859 One Strike Will Destroy You (2)
Crack!
As if some shackles had been unlocked, Zheng Jingyun’s body suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and then the sound of the Great Dao sounded.
Boom!
Zheng Jingyun stood up and extended his hand. The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod appeared.
!!
He roared and struck out with the rod.
As he swung the rod, a huge, faintly discernible shadow seemed to appear behind him.
Boom!
The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod struck the surface of the Endless Sea, and monstrous waves rose, which was not inferior to earlier.
In just a few breaths, Zheng Jingyun’s cultivation fell, and then he regained his strength. He even seemed to be stronger than before.
“Your mystic technique is useful.” Zheng Jingyun looked at Ji Lutian solemnly. “But its flaws are not minor!”
Zheng Jingyun was also a Martial Dao genius. He could naturally think of anything that Zhou Shu could.
“Are there no flaws with the Grotto-Heaven realm?” Ji Lutian said indifferently. There was no perfect Martial Dao in this world.
If not for the fact that there was something wrong with the Grotto-Heaven realm, why would he find another way?
Zheng Jingyun’s attempt jolted Zhou Shu out of his comprehension.
Zhou Shu, who came to his senses, happened to see the power of his strike. Is this the Dao of Incense? It’s not without its merits.
Not to mention anything else, the effect of the Dao of Incense on increasing strength was not something that the Martial Dao could compare to.
Zheng Jingyun had shattered his grotto-heaven, and his cultivation had fallen to the Earth Immortal realm. But in just a few breaths, his strength had returned to its peak. How could this be achieved with other methods?
Although there were indeed some flaws in the Dao of Incense, it was difficult to achieve everything in life. Sometimes, people still had to strike a balance.
“Brother Zheng, since you’ve tested it yourself, you should be able to tell that I’m not just talking nonsense.” Ji Lutian cupped his hands at Zheng Jingyun. “My method can indeed make Heaven stop. For the sake of the human race, I need you to help me!”
Zheng Jingyun didn’t agree with Ji Lutian directly. Instead, he suddenly looked at Zhou Shu. “Is he also a helper you found?”
Previously, he had ignored Zhou Shu. Now that he suddenly asked about Zhou Shu, Ji Lutian was a little surprised.
“Yes,” Ji Lutian said. “His ident.i.ty is a little special. I—”
“No need to explain,” Zheng Jingyun interrupted. “Ji Lutian, although I used your incense mystic technique and shattered my grotto-heaven as you wished, it doesn’t mean that I agree with your point of view.
“Even if all the grotto-heavens are returned to the world, how can you be sure that Heaven will stop? Have you ever seen Heaven?”
Zheng Jingyun said in a low voice, “d.a.m.n Heaven, he wants to kill us, but we still have to kneel and beg for mercy? I can’t do it! Even if I die, I, Zheng Jingyun, have to die with dignity. I did this today because I reached the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm and couldn’t get any stronger.
“Since your incense mystic technique can make me stronger, there was no harm in giving it a try.”
A sly look flashed across Zheng Jingyun’s eyes. Ji Lutian was plotting against him. How could he not be plotting against Ji Lutian?
Zheng Jingyun pointed at the sky. “When I’m stronger, I’ll—”
“Turn him to ashes,” Zhou Shu suddenly said.
Zheng Jingyun was stunned. He nodded and said, “Yes, turn him into ashes with one strike of my rod!”
Pada!
Zhou Shu clapped. “Good spirit. Mr. Ji, this is how human heroes should think. Weakness won’t save the human race. If others want to destroy the human race, then just fight back.
“So what if it’s Heaven? Can Heaven decide our lives and deaths at will?
“You’ve found a path, but you’ve personally blocked it. I think Brother Zheng’s approach is the right way to do it.”
“What method? Use the incense technique to become stronger and then fight Heaven?” Ji Lutian shook his head with a bitter smile. “You’re too young. You don’t know how powerful Heaven is.”
