Chapter 425: Sword Control Technique, Yang Hong Makes Another Contribution (1)
"How did you do it, Master?" Lu Wenshuang asked while looking up at Zhou Shu and helping activate the True Fire in the furnace.
"It's just a sword control technique. It's nothing," Zhou Shu said calmly.
Several days had passed since Zhou Shu brought back the Longevity Sword.
Over the past few days, the entire Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space was brimming with rumbling sounds.
Mountains were constantly being destroyed by a gray sword.
Everyone already knew that it was Zhou Shu's sword.
As for why the sword could split mountains without Zhou Shu appearing, everyone was puzzled. But only Lu Wenshuang took the opportunity to ask.
Zhou Shu didn't tell anyone that the Longevity Sword could speak.
Shi Changsheng didn't communicate with the others. He was probably unwilling to let others know this secret.
"Sword control technique?" Lu Wenshuang's eyes lit up. "Master, can I learn it?"
"I'll think about it when you're on your best behavior," Zhou Shu said.
How could he know any sword control technique? He was just spouting nonsense.
"I'll definitely perform well!" Lu Wenshuang said with certainty. She increased the output of her spiritual essence, and the True Fire in the furnace burned fiercely.
...
These days, she had been doing odd jobs in the forging room almost all the time. Whenever a Forging Master's spiritual essence couldn't support the True Fire, she would help them. She never slacked off.
This made Zhou Shu feel embarrassed to take the Abyss Rainbow Sword from her.
But thinking that he didn't need the Abyss Rainbow Sword for the time being, he pretended not to remember and let Lu Wenshuang keep the Abyss Rainbow Sword for the time being.
Boom!
As he spoke, another explosion sounded in the distance.
It was unknown if the Longevity Sword, or Shi Changsheng, had vented all his anger on splitting the mountains, but he hadn't stopped moving in the past few days.
All the mines in the space were probably going to be split open by him.
Others might have to spend time looking for mines, but Shi Changsheng knew exactly where they were.
Moreover, although Shi Changsheng was just a sword, he was much stronger than Zhou Shu if he didn't use the divine ability Total Annihilation.
Zhou Shu estimated that even if he encountered a Great Demon, he would probably not be at a disadvantage.
Zhou Shu didn't even know how a sword had such strength.
Boom!
The ground shook violently. Inside the forging room, several furnaces were overturned.
The crowd of forgers ducked.
Zhou Shu frowned. Shi Changsheng was going too far!
He threw a newly forged Cosmic Bangle to Lu Wenshuang and stood up to leave the forging room.
Swish!
Zhou Shu had just left the forging room when a light shot over. It was the Longevity Sword, hovering in front of him.
"Zhou Shu, what did you do to the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven!" Shi Changsheng's voice sounded in Zhou Shu's mind.
"Look who's talking," Zhou Shu replied in his consciousness. "Why did you cause such a huge commotion? Do you know how many weapons you caused me to destroy?"
"I had nothing to do with it!" Shi Changsheng transformed into the old Daoist priest in Zhou Shu's consciousness and frowned. "It wasn't because of me. It was the movement of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven!"
"What happened?" Zhou Shu frowned.
"What happened? I have to ask you!" Shi Changsheng said angrily. "According to normal calculations, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven should still have a few years left. What did you do to it? Why did it enter the destruction period early?"
"What do you mean? What makes you think it's my fault? Can't it be your own miscalculation?" Zhou Shu frowned.
"My miscalculation?" Shi Changsheng said. "Why don't you ask around who I am! This Zhuling Grotto-Heaven is formed from my dantian. I may be mistaken in other things, but I won't make this mistake!"
A martial artist's dantian becomes a grotto-heaven in the Awakening realm??Zhou Shu silently noted down a knowledge point.
"What makes you think I caused it?" Zhou Shu said.
He was actually already feeling a little guilty. The reason why the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven was like this was very likely related to him forcefully breaking through the barrier between this place and the Demon Realm and sending the million-strong Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm.
It was possible that his actions at the time had damaged the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven…
But even if he had known that this would happen, Zhou Shu wouldn't have hesitated. He would have done it anyway.
The million-strong army of the Demon Realm was always a threat to the Ten Nations Alliance. If he didn't send them away, who knew how many casualties the Ten Nations' army would suffer?
