Rise Of Humanity Chapter 525 - Imperial Road Of The Heavenly Monarch

Chapter 525 - Imperial Road of The Heavenly Monarch

Zhong Yue hesitated, he calculated the orbital route and velocity of the Celestial Gold Star in his heart and said, “That is possible. I can change the course of the star we are on now and made it slide through the sides of the moon. With the gravitational field of the moon, it will head toward the Celestial Gold Star. However, Senior Martial Brother Fang, when you arrive at the Celestial Gold Star, there might not be any sufficient breathing air there.”

Fang Jiange smiled in reply, “Maybe there's air on the Celestial Gold Star as well? Furthermore, I'm proficient in the art of breathing, I can last for ten to twenty years without air, I won't die so soon yet.”

Zhong Yue thought of Fang Jiange's mount — the mystical turtle called Fu Shan. Fang Jiange must have learned his breathing arts from the turtle Fu Shan.

Junior Martial Sister Qiu can self-sustain the breathing air needed in the universe and Senior Martial Brother Fang also his own ways to survive as well. The innate spirit bodies are strong indeed.

Zhong Yue praised in his heart, he adjusted the star's course and crafted a totem pillar for Fang Jiange. He said, “Whenever Senior Martial Brother Fang feels like coming back, tell me and I will come to bring you home.”

He leaped down from the star and waved his hand, he said, “Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi, when the star arrives close enough to the moon, the gravitational force of the moon will slow down the star's speed before it lunges out toward the Celestial G.o.d Star again. This leaves a small window for you all to fly to the moon, do not miss the chance or you will to wait another 76 years before it can open again!”

“Seventy six years?" Gu Hongzi, Zuo Xiangsheng and the other experts tensed their hearts. The star flew out at a great speed and left behind a streaming tail behind it. Although the Flowery Corpse G.o.d Chrysalis was no longer pus.h.i.+ng the star, the star been influenced by the gravitational field of the Celestial Wood Star and Celestial Fire Star, it could still fly toward the moon, to the Celestial Gold Star and Celestial Water Star.

After a few days, the star reached to the moon. Gu Hongzi immediately led Zuo Xiangsheng and the other experts to fly toward the moon while Fang Jiange stood on the star steadfast as it continuing to fly toward the Celestial Gold Star.

After some time, the star arrived at the Celestial Gold Star and Fang Jiange leaped down from the star when it slid past the side of the Celestial Gold Star. The star then continued flying toward the Celestial Water Star.

Some days later, the star flew past the Celestial Water Star and was caught by the gravitational force of the sun. It flew to the back of the sun and was later swung out into the endless s.p.a.ce again.

This star would wander in the solar system, flying past the stars and planets and drifting through the darkness. Seventy-six years later, it would return to the Ancestral Star.

Zhong Yue continued making adjustments to its course so that it would continue to repeat this circuit around the solar system far into the future.

A few thousand years later, a half-demon who went by the name of Halley noticed the repet.i.tive occurrence of the star's appearances every 76 years. He named the star after himself and henceforth, the humans on the Ancestral Star since recognized its existence.

Now, on the Celestial Fire Star, s.h.i.+ Tuo raised his hand out into s.p.a.ce and Zhong Yue landed on his palm.

s.h.i.+ Tuo gritted his teeth, trying his best not to crush the tiny human in his hand. He abruptly pulled his hand back and brought Zhong Yue into the Celestial Fire Star before the Pure Yang lightnings struck on the abominable human.

The speed of his hand was so quick that his skin was ignited in flames by the immense friction force. Before the Pure Yang lightning zone was ready and the lightning caught up to his speed, his hand already reached the ground.

With a thought, the demonic fire around his hand distinguished and s.h.i.+ Tuo opened up his palm. Zhong Yue was seen standing steadfast on the palm, his heart beating at its normal rate, his face showed no signs of fear or terror. He appeared as a dauntless young man unmoved by all.

“Brat, I don't like you but you do have some courage in you." s.h.i.+ Tuo, an honorable demon G.o.d himself, wouldn't deny his emotions and as he placed Zhong Yue down to the solid ground.

Zhong Yue walked down the huge palm and abruptly, his heart throbbed for a split second.

