Yang Hong was stunned and a little dumbfounded. It turned out that there was nothing special about him. It was just that the weapon that the king forged for him was a little special.

Zhou Shu confirmed his thoughts. Whoever had a connate divine weapon was Gao Chongming’s junior brother.

“I’m not your junior brother,” Zhou Shu said. “You’re mistaken.”

“How could I be mistaken?” Gao Chongming said in all seriousness. “I will never mistake a connate divine weapon. You can enter the Heavenly Hub Armory and have a connate divine weapon recognize you as its master. If you’re not my junior brother, how can you do it?”

“Tushan also has a connate divine weapon. She also came in…” Zhou Shu said.

“A female? We don’t accept females in the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.” Gao Chongming waved his hand.

The face of Lu Wenshuang, who had just arrived behind Zhou Shu, darkened. This man was too annoying. Didn’t a female give birth to him?

Lu Wenshuang harrumphed and rolled her eyes at Gao Chongming.

“Alright.” Zhou Shu couldn’t figure out Gao Chongming’s logic and didn’t intend to argue with him. “Brother Gao, have you been sleeping in the Heavenly Hub Armory?”

The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain had been destroyed countless years ago, and more than half of the Heavenly Hub Armory had been destroyed. Gao Chongming claimed to be a direct disciple of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain and even said that he was the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory. He was very suspicious.

If he wasn’t lying, didn’t it mean he was from the same era as Shi Changsheng?

Didn’t that mean he was thousands of years old?

Although it seemed that he also had a Grotto-Heaven realm cultivation base, Grotto-Heaven realm martial artists couldn’t live for so many years.

Even Shi Changsheng, the master of a grotto-heaven, had used the method of fusing with a divine weapon to survive until now. How could he, Gao Chongming, survive until now intact?

“Yes. Where else would I go if not here?” Gao Chongming said matter-of-factly. “My duty is to protect the Heavenly Hub Armory. Of course I can’t leave this place.

“If I hadn’t chased that woman away just now, wouldn’t she have barged into the upper levels of the Heavenly Hub Armory?”

“Brother Gao, do you know the current situation of the Heavenly Hub Armory?” Zhou Shu was now certain that there was something wrong with Gao Chongming’s brain.

“What situation? What other situation could there be in Heavenly Hub Armory?” Gao Chongming retorted. “Although the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain has been destroyed, as long as I, Gao Chongming, am still here, the Heavenly Hub Armory will be here, and so will the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!”

He looked determined, and the light in his face moved Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu seemed to have discovered a secret.

“Brother Gao, Tushan thought of a way to snatch the Kun Wu Saber. It seems that she wants to enter the Heavenly Hub Armory to find something. Is there anything in the Heavenly Hub Armory that’s useful to Demon Kings?” Zhou Shu asked.

He had asked Shi Changsheng this question before, but Shi Changsheng wasn’t the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory, so he naturally didn’t know.

When he had first met Gao Chongming, Zhou Shu had tried to summon the Longevity Sword to identify him.

But for some reason, the Longevity Sword refused to come out of the Cosmic Bangle.

Zhou Shu didn’t have a good solution to the Longevity Sword. But since Gao Chongming called himself the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory, Zhou Shu naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.

Gao Chongming treated Zhou Shu and Yang Hong as his junior brothers, so he had no qualms about speaking.

“Something useful to Demon Kings?” Gao Chongming said disdainfully. “Any one of the divine weapons in my Heavenly Hub Armory is useful to them.”

Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows slightly. What Gao Chongming understood as useful might not be the same for Tushan.

“Isn’t the Kun Wu Saber the most powerful weapon in the Heavenly Hub Armory? She already has it. If it’s just to increase her combat power, she shouldn’t have any reason to barge into Heavenly Hub Armory again, right?” Zhou Shu changed his way of asking.

