776 The Eighth Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month, Endless Sea Coast (1)
“It won’t be that easy.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “Although Zhou Shu’s cultivation is inferior to ours for the time being, according to my understanding of him, it won’t be so easy for us to snatch his divine weapons. He’s not so easy to control.
“Tang Qianluo thought that he could control him, but in the end? As you saw, he suffered a double loss.”
Ji Lutian’s expression was a little strange. Even with his knowledge, he found it unbelievable that Zhou Shu, a mere Earth Immortal, could empty the treasury of a grotto-heaven that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Even today, after thinking about it over and over again, he still felt that it was impossible.
But it happened.
Not only did it happen, but the victim still didn’t know who did it.
The key was that Zheng Chengan, who had become the scapegoat, was still self-satisfied.
Thinking of this, Ji Lutian could only smile wryly.
Zheng Chengan’s expression turned serious as he looked at Ji Lutian and asked, “Old Ji, tell me the truth. Is Zhou Shu the person you chose?”
“Why do you ask?” Ji Lutian shook his head. “I never said that I was going to choose a savior for the human race. It’s just rumors. I’m just taking the opportunity to seek a chance of survival.
“If Zhou Shu hears this, he’ll probably have something against me. I’ve never chosen anyone.”
Ji Lutian denied it firmly.
He didn’t know where this news came from. He often helped juniors with potential, but it became that he was choosing the savior of the human race.
What right did he have?
“I don’t think it’s possible either,” Zheng Chengan said. “Everyone says that you have the secret to becoming the Human King. I think it’s fake. If you really had the ability, couldn’t you do it yourself? If you want to become the Human King, our Sima Grotto-Heaven will be the first to support you fully.”
“Thank you very much.” Ji Lutian was speechless. “I don’t have that ability.
“Alright, let’s not chat anymore. Time is of the essence. I have to go first.”
Ji Lutian cupped his hands at Zheng Chengan, then headed in the opposite direction of Zheng Chengan and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Chengan stayed where he was for a while before disappearing like lightning.
Not long after they disappeared, there was a wave in the air, and the Longevity Sword appeared sneakily. He lingered around the spot for a moment before pointing the tip of the sword in the direction Ji Lutian had left. The sword trembled slightly and disappeared into the air again.
…
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was approaching.
During this period of time, martial artists from all over had almost gone crazy from killing.
Countless people had died tragically for the hero invitations.
If not for the imperial families of the various nations sending armies to control the development of the situation, the number of people who died would probably be several times more than now.
Seeing that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was approaching, the imperial courts of the various nations heaved a sigh of relief.
The so-called Heroes Conference was finally about to be held. After it was held, no one would fight over the hero invitations anymore.
But they had overlooked something. When the time came, people could disregard the hero invitations and directly snatch the connate divine weapons.
Almost everyone in the world knew what connate divine weapons represented.
A connate divine weapon meant the hope of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm in the future.
Especially when the war was about to begin, having a connate divine weapon was equivalent to having an extra life. This was something that couldn’t be exchanged for an amount of money.
Countless martial artists, regardless of whether they had a hero invitation or not, gathered at the shore of the Endless Sea.
This made the countries near the Endless Sea extremely nervous.
They had even mobilized a large number of troops just to prevent so many martial artists from causing trouble.
Thousands of martial artists surged into the coastline of the Endless Sea. They had walked almost the entire coastline, but no one could find where the Treasure-Distribution Rock was.
“Boss Sun, you’re knowledgeable. Where is this Treasure-Distribution Rock?” a middle-aged man carrying a saber asked the person beside him.
“How would I know?” Sun Gongping said angrily. He had come with a few leaders from the ownerless land of Great Wei. After all, when the situation was unclear, it was better to have a few allies. If he really encountered danger, he could use them as shields.
In any case, these leaders were all evil.
“Damn it. These bullshit hero invitations are unclear. Where can we find it?” a leader cursed.
“There’s no point in being anxious,” another leader said. “Look, there are so many people here now. Sooner or later, someone will find it. We just need to wait for them to find the Treasure-Distribution Rock. In any case, we’ve already snatched hero invitations. At that time, we will definitely get connate divine weapons!”
Sun Gongping curled his lips secretly. These people are really shameless. Do they really think they can obtain connate divine weapons with the hero invitations they snatched?
Why don’t they think about what connate divine weapons are? How could it fall into the hands of scum like them so easily?
Sun Gongping understood the value and power of connate divine weapons better than others because the Spring Embroidered Saber on him was a connate divine weapon!
