Chapter 1302 The Return of the Heroic Spirits (2)
"Alright, I brought back the Longevity Sword. Your Highness, the Freedom Transformation Technique…" Mu Zhixing said expectantly.
"There"s no hurry. What"s yours will be yours sooner or later. It can"t escape," Zhou Shu said indifferently. "Let me settle these ancient heroic spirits first."
He raised his hand with a solemn expression.
A small island appeared in his palm and swelled with the wind.
In an instant, the island returned to its original size.
It floated quietly in the air. The wind howled, and the tombstones on the island seemed to emit a faint light.
Everyone even heard murmurs. These voices were full of joy.
A few figures shot over like lightning.
They were Ji Lutian, the Demon Ancestor, and Yao Qing.
The Demon Ancestor, who was the Qingqiu King back then, trembled slightly. Ji Lutian held her hand, and both of them looked extremely sad.
Yao Qing bowed deeply and slowly said, "Everyone, welcome home!"
Two streams of tears rolled down his cheeks.
Yao Qing was the Bai Ze King Bai Yue in his previous life. He had once partic.i.p.ated in the war back then.
These people had once been his comrades. Back then, they had risked their lives and fought side by side.
Now that he had reincarnated, he didn"t know if these comrades would still have this chance.
Ji Lutian stepped forward and asked, "Zhou Shu, what"s going on in the outside world?"
He looked a little excited. He was very familiar with these ancient races back then. Back then, he and Cang Hao had dominated the ancient races.
"The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom…" Zhou Shu didn"t hide anything and told Ji Lutian about the Five Leaves Blooming on One Flower.
Ji Lutian looked thoughtful. "The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom… They"re actually so powerful. How can we stop them?"
He had lived since ancient times. All these years, he had been trying to resist the invasion of the enemies from the outside world.
Now that he heard what Zhou Shu said, he felt despair.
Just the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was already so powerful. What about the other four heavenly kingdoms?
This wasn"t something they could resist at all.
"We definitely can"t stop them now." Zhou Shu shook his head. "But it won"t be so easy for them to fight their way in. At worst, we"ll part ways.
"Even if I have to destroy this ancestral land, I won"t let it fall into the hands of the Black Emperor."
Zhou Shu"s expression was very calm, but no one would think that he was joking.
At that time, he might really destroy the ancestral land.
Mu Zhixing was a little shocked. All along, he had felt that Zhou Shu was a gentle person. Although he sometimes looked decisive, most of the time, Mu Zhixing didn"t think that he was anything to be afraid of.
But now, he suddenly realized that there was a volcano hidden under Zhou Shu"s calm appearance!
He couldn"t afford to offend this person.
Mu Zhixing raised his guard.
Ji Lutian nodded. "The remains of these brothers?"
"The ancient races have already disappeared, and they have no descendants left." Zhou Shu sighed. "But they sacrificed themselves for the sake of the ancestral land. Someone should remember their achievements."
Zhou Shu said solemnly, "I will bury them on the continent and let the world know their achievements."
"On their behalf, thank you, Master." Yao Qing knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zhou Shu shook his head. "Get up. You have friendship with them, and so do I. Some of them were my friends back then."
There were many people from the griffin race and the giant spirit race who had once been friends with Zhou Shu.
Looking at their tombstones, Zhou Shu sighed with emotion.
For the sake of the ancestral land, these warriors had sacrificed their lives. Zhou Shu definitely couldn"t let their efforts be in vain!
"Mu Zhixing, do you see this?" Zhou Shu suddenly said.
Mu Zhixing was in a daze. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "See what?"
"The remains of these heroic spirits," Zhou Shu said calmly. "Ten thousand years ago, the Black Emperor attempted to invade the ancestral land. The ancient races of the ancestral land were wiped out.
"Even though the ancient races were wiped out, the Black Emperor was unable to invade this world.
"Although we"re weak, if anyone wants to invade us, we"re not afraid of war."
Zhou Shu"s voice was cold, making the hair on Mu Zhixing"s back stand on end.
"Your Highness, don"t misunderstand. Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has no intention of invading you," Mu Zhixing said. "We"re friends. Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has always liked peace. What we hate the most are those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who invade others.
"It"s just that I don"t have the ability. Otherwise, I would have even suppressed the Black Emperor."
"Don"t worry. I promise you that our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom will definitely not invade the ancestral land!"
"Do you have the final say?" Zhou Shu said calmly. "But it doesn"t matter. I"m just telling you a fact.
"It doesn"t matter even if your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom colludes with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. It"s just a fight to the death.
"I can tell you that even if all of us humans die, don"t even think about obtaining this world!"
"I believe that you can do it, Your Highness. I"ll say it again. Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom definitely doesn"t have that intention!" Mu Zhixing patted his chest.
But he was cursing in his heart. You call this weak? If anyone dares to say that someone cultivating the Freedom Transformation Technique is weak, they are blind.
Do you think I didn"t see it? You only made a trip to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom but turned it upside down.
I knew that the Freedom Transformation Technique was extremely powerful. Now, I know that the Freedom Transformation Technique is even more powerful than I imagined!
Mu Zhixing had already begun to imagine what would happen after he obtained the Freedom Transformation Technique. His apt.i.tude was much better than Zhou Shu"s.
If Zhou Shu was already so powerful after obtaining the Freedom Transformation Technique, what about Mu Zhixing?
At the thought of this, Mu Zhixing felt all the cells in his body become active.
Zhou Shu only glanced at him before turning his head away. "Yao Qing."
Yao Qing wiped the tears off his face and said solemnly, "Yes."
"I want to gather the emperors of the Ten Nations for a meeting," Zhou Shu said. "Go tell them that I"ll be waiting for them in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven on the night of August 15th! Tell Yao Buqi to come too."
With that, Zhou Shu turned to Ji Lutian and the Demon Ancestor. "Ji Lutian, Demon Ancestor, I want the two of you to completely subdue the entire Demon Realm as soon as possible.
"Demon Ancestor, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm are all your disciples and grand-disciples. If you can"t subdue them before August 15th, don"t blame me for personally wiping them out of this world."
Zhou Shu"s voice was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent.
After returning from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Zhou Shu once again realized the difference between the human race and the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
The disparity was too great. Zhou Shu could no longer let the human race slowly develop on their own.
He had to speed up. Otherwise, once Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom launched an invasion, no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to stop them.
"Leave it to me," the Demon Ancestor, the Qingqiu King, said gravely.
Ji Lutian said, "Don"t worry. We"ve been busy with this for the past few days. The demonic beasts of the Demon Realm won"t pose a threat."
Zhou Shu nodded. He was relieved with Ji Lutian and his wife around.
Zhou Shu turned to w.a.n.g Xuanyi and Diao Moye, "Senior w.a.n.g, I have something to ask of the two of you."
"Please tell me," w.a.n.g Xuanyi said.
"There might be hidden Grotto-Heaven Masters in this world. I hope the two of you can find them. I hope that all the Grotto-Heaven realm almighties in this world will partic.i.p.ate in the meeting on August 15th."
Zhou Shu said seriously, "They should know about the crisis of this world. The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom may come at any time. We don"t have time."
