Longevity Sword Can Speak (1)
Boom!
The two sword lights collided. Zhou Shu took half a step back while the Longevity Sword floated in the air and spun around.
Then Zhou Shu felt a wave of contempt and ridicule.
This was absolutely intolerable!
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, and sword light rose again.
Sword lights filled the warehouse and collided with the various forging materials, producing crisp sounds.
A moment later, Zhou Shu stopped moving, and the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword went back into its sheath.
The Longevity Sword was several feet away from Zhou Shu, floating in the air and spinning.
Whoosh!
The Longevity Sword emitted another black light that swept away a pile of forging materials.
The tip of its sword twitched slightly, as if it was beckoning at Zhou Shu.
Come on, try again!
Zhou Shu felt that it was provoking him!
...
Yes, a sword was provoking him right in front of his face!
It had been a long time since Zhou Shu had encountered such a situation.
"You should be able to understand what I'm saying." Zhou Shu stared at the Longevity Sword coldly. "Come here obediently, or I'll reforge you!"
"Haha…" A voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Shu's mind. "A greenhorn who is not even at the Awakening realm dares to spout nonsense?"
The voice was a little old, and Zhou Shu automatically imagined an old man with white hair and a beard.
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes and snorted. "You can talk? What are you?"
"I'm not a thing!" the old voice said angrily. "I'm a human being, a real human!"
"So, you're not a thing." Zhou Shu nodded. "Do you want me to give you a mirror so that you can take a look at yourself? Tell me, how do you look human?"
"Hmph. What do you know?!" The old voice snorted coldly. "Kid, on account that you're also a human, I'll spare your life—"
"Spare my life?" Zhou Shu interrupted. "You should think about how to beg for mercy later. If you beg for mercy, I might consider sparing your life!"
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shu's aura exploded.
Almost at the same time, he disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of the Longevity Sword.
The Longevity Sword trembled slightly and was about to slash out a sword light.
Before the sword light could be released, Zhou Shu had already punched the Longevity Sword.
The sword light was scattered, and the Longevity Sword let out a clang as Zhou Shu's punch landed.
"You…" The old voice sounded in Zhou Shu's ear, anxious and angry.
Zhou Shu snorted and punched the Longevity Sword again.
His entire body flickered with golden light, and every punch carried monstrous strength.
The Longevity Sword kept bouncing on the ground with terrifying clangs. Judging from its shape, it would probably break if it was hit a few more times.
"Stop it! Stop it now!" The old voice sounded in Zhou Shu's mind.
Zhou Shu sneered without stopping. His fist didn't stop at all. Some people—swords—if he didn't teach them a lesson, they wouldn't understand their status!
"We can talk about this. Just stop it. Stop it," the old voice said anxiously. "I admit defeat. I admit defeat, okay?"
The Longevity Sword buzzed, giving off a feeling that it was begging for mercy.
Zhou Shu stopped attacking and stepped on the Longevity Sword.
The damage was minor, but it was insulting.
The Longevity Sword struggled indignantly, but it was unable to break free from Zhou Shu's strength.
Under the divine ability Total Annihilation, Zhou Shu's strength increased a hundredfold. It was not something the Longevity Sword could compare to.
The Longevity Sword gave up resisting, and Zhou Shu retracted his strength. He continued to step on the Longevity Sword and said coldly, "Tell me what you are first!"
The situation was a little strange. Zhou Shu was stepping on a sword and seemed to be talking to someone.
But if anyone was present, they would only see Zhou Shu speaking to himself.
The Longevity Sword didn't make any sound. Its voice sounded in Zhou Shu's consciousness. This was a spiritual communication.
"I am the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, Shi?Changsheng1."
An old man in a Daoist robe suddenly appeared in Zhou Shu's mind. The old man had white hair and a youthful face.
This should be an image formed by the Longevity Sword's mental power.
"Master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven?" Zhou Shu frowned. "Do you think I'm blind? You're just a sword!"
"It's not that I look down on you…" The old Daoist priest glanced at Zhou Shu disdainfully. "But you have too little knowledge, so you can't understand an existence at my level."
