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.
