Chapter 1254 - 1254 I Am a Vanguard General of the Eastern Celestial Thearch (2)
1254 I Am a Vanguard General of the Eastern Celestial Thearch (2)
He remembered that mortals called such people bosses.
Zhou Shu’s face darkened. Mu Zhixing is really shameless. He accepted his status as a worker so quickly?
But this is fine. A sensible person is easier to deal with than a tough nut to crack.
“What boss? You can call him Your Highness or Master,” Yao Qing berated.
“Then, I’ll call you Your Highness,” Mu Zhixing said. “Your Highness, please give me your orders. But I’ve been injured by you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear too much responsibility for the time being.”
Mu Zhixing was actually a lazy and shameless person.
It made sense. If he wasn’t such a shameless person, how could he have surrendered so easily?
Character determines one’s fate.
“It’s okay. It’s fine as long as you still have your strength,” Zhou Shu said indifferently.
He didn’t expect Mu Zhixing to do much. To Zhou Shu, a worker only needed to do one thing—mine!
Mu Zhixing was stronger than most Grotto-Heaven Masters. Even though he was injured, he was definitely equivalent to ten miners!
Mine? Mu Zhixing opened his mouth, but he didn’t dare to refuse.
There was really no excuse for this. His injury wasn’t so serious that he couldn’t mine.
But he had to do such work?
“Your Highness, isn’t it overkill for me to do this job?” Mu Zhixing asked doubtfully.
“Overkill?” Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing. “You’re a great talent?”
“Of course. I am a vanguard general of the Eastern Celestial Thearch!” Mu Zhixing said loudly. “Fighting in battles is what I should do!”
“Aren’t you injured? I’m taking care of you,” Zhou Shu said indifferently.
Mu Zhixing: “…”
It makes sense. I can’t refute it.
Alright, I’m not really going to be a worker anyway. I’ll just appease him and mine.
“Alright, I’ll go,” Mu Zhixing said.
Zhou Shu said, “There’s no hurry, Mu Zhixing. Tell me more about the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom…”
…
Mu Zhixing looked like an expert at first, then he looked a little lazy.
After interacting with him, Zhou Shu realized that he had the potential to be a chatterbox.
As soon as he opened the box, he didn’t even need to ask. Mu Zhixing told him everything.
Of course, to Zhou Shu, he could only believe 30% of what he said.
When Mu Zhixing spoke, he habitually beautified his own matters.
And he exaggerated many things.
For example, he kept saying that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom was on a higher level than Zhou Shu’s world.
Zhou Shu had his doubts about this.
According to his guess, Gou Mang, Zhu Rong, Ru Shou, Xuan Ming, and Hou Tu all came from his world.
He believed that this flower was definitely a higher level. The other five were just leaves.
According to Zhou Shu’s understanding, if the world they were in was considered Earth, then the five worlds, Gou Mang, Zhu Rong, Ru Shou, Xuan Ming, and Hou Tu, were five satellites revolving around Earth.
Of course, this was only a metaphor. Zhou Shu still needed to verify the truth.
According to Mu Zhixing, the people of the five worlds were extremely powerful. Compared to the people here, they were immortals and buddhas.
In this regard, there was a reason why Mu Zhixing was so arrogant.
Zhou Shu already knew this when he fought Cao Chenyang and the other enemies from the outside world.
Cao Chenyang came from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, one of the five worlds, and it was very likely that he was the Celestial Thearch of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhou Shu had reservations about Mu Zhixing, so he naturally didn’t mention Cao Chenyang to him.
He asked. “Mu Zhixing, you said that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wants to annex our world, and your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is against it. Then, why don’t you stop the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom? Could it be that your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom can’t defeat the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?”
“Nonsense! How can our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom not be the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom’s match?!” Mu Zhixing said loudly. “We can’t start a war so casually.
“Let me tell you this. Whether it’s our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom or the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, compared to your place, it’s the difference between the capital and a small village.
“You’re in a remote village. It’s naturally not a problem for you to roll up your sleeves and fight if you encounter anything. But there are countless high-ranking officials and n.o.bles in the capital. How can they fight just like that?
“Even if we fight, we have to have a reason.”
Mu Zhixing talked non-stop, but in Zhou Shu’s ears, there was only one sentence. Mu Zhixing was not a big shot in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
He couldn’t even explain these things himself.
Actually, Zhou Shu had long thought of this. Although Mu Zhixing spoke arrogantly, he was probably bragging when he said he was a vanguard general of the Eastern Celestial Thearch.
It was possible he was just a soldier in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom…
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
A person whose strength almost surpa.s.sed that of a Grotto-Heaven Master was just a soldier in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?
How strong would the experts of Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom be?
How strong was the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom that wanted to invade their world?
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes. “Mu Zhixing, have you heard of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace?”
“You’ve really found the Lingxiao Treasure Palace!” An ‘as expected’ look flashed across Mu Zhixing’s face. “I was wondering why you had the legacy of the Freedom Transformation Technique. If you hadn’t found the Lingxiao Treasure Palace—”
“Wait. Do you think I obtained my Freedom Transformation Technique from the Lingxiao Treasure Palace?” Zhou Shu was puzzled.
“Isn’t it?” Mu Zhixing said with certainty. “The person who masters the Freedom Transformation Technique is the envoy of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. Apart from the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, there is nowhere else people can obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique.”
Mu Zhixing asked curiously, “By the way, where are the ruins of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace? Is there anything else good there? Can you bring me there to broaden my horizons?”
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing. The ruins of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace? The Lingxiao Treasure Palace has already been destroyed?
Then, what was the Lingxiao Treasure Palace I saw when I entered the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
Who is the envoy of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace?
How is the Freedom Transformation Technique related to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace?
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing with a strange gaze. This fellow was so vague that Zhou Shu wanted to use the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique on him.
Mu Zhixing felt a chill run down his spine from Zhou Shu’s gaze. He said uneasily, “Forget it. I shouldn’t go take a look. The Lingxiao Treasure Palace is not an ordinary place. If it were me, I wouldn’t bring anyone else there.”
Mu Zhixing thought that Zhou Shu didn’t want to bring him to see the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
But Zhou Shu couldn’t bring him to see the ruins of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
This was because there was no ruins of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
“Mu Zhixing, let me ask you again. How did you come here from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom? If I want to go to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, how should I go?”
“I didn’t come from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to come here. I came from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom,” Mu Zhixing said casually. “Otherwise, why do you think I know Cang Hao?
“If I hadn’t seen Cang Hao, I wouldn’t have come here…
“Right now, only the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is connected to this world. If you want to go to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, you can either go through the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom or wait.
“The five worlds rotate. When one of the worlds comes into contact with this world, you will naturally have a chance to go over.
“But it’s hard to say how long it will take. It can take three to five years or even three to five hundred years…”
Mu Zhixing explained. The five worlds would periodically approach or become farther from this world. When they approached, they would come into contact with this world in five days. At that time, there would be a chance to enter the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhou Shu pondered and asked, “You’re from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Why did you go to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?”
“Didn’t I say? I’m here to stop the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom from invading your place,” Mu Zhixing said seriously. “It’s just that I haven’t achieved anything yet…”
