855 Otherworldly Divine Iron, The Laws of Time (2)
Zhou Shu pondered. “Alright, I’ll try.”
Before Ji Lutian could speak, Zhou Shu had already grabbed at the air, and an invisible hand grabbed the stone.
Swish—
Zhou Shu felt his arm sink. The head-sized stone was abnormally heavy!
With his current strength, he could lift even a small mountain.
But he didn’t manage to grab this piece of otherworldly divine iron.
Zhou Shu’s expression turned serious.
He exerted a little strength and grabbed the otherworldly divine iron out from the magma.
The corners of Ji Lutian’s mouth curled up slightly. He didn’t remind Zhou Shu because he wanted to see him embarrass himself.
But Zhou Shu was much calmer than he had imagined.
As expected of the most talented forger he had seen in so many years…
Zhou Shu used his strength to grab the otherworldly divine iron in front of him. His eyes flickered as a strand of divine sense landed on the otherworldly divine iron.
A moment later, he tentatively sent out a strand of spiritual essence.
The head-sized pitch-black otherworldly divine iron instantly became several times larger.
A thoughtful look appeared in Zhou Shu’s eyes. He frowned with his fingers on the otherworldly divine iron. The thoughtful expression on his face became more and more serious.
Ji Lutian knew how forgers reacted when they studied forging materials. He stood at the side and didn’t disturb Zhou Shu.
As he watched Zhou Shu constantly experiment with the otherworldly divine iron, he saw Zhou Shu constantly taking out various forging materials and tools and constantly studying the characteristics of the otherworldly divine iron.
Ji Lutian was impressed. He was even more certain that he had made the right choice.
From the things that Zhou Shu had done after obtaining a forging material he had never seen before, it was apparent that his skills were beyond the capabilities of ordinary forgers.
Even Ji Lutian himself couldn’t do it to this extent.
Zhou Shu’s understanding of forging was indeed above Ji Lutian’s.
Ji Lutian was getting more and more confident in Zhou Shu, so he simply stopped worrying. He walked to the side and sat down, waiting for Zhou Shu to finish experimenting and come to a conclusion.
It wasn’t easy to determine the characteristics of a forging material. It was no different from scientific experiments. One had to go through countless experiments to determine the use of a new element.
It was the same for forging materials. One couldn’t immediately forge a divine weapon just by obtaining a forging material.
This was especially true for connate divine weapons. A millimeter missed was as good as a difference of a thousand miles.
Before thoroughly studying the otherworldly divine iron, Zhou Shu wouldn’t start forging.
Immersed in the research of the otherworldly divine iron, he had completely forgotten about the outside world. He had even forgotten where he was.
His mind was full of the otherworldly divine iron. Time flew by, and before he knew it, more than ten days had passed.
Ji Lutian couldn’t sit still anymore. Zhou Shu’s fake death gave the human world a lot of time, but they still had a lot of things to do, and they couldn’t waste too much time in this place.
Ji Lutian sighed. He had cut down his cultivation and fallen from the Grotto-Heaven realm. Although he could unleash combat strength comparable to the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm with the help of the power of incense and divine weapons, compared to Grotto-Heaven realm experts, he had the greatest flaw in this state.
He didn’t have a grotto-heaven.
This sounded like nonsense.
But indeed, the biggest difference between him and a true Grotto-Heaven realm expert was that he had no grotto-heaven.
Without a grotto-heaven, it meant that he couldn’t use it to accelerate time, nor could he use it to store things.
These inconveniences were usually nothing, but in the current situation, if he had a grotto-heaven, he could completely let Zhou Shu study the otherworldly divine iron in it. He only needed to spend some of his spiritual essence to control the laws of time.
But now, he could only watch. There was nothing else he could do.
There were gains and losses. Since he wanted there to be no grotto-heavens in the world, this was a necessary sacrifice.
Just as Ji Lutian was feeling worried, Zhou Shu suddenly raised his head, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
“You’ve studied it thoroughly?” Ji Lutian was delighted.
“Yes.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Mr. Ji, do you have any requirements for the type of connate divine weapon?”
“No.” Ji Lutian shook his head.
“That’s good,” Zhou Shu said. He circulated the spiritual essence in his body, and two fire dragons rose from his hands and swallowed the piece of otherworldly divine iron.
At the same time, the various forging materials he had casually taken out and scattered all over flew into the fire dragons’ stomachs as if they were alive.
Although Ji Lutian only knew a little about forging, his attainments in forging were actually not low.
Looking at Zhou Shu’s actions, he began to deduce.
According to the characteristics of the various forging materials, a virtual forging furnace appeared in Ji Lutian’s mind. In his consciousness, he tried to match these forging materials and see what kind of weapon he could forge.
This place was located thousands of kilometers under the Endless Sea. There were no living beings around at all. It was quiet.
In such an environment, no one would disturb them.
After a few more days, Zhou Shu’s body suddenly lit up.
Ji Lutian was shocked. The forging furnace in his mind exploded. His deduction had failed!
But he couldn’t care less about his own deductions now. He looked at Zhou Shu, his eyes filled with shock.
He had seen this scene before, but he hadn’t realized it before. Now, he had indeed discovered that Zhou Shu, enveloped in the light, seemed to have suddenly sped up by hundreds of times!
Ji Lutian was not an ordinary person. He could tell at a glance that this wasn’t a change in speed but a change in time!
Zhou Shu had actually partially changed the flow of time in the Great World!
How was this possible?!
Even peak Grotto-Heaven realm experts couldn’t do this.
Ji Lutian finally realized why the demonic beasts that Zhou Shu had killed had died like that on the battlefield.
At the time, the battle was intense, so he didn’t think about it carefully. Now that he thought about it, his back was instantly covered in cold sweat!
The laws of time had always been the most difficult laws to grasp in the world. Even existences at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm could only accelerate time in grotto-heavens.
How did Zhou Shu do this?
Ji Lutian recalled Zhou Shu’s move to kill demonic beasts.
This move contained the laws of time. If it were Ji Lutian, would he be able to withstand it?
The result made him a little depressed. It seemed that if it was really the laws of time, not many people in the world could withstand a single move from him.
With this move, the flow of time sped up hundreds of times. Who could withstand it?
“Could this really be his era?” Ji Lutian thought of what Zhou Shu had said before. This was his era. Whatever he wanted to do had to be done according to his rules.
Previously, he had thought that Zhou Shu was just being young and ignorant. Now, it seemed that perhaps he wasn’t bragging.
This era really seemed to belong to him.
Although he was still a little inexperienced now, his aura was gradually revealing its sharpness. In the future, he might really be invincible.
But was being invincible in the world really enough?
As Ji Lutian thought this, he saw the divine weapon in Zhou Shu’s hand gradually take shape.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that Ji Lutian couldn’t believe it.
Boom!
Ji Lutian seemed to hear the sound of lightning taking shape in the sky above the Endless Sea.
At this moment, Zhou Shu had already stood up and raised the connate divine weapon in his hand.
“Go accept the baptism of your birth!” Zhou Shu raised his voice. The connate divine weapon was already soaring into the sky. For a moment, the seawater retreated, giving way to a path.
