âOn the verge of death? What do you mean?â Zhou Shu frowned at Shi Changsheng. He was a little sensitive now. The Longevity Sword could speak and become a person in his consciousness. Could the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space do this too?
A perfectly good space was on the verge of death?
âYou donât understand?â Shi Changsheng glanced at Zhou Shu. âI really donât know how you cultivated to this point.â
Zhou Shu: ââ¦â
Did I beat you too lightly?
The Longevity Sword is really sarcastic!
âYou donât know what the meaning of being on the verge of death is? Itâs dying, understand?â Shi Changsheng said.
âNonsense!â Zhou Shu was furious. How could he not know what it meant? âIâm asking you about this space, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven! Itâs not human. What do you mean itâs dying?â
âSo what if itâs not a human? Youâre prejudiced,â Shi Changsheng said. âEverything in the world has life and death. Why canât the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven die? Itâs not good for you to be like this. You canât discriminate against things.â
Zhou Shu: ââ¦â
...
When did I discriminate against it? I was just asking. Canât you talk nicely? Why do you have to talk like that?
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth. âAlright, letâs just assume that the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven is about to die. What will happen if it dies? I mean, what will happen here?â
Shi Changsheng knew when to stop. After all, this wasnât the past. He couldnât provoke this junior too much.
âWhen people die, everything is gone. Itâs the same with objects. When they die, thereâs nothing left,â Shi Changsheng said.
âBoom, it will collapse. Do you understand?â
âThis whole space will collapse and disappear? How long does it have?â Zhou Shu said.
The passage between here and the Ten Nations wouldnât open for another two years. If this world collapsed, it was obvious that everything inside would die.
âAt the minimum a few years, at the maximum a few decades,â Shi Changsheng said.
Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was at least still a few years away.
But he had originally planned to treat this place as a branch of the Huaxia Pavilion. Now, it seemed that he couldnât. In that case, before leaving this time, he had to dig up all the mines here. Otherwise, the next time he wanted to enter, there might not be anything left here.
I have to make them dig faster!?Zhou Shu thought.
âBrother Zhou, look, weâve spoken frankly.â Shi Changsheng forced a smile. âCan you return the forging materials in this grotto-heaven to me?
âForget about the ones you used. Iâll take them as a gift for you, Brother Zhou.â Shi Changsheng waved his hand generously.
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng with a faint smile.
Shi Changsheng looked conflicted. âAt most, Iâll give you thirty percent!â
His face was full of distress, as if he was cutting flesh on his body.
Zhou Shu remained silent, still looking at Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng gritted his teeth. âFifty percent! No more!
âI painstakingly gathered these forging materials for many years and spent a lot of effort to migrate them to the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Theyâre all my life!â
âOld Shi, donât think too much,â Zhou Shu said. âItâs impossible for me to give you forging materials. If we get along well, it wonât be a problem to let you swallow fifty kilograms of forging materials.
âIf we donât get along, Old Shi, donât blame me for being ruthless.â
Shi Changshengâs eyes were spitting fire. They were really spitting fire.
In Zhou Shuâs mind, Shi Changsheng was so angry that his body turned somewhat ethereal.
âThatâs outrageous!â Shi Changsheng said angrily. âDonât force me to destroy everything!â
âOld Shi, youâre wrong.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âOld Shi, put yourself in my shoes. If you found some mines in an ownerless place and painstakingly dug them out, would you give them to anyone who jumped out and said that they belonged to him?â
âWho said this place doesnât have an owner?â Shi Changsheng said angrily.
âOld Shi, Iâm trying to reason with you. Youâd better calm down,â Zhou Shu said calmly. âOtherwise, I wonât be reasonable.
âIf Iâm unreasonable, you wonât get any of these forging materials.â
âVery well!â Shi Changsheng made a panting gesture and said in a low voice, âThe new generation really surpasses the old. Tell me, what do I have to do to be willing to return these forging materials to me?
âCultivation techniques, secret forging formulas, what do you want?
âOr Iâll tell you how to break through to the Earth Immortal realm!
âItâs not that Iâm bragging, but anything I take out will be extremely beneficial to you. Donât offend me for some forging materials. Itâs not worth it.
âHow old are you this year? Youâve been stuck at the first rank for many years, right? With my guidance, you can break through to the Earth Immortal realm, and itâs not impossible for you to break through to the Awakening realm in the future.
âAt that time, you will be the number one person in the world. You can have anything you want. You probably wonât even bother to look at the forging materials in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.â
Shi Changsheng spoke confidently. If he failed to threaten him, he would tempt him. He believed that no martial artist could refuse the temptation of breaking through to a higher level.
If it were anyone else, they might really not be able to resist the temptation. As the ruler of a country, Emperor Wei Wu could even do those crazy things in order to break through the first rank of the Martial Dao.
