845 Vomiting Blood Again, Two Grotto-Heaven Divine Weapons (2)
Zhou Shu patted the back of Yin Wuyouâs hand. âStay here and watch His Majesty. Iâll go discuss a solution with Mr. Ji.â
Yin Wuyouâs eyes were red as she nodded worriedly.
Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian walked outside. Zhou Shu went straight to the point. âMr. Ji, is the situation bad?â
âItâs not bad. Itâs very bad.â Ji Lutian shook his head. âEmperor Yuan Feng used Great Xiaâs imperial cauldron and forcefully borrowed the power of countless soldiers of Great Xia. This power completely exceeded his limit.
âItâs like trying to fit all the water in a lake into a bucket. The bucket will definitely be broken.â
âHis meridians are all broken, and his soul is already shattered. Heâs just hanging on by his last breathâ¦â
Ji Lutian shook his head regretfully.
Thinking about how Emperor Yuan Feng had killed a Demon King on the battlefield, he found it admirable. Who would have thought that it was just the glow before his death?
Ji Lutian was impressed. When Emperor Yuan Feng used the Great Xia imperial cauldron, he probably already knew that this would happen, but he had still used it without hesitation.
Not only did he use it, but he even killed a Demon King!
It was precisely because there were so many brave humans that there was hope.
âIs there really no other way?â Zhou Shu frowned.
Emperor Yuan Feng was his father-in-law. Even without this relationship, his relationship with Emperor Yuan Feng wasnât bad. Back in Great Xia, Emperor Yuan Feng had treated him quite well. He couldnât just watch him die.
âThereâs no other way,â Ji Lutian shook his head. âAfter all, martial artists have mortal bodies. Only if their cultivation reaches the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm and their souls are condensed as one can they continue to exist even if they leave their bodies. But Emperor Yuan Fengâs cultivation is far from that realm.
âIf someoneâs cultivation hasnât reached that realm, their soul and physical body are inseparable. If their body is destroyed, they will die. Not to mention Emperor Yuan Feng, even you and I will die if our bodies suffer such injuries.â
Zhou Shu frowned. He didnât expect that even his Essence Cleansing Pill would be ineffective. Emperor Yuan Feng was a first-rank martial artist, so the Breakthrough Pill was definitely useless.
What else could he do?
He pondered. âMr. Ji, the grotto-heavens have been around for ten thousand years. Could they have a way?â
âEven the King of Hell wonât be able to save someone who has to die.â Ji Lutian shook his head. âThereâs nothing I can do, and thereâs definitely nothing they can do.â
Ji Lutian was very assured.
Zhou Shu frowned. âMr. Ji, I remember that because Emperor Wei Wu of Great Wei grasped half of the Reincarnation Mirror, he and his subordinates had a chance to come back from the dead. If I can find the Reincarnation Mirror, is there a chance to save him?â
Back then, Emperor Wei Wu didnât even have a corpse, but he could still come back from the dead. In comparison, Emperor Yuan Fengâs injuries were nothing.
Unfortunately, when the barrier between the two worlds was first torn open, Zhou Shuâs Reincarnation Mirror had flown away on its own, and he had yet to find it.
Zhou Shu looked at Ji Lutian. He had always suspected that Ji Lutian had taken away the Reincarnation Mirror.
Ji Lutianâs eyes were clear, and he didnât look away at all. He slowly said, âThe Reincarnation Mirror does have mysterious abilities, but there are conditions for resurrections.
âI can only say that it might not be able to save Emperor Yuan Feng, but I canât say that thereâs no hope at all. At the very least, the Reincarnation Mirror can preserve his soul. As long as his soul is still around, there might be a chance to revive him in the future.â
Ji Lutian continued, âThe question is, where is the Reincarnation Mirror? Emperor Yuan Feng might not be able to last until you find the Reincarnation Mirror.â
âYou donât have the Reincarnation Mirror?â Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows.
âNo.â Ji Lutian wasnât angry. He shook his head. âThe Reincarnation Mirror was the intrinsic divine weapon of the Demon Ancestor back then. I know you suspect me, but I can tell you clearly that the Reincarnation Mirror is not in my hands.
âAnd I can tell you that the Demon Ancestor is still alive. The Reincarnation Mirror might have returned to her hands.â
âThe Demon Ancestor is still alive? Where is she?â Zhou Shu asked. As long as he knew where the Reincarnation Mirror was, he was confident that he would be able to get it back.
