Zhang Chunlin led the hundred human captives and busied themselves in the hollowed-out mountainside.
He didn’t know if it was luck or something else, but there were more than ten Forging Masters among the hundred people!
Zhou Shu was pleasantly surprised.
Zhou Shu made Zhang Chunlin and the others responsible for transporting the forging materials.
As for him, he devoted himself to forging.
That’s right. Zhou Shu was going to use the method of forging weapons to forge the so-called Demon King Palace as a weapon!
He had thought about it carefully. If he used a poorly constructed palace to fool Hu Li, it might be possible.
But it would be a huge problem to bring the materials back to the camp.
The space in his Cosmic Bangle was very limited. It couldn’t contain the massive amount of forging materials he had swindled from the various Great Demons.
But if he gave up on these forging materials, his heart would ache for hundreds of years.
Therefore, he changed his mind. Since it was difficult to take away these forging materials, he might as well use them all.
If he forged the Demon King Palace into a peerless divine weapon, these forging materials wouldn’t be wasted.
At that time, he would just run away with the Demon King Palace and let Demon King Hu Li’s efforts go to waste. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
But this was just a thought. Forging the Demon King Palace as a divine weapon was not a simple task. Zhou Shu was not sure if it would work.
Buzz—
Just as Zhou Shu was trying to design the blueprint, the Longevity Sword suddenly appeared in the air.
Shi Changsheng’s figure appeared on the sword and laughed.
“I’m a Grotto-Heaven realm expert. You want to trap me in a small space? How about it? I’ve escaped, right?”
He looked pleased with himself.
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. He had stored the Longevity Sword in his Cosmic Bangle. Shi Changsheng could actually freely enter and exit the Cosmic Bangle? A Grotto-Heaven realm expert at their peak was really not an exaggeration.
He was a little shocked, but he didn’t show it on his face. He only glanced at Shi Changsheng before lowering his head and starting to work.
His reaction made Shi Changsheng’s smugness lose its audience. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in disappointment.?How boring!
The Longevity Sword slipped around and suddenly stopped on Zhou Shu’s blueprint.
Shi Changsheng rubbed his chin and looked thoughtfully at Zhou Shu’s hands.
After a moment, he suddenly said, “Brat, are you trying to forge a Heavenly Hub Armory?”
“The Heavenly Hub Armory? What do you mean?” Zhou Shu said without looking up.
He had heard from Shi Changsheng that the Heavenly Hub Armory was the armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. It was used to store precious items and various divine weapons.
Demon Queen Tushan had schemed for the Heavenly Hub Armory. He wondered if she had entered it yet.
Zhou Shu wasn’t too interested in the Heavenly Hub Armory. Putting aside how he could enter it, even if he spent the effort, who knew what was inside?
Zhou Shu didn’t care about divine weapons now. He could forge connate divine weapons himself. As long as he had enough time and materials, he could forge as many connate divine weapons as he wanted.
“Aren’t you intending to forge this palace as a connate divine weapon? Isn’t that the Heavenly Hub Armory? Do you think I don’t understand?” Shi Changsheng said disdainfully. “Let me tell you. I helped a lot with the design of the Heavenly Hub Armory.”
“Oh? Elder Shi, you helped design the Heavenly Hub Armory?” Zhou Shu looked up at Shi Changsheng.
The Heavenly Hub Armory was a divine weapon. Zhou Shu had heard Shi Changsheng mention this before. He just didn’t expect that Shi Changsheng had been part of its forging process.
“I was one of the most powerful forgers in the world back then,” Shi Changsheng said proudly. “You didn’t expect it, did you?
“If you want to forge a Heavenly Hub Armory, ask me. I know every step of the way.”
Shi Changsheng held his head high, looking like he would tell him if he begged him.
“There are indeed some things that I can’t figure out. Please enlighten me, Elder Shi.” Zhou Shu cupped his hands nonchalantly.