"How much longer does the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven have?" Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng. He would definitely not admit to Shi Changsheng that he could have been the one to cause this.
Boom!
There was a loud bang. When Zhou Shu looked up, he saw lightning flash across the sky.
"Do you see? The natural disasters have already begun. It's about to die." A trace of sadness flashed across Shi Changsheng's face. "In at most three months, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven will completely collapse and disappear from the world."
After the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven disappeared, there would be no trace of Shi Changsheng in the world anymore. In the future, only the Longevity Sword would be left.
Shi Changsheng didn't argue with Zhou Shu anymore. He was full of sorrow. If not for the fact that he didn't have a physical body, Zhou Shu felt that he might have cried.
Chapter 426: Sword Control Technique, Yang Hong Makes Another Contribution (2)
"It was going to collapse anyway. Now it's just a little earlier," Zhou Shu comforted Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng acted as if he didn't hear Zhou Shu.
"Three months at the most. This is going to be troublesome," Zhou Shu muttered.
"Old Shi, do you have a way to open the passage to the Ten Nations?" Zhou Shu faced Shi Changsheng and cupped his hands.
Shi Changsheng glanced at him and said, "No. I'm neither human nor ghost. What ways can I have?"
"Old Shi, I apologize if I offended you with my words previously because of my ignorance," Zhou Shu said solemnly.
"Old Shi, although there's some friction between us, we can't be considered mortal enemies. Even if you have any resentment toward me, it has nothing to do with these human soldiers.
"Old Shi, if you have a way, please help on account of these tens of thousands of humans!"
"I'm not angry with you. I really have no way." Shi Changsheng shook his head. "If the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven collapses, everything left here will return to its original state. The same goes for the Longevity Sword.
"Even if I don't save you, I have to save myself. But I already severed my connection with the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven back then. There's nothing I can do now."
...
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng for a long time. He was sure that Shi Changsheng wasn't lying.
"If you can't return to the Ten Nations Continent, you can go to the Demon Realm," Shi Changsheng suddenly said. "Isn't the passage to the Demon Realm still open?"
He snorted.?That isn't an ordinary passage!
Apart from Zhou Shu, he couldn't think of anyone else who could break through such a passageway.
Shi Changsheng wasn't stupid. The Zhuling Grotto-Heaven entering the destruction period early was most likely related to that passage!
But now was not the time to fuss about it. He just played dumb.
"To the Demon Realm?" Zhou Shu frowned.
The Ten Nations Alliance was not ready yet. If they went directly to the Demon Realm, they would be walking right into a trap.
"With your cultivation and my Longevity Sword, even if you encounter a Demon King, you have a thirty percent chance of escaping unscathed," Shi Changsheng continued. "You won't die if you go to the Demon Realm."
"I won't die. But what about the army?" Zhou Shu said.
Of course, he knew he wouldn't die. He wasn't strong enough to fight, but if he wanted to escape, there weren't many people in the world who could stop him.
But while he could escape, the Ten Nations Alliance could not.
If he went to the Demon Realm now, he would most likely encounter the million-strong Demon Realm army that he had sent back there.
In their territory, Zhou Shu wasn't confident that he could survive with the Ten Nations Alliance.
"No gentleman has a petty mind, and no true man is without venom," Shi Changsheng said. "I don't care how many people die as long as you can live."
He looked straight at Zhou Shu. "With your cultivation and my Longevity Sword, you can go anywhere you want. Even if the army dies, it will be easy for you to form a new force."
"Shut up!" Zhou Shu shouted coldly. "Shi Changsheng, I don't care who you were in the past, whether you were from a righteous sect or an evil sect.
"But here with me, put away all your tricks!
"Although I, Zhou Shu, am not a good person, I won't abandon my comrades!"
"How is that abandoning them?" Shi Changsheng said. "On the battlefield, everyone is just fighting for their lives. Do you want to live and die with them? Don't be naive!"
"It's hard to say if I'll die." Zhou Shu looked at the Longevity Sword. "But before the army dies, the Longevity Sword will definitely be destroyed.
"Didn't you say that with my cultivation and the Longevity Sword, I can fight a Demon King? I want to see how many demons I can kill with the Longevity Sword. If I risk destroying the Longevity Sword, will I be able to kill a Demon King?!"
