BXBX NOVEL Chapter 837 - 837 Imagine Human and Demon Coexisting (2)
“Fine.” Zhou Shu didn’t mind. He never had the habit of begging others to accept his divine weapons.
When he transformed into the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock, many people had cried and begged for a connate divine weapon.
Zhou Shu no longer needed to worry about the sales of weapons. What he needed to worry about was how to let the connate divine weapons he personally forged fall into the hands of the right people.
“Hey, if he doesn’t want it. I want it!” A voice came from the side. Hu Li was running over.
Hu Li sized up Zhou Shu with a puzzled expression. “Shi Changsheng, you’re always changing your appearance. What exactly do you look like? I almost don’t know you anymore.”
“What you’re seeing now is my true appearance.” Zhou Shu smiled. Since he had already been exposed, there was no point in pretending anymore. “Hu Li, my real name is Zhou Shu. Shi Changsheng is just an alias.”
Zhou Shu? Shi Changsheng? Hu Li scratched his head. “Whatever. You can call yourself whatever you want. How about you give me the divine weapon that Yao Buqi refused?”
“Don’t you already have the Heavenly Dragon Slayer?” Zhou Shu looked at Hu Li doubtfully. He had helped Hu Li forge the Heavenly Dragon Slayer, and Hu Li liked the Heavenly Dragon Slayer to the extreme. Even now, a pair of wings still flapped on Hu Li’s back.
“One can never have too many weapons,” Hu Li said matter-of-factly. “I saw you using a few different sabers and swords.”
“It’s different. I’m a forger. You’re not.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “One connate divine weapon is enough. It’s useless to have more.”
The connate divine weapons he personally forged were all used to equip workers. Wouldn’t it be a waste to give two to Hu Li?
“Zhou Shu, if you want more demonic beasts, I have a few for you.” A voice came from above. It was Ji Lutian descending from the sky.
The barrier on the Two Region Mountain didn’t obstruct Ji Lutian at all, stunning Yao Buqi.
There are too many experts in the human race.
Even ordinary Demon Kings can’t enter my Two Region Mountain. How did Yao Qing’s father enter so easily?
Didn’t they say that Yao Qing’s father is only a first-rank martial artist?
Yao Buqi cursed in his heart. Not only are these humans powerful, but their acting skills are also too good. King Zhou pretended to be weak back then, but he was stronger than anyone else…
“You’re not talking about Yao Qing, are you?” Zhou Shu looked at Ji Lutian. “I didn’t see Yao Qing among the Demon Realm army. Did you hide him?”
“It’s not Qing’er.” Ji Lutian shook his head. He didn’t answer Zhou Shu’s question about hiding Yao Qing. Instead, he said, “You should know them too. Do you still remember Yao Yi and the others?”
“Yao Yi?” Zhou Shu nodded. He naturally remembered Yao Yi and the other demonic beasts. Back in the Demon Realm, when he pretended to be Yao Qing to fool Hu Li, Ji Lutian had sent some of his disciples to help Zhou Shu. It was also because of this that Hu Li and the Great Demons of the Demon Realm didn’t suspect Zhou Shu’s identity.
Yao Yi and the other demonic beasts were nominally Ji Lutian’s disciples and were known as the Nine Heavens Nine Sections. There were a total of 108 demonic beasts, all of whom had learned human forging techniques.
In their hearts, they might have a greater sense of belonging to the human race.
Zhou Shu looked at Ji Lutian. Could it be that Ji Lutian didn’t train the Nine Heavens Nine Sections purely for the sake of forging?
Could he have thought of today?
But if Yao Yi and the others from the Nine Heavens Nine Sections could stay conscious, they could definitely use them as the core to gather a large number of demonic beasts for the humans to use.
“Did they go crazy? Where are they now?” Zhou Shu asked two questions.
Ji Lutian didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his hand, and the Demon Subduing Pagoda appeared in his palm. With a flick of his wrist, the Demon Subduing Pagoda expanded with the wind, became five meters tall, and landed on the ground.
