Rise Of Humanity Chapter 447 - The Six Gentlemen Of Returning Ruins

Chapter 447 - The Six Gentlemen of Returning Ruins

“Other than Cusia, I still have a few good brothers.”

Husan Weng was talking non-stop, “Stonecrop, Black Nightshade, Bupleurum and Angelica, they all stayed not far away from here. We six are all the strong and heroic figures in Returning Ruins, the others know us as the Six Gentlemen of the Returning Ruins, everyone knows about us! Cusia remedies all sickness, Stonecrop revives the dead, Black Nightshade resolves all the poison, and Angelica increases one's blood essence. Just go around and ask, everyone will tell you how great we are…”

Zhong Yue followed behind the huge carrot while taking out Yan Zhen's secret realms which he had condensed into five light bracelets.

Surging his psyche into the secret realms and checking them one by one, Zhong Yue could tell just how strong Yan Zhen's five secret realms were. Totem patterns continuously flowed at the end of the secret realms, reinforcing the dimensional stability so that they were more resistant to collapse.

In comparison to Zhong Yue's secret realms, Yan Zhen's secret realms were smaller and weaker. But Yan Zhen had higher durability and superior stability compared to Zhong Yue.

No wonder he was so strong, to be able to fight me head-on. It's all because of his secret realms, that's why he could condense and shrink his Avatar to only 16 feet tall! In comparison, my Yuan Shen secret realms are indeed lacking.

Zhong Yue inspected them carefully and thought, Strengthening the Yuan Shen secret realms is also a way to improve. This demon expert deserves my respect. Although I was the victor, in the end, there are still things I should still learn from him.

Strengthening the secret realms with the totem patterns and Yan Zhen's method of using the heaven and earth's force to cast the Avatar were some things he would have to learn as well.

Although Zhong Yue won in the end, Zhong Yue never held his opponent in contempt at all, giving him the respect that an opponent like him deserved.

However, no matter how hard Zhong Yue searched through the Yuan Shen secret realms, he couldn't find a single clue about using the force of heaven and earth at all.

Can the way to achieve that only found through searching through the souls of others and extract the knowledge out forcibly?

Zhong Yue frowned, if only he had known how to use the force of heaven and earth, he wouldn't be so severely injured even if he had met with the young G.o.ds like Yan Zhen!

However, although he knew of the technique's existence, he couldn't acquire it.

Force of the heaven and earth, what is it linked to?

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he continued searching through Yan Zhen's Yuan Shen secret realms. Suddenly, he let out a surprised gasp as he took out a divine weapon from the Yuan Shen secret realms. It was a G.o.dly drum whose drumhead was made from the skin of a Kui Long G.o.d!

Zhong Yue also had a piece of Kui Long skin. Thus, he was able to notice and recognized the same material in Yan Zhen's secret realms. However, what Zhong Yue had was only from an Imminent Deity Kui Long expert, while this G.o.dly drum was made from a Kui Long G.o.d's skin!

This is the celestial race's treasure, did any celestial experts die by Yan Zhen's hands? How strong, being able to kill even a Kui Long expert with a divine weapon. No wonder he had the appellation of a young G.o.d!

Zhong Yue praised in his heart. The totem patterns on the Kui Long's skin was not a stranger to him. After all, they were all the Immortal Body totem patterns. This drum was most probably crafted by a Kui Long G.o.d, pa.s.sed over to his disciples so that they could help him search for the Peaches of Immortality. Yet, who knew it would end up in Zhong Yue's hands.

I can use this drum, but the drum's master is a living Kui Long G.o.d. If I left the Returning Ruins, he would be able to recall the drum with just a thought. Moreover, he could power the drum and kill me without any ha.s.sle!

Zhong Yue frowned as he thought, How can I wipe away the Kui Long G.o.d's marks…

Zhong Yue's current strength and cultivation allowed him to be able to even wipe away the marks of the Imminent Deity magnates. But this was a G.o.d's mark; there was nothing he could do about it.

Throwing it into Xin Huo's lamp can wipe off the G.o.d's mark, but the divine drum will be destroyed as well. There is just no point in doing so….

Zhong Yue surged out both his arcane energy and psyche, refining the Kui Long divine drum while, on the other hand, strengthening his Yuan Shen secret realms. Using the totem patterns of the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】and infusing them into his Yuan Shen secret realms, he augmented their durability and stability.

The stronger the secret realms, the more energy they could contain. And he had six secret realms. If he could raise them to the same level as Yan Zhen's secret realms. The benefits and advantages he would acquire would be far greater than what Yan Zhen was ever able to get!

Furthermore, his Yuan Shen secret realms were wider compared to Yan Zhen's. Surely, his strength would improve to beyond what most would expect!

Even one Yan Zhen alone was enough to show me how much I have to improve by. I can only imagine what I will learn from battling the other young G.o.ds! Zhong Yue became filled with a fervid desire to fight.

After some time, Husan Weng led him to the front of a mountain, he slowed down and led him up the mountain. They walked into a dark cave, and after a few moments of walking, a wide and vast s.p.a.ce appeared before them. It was a small valley that was, at most, only a few miles long, but it was incredibly beautiful.

The valley was filled with the fragrance of the divine herbs, and a small waterfall was cascading down from the top. The whole place looked just like a paradise.

Zhong Yue was invigorated upon seeing a few G.o.dly rays hovering in the sky. There were a few different looking divine herbs sitting on a small altar.

The divine herbs then spotted Husan Weng and Zhong Yue, and they all sprung up from the altar and shouted, “Husan Weng, who is he?”

Husan Weng laughed out loud and leaped out, blocking the only path to the outside world as it said, “A high-quality fertilizer!”

