Chapter 661 - 831 Crippling an Arm With One Finger
661 The Abnormal Shi Changsheng, The Secret of the Cosmic Cauldron (2)
“Who said that cauldrons must have three legs and a round belly shape?” Shi Changsheng said. “The first cauldron in this world was forged by surnamed Diao. That’s why you have this preconception.
“The Cosmic Cauldron was created even before the first cauldron in the world. It’s not what you think it looks like. What’s so strange about it?”
“But isn’t the difference too great?” Zhou Shu said speechlessly.
He no longer cared if Shi Changsheng had revealed some ancient secrets. The master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was surnamed Diao, and he had forged the imperial cauldrons. But he could forget about these things if he could hear more useful information from Shi Changsheng.
!!
“How do I use this thing?” Zhou Shu asked.
While speaking, he had already probed with his spiritual essence. He injected his spiritual essence into it, but there was no reaction.
No matter how he looked at it, it still looked like a rock, not an impressive peerless divine weapon.
If not for Shi Changsheng’s certainty, Zhou Shu would have thought that he was old and blind.
“Young fellow, you’re interesting.” Shi Changsheng glanced at Zhou Shu. “I’ve already brought you food. Do you want me to feed you too?
“The Cosmic Cauldron doesn’t belong to me. How would I know how to use it? This is all I can help you with. The rest is up to you.”
His body turned into specks of light. The Longevity Sword buzzed and pierced through the clouds to patrol the territory.
Zhou Shu was left alone in a daze as he stared at the rock that was supposedly the Cosmic Cauldron.
Apart from Shi Changsheng confidently saying that it was the Cosmic Cauldron, this thing was an ordinary rock in every other aspect.
If it was a cauldron, it had to at least have a s.p.a.ce. Otherwise, how could it forge?
But even after Zhou Shu injected his spiritual essence, he didn’t discover anything different.
Zhou Shu almost wanted to attack it and give it a try. But thinking about how the Heaven and Earth Furnace had been shattered by Xiaoyu’er’s smack, who knew if the Cosmic Cauldron could withstand his attack?
“Shi Changsheng…” Zhou Shu smiled bitterly. He had tried all the methods he could think of, but he still couldn’t verify that this rock was the Cosmic Cauldron.
In his opinion, the peerless divine weapon Shi Changsheng mentioned was a real rock!
Looking at the rock, Zhou Shu felt that it was a little troublesome.
This rock was nine feet tall, and his Cosmic Bangle only had five feet square worth of s.p.a.ce. It couldn’t contain the Cosmic Cauldron at all.
Shi Changsheng really gave me a difficult problem. Zhou Shu rubbed his glabella.
It would have been fine if he didn’t know. Since he knew that this rock was the Cosmic Cauldron, he was too worried to leave it here.
It didn’t matter how it was used. Since it was something good, it belonged to him. He couldn’t lose it.
After all, this Yuheng Valley isn’t really my territory. It’s not safe. Zhou Shu pondered. Forget it. It’s just a rock anyway. It’s not that heavy. I’ll just carry it.
“Say, if only you could be smaller.” Zhou Shu patted the Cosmic Cauldron as the myths he had seen in his previous life appeared in his mind.
In the end, the scene in the myths naturally didn’t happen. The nine-foot-tall boulder didn’t change at all. Smaller? It was impossible to become smaller!
When Hu Li opened his eyes again, he saw Zhou Shu walking over with a large rock.
Confusion flashed across his face. Is this what Zhou Shu enjoys doing in his home? Why is he carrying a rock? Is there something wrong with him?
“You—” Hu Li coughed and said, “I don’t think there’s any danger in Yuheng Valley. Why did this place become a forbidden area of the Demon Realm?”
Looking at Hu Li’s serious expression, Zhou Shu couldn’t help thinking of a sentence…
As soon as demonic beasts start pondering, humans start laughing…
“There’s danger, but you followed me in, so you can’t feel it,” Zhou Shu explained seriously. “Otherwise, why do you think Demon King Ao and the others don’t dare to chase in? The Demon Kings know more than you do.”
