âIn that case, why donât you just refuse?â Zhou Shu said somewhat speechlessly after hearing Sun Gongpingâs righteous words.
âI wish I could.â Sun Gongping was also very innocent. âBut theyâre giving too much.
âI was thinking that pride isnât worth much anyway, and isnât killing demons what weâre supposed to do? Killing Yao Qing seems quite worth itâ¦â
âYou make it sound like Yao Qing will stand just there for you to kill,â Zhou Shu said. âDo you know who Yao Qing is? Even if you break through to the first rank of the Martial Dao and have a connate divine weapon, you might not be able to kill him.â
Sun Gongping might not know, but Zhou Shu knew that Yao Qingâs father was Ji Lutian.
Was Ji Lutianâs son so easy to kill?
Moreover, Yao Qing seemed to be hiding something. It was impossible for the Heavenly Mountain Villa to want his life for no reason.
It would be a miracle if this mission was that simple.
âTell me. What did they promise to give you that made you think theyâre giving too much?â Zhou Shu asked curiously.
Sun Gongping was not inexperienced. He didnât even care about a connate divine weapon. For him to say such words, it could only mean that the rewards promised by the Heavenly Mountain Villa after he succeeded were definitely extraordinary.
âOld Zhou, hereâs the main point.â Sun Gongping lowered his voice mysteriously. âOnly you know about this. The Heavenly Mountain Villa told me that after the matter is done, they can let me break through to the Earth God Immortal realm. Is this the realm above the first rank of the Martial Dao? Or is it the realm above that?â
Sun Gongping looked curious. It had been countless years since an expert above the first rank of the Martial Dao had appeared on the Ten Nations Continent. No one even knew what the realm above the first rank was.
Sun Gongping only knew that in the Demon Realm, there were Great Demons above first-rank demonic beasts and Demon Kings above Great Demons.
But he didnât know what the realm above the first rank was for human martial artists.
Not only did he not know, but among the entire Ten Nations Alliance, or rather, among the humans he knew, only Zhou Shu knew.
After all, Zhou Shu was a freak who could fight a Demon King.
âEarth Immortal realm?â Zhou Shu nodded. It should be the Earth Immortal realm that Shi Changsheng had mentioned, but the way they called it was a little different. âThey told you that they can let you break through to the Earth God Immortal realm?â
Going from a first-rank martial artist to an Earth Immortal was not an ordinary bottleneck.
Even Zhou Shuâs Breakthrough Pill couldnât do this.
Back then, he had used the first time he cultivated the God of War Catalog with Yin Wuyou to break through to the Earth Immortal realm.
This time, he had ruthlessly used the black and yellow liquid to let Lu Wenshuang take a bath because he wanted to see if he could nurture an Earth Immortal disciple.
After all, in his opinion, among the human martial artists in the Demon Realm, the one with the best Martial Dao aptitude was Lu Wenshuang. Moreover, she was one of hisâ¦
He had yet to see any hope of Lu Wenshuang breaking through, but Sun Gongping came to tell him that the Heavenly Mountain Villa could allow Sun Gongping to easily break through to the Earth Immortal realm?
âI donât know much about the Earth God Immortal realm. Thatâs why Iâm asking you,â Sun Gongping said. âBreaking through the first rank of the Martial Dao definitely wonât be that easy. Who knows if theyâre fooling me?â
Martial Dao cultivation was like ascending to the heavens. How could it be so easy to break through?
The Breakthrough Pill that Zhou Shu had given him had already made him feel incredulous. But it could only be used once.
If it was so easy to break through the first rank, there wouldnât have been no expert above the first rank on the Ten Nations Continent for thousands of years.
No matter how confident Sun Gongping was, it was impossible for him to think that he was stronger than all the human experts since ancient times.
âItâs not that easy to break through to the Earth God Immortal realm.â Zhou Shu pondered. âBut I donât know if the Heavenly Mountain Villa has any special methods.â
There were all kinds of strange things in the world.
In the past, he had never thought that there would be a Breakthrough Pill. In the end, it was the same.
The Legendary Armament Canon could increase his cultivation level, and the Heavenly Mountain Villa might have similar methods.
âIsnât that the same as not saying anything?â Sun Gongping said angrily. âDo you think I should take a gamble?â
It was really difficult for Sun Gongping to make a decision. If he didnât have this opportunity, he probably wouldnât have been able to break through to the Earth God Immortal realm in his life.
If he missed this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
But he was also worried that the Heavenly Mountain Villa was tricking him. He wasnât afraid that the other party would trick him. But if he fell for it, wouldnât it be too embarrassing?
He was someone who cared about his reputation.
âYou might as well take a gamble,â Zhou Shu said. âBut I think your chances of successfully assassinating Yao Qing are infinitely close to zero.
âIf I were you, I wouldnât think too much about it. Youâre not even a first-rank martial artist yet. Itâs impossible for you to kill Yao Qing.â
âI think so too.â Sun Gongping nodded. âI have another question. Help me take a look and see if thereâs anything wrong with this connate divine weapon.
âI donât want to refine this weapon and become a puppet of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. Wouldnât that be a huge loss?â
Sun Gongping said proudly, âThe Heavenly Mountain Villa wants to trick me? Dream on!â