"At your level?" Zhou Shu sneered. "A level that I can step on?"
"Hmph, back then, I could suppress you with one hand!" The old Daoist priest's face turned green and white. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "When the tiger comes down from the mountain to the plains, it is bullied by the?dogs1."
"I haven't beaten you enough, have I? What are you talking about?" Zhou Shu cursed.
The image formed by the Longevity Sword, the old Daoist who called himself Shi Changsheng, frowned and sighed. "Forget it. Since I've fallen into your hands, I'll give you some face."
"Cut the crap!" Zhou Shu shouted. "If you continue spouting nonsense, I'll throw you into the furnace and reforge you.
"Behave yourself. You'll answer whatever I ask you, understand?"
Chapter 422: Above the First Rank, The Longevity Sword Can Speak (2)
"An ordinary forging furnace won't be able to do anything to me," Shi Changsheng murmured, disdain flashing in his eyes. But he still said tactfully, "If there's anything you don't understand, ask away. I've always liked to support the younger generation…"
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. "You said this is the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven?"
"Of course. What else could it be?" Shi Changsheng said. "This place, including these forging materials, belongs to me."
"Wrong." Zhou Shu shook his head.
"Wrong?" Shi Changsheng was stunned. "Impossible. I'm the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. How could I be mistaken?"
"I don't care what it was called before. But now, it and these forging materials are no longer yours. They belong to me," Zhou Shu said calmly.
"You…" Shi Changsheng was furious. "Junior, don't push your luck! I can ignore everything else, but if you want to snatch my grotto-heaven, I won't let you off!"
"Your grotto-heaven? Will it answer if you call it?"
Zhou Shu felt like a cunning bully. It was just a sword, but it had jumped out and told him that the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space and the forging materials he had painstakingly dug out belonged to it. It would be strange if Zhou Shu believed it.
Not to mention whether what the Longevity Sword said was true or not, how could he give up what already belonged to him?
...
"You…" Shi Changsheng was furious. Back then, not to mention calling him, he could easily throw these people in the grotto-heaven out!
But now…
Shi Changsheng sighed.
"Junior, we're both humans. Why are you being so confrontational?" Shi Changsheng said in a low voice. "We're all from the same race. Can't we sit down and talk?"
"Wouldn't it have been easier to adopt this attitude earlier?" Zhou Shu's lips curled up into a smile. "You have to be beaten up before you're willing to speak properly."
You're just a sword, yet you're so arrogant?
"Senior Shi, right?" Zhou Shu smiled. "Friends are often made after a fight. Tell me, what's your background?"
He lifted his foot, picked up the Longevity Sword, and placed it in front of him. He sat down on a pile of forging materials and pretended to talk as an equal.
Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes.?Damn it! Why are young people nowadays so immoral?
He's clearly a first-rank martial artist, but why could he suddenly erupt with such powerful combat strength?
If not for the fact that I'm not at my peak, hmph—
Shi Changsheng snorted in his heart and said, "Everything I've said is the truth. I am indeed the master of this Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, Shi Changsheng!"
Zhou Shu shrugged. "Alright, I'll take it that you are indeed the master of this Zhuling Grotto-Heaven for now. Then, why did you become like this?"
"What do you know?" Shi Changsheng glared at him.?What kind of person are you? Since you're ignorant, you shouldn't spout nonsense!
"This is called becoming one with the weapon!" Shi Changsheng said. "This is the highest realm of forging!"
Zhou Shu was speechless.?Do you think I don't know how to forge?
"You won't understand even if I tell you about this. Your realm is too low." Shi Changsheng waved his hand. "You just need to know that I'm still alive and well. That's enough."
"My realm is too low?" Zhou Shu was speechless. No one in the Ten Nations Continent would dare to say such things to him.
It wasn't that Zhou Shu was bragging, but with his current strength, the Great Qin emperor wouldn't have any objections if he said that he was the number one person in the Ten Nations.
Zhou Shu couldn't be bothered to argue with Shi Changsheng. "By the way, what did you say about the Awakening realm? What realm is that?"
