Chapter 566: Chance to Enter the Top Ten of the Connate Armament Manual (2)

The few Grand Craftsmen glared at each other.
“Stop arguing. Whether it was a mule or a horse, you will know once you bring it out for a walk,” Shi Songtao interrupted. These Grand Craftsmen weren’t the only ones who were qualified to read the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain’s forging legacy. There was also Shi Songtao.
It was completely possible that after the pavilion master, he would become the second person to forge a connate divine weapon.
“You have a point, Deputy Pavilion Master.”
The Grand Craftsmen nodded.
!!
“Then, let’s see who can be the first to forge the eighth connate divine weapon in the Connate Armament Manual!”
“Well…” a Forging Master suddenly said. “Grand Craftsmen, you don’t seem to have a chance…”
“What?” The Grand Craftsmen all turned to glare at the one who spoke.
This Forging Master shrank back in fear and pointed weakly at the Connate Armament Manual projected on the wall.
Everyone looked over, and it became abnormally quiet again.
On the Connate Weapon Manual that originally only had seven weapons, another connate divine weapon had appeared out of nowhere.
Eighth on Connate Weapon Manual, Spring Embroidered Saber!
After a long time, Li Chengliang slowly spoke. “Do you think His Highness is planning to upgrade all the weapons he has forged into connate divine weapons?”
The Grand Craftsmen looked at each other, then at the jade talisman in Shi Songtao’s hand.
“Quick, we must master the forging techniques of connate divine weapons as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will never get the chance to rank in the top ten of the Connate Armament Manual!”
Now, there were already eight connate divine weapons. If the king forged two more connate divine weapons, the top ten spots in the Connate Armament Manual would be filled.
At that time, no one was confident that they could s.n.a.t.c.h a spot from Zhou Shu.
This might be their last chance to rank in the top ten of the Connate Armament Manual!
…
The commotion in the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch didn’t affect Zhou Shu, who was disguised as Yao Qing.
After forging two connate divine weapons in a row, he felt a little tired.
Forging connate divine weapons consumed a lot of mental and physical strength. Even he had reached his limit after forging two in a row.
He put the Connate Spring Embroidered Saber into his Cosmic Bangle before looking at Yin Chengshan, who had been staying here.
“So? How’s the Connate Flaming Sunset Saber compared to the Flaming Sunset Saber?” Zhou Shu smiled.
“There’s no way to compare,” Yin Chengshan said. “I followed your guidance and refined the Connate Flaming Sunset Saber into my intrinsic divine weapon. I feel that my cultivation speed has increased a lot. In the past, I was the only one absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. But now, it seems like there’s another person helping me absorb it.
“Although I can’t say that my cultivation speed has doubled, it has definitely increased by thirty percent.”
This was a pleasant surprise for Yin Chengshan. In the past, he would never have thought that a connate divine weapon would have such an effect.
The more he understood the use of the connate divine weapon, the more grateful he was to Zhou Shu.
Because of this connate divine weapon, his cultivation had even broken through to the Grandmaster realm in one go. If he could return to the Ten Nations Continent in the future, with his current cultivation, he could already become a marquis.
Even if he died ten thousand times, it would be difficult for him to repay this kindness.
“If it didn’t have this effect, it can’t be called a connate divine weapon.” Zhou Shu was very calm. “The greatest benefit of the connate divine weapon is not this but its growth. In the future, the longer you nurture it, the greater its power.
“You’ll find that out soon enough.”
“Yes, Your Highness,” Yin Chengshan said respectfully.
“Your Highness, when you were forging just now, Yao Yi from the Nine Heavens Nine Sections came. I chased him back as you instructed.”
“Yao Yi?” Zhou Shu snorted. “Go get him. I want to hear what he wants.”
Ji Lutian had sent 108 demonic beasts from the Nine Heavens Nine Sections to help him. In name, he had sent them to help his son, Yao Qing.
