Chapter 495: Raiding the Demon King, Tricking Even the Sword (1)

"It's changed. The Armament Manual has changed!"

In the forging room of the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch, Li Chengliang shouted without any restraint.

"What changed?" another Grand Craftsman asked in confusion. The other forgers all turned their heads and looked at Li Chengliang.

"There are two more weapons in the Connate Armament Manual!"

Li Chengliang activated his spiritual essence and injected it into the Heavenly Mirror in his hand. A light screen was projected.

It was the Connate Armament Manual!

The Connate Armament Manual, which originally only had two weapons, now had four.

First, Ming Hong Saber.

Second, Longevity Sword.

Third, Kun Wu Saber.

Fourth, Crimson Firmament Sword.

The first in the Connate Armament Manual had become a saber they had never heard of!

"The Crimson Firmament Sword forged by His Highness has fallen to fourth place," someone whispered in the background.

"Fourth is pretty good too," an experienced Grand Craftsman said. "We might not even be able to forge a weapon ranked in the top one hundred of the Acquired Armament Manual. It's ranked fourth in the Connate Armament Manual.

"If one day I can forge a weapon ranked fourth in the Connate Armament Manual, I can die in peace." The Grand Craftsman sighed.

"That's true." All the forgers nodded.

"But tell me, which forger forged the Ming Hong Saber and Kun Wu Saber?" Li Chengliang pondered. "Could it be a legendary Divine Craftsmen?"

"Others might not know, but don't you know, Grand Craftsman Li?" A Grand Craftsman shook his head. "Divine Craftsman is just an honorary title. Their forging skills might not be much better than ours. I'm afraid they're still not strong enough to forge connate weapons."

There was a saying in the Ten Nations that there were Divine Craftsmen, but the so-called Divine Craftsmen now were just some of the more senior Grand Craftsmen. There was no essential difference between their skills and those of Grand Craftsmen.

Li Chengliang and the others didn't believe Divine Craftsmen could forge connate weapons. If anyone in the Ten Nations could forge connate weapons, they would have done so long ago.

"Anyway, His Highness's record should have been broken…" a Forging Master said weakly.

Ever since Zhou Shu started forging, he had dominated the rankings for whatever level of weapon he could forge.

He had always been the one to drive other weapons down from first place in the Armament Manual. This was the first time he had fallen from first place.

"Says who?" Shi Songtao's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"The pavilion master's forging skills are unparalleled!" Shi Songtao said proudly. "Let me tell you. The Ming Hong Saber was also personally forged by the pavilion master!"

"What?" The forgers were in an uproar. "Your Highness hasn't forged anything recently."

"His Highness doesn't need a furnace to forge. He can forge at any time. Does he need to answer to you?" Shi Songtao said. "There's a mission now. His Highness needs a few people to help. Grand Craftsman Li, pick a few people who have a deeper understanding of forging materials."

"I'll do it!"

"Me!"

Before Shi Songtao finished speaking, the forgers had already raised their hands and shouted.

It was definitely a good thing to be able to help the king.

It had only been a few days, but the king had already forged another connate weapon. If they could witness him forging a connate weapon, it would be a fortune for three lifetimes!

At the exit of the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch, Zhou Shu, Lu Wenshuang, and Mi Ziwen were all standing here.

Xiao Jianghe, Mei Wushang, Wang Xin, Chen Ji, Yin Chengshan, Sun Gongping, and other senior workers were also present.

Apart from Yin Wuyou and Yang Hong, who weren't in the camp, these people were all the owners of ranked weapons Zhou Shu had forged. If not for the fact that Meng Bai wasn't suitable, Zhou Shu would have even called him along.

This operation wasn't very dangerous. Zhou Shu was creating an opportunity for his workers to contribute.

After all, they were all his employees. He couldn't forget his own people when there were benefits.

"A few forgers will come later. Each of you will be responsible for bringing one," Zhou Shu said. "Work together in pairs. Try your best to choose something valuable to take!

"Remember, our time is limited. We can't take everything away. The forgers are in charge of screening, and you are in charge of taking everything. When the time is up, we will immediately retreat!"

Demon Queen Tushan had set up many traps in her secret base.

Even if Lu Wenshuang could easily bring them in, as long as they moved the things inside, they would definitely attract the attention of Tushan.

