"The path of forging, especially forging connate divine weapons, is considered stealing heavenly secrets. It is a taboo to Heaven," Shi Changsheng said seriously. "Therefore, any forger who can forge connate divine weapons will become a thorn in the side of Heaven.
"Let me put it this way. None of the forgers I knew who could forge connate divine weapons had a good ending.
"You've already crossed that line, so you're in danger now. If you want to live, you have to move forward bravely. When it's time to fight, you have to fight!"
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng. Although Shi Changsheng was sometimes unreliable, it had to be said that he knew much more than ordinary people.
After all, he was an ancient mighty figure.
"Will I definitely live if I fight?" Zhou Shu asked rhetorically. "Is it considered fighting to dig up the secret chamber you mentioned? I'll deal with whatever comes my way. I'm still young. What do you mean by my fate is unknown in my old age? I'm still far from it."
"If a person doesn't think far ahead, they will definitely have immediate worries. Young fellow, you have to look far ahead," Shi Changsheng advised earnestly.
"And then? If it was so easy to solve, would you still be in that state, Old Shi?" Zhou Shu said. "You can't even solve your own problem. Will the method you teach me work?
"You keep talking about Heaven and so on, but I've never seen what Heaven looks like." Zhou Shu shrugged indifferently. "At most, in my later years, I'll be like you. Isn't that fine?"
Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes. "Which part of me looks fine to you? If not for the Divine Stone just now, my divine soul would have dissipated!
"How many Divine Stones are there in this world? Where will you find so many Divine Stones to extend your life in the future?"
In his anger, Shi Changsheng blurted out his secret.
So he needs Divine Stones to extend his life? Is there such a flaw in uniting your body with a weapon? Zhou Shu frowned in thought. As for what Shi Changsheng said about the fate of forgers being unknown in their old age, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Putting aside the truth, even if it was true, he didn't believe that Shi Changsheng could have any way to resolve it. Shi Changsheng had already fallen into such a state. What could he do?
Zhou Shu only had one principle. No matter what Shi Changsheng revealed, he wouldn't help him find any secret chamber.
He didn't lack heaven and earth treasures now. Why bother?
He only needed to forge properly and accumulate strength. He didn't have to worry about not having heaven and earth treasures.
Not to mention anything else, if he went to the Treasure Distribution Rock to distribute a wave of connate divine weapons, the various grotto-heavens would reimburse him, and martial artists would take the initiative to give him various heaven and earth treasures.
Did Shi Changsheng think he was like him?
What Zhou Shu lacked the least now was heaven and earth treasures.
Even without these things, even if he didn't do anything now, with Wang Xuanyi as his worker, as long as Wang Xuanyi killed enough demonic beasts, Zhou Shu's Seven Swords of Heaven Interception would reach perfection.
If the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception reached perfection, even though Zhou Shu didn't dare to say that he would be number one in the world, he would definitely be able to compete with the pinnacle experts in the world.
At that time, wouldn't it be easy to find treasures?
If he went now and something unexpected happened, wouldn't he regret it?
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng and changed the topic. "Old Shi, I'll think about the secret chamber. Why don't you tell me more about the unknown fate of forgers?"
"What's there to say? Just wait for death," Shi Changsheng said angrily. "If you stop forging connate divine weapons from now on, you might not be discovered.
"But it's unlikely. The connate divine weapons you've forged have already spread, and they can't be hidden. In other words, wait for death."
Zhou Shu: "…"
"Forget it. I won't ask." Zhou Shu was speechless. "I'll change the question. Did Bai Qianqian give up her physical body because of the unknown fate of forgers?"
Although Bai Qianqian was a little weak, she had forged the Tiger Soul Saber before. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a forger.
In the past, Zhou Shu didn't think too much about it. After all, Grotto-Heaven realm experts would definitely face many battles. With Bai Qianqian's intelligence, it wasn't strange at all for her to be beaten until only her divine soul was left.
Now that he heard what Shi Changsheng said, since Bai Qianqian had only had her divine soul left, she seemed to have been in a similar situation as Shi Changsheng.
Shi Changsheng glanced at Zhou Shu without saying anything.
Zhou Shu couldn't help laughing. Shi Changsheng is really an old bastard.
He threw out a pile of forging materials. "Ten questions."
"That's more like it." Shi Changsheng didn't have the slightest awareness that one did not accept food handed out in contempt. He chuckled as he put away the forging materials.
"Alright." Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. I hope it's worth it.
"If Bai Qianqian has reconstructed her body, can she avoid the unknown fate of forgers?" Zhou Shu asked.
"Reconstructed her body?" Shi Changsheng raised his eyebrows and frowned. "What do you mean by reconstructed her body?"
"I mean having a new body, a brand-new body that has nothing to do with the original," Zhou Shu explained.
A light flashed in Shi Changsheng's eyes as he looked at Zhou Shu. "Do you have a way to reconstruct the body?"
He reacted quickly and immediately thought of Wang Xuanyi. "Is that why Wang Xuanyi gave you the Divine Stones?"
He finally understood why Wang Xuanyi had given the Divine Stones to Zhou Shu.
One had to know that Wang Xuanyi had treated those Divine Stones as treasures.
Zhou Shu smiled without saying anything. Courtesy demands reciprocity. Since you charge me when I ask questions, why would I answer your questions for free?
Shi Changsheng stared at Zhou Shu and snorted. "Even if you don't say it, I know the answer! You're strange. I don't know where you learned all kinds of strange divine abilities! I'm not surprised that you have a way to help the divine soul reconstruct the body!
"But let me tell you, it's useless!"
Shi Changsheng said seriously, "Unless the divine soul changes as well, it's useless to only change the body!
"I've already united my body with my weapon. I can't even be considered a human anymore. In the end? I still can't escape."
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. Previously, Bai Qianqian was full of confidence and ran out of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
If what Shi Changsheng said was true, she would probably be in trouble.
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng and suddenly thought of another question.
The moment he mentioned reconstructing the body, Shi Changsheng immediately thought of Wang Xuanyi.
Could the relative Wang Xuanyi wants to save also be a forger?
The fate of forgers is unknown in their old age, but what about martial artists who use connate divine weapons?
Could this be the fundamental reason why demonic beasts reject the use of divine weapons?
Their fate is unknown in their old age. How old is considered old age?
With Zhou Shu's current cultivation, it was probably not a problem for him to live for hundreds or thousands of years. According to normal circumstances, his old age would be at least a thousand years…
In that case, he wasn't in a hurry.
Noticing the change in Zhou Shu's expression, Shi Changsheng suddenly said, "A friendly reminder. The fate of forgers is unknown in their old age. Under normal circumstances, the unknown will only happen when the strength of forgers declines in their old age, but it's an exception when Heaven awakens.
"I told you before that Heaven is asleep most of the time. Every once in a while, it will wake up. During this period of awakening, it will clean up the world, and forgers are the focus of its cleanup. They can't avoid it."
Shi Changsheng said leisurely, "You're lucky. Heaven is just waking up. It should take a few decades for it to wake up completely. You still have a few decades to live comfortably…"
Zhou Shu: "…"
I only have a few decades left to live comfortably with a thousand-year lifespan?
You call that good luck?
Shi Changsheng is such a sarcastic bastard. He just wants to force me to fight for it. I won't do as he wishes. With my current status, do I need to fight for it? It's always others who take the initiative to send themselves to my door!