But both Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian knew very well how capable Yao Qing was. As his father, how could Ji Lutian not know?
He didn’t expose Zhou Shu because of their tacit understanding.
At first, Zhou Shu was a little grateful to Ji Lutian.
But his grat.i.tude for Ji Lutian had turned into deep fear.
Before the Nine Heavens Nine Sections arrived, Ji Lutian had asked Cao Chenyang to bring Zhou Shu a Divine Stone.
At the time, Zhou Shu hadn’t thought much of it. He had originally wanted to study the nature of the Divine Stone and see how it could be used to forge.
In the Heavenly Hub Armory, when Zhou Shu completed forging the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da, he discovered that what the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da lacked was the Divine Stone!
Or rather, it was precisely by refining the Divine Stone into the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da that the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da was successfully forged!
Zhou Shu didn’t believe that this was a coincidence!
It could only be said that everything from Cao Chenyang and the others finding Ji Lutian to what happened in the Heavenly Hub Armory was all part of Ji Lutian’s plan!
He had successfully forged the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da with Zhou Shu’s help. If Zhou Shu didn’t have the Legendary Armament Canon, he wouldn’t have been able to obtain any benefits after the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da flew away.
After he left the Heavenly Hub Armory, he had repeatedly thought about the entire process. Even after reflecting on it, he still couldn’t find any flaws.
No matter how he looked at it, the entire matter had nothing to do with Ji Lutian. Everything was just his guess, but Even this guess was a little shocking.
How could Ji Lutian, a first-rank martial artist, scheme against an existence like Demon Queen Tushan?
And how did he know about the Heavenly Hub Armory?
It was incredible to be able to factor all this in.
Even Zhou Shu wasn’t sure if he could see the relationship between the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da and the Divine Stone.
Actually, there was no evidence pointing to Ji Lutian, but Zhou Shu didn’t need any evidence to suspect him.
He was now certain that Ji Lutian had planned this!
No matter what the truth was, he had determined this!
Once he was so certain, he felt that there was something wrong with everything.
Nine Heavens Nine Sections, did this have something to do with the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain’s obsession with the number ‘9’?
The Heavenly Hub Armory was a nine-heaven divine weapon, and the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da also had nine levels…
The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Shu felt that Ji Lutian was suspicious!
Although he had yet to figure it out, if Ji Lutian had really planned these things, what was his motive?
Only for the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da?
Ji Lutian was also a forger. Why didn’t he complete the forging of the Demon Subduing PaG.o.da?
These were all things that Zhou Shu couldn’t figure out.
Since there was something wrong with Ji Lutian, there must also be something wrong with these demonic beasts of the Nine Heavens Nine Sections.
Although Zhou Shu had never trusted Yao Yi and the others, he really wanted to know why Ji Lutian had sent Yao Yi and the other demonic beasts over.
A moment later, Yin Chengshan had already brought Yao Yi over.
Zhou Shu gestured for Yin Chengshan to stand guard outside the door. Then he looked at Yao Yi and said, “Why are you looking for me?”
“Young Master.” Yao Yi bowed respectfully. “Teacher asked me to give this to you.”
“What is this?” Zhou Shu looked at the item in Yao Yi’s hand and didn’t reach out to take it.
“I don’t know.” Yao Yi shook his head.
“My—father, your teacher, where is he now?” Zhou Shu asked.
“I don’t know.” Yao Yi shook his head.
“If you don’t know anything, then who gave you this thing?” Zhou Shu frowned.
Yao Yi said seriously, “Teacher gave it to me before we came here.
“Teacher said that if I see a phenomenon in the east one day, I should give this to you, Young Master.
“A few days ago, there was indeed a phenomenon in the east. I’ve been wanting to give it to you, Young Master. But you’ve been in seclusion, so I delayed it until now. I hope it won’t delay Teacher’s matters.”
Yao Yi spoke with reverence. It was obvious that he really admired Ji Lutian to the extreme.