In half an hour, Tushan would arrive at the base.

Zhou Shu didn't have the confidence to win against her, so he didn't want to fight her to the death now.

He would use her things to strengthen the Ten Nations Alliance. When he was stronger and could crush Demon Queen Tushan, he would kill her.

This was the solution in his mind.

As he spoke, Shi Songtao returned with a few forgers.

According to Zhou Shu's instructions, Sun Gongping, Xiao Jianghe, and the others formed a small team with a forger each. Then everyone quietly left the camp.

There were high and low cultivation levels in this group. There was naturally no need to say anything about Zhou Shu. Lu Wenshuang and Xiao Jianghe were first-rank martial artists, Mi Ziwen and Wang Xin were second-rank martial artists, and Sun Gongping, Mei Wushang, Chen Ji, and Yin Chengshan were slightly weaker. The weakest were fourth-rank martial artists.

It had to be said that although war was cruel, it was also an opportunity for individuals to grow rapidly.

When Sun Gongping, Mei Wushang, Chen Ji, and Yin Chengshan entered the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, their cultivation levels were generally between the sixth and seventh ranks. In just a few months, their cultivation levels had risen like a rocket to the fourth rank.

Although it was incomparable to some geniuses, their speed of improvement was already very fast.

In the Ten Nations, it was impossible to cultivate from the seventh rank to the fourth rank without decades of hard work.

It was even more likely that people wouldn't be able to cultivate to the fourth rank of the Martial Dao in their entire life!

Apart from the tempering of the war, it was also thanks to Zhou Shu's Essence Cleansing Pill that their cultivation levels could increase so quickly.

Everyone was full of energy to help Zhou Shu!

With Zhou Shu leading the way, the group quickly traveled through the forest, not worried about encountering demonic beasts.

In everyone's hearts, Zhou Shu was already a god-like existence. As long as he was around, there was no need to worry about demonic beasts.

After they traveled at full speed for several days, Lu Wenshuang waved her hand and nodded at Zhou Shu.

Everyone stopped in unison and looked around immediately in a vigilant posture.

"Everyone, relax. There's no need to be nervous. There are no demonic beasts nearby." Zhou Shu smiled. He had already grasped the situation around him with his divine sense.

Demon Queen Tushan had a paranoid personality. The secret base she had built for herself was deserted within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. It was even more secretive than the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch.

If Lu Wenshuang hadn't entered the dream and found out about this place, they wouldn't have been able to find this place even if she told them that Tushan had a secret base.

"Everyone, follow me closely. You can't make a single mistake. Otherwise, you will fall into the Tushan's bewitching array, and it will be difficult to escape," Lu Wenshuang said with a serious expression.

Everyone nodded.

Lu Wenshuang took a deep breath and took a step forward.

She jumped left and right, suddenly forward and back. She had been on the left a moment ago, but she was suddenly on the right again.

In short, all the steps were irregular.

Everyone watched intently, silently remembering.

Lu Wenshuang jumped for a hundred steps before her figure suddenly disappeared into the air.

Mi Ziwen's expression changed slightly. Back then, his Hundred Wars Armored Army had disappeared under the Weapon Burial Mountain just like this. Now, it seemed that it was indeed Demon Queen Tushan who did it!

"Do you remember everything? Then, let's do it one by one," Zhou Shu said solemnly.

Without hesitation, everyone jumped up according to Lu Wenshuang's footwork.

The group of men jumped left and right, but they were not as graceful as Lu Wenshuang.

Fortunately, no one made a mistake. After everyone disappeared, Zhou Shu took action.

A moment later, he felt the scenery in front of him change. He saw Lu Wenshuang and the others again.

"Tushan's bewitching array is really interesting." Zhou Shu looked back in admiration.

There seemed to be a layer of thick fog lingering behind him, and he couldn't see where he came from. In front of him was an incomparably gigantic cave. There were all kinds of treasures—gold, silver, jade, heaven and earth treasures… There were too many to list.

This was the life savings of a demon king.

"What are you waiting for? Get moving!" Zhou Shu shouted. "Take as much as you can. Choose the valuable ones!"

Before coming here, each of them had taken several Cosmic Bangles with them. But even so, it was unrealistic to take away everything here. There were too many things here!