"You're not exactly weak, but you don't even know about the Awakening realm?" Shi Changsheng looked at Zhou Shu in confusion. "Has the Martial Dao declined to such an extent?"
Frowning, he asked, "What era is this?"
"What era?" Zhou Shu pondered and casually gave out the reign year of Emperor Yuan Feng
"Great Xia? The Ten Nations?" Shi Changsheng frowned as if he had never heard of this before.
Zhou Shu was also puzzled.?Could this Shi Changsheng be someone from a thousand years ago?
At the time, Great Xia didn't exist.
Shi Changsheng looked at Zhou Shu and asked, "You said that the highest cultivation level in your Ten Nations Continent is only first rank?"
"That's right. There are experts above the first rank of the Martial Dao in the Demon Realm. They're called Great Demons. It's said that there are Demon Kings above Great Demons," Zhou Shu said.
He also looked at Shi Changsheng thoughtfully.
Shi Changsheng's eyes flickered. After a while, he said, "Above the first rank of the Martial Dao is the Earth Immortal realm. And above that is the Awakening realm, the realm of grotto-heaven masters.
"It corresponds to the Demon King realm."
"This is the grotto-heaven you are talking about?" Zhou Shu pondered. "You said that you were once the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Are you at the Awakening realm? Is the Awakening realm so weak?"
Shi Changsheng was speechless.?I'm weak?
I'm not weak at all!
Something's wrong with you, young man!
"I was at the Awakening realm back then. But now, I don't have much strength left," Shi Changsheng said. "If I was at my peak, with your strength, you wouldn't be my match.
"I see that you're only a first-rank martial artist. How can your combat strength be close to the Awakening realm? Is this a secret martial technique of this era? There was no such domineering secret technique back then." Shi Changsheng took the opportunity to ask.
"Senior, the new generation surpasses the old," Zhou Shu said. "The Martial Dao has always been improving."
"The highest realm is only the first rank of the Martial Dao. You call this progress?" Shi Changsheng sneered. "In my era, Earth Immortals were just ordinary. Only those at the Awakening realm could be considered overlords.
"First-rank martial artist, hehe…"
"Overlords?" Zhou Shu glanced sideways at Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng was a little angry.?I was an overlord back then! If I hadn't met an unreasonable fellow like you, would I have fallen into such a state?
A mere first-rank martial artist… Even if I'm not as good as I was back then, I can still kill you with one strike!
You are clearly only a first-rank martial artist. Who knew you would be so strong?
Ordinary Earth Immortals are probably not your match.
"Senior Shi, were there many Awakening realm cultivators in your era?" Zhou Shu gave Shi Changsheng some face. After all, he was an old monster from countless years ago.
"How is that possible!" Shi Changsheng said. "The people in the Awakening realm are overlords. Even in our era, there were only thirty-six grotto-heaven masters.
"But they should all be dead by now. Sigh, if they can't live forever, so what if they are in the Thearch realm? They only have ten thousand years to live, right?" Shi Changsheng mentioned another realm.
Thearch realm!
"There's a realm above the Awakening realm?" Zhou Shu asked.
"That has nothing to do with you. Don't try to find out more. There's nothing to be gained by knowing." Shi Changsheng shook his head.
"In your life, it's already a blessing to be able to cultivate to the Awakening realm.
"That's all I can say. You still haven't told me who you are."
"Me?" Zhou Shu smiled. "Great Xia's King of the South, Great Qin's Side-by-side King, Great Liang's Country Protector King, and the owner of the Huaxia Pavilion, Zhou Shu."
Shi Changsheng: "…"
He looked at Zhou Shu with a strange expression.?Do you think I'm a fool? Back then, we also had countries.
Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Liang sound like three nations.
How can one man be a king in three nations?
Could it be that the world has become unfamiliar to me?
"Old Shi, you said that you're the master of this Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Then if someone dug a hole in your house, shouldn't you mend it?" Zhou Shu said.
Shi Changsheng: "…"
"Do you think I have that ability now?"
If I had that ability, the first thing I would do would be to kick you out of the grotto-heaven!
The forging materials I've worked so hard to accumulate for so many years are almost all dug up by you!