“Fertilizer?” The divine herbs exclaimed curiously in unison.

Zhong Yue looked at the divine herbs. Among the five divine herbs in the air, Cusia looked like a granddaddy with a spa.r.s.e amount of green leaves on its top; the Stonecrop was a small chubby child with a yellow flower of eight petals blooming on the top; Black Nightshade was a little girl with a little few purplish fruits on top of its head.

Angelica was a little yellow man with a round flower on its top and many little flowers forming its hairs; and lastly, the Bupleurum was a tall and slender, jade-like divine herb with thick and muscular legs.

The five divine weapons had the G.o.dly totem patterns surrounding them. These were the natural totem patterns that no other race other than the ancient and long-lived divine herbs could acquire.

The huge carrot Husan Weng then shouted, “He is not that strong, just a little bit stronger than me. Let's strike at him together and kill him. We can divide his body parts among ourselves after!”

The other five divine herbs' interests were piqued, they looked at Zhong Yue and said together, “This young man is really burly, he must have a lot of nutrients!”

Zhong Yue smiled and replied, “Brothers, what's there nice here in Returning Ruins. Why don't all of you follow me and I can bring you all to the outside world to explore the true beauty and greatness of the real world. What do you think?”

“I want his head!” The granddaddy looking Cusia said.

“Alright, his head is yours!” Stonecrop laughed and agreed.

“It isn't that nice to kill you, no?” Nightshade hesitated for a split second, and it then said happily, “Why don't we let him live and just grow on his living body?”

The divine weapons were happily negotiating the harvest before they even started the battle. They ignored Zhong Yue on the side while Husang Weng suddenly asked, “Why are you all in Cusia's home?”

The divine weapons exchanged looks, and they sighed. One of them said, “There are many weirdos swarming in the Returning Ruins these few days. They have come after us like predators chasing a pack of prey. We had no other choice but to hide in Cusia's home.”

Bupleurum then stared at Zhong Yue and said, “At least now, we can vent our anger on him!”

The six divine herbs surrounded Zhong Yue in the middle and glared at him in anger. Stonecrop gave a nasty laugh and said, “Don't even try to resist. The more you try, the happier we will be. Hehehe…”

Husan Weng then lunged forward and struck a punch at Zhong Yue as it shouted, “Take him down!”

The other five divine herbs then followed, launching their attacks at Zhong Yue in a nonstop flurry. Immediately, the cacophony of battle resounded through the valley. The six divine herbs were all talented; Husan Weng's possessed unique strength, Cusia's had agility, Bupleurum's attacks were powerful; Angelica's attacks from the ground were sneaky and unpredictable; Nightshade's poison gas was noxiously potent; and while Stonecrop was the weakest among them, it still did its part by bullishly hugging Zhong Yue's leg to restrict his movements.

Moments later, Husan Weng laid on the ground, struggling to get up while beside him, foam was bubbling out of Stonecrop's mouth. Cusia's head was stuck in the soil, and its legs were helplessly flailing in the air.

Not far away from them, Bupleurum lay exhausted on the floor while the battered Nightshade was crying by the side. Whereas for the little yellow divine herb Angelica, it tried to escape underground, but as Zhong Yue stomped his feet down, the soil turned impermeable like metal.

Zhong Yue felt a s.a.d.i.s.tic satisfaction from the one-sided trouncing. He raised his hand and picked a flower from Angelica's head and immediately, the little yellow divine herb opened its mouth wide and cried out loud.

While hearing Angelica crying, Nightshade, who was on the side, cried even harder.

“Husan Weng, didn't you say he wasn't very strong, just a little stronger than you?”, Bupleurum shouted in anger, “You are so unreliable! How is this just a little stronger than you!? He just single-handedly finished all six of us!”

Cusia was also in incensed as it chided, “Husan Weng, you are now a traitor to the Six Gentlemen of Returning Ruins!”

Stonecrop waved its chubby fists and said coldly, “You are no longer one of us!”

Husan Weng felt wronged, but it couldn't talk back at all. Its leaves limply hung low as its mood plummeted.

Zhong Yue consumed the little yellow flower he plucked down. Immediately, he could feel his blood essence churning, and his Bloodline Wheel faintly appeared of its own accord. He could tell that his f.u.xi blood had gotten purer in just these few moments!

The Angelica can increase the purity of f.u.xi blood?

Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. Although the yellow flower provided only a small amount of help, it was still helping at the least. Ever since he broke through the seals of the Bloodline Wheel, his f.u.xi bloodline stagnated. Yet, who knew he could find a divine weapon that could help him with this!

He was overjoyed, and he glanced from one divine herb to another and back to the first one again unceasingly. The more he looked at them, the more lovely he found them.

The six divine herbs skin crawled at his weird smile. Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and said, “Brothers, I have prepared a home for you all in my secret realms. You all will have to leave the Returning Realms with me. This is too dangerous a place to stay, the outside world is the best environment for the six of you.”

Knowing they couldn't win against him at all, none of them resisted as he planted them in his Yuan Shen secret realms one by one.

Suddenly, a loud kicking sound came from the Yuan Shen secret realms, and Husan Weng was seen flying out. Cusia's voice could then be heard shouting, “Traitor, don't you dare come close to us!”

Husan Weng nearly cried, but Zhong Yue was still all smiles as he said, “It's fine even if you are not with them. Husan Weng, you know more than them and have a broader wealth of knowledge. Have you ever seen any Immortality Peaches Tree?”

Husan Weng was just about to answer and the divine herbs poked their heads out of the secret realm and scorned in unison, “Traitor——”