If not for the fact that Zhou Shu didn't want to fight Demon Queen Tushan to the death in advance, he would have led the army here.

Now, he could only choose the precious treasures and take as much as he could.

Mi Ziwen, Xiao Jianghe, and the others were also breathing heavily. They pounced in front of these things and began to crazily gather them into the Cosmic Bangles.

"Little Lu, have you learned Tushan's bewitching array?" Zhou Shu asked Lu Wenshuang as he collected the things.

The bewitching array at the entrance of the cave was so natural that even he couldn't see through it. If he could learn it and create such a bewitching array at the entrance of the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch, the effect would be great.

"No," Lu Wenshuang said without looking up. "It's the innate divine power of Tushan. We humans can't learn it."

"Oh." Zhou Shu was a little disappointed. It had to be said that demonic beasts were truly blessed by the heavens compared to humans. They had innate divine powers, while humans needed to use weapons to fight demonic beasts.

In other words, being able to use weapons should be considered humanity's innate divine power.

Various noises echoed in the cave. The eyes of Shi Songtao, Li Chengliang, the forgers, and the others who came turned green. They pointed at the same thing and shouted.

"Put this away! Take them all. Leave nothing behind!"

"Don't take that. It's trash!"

"Why do you want that stupid thing?! Gold? Is gold useful? Do you know what this is? Gold is shit compared to this!"

All the forgers went mad. Even on the battlefield of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, they had never seen so much good stuff.

A demon king who had lived for thousands of years and liked to collect things, her collection was far richer than anyone could imagine.

We're rich!

This was the only thought in everyone's mind.

They didn't care about the gold that was everywhere now!

The space in Cosmic Bangles was limited, so they could only select those that were more valuable!

Zhou Shu suddenly frowned.

"Speed up! Tushan has discovered us!"

Zhou Shu looked up in a direction. Although the bewitching array blocked his vision, he could still feel a powerful aura filled with anger rapidly approaching.

Demon Queen Tushan had arrived faster than he had expected!

Indeed, one couldn't underestimate any demon king!

"There's still some time. Grab the precious items!" Zhou Shu raised his hand and beckoned. The heaven and earth treasures on the ground were swept up by a gust of wind and landed inside his Cosmic Bangle.

There were too many things here, so many that even though everyone had already taken a lot, there were still countless things in the cave.

Suddenly, Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat. The next moment, he waved his hand, and a gray sword appeared in the air.

Longevity Sword!

When he had fought his way into the Demon Realm from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, the Longevity Sword had helped him resist the attacks of more than a hundred first-rank demonic beasts, and then it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Now, Zhou Shu felt it erupt with intense hunger.

Seeing that Demon Queen Tushan was about to arrive, no matter how much they took, they wouldn't be able to take all these things. Instead of leaving them to her, it was better to let the Longevity Sword benefit.

"Elder Shi, when you attacked earlier, I promised to let you eat your fill. Now, eat freely," Zhou Shu said to the Longevity Sword.

The Longevity Sword let out a clang and flew into the mountain of heaven and earth treasures with a whoosh.

Boom!

The Longevity Sword seemed to turn into a black hole. Countless forging materials surged toward it crazily and fused into its blade.

The gray body of the Longevity Sword began to glow faintly.

"Ignore it. You guys deal with yours! There's still two hundred seconds!" Zhou Shu shouted.

Lu Wenshuang, Mi Ziwen, and the others returned to their senses. They stopped looking at the Longevity Sword and continued collecting treasures.

Two hundred seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Shu glanced at the Longevity Sword that was still absorbing crazily and said in a low voice, "Stop. Retreat first!"

"Second Brother, you—"

"I'll catch up. We cleared the way we came. It should be safe. Don't worry about anything. Just get back to camp as soon as you can," Zhou Shu said.

Mi Ziwen and the others knew how serious the situation was. They reluctantly looked at the many heaven and earth treasures and gritted their teeth. They followed Lu Wenshuang out of the cave and ran along the path they had come.

They had just left when a monstrous aura descended from the sky.

"Whoever you are, I will make you regret being born into this world!" Demon Queen Tushan's voice containing boundless killing intent sounded in Zhou Shu's ears.

Zhou Shu sneered. He moved and activated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. His body suddenly shrank, and he disappeared into a crack in a stone.

After cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, one could roam the world freely!

The Longevity Sword in the air was suddenly stunned. Then the sword trembled as if it was angry.

Boom!

At this moment, Demon Queen Tushan had already rushed into the cave with monstrous killing intent.

Boom!

Demon Queen Tushan rushed into the cave and immediately saw that only a small part of what she had collected for thousands of years was left. She was instantly overwhelmed by anger.

"It's you!" Her gaze fell on the Longevity Sword in time to see it swallow the last piece of forging material, like a person swallowing something in their mouth.

Tushan's eyes spewed fire, and her killing intent was almost tangible.

The Longevity Sword trembled. If it could speak, it would definitely curse.

Oh my god, that bastard surnamed Zhou…?

I've never seen anyone trick a sword!

I thought these forging materials were my reward?

Demoness, if I say that I have nothing to do with this, will you believe me?

"Bastard! Spit out what's mine!" Tushan shouted angrily and smacked the Longevity Sword.

The Demon Queen attacked furiously. With a palm strike, it was as if the world had collapsed. The air in a radius of dozens of feet seemed to be compressed into a physical body.

The Longevity Sword let out a cracking sound.

Clang!

The Longevity Sword shone brightly and slashed at Demon Queen Tushan's palm. He had no choice but to counterattack. If he didn't, he would really be broken by her!

Swish—

An air-piercing sound rang out as countless sword beams crisscrossed.

The sword beams scattered in all directions, and for a moment, countless heaven and earth treasures were pulverized by the sword beams.

Demon Queen Tushan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Her lungs were about to explode from anger. How dare this sword destroy her things in front of her? It was simply unforgivable!

Tushan unleashed a powerful divine power and pressed down on the Longevity Sword again.

The Longevity Sword let out a sad cry. He had been wronged.

He had only eaten a little. Most of the things had been taken away by Zhou Shu. If you have the ability, go after him.

What kind of hero takes it out on a sword?

Shi Changsheng had already woken up. But in front of a Demon King, he had some reservations and didn't dare to appear casually. He could only hide in the Longevity Sword and constantly dodge the attacks of Tushan.

Back then, he wouldn't be afraid of a mere Demon King. But now, he had yet to succeed in fusing his body with the sword. Facing a Demon King, his strength was still insufficient…

Swoosh—

The sound of sword qi tearing through the air continuously sounded, and Demon Queen Tushan's anger grew stronger and stronger.

A broken sword was actually crawling around like a rat!

The point was, it had swallowed so much good stuff!

If it escapes, I, Tushan, will lose face!

Demon Queen Tushan was furious. A ball of light suddenly exploded from her body, and the entire cave was instantly enveloped by light.

Shi Changsheng cursed inwardly. The Longevity Sword shone brightly and suddenly slashed forward. A sharp sword beam seemed to want to split a mountain apart.

But when such a sharp sword beam landed on the light, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, not causing any waves.

"Let's see how you can turn the world upside down in my territory!" Tushan's murderous voice sounded.

Shi Changsheng snorted in the Longevity Sword.?It's just the prototype of a grotto-heaven. Back then, I could suppress you with one hand!

Even a shrimp dares to dupe the dragon when it is in the shallow water; a tiger may even be teased by a dog when it leaves the remote mountains and comes to the bright and flat?area1!

He hated that kid surnamed Zhou for being immoral!

I helped you so much, but you betrayed me!

The Longevity Sword trembled violently, and a powerful aura began to condense on the sword.

Although it was only the embryonic form of a grotto-heaven, if he didn't use his trump card, he would probably not be able to escape today.

Shi Changsheng gritted his teeth.?Damn it. I've just swallowed so many heaven and earth treasures for nothing!

Boom!

Just as Shi Changsheng was brewing, a loud bang suddenly sounded. A huge hole suddenly exploded in the white light filling the entire cave.

"Let's go, Elder Shi!" Zhou Shu's voice suddenly sounded in Shi Changsheng's ear.

Clang!?The Longevity Sword let out a clang.

"Brat Zhou, I forgive you!" Shi Changsheng said in Zhou Shu's consciousness. The Longevity Sword turned into a stream of light and entered the huge hole.

"You want to leave? In your dreams!" Demon Queen Tushan roared angrily. She raised her hand, and the white light covered the Longevity Sword like a net.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Longevity Sword.