Ji Lutian said stubbornly, “Do you think I haven’t tried? It’s useless. We can’t win. If the human race wants to carry on living, my method is the only feasible one.”
“Mr. Ji, since neither of us can convince the other, and Mr. Zheng doesn’t seem to want to stand on your side, why don’t we make a bet?” Zhou Shu suddenly said.
“Bet? Have you forgotten our business?” Ji Lutian frowned slightly. He and Zhou Shu still had to finish forging the divine weapons so that the human race would no longer have any Grotto-Heaven realm experts before the beast tide in the Demon Realm came again.
“That is business,” Zhou Shu continued. “Mr. Ji, your idea is to make the human race without Grotto-Heaven realm experts. I have the same idea as Mr. Zheng. We humans must fight. We have to fight against Heaven. We have to make him not dare to treat us humans like livestock again.
“I think these two ideas can coexist.”
Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun frowned at the same time.
“What nonsense are you spouting? I want to fight. He wants peace. How can these two coexist?” Zheng Jingyun said unhappily.
“Of course we have to fight, but we can fight in another way,” Zhou Shu said calmly.
“Fighting is just fighting. What other way is there?” Zheng Jingyun said disdainfully.
Zhou Shu smiled and asked, “Mr. Ji, you’re knowledgeable. You should know that the Reincarnation Mirror has the effect of reviving people from the dead, right?”
Ji Lutian nodded with a thoughtful expression. “The Reincarnation Mirror doesn’t really revive people. It just repairs the soul. Only by placing a wisp of your soul in the Reincarnation Mirror before death can you revive. It’s not really dying.”
“It’s the same,” Zhou Shu said. “If a wisp of the souls of everyone in the human race is sent into the Reincarnation Mirror, won’t all humans be able to live?”
Ji Lutian shook his head. “How is that possible? Not to mention how many souls the Reincarnation Mirror can hold, do you know how much it takes to revive a person’s soul?
“Even all the resources of the human race now are not enough for all humans to revive once.”
“What if it’s just Grotto-Heaven realm experts?” Zhou Shu continued asking.
“There’s no need for Grotto-Heaven realm experts to do that. The chances of them dying in battle are not high to begin with, so there’s no need to do anything unnecessary,” Ji Lutian said.
“But it’s still possible, right?” Zhou Shu asked. “Don’t you want the human race to have no Grotto-Heaven realm experts? Then, won’t getting them to do it once give you what you want?”
“What do you mean? You want the human Grotto-Heaven realm experts to take the initiative to die?” Zheng Jingyun glared at him. “Who are you? What ulterior motives do you have? Do you want to harm us humans?”
In his anger, he wanted to attack.
Ji Lutian grabbed him and looked at Zhou Shu. “Continue.”
He didn’t understand what Zhou Shu was trying to say. Wasn’t Zhou Shu a supporter of war? Why was he helping him think of a way to make Grotto-Heaven realm experts cut down their cultivation?
“If Grotto-Heaven realm experts die, they can revive with the help of the Reincarnation Mirror. And after their cultivation falls by one realm, they can quickly recover their strength with the help of the incense mystic technique.”
Zhou Shu continued calmly, “But if they put their lives on the line, it won’t be a problem for them to kill some Demon Kings.
“I’ve never heard of the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm being revived. In that case, if that happens, won’t your idea come true?”
“Are you trying to make use of Grotto-Geaven realm experts?” Zheng Jingyun said disdainfully. “Do you think Grotto-Heaven realm experts are fools? They’ll fight to the death just because you ask them to? What a joke!”
Ji Lutian pondered. “I don’t know what you mean either. I don’t have the ability to make Grotto-Heaven realm experts die once. I don’t think there’s a need either. You don’t understand how terrifying Heaven is. If we kill a Demon King, he can create another one. There’s really no point in getting Grotto-Heaven realm experts to fight to the death with Demon Kings.”
Zhou Shu asked. “Then, what if we humans have more Grotto-Heaven realm experts?”