Shi Changsheng: "…"
He wanted to say something else, but Zhou Shu had already flicked his sleeve and put the Longevity Sword into his Cosmic Bangle.
Zhou Shu's expression was solemn as he looked up at the lightning and thunder that occasionally appeared in the sky.
Whether he left the army alone or whether he died with the army, both were not options for Zhou Shu.
Even if he had to take a detour to the Demon Realm, Zhou Shu was prepared to return to the Ten Nations Continent with the Ten Nations Alliance!
We still have three months. There's still time!?Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes.
"Deputy Pavilion Master!" Zhou Shu shouted.
Shi Songtao emerged from the forging room behind him. "Pavilion Master, you called?"
"From now on, gather all your strength and forge Cosmic Bangles!" Zhou Shu said in a low voice.
"According to the steps I've disassembled, everyone will work together. As long as the standards are uniform, there won't be any problems with the final star fixing.
"I want to see a hundred Cosmic Bangles in two months!"
One Cosmic Bangle only contained five feet square in space. A hundred Cosmic Bangles was actually far from being able to contain all the forging materials in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.
But in the current situation, there was no other choice. Without the Cosmic Bangles, they couldn't bring much forging materials with them.
"A hundred Cosmic Bangles in two months?" Shi Songtao said in surprise. "Pavilion Master, this is a little difficult."
They would have to forge more than one Cosmic Bangle almost every day, but the Cosmic Bangle was a ranked weapon.
"I don't want to hear any excuses! In the next two months, I'll allow you to use all the resources in this world, be it things or people. Even if you ask Great General Meng to cooperate with you, there will be no problem.
"In two months, if I don't see a hundred Cosmic Bangles, you can abdicate as the deputy pavilion master."
"I—" Shi Songtao gritted his teeth. "I will definitely complete the mission!"
He turned around and went back into the forging room. Without delay, he gathered all the forgers in the camp and began to forge Cosmic Bangles.
In the next two months, even if he didn't sleep or rest, he had to complete his mission!
If the forgers wanted to learn the secret forging formulas of the Huaxia Pavilion, they would have to cooperate!
Shi Songtao looked like he was about to go to war, and his face was full of killing intent.
"Yang Hong!" Zhou Shu shouted.
"Your Highness!" Yang Hong jumped out.
He had spent the last few days in camp recuperating.
"Take the Mo Mei Sword and follow me."
With only three months left, even if he forged without rest, how many ranked weapons could he forge?
Forging standard weapons would only increase the combat power of the soldiers to a limited extent.
Therefore, the most practical thing now was the Dark Cloud Armor!
The Dark Cloud Armor was the reward from Mo Mei Sword. It was also easier than forging weapons.
The only thing to worry about was how many demonic beasts were left in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Hopefully, they hadn't been wiped out by the Ten Nations Alliance.
Yang Hong didn't understand, but he still said, "Your Highness, the Mo Mei Sword is always with me."
"Let's go!" Zhou Shu flicked his sleeve, and a force swept Yang Hong into the sky.
Yang Hong was still in a daze when he flew into the sky.
When he came to, he was back on the ground.
Boom!
A familiar feeling surged into his heart, and Yang Hong felt that his body was filled with strength.
He was very familiar with this feeling. Previously, when Zhou Shu had sent him out to kill demonic beasts, he had used this secret technique to give him incomparably powerful strength.
"There are more than a dozen demonic beasts ahead. Kill them all." Zhou Shu's voice entered Yang Hong's ears.
Although Yang Hong was still a little puzzled, this wasn't the time to hesitate.
He drew his Mo Mei Sword, and his body glowed golden.
This time, Zhou Shu shared the Golden Bell Shield Technique with him.
"Kill!" Yang Hong roared and charged into the group of demonic beasts.
Zhou Shu didn't interfere in the battle. These dozen or so surviving demonic beasts were not too strong. Yang Hong, who had the Golden Bell Shield to protect him, could handle them.
He had other things to do.
With a flash, Zhou Shu had already arrived in front of a nearby mine that had been split open by the Longevity Sword. His divine sense was like hands as he controlled six Cosmic Bangles to fly out. At the same time, sword light crisscrossed and cut through the scattered ore.
