Chapter 552: Crossing the Wall, The Longevity Sword’s Shock (1)

“This is it!” Lu Wenshuang had already left Zhou Shu’s arms. She stood on the ground weakly and pointed at a volcano.
“Here?” Zhou Shu turned to look at the Longevity Sword.
The Longevity Sword floated in the air, its blade trembling slightly.
When others were present, Shi Changsheng would never appear or even make a sound. At such times, he would communicate directly with Zhou Shu through his consciousness.
I can’t be sure without a reference, Shi Changsheng said very conservatively.
!!
Although Shi Changsheng had various problems, in a sense, he and Zhou Shu were allies. Zhou Shu believed that at least for now, Shi Changsheng wouldn’t deliberately deceive him.
If he said he couldn’t be sure, then he probably couldn’t be sure.
“Can we really not use the same method we used before?” Zhou Shu asked in his consciousness.
When they entered the second heaven from the first heaven, Shi Changsheng had used the Longevity Sword to simulate the aura of the ‘key’ to open the pa.s.sageway.
Zhou Shu asked if Shi Changsheng could simulate it again.
“I can’t,” Shi Changsheng said simply. “Other than the Kun Wu Saber, the other keys can only open one level. I only saw the first level key back then. I can’t simulate the aura of the Kun Wu Saber.”
My Longevity Sword is a sword. You want me to simulate the aura of a saber? Aren’t you making things difficult for me?
“The Kun Wu Saber, huh?” Zhou Shu sneered. “Is Tushan testing my ability?
“If I stop here, will my big brother and Yang Hong die?
“In that case, I’ll do as you wish!
“You think you can block my path with a weapon? Dream on!”
Zhou Shu raised his hands, and they instantly turned fiery red.
Even in a s.p.a.ce filled with magma, Lu Wenshuang felt the temperature suddenly rise substantially.
One by one, forging materials flew out of the Cosmic Bangle on Zhou Shu’s wrist and instantly melted into fiery red liquid between his hands.
Zhou Shu had brought these processed forging materials from Hu Li’s territory.
It was the result of Zhang Chunlin and the Nine Heavens Nine Sections’ work over the past few days.
They were originally for forging the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, but now, he could only use a portion of them first.
Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying forging materials with him. Otherwise, he would probably have to follow Shi Changsheng’s suggestion and leave the Heavenly Hub Armory.
The Longevity Sword trembled slightly. If Shi Changsheng appeared now, he would definitely be shocked.
Shi Changsheng could tell at a glance that Zhou Shu wanted to forge a Kun Wu Saber!
The Kun Wu Saber was a unique weapon of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have become the key to the Heavenly Hub Armory.
Only the direct descendants of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain could master its secret forging formula.
It was impossible for Zhou Shu to have a secret forging formula for the Kun Wu Saber. He wanted to forge an identical Kun Wu Saber just by seeing one?
Wasn’t he underestimating the Kun Wu Saber too much?
“Little Zhou, a weapon isn’t just based on its appearance. Even if you forge a saber that’s identical to the Kun Wu Saber, it’s useless if it’s not the Kun Wu Saber.” Shi Changsheng’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s consciousness. “There are no two identical divine weapons in the world. Even weapons forged according to the same forging formula won’t be exactly the same.
“There’s only one Kun Wu Saber in the world.
“You’re doing useless work now. Listen to me. Don’t waste this time. It’s just two people. If they die, they die. There might be some forging materials left in the second heaven of the Heavenly Hub Armory. Let’s look for more. Then I’ll think of a way out—”
“Old Shi, be quiet,” Zhou Shu said in his consciousness.
His expression was grave, but his hands were steady as he methodically went through the motions of forging.
Zhou Shu naturally knew what Shi Changsheng was saying.
His forging skills were already quite accomplished. In today’s world, even without relying on the Legendary Armament Canon, he could still rank among the top few.
Zhou Shu knew very well that there were no two identical divine weapons in the world.
It was like humans. Identical twins might look like the same person, but they were definitely not the same person.
But Shi Changsheng was wrong about one thing.
He thought that Zhou Shu was going to forge a Kun Wu Saber, like a new key to the Heavenly Hub Armory.
In fact, what he wanted to forge was not a Kun Wu Saber.
Instead—
An imperial cauldron!
Or rather, it was a replica imperial cauldron!
Zhou Shu had previously obtained the secret forging formula for the imperial cauldron replica from Emperor Wei Wu. Originally, he had destroyed the secret formula and had no intention of helping Emperor Wei Wu forge it.
But now, he had to forge a replica imperial cauldron.
The real imperial cauldrons were the pillars of the barrier between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm. They were the Ten Imperial Cauldrons that jointly formed the barrier between the two worlds to protect the Ten Nations Continent from the invasion of the Demon Realm.
The imperial cauldrons contained the power of s.p.a.ce. Even Zhou Shu couldn’t completely comprehend it.
With his current forging attainments, he was still unable to forge a true imperial cauldron.
But this replica imperial cauldron was a neutered version. Its greatest effect was not to form a spatial barrier but to open a wormhole on the spatial barrier.
According to Zhou Shu’s understanding, the replica imperial cauldron was a one-time use tool to climb over the wall.
