BXBX NOVEL Chapter 659 - 659 The Cosmic Cauldron (2)
“You’re crazy! Do you know where we are?” Hu Li said nervously. “This is a forbidden area of the Demon Realm! Even a Demon King might not be able to leave alive!”
“Is that so?” Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly in a smile. “Hu Li, in order to save you, I made a huge sacrifice. This is my biggest secret. Other than me, you’re the second person in the world to know this secret.”
He looked at Hu Li and said seriously, “Welcome to my territory.”
Zhou Shu extended his hands, and a sword light shot into the sky from his back.
Deep in Yuheng Valley, a long sword shot over and slowly stopped in front of Zhou Shu. As the sword trembled, the entire Yuheng Valley seemed to tremble.
Hu Li’s expression was very complicated. He looked at Zhou Shu in disbelief.
“You said the forbidden area of the Demon Realm is your territory?” Hu Li was silent for a long time before speaking. He was not very smart to begin with, and the series of events made him even more confused.
This forbidden area of the Demon Realm is the territory of a human?
How is that possible?
If it’s true, this is indeed a great secret. Why would this person tell me?
Does he really treat me as his friend?
“Friend…” Hu Li muttered to himself. There was no such saying in the Demon Realm. Between demonic beasts, the hierarchy was strict. They were either vassals or enemies.
Hu Li felt very confused. For some reason, he felt a warm current in his heart. At this moment, if a demonic beast wanted to deal with Zhou Shu, Hu Li would definitely help Zhou Shu fight to the death…
“That’s right. This is my secret base.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Hu Li, this is my big secret. If the other Demon Kings find out, I’ll never have a day of peace.
“If you tell the other Demon Kings—”
“How is that possible?” Hu Li said loudly. “What do you take me for?”
“I misspoke.” Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head. “Alright, this place is safe for the time being. Recuperate first. I have to recover.”
He found a place and sat down cross-legged. The Longevity Sword circled around and landed on his knees.
In his consciousness, Shi Changsheng transformed into a figure.
“What’s going on? Did you fool Hu Li?” Shi Changsheng asked with interest.
“How can you say that I fooled him?” Zhou Shu said seriously. “I’m forming an alliance, understand? Hu Li doesn’t have that much hostility toward the human race. What’s so strange about me forming an alliance with him?”
“Alright, forming an alliance.” Shi Changsheng gave him a thumbs-up and smiled. “Young fellow, you’re really a talent.”
He had watched Zhou Shu walk all the way from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield. Everything he did amazed him.
He was clearly behind enemy lines. If it was anyone else, they would probably still be hiding everywhere and could die at the hands of demonic beasts at any moment.
But Zhou Shu was living so easily here. Not only had he scammed a massive amount of forging materials from demonic beasts, but he had even become an ally of a Demon King.
Even Shi Changsheng could only admire him.
“Old Shi, have you made any new discoveries in Yuheng Valley?” Zhou Shu asked casually.
“I really found something interesting.” Shi Changsheng looked at Zhou Shu with a strange expression and suddenly said, “Young fellow, what is your relationship with God?”
He pointed at the sky.
“What?” Zhou Shu didn’t understand. They were clearly talking about Yuheng Valley. Why did it suddenly involve God?
“I suspect that you’re God’s illegitimate son!” Shi Changsheng said seriously.
“Old Shi, you’re a Grotto-Heaven expert. Only a country bumpkin would say such words. Do you still believe in God?” Zhou Shu said angrily.
“I don’t believe it either,” Shi Changsheng said matter-of-factly. “But other than the fact that you’re God’s illegitimate son, I really can’t understand why you’re so lucky.”
Shi Changsheng continued, “Why hasn’t a single demonic beast discovered the secret of Yuheng Valley after being in the Demon Realm for so many years?
“It’s fine if that strange little girl directly acknowledged you as her father, but…” He sighed. “Damn you, you’re so lucky!”
“Old Shi, can you be straightforward?” Zhou Shu said helplessly. “What exactly did you discover in Yuheng Valley?”
Shi Changsheng didn’t beat around the bush this time. Instead, he said with a solemn expression, “Divine weapon, peerless divine weapon! A true peerless divine weapon!”
Zhou Shu was slightly stunned. A peerless divine weapon?
Shi Changsheng wasn’t an ordinary person. He was once an existence at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm and the master of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. His knowledge was definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.
The peerless divine weapon he was talking about was definitely not an ordinary connate divine weapon. One had to know that his main body, the Longevity Sword, was ranked second in the Connate Armament Manual.
Apart from the Demon Suppressing Pagoda that suppressed Tushan, the few connate divine weapons Zhou Shu had forged were not as high-ranked as the Longevity Sword.
Moreover, he suspected that the Connate Armament Manual had underestimated the Longevity Sword.
“Is it the weapon of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?” Zhou Shu asked. “Old Shi, didn’t you say that his intrinsic divine weapon is the Heavenly Hub Armory? But we’ve been to the Heavenly Hub Armory before. Isn’t it already destroyed?”
“You’re lucky.” Shi Changsheng sighed. “I wouldn’t have said anything if it was the Heavenly Hub Armory.
“Let me tell you. The world only knows that surnamed Diao has the Heavenly Hub Armory, which is a nine-heaven divine weapon. But very few people know that he had another intrinsic divine weapon!
“I happen to be one of the few people who know. If it were anyone else, they might not recognize this weapon even if they saw it.
“Surnamed Diao left it in Yuheng Valley, but you obtained it. It was sealed, and ordinary people wouldn’t detect its existence. But I’m beside you, and I know it. How lucky are you?!”
“Old Shi, you’ve said so much, but you still haven’t said what this peerless divine weapon is.”
Zhou Shu was curious. He really wanted to know what kind of peerless divine weapon could make Shi Changsheng sigh.
“Cosmic Cauldron!” Shi Changsheng said solemnly.
“Cosmic Cauldron?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
“The reason why the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain could become the ancestral court of forgers was because of this Cosmic Cauldron!
“It’s rumored that surnamed Diao used the Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge. Little do people know that although the Heaven and Earth Furnace is strong, it’s only a replica of the Cosmic Cauldron.
“Surnamed Diao created the Heaven and Earth Furnace and bragged about it, but he kept the Cosmic Cauldron a secret. In fact, the Cosmic Cauldron is the best forging furnace in the world!”
“Really?” Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. If it was an offensive divine weapon, he might not care much. But a furnace was different.
He was a forger. If he had a good forging furnace, he would definitely be able to yield twice the results with half the effort.
“Of course. Would I lie to you?” Shi Changsheng said. “If it was back then, I definitely wouldn’t give this Cosmic Cauldron to you. But now, I’m just a sword. It’s useless to take the Cosmic Cauldron, so I can only let you have it.
“Let me tell you. Surnamed Diao forged the Heavenly Hub Armory with the Cosmic Cauldron.”
Shi Changsheng continued, “Moreover, you know about the imperial cauldrons, right? They were also forged with the Cosmic Cauldron!”
“The imperial cauldrons came from the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?” Zhou Shu’s expression froze. “The Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent were separated by the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?”
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng. Although he had always suspected it, he had never had any evidence. Shi Changsheng had always avoided talking about it. He didn’t expect him to say it this time. The imperial cauldrons really came from the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!
