Chapter 530: Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Ji Lutian Sends Someone Over (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nine heavens was already so powerful. If Zhou Shu could really forge thirty-three heavens, it would definitely be unbelievably powerful.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. When he was discussing the forging method of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace with Shi Changsheng, Shi Changsheng had included a lot of his own opinions. He also knew what the so-called thirty-three heavens meant.
It meant that a divine weapon had its own s.p.a.ce within, which was different from the Cosmic Bangle.
The Cosmic Bangle had a five-foot-square s.p.a.ce inside. It could store items, but it was definitely not qualified to be called a heaven.
The s.p.a.ce referring to a heaven was a real world, just like the world in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven!
!!
Not to mention the Cosmic Bangle, even if he managed to forge the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, it wouldn’t even have one heaven.
It was impossible for Zhou Shu to forge a one-heaven divine weapon with his current strength.
He couldn’t even reach one heaven, let alone thirty-three heavens. Therefore, what Shi Changsheng was saying now was simply nonsense.
Since it was impossible to accelerate time, he would have to find another way.
Zhou Shu thought of using the same trick again.
It would take him years or even decades to build the Lingxiao Treasure Palace alone, but what if many people came together?
The a.s.sembly-line forging method he had ‘invented’ had pa.s.sed the test of real-world usage and worked very well.
The problem was that his current ident.i.ty was Yao Qing, not Zhou Shu.
There were not many forgers under him that he could use at all. Even Zhang Chunlin’s experienced Forging Masters could only be of some use.
Zhang Chunlin and the others weren’t Zhou Shu’s subordinates. Zhou Shu didn’t trust them yet.
I have to think of a way to get more forgers to help.
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin in thought. If I can get Shi Songtao and Li Chengliang here, the speed of forging the Lingxiao Treasure Palace will definitely increase greatly.
But my divine ability Myriad Transformations can only transform up to five people. Even if I risked bringing them here, it wouldn’t solve the fundamental problem.
Zhou Shu sighed. He was already considering whether to secretly use the Ming Hong Saber to kill some demons and improve his divine ability Myriad Transformations.
Before he could take action, Demon King Hu Li gave him a surprise.
“Nephew Yao Qing, you’ve worked hard these days.”
Hu Li looked at the blueprint that Zhou Shu had drawn according to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace in the Legendary Armament Canon and praised admiringly, “This will definitely leave Demon King Ao’s lousy palace in the dust!”
“As long as you like it.” Zhou Shu spoke casually, but he thought, When the Lingxiao Treasure Palace is successfully forged, I’ll just let you take a few looks. Do you really think that I’m working so hard to forge it for you?
Dream on!
“Aren’t you going into seclusion to cultivate your divine powers? Why did you come here?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
“Didn’t you receive a message from your father?”
Demon King Hu Li’s words made Zhou Shu’s hair stand on end.
Yao Qing’s father?
“Your father heard that you were helping me forge the Demon King Palace and specially sent some people to help you.”
Demon King Hu Li didn’t notice Zhou Shu’s reaction. He continued speaking as he admired the blueprint.
“They’re all disciples your father has taken in over the years. I didn’t expect your father to be so generous this time and send them over to help me build the Demon King Palace. Both of you are too kind.”
Demon King Hu Li looked touched, but Zhou Shu groaned inwardly.
Is my plan going to be ruined before I can execute it?
It’s a pity that I’ve yet to take away many forging materials!
Yao Qing’s father’s disciples must be very familiar with Yao Qing.
Although Zhou Shu’s current appearance and aura were flawless, and he even knew Yao Qing’s personality very well due to the dream, he was still not Yao Qing.
If he encountered someone who knew Yao Qing very well, there was a high chance that he would be exposed!
And Yao Qing’s father’s disciples happened to be people who were familiar with Yao Qing!
And how could his father not know where the real Yao Qing was?
Zhou Shu’s first reaction was that he had already been exposed. Demon King Hu Li already knew the truth. He was testing him!
Alarmed, Zhou Shu slowly circulated his spiritual essence.
He was not afraid. Although Demon King Hu Li was a Demon King, he had just broken through.
Zhou Shu had fought a Demon King before, and he had even cut off one of the famous Demon Queen Tushan’s tails.
Although she was in a bad state at the time, she was still a Demon King.
Putting aside the fact whether he could defeat Demon King Hu Li or not, Zhou Shu was at least confident in escaping unscathed.
“Nephew, your fellow disciples are waiting outside. How do you plan to arrange them?” Demon King Hu Li continued.
Zhou Shu looked at Hu Li. There was no change in Hu Li’s face. It was still full of enthusiasm.
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and suppressed the urge to attack immediately. He still couldn’t bear to part with the materials he had painstakingly plundered.
With Demon King Hu Li’s character, it was impossible that his acting was so good.
If he really knew that he was a fake Yao Qing, he would have blown up long ago.
Zhou Shu decided to take a gamble!
Yao Qing’s father was Great Qin’s Grand Craftsman Ji Lutian! Ji Lutian had fallen into the Demon Realm for the sake of Great Qin’s plan. He shouldn’t have betrayed the human race.
Even if he knew that Yao Qing was fake, he might not expose him.
He had sent his disciples. Perhaps he had other plans!
“Where are they?” Zhou Shu asked. “They came at the right time. I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to build the Demon King Palace in time. If I delayed your advancement ceremony, I would have committed an unforgivable sin.”
“Why would I blame you?” Demon King Hu Li laughed. He clapped his hands, and a group jumped in.
Demon King Hu Li had only said that Ji Lutian had sent people over, but Zhou Shu hadn’t expected him to send so many people!
Zhou Shu counted carefully. There were 108 demonic beasts!
Among these 108 demonic beasts, 12 of them were humanoid demonic beasts, and the rest were of different races. But judging from their auras, the weakest among these demonic beasts was at least a third-rank martial artist.
Zhou Shu was really shocked. What has Ji Lutian been doing in the Demon Realm for the past hundred years?
He has actually taken in so many disciples! And they’re all powerful demonic beasts!
When Zhou Shu entered Yao Qing’s dream, he had never seen Ji Lutian or his 108 fellow disciples…
Helpless, Zhou Shu could only cup his hands.
Fortunately, Yao Qing was cold to begin with, so no one would suspect anything if he didn’t speak.
“Greetings, Young Master!” The 108 demonic beasts bowed to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat as if he understood something. These demonic beasts might be subordinates of Yao Qing’s mother and not forces that Ji Lutian had gathered himself. But he said they were his disciples?
“There’s no need to be so polite,” Zhou Shu said coldly with doubt.
The 108 demonic beasts straightened their bodies. One of the humanoid demonic beasts took a step forward and said, “Young Master, we have followed the lord to practice the art of human forging for many years. Although we don’t dare to call ourselves forgers, we have more or less grasped some superficial knowledge.”
The humanoid demonic beast spoke like a human. He was more well-learned than Hu Li and the others.
“Our Nine Heavens Nine Sections have mastered different forging methods. Young Master, please a.s.sign us tasks.”
Only then did Zhou Shu notice that the 108 demonic beasts were clearly divided into nine teams by the clothes they wore. Each team had twelve demonic beasts led by a humanoid demonic beast.
Was this the Nine Heavens Nine Sections that this humanoid demon beast was talking about?
Zhou Shu pondered. “Tell me first what you’ve all mastered. I was focused on cultivating and didn’t pay much attention to your matters.”