It would be a lie for him to say that he wasn't afraid at all. Being held in s.h.i.+ Tuo's hand, standing in a position where his life was solely dependent on the demon G.o.d's emotion. If s.h.i.+ Tuo decided to fight against Feng Xiaozhong's will, he wouldn't even need to crush Zhong Yue on his own; just slowing his speed down for a few seconds in the Pure Yang lightning zone would result in the Pure Yang lightning ending Zhong Yue's life many times over.

However, even when he was standing in front of death's doorstep, he didn't want to show his fear in front of s.h.i.+ Tuo. Even though he was afraid, he would still act like he wasn't so that s.h.i.+ Tuo wouldn't know.

However, Feng Xiaozhong did picked up the sudden throbbing in Zhong Yue's heartbeat, he laughed and said, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you said that the Celestial Fire Star had a teleportation portal that can bring me to the Zi Wei Divine Star, so here I am.”

“Xing Tian greets Uncle Zhong." A cute child walked out behind Feng Xiaozhong and greeted Zhong Yue.

“Please, spare the formality." Zhong Yue looked at the cute child. The Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo grew taller than before, but it seemed like he still hasn't awoken the memory of the innate demon G.o.d yet.

He was the manifestation of Creator Bo Xun's shattered spirit. A great talent in nature, he was now already an Inner Core Qi Pract.i.tioner. The name Xing Tian was even given to him by Zhong Yue, which translated to a punished innate demon G.o.d.

Xing Tian followed Feng Xiaozhong from day one and the human G.o.d treated him very well. This was also part of the reason why the little child could cultivate at such a great speed.

Zhong Yue frowned, he asked, “Senior Martial Brother Feng, you are a G.o.d now and are ready to leave the Ancestral Star? Have you finished researching on s.h.i.+ Tuo?”

s.h.i.+ Tuo mood seemed to take an angry turn as he shot a nefarious glare at Zhong Yue and questioned, “Brat, what do you mean finished researching me? He only barely dissected me a few times! Do you think I can be finished studying so easily? Without tens or even hundreds of years, it is impossible to finish exploring my secrets!”

Zhong Yue laughed in spite of himself, he praised in his heart and admired Feng Xiaozhong even more.

Feng Xiaozhong made use of Bi Xie Celestial Emperor and gravely injured s.h.i.+ Tuo, he then went head on against the wounded demon G.o.d and even succeed in taming s.h.i.+ Tuo. Such means were far beyond the level of any other Qi Pract.i.tioners, Feng Xiaozhong's capabilities were really incredible.

Feng Xiaozhong was placid, he said nonchalantly, “s.h.i.+ Tuo has many secrets on him indeed, I learned a great deal while researching him. Which is also why I can cultivate my Yuan Shen to the Pure Yang state so quickly and easily. However, there is nothing in the Ancestral Star that can rile up my interest anymore. Thus, I come for the teleportation portal you speak of in this Celestial Fire Star, one that will teleport me to the Zi Wei Divine Court.”

Zhong Yue's heart tensed up, the teleportation array formation on the Celestia Fire Star was just nonsense he spoke to temporarily control Feng Xiaozhong's madness in the days before. Zhong Yue was afraid that Feng Xiaozhong would lose control of his sanity and that's why Zhong Yue told him there was a teleportation portal that could send him out to explore the endless universe.

Although Xin Huo did tell Zhong Yue there was a teleportation array formation on the Celestial Fire Star, it was just a piece of information that came from the ancient days. No one, including Xin Huo, knew if the teleportation array formation on the Celestial Fire Star was still here or not.

If the teleportation formation really didn't exist anymore, then Zhong Yue could bet on his life that Feng Xiaozhong would surely turn mad, and by then, not even the G.o.ds could foresee what Feng Xiaozhong would do!

But there was one thing that Zhong Yue knew for sure —— Feng Xiaozhong would surely capture him for research!

“Cough, Senior Martial Brother Feng, did you find the teleportation portal?" Zhong Yue said, his voice was somehow lacked confidence.

He only asked Fang Jiange, Gu Hongzi and the others to leave first because he knew that Feng Xiaozhong was here for the teleportation portal.

