Gao Chongming held the Heaven-Breaking Sword high up in the air with one hand and his other hand on his waist. He stood upright with his head held high, looking majestic.
Zhou Shu and the other three felt as if a phenomenon would descend from the sky in the next moment.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction except for a gust of wind.
Gao Chongming’s face was full of confusion. He kept raising his hand, putting it down, and then raising it again.
He kept shouting, “Open! Open for me!”
Zhou Shu looked helpless. Gao Chongming was clearly out of his mind. Why did he trust him so much?
“Brother Gao, if you can’t, forget it…” Zhou Shu said.
“I can’t? Who says I can’t?!” Gao Chongming said loudly. “I just forgot the correct incantation for a moment. Wait for me to try again!”
He fell back into continuous attempts. He looked very much like the youths suffering from eight grade syndrome in Zhou Shu’s previous life.
At this moment, if he shouted for a transformation…
Zhou Shu shook his head with a bitter smile. He turned to look at Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Lu Wenshuang. He had saved all three of them, so he had completed his main goal for this trip.
As for whether he could gain anything from the Heavenly Hub Armory, it didn’t seem to be that important.
Moreover, even if Gao Chongming couldn’t bring them there, Demon Queen Tushan wouldn’t give up.
She had spent so much effort to get Zhou Shu to the Heavenly Hub Armory, so she wouldn’t let him leave so easily.
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the clear sky. Gao Chongming’s face lit up.
“I told you there was no problem!” Gao Chongming shouted. “Watch me, open!”
He shouted and pointed the Heaven-Breaking Sword at the sky. A sword beam pierced the sky.
In the clouds, seven-colored light suddenly descended.
The seven-colored light condensed into steps that extended from the sky to Gao Chongming.
Gao Chongming looked smug and raised his chin at Zhou Shu and the others.
“Follow me.” With a wave of his hand, he led the way up the steps formed by the rainbow light.
Gao Chongming was very fast. He took several steps at a time and quickly disappeared into the clouds.
At this moment, the steps condensed by the seven-colored light were already showing signs of dissipating.
Zhou Shu and the others didn’t dare to delay and stepped onto the steps.
A moment later, they had already disappeared into the clouds.
Suddenly, a figure appeared not far away.
Who else could it be but Tushan?
She looked in the direction where the few of them had disappeared with a smile on her face.
Then a light lit up on her body, and she disappeared in an instant.
If Zhou Shu had taken an elevator from the first level of the Heavenly Hub Armory to the second level, then he had broken through the wall from the second level to the third. Now that he had entered the fourth level from the third, it felt like he was taking the stairs.
After passing through the clouds, he felt as if he had arrived in another world. The colorful steps under his feet had already disappeared.
The fourth level of the Heavenly Hub Armory in front of them felt like an armory. All they could see were dusty forging furnaces and collapsed weapons racks.
The weapons on the racks had disappeared. He wondered if they had been taken by the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain’s disciples when the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain had been destroyed.
“This is the place where the disciples of Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain forged back then.” Gao Chongming seemed a little more normal than before. “Unfortunately, the fire is no longer here. It’s gone…”
His voice was full of sorrow, and it fused with the dead environment in front of them, making Zhou Shu and the others feel depressed.
Zhou Shu coughed lightly. “Brother Gao, the Heavenly Hub Armory isn’t just a place to store weapons? Are weapons also forged here?”
His voice freed Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Lu Wenshuang from their sorrowful emotions. The three of them were drenched in sweat. They were actually affected by Gao Chongming’s emotions and almost fell into this hopeless mood.
When they looked at Gao Chongming again, their faces were full of vigilance.
Gao Chongming didn’t seem to notice their reaction. He had just revealed his emotions and didn’t have any intention of targeting anyone.
“That’s a misunderstanding that outsiders have toward the Heavenly Hub Armory.” Gao Chongming snorted. “The nine heavens of the Heavenly Hub Armory is where disciples of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain train and cultivate. Of course, it has weapons inside. The weapons forged by the cave master and the others are all stored here.
“It’s as much our home as the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!”
Pain flashed across Gao Chongming’s face. He must have remembered something.
“Come with me,” Gao Chongming said. “Although the fires in the senior and junior brothers’ furnaces have been extinguished, the fire in the cave master’s furnace is still burning. The weapon you want to see is still in the fire.”
He stepped forward. His casual words surprised Zhou Shu and the others.
The furnace of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was still burning?
The True Fire burning in the furnaces of forgers was supported by the spiritual essence of martial artists. Without the support of the martial artists’ spiritual essence, the True Fire would quickly be extinguished.
How many years had it been since the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain had died? Why was the fire in his furnace still burning?
Confused, Zhou Shu followed.
This time, Gao Chongming didn’t use his movement technique. Instead, he stepped forward step by step.
