Rise of Humanity

The ice pathway was a trap, the insect gods were already there waiting for them. Heading for the ice pathway was no different than dying.     

But if they couldn't escape from there, then they could only fly out of the insect planet.     

However, to fly out of the insect planet, they would have to face directly with the Pure Yang lightning zone in the atmosphere. But without cultivating the Yuan Shen into a Pure Yang state, none of them could ever survive through the lightning zone.      

When Zhong Yue was breaking through the Heavenly Dharma level, his Yuan Shen has flew into the Pure Yang lightning zone and played the lightnings before. However, that doesn't mean he could survive through the Pure Yang lightning zone, his mortal body surely wouldn't be able to endure the lightning strikes.     

If the only two ways to leave wouldn't work, they could only remain in the insect planet.     

Even if they could hide from the insect experts now, could they ever hide forever?     

The insect race's main focus now was the Ancestral Star gods, while after the gods were all killed, the insect gods would come searching for them already. Even if they were hiding in the insect magnates' Yuan Shen secret realms, the mother insect gods would be able to sense them still.     

Zhong Yue calmed himself, he communicated with Qiu Jin'er and agreed on a meeting spot, he said, "Brother Canghai, do you want to come along with me?"     

Bai Canghai nodded.     

The two of them then walked for over ten days to exit the godly battlefield. Zhong Yue released a few insect magnates and entered into one of the insect magnates' Yuan Shen secret realms with Bai Canghai on his side.     

Another seven days passed, Zhong Yue and Bai Canghai have reached to the meeting point. There, over thirty insect Qi Practitioners were waiting on the spot. In the insect magnate's Yuan Shen secret realms, Zhong Yue surged his psyche out and touched with the incoming psyche from the other insect magnates. As the two psyches have gotten in touch with one another, they knew exactly who the other party was.     

Zhong Yue and Bai Canghai flew out from the Yuan Shen secret realms while Fang Jiange, Qiu Jin'er and the others also appeared beside the insect Qi Practitioners.     

Fang Jiange's eyes were shining in bright rays as he stared intently at the two of them, Gu Hongzi has also sent out the insect Qi Practitioners to smell on Zhong Yue and Bai Canghai.     

Zhong Yue has also opened his divine third eye, inspecting in every single one of them so to ensure none of them were infected by the insect experts.     

"They are clean.", Gu Hongzi looked at Fang Jiange and nodded.     

The experts then let their guards down. Tian Mo Concubine asked curiously, "Darling, where is the other darling?"     

"Died, killed in a battle.", Zhong Yue knew she was referring to his demon incarnation, Bo Xun.     

The demon ladies were immediately unsatisfied, they were making noises and said, "How can you let that happen? Quick, return our Mister Bo Xun to us!"     

Zhong Yue was annoyed, he thought puzzlingly, Bo Xun is also me, but these demon ladies don't seem to be amazed by me, instead they are more concern about Bo Xun. Could it be … they have really fallen in love with this demon incarnation of mine?     

He couldn't really understand the mentality of Tian Mo Concubine and the other demon ladies. Although Bo Xun was his demon incarnation and has many beauties around him, Zhong Yue has always been keeping himself from crossing the line with the demon ladies.     

But from the reaction of the demon ladies, they seemed to be more fond of Bo Xun than he himself. This was really intriguing.     

Qiu Jin'er looked at Bai Canghai and asked, "Senior Martial Brother Bai, where is Senior Bai Yuncang?"     

"He … he died!", the question hit right on Bai Canghai's soft spot, he burst into tears as he answered.     

Qiu Jin'er was shocked, she exclaimed, "Senior Bai and you have the divine weapons of Lord Bai, how can he die?"     

Bai Canghai calmed his sorrowing heart, he hesitated and said, "There were a few insect gods that were beleaguering him. Although he was able to fight them off, he has suffered grave injuries. Seeing that he was suppressing the insect gods, I praised him and … and…"     

Qiu Jin'er sighed and comforted him, "Senior Martial Brother Bai, it's not your fault, your words have nothing to do with his death. Senior Bai was only able to suppress the insect gods because he has burnt all of his life force, it is his decision to do so. It is the only way, to protect you."     