An hour later, Yang Hong finally killed all the demonic beasts.
Before he could catch his breath, he felt himself flying again.
A moment later, he landed in another group of demonic beasts. Around the demonic beasts were some dumbfounded soldiers.
"Leave these demonic beasts to him. Come over and collect the ore!" Zhou Shu shouted as he descended from the sky.
Chapter 427: He Offered Too Much (1)
Yang Hong placed his hands on his knees and even stabbed his treasured Mo Mei Sword into the ground beside him.
He said with his breathing ragging, "Your Highness, I can't take it anymore. I really can't."
Even though Zhou Shu had shared the Golden Bell Shield Technique with him, he hadn't cultivated it himself. After fighting for an entire day, he was so tired that his entire body was numb.
Although he knew that Zhou Shu was giving him a chance to contribute, he didn't want to kill anymore now. He just wanted to lie flat.
"How can a man say he can't?" Zhou Shu said calmly.
On this day, he had brought Yang Hong around the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Once they met a demonic beast, he would throw Yang Hong out to kill it.
Sometimes, when there were already human troops surrounding the demonic beasts, Zhou Shu would make them stop and let Yang Hong kill the demonic beasts.
In fact, Zhou Shu would even kick over some of the overly powerful demonic beasts that Yang Hong couldn't deal with and let him kill them with his Mo Mei Sword.
This process was both blissful and painful for Yang Hong.
At the end of the day, he was still in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space. After killing so many demonic beasts, Yang Hong didn't know how his military merits would be calculated.
When he went back, he would be promoted by three ranks, right?
But this process was also very painful.
Even with the Golden Bell Shield protecting his body, it was really not that easy to fight demonic beasts. Not only was it tiring, but it also hurt to be hit.
...
If others knew what Yang Hong was thinking, they would definitely spit in his face.
The king had personally brought him to earn military merits, and he actually dared to complain!
Wasn't he being ungrateful?
"Your Highness, I really can't do it anymore," Yang Hong said, "I'll really die of exhaustion if this continues."
"Forget it. Go back to camp on your own." Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shu had already disappeared.
Yang Hong opened his mouth.
Where am I, and how far is this place from the camp?
I'm so tired that I can barely lift my fingers, and I don't have the strength that His Highness shared. I will die if I encounter a demonic beast.
Yang Hong looked around helplessly, his hair standing on end.
Zhou Shu naturally didn't leave Yang Hong in a dangerous place. There were no demonic beasts nearby.
There were not many demonic beasts left in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.
The rest were already harmless.
For example, the demonic beast miners and Yao Qing, who had failed to retreat and had no choice but to continue working with Zhou Shu.
The main force of the million-strong Demon Realm army had already been sent back to the Demon Realm. The demonic beasts still in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven had been wiped out by the human army over the past few days.
Under such circumstances, there was no longer any danger in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.
Zhou Shu still had things to do, so he naturally wouldn't send Yang Hong back to the camp.
After a few breaths, Zhou Shu arrived at the blood vortex guarded by Meng Bai.
The blood vortex was still ten feet wide. In the middle of the black hole, lightning surrounded it, and the scenery of the Demon Realm was slightly visible inside.
"King of the South!" Meng Bai greeted.
"Great General, things have changed. Our plans are about to change." Zhou Shu went straight to the point.
"Things have changed?" Meng Bai's expression turned solemn. "Tell me about it, Your Highness."
"This world will collapse completely in three months at most. When that happens, everything here will be destroyed. Before that happens, we have to get out of here." Zhou Shu didn't beat around the bush.
"What?" Meng Bai was shocked. He subconsciously looked at the blood vortex.
There were still almost two years before the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield reopened. If they had to leave this world within three months, they could only pass through the Demon Realm…
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Meng Bai's mind.
He even completed a tactical deduction!
The result was the Ten Nations Alliance being completely wiped out!
Behind this passage was the Demon Realm!
Once they went over, they would not only face the million-strong Demon Realm army from before but also the endless reinforcements from the Demon Realm.
Entering the Demon Realm was no different from courting death.
"Yes, that's the only way." Zhou Shu nodded, confirming Meng Bai's thoughts. "Now, we can only take a detour through the Demon Realm to return to the Ten Nations. There's no other way."