"So, you're still lying to me. As the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, you can't even do this?" Zhou Shu said in annoyance.
"Even if I could, I wouldn't bother," Shi Changsheng said. "It's already on the verge of death and has no value in repairing it. Why don't we let nature take its course and let it leave calmly?"
Chapter 423: Zhuling Grotto-Heaven (1)
"On the verge of death? What do you mean?" Zhou Shu frowned at Shi Changsheng. He was a little sensitive now. The Longevity Sword could speak and become a person in his consciousness. Could the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space do this too?
A perfectly good space was on the verge of death?
"You don't understand?" Shi Changsheng glanced at Zhou Shu. "I really don't know how you cultivated to this point."
Zhou Shu: "…"
Did I beat you too lightly?
The Longevity Sword is really sarcastic!
"You don't know what the meaning of being on the verge of death is? It's dying, understand?" Shi Changsheng said.
"Nonsense!" Zhou Shu was furious. How could he not know what it meant? "I'm asking you about this space, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven! It's not human. What do you mean it's dying?"
"So what if it's not a human? You're prejudiced," Shi Changsheng said. "Everything in the world has life and death. Why can't the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven die? It's not good for you to be like this. You can't discriminate against things."
Zhou Shu: "…"
...
When did I discriminate against it? I was just asking. Can't you talk nicely? Why do you have to talk like that?
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth. "Alright, let's just assume that the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven is about to die. What will happen if it dies? I mean, what will happen here?"
Shi Changsheng knew when to stop. After all, this wasn't the past. He couldn't provoke this junior too much.
"When people die, everything is gone. It's the same with objects. When they die, there's nothing left," Shi Changsheng said.
"Boom, it will collapse. Do you understand?"
"This whole space will collapse and disappear? How long does it have?" Zhou Shu said.
The passage between here and the Ten Nations wouldn't open for another two years. If this world collapsed, it was obvious that everything inside would die.
"At the minimum a few years, at the maximum a few decades," Shi Changsheng said.
Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was at least still a few years away.
But he had originally planned to treat this place as a branch of the Huaxia Pavilion. Now, it seemed that he couldn't. In that case, before leaving this time, he had to dig up all the mines here. Otherwise, the next time he wanted to enter, there might not be anything left here.
I have to make them dig faster!?Zhou Shu thought.
"Brother Zhou, look, we've spoken frankly." Shi Changsheng forced a smile. "Can you return the forging materials in this grotto-heaven to me?
"Forget about the ones you used. I'll take them as a gift for you, Brother Zhou." Shi Changsheng waved his hand generously.
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng with a faint smile.
Shi Changsheng looked conflicted. "At most, I'll give you thirty percent!"
His face was full of distress, as if he was cutting flesh on his body.
Zhou Shu remained silent, still looking at Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng gritted his teeth. "Fifty percent! No more!
"I painstakingly gathered these forging materials for many years and spent a lot of effort to migrate them to the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. They're all my life!"
"Old Shi, don't think too much," Zhou Shu said. "It's impossible for me to give you forging materials. If we get along well, it won't be a problem to let you swallow fifty kilograms of forging materials.
"If we don't get along, Old Shi, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shi Changsheng's eyes were spitting fire. They were really spitting fire.
In Zhou Shu's mind, Shi Changsheng was so angry that his body turned somewhat ethereal.
"That's outrageous!" Shi Changsheng said angrily. "Don't force me to destroy everything!"
"Old Shi, you're wrong." Zhou Shu shook his head. "Old Shi, put yourself in my shoes. If you found some mines in an ownerless place and painstakingly dug them out, would you give them to anyone who jumped out and said that they belonged to him?"
"Who said this place doesn't have an owner?" Shi Changsheng said angrily.
"Old Shi, I'm trying to reason with you. You'd better calm down," Zhou Shu said calmly. "Otherwise, I won't be reasonable.
"If I'm unreasonable, you won't get any of these forging materials."
"Very well!" Shi Changsheng made a panting gesture and said in a low voice, "The new generation really surpasses the old. Tell me, what do I have to do to be willing to return these forging materials to me?
