766 Fighting Demons, Boundless Joy (1)
Shi Changsheng’s words shocked Zhou Shu.
The Grotto-Heaven realm actually had such a secret!
After cultivators reached the Grotto-Heaven realm, there was a possibility that they would become a heavenly slave?
Then, why did the Grotto-Heaven martial artists he had seen still seem to have their consciousness?
Zhou Shu asked this question.
Shi Changsheng was indeed professional. He didn’t spend the forging materials in vain.
He didn’t hide anything about heavenly slaves. He seemed to be telling the truth.
“It’s very normal. There are thresholds to becoming a heavenly slave. Not every Grotto-Heaven martial artist will become a heavenly slave,” Shi Changsheng said.
“Moreover, it isn’t like if you break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, you will immediately become a heavenly slave. I just said that no one can say for sure what Heaven is. But according to my inference, he isn’t always awake. Instead, he will wake up every once in a while. Once he wakes up, Grotto-Heaven martial artists will lose their self-awareness and become heavenly slaves.
“Grotto-Heaven martial artists who break through while he is sleeping won’t become heavenly slaves until Heaven wakes up.
“Moreover, after becoming heavenly slaves, they will lose their self-awareness, but they won’t become walking corpses like you think. They will still have their own thoughts. They will just subconsciously follow the orders of Heaven and slaughter human martial artists. In other aspects, they’re normal.”
Shi Changsheng added, “If you’re lucky enough to meet a heavenly slave in the future, don’t underestimate them. Their thinking isn’t much worse than that of normal experts.”
Zhou Shu was speechless. If I’m lucky enough to meet a heavenly slave? Who would want to encounter those things?
According to Shi Changsheng, ordinary martial artists were not qualified to become heavenly slaves. Those who could become heavenly slaves were all peerless experts.
Zhou Shu estimated that with his current cultivation, if he really encountered a heavenly slave, he would definitely not be able to defeat them.
Zhou Shu pondered. He noticed Shi Changsheng’s choice of words. “Heaven only wants to slaughter human martial artists? He doesn’t care about demonic beasts?”
“That’s another question, but I’ll answer it for free today,” Shi Changsheng said. As expected of an old antique who had lived from ten thousand years ago, he really knew a lot.
“Demonic beasts were created by Heaven to deal with humans. Heaven naturally won’t deal with them.
“Demonic beasts are equivalent to the children of Heaven. Do you understand?”
Zhou Shu nodded. This was really surprising.
He pondered. “According to what you said, Heaven should be waking up now, right?
“Won’t it be very dangerous to break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm now?”
His current cultivation was only a step away from the Grotto-Heaven realm, and he had been preparing to break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm. Now, Shi Changsheng’s words made his hair stand on end. Fortunately, he had yet to break through. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
“Not really. If you’re willing to be Heaven’s slave, there won’t be any danger,” Shi Changsheng said. “Of course, if you’re unwilling to be a slave, it’s quite dangerous. After you’ve taken advantage of Heaven and eaten his flesh, how can he let you off so easily?”
“Is that why you combined your body with your weapon?” Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng.
Even Grotto-Heaven experts were in danger of becoming heavenly slaves, and Shi Changsheng was at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm back then.
He had given up his body and grotto-heaven to combine his body with his weapon. In the past, Zhou Shu had thought that he was pursuing longevity. But now, it seemed that it might have something to do with Heaven.
“You can think so.” Shi Changsheng didn’t want to say anything more about this. He said, “Alright, I’ve explained the matter of heavenly slaves. That’s all for today. The conversation is over. I won’t do business with you anymore today.”
With that, Shi Changsheng disappeared from his consciousness.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but Zhou Su and Shi Changsheng’s conversation happened in his consciousness, and the outside world had only passed in the blink of an eye.
“Shi Changsheng! Are you leaving?” Bai Qianqian’s angry voice brought Zhou Shu’s consciousness back to reality. “Don’t bully an honest person—an honest demon. I’m not someone to be trifled with!”
“Miss Bai, I just want to stay for some time. This Demon Realm Ancestral Court is so big. I don’t take up more than three feet of land, right?” Zhou Shu said. “Besides, aren’t you afraid of attracting the attention of those heavenly slaves if I go out now?”
“Shi Changsheng, you’re an overlord after all. Do you have to be so shameless?” Bai Qianqian wanted to cry but had no tears. She really couldn’t imagine how Shi Changsheng could be so shameless.
He was just an old man, yet he insisted on staying at the home of a beautiful girl. How shameless!
Bai Qianqian had forgotten that she had lived for countless years and had nothing to do with being a delicate girl.
“You’re wronging me.” Zhou Shu shrugged. “Although I require your help, as I’ve said, I’ll pay you back. I definitely won’t take advantage of you.
“Miss Bai, speaking of which, you’re not the master of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, right?” Zhou Shu looked at Bai Qianqian. “We’re both in the same boat. Why make things difficult for each other?”
“Are you the same as me?” Bai Qianqian glared at him. “I obtained the master’s permission. Do you know what this place is called? It’s called the Demon Realm Ancestral Court! Are you a demonic beast? You’re not even a demonic beast. How do you have the cheek you say that you want to stay here?”
