Legendary Armament Canon

853 This Is My Era (2)

He was already ‘dead’, and he now wanted to focus on developing for a period of time. He wouldn’t expose himself again for the time being.

“There’s no need for you to come forward. This matter won’t involve you.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “What I want you to do for me is your usual job, forging!”

“Forging?” Zhou Shu was puzzled. “Aren’t you a forger yourself? If you want to forge something, you can do it yourself.”

“Although I know a little about forging, I’m not proficient.” Ji Lutian shook his head.

Veins popped out on Zhou Shu’s forehead. If the forgers of the Ten Nations heard this, they would probably want to kill themselves.

When Ji Lutian was in Great Qin, he was a rare forging genius. Later, he was even known as the number one forger in the Ten Nations.

But this person actually said that he only knew a little about forging. How could the forgers of the Ten Nations endure this?

“Aren’t you overestimating me?” Zhou Shu said.

He was indeed very confident in his forging skills, but he didn’t think that Ji Lutian was much worse than him.

“No,” Ji Lutian said seriously. “I’ve lived a little longer than you, and I’ve seen a few more people than you.”

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes inwardly. A little longer? A few more?

You’re an old monster who has lived for thousands of years.

“I can’t be wrong. You can do it, and only you can do it,” Ji Lutian continued. “Just like in the Heavenly Hub Armory, no one else could complete the Demon Subduing Pagoda.”

“Alright, since you’ve said so, if I don’t help you, I’ll go back on my word,” Zhou Shu said. “Although I don’t think you can get those Grotto-Heaven realm experts to cut down their cultivation themselves.”

It didn’t matter if he just helped Ji Lutian forge a few weapons, although he didn’t know how Ji Lutian would use these weapons.

“What weapons do you want me to forge? Do you have the forging formulas?” Zhou Shu said. “Or you can just tell me what weapons you need, and I’ll do it myself.”

“No need,” Ji Lutian said in a low voice. “The weapons I need have all begun to be forged, just like the Demon Subduing Pagoda back then.

“What I need you to do is complete the last step and let the weapons appear in the world!”

Zhou Shu was slightly stunned. “There are still many divine weapons like the Demon Subduing Pagoda?”

The Demon Subduing Pagoda had been personally forged by the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain back then. It had even been tempered by the heavenly fire in the furnace of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain for thousands of years.

In Zhou Shu’s opinion, such a divine weapon could only be chanced upon by luck.

“Not a lot, just a few dozen,” Ji Lutian said calmly.

Looking at Ji Lutian’s calm expression, Zhou Shu really wanted to leave a pair of footprints on his face! Not a lot? Just a few dozen?

Even Zhou Shu had only forged half a connate divine weapon at the level of the Demon Subduing Pagoda.

A few dozen was not a lot?

Many forgers couldn’t even forge one connate divine weapon of this level in their entire lives!

“Compared to the number of Grotto-Heaven realm experts, a few dozen is indeed not many,” Ji Lutian continued. “I can’t let everyone have one.”

“You want to use these connate divine weapons to bribe Grotto-Heaven realm experts and get them to agree to cut down their cultivation?” Zhou Shu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Ji Lutian, are you crazy? Which Grotto-Heaven realm expert would be so useless as to be fooled by a connate divine weapon and cut down their cultivation?

Which Grotto-Heaven realm expert doesn’t have a connate divine weapon?

“Of course it’s not what you think.” Ji Lutian couldn’t help laughing. “Am I that stupid in your eyes? The dozens of divine weapons I’m talking about are similar to the Demon Subduing Pagoda.”

Ji Lutian changed the topic. “King Zhou, do you know my current realm?”

“Your realm? The peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm?” Zhou Shu sized up Ji Lutian. Ji Lutian’s aura was unclear, making it impossible to tell his strength.

But considering that he had fought the Demon King who could tear open the barrier between the two worlds and still won slightly, his cultivation should be at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm, slightly stronger than Zheng Chengan, Zhang Jiping, and the others.

