“How did you do it, Master?” Lu Wenshuang asked while looking up at Zhou Shu and helping activate the True Fire in the furnace.
“It’s just a sword control technique. It’s nothing,” Zhou Shu said calmly.
Several days had passed since Zhou Shu brought back the Longevity Sword.
Over the past few days, the entire Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space was brimming with rumbling sounds.
Mountains were constantly being destroyed by a gray sword.
Everyone already knew that it was Zhou Shu’s sword.
As for why the sword could split mountains without Zhou Shu appearing, everyone was puzzled. But only Lu Wenshuang took the opportunity to ask.
Zhou Shu didn’t tell anyone that the Longevity Sword could speak.
Shi Changsheng didn’t communicate with the others. He was probably unwilling to let others know this secret.
“Sword control technique?” Lu Wenshuang’s eyes lit up. “Master, can I learn it?”
“I’ll think about it when you’re on your best behavior,” Zhou Shu said.
How could he know any sword control technique? He was just spouting nonsense.
“I’ll definitely perform well!” Lu Wenshuang said with certainty. She increased the output of her spiritual essence, and the True Fire in the furnace burned fiercely.
These days, she had been doing odd jobs in the forging room almost all the time. Whenever a Forging Master’s spiritual essence couldn’t support the True Fire, she would help them. She never slacked off.
This made Zhou Shu feel embarrassed to take the Abyss Rainbow Sword from her.
But thinking that he didn’t need the Abyss Rainbow Sword for the time being, he pretended not to remember and let Lu Wenshuang keep the Abyss Rainbow Sword for the time being.
Boom!
As he spoke, another explosion sounded in the distance.
It was unknown if the Longevity Sword, or Shi Changsheng, had vented all his anger on splitting the mountains, but he hadn’t stopped moving in the past few days.
All the mines in the space were probably going to be split open by him.
Others might have to spend time looking for mines, but Shi Changsheng knew exactly where they were.
Moreover, although Shi Changsheng was just a sword, he was much stronger than Zhou Shu if he didn’t use the divine ability Total Annihilation.
Zhou Shu estimated that even if he encountered a Great Demon, he would probably not be at a disadvantage.
Zhou Shu didn’t even know how a sword had such strength.
Boom!
The ground shook violently. Inside the forging room, several furnaces were overturned.
The crowd of forgers ducked.
Zhou Shu frowned. Shi Changsheng was going too far!
He threw a newly forged Cosmic Bangle to Lu Wenshuang and stood up to leave the forging room.
Swish!
Zhou Shu had just left the forging room when a light shot over. It was the Longevity Sword, hovering in front of him.
“Zhou Shu, what did you do to the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven!” Shi Changsheng’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s mind.
“Look who’s talking,” Zhou Shu replied in his consciousness. “Why did you cause such a huge commotion? Do you know how many weapons you caused me to destroy?”
“I had nothing to do with it!” Shi Changsheng transformed into the old Daoist priest in Zhou Shu’s consciousness and frowned. “It wasn’t because of me. It was the movement of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven!”
“What happened?” Zhou Shu frowned.
“What happened? I have to ask you!” Shi Changsheng said angrily. “According to normal calculations, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven should still have a few years left. What did you do to it? Why did it enter the destruction period early?”
“What do you mean? What makes you think it’s my fault? Can’t it be your own miscalculation?” Zhou Shu frowned.
“My miscalculation?” Shi Changsheng said. “Why don’t you ask around who I am! This Zhuling Grotto-Heaven is formed from my dantian. I may be mistaken in other things, but I won’t make this mistake!”
A martial artist’s dantian becomes a grotto-heaven in the Awakening realm? Zhou Shu silently noted down a knowledge point.
“What makes you think I caused it?” Zhou Shu said.
He was actually already feeling a little guilty. The reason why the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven was like this was very likely related to him forcefully breaking through the barrier between this place and the Demon Realm and sending the million-strong Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm.
It was possible that his actions at the time had damaged the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven…
But even if he had known that this would happen, Zhou Shu wouldn’t have hesitated. He would have done it anyway.
The million-strong army of the Demon Realm was always a threat to the Ten Nations Alliance. If he didn’t send them away, who knew how many casualties the Ten Nations’ army would suffer?
“How much longer does the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven have?” Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng. He would definitely not admit to Shi Changsheng that he could have been the one to cause this.
Boom!
There was a loud bang. When Zhou Shu looked up, he saw lightning flash across the sky.
“Do you see? The natural disasters have already begun. It’s about to die.” A trace of sadness flashed across Shi Changsheng’s face. “In at most three months, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven will completely collapse and disappear from the world.”
After the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven disappeared, there would be no trace of Shi Changsheng in the world anymore. In the future, only the Longevity Sword would be left.
Shi Changsheng didn’t argue with Zhou Shu anymore. He was full of sorrow. If not for the fact that he didn’t have a physical body, Zhou Shu felt that he might have cried.