"Cultivation techniques, secret forging formulas, what do you want?
"Or I'll tell you how to break through to the Earth Immortal realm!
"It's not that I'm bragging, but anything I take out will be extremely beneficial to you. Don't offend me for some forging materials. It's not worth it.
"How old are you this year? You've been stuck at the first rank for many years, right? With my guidance, you can break through to the Earth Immortal realm, and it's not impossible for you to break through to the Awakening realm in the future.
"At that time, you will be the number one person in the world. You can have anything you want. You probably won't even bother to look at the forging materials in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven."
Shi Changsheng spoke confidently. If he failed to threaten him, he would tempt him. He believed that no martial artist could refuse the temptation of breaking through to a higher level.
If it were anyone else, they might really not be able to resist the temptation. As the ruler of a country, Emperor Wei Wu could even do those crazy things in order to break through the first rank of the Martial Dao.
Chapter 424: Zhuling Grotto-Heaven (2)
If someone said that they could help a first-rank martial artist break through to a higher realm, not many first-rank martial artists in the world could withstand this temptation.
But Zhou Shu was not among these people.
"I think I'm twenty. Yup, twenty." Zhou Shu rubbed his chin. "Let me calculate. I was stuck at the first rank of the Martial Dao for a few days…"
Shi Changsheng: "…"
Twenty?
A twenty-year-old first-rank martial artist?
He had seen first-rank martial artists at the age of twenty. There was no lack of geniuses in any era. He, Shi Changsheng, was also a genius when he was young.
When he broke through to the first rank of the Martial Dao back then, he was only in his twenties.
But he was just a twenty-year-old first-rank martial artist who had just broken through to the first rank a few days ago. How could he erupt with strength comparable to an Earth Immortal at their peak?
Shi Changsheng shivered at the thought of Zhou Shu beating up the Longevity Sword.
...
"I don't lack Martial Dao cultivation techniques or forging formulas," Zhou Shu continued. "As for breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, I'm not in a hurry.
"How about this, Old Shi? You work for me, and I'll give you whatever you want.
"I have plenty of Martial Dao cultivation techniques and forging formulas." Zhou Shu waved his hand generously. "I also have plenty of forging materials."
He pointed to the mountain of forging materials in the warehouse.
It's mine. All mine!?Shi Changsheng roared in his heart.
Shi Changsheng stared at Zhou Shu and said solemnly, "Is there really no room for discussion?"
"Aren't we discussing now?" Zhou Shu asked. "Old Shi, you will gain a lot from serving me.
"Although I don't know what happened to you, Old Shi, your main body is the Longevity Sword, right?
"Previously, I saw that the sword qi you slashed out was extremely sharp. It should be easy for you to split mountains and rocks. Thos way, all you have to do is split mountains, and someone else will do the digging."
Zhou Shu continued, "I'll give you ten percent of the ore dug out. How about that?
"This is on account that you're a senior, Old Shi. Otherwise, there would definitely not be such an amount."
Shi Changsheng: "…"
After all this talk, you want me to go mining?
You want my Longevity Sword to split open mountains?
Do you know how powerful the Longevity Sword is?
There's probably no weapon stronger than my Longevity Sword in the world. You want the number one weapon in the world to split open mountains?
Even if you said that you wanted the Longevity Sword to be your personal sword, that would do.
"Are you serious?" Shi Changsheng glared at him.
"Of course." Zhou Shu shrugged. "Old Shi, ten percent isn't a small amount."
"Do you know the power of the Longevity Sword?" Shi Changsheng said. "The Longevity Sword is the number one weapon in the world. If you hold the Longevity Sword, with your previous strength, killing an Earth Immortal is nothing."
"And?" Zhou Shu asked. "Even without the Longevity Sword, I can kill Great Demons very easily.
"I'm not used to swords forged by others."
Zhou Shu patted the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword on his body.
If he used the Longevity Sword to kill enemies, the Legendary Armament Canon wouldn't give him any rewards. So what if it was powerful?
Shi Changsheng felt a little confused.?Who exactly did I meet?