“Forget it. I’m a magnanimous person. I won’t take into account your rudeness.” Shi Changsheng waved his hand.
“Elder Shi, you are benevolent.” Zhou Shu gave him face.
“Of course. Zhou Shu, I treat you well enough. Don’t forget me if you get any benefits in the future,” Shi Changsheng said.
Zhou Shu smiled as Shi Changsheng continued.
“Back then, when the one with the surname Diao and I designed the Heavenly Hub Armory together, we originally designed it according to the specifications of the Trayastrimsa Heaven. However, we didn’t succeed in the end. So the Heavenly Hub Armory ended up with only nine floors, which is the nine heavens.”
“The difference between the nine heavens and the thirty-three heavens is too great,” Zhou Shu said.
“What do you know!” Shi Changsheng said angrily. “If you follow my design, you will definitely be able to cast the thirty-three heavens. That surnamed Diao didn’t listen to me and was stubborn. It’s only natural for him to fail!
“Young fellow, if you listen to me, you will definitely succeed.”
Shi Changsheng became a little excited. “If you can really forge the thirty-three heavens, when you break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, you can directly fuse the thirty-three heavens with your grotto-heaven. Then, I can guarantee that you will definitely be the strongest Grotto-Heaven realm expert in the world!”
The more Shi Changsheng spoke, the more excited he became. Looking at him, it was as if he wanted to roll up his sleeves and forge it himself.
Zhou Shu didn’t comment. “Elder Shi, when you forged the Heavenly Hub Armory, you were already a Grotto-Heaven realm expert, right?”
“Of course,” Shi Changsheng said.
“Even a Grotto-Heaven realm expert failed. How can I have the ability to forge the thirty-three heavens?” Zhou Shu said. “I just want to forge a palace. At most, it can be considered one heaven.”
“You…” Shi Changsheng looked disappointed. “Don’t you want to be the most powerful person in the world?”
“Not really,” Zhou Shu said bluntly.
Shi Changsheng: “…”
“Young fellow, there are many benefits to becoming the number one expert in the world. At that time, you will get to all the good things in the world first. All the beauties will be at your disposal…
“If you really become the most powerful person in the world, I can also benefit a little…”
“I’m not interested,” Zhou Shu said.?That last sentence was your goal.
Zhou Shu knew that the Longevity Sword needed to devour a large number of forging materials to perfect itself. Perhaps this was also why Shi Changsheng had always stayed by Zhou Shu’s side.
Zhou Shu didn’t mind that Shi Changsheng had his own plans. They were just using each other. Weren’t adult relationships just about exchanging benefits?
“Elder Shi, I have a few questions. Look here…” Zhou Shu interrupted Shi Changsheng and began to ask him about the problems he had encountered when designing the Demon King Palace.
Although Shi Changsheng felt a little helpless, he still answered Zhou Shu’s question.
Shi Changsheng wasn’t bragging. He was indeed very familiar with how to forge a palace into a peerless divine weapon. With just one sentence, he solved Zhou Shu’s doubts.
Zhou Shu also discovered that Shi Changsheng’s forging technique was far more profound and exquisite than the current forgers of the Ten Nations. Perhaps this was because the forging techniques had been lost, or perhaps Shi Changsheng’s level was much higher than the current Grand Craftsmen.
This was the first time Zhou Shu had met someone who knew as much about forging materials as he did. Usually, even Grand Craftsmen were far inferior to Zhou Shu in terms of proficiency with forging materials.
As the two of them discussed, a forging plan gradually took shape in Zhou Shu’s mind.
Just as he comprehended the forging method of the Demon King Palace, a light suddenly flashed in front of him. The Legendary Armament Canon that had been silent for a long time automatically appeared in front of him.
A blank page appeared in front of Zhou Shu.
On the blank page, a grand palace appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Three words gradually appeared on the plaque in the place. When he saw them, Zhou Shu was stunned.
