Rise Of Humanity Chapter 627 - Neither A Friend Nor A Stranger

Chapter 627 - Neither A Friend Nor A Stranger

The G.o.dly statue's tone turned solemn, “He is a half-f.u.xi!”

“f.u.xi?” Bi and An were shocked, they mumbled curiously, “Haven't the f.u.xi been completely annihilated?”

“No, there are still some remnants in the Zi Wei Galaxy. Furthermore, there is word of the appearance of a pureblood f.u.xi young lady. She is already a Deity Overlord and stirred many underlying conflicts between the strong and ancient factions. It was rumored that the hidden force of the f.u.xi Celestial Race are…”

The G.o.dly statue suddenly stopped, “It is still too far from you now. You will be qualified to know about it only after you have finished your cultivation of a hundred lives. The more you know, the more terror there will be. For now, treat your distant cousin well as how it should be, there is no need to trouble me here.”

An asked respectfully, “May I ask, father, how should we treat him?”

Bi said, “The f.u.xi has far too many enemies, if we get too close…”

The G.o.dly statue answered placidly, “Neither close nor distant, neither remote nor intimate, neither a friend nor a stranger.”

Bi and An were dumbfounded while the power in the G.o.dly statue slowly disappeared.

“Not too distant, not too close, not a friend, not a stranger.” Bi said, “Not too remote, because we are distant relatives, it is natural for us to keep in contact and treat him well; Not too intimate, because the f.u.xi has waned and if we get too close to them, we will be in trouble as well.”

An continued, “Not a friend, that is to tell the world that we are not too related to them; Not a stranger, is also to tell the world that no matter what, we are still related to them.”

The two of them nodded, “The older the ginger, the spicier it gets; with father's experience and guidance, we now know how we should get along with this distant cousin of ours.”

Meanwhile, around the golden flower buds.

The spiritual energy was abundant and the Dao was so strong in here; Zhong Yue and the others all found a place and started cultivating.

Jun Sixie chose a spot full with the water-style Dao, Qiu Jin'er chose a place with the wood-style Dao, s.h.i.+ Buyi found a place with the monster race's Dao, while Old Man Six Paths rooted himself at the center of the spiritual energy. He also took out the huge carrot Husan Weng and placed it on the side.

Bai Canghai moved around, but he couldn't find any place that was suitable for his Curse Spirit Body. After some time searching, he eventually settled down on a place that he felt most comfortable with.

These 196 flower buds are extraordinary, it seems like they are nurturing something in them. Zhong Yue was also looking for a place for himself while Xin Huo glanced around with through his divine eyes. However, the totem patterns around the golden flowers were emperor-leveled totem patterns, it was hard for Zhong Yue's current divine eye to see through them.

“Brat Yue, this Bi and An are from great heritage. Even the Prison Realm can't nurture figures like them. These golden flowers are the source to the strong spiritual energy and the Dao in here. I wonder what the golden flowers are…”

Xin Huo was looking around, he suddenly smiled and said, “Brat Yue, stop here. This is the place for the 99th Amaryllis, also the best spot for you to cultivate.”

Zhong Yue asked puzzlingly, “99th Amaryllis? There are only 98 of them here, where comes the 99th?”

“Not yet, but soon.” Rays flashed across Xin Huo's eyes as he conjectured, “These Amaryllis may seemed to be spewed all over randomly, but it is actually an array formation. You see that flower? That is the first Amaryllis, then following by the second Amaryllis right there.”

The array formation was nearly imperceptible, but when looked attentively enough, Zhong Yue realized that the flowers were actually providing energy to one another, the first Amaryllis was pumping energy into the second Amaryllis!

“Then the third!” Xin Huo continued.

Zhong Yue looked over, and surely enough, the third Amaryllis was supported by the second Amaryllis which was supported by the first Amaryllis.

Then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth…

All the way until the 98th Amaryllis which was collectively provided energy by the previous 97 Amaryllis.

Which means, there are 97 array formations here with 97 layers of energy each with greater power from the preceding Amaryllis.

“According to the pattern now, the 99th Amaryllis will be right here! This is the core of the next energy center! You will benefit more than the other places in here!” Xin Huo said.

Zhong Yue sat down and emulated the totem patterns of the array formation as he tried to link himself like the 99th Amaryllis to the array formations. Immediately as the link was established, a strong wave of energy overfilled his Yuan Shen secret realms, and inflated his body like a balloon!

Not only that, but an endless stream of complex insights on the Dao of cultivations also rushed into his mind.

What a pure energy!

Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed, he quickly absorbed the energy and strengthened his power; there was even the power of the Six Paths in this place!

The Dao in the Ancestral Star was impaired and many important insights were impossible to be attained. However in the Prison Realm, the Six Paths Reincarnations was complete and the Dao was flawless, allowing him to amend the flaws in his cultivation from the Ancestral Star!

The power of the Six Paths would bring even greater benefits.

There were faint chants that resounded in his Dao Yi Realm, that was the wors.h.i.+ps from the living beings to the Six Paths Reincarnations. All kinds of marvelous insights regarding the Six Paths rushed into his mind, turning into his own knowledge.