In an instant, the Longevity Sword shone brightly. An indescribable sword beam split the heavens and earth, forcefully cutting a crack in the white light. Then the Longevity Sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Boom!

Tushan descended from the sky, her face cold.

She gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "I've memorized your scent. Even if you flee to the ends of the world, I'll find you!"

She was shouting at the Longevity Sword. As for the owner of the hand, she didn't sense his aura at all!

…

"Elder Shi, aren't you the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven?"

At an unknown distance from the secret base of Demon Queen Tushan, a figure flashed. Beside him, a long sword automatically floated.

It was Zhou Shu and the Longevity Sword.

"The master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven shouldn't be inferior to a Demon King, right? How can you not be Demon Queen Tushan's match?" Zhou Shu asked curiously.

The Longevity Sword trembled and almost fell from the sky.

With a flash of light, an image of an old Daoist priest appeared on the body of the Longevity Sword.

In front of Tushan, Shi Changsheng had some reservations and didn't appear. But in front of Zhou Shu, he had no reservations.

Chapter 498: Heavenly Hub Armory (2)

The palm-sized old Daoist priest sat cross-legged on the Longevity Sword as if he was flying on the sword. He rolled his eyes at Zhou Shu.

"Back then, I could suppress her with one hand." Shi Changsheng snorted coldly. "She's just a Demon King who has only cultivated the embryonic form of a grotto-heaven. Back then, she wasn't even qualified to be my opponent."

"Is that so?" Zhou Shu said disdainfully. "Elder Shi, a hero is silent about his past glories. You were almost captured alive just now."

"Aren't you the one who got me into trouble, kid?" Shi Changsheng said angrily. "We agreed that I would help you deal with demonic beasts, and you would give me forging materials. Is this how you treat me?"

"I gave you forging materials," Zhou Shu said. "Would you have been able to find Tushan's secret base if I didn't take you there?

"If I hadn't left those things for you, I would have had the people ransack the place long ago. Were they not from me?"

Shi Changsheng: "…"

You have a damn good point. I don't even know how to argue with that.

"Even so, can't you take me with you when you escape?" Shi Changsheng said in a muffled voice.

"How would I know that you couldn't escape, Elder Shi?" Zhou Shu shrugged innocently. "No matter what, you're the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Wouldn't it be easy for you to escape from a Demon King?

"Who would have thought that you, Elder Shi…"

Zhou Shu shook his head and sighed, as if he was very disappointed in Immortal Shi.

Shi Changsheng was speechless.?Why does it feel like I'm in the wrong?

I was almost trapped by the embryonic form of a grotto-heaven of a Demon King because I, Shi Changsheng, am not capable enough?

If it weren't for you, would I need to face a Demon Ding?

"I saw that you couldn't escape, so I immediately came back to save you," Zhou Shu continued. "I'm generous, right? That's a Demon King. If anything had gone wrong, I would have died!"

Zhou Shu said with a serious expression, "Elder Shi, I took a huge risk to save you. As the saying goes, a son of a wealthy family does not sit right under the?eaves1. No matter what, I'm a person of status. If I didn't treat you as one of my own, why would I take such a risk?"

Shi Changsheng: "…"

You've said all the right things. What else can I say?

"Elder Shi, the territory Tushan mentioned is the embryonic form of a grotto-heaven?" Zhou Shu continued. "Does that mean that if her so-called territory continues to develop, it will become an existence like the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven?"

"Of course," Shi Changsheng said. "But she's still a long way from getting there.

"She has only just stepped into the Grotto-Heaven realm. Back then, I was at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm," Shi Changsheng said proudly. "Even in our era, there were only thirty-six peak Grotto-Heaven realm cultivators."

Zhou Shu was deep in thought. According to the information he had obtained when he entered the Great Demon Yao Lian's dream, although Demon Queen Tushan was considered a relatively weaker Demon King in the Demon Realm, the difference between her and the top Demon Kings was not too great.

According to Shi Changsheng, there might not be a peak Grotto-Heaven realm in the entire Demon Realm.

Even now, Zhou Shu still didn't know what the so-called Grotto-Heaven realm meant. Had she evolved a grotto-heaven like the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven?

