Rise of Humanity

Chapter 1039: Nine Lives Black Wok

The two broke out into an argument, and soon, the argument devolved into them splitting from one another, with one demanding for the left gate and the other demanding the right gate. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue thought, _81 levels? Is the 81st level the level where Dao Venerate Fu Min killed Great Monarch Zao Hua? If this is the final level, then there is no way to pass_.

At the same time, Yi Wanjun gave Shi Yinji a glance, who knew what Yi Wanjun was trying to deliver right away and they both approached the two little ones, hugging onto them and calmed them down.

Zhong Yue then asked again, “So you can control the gate and realize the 80 levels again?”

The two little ones nodded to his question and Zhong Yue asked again, “If we fail, you can protect us from dying, yes?”

And they nodded again.

Zhong Yue let out a relieved breath, turned to his companions and said, “Then let us have a go, take a look at what Great Monarch Zao Hua experienced throughout his entire life. This might be a chance for all of you as well.”

With that, he walked right into the gate.

Hundun Yu, Shi Yinji and Yi Wanjun followed behind him and just as they entered the gate, a horrifying energy surged around them, altered their body and Yuan Shen, dwindled their cultivation level and they were all slammed back into a mortal’s level!

They all had a shock and when they looked around, they noticed they had all landed in different dimensions, a mountainous and picturesque environment but their companions were nowhere to be seen.

When they looked around, a monster leaped out from the dark and charged towards them!

This was the first level, the first crisis Great Monarch Zao Hua experienced when he was still a mortal.

In the other dimension, Zhong Yue slowly fought his way out, experiencing the dangers Great Monarch Zao Hua experienced, starting from a mortal, to a Qi Practitioner, then the Deity Overlord Level.

No wonder so many died in this place. The danger Great Monarch Zao Hua experienced traces all the way into the Imperial Emperor level. If someone is not strong at any level, there will be a risk of dying. There are many that entered this place but not everyone managed to cultivate to the Imperial Emperor. Without any knowledge and experience, this will become a lethal flaw!

He entered the next level, which was the Cataclysmic Realm, the stronger he was, the stronger the Cataclysmic Realm became. However, Zhong Yue was already unrivaled in the Deity Overlord level so the Cataclysmic Realm was not a problem to him.

He continued onto the next level, and this time, his cultivation level had exceeded the level of a Deity Overlord, which was a whole new level to him. This was when the real challenge began.

The Deity Emperor level was far greater than his level and he would have to die if he had no idea about this level!

Fortunately, Zhong Yue’s understanding towards this level was formidable and he passed this level with ease.

In the Creator level, he once again, defeated the level with ease with 33 layers of Heavens.

Then in the Imperial Emperor level, alone with his sabers, Zhong Yue hacked his way out and finally, he had arrived at the 80th level.

When Great Monarch Zao Hua entered the monarch level, he faced a crisis where he became compatible with the heaven and earth’s Daos and he had to stop himself from being assimilated by the Dao.

This was in fact, a torment but it was something all monarchs would have to go through before becoming a monarch.

Zhong Yue sat with his legs crossed, his own Daos merged with the heaven and earth’s Daos, was converted by them and after a very long time, the heaven and earth’s Daos finally yielded to him.

But this is someone else’s Daos, not mine.

Zhong Yue sighed. He got out from the gate and his monarch level cultivation fell back to the Deity Overlord level, My Dao Assimilation will be far stronger than his so his experience can only be a reference.

Even so, being able to experience a monarch’s entire life was truly a precious gain!

After some time, Hundun Yu came charging out, albeit injured, he was extremely excited. It was clear that he had gained much from this experience.

They waited for some time and the two ladies got up, covered in blood with Yi Wanjun saying, “I did not pass, I failed in the 64th level.”

Shi Yinji sighed and said, “58th.”

Yi Wanjun turned back again and said, “I’m going to challenge it again! Yinji, are you coming with me?”

Shi Yinji hesitated before agreeing to her offer, “Darling may be stronger than me back then but he is only a little bit stronger. He can’t possibly improve that much in just a short time! How do I whip him if he is so strong now.”

Whip?

Zhong Yue’s heart lightened for a second hearing this but he quickly calmed himself down. He kept the gate into his six light wheels and said, “Then we will let them challenge themselves. Senior Martial Brother Yu, let us continue.”

At the front, stone tablets moved constantly, printing their shadow onto the ground and adding a ton of black color into the world.

The stone tablet at the very front shone brightly, reflecting the world onto the ground like a mirror. The shadow was so realistic, and to pass through it, one would have to enter the shadows.

The first batch of forces were already here. And this time, Mo Yuanshu and the others had learned their lessons. They did not enter the shadow recklessly but waited there, waiting someone to be the first sacrifice.

Not long later, Feng Yulan and the others arrived and they also took positions by the side.

Dark Monarch’s three Daoist children arrived, but without pausing, they walked right into the shadow.

