“In that case, why don’t you just refuse?” Zhou Shu said somewhat speechlessly after hearing Sun Gongping’s righteous words.
“I wish I could.” Sun Gongping was also very innocent. “But they’re giving too much.
“I was thinking that pride isn’t worth much anyway, and isn’t killing demons what we’re supposed to do? Killing Yao Qing seems quite worth it…”
“You make it sound like Yao Qing will stand just there for you to kill,” Zhou Shu said. “Do you know who Yao Qing is? Even if you break through to the first rank of the Martial Dao and have a connate divine weapon, you might not be able to kill him.”
Sun Gongping might not know, but Zhou Shu knew that Yao Qing’s father was Ji Lutian.
!!
Was Ji Lutian’s son so easy to kill?
Moreover, Yao Qing seemed to be hiding something. It was impossible for the Heavenly Mountain Villa to want his life for no reason.
It would be a miracle if this mission was that simple.
“Tell me. What did they promise to give you that made you think they’re giving too much?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
Sun Gongping was not inexperienced. He didn’t even care about a connate divine weapon. For him to say such words, it could only mean that the rewards promised by the Heavenly Mountain Villa after he succeeded were definitely extraordinary.
“Old Zhou, here’s the main point.” Sun Gongping lowered his voice mysteriously. “Only you know about this. The Heavenly Mountain Villa told me that after the matter is done, they can let me break through to the Earth G.o.d Immortal realm. Is this the realm above the first rank of the Martial Dao? Or is it the realm above that?”
Sun Gongping looked curious. It had been countless years since an expert above the first rank of the Martial Dao had appeared on the Ten Nations Continent. No one even knew what the realm above the first rank was.
Sun Gongping only knew that in the Demon Realm, there were Great Demons above first-rank demonic beasts and Demon Kings above Great Demons.
But he didn’t know what the realm above the first rank was for human martial artists.
Not only did he not know, but among the entire Ten Nations Alliance, or rather, among the humans he knew, only Zhou Shu knew.
After all, Zhou Shu was a freak who could fight a Demon King.
“Earth Immortal realm?” Zhou Shu nodded. It should be the Earth Immortal realm that Shi Changsheng had mentioned, but the way they called it was a little different. “They told you that they can let you break through to the Earth G.o.d Immortal realm?”
Going from a first-rank martial artist to an Earth Immortal was not an ordinary bottleneck.
Even Zhou Shu’s Breakthrough Pill couldn’t do this.
Back then, he had used the first time he cultivated the G.o.d of War Catalog with Yin Wuyou to break through to the Earth Immortal realm.
This time, he had ruthlessly used the black and yellow liquid to let Lu Wenshuang take a bath because he wanted to see if he could nurture an Earth Immortal disciple.
After all, in his opinion, among the human martial artists in the Demon Realm, the one with the best Martial Dao apt.i.tude was Lu Wenshuang. Moreover, she was one of his…
He had yet to see any hope of Lu Wenshuang breaking through, but Sun Gongping came to tell him that the Heavenly Mountain Villa could allow Sun Gongping to easily break through to the Earth Immortal realm?
“I don’t know much about the Earth G.o.d Immortal realm. That’s why I’m asking you,” Sun Gongping said. “Breaking through the first rank of the Martial Dao definitely won’t be that easy. Who knows if they’re fooling me?”
Martial Dao cultivation was like ascending to the heavens. How could it be so easy to break through?
The Breakthrough Pill that Zhou Shu had given him had already made him feel incredulous. But it could only be used once.
If it was so easy to break through the first rank, there wouldn’t have been no expert above the first rank on the Ten Nations Continent for thousands of years.
No matter how confident Sun Gongping was, it was impossible for him to think that he was stronger than all the human experts since ancient times.
“It’s not that easy to break through to the Earth G.o.d Immortal realm.” Zhou Shu pondered. “But I don’t know if the Heavenly Mountain Villa has any special methods.”
There were all kinds of strange things in the world.
In the past, he had never thought that there would be a Breakthrough Pill. In the end, it was the same.
The Legendary Armament Canon could increase his cultivation level, and the Heavenly Mountain Villa might have similar methods.
“Isn’t that the same as not saying anything?” Sun Gongping said angrily. “Do you think I should take a gamble?”
It was really difficult for Sun Gongping to make a decision. If he didn’t have this opportunity, he probably wouldn’t have been able to break through to the Earth G.o.d Immortal realm in his life.
If he missed this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
But he was also worried that the Heavenly Mountain Villa was tricking him. He wasn’t afraid that the other party would trick him. But if he fell for it, wouldn’t it be too embarra.s.sing?
He was someone who cared about his reputation.
“You might as well take a gamble,” Zhou Shu said. “But I think your chances of successfully a.s.sa.s.sinating Yao Qing are infinitely close to zero.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t think too much about it. You’re not even a first-rank martial artist yet. It’s impossible for you to kill Yao Qing.”
“I think so too.” Sun Gongping nodded. “I have another question. Help me take a look and see if there’s anything wrong with this connate divine weapon.
“I don’t want to refine this weapon and become a puppet of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
Sun Gongping said proudly, “The Heavenly Mountain Villa wants to trick me? Dream on!”
