Yang Hong was stunned and a little dumbfounded. It turned out that there was nothing special about him. It was just that the weapon that the king forged for him was a little special.
Zhou Shu confirmed his thoughts. Whoever had a connate divine weapon was Gao Chongmingâs junior brother.
âIâm not your junior brother,â Zhou Shu said. âYouâre mistaken.â
âHow could I be mistaken?â Gao Chongming said in all seriousness. âI will never mistake a connate divine weapon. You can enter the Heavenly Hub Armory and have a connate divine weapon recognize you as its master. If youâre not my junior brother, how can you do it?â
âTushan also has a connate divine weapon. She also came inâ¦â Zhou Shu said.
âA female? We donât accept females in the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.â Gao Chongming waved his hand.
The face of Lu Wenshuang, who had just arrived behind Zhou Shu, darkened. This man was too annoying. Didnât a female give birth to him?
Lu Wenshuang harrumphed and rolled her eyes at Gao Chongming.
âAlright.â Zhou Shu couldnât figure out Gao Chongmingâs logic and didnât intend to argue with him. âBrother Gao, have you been sleeping in the Heavenly Hub Armory?â
The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain had been destroyed countless years ago, and more than half of the Heavenly Hub Armory had been destroyed. Gao Chongming claimed to be a direct disciple of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain and even said that he was the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory. He was very suspicious.
If he wasnât lying, didnât it mean he was from the same era as Shi Changsheng?
Didnât that mean he was thousands of years old?
Although it seemed that he also had a Grotto-Heaven realm cultivation base, Grotto-Heaven realm martial artists couldnât live for so many years.
Even Shi Changsheng, the master of a grotto-heaven, had used the method of fusing with a divine weapon to survive until now. How could he, Gao Chongming, survive until now intact?
âYes. Where else would I go if not here?â Gao Chongming said matter-of-factly. âMy duty is to protect the Heavenly Hub Armory. Of course I canât leave this place.
âIf I hadnât chased that woman away just now, wouldnât she have barged into the upper levels of the Heavenly Hub Armory?â
âBrother Gao, do you know the current situation of the Heavenly Hub Armory?â Zhou Shu was now certain that there was something wrong with Gao Chongmingâs brain.
âWhat situation? What other situation could there be in Heavenly Hub Armory?â Gao Chongming retorted. âAlthough the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain has been destroyed, as long as I, Gao Chongming, am still here, the Heavenly Hub Armory will be here, and so will the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!â
He looked determined, and the light in his face moved Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu seemed to have discovered a secret.
âBrother Gao, Tushan thought of a way to snatch the Kun Wu Saber. It seems that she wants to enter the Heavenly Hub Armory to find something. Is there anything in the Heavenly Hub Armory thatâs useful to Demon Kings?â Zhou Shu asked.
He had asked Shi Changsheng this question before, but Shi Changsheng wasnât the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory, so he naturally didnât know.
When he had first met Gao Chongming, Zhou Shu had tried to summon the Longevity Sword to identify him.
But for some reason, the Longevity Sword refused to come out of the Cosmic Bangle.
Zhou Shu didnât have a good solution to the Longevity Sword. But since Gao Chongming called himself the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory, Zhou Shu naturally wouldnât let go of this opportunity.
Gao Chongming treated Zhou Shu and Yang Hong as his junior brothers, so he had no qualms about speaking.
âSomething useful to Demon Kings?â Gao Chongming said disdainfully. âAny one of the divine weapons in my Heavenly Hub Armory is useful to them.â
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows slightly. What Gao Chongming understood as useful might not be the same for Tushan.
âIsnât the Kun Wu Saber the most powerful weapon in the Heavenly Hub Armory? She already has it. If itâs just to increase her combat power, she shouldnât have any reason to barge into Heavenly Hub Armory again, right?â Zhou Shu changed his way of asking.
