Legendary Armament Canon

1200 Change in Temperament, A Gift from Grotto-Heaven Masters (2)

Ji Lutian said seriously, “Back then, when Yao Qing was born, the Heaven-Splitting Axe came from outside the world and fused with him. It was also at that time that I knew Cang Hao was still alive. Not only was he still alive, but he seemed to have obtained some opportunity that allowed him to send the Heaven-Splitting Axe back to this world.

“Not only did he send the Heaven-Splitting Axe back, but he even opened up a battlefield. I don’t know what method he used to send some enemies from beyond the heavens to the battlefield.

“Wang Xuanyi and the others are on that battlefield now. All these years, they have been fighting the enemies that Cang Hao sent over!”

“That’s great!” Zhou Shu clapped his hands.

Ji Lutian was stunned. Great? Is there a mistake? Is this a good thing?

If Wang Xuanyi and the others couldn’t stop them, the enemies from beyond the heavens would attack this world.

The heavens were clearly mended, but Cang Hao had forcefully opened a new passage. After so many years, Ji Lutian found it difficult to understand!

Cang Hao is indeed his incarnation. When Zhou Shu heard this, his first reaction was that it was great?!

Is there some kind of tacit understanding between them?

Isn’t Cang Hao doing this because he wants to use this method to train soldiers?

Does that mean there’s another secret behind his actions?

Ji Lutian felt that he knew a lot of things, but in front of Zhou Shu, he was like a fool and knew nothing.

This feeling made him want to go crazy.

“Zhou Shu, what does Cang Hao mean by doing this?” Ji Lutian said with an ugly expression. “We paid such a huge price to mend the heavens back then, but he’s luring enemies into this world!

“If not for the fact that he’s your incarnation, I even suspect that he has already joined the enemy from beyond the heavens!”

Zhou Shu said solemnly, “Although I don’t know how Cang Hao did it, he definitely doesn’t want to destroy this world. Otherwise, the enemy would have arrived long ago.

“Although we mended the heavens back then, it wasn’t permanent. Not to mention that a wisp of the soul of the enemy is still in this world, they will constantly try to destroy this world from the outside.

“You should know that we have no way out of this war. Either the enemy dies, or we die!

“I know why Cang Hao is luring enemies from beyond the heavens over. He wants to use this to increase our strength.”

“Increase our strength?” Ji Lutian smiled bitterly. “If he treats that place as a training ground and wants to train us human martial artists, then his plan has failed.

“Zhou Shu, you should have already seen that only some of the Grotto-Heaven Masters of the human race are really willing to go to the battlefield to temper their cultivation. Most of them have already reached this realm, so the things they pursue have already changed.

“All these years, I’ve never understood. Since these people could become Grotto-Heaven Masters, they must have advanced bravely and diligently on the path of cultivation. But after they became Grotto-Heaven Masters, some of them became afraid of death!”

Ji Lutian frowned.

Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows.

Ji Lutian’s words reminded him of something he had overlooked before.

That’s right. If Grotto-Heaven Masters were really cowards, how could they become Grotto-Heaven Masters?

“After they became Grotto-Heaven Masters, did their personalities change drastically?”

Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian looked at each other and saw the storm in each other’s eyes.

“Could it be…” The two of them spoke almost at the same time. “The enemy from beyond the heavens has never stopped infiltrating this world?”

Back then, the enemy had already tried to devour this world. Later on, the gap in the heavens was mended, and the enemy returned empty-handed.

From the looks of it, he might not have completely retreated!

Not only did he leave behind a remnant soul, but he was also affecting the will of this world!

If one wanted to become a Grotto-Heaven Master, they had to borrow a piece of the world from this world. This would become a grotto-heaven.

During this process, Grotto-Heaven Masters would naturally be affected by the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao had already been corroded by the enemy, then Grotto-Heaven Masters might also be affected by him.

In this case, it could be explained why the temperament of these martial artists had changed drastically after becoming Grotto-Heaven Masters.

“That’s very possible!” Zhou Shu said in a low voice. “Otherwise, it’s impossible to explain why dignified Grotto-Heaven Masters are so shameless and afraid of death!

“What an enemy from beyond the heavens. He left behind a wisp of his soul to deceive others, but his main body is actually still affecting the Heavenly Dao of this world!

Ji Lutian said, “If it’s really as we think, do you think it’s possible for us to get those Grotto-Heaven Masters to return to their original nature? After all, they are Grotto-Heaven Masters. If they can return to their original nature, it will definitely be of great help to our strength.”

Zhou Shu shook his head. “I don’t know either. I haven’t stepped into the Heavenly Dao realm yet.”

The cultivation level of the enemy from beyond the heavens exceeded his imagination. Just a wisp of his soul was not weaker than Zhou Shu. It was obvious how powerful his main body was.

Although he had obtained the nine-word laws from the enemy and could influence people’s thinking to a certain extent, he was still unable to change people’s temperaments greatly.

“Your Highness, the Grotto-Heaven Masters are requesting an audience outside.”

Just as Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian were discussing, Shi Songtao’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The two of them looked at each other. Speak of the devil.

They had just mentioned these Grotto-Heaven Masters when they came looking for them.

“What are they doing here?” Ji Lutian frowned.

No matter why these Grotto-Heaven Masters’ temperaments had changed drastically, Ji Lutian was very unhappy with them now and even a little disgusted.

For many years, he couldn’t even be bothered to deal with these Grotto-Heaven Masters.

“If they have any sense, they shouldn’t be here to cause trouble,” Zhou Shu said calmly.

“Deputy Pavilion Master Shi, bring them over.”

Back when Zhou Shu was alone, he had never been afraid of these Grotto-Heaven Masters, let alone now.

In the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Zhou Shu was not the only Grotto-Heaven Master.

Ji Lutian, Bai Qianqian, and the Qingqiu King were still around.

A moment later, the Grotto-Heaven Masters arrived in front of Zhou Shu.

Their expressions were complicated, and their actions were unnatural.

The Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master gritted his teeth and seemed to have made an important decision. “King Zhou, we’re here to thank you for helping us previously.”

“I wasn’t trying to save you, so you don’t have to thank me.”

Zhou Shu sized up the Grotto-Heaven Masters, wanting to see how they were affected. In the end, he naturally found nothing.

“That’s not true,” a Grotto-Heaven Master said. “King Zhou, although you have some misunderstandings about us, we are not shameless people.”

They spoke one after another.

“No matter what your original intention was, King Zhou, without your help, the few of us might have paid a huge price there. We know this very well.”

“King Zhou, even if you don’t expect us to repay your kindness, we can’t pretend that nothing happened.”

“King Zhou, I’m here with sincerity.”

As they spoke, the Grotto-Heaven Masters waved their hands.

With a whoosh, countless heavenly treasures descended from the sky and instantly piled up into a small mountain in front of Zhou Shu.

The heavenly treasures were all extremely rare forging materials. Such a pile was definitely priceless.

The Grotto-Heaven Masters were indeed extraordinary!

These Grotto-Heaven Masters had been plundering resources for countless years. They were really rich!

“This is our thank you gift. King Zhou, if you think it’s not enough, we’ll make up for it even if we have to sell everything,” the Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master said sincerely.

Zhou Shu couldn’t help rolling his eyes. Sell everything? Are you kidding me?!

He said coldly, “Alright, stop being so fake. Tell me what your motives are.”