Meng Bai was stunned on the spot. It was easier said than done to take a detour to the Demon Realm and return to the Ten Nations.
"Your Highness, there are only a total of ninety thousand people left in this world," Meng Bai said with a heavy expression. "Even though there are ninety thousand people, and they can all fight, it's still only ninety thousand people.
"If we go to the Demon Realm, the enemies we face might be ten times, a hundred times more!"
Meng Bai didn't say the word 'hopeless'.
"So what?" Zhou Shu said. "It's better than staying in this world and waiting for death.
"If we stay here, we'll definitely die in three months. If we go to the Demon Realm, we still have a chance of survival."
Meng Bai smiled bitterly. This chance of survival was too slim.
Even if they went to the Demon Realm, they wouldn't know how to return to the Ten Nations. Would the Demon Realm give them a chance to find their way home?
"Great General, this matter is not negotiable. We have to go to the Demon Realm no matter what," Zhou Shu said solemnly.
"What you have to do now is to get prepared with General Wang Mu and the others! I have some Dark Cloud Armor sets. You'll be in charge of who gets the equipment."
Zhou Shu waved his hand, and countless Dark Cloud Armor sets fell to the ground.
Meng Bai was dumbfounded. Even though he was already used to Zhou Shu creating things from time to time, it was still difficult for him to imagine how Zhou Shu had forged so many Dark Cloud Armor sets.
Chapter 428: He Offered Too Much (2)
There had to be thousands of Dark Cloud Armor sets.
Zhou Shu glanced at the passageway leading to the Demon Realm. Should he go over and use the Mo Mei Sword to kill some more demonic beasts and get more Dark Cloud Armor sets?
Immediately, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It was easy to kill demons earlier, but one day outside was one year inside.
There were only three months left in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, which was equivalent to six hours outside.
If he became entangled by the Demon Realm army when he reached the other side, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven might be gone if he was delayed a little.
Then the army remaining here would be gone.
This would be putting the cart before the horse.
Speaking of which, the changes in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven had disrupted Zhou Shu's previous plans.
Originally, he had almost two years left, and he could have taken his time preparing.
But there were less than three months left. There was no time to do much.
After telling Meng Bai what was going on, Zhou Shu didn't delay at all. He used his divine ability Unstoppable For a Thousand Miles again and returned to the camp of the Huaxia Pavilion's Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch.
He went into his room and shut the door behind him.
...
Zhou Shu took out the Longevity Sword.
He flicked the body of the Longevity Sword and said, "Old Shi, come out. I have something to tell you."
"Are all young people so rude these days? Do you know how hateful it is to disturb someone's sleep?" Shi Changsheng's voice sounded in Zhou Shu's consciousness.
"I'm sorry. It's an emergency. Please forgive me, Old Shi." Zhou Shu didn't mind his tone.
As soon as Zhou Shu gave in, Shi Changsheng felt uncomfortable all over. He even felt a little uneasy.
The lad doesn't seem like such a polite person.
He's not planning anything bad, is he?
Thinking of this, Shi Changsheng softened his tone. "Forget it. Tell me what you want."
"Old Shi, I want to ask what the relationship between the Ten Nations and the Demon Realm is," Zhou Shu said solemnly. "Why did your Zhuling Grotto-Heaven become the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space? Also, whose method was it to isolate the Ten Nations from the Demon Realm?"
Originally, Zhou Shu had planned to slowly ask him about these things.
But he didn't have the time.
These things might be related to whether they could return to the Ten Nations from the Demon Realm.
Shi Changsheng was experienced. As soon as he heard Zhou Shu's words, he knew what Zhou Shu wanted to do.
"You haven't given up?" Shi Changsheng said. "It's hopeless. As you said, the human race doesn't even have martial artists above the first rank of the Martial Dao, but there are Demon Kings in the Demon Realm.
"I told you that if you encounter a Demon King, you only have a thirty percent chance of escaping unscathed with the Longevity Sword.
"You can't imagine how powerful Demon Kings are right now.
"A Demon King can easily destroy an army of less than a hundred thousand if he wants to.
"In my opinion, everyone is seeking survival. As long as there's life, there's hope. At worst, when you become stronger in the future, you can avenge them. This is the wisest choice."