âI donât know,â Ji Lutian said bluntly.
âYou donât know?â Zhou Shu frowned.
âIâm not omniscient. Is it strange that I donât know?â Ji Lutian shook his head with a bitter smile. âThere are many things in this world that I donât know. Itâs not that Iâm underestimating myself, but there are still some things in this world that I canât come into contact with.â
âThe Demon Ancestor and that group are above us, and they seem to have another battlefield.â
Ji Lutian shook his head. âBut that has nothing to do with us. I can only say that Emperor Yuan Feng is already most likely dead. If you want my suggestion, then my suggestion is to prepare for his funeral.â
âNo!â A voice sounded behind Zhou Shu. It was Yin Wuyou. âZhou Shu, I beg you. Save my father! I beg you.â
Yin Wuyouâs face was covered in tears as she grabbed Zhou Shuâs arm with a pleading expression.
âDonât cry.â Zhou Shu pulled Yin Wuyou into his arms. âWhat nonsense are you saying? His Majesty is my father-in-law. Do you need to beg me? If I can save him, I will definitely save him!
âDonât worry. With me around, His Majesty will definitely be fine.â
Ji Lutian opened his mouth but sighed in the end.
âMr. Ji, if you donât know where the Demon Ancestor is, do you think Wang Xuanyi knows?â Zhou Shu looked up at Ji Lutian.
âWang Xuanyi?â Ji Lutian was a little stunned. âYouâve seen Wang Xuanyi?â
âYou donât have to worry about whether Iâve seen him or not. Tell me, is it possible for him to know where the Demon Ancestor is? If itâs him, is it possible to take the Reincarnation Mirror back from the Demon Ancestor?â Zhou Shu asked.
âIf itâs really Wang Xuanyi, he might indeed know where the Demon Ancestor is.â Ji Lutian looked at Zhou Shu and pondered for a moment before saying, âWang Xuanyiâs cultivation should be on par with the Demon Ancestorâs. Iâm not sure who will win in a fight between them.
âBut if the Reincarnation Mirror is really in the hands of the Demon Ancestor, the chances of him getting it back are not high.â
âAnythingâs fine as long as itâs possible,â Zhou Shu said.
âThe possibility is extremely low. The Reincarnation Mirror is an eighteen-heaven divine weapon, and the Demon Ancestorâs cultivation is not inferior to Wang Xuanyiâs. Unless Wang Xuanyi has an eighteen-heaven divine weapon, he might not be a match for the Demon Ancestor.
âThere have only been two eighteen-heaven divine weapons in the world since ancient times.â
Ji Lutian shook his head, not optimistic about the outcome.
Zhou Shuâs expression didnât change.
âThere were only two in the past. There might be more in the future,â Zhou Shu said solemnly. âIf Wang Xuanyi doesnât have an eighteen-heaven divine weapon, I can let him have one.
âMr. Ji, donât forget that Iâm a forger!â
Ji Lutian was speechless and shook his head. âEven so, he and the Demon Ancestor are equals.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
...
âWhat about Madam Wang? What if there are two peerless experts and two eighteen-heaven divine weapons? It will be fine if the Demon Ancestor is willing to lend the Reincarnation Mirror. But if she refuses, Iâll beat her until sheâs willing to lend it!â Zhou Shu said with a murderous expression.
Ji Lutian smiled bitterly. âSince youâve already thought it through, what else can I say? If you can really find Wang Xuanyi, and heâs willing to help you, there might be a chance. But thereâs still the biggest problem. Emperor Yuan Feng wonât be able to last long. You donât have much time.â
âI know.â Zhou Shu nodded. âThatâs why I have a request for you, Mr. Ji. Keep him alive until I bring the Reincarnation Mirror back.
âI have Essence Cleansing Pills here. Although they canât save His Majesty, they should be useful.â
Ji Lutian took the Essence Cleansing Pills from Zhou Shu and was silent for a moment before saying, âAlright. Iâll try my best to keep him alive, but you have to promise me something.â
âTell me,â Zhou Shu said.
âI want your help with what I said before,â Ji Lutian said seriously.
âA world without Grotto-Heaven realm experts?â
âYes!â
Zhou Shu was silent for a moment before looking at Yin Wuyou in his arms. âOkay!â