“That’s true.” Hu Li nodded in agreement. “Why are you moving a rock? Do you need my help?”
“Yes!” Zhou Shu said firmly.
It was silly to carry a rock.
It just so happened that Hu Li was big, so this job was more suitable for him.
Zhou Shu threw the Cosmic Cauldron to Hu Li.
Hu Li reached out his two large hands to catch it. The next moment, what happened made Zhou Shu’s eyes widen.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Hu Li landed on all fours, directly embedded in the ground. The Cosmic Cauldron pressed him down like a mountain.
Hu Li was stunned. What just happened?
Zhou Shu was also puzzled. He hadn’t felt that the Cosmic Cauldron was heavy when he carried it over.
With Hu Li’s cultivation, how could such a rock suppress him?
“Ah!” Hu Li shouted, and his muscles bulged. He placed his hands and feet on the ground, and his body left the ground. Then he lay back down with a bang.
“Hu Li, are you alright?” Zhou Shu had a strange expression on his face. He took two steps forward and reached out to lift the Cosmic Cauldron.
Only then did Hu Li get up from the ground and look at the Cosmic Cauldron in bewilderment. “Isn’t this just a rock? Why is it so heavy?”
“Try again!” Zhou Shu placed the Cosmic Cauldron on the ground and gestured to Hu Li.
Hu Li didn’t believe it either. He took two steps forward, hugged the Cosmic Cauldron with both arms, and began to exert his strength.
…
After a while, Hu Li gave up with a flushed face. No matter how hard he tried, the rock didn’t move.
Hu Li felt embarra.s.sed that he couldn’t even move a rock.
But Zhou Shu didn’t notice his embarra.s.sment. He rubbed his chin in thought. Shi Changsheng really isn’t lying. The Cosmic Cauldron might really contain a universe inside.
With Hu Li’s strength, he could move a small mountain, but he couldn’t move the Cosmic Cauldron.
But when Zhou Shu moved it, it felt no different from an ordinary rock.
Could it be because Hu Li is a demonic beast?
Can this Cosmic Cauldron distinguish between humans and demonic beasts?
That’s not right!
Zhou Shu frowned. The reason why Shi Changsheng didn’t want the Cosmic Cauldron might not be that he didn’t want it. It was also possible that he couldn’t take it!
A thought appeared in his mind. Am I the only one who can move this Cosmic Cauldron?
Zhou Shu had always been a person who knew his limits. He had never felt that he was anything special, nor did he feel that this world couldn’t exist without him.
What was special about him was that he had the Legendary Armament Canon…
But this Cosmic Cauldron shouldn’t have anything to do with the Legendary Armament Canon. Could it be his bloodline?
That was even more impossible. His current body had a clean background. For three generations, his family had been Forging Apprentices of Great Xia’s Forging Division. It was impossible for him to be related to the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.
What other reason could it be that the Cosmic Cauldron doesn’t reject me? Zhou Shu pondered. Suddenly, he thought of something.
He remembered something and flipped his wrist. A jade token appeared in his hand.
The library of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was a jade token that Ji Lutian had asked Yao Yi from the Nine Heavens Nine Sections to pa.s.s to him!
This was the only thing he had that was related to the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!
Just as Zhou Shu took out the jade pendant, the Cosmic Cauldron suddenly emitted a powerful light. The jade pendant in his hand flew toward the Cosmic Cauldron with a whoosh.
Boom!
The two collided, emitting a powerful light.
Zhou Shu’s eyes widened. He saw that the jade pendant seemed to fuse with the Cosmic Cauldron, and the Cosmic Cauldron seemed to become completely transparent, revealing its unique interior.
Buzz—
The Cosmic Cauldron let out a buzzing sound, and then its entire body trembled, giving Zhou Shu a feeling that it was about to fly.
The next moment, it really flew up!
Just like the Demon Suppressing Tower, it was about to fly into the sky!
