Chapter 1308 Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces, Seventy-Two Treasure Palaces (2)
"Qin Emperor, please." Emperor Yuan Feng made an inviting gesture as if he was the master.
The Qin emperor shook his head. "Xia Emperor, you"re more senior than me. Naturally, you should go first."
Emperor Yuan Feng smiled and asked the soldier guarding the door, "Young general, where is your king?"
"If you follow the steps up, someone will naturally receive you," the soldier said without turning his head.
He was standing outside the mountain gate with a spear in his hand. As long as no one caused trouble, nothing else was his responsibility.
"Father!"
At this moment, a crisp voice came from the steps.
It was Yin Wuyou rushing over.
She arrived in front of Emperor Yuan Feng and complained a little, "Father, since you wanted to come early, why didn"t you send someone to inform me so that I could make arrangements?"
"I"m just afraid that you have too much to do and are too busy. I don"t want to cause trouble for you." Emperor Yuan Feng chuckled.
"Aren"t you causing trouble now?" Yin Wuyou snapped.
"Girl, how can you speak like that in front of outsiders? Do you want me to lose my dignity?"
Although Emperor Yuan Feng said this, he still looked at the Qin emperor proudly. In the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, I, Yuan Feng, am not an outsider.
"Alright," Yin Wuyou said helplessly. "Father, Qin Emperor, please follow me. Zhou Shu is still in seclusion. Please forgive us for our lack of hospitality."
The Qin emperor hurriedly said. "It"s fine. I came early.
"I wanted to come a few days earlier to see if I had a chance to ask the Side-by-side King some questions. It seems that I"m unlucky."
Although he was talking about the Side-by-side King, the Qin emperor"s att.i.tude was very humble.
Although many people still addressed Zhou Shu as king, no one felt that Zhou Shu was inferior to the emperors of the Ten Nations.
On the contrary, the emperors of the Ten Nations always spoke softly in front of Zhou Shu.
Back then, when the Grotto-Heaven Masters were still around, the Ten Nations had been va.s.sals of the Grotto-Heavens.
Now that the Grotto-Heaven Masters were gone, all the Grotto-Heavens followed Zhou Shu"s lead.
In a sense, Zhou Shu was already the number one person in the world.
Even the Qin emperor had to lower himself in front of Zhou Shu.
Yin Wuyou led the two of them up. As they walked, she introduced the current Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. "The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was originally a Grotto-Heaven Master"s grotto-heaven. But now, we"ve already returned it to the world. It"s no longer an independent s.p.a.ce but has become one with the world again.
"It"s just that we built something on the foundation of the original Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, which is why it"s like this now."
Yin Wuyou said proudly, "Everything you see now is a connate divine weapon forged by our Huaxia Pavilion"s forgers."
Emperor Yuan Feng and the Qin emperor were both shocked.
Apart from the mighty memorial arch, there was also this long staircase in front of them. In the distance, there were even pavilions hidden in the clouds.
Were these all connate divine weapons?
Emperor Yuan Feng said, "Wuyou, you"re saying that these buildings are all connate divine weapons?"
Not to mention how difficult it was to forge buildings as connate divine weapons, just the cost…
Emperor Yuan Feng was speechless just thinking about it.
"Of course," Yin Wuyou said proudly. "If they"re not connate divine weapons, how can they float in the air? There"s no land in the Endless Sea."
"Princess Wuyou, how many buildings are there here now?" the Qin emperor asked in shock.
"According to our plan, there should be thirty-six heavenly palaces and seventy-two treasure palaces for a total of one hundred and eight buildings. But they"re not completed yet. We"ve only built eighteen heavenly palaces," Yin Wuyou said.
"This…"
Such extravagance stunned the two emperors.
How much would it take to forge 108 connate divine weapons that were buildings?
"Wuyou, do you have so many forging materials? Do you need Great Xia"s support?" Emperor Yuan Feng asked.
"Great Qin can support you too." The Qin emperor hurriedly expressed his goodwill.
"No need." Yin Wuyou shook her head. "Our Huaxia Pavilion"s reserves are enough to forge so many buildings.
"Not only that, but Zhou Shu also said that the goal of our Huaxia Pavilion is for human martial artists to each have a connate divine weapon."
"How is that possible?" the Qin emperor cried out.
How many human martial artists were there?
It was not a lot to say that it was billions.
Even if the Ten Nations used all their strength, they wouldn"t be able to forge so many connate divine weapons.
Take Great Qin for example. There were probably only a hundred and eighty connate divine weapons in the entire Great Qin.
The other nations might not even have as many as Great Qin.
If Yin Wuyou wasn"t the one who said this, the Qin emperor would have laughed on the spot.
"Of course not yet." Yin Wuyou said seriously, "But one has to have dreams. Otherwise, what"s the difference between people and a salted fish?
"This is the goal of our Huaxia Pavilion. As long as we persevere, we will realize it one day."
There was no doubt in Yin Wuyou"s eyes.
Zhou Shu had done everything he had said.
Although it sounded like a fantasy, Zhou Shu could definitely do it if he wanted to.
There was nothing in this world that her man couldn"t do.
"Side-by-side King, how bold." The Qin emperor took a deep breath.
"Princess Wuyou, may I know why the Side-by-side King invited us here? Great Qin will definitely cooperate fully."
This was also what he had thought about carefully for many days.
He didn"t know what Zhou Shu wanted to do. He didn"t even know if Zhou Shu wanted to annex the Ten Nations.
But he knew that if Zhou Shu really wanted to do something, the Ten Nations wouldn"t be able to resist.
Instead of letting Zhou Shu use force, it was better for him to express his stance right away.
The reason he had come a few days earlier was that he wanted to take the initiative.
At the worst, if Zhou Shu really wanted to annex the Ten Nations, as the first to join him, he might be able to get more benefits.
Yin Wuyou glanced at the Qin emperor and then at her father. "What you"re worried about won"t happen.
"Zhou Shu has no interest in being the Paragon of the world. If he wanted to, he could have been an emperor back then.
"He won"t annex the Ten Nations. Your position as emperor won"t change."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Of course, the premise is that you have to cooperate. If you really don"t, we don"t mind changing the emperor of any nation."
"Girl, are you scaring your father?" Emperor Yuan Feng said.
"Father, I"m serious," Yin Wuyou said solemnly. "I can"t tell you about this yet, but I want to tell you that what Zhou Shu is going to discuss with you this time is very important."
The expressions of Emperor Yuan Feng and the Qin emperor turned grave at the same time. Yin Wuyou was Emperor Yuan Feng"s daughter. Since she said so, it meant that it was really a very important matter.
It seemed that the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was serious this time.
"Wuyou, what exactly is it that you can"t even tell me?" Emperor Yuan Feng said seriously.
"It"s not that I can"t tell you, but it"s not time yet," Yin Wuyou said. "Father, Zhou Shu called everyone over this time to tell everyone the truth. Father, wait patiently for a few more days. At that time, everything will be clear."
Emperor Yuan Feng frowned. But since Yin Wuyou said so, if he asked again, he would be asking for trouble.
"Forget it. I"ll listen to you," Emperor Yuan Feng said. "Let"s not talk about this first. Wuyou, it"s rare for me to come here. I have to take a good look at this place and see if my good daughter has suffered any grievances."
"Please." Yin Wuyou made an inviting gesture. "I"ll bring you to where you"ll be staying to take a look first. For the next few days, you can have fun without worrying about anything."