“Earth Immortal realm.” Ji Lutian’s lips curled up. “My current cultivation level is at the Earth Immortal realm. A thousand years ago, I had already cut down my cultivation and returned to the Earth Immortal realm.

“Look, I’m an Earth Immortal, and I’ve lived for so long. And to be honest, my combat strength isn’t too weak.”

Ji Lutian smiled. “This is why I’m confident in convincing the Grotto-Heaven realm experts to cut down their cultivation.”

Zhou Shu looked at Ji Lutian, and for the first time, true shock appeared on his face.

He had always thought that Ji Lutian was joking and felt that Ji Lutian was a little naive and idealistic.

But now, he realized that Ji Lutian was serious!

He really wanted there to be no more Grotto-Heaven realm experts in the world!

Moreover, his way of thinking didn’t seem to be as weak as Zhou Shu had thought. He wasn’t showing weakness to Heaven and begging for mercy. He seemed to have discovered another way to become stronger.

“Mr. Ji, are you saying that even if you don’t break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, you can still continue to become stronger? Moreover, you can still have a lifespan comparable to a Grotto-Heaven realm expert?” Zhou Shu asked. If this was the case, then it didn’t seem to matter if people became Grotto-Heaven realm experts or not.

“Yes.” Ji Lutian nodded. “I’ve always felt that we humans and Heaven can coexist peacefully. After all, all things are born to nurture humans, right?

“As long as the human race no longer has Grotto-Heaven realm experts and doesn’t steal pieces of the world from Heaven, there will naturally be no conflict of interests between the two parties.

“But if martial artists want to become stronger and have a long lifespan, they will aim for the Grotto-Heaven realm.

“That’s why some fellow experts and I thought about it and came up with this method.

“I’ve tried it myself. Even without a grotto-heaven, we can still become stronger and live forever.

“In that case, why do we have to fight Heaven?”

Ji Lutian looked at Zhou Shu sincerely.

Zhou Shu was shocked and speechless. Why are you looking at me like that? Although I’ve said a few harsh words, it’s not like I want to fight against Heaven.

If Heaven doesn’t provoke me, do you think I have nothing better to do than to poke a hole in it?

Zhou Shu pondered. “Does your method have to rely on divine weapons?”

Ji Lutian explained, “If you want to have powerful combat strength, you must have the corresponding divine weapon. But if you just want to have the lifespan of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert, there’s no need for one.”

“I understand.” Zhou Shu nodded. Actually, Ji Lutian’s train of thought was the same as the humans’ train of thought when dealing with demonic beasts.

At the same cultivation level, humans were inferior to demonic beasts. They could only use weapons to make up for this difference.

It was the same for Ji Lutian’s idea. Without a Grotto-Heaven realm cultivation, he had strength comparable to the Grotto-Heaven realm, so didn’t this mean that he had to rely on divine weapons to make up for it?

But divine weapons that could make up for this difference were not ordinary divine weapons.

It wasn’t easy to control such powerful divine weapons.

Ji Lutian likely had some unique secret techniques here.

“In that case, there’s no time to lose. Let’s take action now. The sooner I help you forge the divine weapons, the sooner we won’t owe each other anything.” Zhou Shu wanted to see how Ji Lutian would use divine weapons to let Earth Immortals have combat strength comparable to peak Grotto-Heaven realm experts.

If he mastered this secret technique, wouldn’t he have combat strength comparable to the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm?

“King Zhou, aren’t you curious about my method?” Ji Lutian couldn’t help asking.

“I’m curious. That’s why I will help you forge the divine weapons quickly. When you give the divine weapons away, you won’t mind me watching, right?” Zhou Shu said casually. He looked calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

This feeling made Ji Lutian feel like he couldn’t use his strength. He wanted to keep him in suspense, but the other party didn’t give him a chance!
