“The Demon Ancestor is indeed female.” Yao Buqi nodded. “King Zhou, you want to ask about the father of the Demon Ancestor’s son, right?”
Zhou Shu nodded. This was indeed what he wanted to ask.
From the current information, the Demon Ancestor’s cultivation was at least at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm. She was definitely not weaker than Shi Changsheng at his peak.
What kind of person could subdue such a ferocious beast?
“In that case, I don’t know.” Yao Buqi shook his head. “It’s said that this person was also a peerless expert. But for some reason, he disappeared. Otherwise, no one in the Demon Realm would dare to make things difficult for their son.”
Zhou Shu asked a few more questions, but Yao Buqi knew nothing.
The Demon Ancestor’s man was very mysterious. He didn’t even leave his name behind. The only thing Yao Buqi knew was that his cultivation was very high, not inferior to the Demon Ancestor’s.
“Since the Demon Ancestor has been missing for countless years, how can the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm be carried out under the witness of the Demon Ancestor?” Zhou Shu asked another question.
“That I do know.” Yao Buqi smiled. “Didn’t I just say that there are all kinds of wonders in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court?
“This Demon Ancestor witness is one of them.
“In the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, there’s a statue of the Demon Ancestor. The statue has the remnant divine ability of the Demon Ancestor. If one can obtain the recognition of the Demon Ancestor, the statue will react.
“The Demon Ancestor’s cultivation is unfathomable. The Demon Realm Ancestral Court is her territory, and there are many magical places.”
Yao Buqi spoke with some longing.
It was said that one would gain a lot by entering the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. Under normal circumstances, one couldn’t enter this place.
This time, because of Shi Changsheng, the Demon Kings decided to place the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm at the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. It was also an opportunity for the demonic beasts qualified to participate in the selection.
“King Zhou, have you thought of anything?” Yao Buqi looked at Zhou Shu.
“Yes. Just defeat Yao Wudi,” Zhou Shu said casually.
Yao Buqi was speechless. If he could defeat Yao Wudi, would he need to cooperate with Zhou Shu?
Not to mention Yao Wudi, he wasn’t even confident that he could defeat Yao Qing. Otherwise, why would he take such a huge risk to cooperate with Zhou Shu?
Originally, he had thought that Zhou Shu could easily replace him with his divine ability to transform into any demonic beast. With Zhou Shu’s strength, since he could easily kill Yao Lian, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to defeat Yao Wudi and Yao Qing.
In the end, there were unforeseen events one after another. First, Demon King Ao and the others promoted the Demon Mirror, and now, they changed the selection venue to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
If he let Zhou Shu fight in his place now, the possibility of him not being discovered was almost zero.
This was why Yao Buqi was in such a hurry to find Zhou Shu. Last time, he had already asked Zhou Shu this question, but Zhou Shu had never given him an answer.
“King Zhou, all the demonic beasts participating in the selection this time must go through the Demon Mirror,” Yao Buqi said seriously.
“I know about the Demon Mirror.” Zhou Shu nodded. “But it doesn’t matter. In any case, you’re a genuine demonic beast. You’re not afraid of the Demon Mirror.”
“The problem is that I’m no match for Yao Wudi and the others—” Yao Buqi said.
“So what? Hu Li wasn’t a Demon King in the past. He can even fight Demon King Ao head-on now. Do you think he did it on his own?” Zhou Shu patted Yao Buqi’s shoulder. “Haste makes waste. Don’t be anxious. By the way, when will the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm begin?”
“A month later,” Yao Buqi said.
“Alright, come find me before you set off for the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. I’ll definitely satisfy you then.”
With that, Zhou Shu walked toward Two Region Mountain. Yao Buqi wanted to say more, but Zhou Shu was already gone.
Yao Buqi sighed. What else could he do? He could only wait.
…
After returning to the camp on Two Region Mountain, Zhou Shu still didn’t see Lu Wenshuang.
