1276 If the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom Has No Weapons To Use (2)
Just like that, they arrived at a magnificent palace. Wu Suchen suddenly said, “From today onward, you will live here. I will tell the disciples on the island that you are my new last disciple.”
Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. A new disciple?Xu Tongda is Wu Suchen’s illegitimate son?The kind that isn’t recognized?
“I know. I won’t cause you any trouble,” Zhou Shu said coldly. He had roughly figured out how Xu Tongda and Wu Suchen got along.
An illegitimate son would probably have some resentment toward his biological father, especially since Wu Suchen was unwilling to admit his existence publicly.
This was a good thing for Zhou Shu. As long as he pretended to be angry, Wu Suchen wouldn’t suspect anything.
As expected, Wu Suchen didn’t care about Zhou Shu’s tone and only said, “If you need anything, feel free to tell them.
“Except for leaving here, your movement won’t be restricted on the island.”
Wu Suchen seemed to feel guilty about this illegitimate son.
“Is it okay if I want to learn the refining techniques of dharma treasures?” Zhou Shu asked coldly.
Wu Suchen was stunned, and joy flashed across the depths of his eyes. “Of course!”
He said solemnly, “You should understand that I have my reasons for not recognizing you now, but everything I have will be yours in the future. It’s naturally best if you want to learn the art of weapon refining!”
“Forget it. Don’t say things used to coax children.” Zhou Shu interrupted Wu Suchen. “I don’t need you to teach me personally. I want to enter your book depository and read the relevant books…”
On the way over with Wu Suchen, Zhou Shu had been observing the arrangements on this island and naturally saw the existence of the book depository.
Wu Suchen frowned slightly, but he didn’t think too much about it. “Apart from not being able to leave this place, you’re completely free on this island. You can go anywhere!
“I’ll pa.s.s the message down. No one will make things difficult for you.”
“Alright! I’m tired. You can go.” Then Zhou Shu turned around, walked into the house, and closed the door with a bang.
He played the role of a rebellious young man who didn’t get along with his father perfectly.
Wu Suchen stood outside the door for a long time. He sighed and shook his head slightly before turning to leave.
Outsiders only knew that he was the number one refiner in the world, but n.o.body knew that he had so many worries.
In the house , Zhou Shu’s back was facing the door, and a smile appeared on his face. I can move freely on this island?
Wu Suchen, you said it yourself.
You can’t blame me for this. Since you opened the door to welcome me, it won’t be nice if I continue to be polite to you.
Zhou Shu paid attention to the sounds outside the house. It wasn’t until Wu Suchen left that he thoroughly searched the house and felt relieved.
It seemed that Wu Suchen really didn’t suspect him.
Zhou Shu thought for a moment but didn’t take action immediately.
After sleeping for about four hours, Zhou Shu left the house and strolled around the island.
As Wu Suchen had said, his movements on this coral reef island were not restricted at all. The people he met on the way even bowed respectfully to him.
It seemed that even if Wu Suchen didn’t publicly acknowledge his ident.i.ty, he had definitely informed the people on the island, so no one dared to neglect him.
This made it convenient for Zhou Shu to move around.
At first, he was afraid of attracting Wu Suchen’s attention. After strolling for half a day, he realized that Wu Suchen didn’t appear at all.
Only then did he slowly arrive at the book depository.
Wu Suchen seemed to be a studious person. His book depository occupied an extremely large area. As soon as he walked into the book depository, Zhou Shu saw rows of bookshelves filled with books made of special materials.
With a casual glance, he could tell that there were probably millions of books.
Zhou Shu casually flipped open a book and discovered that the words used in this world were actually similar to those used in the ancestral land. Although he didn’t recognize some of the words, he could roughly figure out the meaning.
With no one around to disturb him, Zhou Shu began to read in the book depository.
Wu Suchen had a lot of books of all types. From historical books to mystic techniques manuals and novels, he had almost everything.
Zhou Shu even suspected that Wu Suchen had collected all the books in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
To others, their first reaction after coming here was probably to find those books on mystic techniques and forging.
But to Zhou Shu, none of these were important. He found the bookshelf where the history books were and flipped through them one by one.
…
In the following days, Wu Suchen appeared a few more times. But after seeing Zhou Shu engrossed in reading, he was quite satisfied. He didn’t disturb Zhou Shu and only instructed his servants to take care of him. Then he went into seclusion to refine dharma treasures.
Zhou Shu didn’t care at all about Wu Suchen’s movements.
He was immersed in the history of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Ever since Zhou Shu learned of the existence of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, this was the first time he truly understood the history of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
The history of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom could be traced back almost a million years.
The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom’s Black Emperor had actually been sleeping in the river of time and had never completely woken up.
Once such an existence truly woke up, it would have a tremendous impact.
What had always existed was not the main body of the Black Emperor but only a projection of him.
A projection ruled the world. The Black Emperor’s true strength was much higher than Zhou Shu had imagined.
But this wasn’t important. If the Black Emperor’s main body wouldn’t wake up so easily, then what he needed to worry about wasn’t the Black Emperor’s main body.
Of course, just a projection was enough to give him a headache.
The Black Emperor’s projection in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was not a wisp of soul like Cao Chenyang. Cao Chenyang’s wisp of soul was split from the Black Emperor’s projection, and his strength was inferior to the Black Emperor’s projection.
In fact, the real reason why the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wanted to invade the ancestral land was to awaken the Black Emperor’s main body.
According to the records Zhou Shu had read in the history books, back then, the Five Leaves and the One Flower were originally one. Later, when the Five Leaves bloomed, it was the Five Leaves that broke off with the One Flower.
The historical records of this breakup were vague, but Zhou Shu could roughly guess that either the Five Leaves had betrayed One Flower or One Flower had betrayed the Five Leaves.
In short, the outcome was a lose-lose situation.
The Heavenly Court fell, and the Black Emperor, one of the paragons of the Five Leaves, was seriously injured. From then on, he slept in the river of time and couldn’t wake up easily.
It was precisely because of this that the Black Emperor hated the Heavenly Court so much. It was why the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wanted to kill the remnants of the Heavenly Court.
Back then, the ancestral land was under the rule of the Heavenly Court, so the people of the ancestral land were treated as remnants of the Heavenly Court by the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
The historical records are vague, but the Black Emperor shouldn’t be just seriously injured. Zhou Shu pondered. Since the Heavenly Court was so powerful back then, and just an envoy could severely injure the Black Emperor, shouldn’t the master of the Heavenly Court be even stronger? It’s very likely that the Black Emperor was suppressed.
If the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wants to invade the ancestral land to find the method left behind by the Heavenly Court to liberate the Black Emperor, then everything makes sense.
But what exactly suppressed the Black Emperor? What methods does the ancestral land have to save him?
Zhou Shu thought for a long time but couldn’t think of an answer.
Who cares why you’re doing it? I won’t let you invade the ancestral land.
Zhou Shu decided not to think too much about it. Wu Suchen is the number one refiner in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. This is the weapon factory of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. You want to invade the ancestral land? I’ll make sure you have no weapons to use. When the time comes, let’s see how arrogant you can be!
