Zhou Shu's pupils constricted slightly when he saw the statue's true appearance after its surface peeled off.
He couldn't help whispering, "Divine Stone?"
He recognized the statue's material after it revealed its true form!
It was exactly the same as the Divine Stone he had obtained from Ji Lutian!
Back then, for some reason, the Divine Stone that Ji Lutian had given Zhou Shu was only the size of a fist. But now, in front of him was a statue!
Looking at the statue, it seemed to be carved from an entire piece of Divine Stone. Zhou Shu now knew the value of Divine Stones very well. Perhaps not everyone would agree to it being the most precious forging material in the world, but no one would object!
Such a huge Divine Stone was simply priceless.
Zhou Shu even suspected that even everything in Pixiu's grotto-heaven added up might not be as precious as this Divine Stone!
Was the Demon Ancestor really so rich back then?
Not only did she forge the Reincarnation Mirror, but she even had such a huge Divine Stone!
As expected of the Demon Ancestor.
Thank you so much.
It would be impolite for him to refuse such a huge Divine Stone. As for how beautiful this statue was, screw it. No matter how beautiful it was, it was still a statue. There was no reason for him to leave such a huge Divine Stone here.
It would be great to use it to forge divine weapons.
"Demon Ancestor, since you refuse to appear and dare to threaten me, I'll take this statue as your apology."
Before Zhou Shu could finish speaking, he saw the light on the statue flickering, as if its aura was unstable from anger.
He looked at the statue with interest. Could a stone have formed a spirit?
Or is it a lingering thought left behind by the Demon Ancestor?
Zhou Shu had personally seen how lingering thoughts left behind by experts could transcend eternity.
Back in the Heavenly Hub Armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, he had seen the lingering thought of Gao Chongming, a disciple of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.
Zhou Shu wasn't surprised that the Demon Ancestor had left a trace of her divine sense in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
"What kind of divine weapon should such a huge Divine Stone be used to forge? It should be enough to forge a nine-heaven divine weapon." Zhou Shu seemed to be talking to himself. As he spoke, he grabbed at the Divine Stone statue.
"Roar!"
Another roar sounded. This roar was no longer very far from Zhou Shu. He could sense that a powerful demonic beast was rushing over at an unbelievable speed.
It should be the help summoned by this statue!
After experiencing being driven around by Pixiu to find the Reincarnation Mirror, Zhou Shu had long known that although there were no demonic beasts residing in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court on the surface, in fact, there were many powerful demonic beasts sleeping here. These demonic beasts might even have been sealed by the Demon Ancestor with a secret technique back then.
Once someone barged into some special places, the demonic beasts would wake up and kill the invaders.
This was naturally the case for the demonic beast he sensed now.
The more this was the case, the more he was certain that this statue definitely had intelligence.
Whether this intelligence was born by itself or left behind by the Demon Ancestor, it was quite valuable to Zhou Shu.
"You really don't know what's good for you. Was the Demon Ancestor like this back then?" Zhou Shu snorted coldly. Without any hesitation, his palm landed on the statue.
Boom!
The power of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique erupted, and raging flames instantly enveloped the Divine Stone statue.
His Cosmic Bangle couldn't fit such a huge statue. He planned to refine it piece by piece before putting it away!
"Shi Changsheng, you're too much!" A delicate shout suddenly sounded in Zhou Shu's ear.
His lips curled up slightly. Are you finally willing to communicate?
From her tone, she seems to know Shi Changsheng?
His expression didn't change as he said indifferently, "Too much? I can do worse things."
The spiritual essence in his body surged even faster, and the temperature of the flames suddenly increased by several times.
Boom!
The image of a woman suddenly appeared on the statue. Her pink face was full of anger, and her almond-shaped eyes were wide as she glared at Zhou Shu.
"Shi Changsheng! Don't force me to fight you to the death!" she shouted angrily.
Zhou Shu sized up the woman, feeling a little strange. This woman is different from the statue of the Demon Ancestor. She isn't the Demon Ancestor!
This was his first reaction.
From this woman's reaction, she seemed to know Shi Changsheng. Zhou Shu was a fake Shi Changsheng, so he naturally didn't know this woman. But he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled. "If you didn't use this method, why would you have appeared to meet me?"
"Hmph! Why would I want to meet you? I don't have any friendship with you! Why would I want to see your old face?!" the woman said bluntly.
"The feeling is mutual," Zhou Shu said indifferently. "I thought the Demon Ancestor left behind a lingering thought. If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have bothered to spend so much effort."
While speaking, he stared at the woman without blinking. He was probing. After all, he could only guess if this woman was the Demon Ancestor.
Hearing what he said, the woman didn't react much. It seemed that he was right. This woman was really not the Demon Ancestor.
"Shi Changsheng, if you want to die, don't drag me into it!" the woman said coldly. "I didn't offend you! Hurry up and leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Are you being polite to me now?" Zhou Shu said. "You'd better get that beast to get lost. Otherwise, if I kill him, you'll lose a subordinate."
He turned around and looked in the direction of the roar outside the temple.
The woman's expression turned ugly. She looked at Shi Changsheng, and her expression changed a few times. In the end, she raised her hand and shot out a beam of light. The roar outside the temple stopped.
Then Zhou Shu heard the sound of demonic beasts leaving.
This woman was really frightened by Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng was really not bragging. He might have been quite powerful back then.
"Shi Changsheng, what do you want to do?" The woman looked at Shi Changsheng with an ugly expression. "It's your business if you want to die. It has nothing to do with me. As long as you leave this place, I can ignore everything else. I don't want the Reincarnation Mirror anymore. I'll let you take it away!"
"Don't pretend to be so generous. The Reincarnation Mirror is yours? I obtained it myself." Zhou Shu curled his lips. "This Demon Realm Ancestral Court is also the grotto-heaven of the Demon Ancestor. It doesn't belong to you either."
"What do you know? The Demon Ancestor agreed to me being here. I'm not a trespasser like you!" the woman said.
Zhou Shu was deep in thought. In order to avoid suspicion from this woman, he didn't dare to ask her many questions. But he seemed to have caught something from her words.
But there was too little information to capture, and he couldn't be sure if his guess was correct.
"I won't waste my breath. Do me a favor, and I'll leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and stop disturbing your sleep. How about that?" Zhou Shu said with an indifferent expression.
"You..." The woman was clearly a phantom, but she was so angry that her chest heaved violently.
"Say it!" The woman added through gritted teeth, "You'd better keep your promise, or I won't let you off!"
"Don't make it sound like you've suffered a great loss." Zhou Shu smiled. "If you help me, I'll help you in the future."
"Hmph, take care of yourself first. If you have something to say, say it quickly!" the woman said bluntly.
"It's very simple. I just woke up, and I'm a little short on money. I plan to borrow something from the demon cubs of the Demon Realm to deal with emergencies. This Demon Realm Ancestral Court is not bad. I'll borrow it temporarily. When the time comes, cooperate with me," Zhou Shu said indifferently.
"Since you said that the Demon Ancestor lent you the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, there's no problem with you controlling the weather here, right?
