Legendary Armament Canon

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!