More importantly, the Six Paths Fruit was also coming into play. The Six Paths Fruit consisted of the power of the Six Paths that was absorbed during the destruction of the Six Paths Reincarnations, and fruited a hundred thousand years later.

There was a strict restriction in consuming the Six Paths Fruit as its effects could only be attained through gaining insights of the Six Paths; one might consume it and still be unable to have any significant insights during the duration of the fruit's effect.

The first time Zhong Yue was only able to attain the insights from the Six Paths Fruit was all thanks to the afterimage of Reincarnation Saint Monarch under the Mother Tree. However, that was only a once in a lifetime opportunity and couldn't be replicated in anyway.

Even though this wasn't truly an opportunity like the one before, it could still grant Zhong Yue with a great deal of benefits.

Zhong Yue sat in the lotus position while the 196 flower buds pumped their spiritual energy and their respective Daos into his body and mind.

Every totem patterns he ever learned emerged around him, some were grand and strong while others were weak and primitive. Yet, all of them were collapsing and breaking apart as he started attaining the Dao that rushed into his mind.

The totem patterns were the manifestation of various subjects, even the most primitive ones contained the Dao of the heaven and earth; while when one is visualizing the totem patterns, he is also indirectly manifesting the power of Dao.

Thus, as the Ancestral Star's Dao was impaired, the totem patterns the Ancestral Star Qi Pract.i.tioners could learn and visualize were also inherently impaired; leading to the reduction of power for everything that was based upon the totem patterns, such as the arts, skills, and array formations, the soul weapons and even the divine weapons.

This was why to those like Zhong Yue, who were initially from the first Six Paths World, would see a sudden leap in power if they were able to repair the flaws in their totem patterns!

The process, however, varied greatly accordingly to one's cultivation base, knowledge and their arts and skills. Among them all, Zhong Yue was the one that would require the longest duration to complete the process as his insights were much more replete than everyone else's. Thus, it would take a longer time for him to amend and reform the totem patterns.

Zhong Yue inhaled a deep breath of air, and the solid and broken lines swarmed out and reformed into countless unknown symbols around him as he started the complex simulations of the totem patterns.

Meanwhile, another head grew out from Zhong Yue's neck, the three divine eyes opened and helped alleviate part of the stress.

But as more of the lines and symbols emerge to run the calculations, the two heads were insufficient to support anymore and he grew out another head.

Half a day later, Zhong Yue still hadn't moved an inch from the ground, but there were already sixteen heads with long necks growing on his body. His heads were reading the symbols around him and running the calculations.

At the same time, the symbols even emerged in his Yuan Shen secret realms as he slowly strengthened them.

There were even more Yang and Yin lines in his Dao Yi Realm, their changes were much more vigorous and complex. After all, his main focus was still to attain the Innate True Soul with the help of the Six Paths Fruit and this perfect cultivation location.

Two days later, there were even more the Yang and Yin lines,more symbols, and also more heads. Billions of symbols flitted around his figure like fireflies — it was truly a stunning scene.

On the Bi An Precipice, Bi and An were looking from far in shock.

“This cousin of ours seemed to be very strong.” Bi said, “These symbols, even we don't have such a strong art.”

“I wonder how much can he reap out of this ten days?” An said curiously.

“Maybe not even ten days. They are at our birth and death place, there are far too many abstrusities for them to attain there. At this rate he is going now, he will eventually reach his limit before the ten days arrive.” Bi said, “Most probably, he will last for another three days at most.”

Chapter Notes:

Sup folks, 

It has been some time, hasn't it? I've been away for a very long tome, no more responding to your comments, expressing my grat.i.tudes and apologizing for the erros, or casually just talking to you guys. Truth is, I've been occupied for the past few months, mainly due to my family issues but that's not something I'd divulge to you guys. So I'm just here dropping by to let ya'll know I'm not ded yet or anything like that (although I think I was at one point close to breaking down. But wtv, like it or not, life goes on. I still have certain responsibilites on my shoulders that I can't just simply throw them behind.)

I've read through the comments all the way until I caught up to where I last read them. Found some erros and I've corrected them, but unfortunately, I couldn't have corrected all of them as some are the plot holes that I have no control over (sorry for that, but nothing I can do to help correct it T.T). I'm also glad to see that most of the commenters are having fun and enjoying the story so far, I'm really happy ya'll liked it, and hopefully I will still be able to have all of your supports till the end of this novel. Andddd, I'm very, very grateful for those who've supported me (you know who you guys are) and helped explaining things to those who couldn't have fully understood the story perhaps due to my poor language, weak grammar, and lack of vocabs (I'm sorry, but English is one of the three languages I learn, and I acknowledge wholeheartedly that I am often weak at it, undeniably.)

That's all I have to say I guess. I love ya'll and I'll see RoH to completion, as that's the best repayment I can ever give back to you lovely readers.

On a side note: I've left this in the chapter section cause I figured out no one (or only a few) actually looks at the posts anymore.
