It could even penetrate the barrier between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm, let alone the Heavenly Hub Armory.
Back then, didnât the Great Demon Yao Lian of the Demon Realm use a fake imperial cauldron to enter the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, which was the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven? If he hadnât encountered Zhou Shu, he would have probably slaughtered the armies of the Ten Nations cleanly.
Zhou Shuâs plan was to use the replica imperial cauldron to sneak into the third level of the Heavenly Hub Armory.
This was also why Zhou Shu and Shi Changsheng had different thoughts. Shi Changshengâs first thought was to get a key. Zhou Shu wanted to cross the wall directly!
Seeing that Zhou Shu didnât listen to his advice, Shi Changsheng muttered, âYouâll suffer if you donât listen to the old man.â
The Longevity Sword circled around Zhou Shu before sneakily flying into the distance.
Lu Wenshuang noticed the movements of the Longevity Sword, but she didnât know what was going on with it. She thought that Zhou Shu was controlling it, so she didnât pay much attention to it.
As for Zhou Shu, he couldnât be bothered with Shi Changshengâs thoughts. Needless to say, he had secretly gone to find forging materials in the second heaven.
The Longevity Sword had to devour a large number of forging materials from time to time. It was a rare opportunity for Shi Changsheng to enter the Heavenly Hub Armory. He wouldnât miss this chance.
Zhou Shu went all out with his Iron Smelting Hands Technique. The various forging materials that had already been preliminarily processed jumped and fused between Zhou Shuâs hands as if they were alive.
Although Zhou Shu had always said that he wouldnât help Emperor Wei Wu forge this replica imperial cauldron, after he obtained the secret forging formula, he had kept deducing it in his mind.
It wasnât that heâd expected this day to come. It was the instinct of a forger.
After seeing new forging formulas, he always habitually studied them thoroughly.
It was precisely because of this that he was now able to forge it with ease. It didnât seem like this was the first time he had forged this replica imperial cauldron.
Unfortunately, in the second level of the Heavenly Hub Armory, the only audience was Lu Wenshuang.
Lu Wenshuang didnât know anything about forging, so she couldnât tell how perfect Zhou Shuâs forging movements were. She only felt that her master was really handsomeâ¦
After thinking about it, she inwardly spat.?When did I become as infatuated as Wuyou?
As Lu Wenshuangâs thoughts ran wild, the outline of a small cauldron gradually appeared between Zhou Shuâs hands.
This replica imperial cauldron was not a connate divine weapon, so it wasnât difficult for Zhou Shu to forge it.
Moreover, since the forging materials on him had been processed by Zhang Chunlin and the others, he used them conveniently.
Therefore, in just a few days, before the Longevity Sword returned from consuming the forging materials, the forging of the replica imperial cauldron was already coming to an end.
Buzzâ
Lu Wenshuang heard a soft sound, and then she saw a ball of light erupt between Zhou Shuâs hands.
The newly formed replica imperial cauldron actually exploded.
Lu Wenshuang was stunned. Did he fail?
She had heard before that there was a danger of furnaces exploding when a forger was forging. If the materials were not well-coordinated, it could cause an explosion that would result in the forging to fail.
Now, the weapon between Zhou Shuâs hands had exploded, just like the furnaces she had heard about in the past.
Lu Wenshuang was a little stunned. In the past, she had only heard people say how powerful Zhou Shuâs forging skills were. She had personally seen how heaven-defying the weapons Zhou Shu forged were.
She had never thought that Zhou Shu would fail in forging.
âMaster, it doesnât matter. Itâs all about the success rate when it comes to forging,â Lu Wenshuang couldnât help saying. âI heard that itâs already very good for a Grand Craftsman to succeed in forging one out of three weaponsâ¦â
Zhou Shu looked up at Lu Wenshuang with a faint smile. âDo you think I failed?â
âMaster.â Lu Wenshuang hesitated.
âLittle Lu, although youâre my in-name disciple, youâre a martial artist. You still donât know enough about my forging skills.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âIâve never failed in forging. Not in the past and not in the future.
âItâs a fake weapon that isnât even a connate divine weapon. If I failed in forging such a weapon, I would kill myself with a piece of tofu.
âItâs not that I failed to forge this thing. Itâs what itâs for. Thatâs all.â
As he spoke, Zhou Shu raised his hands, and the remaining fragments of the small cauldron turned into a ray of light that soared into the sky.
Boom!
A loud bang sounded in the sky, and then the light formed by the fragments condensed into a ten-foot-wide vortex in the air.
Lu Wenshuang felt her body shake. This wasnât her imagination, but the entire world was shaking.
Swishâ
A stream of light shot over from afar at an unbelievable speed. It was the Longevity Sword that had been missing for several days.
âLittle Zhou, what did you do? Why is the second heaven suddenly about to collapse?!â Shi Changshengâs voice sounded in Zhou Shuâs consciousness, sounding rather exasperated.
He had been happily devouring forging materials when this space was about to collapse. He still had a lot of forging materials that he had yet to devour!
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the vortex in the air.
âHow did you do it? You actually opened the passage to the third heaven?â Shi Changshengâs voice was full of astonishment. He hadnât believed that Zhou Shu could forge a Kun Wu Saber, but now, he was a little shaken.
Could two identical weapons really be forged?
To be able to serve as the Heavenly Hub Armory, the Kun Wu Saber that he forged couldnât just look the same. It had to be exactly the same as the Kun Wu Saber from the inside out.
âOld Shi, thereâs nothing in this world that canât be done. There are only people who canât do it.â Zhou Shu smiled. âSometimes, if you donât force yourself, you will never know your limits.â
Laughing, he stepped into the maelstrom.
âMaster, wait for me.â Lu Wenshuang called out and followed.
The Longevity Sword spun in the air like a man scratching his head.
âLittle Zhou, whereâs the Kun Wu Saber you forged? Let me see. I donât believe there are two identical divine weapons in this world!â Shi Changsheng shouted. The Longevity Sword turned into a stream of light and entered the vortex.
The two of them had just disappeared with the Longevity Sword when the second heaven of the Heavenly Hub Armory finally reached the end of its life.
Zhou Shuâs act of smuggling became the last straw that broke the camelâs back. The entire space collapsed, and volcanoes erupted. Space began to shatter in large patches, and everything was buried in a spatial storm.
Almost instantly, the entire second level of the Heavenly Hub Armory became a black dot that disappeared into space forever. Naturally, the things inside disappeared.
Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang, who had already stepped into the third level of the Heavenly Hub Armory, naturally didnât feel much about the destruction of the second level behind them. They were currently erupting with their auras and staring at Demon Queen Tushan not far away!
Tushan lay in the air with an enchanting expression, and the nine tails behind her flew up and down like white snakes. She looked abnormally shocked.
âTushan!â Zhou Shu exuded a murderous aura. He looked around but didnât see Mi Ziwen or Yang Hong.
He reached out and grabbed the Longevity Sword that had just passed through the vortex. It happened to fall into his hand.
âWhere are they?â Zhou Shu pointed his sword at Tushan. The Longevity Sword shone brightly. Having just eaten its fill, it was very cooperative. Sharp sword qi flowed endlessly on the sword, ready to cut through the sky at any moment.
âI was right about you.â Tushan looked straight at Zhou Shu and laughed. âYou can enter without the Kun Wu Saber!
âDo you want to save them? Itâs simple. Just have to do as I say, and I promise to return them to you intact.â
âYouâre not letting them go?â Zhou Shu said coldly. âThereâs another way. When I cut off all your tails, I want to see if youâll let them go or not!â