Since Feng Xiaozhong b.u.mped into Zhong Yue, there was no doubt he wouldn't let Zhong Yue leave without finding the teleportation array formation. It'll be fine if they actually found it, but if they couldn't, then even Fang Jiange, Gu Hongzi and the others would be in deep trouble.

“I've just arrived as well and b.u.mped into you before I start searching around." Feng Xiaozhong shook his head, his eyes were clear like crystals as he said, “Since Junior Martial Brother Zhong knows of this teleportation portal, you must know where it is too, right?”

Zhong Yue cleared his throat continuously while s.h.i.+ Tuo stared intently at him. Suddenly, s.h.i.+ Tuo sneered coldly and said, “What does he know?! Even I didn't know there was a teleportation array formation here in the Celestial Fire Star, how could he possibly know? This brat is just speaks nonsense all day long, it's clear that he is just bulls.h.i.+tting you. In my opinion, it's better if you just dissect him, just like how you dissected me, one cut after another…”

Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, letting out a angry laugh as he said, “What a pity I didn't get to see how Senior Martial Brother Feng dissected you 'one cut after another'. Senior martial brother, why don't you show me how you did it?”

s.h.i.+ Tuo shouted back in anger, “Brat, I'll dissect you into pieces now!”

Feng Xiaozhong said softly, “Please, calm down, the two of you. If Junior Martial Brother Zhong is really fooling around with me, I will naturally dissect him even without you telling me.”

s.h.i.+ Tuo calmed down and smirked, he glanced at Zhong Yue disdainfully and said, “I've been here before when I was still alive, my psyche scanned through every single part of this Celestial Fire Star and there wasn't even the tiniest trace of a teleportation array formation. Now I'm here again, I've re-scanned the whole place and the result is still the same. Brat, you are destined to be dissected!”

Zhong Yue lamented in his heart but remained calm on the outside, he laughed while he replied, “Don't take as though everyone is as useless as you, just because you can't find it doesn't mean it isn't here.”

Feng Xiaozhong's eyes brightened up and he said, “May junior martial brother enlighten me then.”

Zhong Yue furtively asked the little flame in his psyche ocean, “Xin Huo, where is the teleportation array formation in the Celestial Fire Star?”

“Just right below you all." Xin Huo answered.

“Right below us?" Zhong Yue startled, he looked down and saw them standing on a reddish desert. He gushed his psyche out deep into the Celestial Fire Star but still couldn't find anything.

s.h.i.+ Tuo watched as Zhong Yue scanned around the environment, he smirked frigidly and said, “Hmm, I think you'd taste good when roasted, after you are dissected into pieces!”

Cold sweat was on the verge of bursting out of Zhong Yue's forehead and even Feng Xiaozhong was staring at him curiously.

“Xin Huo, there isn't any teleportation array formation beneath us!”

Xin Huo was puzzled as he heard Zhong Yue's question, he answered, “No, it is here, it can't possibly disappear. This array formation was built back in the days of the Sui Sovereign era. It is a grand path known as the Imperial Road of the Heavenly Monarch. The endpoint of this Heavenly Monarch Imperial Road is the Celestial Fire Star, the whole star is made into the teleportation array formation…”

“The whole star … made as an array formation…?" Zhong Yue was bewildered, his regained his thoughts a few moments later and he exclaimed, “You mean, the whole Celestial Fire Star is an array formation? The Celestial Fire Star, is the teleportation array formation?”

“Of course!" Xin Huo said, “It's the planet itself; but when activated, it will then be a teleportation array formation. Back in the ancient days, the Heavenly Monarch Sui Sovereigns would often come back to the Ancestral Star, without a strong teleportation portal, how can it withstand the Heavenly Monarch's carriage, concubines, guards and servants?”

Zhong Yue was shocked, he looked to the far end of the horizon of the Celestial Fire Star, and his heart thumped even harder than before.

A whole planet that was made into a teleportation array formation just to serve the Heavenly Monarchs!

“Brat, if you don't tell us where the teleportation portal is at, I guess the only way out for you is to be dissected!" s.h.i.+ Tuo grinned and gloated happily.

Zhong Yue, however, was placid, he replied, “Relax, if I said I will find it, then I will.”

“Hei hei, let's see then, what will you do when you can't find it!" s.h.i.+ Tuo laughed loudly as he said.
