Rise of Humanity

Chapter 518 - Si Ming’s Departure

Xin Huo was stunned, he opened his fingers and counted, and indeed, it was a total of three different things. He was immediately embarrassed as he shouted, “Don’t mind the details! What’s there to be proud of?”

Si Ming stared deeply at the little flame as she asked, “So, you rather choose him, a 20 percent awakened Fuxi instead of me, a pureblood Fuxi?”

The expression on Xin Huo’s face clearly showed a lack of interest, he shook his head and answered, “There isn’t any human warmth in you, why would I to choose you?”

“Human warmth? What kind of reason this is?" Si Ming was puzzled, she asked, “All of my conditions are better than his, it is easier to teach me than him, I can learn and adapt to your teachings more easily, I have a greater chance in recovering the glory of the Fuxi Sovereign Race. If you considered more thoroughly, you should know that I am your best candidate.”

“Little girl," Xin Huo straightened his body and raised his head up in pride, he said, “I come from the Fire Order Era, I have lived through two eras, witnessed the rise and fall of many races and watched as the mightiest heroes turned into dust. But one thing I have never seen die is time. All the talents, all their techniques, bodies, and spirits eventually succumbed to time itself. Only I have managed to outrun it.

“You see, I was when the figures of legend were alive. Some of them were even taught by me. I have seen many talents, more than you can ever imagine; celestials or demons, monsters or any others. So trust when I say that your advantages don’t impress me much. The inheritors I choose to take in, other than talent and intelligence, should also possess a virtuous heart — the human warmth that I was referring to. And that is something I don’t see in you.”

Disappointed, Si Ming shook her head and replied, “Human warmth…? It’s just an unnecessary burden in my quest. To recover the glory of the Fuxi Sovereign Celestial Race, to make the Fuxi rise again, human warmth isn’t going to work. Since the Great Preceptor insists on staying with him, then I shall see what he is capable of in the future. Xin Huo, you will regret your decision today.”

All this while, Zhong Yue had thought that she truly didn’t have any emotions. Yet, hearing Xin Huo’s words now, it was clear that even the seemingly emotionless Si Ming was also discomforted by the little flame.

Her advantages over Zhong Yue were as clear as day, and yet, Xin Huo chose Zhong Yue. This piqued her will to contend against Zhong Yue, and she want to prove that she was better and stronger than Zhong Yue, to prove that Xin Huo’s decision was a mistake.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was touched. Xin Huo’s words warmed his cold heart.

Xin Huo shrugged and flew back into Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean while saying, “Anything you say, I won’t choose you anyhow.”

Si Ming sneered coldly, in just a second’s time, she regained her usual composure and said placidly, “Imperial bell, let’s go.”

“Just a second." The little fatty smiled and replied, “My body is coming.”

As soon as he finished his words, a rift cracked across the galactic space. A bell like size of the insect planet slowly moved out from the rift. Its appearance shuddered the space around and tossed all of the living beings on the insect planet into utter terror. The imperial aura was so immense it compelled all of the living beings to bow to the bell in worship.

The little fatty spoke, and the bell shuddered in resonant, “We can go now!”

Si Ming leaped into the sky, she flew toward the imperial bell and in just a few moments, she alighted down on the top of the bell. The Fuxi lady was small like a tiny dust standing on top of the bell.

Zhong Yue shouted loudly, “Si Ming, bring your insect planet away! Are you still trying to let the insect planet destroy the Ancestral Star?”

“It is not mine to claim, the insect planet is just a vessel I boarded on my quest." The lady stood there frigidly, she shook her head and said in a placid tone, “Even without me, the insect race will sooner or later find your Ancestral Star. Didn’t you just say that the Ancestral Star is yours? Didn’t you just tell me that you will guard over the Ancestral Star? If the Great Preceptor chose you, then you must be able to protect your Ancestral Star.”

The bell rang and the space rift enlarged wider as the imperial bell disappeared into the darkness.

Zhong Yue smiled, he mumbled, “And so I just thought that she is emotionless like a cold star. But it seems like even she can get salty. Don’t you worry, the Ancestral Star is mine, and nothing shall ever harm it! However, the Shao Hao Bell was brought away by Si Ming, meaning I can’t borrow its power anymore. This is going to make my future battles somewhat more difficult.”

“Xin Huo," Zhong Yue look into his psyche ocean and saw the little flame, “You didn’t chose her but me instead, I…”

Xin Huo suddenly lunged over and hugged on his leg while crying out loud. Zhong Yue was shocked and completely clueless.

“I just let a pureblood Fuxi slipped away from my grasp, she might just be the last pureblood Fuxi in this world left!" The little flame was crying so hard, he sobbed and said, “And I even forgot to make her stay to make some pureblood Fuxi babies with you! I made such a huge mistake! I should’ve asked her to make a mountain of babies before she left… Zhong Yue, you pay me back my pureblood Fuxi inheritors!”

Suddenly, the little flame stopped crying and glared a pair of bright eyes at Zhong Yue, he shouted, “I let go a pureblood Fuxi because of you, you better to repay me with another one!”

“I will, I will, I will make sure I pay you back a pureblood Fuxi," Zhong Yue nodded unceasingly, he answered while smiling, “From today onwards, I will listen to Master Xin Huo and make more babies, I will try my best to make a house of the pureblood Fuxi!”