Ever since they cultivated the God of War Catalog together, she had started to enter seclusion. This made Zhou Shu feel a little helpless.
He wanted to study the God of War Catalog with her.
But since she hadn’t come out of seclusion, Zhou Shu couldn’t disturb her. He found Meng Bai and the others to ask about the current situation. Seeing that everything was normal with the Ten Nations Alliance, he arrived at the top of the Two Region Mountain.
Although the Ten Nations Alliance was now stationed on Two Region Mountain, their range of activity was usually halfway up the mountain. After all, they were only staying here because of Yao Buqi and couldn’t move around freely.
Under normal circumstances, other than Yao Buqi, only Zhou Shu would come to the mountaintop.
Zhou Shu looked at the chessboard-like altar. It had been a while since Xiaoyu’er left, and he wondered how the situation was over there.
Although the possibility of Xiaoyu’er encountering an accident in the Ten Nations Continent was very low with her cultivation, she was still just a child. It was really unpredictable how she would react when she encountered something.
While Zhou Shu was thinking, he suddenly saw ripples appear on the chessboard. Then a small figure jumped out of the chessboard with a whoosh.
“Daddy!” A crisp sound rang out, and Zhou Shu felt a small figure crash into his arms.
Even with Zhou Shu’s cultivation, he staggered.
With a smile on his face, he reached out and hugged Xiaoyu’er.
“Xiaoyu’er, why did you suddenly come back?” Zhou Shu spun around with Xiaoyu’er in his arms, making her giggle.
He didn’t expect that he would encounter her return as soon as he came back.
“Mommy asked me to deliver some things to you, Daddy.” Xiaoyu’er patted her stomach.
It was too late for Zhou Shu to stop her.
Rustle!
All kinds of things were scattered on the ground. There were wooden boxes and bags of all sizes.
Zhou Shu even saw a lot of green vegetables…
Xiaoyu’er’s grotto-heaven was much larger than Zhou Shu’s Cosmic Bangle. Even the Cosmic Bangle he had recently forged to store the Cosmic Cauldron couldn’t compare to Xiaoyu’er’s grotto-heaven.
Yin Wuyou knew that they lacked supplies, so she asked Xiaoyu’er to bring many things over.
Putting everything else aside, food, vegetables, and meat were what the Ten Nations Alliance lacked the most.
“Xiaoyu’er, did your mother ask you to bring a letter?” Zhou Shu asked.
“Yes.” Xiaoyu’er took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Shu.
“Daddy, am I a good girl?” She raised her face, looking like she wanted a compliment.
Zhou Shu smiled and tapped her forehead. “Xiaoyu’er is awesome!”
Xiaoyu’er smiled very happily. She took out a big red apple from somewhere and started chewing.
Zhou Shu placed her on his shoulder and opened the letter she had brought back.
On the letter was Yin Wuyou’s beautiful handwriting. There was a thick stack of paper, as if she had wanted to write all her thoughts in the letter.
Zhou Shu felt something special. Communicating through letters was such an ancient method.
It was unknown if the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent was good or bad.
Zhou Shu collected his messy thoughts and focused on Yin Wuyou’s letter.
After a long time, he finally finished reading every word in the letter. He held the letter and fell into deep thought.
Sima Grotto-Heaven, Zheng Yongtai…
Zhou Shu recalled the information mentioned in the letter, and his expression became a little solemn.
Other than the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain and the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, has a third grotto-heaven finally appeared? No, that’s not right. It should be the fourth one. The Demon Realm Ancestral Court should also be a grotto-heaven!
Zhou Shu’s eyes flickered. This world is becoming more and more interesting.
From the start of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, it seems that people have deliberately arranged a scheme. Are the Ten Nations and I all pawns of others?
Zhou Shu sneered. If you want to use me as a chess piece, let’s see if your chess skills are good enough.
I’m not a pushover. If this chessboard isn’t hard enough, don’t blame me for flipping it over!
