwu Creators!