"How I choose is my business," Zhou Shu said in a low voice. "Old Shi, you only need to tell me what the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations is. What is the barrier between the two worlds?"
"Why don't you listen to reason?" Shi Changsheng said. "The Longevity Sword is in your hands. We are one. How can I harm you?
"Even if you find out how the Demon Realm is related to your so-called Ten Nations continent, what can you do?"
Shi Changsheng looked disappointed. "Fine, I'll tell you. The Demon Realm and the Ten Nations are one. The barrier between them is indeed man-made, but is it useful?
"You can't change the fact that demons want to kill humans. Your strength alone can't protect this human army.
"In all my years, young man, I've seen far more than you have. Take my advice. The best way is for you to stay useful and avenge them later."
"The Demon Realm and the Ten Nations are actually the same world?" Zhou Shu ignored Shi Changsheng's persuasion and pondered. "The barrier between the two worlds is man-made. Is it related to the thirty-six grotto-heavens?
"The Zhuling Grotto-Heaven is one of them. Are there other grotto-heavens in the barrier between the two worlds?
"If we can find other grotto-heavens, can we use them to return to the Ten Nations?"
Zhou Shu looked straight at Shi Changsheng and asked multiple questions continuously.
He knew that the barrier between the two worlds had already cracked because of the destruction of the imperial cauldron.
But it was impossible to know where the crack was or how many people could pass through it.
Moreover, the Demon Realm must have already controlled such an obvious existence. They might not have a chance to pass.
"You're letting your imagination run wild." Shi Changsheng shook his head. "But you're wrong. The barrier between the two worlds has nothing to do with the grotto-heavens. The Zhuling Grotto-Heaven connecting the two worlds is just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with the barrier itself."
"Half!" Zhou Shu suddenly interrupted Shi Changsheng.
"What half?" Shi Changsheng was stunned.
"As long as you help me, whether I succeed or not, from now on, half of the forging materials will be yours!
"If I'm not mistaken, you, or the Longevity Sword, either failed the forging or is flawed. In short, you need to devour a large amount of forging materials to repair and perfect yourself.
"If you help me find other grotto-heavens, I promise you that I will do my best to help you find the forging materials you need.
"You should understand that I have the ability to do so!"
Shi Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face revealed a struggle.
He should have decisively refused, but Zhou Shu was offering him too much!
Over the past few days, Shi Changsheng had carefully observed that Zhou Shu's identity was indeed as he had said. He was the king of three nations, the number one person in the Ten Nations, and the number one forger in the world…
These identities guaranteed that Zhou Shu could do what he promised him.
He did need a lot of forging materials, and in his current form, he did need to rely on a strong person.
But…
Shi Changsheng struggled for a moment and said with some heartache, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but it's useless.
"Let's not talk about whether those grotto-heavens still exist. Even if they do, it won't be so easy to find them.
"The situation in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven is relatively special, but it doesn't mean that every grotto-heaven is like this. A grotto-heaven is the personal property of the master of the grotto-heaven. Even back then, I only entered a few grotto-heavens, let alone now.
"I think most of the grotto-heavens back then have already been destroyed like the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. If the master of a grotto-heaven dies, generally speaking, the grotto-heaven won't exist for long."
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng. He didn't seem to be lying.
He had already made such an offer, but he still refused. Could it be that the grotto-heaven really had nothing to do with the barrier between the two worlds?
Or was there more to it?
No matter what, it seemed impossible to seek more information from Shi Changsheng.
Then, I'll have to think of something else.
Zhou Shu frowned. If possible, he really didn't want to use that method.
The Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique!
The Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique was almost the most magical divine ability Zhou Shu had mastered. But every time he used it, he would feel like he was dying.
Experiencing another person's life in a dream sounded wonderful, but in reality, it was a great challenge for the experiencer.
Just the change of identity was enough to cause a mental breakdown.
Even though Zhou Shu cultivated the Visualization of the Five Mountains' True Form and his mental strength was extraordinary, the process was still extremely uncomfortable for him.
Zhou Shu's gaze swept across Shi Changsheng. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to use the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique to enter the dream of an object. Otherwise, he might be able to learn many secrets.
Shi Changsheng had lived for countless years.
Now, he could only hope that the dead Great Demon Yao Lian had a high status in the Demon Realm and knew more secrets. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his hard work!
