860 The Heavenly Court, The Second Connate Divine Weapon (1)
“Ji Lutian, where did you find this helper? Is there something wrong with him? What is he talking about?” Zheng Jingyun pursed his lips. “If there are more human Grotto-Heaven realm experts, it’s possible for us to defeat the demonic beasts. That goes without saying. Is there a need for him to say that?”
Ji Lutian shook his head slightly. “Brother Zheng, please be patient. We may not have figured out what he’s trying to say.”
Ji Lutian looked at Zhou Shu, his eyes full of curiosity.
“Let’s put it this way. I think the forces in the world today can be divided into three camps.” Zhou Shu went straight to the point.
!!
“You’re not going to say humans, demonic beasts, and Heaven, are you?” Zheng Jingyun said disdainfully.
Zhou Shu looked askance at him and said coldly, “Mr. Ji, does your friend have a low IQ?”
Zheng Jingyun was stunned for a moment before becoming furious. Although he had never heard of the term IQ, from Zhou Shu’s expression, he could understand what Zhou Shu meant.
“Do you want to fight?” He glared at Zhou Shu.
“Do you want a beating?” Zhou Shu said casually.
“Brother Zheng, you’re no match for him.” Ji Lutian held Zheng Jingyun and shook his head.
“Ji Lutian, what nonsense are you saying?” Zheng Jingyun was furious. “Who said that I’d be invincible on the Endless Sea with the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod? Were you talking nonsense?”
Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian rolled their eyes at the same time. Zheng Jingyun’s temper was really the opposite of his appearance.
“It’s true what I said. But I meant when you maximized the power of the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod,” Ji Lutian said helplessly. “You’ve just mastered the incense mystic technique and fused with the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod. Your strength has yet to reach its peak.”
“So what? Do you think I’m afraid of him?!” Zheng Jingyun shouted.
“It’s not a matter of fear,” Ji Lutian said. “Don’t argue with him. Continue.”
When Zheng Jingyun’s irritable temper acted up, it was impossible to talk sense with him, so he could only turn to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu sneered. Although he wasn’t afraid of Zheng Jingyun, he didn’t want to argue with him. If they really fought, he could just use the Heavenly Emperor Jade Book again.
“Demonic beasts are slaves of Heaven. How can they be considered two forces?” Zhou Shu said. “Heaven and demonic beasts are one side, humans are another side, and you two are another side.”
He pointed at Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun.
“Us?” Ji Lutian frowned.
“Or rather, those who cultivate your Dao of Incense are considered the third side,” Zhou Shu said.
“You want to separate those who cultivate the incense mystic technique from the human race?” Ji Lutian frowned.
“I’m not separating them.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’m thinking that we can divert the attention of Heaven.
“When a greater threat than the human race appears, do you think he will still care about the human race?”
“I understand. You want Brother Zheng and me to be bait?” Ji Lutian said.
“Of course, it’s not enough with just the two of you. But what if there are more people who cultivate the Dao of Incense? When your forces are enough to threaten Heaven, how do you think Heaven will treat you?” Zhou Shu said.
“I’ve helped you think of a name. You can call yourselves the Heavenly Court in the future!”
“The Heavenly Court?” Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun were stunned.
“That’s right. The Heavenly Court, the matters in the sky are yours, and the matters in the world belong to the human race,” Zhou Shu said.
Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun were stunned.
“What about demonic beasts?”
“Since there are three forces, there naturally has to be the Three Realms. There are already the owners of the sky and the ground, so they can only go underground,” Zhou Shu said casually.
“The Three Realms, the sky, the ground, and underground…” Ji Lutian frowned in thought. Of course, he knew that Zhou Shu was only using descriptive terms, not actually referring to above the clouds and below the soil.
But his words inspired Ji Lutian.
“What a joke. Who do you think you are? Do we have to do whatever you say?” Zheng Jingyun sneered. “Do you think Heaven doesn’t exist? Where are you putting Heaven?”
“Heaven?” Zhou Shu said calmly. “How can there be Heaven still? The Heavenly Court will replace Heaven!”
“After talking for so long, you’ve only thought of the outcome. If you can win against Heaven, you can do anything you want. If you can’t win against Heaven, everything you’ve said is useless,” Zheng Jingyun said disdainfully. “Tell me. No matter if you’re the human race or the Heavenly Court, how can you defeat those heavenly slaves? How can you defeat Heaven?”
“Aren’t the Dao of Incense and divine weapons our two great weapons? If Grotto-Heaven realm experts are not afraid of even death, what is there to fear from demonic beasts?” Zhou Shu said.
“I’ve said so much because I want you to give those Grotto-Heaven realm experts an attraction.
“As long as they switch to the Dao of Incense, when the Heavenly Court is established in the future, they will be the founding heroes of the dynasty. They can be invested as G.o.ds, enjoy the consecration of human commoners, and be in charge of matters in the heavens. With such an attraction, do you have to worry about them not working hard?
“Of course. This is just an idea of mine. You can think about what to do yourself.”
Zhou Shu shrugged. “We humans will still fight demonic beasts the same way.”
Ji Lutian nodded, his thoughtful expression lingering.
Zheng Jingyun pursed his lips but didn’t mock him anymore.
