765 Returning to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Secret of the Grotto-Heaven Realm (2)
Tang Qianluo, Tang Qianluo, didn’t you accuse me of colluding with the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm?
I’ll collude with one of them now. If you have the ability, come and catch me.
In a forest, Zhou Shu’s body shone brightly as he formed profound hand seals. A vortex appeared in the air.
The vortex only appeared for a moment before a suction force suddenly sucked Zhou Shu in, as if it was frightened. Then the vortex quickly disappeared!
In the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Bai Qianqian gritted her teeth and stared at Zhou Shu, who had transformed into Shi Changsheng. Her eyes were wide open, and she wished she could bite Zhou Shu to death.
“Shi Changsheng, you bastard!” Bai Qianqian shouted angrily. “We agreed that you wouldn’t disturb me anymore. Why are you here again? I knew I couldn’t trust a man’s words!
“Are you forcing me to fight you to the death?”
She was like an angry kitten, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, wanting to fight Zhou Shu to the death.
Zhou Shu smiled. “Miss Bai, please calm down.
“I’m not here to cause trouble for you. I had no choice.
“I came this time with the intention of borrowing your strength for some time. As for the price, feel free to name it.”
“No!” Bai Qianqian said firmly without hesitation, “You’re not welcome. Leave now!”
“Miss Bai, don’t do this.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “There’s nothing in this world that can’t be discussed. If there is, it’s because there aren’t enough benefits.
“Didn’t you take a fancy to something previously? I can give it to you,” Zhou Shu tempted.
“No! I don’t want it anymore!” Bai Qianqian shook her head like a rattle drum. “I just want you to disappear from my sight. I’ll even pay you!”
She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “Do you know that you just rashly opened the entrance to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and almost caused me to be discovered?! Are you trying to kill me? If I die, I will definitely not let you off!”
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. “Almost discovered?
“Who are you hiding from? You’re half the owner of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. Who are you afraid of?”
Bai Qianqian was similar to Tang Qianluo. Although they were not the masters of the grotto-heavens, they could borrow the power of the entire grotto-heaven.
In the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Bai Qianqian’s strength was definitely not much weaker than Tang Qianluo’s in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
However, she was timid and would rather not make a mistake than gain merit. That was why she had never dared to fight Shi Changsheng.
After all, in her eyes, Shi Changsheng was still the peerless expert from back then.
“Who do you think?” Bai Qianqian said angrily. “You bastards messed around and caused those heavenly slaves to wake up early. If they discover me, the fish who escaped the net, I’ll be in trouble!”
Bai Qianqian didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with describing herself as a fish who had escaped the net.
“Heavenly slaves?” Zhou Shu frowned. He recalled that when the barrier between the two worlds was torn, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm had attacked the Ten Nations Continent without caring about their lives. They seemed to be enslaved.
Was this related to the heavenly slaves that Bai Qianqian mentioned?
“Why are you pretending to be innocent?” Bai Qianqian rolled her eyes. “If not for you bastards, monsters like those heavenly slaves wouldn’t have been born!”
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes in his heart. He was using Shi Changsheng’s identity now. These heavenly slaves might be related to Shi Changsheng, but they had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t expect that he would take the blame for Shi Changsheng!
“Old Shi, what’s going on with those heavenly slaves?” Zhou Shu communicated with Shi Changsheng in his mind.
“Five kilograms of forging materials for each day you use my identity. Otherwise, I’ll expose you immediately!” Shi Changsheng didn’t answer but threatened Zhou Shu.
“Go ahead and expose me. If you expose me, you won’t even get half a kilogram of forging materials,” Zhou Shu said, unafraid.
“Kid, why are you so stingy?” Shi Changsheng gritted his teeth. “What are you going to do with so many forging materials? You might as well give them to me!”
“Old Shi, have you forgotten that I’m a forging?” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Two kilograms of forging materials a day. I’m already giving you face. This is all I can give you. As for answering my questions, the price will be as we agreed before.”
Shi Changsheng took the few kilograms of forging materials Zhou Shu threw over and smacked his lips reluctantly. “As the name implies, heavenly slaves are slaves of Heaven.”
“Slaves of Heaven? Heaven isn’t human—” Zhou Shu blurted out subconsciously.
“Can’t you have consciousness if you’re not human?” Shi Changsheng sneered.
Zhou Shu was stunned. In a sense, Shi Changsheng was not human.
But if Heaven had consciousness…
Zhou Shu felt a little awkward.
“Heaven has its own consciousness?” Zhou Shu frowned.
“That’s another question,” Shi Changsheng said calmly.
Pa!
Another few kilograms of forging materials were thrown in front of Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng didn’t have the slightest awareness that one did not accept food handed out in contempt. He only controlled the Longevity Sword to swallow the forging materials. “Yes.”
Zhou Shu waited for him to continue. But after waiting for a long time, he didn’t hear anything else. “And then?”
“There’s no ‘then’,” Shi Changsheng said matter-of-factly. “I’ve already answered your question.
Zhou Shu: “…”
Good answer!
Are you playing tricks on me?
I forgot to tell you. I have nothing now except forging materials!
Pa!
Hundreds of kilograms of forging materials were thrown in front of Shi Changsheng.
“Explain the matter of heavenly slaves to me! Is this enough?”
Shi Changsheng gulped. “A little… not enough…”
Pa!
Another fifty kilograms.
“Is this enough? Old Shi, when doing business, it’s important to have a long-term relationship. Don’t be insatiable!” Zhou Shu said.
A smile bloomed on Shi Changsheng’s face. “How can that be? With my reputation, if you go out and ask around, what I tell you is definitely reliable. Would I try to cheat these tens of kilograms of forging materials from you? What a joke!
“With me, you’ll definitely get the best deals.”
Shi Changsheng swallowed the 200 kilograms of forging materials and laughed. “Let me explain it to you.
“As the name implies, heavenly slaves are slaves of Heaven. As for what Heaven is, I’m afraid no one can explain it clearly. You can also temporarily understand him as a person,” Shi Changsheng said. “What I’m about to say is a huge secret. Originally, it was impossible for me to tell you. But now that the grotto-heavens have appeared, and it’s rare for you to be so generous, I’ll be generous for once.
“After a human martial artist breaks through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, they have to have a grotto-heaven in their bodies. It’s also a world. But have you ever thought about where this world comes from?”
“Wasn’t it born in the human body?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
“Do you think it’s giving birth? If you have the ability, give birth to one for me to see.” Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes. “Let me tell you. This is the greatest secret of the Grotto-Heaven realm. Ordinary Grotto-Heaven cultivators might not even know that the grotto-heavens nurtured in their bodies were actually stolen from Heaven.
“These worlds are from the body of Heaven. Grotto-Heaven cultivators want to bite off pieces of flesh from him. Think about it. If it were you, would you be able to endure it?”
Shi Changsheng said with a complicated expression, “The higher the cultivation of a Grotto-Heaven expert, the more of the world they’ve stolen. But is it so easy to take advantage of Heaven? This world is toxic.
“At first, no one realized this. By the time Grotto-Heaven experts realized this, it was already too late. They were already poisoned. This poison was so deadly that the Grotto-Heaven experts even lost their consciousness and completely became slaves of Heaven.”
“You’re saying heavenly slaves are all Grotto-Heaven experts?” Zhou Shu asked in shock.
“Of course. Those who haven’t reached the Grotto-Heaven realm are just ants. How can they be qualified to become slaves of Heaven?” Shi Changsheng said matter-of-factly.
“The mission of heavenly slaves is to take orders from Heaven to eliminate the impurities in this world. In other words, martial artists!”
