Chapter 1306 Potential Allies, We Won\'t Know Until We Talk (2)
But he was quite particular. After returning to the ancestral land for so long, he had restrained himself and didn\'t do anything overboard to obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique.
Speaking of which, it was about time to end things with Mu Zhixing.
"Come in," Zhou Shu said.
A moment later, Mu Zhixing walked in with a smile and said familiarly, "Your Highness, what amazing connate divine weapon did you forge this time? Can you broaden my horizons?"
He was also very interesting. He was clearly here for the Freedom Transformation Technique, but he acted as if he was just here to chat.
"Mu Zhixing, listen carefully to the last part of the Freedom Transformation Technique," Zhou Shu said calmly.
Mu Zhixing was delighted, and his expression became serious. "I\'m ready."
Of course he was ready!
He had spent so much effort to come to the ancestral land for the Freedom Transformation Technique!
He had been waiting for this day.
Zhou Shu didn\'t mind and continued, "Mu Zhixing, I can impart the last part of the Freedom Transformation Technique to you now, but I have a condition."
Mu Zhixing patted his chest. "Your Highness, tell me. As long as you ask, I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire."
"There\'s no need for you to go through mountains of blades and seas of fire. Furthermore, mountains of blades and seas of fire can\'t hurt you at all," Zhou Shu said angrily.
With Mu Zhixing\'s strength, how could mountains of blades and seas of fire hurt him?
He must have heard this term from some book and used it randomly.
Mu Zhixing smiled awkwardly. "It\'s the meaning that counts."
"My condition is very simple. I want to meet someone in power in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom," Zhou Shu said solemnly. "Or rather, someone who can make decisions in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom."
"Your Highness, you want to form an alliance with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?" Mu Zhixing quickly understood. He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, although I really want to agree, I have to tell you the truth.
"It\'s useless. It\'s impossible for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to form an alliance with the ancestral land.
"Your Highness, we\'ve spent so much time together. I\'m telling you this because I treat you as a friend. Otherwise, I could just take the Freedom Transformation Technique and casually introduce you to someone."
Mu Zhixing said with a serious expression, "But I can\'t lie to my friend. Your Highness, if you want to form an alliance with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, you\'d better give up on this idea because it\'s impossible."
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing.
He wasn\'t sure if Mu Zhixing treated him as a friend, but he was certain that Mu Zhixing wasn\'t lying about one thing. It was impossible for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to form an alliance with the ancestral land.
"Why?" Zhou Shu asked.
"Your Highness, isn\'t it obvious?" Mu Zhixing said.
"Five Leaves Bloomed on One Flower. Back then, the worlds were separated because their ideals were incompatible. To put it bluntly, it was because their Daos were different. Be it the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom or the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, they were not friends of the ancestral land. At best, the people of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom have calm personalities and are unwilling to fight. Otherwise, just the battle of the Great Dao was enough to make them fight to the death.
"It\'s already good enough that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom isn\'t helping the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. If you want the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to help you deal with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, forget it."
Mu Zhixing looked very sincere.
From his current performance, those who didn\'t know better would think that he was really Zhou Shu\'s friend.
"All I know is that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits," Zhou Shu said indifferently. "I think it\'s not impossible for the ancestral land and the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to form an alliance."
Mu Zhixing asked, "Then, Your Highness, what benefits do you think the ancestral land can give the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom? Aren\'t you afraid that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom wants more than the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?"
His words hit the nail on the head.
That\'s right. There were indeed no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits.
But the problem was that the ancestral land might not be able to afford the benefits that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom wanted.
"If we don\'t talk about it, how will we know it\'s impossible?" Zhou Shu continued, his expression remaining unchanged. "Whether we can negotiate or not is my business. No matter the outcome, I won\'t blame you.
"My condition is for you to introduce me to someone who has the final say in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, or can you represent the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?"
Zhou Shu stared at Mu Zhixing without blinking.
Now, he could naturally tell that Mu Zhixing wasn\'t an ordinary person.
How many times could an ordinary vanguard escape from the second most powerful person of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom? And how many times could he make that person of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Zhan Jingtao, look miserable?
If an ordinary vanguard of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom had such strength, how powerful was the Mang Heavenly Kingdom?
That was simply impossible.
Mu Zhixing shook his head. "I can\'t represent the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. I can only represent myself. If you insist, whatever I say will become my deliberate obstruction.
"But Your Highness, there\'s no spatial rift between the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and the ancestral land. If you want to go to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, you have to pass through the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom."
Mu Zhixing pondered and said, "Your Highness, you should know the current situation of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. It\'s not that easy to enter and exit the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom now…"
"It\'s not that easy. But I believe you have a way," Zhou Shu said.
Mu Zhixing smiled bitterly. "Your Highness, have you misunderstood something? Although I, Mu Zhixing, am a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, my strength is really average. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have lost to you, right?
"Didn\'t I risk my life to come to the ancestral land to obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique? Why do I want it? It\'s because I\'m not strong enough and want to increase my strength."
Mu Zhixing said so much, but Zhou Shu didn\'t believe a single word.
Mu Zhixing might really not be as strong as him on the surface, but his true strength was definitely more than that.
One had to know that Zhan Jingtao was the second strongest person in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. His strength was truly at the Nomological realm!
If Mu Zhixing\'s strength was only superficial, no matter how many dharma treasures he had, it would have been impossible for him to trap Zhan Jingtao.
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing. "Mu Zhixing, let\'s not beat around the bush. I don\'t care who you are or how strong you are.
"I only have one condition. If you agree, I\'ll immediately impart the rest of the Freedom Technique to you.
"If you don\'t agree…"
"Alright, Your Highness, you\'ve already said so much. What else can I say?" Mu Zhixing said helplessly. "But Your Highness, let\'s be candid here. I can introduce someone to you, but the extent of the negotiation is not something I can control.
"Also, I want the Freedom Transformation Technique first!
"Without the Freedom Transformation Technique, I\'m not confident that I can pass through the current Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!"
Mu Zhixing gave a dignified reason.
"I believe you," Zhou Shu said calmly. "I can give you the Freedom Transformation Technique. Moreover, after you obtain the cultivation technique, you can leave.
"But no one can take away my things for free. You should know that even if the ancestral land is extinct, if I don\'t want to die, no one can kill me. Even if you escape to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, I will definitely be able to find you."
Zhou Shu\'s tone was calm, but his words made Mu Zhixing\'s heart turn cold, and the hair on his back stood on end. "Your Highness, do you not trust me, Mu Zhixing? I will never go back on my word! Even if I lie to anyone, I won\'t lie to you.
"Unless I die, I will definitely complete your request. I will bring someone who can make decisions from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to talk to you.
"If I can\'t do it, you can do whatever you want with me. I definitely won\'t say anything!"