Primordial Crow Deity King’s two disciples arrived seconds later, both donned in pitch black robes. One of them spoke with a grating voice, “Dark Monarch’s Daoist children and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s three junior martial brothers are really brave! I must say that I admire them for their fearlessness!”

These people then occupied a corner for themselves. They all looked towards the shadowy mountains. However, Dark Monarch’s Daoist children had already disappeared, so there was no way to find out how far they had progressed.

Suddenly, a comet flew past them and charged right into the mountains before disappearing.

Everyone’s expression changed right away and Feng Yulan thought, This light…

Mo Yuanshu, Shen Qiushan’s heart thumped and they both exchanged a glance with Mo Yuanshu speaking first, “Heh, he appeared, just as expected!”

“Is he trying to meddle with our ancient universe’s business?” murmured Shen Qiushan as a red light flashed across his forehead.

Gao Yin and the other disciples appeared and he laughed, “Dear senior martial brothers, why are you all sitting here for?”

“Eh? We are waiting for Senior Martial Brother Gao to lead the way.”

Shen Qiushan calmly said, “This way please, Senior Martial Brother Gao.”

Gao Yin’s expression darkened down slightly but he burst out laughing right away, “Ladies and gentlemen, we are wasting time right now. I’m sure Dark Monarch’s disciples and that existence’s disciple had already entered the test. I assume everyone here knows how capable they are?”

Everyone present kept quiet for a second, this place was definitely dangerous but it was also impossible for them to stay stagnant, they had no choice but to continue.

But how many among them would survive?

“Yuzhen and Mingqiu, stay here.”

Feng Yulan ordered her junior martial brother and sister, leaving only Feng Mingshan and another junior martial sister with her, “After we enter the test, do not wait for us, retreat and get out of the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court, do you understand?”

Feng Yuzhen and Feng Mingqiu bowed and nodded.

Mo Yuanshu on the other hand, shouted, “Anyone wants to stay?”

The three disciples around him remained silent and Mo Yuanshu burst out laughing seeing this, “Good! Together, we might pass this test easily! Let’s go!”

Shen Qiushan then looked at this junior martial brothers and sisters and one of them smiled, “Don’t worry about us, if those demon brats are brave enough to enter, do you think we will not be as brave as them?”

Shen Qiushan nodded and smiled, “Then, follow my lead!”

Imperial Emperor Du Ya looked at his junior martial brother and they both walked into the shadows after giving each other a smile.

Just as Gao Yin was about to enter with his junior martial brothers and sisters, he turned around with a stuttering heart, There are two Deity Overlords behind us? They managed to pass the gate. They are quite impressive. Heh, a human? Probably a divine slave to the Deity Overlord beside him! Huh? The Hundun Clan?

Gao Yin had a shock, The Hundun Clan is a clan even our teacher is wary of. To think that they too, sent a disciple… The situation is even more complicated now! I thought the Hundun Clan never meddled in the affairs in this universe. Why is their disciple here? Did they realize that this universe is going to change drastically as well?

Gao Yin did not dare think about the implications of this and instead proceeded led his junior martial brothers and sisters into the shadows, disappearing into the darkness after walking a few steps in the shadows.

Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu arrived at the spot. And when they looked around, they were captivated by the beautiful scenery around them.

“Is the scenery here also a monarch weapon? Mister Yi, why don’t you try keeping this scenery away like you did the gate?” smiled Hundun Yu.

Zhong Yue looked around and tried his best to find anything out from the scenery, but he gave up after some time, “The scenery is not a monarch weapon, if it were, there is no way I wouldn’t be able to tell with my three eyes.”

His reply left Hundun Yu puzzled and he said, “Then what is the deal with this scenery here? Is it projected by the stone tablet? Can the stone tablets’ projection create a whole new world?”

“Xin Huo, take a look with Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils,” said Zhong Yue after something tickled his thought.

Xin Huo immediately took over his body and looked around with Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils and he was surprised when his vision caught onto something, “What this scenery is I do not know but there is a saint herb inside!”

“Saint herb?”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he shouted, “Saint herb? This is not a projection?”

“I am sure!”

Xin Huo confirmed without hesitation, “Saint herbs may be rare but the inheritors obtained quite many of them. This one over here may not be as powerful as the three great saint herbs but it is about the same! This saint herb is a huge mushroom that looked like a burnt pot!”

Zhong Yue looked towards the saint herb and just like Xin Huo said, this mushroom was just like a burnt pot but there was more than just a burnt pot.

Though there was only one mushroom, there were seven burnt pot-like mushroom caps!

“What is this saint herb?”

Zhong Yue had a shock, “This looks more like a poisonous mushroom than a saint herb!”

“Its name is called Nine Umbrellas Saint Mushroom, it looks like a burnt wok but it has some great use.”

Xin Huo explained, “The other name of this mushroom is Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom!”