“Please.” Ji Lutian stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture. A door appeared on the Demon Subduing Pagoda. The door opened, revealing a world inside.
Zhou Shu immediately understood. This Demon Subduing Pagoda was a grotto-heaven divine weapon, and Ji Lutian had hidden the Nine Heavens Nine Sections in it.
Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly as he followed Ji Lutian into the door.
Hu Li and Yao Buqi hesitated for a long time. In the end, they didn’t dare to follow. The words ‘Demon Subduing Pagoda’ on the door exuded an aura that made them tremble in fear.
Even if Hu Li was reckless, he wasn’t a fool. He knew that he might be suppressed if he went in. Why would he take the risk?
In any case, what happened here had nothing to do with him.
…
Zhou Shu followed Ji Lutian through the door of the Demon Subduing Pagoda and arrived at the first world inside.
What greeted his eyes was a green grassland. In the distance was a large bamboo forest. The environment looked extremely quiet, and there was lush green everywhere.
With the bamboo forest blocking him, Zhou Shu couldn’t tell how big this world was at a glance.
Just as the two of them appeared in this world, a figure shot out from the distant bamboo forest.
It was Yao Wenxin.
Then a hundred figures ran out of the bamboo forest. Who else could it be but Yao Yi and the others?
“Mr. Ji, you indeed have far-reaching schemes.” Zhou Shu sighed.
“But I didn’t succeed in scheming against you.” Ji Lutian shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Even though you’re the owner of the Treasure Distribution Rock, I couldn’t tell before. These eyes are getting old.”
“Mr. Ji, you’re too polite,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Mr. Ji, you nurtured the Nine Heavens Nine Sections. Could it be that you predicted that I would be able to let them avoid the control of heavenly slaves?”
“I did have some ideas about nurturing Yao Yi and the others, but I didn’t expect you to appear.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “To be honest, I’ve also been trying to make demonic beasts avoid the control of heavenly slaves, including what I told you before about getting rid of all the Grotto-Heaven realm experts. I’ve made a breakthrough in the latter, but I’ve never found a good solution for the former.
“The younger generation surpasses the older.”
He looked at Zhou Shu appreciatively. “When I heard about you, I thought that you might be able to make some changes, but what you can do has far exceeded my expectations.”
“I’m very curious. Mr. Ji, who are you?” Zhou Shu said noncommittally.
“Does it matter? Just as I don’t ask about your background, you don’t have to care about mine. Our goal is the same. We both want the human race to survive in this world,” Ji Lutian said indifferently.
Zhou Shu shook his head. “Although our goals are the same, we might not choose the same path. I don’t agree with your theory to get rid of all the Grotto-Heaven realm experts in the world.
“If I let Yao Yi and the others avoid the heavenly slaves’ control, what do you want them to do?
“If you don’t make this clear, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
Zhou Shu looked straight at Ji Lutian. He didn’t agree with Ji Lutian’s suggestion to seek peace with Heaven.
Therefore, he had to figure out what Ji Lutian wanted to do with Yao Yi and the others. If it was related to his grand plan for peace, Zhou Shu wouldn’t help Yao Yi and the others forge connate bloodline divine weapons.
...
Forging bloodline connate divine weapons wasn’t easy. Limited resources had to be used where they were needed most.
“My thoughts should be the same as yours,” Ji Lutian said in a deep voice, his expression unchanged. “I have an idea. One day, humans and demonic beasts can coexist peacefully and live together under the same blue sky.”
Ji Lutian’s expression was calm. Beside him, Yao Wenxin looked at Ji Lutian in obsession.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. The coexistence of humans and demonic beasts seemed to be in line with his thoughts, but in fact, it was not necessarily the same thing.
Zhou Shu’s thoughts had always been that the human race had to dominate, but Ji Lutian’s thoughts might not be the same.