Does he really not understand, or is he pretending not to?
How can an earth-grade weapon compare to the Longevity Sword?
"I can work with you!" Shi Changsheng said in a deep voice after hesitating for a moment. "But I have a condition!"
"Tell me," Zhou Shu said noncommittally.
Shi Changsheng was extremely mysterious. It was as if he was an ancient mighty figure.
Zhou Shu didn't care about Martial Dao techniques and forging formulas, but the secrets in Shi Changsheng's mind were very valuable.
Therefore, Zhou Shu didn't mind giving him some benefits. Who knew how many secrets this old monster had hidden?
This was the greatest value of Shi Changsheng.
"It's not just the mines in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven," Shi Changsheng said. "After you leave the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, I want ten percent of all the ores you obtain."
"Not the ores I obtain." Zhou Shu shook his head. "It's only because you helped me dig out the mines that you get ten percent."
"Okay! Deal!" Shi Changsheng said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Daoist's image disappeared from Zhou Shu's consciousness.
Zhou Shu opened his eyes and saw the gray Longevity Sword clang and suddenly soar into the sky.
Zhou Shu frowned.?Is the Longevity Sword running away?
Boom!
He'd just had the thought when he heard a distant crash.
Then came a continuous rumbling like a landslide.
Shi Songtao ran in, shouting in a panic, "Pavilion Master, bad news! A sword flew out of nowhere and split the back mountain. Our demonic beast miners were almost buried alive."
"There's no need to make a fuss." Zhou Shu rubbed his eyebrows. "I sent someone to help split open the mountain.
"Have Yao Buqi and his men follow that sword. The sword will split open the mountains with mines. Get them to mine faster."
This Longevity Sword is really impatient!
"Pavilion Master, that's your sword?" Shi Songtao was stunned and looked impressed. "Pavilion Master, you can already control a sword from so far away? As expected of the number one person in the world."
"Alright, stop sucking up and go. Inform all the miners to speed up!" Zhou Shu waved his hand angrily.
After sending Shi Songtao away, Zhou Shu fell into deep thought.
He didn't know Shi Changsheng's origin, so what he said was vague.
But he was probably not lying about the fact that the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space was collapsing.
Earth Immortal, Awakening, Thearch, and then the Great Thearch realms?
The Awakening realm can be the master of a grotto-heaven. If Shi Changsheng didn't lie, there were once thirty-six grotto-heaven masters in their era. Does that mean that there are thirty-six spaces like this?
If there are really thirty-six such spaces, won't I be rich if he can find all of them?
I'll have to ask Shi Changsheng later.
Shi Changsheng is the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, but it has become the space of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. What secrets are there?
Zhou Shu pondered.?And how did he become a sword?
He didn't ask Shi Changsheng about these things.
Even if he asked, Shi Changsheng might not tell the truth.
In the end, neither of them trusted the other now.
Now that they had plans for each other, they had reached a temporary agreement.
Zhou Shu didn't think that his previous intimidation could really scare Shi Changsheng, who had lived for countless years.
Shi Changsheng's reaction was most likely an act.
The Longevity Sword can devour forging materials. It's not too safe to leave these forging materials here.?Zhou Shu sized up the storeroom and pondered.
Shi Songtao can't defend against the Longevity Sword.
I have to find a way to forge more Cosmic Bangles and put away these materials.
There are still too few forgers.
Zhou Shu had a headache. It was definitely impossible for him to do it alone.
No matter how fast he could forge, there was still a limit.
If the forgers in the camp split their manpower to forge Cosmic Bangles, the progress of forging other weapons would slow down.
They were not only facing the imminent collapse of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven but also the threat of the Demon Realm army outside.
He definitely couldn't stop the forging.
Shi Changsheng seems to be a forger. Zhou Shu thought of a solution.?I have to think of a way to use him. He's a treasure. I have to squeeze out all the value from him.
The forging process can also be optimized. If it's an assembly line, it should increase the efficiency of the forging.
Time, of course. What we're most lacking now is time!
Zhou Shu sighed. There were only two years left until the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space reopened, and he still had too many preparations to make.