“That’s the spirit!" Xin Huo stood up straight, he waved his hand and said, “Your children must be stronger and better than this Si Ming, she mustn’t be able to continue acting arrogant and proud, not in front of me!”

Zhong Yue thought about it and he felt something weird in it, he quickly asked, “Xin Huo, didn’t you chose me as your inheritor? Why are you looking into my children now?”

Xin Huo gave him a pair of puzzled eyes as the little flame replied, “Since when did I chose you?”

“You just said that Si Ming didn’t have the human warmth you require and that you chose me instead of you…”

“You think too much, young man of the Fuxi Clan," Xin Huo raised his little finger and poked it into his nostril as he said, “We just met with a pureblood Fuxi today, which means that we might meet with another one in the future. On the Zi Wei Imperial Star, there might just really be a Fuxi, even if there isn’t, you are still a third priority. The second is still a pureblood Fuxi among your children…”

Zhong Yue was stunned, then he shouted in anger, “I am still third?”

Xin Huo nodded while comforting him, “Yeah, it’s a very good position to be in already. Look, that Fuxi lady isn’t even third. You should be proud of yourself! Oh, back to the real matter, when are you going to a house of babies?”

“Never!”

“Come on, you promised! You said you are going to work hard and make a house of them!”

……

Zhong Yue inspected his mortal body and Yuan Shen and didn’t find any traces of injuries. Moreover, he could tell that his cultivation base even further increased. Zhong Yue couldn’t help but admire Si Ming’s prowess.

She looks young, it shouldn’t be too long a time since she started cultivating. Just how did she cultivate to such a stage within such a short time?

It was Si Ming’s divine third eye that recovered all of his injuries, saved him from death — it was truly amazing.

……

I need to work hard as well, for one day, I will catch up to her and prove to her I am no inferior to her! No, not only will I catch up to her, but I will surpass her and surpass all of the other Xin Huo inheritors as well. I will prove myself to Xin Huo as well!

Zhong Yue said to himself. He raised his hand and returned Husan Weng to his Yuan Shen secret realms. Husan Weng played a huge role in saving his life and was gravely wounded as well. Even so, Husan Weng never left his side and even fought with him until the end.

Husan Weng was truly loyal to his friends.

Zhong Yue glanced around and reclaimed the Divine Wing Saber, he placed it back into the copper lamp. Then, he moved toward the monster god Yu Wenju’s corpse, removing the three divine weapons and kept them in his Yuan Shen secret realms.

Zhong Yue thought, My willow leaf jade sword is in Princess Jin Xiu’s hands after she killed Bo Xun and if Yu Wenju ate Princess Jin Xiu, where would the demon sword be now?

He focused his senses and soon opened the monster god’s mouth before walking into Yu Wenju’s body.

Yu Wenju’s corpse was incredibly huge. After he was killed by Si Ming, he turned back into his true form, a godly serpent over a hundred miles long.

Zhong Yue walked for nearly a hundred miles through Yu Wenju’s body. There were mountains and rivers, green grasses and clear waters all over the place, it looked like a paradise in here.

Suddenly, he raised his head up and saw five light wheels revolving in mid-air above him. Yu Wenju’s Yuan Shen secret realms were well hidden in the mortal body, the entrance was these five light wheels. Without the willow leaf jade sword, it would be incredibly hard to locate these five secret realms.

Zhong Yue flew up and entered one of the five secret realms. It was because he could sense his willow leaf jade sword in this Yuan Shen secret realm, that’s how he could find the Yuan Shen secret realms.

When he entered the secret realms, Zhong Yue’s heart shuddered. There were godly lights flowing all around the place, tens of divine weapons were hidden in this Yuan Shen secret realms. Among them, there was a jade sword shaped like the willow leaf — it was Bo Xun’s demon divine weapon,

The other divine weapons were mostly the insect divine weapons of the insect experts that died by Zhong Yue’s hands!

Zhong Yue killed them in a bloody battle, he didn’t have the time and energy to retrieve the divine weapons. Yet, who knew these divine weapons would appear inside Yu Wenju’s Yuan Shen secret realm.

These insect divine weapons were mostly probably retrieved by Princess Jin Xiu before she was eaten by Yu Wenju. He claimed these treasures and kept them in his Yuan Shen secret realms.

Zhong Yue looked around and found many other treasures piling up on the sides. There were the divine golds and godly materials piling up like mountains, these would be the lifetime treasures collected by Yu Wenju.

Furthermore, there were tens of thousands of insect corpses on the other end, all forged from divine gold. It seemed like Yu Wenju also collecte divine gold and expanding his vault while he was escaping in the underground.

Zhong Yue flew into the other Yuan Shen secret realm and saw mountains of medicinal pellets. The fragrance of these medicinal pellets suffused the air, most of these medicinal pellets were concocted by divine herbs.

He walked into another secret realm again and found the five elemental Qi refined to their finest in it. The metal Qi turned into mountain, the wood Qi formed trees, the earth Qi condensed into the earth, the fire Qi rose into the sky as the sun, and the water Qi flowed like an ocean.

Yu Wenju’s secret realms were like a divine vault, no, five divine vaults!

Zhong Yue praised. These five divine vaults were too great a treasure. If he could bring only the divine weapons back to Swords Gate, he could equip every elder with a divine weapon!

But how do I erase the insect gods’ spirit marks on the insect divine weapons? If their marks aren’t removed, then they will always be able to sense it and control it even from afar…