Bai Canghai gave a wry smile, his eyes were dead blank.     

Suddenly, Xin Huo furtively said in Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, "Brat Yue, keep a distance away from him. This Bai Zhe is really a mouth of crow. You need to be cautious, don't ever let him praise you, the more he praises someone, the faster that said person will die!"     

Zhong Yue was between laughter and tear, he shook his head and said, "How is it possible? Jin'er has already explained it all, Senior Bai has burnt his life force to protect Senior Martial Brother Bai, this has nothing to do the mouth of a crow."     

All of a sudden, Qiu Jin'er has secretly conducted her voice to Zhong Yue, she said, "Senior martial brother, please don't let Senior Martial Brother Bai praise you anymore! It's better to be a little more cautious, whether or not it is true, we should be more careful. After all, every time Senior Martial Brother Bai praises someone, something bad will always happen."     

At that instant, Zhong Yue was lost of words.     

"This is not a place to linger long, we need to move now.", Fang Jiange abruptly said, "Let's get back to the dark side of the insect planet and we will further discuss our next move there."     

The crowd hid into one of the insect magnates' Yuan Shen secret realms and Zhong Yue asked, "Are there any Ancestral Star gods that survived until now?"     

Fang Jiange shook his head as he answered, "Along the way here, we witnessed a total of two godly battles, both of which the two Ancestral Star gods were captured. These insect gods and mother gods' main targets are to capture our Ancestral Star gods and blood sacrifice them to the mother queen. Thus, these Ancestral Star gods mostly aren't going to survive."     

Gu Hongzi continued, "The insect gods have settled around the ice pathway, we saw some battles ongoing there but didn't dare to get any closer. Now, our concern is how can we leave this insect planet and return to Ancestral Star!"     

He raised his head and looked at the high sky, the Pure Yang lightning zone was their biggest obstacle. Staying in the insect planet was the last choice they would make.     

While flying through the Pure Yang lightning zone and or passing through the ice pathway were like roads to death as well.     

Suddenly, Zhong Yue thought and said, "I have a plan, we might be able to make it out from the insect planet."     

Zhong Yue took out Yu Wenju's corpse and said, "We can hide in this monster god's corpse and cast it up. With it, we might just be able to fly through the Pure Yang lightning zone into the space, what do you all think?"     

The experts looked at one another, they all nodded and said, "It might work! The gods can pass through the Pure Yang lighting zone. With this monster god corpse protecting us on the outside, we might be able to pass through the Pure Yang lightning zone as well!"     

Zhong Yue thought and he asked Bai Canghai, "Senior Martial Brother Bai, do you think it'll work?"     

Bai Canghai nodded and said, "Yes, I do!"     

Immediately, Zhong Yue hesitated, he quickly turned to the little flame in his psyche and asked, "Xin Huo, what do you think about this plan?"     

Xin Huo was insouciant as he answered, "You all will die, no doubt about it."     

Zhong Yue's scalps tingled, he beseeched, "Why?"     

"The gods are only able to fly through the Pure Yang lightning zone because of their Pure Yang Yuan Shen, not their prowess. It's only because their Yuan Shen are in the Pure Yang state, the Pure Yang lightnings wouldn't strike on them."     

Xin Huo explained, "Even if you all hide in the monster god's body, the Pure Yang lightning zone can still sense your Yuan Shen as they are still in the Yin state. Thus, the Pure Yang lightnings will still come at you."     

Zhong Yue said puzzlingly, "That's why the monster god mortal body can help to protect us from the Pure Yang lightnings."     

"No it won't. This big snake's mortal body will surely be struck into pieces by the lightnings.", Xin Huo gave a cold sneer and said, "Don't think too lightly of the Pure Yang lightning zone. At the center of the Pure Yang lightning zone, the lightnings will manifest into the innate dragon gods. Your this big snake's mortal body wouldn't stand a chance in the face of these lightning-formed Leize dragons, two strikes at the most and it will shatter away. Then, it'll be your turn to die."     

A cold chill was sent down Zhong Yue's spine, he secretly glanced over Bai Canghai and thought, Could Brother Canghai really the legendary Comet Innate Spirit Body? His mouth of crow, it's really powerful…     

Zhong Yue thought and suddenly, he has another idea. He looked the experts and said, "It's unlikely we will be able to make it through, but we can place a teleportation portal that sends us out from the insect planet!"     