âWho told you that the Kun Wu Saber is the most powerful weapon in Heavenly Hub Armory?â Gao Chongming looked at Zhou Shu strangely and casually said, âThere arenât too many weapons more powerful than Kun Wu Saber in the Heavenly Hub Armory. Our master said back then that the most powerful divine weapon is always the next one.
âHowever, I think the most powerful divine weapon in the Heavenly Hub Armory is the Heaven-Breaking Sword in my hand.â Gao Chongming triumphantly waved the door-like sword in his hand.
âOh yes, I remember now.â Gao Chongming suddenly patted his head. âThat woman might be here for it!â
âWhat?â Zhou Shu asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOur Heavenly Hub Armory does have a divine weapon related to demonic beasts.â Gao Chongming rubbed his chin. âHowever, this divine weapon was just the cave masterâs idea, and he didnât succeed in forging it. That woman is also a fool. Whatâs the use of snatching an incomplete weapon away?
âCould it be that she thinks a demonic beast like her can successfully forge a divine weapon that even the cave master didnât succeed in forging?
âThatâs hilarious.â
Gao Chongming seemed to think of something funny and laughed out loud.
Zhou Shu, Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Lu Wenshuang looked at each other and saw the meaning in each otherâs eyes.
So thatâs why!
This was probably the reason Tushan wanted to find Zhou Shu.
No wonder she was so excited when she saw that Zhou Shu could forge a connate divine weapon. It turned out that she wanted Zhou Shu to help her forge an incomplete divine weapon!
âBrother Gao, what exactly is the unfinished divine weapon you mentioned? Can we take a look?â Zhou Shu asked.
âWhatâs there to see?â Gao Chongmingâs expression dimmed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal. âThe cave master has already died. This divine weapon can no longer be completed.
âAn unfinished divine weapon is a piece of scrap metal, just like the weapons in their hands.â Gao Chongming pointed at Mi Ziwenâs and Lu Wenshuangâs weapons.
Their faces darkened. Why were their weapons scrap metal?
Their weapons were also divine weapons in the Ten Nations.
Other than connate divine weapons, the rest were all scrap metal?
Are you looking down on others just because youâre the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory?
Lu Wenshuang really wanted to use the Abyss Rainbow Sword in her hand to slash Gao Chongmingâs face.
âEven if itâs a piece of junk, itâs still the work of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. If we can take a look, it will definitely be beneficial to us juniors,â Zhou Shu said casually.
Gao Chongming was in a good mood after hearing his flattery. âThatâs true. The cave master was almighty. If you learn anything, you can benefit greatly.
âSince you have this ambition, Iâll give you a chance.â
Gao Chongming waved his hand. âFollow me. Iâll broaden your horizons today.â
As he spoke, he started to move forward.
Zhou Shu winked at them and followed Gao Chongming.
Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Lu Wenshuang followed closely behind.
Gao Chongming was very fast. Zhou Shu could still keep up. Mi Ziwen and the other two were already using all their strength, but they were still panting from the chase.
After running for more than two hours, Gao Chongming finally stopped.
By this time, Mi Ziwen and the other two were so tired that they were out of breath.
Gao Chongming seemed to be very dissatisfied. âThe disciples of our Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain have unparalleled physiques. Junior Brothers, you have to cultivate more.
âAlso, you have to be careful when making friends. Donât interact with those weaklings. You shouldnât lower yourself.â
Mi Ziwen and Lu Wenshuang received another 10,000 points of damage.
Yang Hong was also a little embarrassed. His cultivation level was much lower than Mi Ziwenâs and Lu Wenshuangâs. Since he said that they were weak, then what was he?
If not for the Crimson Firmament Sword, he would probably be worse than a weakling.
âJunior Brothers, Iâll show you my ability today. Watch me bring you to the ninth heaven!â
Gao Chongming roared, and a violent aura erupted from his body. His Heaven-Breaking Sword reached into the sky.
The three of them looked in the direction Gao Chongming was pointing.
Then⦠there was no âthenâ.
âMm?â Gao Chongming was a little puzzled. He thrust the sword toward the sky again. âOpen!â
