Chapter 553: Crossing the Wall, The Longevity Sword’s Shock (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Shu’s plan was to use the replica imperial cauldron to sneak into the third level of the Heavenly Hub Armory.
This was also why Zhou Shu and Shi Changsheng had different thoughts. Shi Changsheng’s first thought was to get a key. Zhou Shu wanted to cross the wall directly!
Seeing that Zhou Shu didn’t listen to his advice, Shi Changsheng muttered, “You’ll suffer if you don’t listen to the old man.”
The Longevity Sword circled around Zhou Shu before sneakily flying into the distance.
Lu Wenshuang noticed the movements of the Longevity Sword, but she didn’t know what was going on with it. She thought that Zhou Shu was controlling it, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
As for Zhou Shu, he couldn’t be bothered with Shi Changsheng’s thoughts. Needless to say, he had secretly gone to find forging materials in the second heaven.
The Longevity Sword had to devour a large number of forging materials from time to time. It was a rare opportunity for Shi Changsheng to enter the Heavenly Hub Armory. He wouldn’t miss this chance.
Zhou Shu went all out with his Iron Smelting Hands Technique. The various forging materials that had already been preliminarily processed jumped and fused between Zhou Shu’s hands as if they were alive.
Although Zhou Shu had always said that he wouldn’t help Emperor Wei Wu forge this replica imperial cauldron, after he obtained the secret forging formula, he had kept deducing it in his mind.
It wasn’t that he’d expected this day to come. It was the instinct of a forger.
After seeing new forging formulas, he always habitually studied them thoroughly.
It was precisely because of this that he was now able to forge it with ease. It didn’t seem like this was the first time he had forged this replica imperial cauldron.
Unfortunately, in the second level of the Heavenly Hub Armory, the only audience was Lu Wenshuang.
Lu Wenshuang didn’t know anything about forging, so she couldn’t tell how perfect Zhou Shu’s forging movements were. She only felt that her master was really handsome…
After thinking about it, she inwardly spat.?When did I become as infatuated as Wuyou?
As Lu Wenshuang’s thoughts ran wild, the outline of a small cauldron gradually appeared between Zhou Shu’s hands.
This replica imperial cauldron was not a connate divine weapon, so it wasn’t difficult for Zhou Shu to forge it.
Moreover, since the forging materials on him had been processed by Zhang Chunlin and the others, he used them conveniently.
Therefore, in just a few days, before the Longevity Sword returned from consuming the forging materials, the forging of the replica imperial cauldron was already coming to an end.
Buzz—
Lu Wenshuang heard a soft sound, and then she saw a ball of light erupt between Zhou Shu’s hands.
The newly formed replica imperial cauldron actually exploded.
Lu Wenshuang was stunned. Did he fail?
She had heard before that there was a danger of furnaces exploding when a forger was forging. If the materials were not well-coordinated, it could cause an explosion that would result in the forging to fail.
Now, the weapon between Zhou Shu’s hands had exploded, just like the furnaces she had heard about in the past.
Lu Wenshuang was a little stunned. In the past, she had only heard people say how powerful Zhou Shu’s forging skills were. She had personally seen how heaven-defying the weapons Zhou Shu forged were.
She had never thought that Zhou Shu would fail in forging.
“Master, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about the success rate when it comes to forging,” Lu Wenshuang couldn’t help saying. “I heard that it’s already very good for a Grand Craftsman to succeed in forging one out of three weapons…”
Zhou Shu looked up at Lu Wenshuang with a faint smile. “Do you think I failed?”
“Master.” Lu Wenshuang hesitated.
“Little Lu, although you’re my in-name disciple, you’re a martial artist. You still don’t know enough about my forging skills.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’ve never failed in forging. Not in the past and not in the future.
“It’s a fake weapon that isn’t even a connate divine weapon. If I failed in forging such a weapon, I would kill myself with a piece of tofu.
“It’s not that I failed to forge this thing. It’s what it’s for. That’s all.”
As he spoke, Zhou Shu raised his hands, and the remaining fragments of the small cauldron turned into a ray of light that soared into the sky.
Boom!
A loud bang sounded in the sky, and then the light formed by the fragments condensed into a ten-foot-wide vortex in the air.
Lu Wenshuang felt her body shake. This wasn’t her imagination, but the entire world was shaking.
Swish—
A stream of light shot over from afar at an unbelievable speed. It was the Longevity Sword that had been missing for several days.
“Little Zhou, what did you do? Why is the second heaven suddenly about to collapse?!” Shi Changsheng’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s consciousness, sounding rather exasperated.
He had been happily devouring forging materials when this space was about to collapse. He still had a lot of forging materials that he had yet to devour!
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the vortex in the air.
“How did you do it? You actually opened the passage to the third heaven?” Shi Changsheng’s voice was full of astonishment. He hadn’t believed that Zhou Shu could forge a Kun Wu Saber, but now, he was a little shaken.
Could two identical weapons really be forged?
To be able to serve as the Heavenly Hub Armory, the Kun Wu Saber that he forged couldn’t just look the same. It had to be exactly the same as the Kun Wu Saber from the inside out.
“Old Shi, there’s nothing in this world that can’t be done. There are only people who can’t do it.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Sometimes, if you don’t force yourself, you will never know your limits.”
Laughing, he stepped into the maelstrom.
“Master, wait for me.” Lu Wenshuang called out and followed.
The Longevity Sword spun in the air like a man scratching his head.
“Little Zhou, where’s the Kun Wu Saber you forged? Let me see. I don’t believe there are two identical divine weapons in this world!” Shi Changsheng shouted. The Longevity Sword turned into a stream of light and entered the vortex.
The two of them had just disappeared with the Longevity Sword when the second heaven of the Heavenly Hub Armory finally reached the end of its life.
Zhou Shu’s act of smuggling became the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The entire space collapsed, and volcanoes erupted. Space began to shatter in large patches, and everything was buried in a spatial storm.
Almost instantly, the entire second level of the Heavenly Hub Armory became a black dot that disappeared into space forever. Naturally, the things inside disappeared.
Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang, who had already stepped into the third level of the Heavenly Hub Armory, naturally didn’t feel much about the destruction of the second level behind them. They were currently erupting with their auras and staring at Demon Queen Tushan not far away!
Tushan lay in the air with an enchanting expression, and the nine tails behind her flew up and down like white snakes. She looked abnormally shocked.
“Tushan!” Zhou Shu exuded a murderous aura. He looked around but didn’t see Mi Ziwen or Yang Hong.
He reached out and grabbed the Longevity Sword that had just passed through the vortex. It happened to fall into his hand.
“Where are they?” Zhou Shu pointed his sword at Tushan. The Longevity Sword shone brightly. Having just eaten its fill, it was very cooperative. Sharp sword qi flowed endlessly on the sword, ready to cut through the sky at any moment.
“I was right about you.” Tushan looked straight at Zhou Shu and laughed. “You can enter without the Kun Wu Saber!
“Do you want to save them? It’s simple. Just have to do as I say, and I promise to return them to you intact.”
“You’re not letting them go?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “There’s another way. When I cut off all your tails, I want to see if you’ll let them go or not!”