Zhou Shu felt incredulous just thinking about it.

"Elder Shi, how long do you think it will take for Tushan to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm?" Zhou Shu pondered.

Fortunately, Demon Queen Tushan had yet to cultivate a grotto-heaven. Otherwise, she would have been able to store all the treasures she had collected in her grotto-heaven.

In that case, it would have been impossible for Zhou Shu to rob her.

"How long?" Shi Changsheng sneered. "She might not be able to cultivate it in her entire life!

"Didn't I tell you? Even back then, there were only thirty-six true Grotto-Heaven masters. It's not that easy to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm.

"I'll bet that Tushan won't be able to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm until her death!"

"Great. What do you want to wager?" Zhou Shu said casually.

Shi Changsheng: "…"

It's just a casual remark. Are you really thinking of betting?

Zhou Shu only said it casually and didn't take it seriously.

He continued, "Elder Shi, you said that there were only thirty-six experts at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm back then. Then, the thirty-six of you should be very familiar with each other, right?"

"Of course. I know the other thirty-five old things pretty well," Shi Changsheng said. "I used to freeload from them from time to time."

"Then, are you familiar with the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?" Zhou Shu asked. "Do they have an armory?"

"The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?" Shi Changsheng was slightly taken aback. "Why are you asking about it? It was already in pieces before I fell into a deep sleep. You're not thinking of finding the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain's armory, are you?

"Let me tell you. Don't even think about it." Shi Changsheng pursed his lips. "That surnamed Diao is a ruthless character. He's probably already destroyed the armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain."

"Elder Shi, you're wrong about that." Zhou Shu shook his head. "As far as I know, Tushan found the armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain."

"How is that possible?" Shi Changsheng frowned.

"Absolutely," Zhou Shu said. "Although she isn't as powerful as you, Elder Shi, I don't think she would be mistaken. That's why I think that the armory is probably real."

Shi Changsheng frowned and thought for a moment. "Even if the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain's armory still exists, it's useless. It's not that easy to open the armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Unless you have a token, even an existence like a Grotto-Heaven master can only destroy the armory. It's difficult to obtain the things in it."

"A token?" Zhou Shu pondered. "Kun Wu Saber?"

"You even know about Kun Wu Saber?" Shi Changsheng glanced at Zhou Shu in surprise. "It seems that what you said is true."

"Of course. Why would I lie to you about such a thing?"

"There's more than one key to the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain's armory. The Kun Wu Saber is one of them," Shi Changsheng said. "With the Kun Wu Saber in hand, you can indeed enter the armory, but it's not certain which floors you can reach."

"Which floors?" Zhou Shu was puzzled.

"You don't know that," Shi Changsheng said triumphantly. "The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, also known as the Heavenly Hub Armory, is itself a peerless divine weapon.

"There are a total of nine floors in the Heavenly Hub Armory. There are countless weapons and heaven and earth treasures hidden on every floor. The treasures on each floor are more precious than the other."

"Heavenly Hub Armory?" Zhou Shu pondered. "Elder Shi, if the Longevity Sword is placed in the Heavenly Hub Armory, what floor would it be placed on?"

"What do you think?" Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes. "Of course it's the ninth floor! Do you think my Longevity Sword is an ordinary weapon?"

"I see." Zhou Shu immediately lost much interest in the Heavenly Hub Armory.

The ninth floor only contained weapons at the Longevity Sword's level. If he wanted such a weapon, he could forge one himself. There was no need to spend so much effort to obtain the Heavenly Hub Armory!

In this world, just because something was older didn't mean it was better. Zhou Shu looked down on weapons forged by others.

"What's with your expression?" Shi Changsheng looked at Zhou Shu unhappily. "Do you think the Longevity Sword isn't qualified to be placed on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Hub Armory?"

"Of course not. I just think that the Heavenly Hub Armory is so-so." Zhou Shu shook his head. "If it only has weapons inside, I won't bother to fight with Tushan. If it's just connate weapons, I can forge them myself."

Shi Changsheng was silent for a moment before saying, "Kid, do you know you're crazy? Do you know that it is impossible to find another weapon on par with the Longevity Sword in this world…"

Before he could say more than two sentences, Shi Changsheng heard a clang, and he couldn't say the words on the tip of his tongue.