The experts exchanged a look, Fang Jiange shook his head and replied, "I don't know anything about setting up the teleportation portals."     

Gu Hongzi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The teleportation portals are all god-leveled array formations. If there are the array charts we can follow step by step, we will still be able to do it, but…"     

The demon ladies, Zuo Xiangsheng, Tian Yanzhong and the others nodded as well. But suddenly, Zhong Yue smiled and said, "I know."     

The experts were shocked, their eyes were filled with disbelief as they look at him. While Zhong Yue was pleading in his psyche ocean, "Xin Huo, quick, teach me the teleportation arrays!"     

Xin Huo was surprised, he said puzzlingly, "Didn't you say you know already?"     

"… Haha, what I meant was, you know.", Zhong Yue compliment, "Xin Huo the Great Preceptor, he who knows it all, can do everything he wants. How would the teleportation arrays be any issues to him?"     

Xin Huo laughed loudly, he placed his hands on the waist and said, "You, I like your words! Yes, yes, you are right! The great Xin Huo knows it all and does it all! This teleportation array, it's not even an issue to me! Come, come, I will teach it to you! Of course, to have such a great teacher like me teaching you, if you can't grasp it, then you can only blame yourself for being too stupid. This teleportation array formation is a god-leveled array formation, without a year or two, it's no way you can finish learning it."     

"What? It takes such a long time?", Zhong Yue was shocked.     

Xin Huo gave a cold sneer, he said, "Of course! This one or two years can only allow you to grasp its surface only. If you want to master it, it'll take even longer, up to hundreds of years! This teleportation array I'm going to teach you is no ordinary teleportation array formation. This is a teleportation portal but at the same time, also a cultivation art. Created by the ninth Fuxi Earthly Sovereign, Xi Hao; this cultivation art is called the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], at its extreme state, it allows the cultivator to be anywhere at anytime in the universe. It consists of two types of totem patterns, one was the space and the other was more mystical, the time totem patterns. If you can grasp even the surface of the art in the time of a year or two, you can already be considered a great talent!"     

As he finished talking, Xin Huo casually waved his hand and the space totem patterns and time totem patterns have filled all over Zhong Yue's psyche ocean. Zhong Yue looked over and couldn't move his eyes away from the totem patterns anymore.     

Xin Huo said, "You need to understand what time and space are, what use they have, why do they exist, what meanings do they carry and why do they matter so much. The universe is boundless in terms of space, but time has also played a huge role in it. In the universe, you will see various manifestations of time and also the differences in the flow of time, some quicker, some slower and some, don't even exist. Things you see now may have appeared to be absurd and utterly beyond imagination, but they do exist for a reason. This is an art that only the inheritors can learn, but as the condition is pressing against you, I will make an exception in this case."     

Zhong Yue stared at the space and time totem patterns, he submerged himself in attaining them. These totem patterns were far too complex, beyond the level of any other totem patterns he has ever come across.     

These totem patterns could allow one to travel everywhere in the universe if the cultivator has mastered them!     

Xin Huo was right, this art is hard to attain, a year or two to grasp a brief understanding of it is already a great achievement. But this is an art that even allows one to travel intergalactically. But in my case now, I don't need to teleport so far, I only need to get out from the insect planet, just a million miles far at the most.     

Zhong yue thought, Which means, all I need to grasp is the most primitive teleportation array from it, and we will be able to teleport out from this insect planet already.     

He took out the divine golds and started sculpting them, attaining the abstrusities of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture]. A month later, the divine golds around him have piled up like a mountain.     

Another month passed and they have reached to the dark side of the insect planet. Zhong Yue cleared the divine golds around him and started a sculpting frenzy. A few days later, he has built an incredibly primitive and shabby teleportation portal.     

Needless to say, Xin Huo was bewildered. In just two months of time, Zhong Yue has really built a teleportation array formation!     

This teleportation portal has so many crucial totem patterns missing from it, prob not even the gods know where you guys will be teleported to…, the little flame was speechless as he thought.     

"Let's go!", Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was confident and asked the experts to enter the array formation.