“Who told you that the Kun Wu Saber is the most powerful weapon in Heavenly Hub Armory?” Gao Chongming looked at Zhou Shu strangely and casually said, “There aren’t too many weapons more powerful than Kun Wu Saber in the Heavenly Hub Armory. Our master said back then that the most powerful divine weapon is always the next one.

“However, I think the most powerful divine weapon in the Heavenly Hub Armory is the Heaven-Breaking Sword in my hand.” Gao Chongming triumphantly waved the door-like sword in his hand.

“Oh yes, I remember now.” Gao Chongming suddenly patted his head. “That woman might be here for it!”

“What?” Zhou Shu asked.

“Our Heavenly Hub Armory does have a divine weapon related to demonic beasts.” Gao Chongming rubbed his chin. “However, this divine weapon was just the cave master’s idea, and he didn’t succeed in forging it. That woman is also a fool. What’s the use of snatching an incomplete weapon away?

“Could it be that she thinks a demonic beast like her can successfully forge a divine weapon that even the cave master didn’t succeed in forging?

“That’s hilarious.”

Gao Chongming seemed to think of something funny and laughed out loud.

Zhou Shu, Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Lu Wenshuang looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other’s eyes.

So that’s why!

This was probably the reason Tushan wanted to find Zhou Shu.

No wonder she was so excited when she saw that Zhou Shu could forge a connate divine weapon. It turned out that she wanted Zhou Shu to help her forge an incomplete divine weapon!

“Brother Gao, what exactly is the unfinished divine weapon you mentioned? Can we take a look?” Zhou Shu asked.

“What’s there to see?” Gao Chongming’s expression dimmed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal. “The cave master has already died. This divine weapon can no longer be completed.

“An unfinished divine weapon is a piece of scrap metal, just like the weapons in their hands.” Gao Chongming pointed at Mi Ziwen’s and Lu Wenshuang’s weapons.

Their faces darkened. Why were their weapons scrap metal?

Their weapons were also divine weapons in the Ten Nations.

Other than connate divine weapons, the rest were all scrap metal?

Are you looking down on others just because you’re the owner of the Heavenly Hub Armory?

Lu Wenshuang really wanted to use the Abyss Rainbow Sword in her hand to slash Gao Chongming’s face.

“Even if it’s a piece of junk, it’s still the work of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. If we can take a look, it will definitely be beneficial to us juniors,” Zhou Shu said casually.

Gao Chongming was in a good mood after hearing his flattery. “That’s true. The cave master was almighty. If you learn anything, you can benefit greatly.

“Since you have this ambition, I’ll give you a chance.”

Gao Chongming waved his hand. “Follow me. I’ll broaden your horizons today.”

As he spoke, he started to move forward.

Zhou Shu winked at them and followed Gao Chongming.

Mi Ziwen, Yang Hong, and Lu Wenshuang followed closely behind.

Gao Chongming was very fast. Zhou Shu could still keep up. Mi Ziwen and the other two were already using all their strength, but they were still panting from the chase.

After running for more than two hours, Gao Chongming finally stopped.

By this time, Mi Ziwen and the other two were so tired that they were out of breath.

Gao Chongming seemed to be very dissatisfied. “The disciples of our Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain have unparalleled physiques. Junior Brothers, you have to cultivate more.

“Also, you have to be careful when making friends. Don’t interact with those weaklings. You shouldn’t lower yourself.”

Mi Ziwen and Lu Wenshuang received another 10,000 points of damage.

Yang Hong was also a little embarrassed. His cultivation level was much lower than Mi Ziwen’s and Lu Wenshuang’s. Since he said that they were weak, then what was he?

If not for the Crimson Firmament Sword, he would probably be worse than a weakling.

“Junior Brothers, I’ll show you my ability today. Watch me bring you to the ninth heaven!”

Gao Chongming roared, and a violent aura erupted from his body. His Heaven-Breaking Sword reached into the sky.

The three of them looked in the direction Gao Chongming was pointing.

Then… there was no ‘then’.

“Mm?” Gao Chongming was a little puzzled. He thrust the sword toward the sky again. “Open!”
