858 One Strike Will Destroy You (1)

“Say, Mr. Ji, aren’t you bragging a little too much?” Zhou Shu transmitted his voice while walking beside Ji Lutian.

At this moment, they had already left the Sima Grotto-Heaven and were above the Endless Sea.

Zheng Jingyun was testing the power of the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod in the sky above the Endless Sea.

Under his activation, the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod swept up giant water dragons and churned the seawater of the Endless Sea. There was indeed immense destructive power.

The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod naturally had the ability to control seawater.

But it was only because Zheng Jingyun was strong enough to create such an effect.

Otherwise, even if ordinary martial artists obtained the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod, they might not be able to use it.

“Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems,” Ji Lutian said confidently. “You don’t know Zheng Jingyun’s identity, which is why you have such doubts.

“It’s hard to say for others, but if Zheng Jingyun has the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod, even if he’s only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, he can still defeat Grotto-Heaven realm experts.

“He did this back then. With only cultivation at the Earth Immortal realm, he was the only one who could kill a Grotto-Heaven realm expert. No, now there’s you.

“With Zheng Jingyun’s talent, coupled with the power of the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod and my incense technique, if he still can’t be invincible on the Endless Sea, wouldn’t the three of us be incompetent?”

Zhou Shu: “…”

Although Ji Lutian’s words were a little extreme, after Zhou Shu thought about it, it did make sense.

Zheng Jingyun was a rare Martial Dao genius who could even fight experts across realms.

Zhou Shu had personally forged the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod.

If Ji Lutian taught him the incense mystic technique, wouldn’t it be the combined strength of the three of them?

It was really not that Ji Lutian was bragging, but the three of them combined would likely make any enemy frown.

Even Zhou Shu felt that if Zheng Jingyun couldn’t be invincible on the Endless Sea, it would be a waste of their reputation.

Boom!

A total of eighty-one water dragons descended from the sky and pierced the surface of the Endless Sea, creating huge thousand-foot-tall waves.

Zheng Jingyun stood in midair without dodging, allowing the water from the huge waves to fall on his body.

He turned around and looked at Ji Lutian. He was silent for a moment before saying, “Ji Lutian, is your method reliable?”

“Of course. Aren’t I an obvious example?” Ji Lutian said. “You are the young master of the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the number two expert of the Sima Grotto-Heaven. Everyone in the Sima Grotto-Heaven respects you like a god. If you cultivate the incense mystic technique, you will only be stronger than me.”

Ji Lutian spoke eloquently and analyzed the pros and cons for Zheng Jingyun.

“Since the thirty-six grotto-heavens, no one has been able to seize a complete section of the world from Heaven. No matter how hard you cultivate, it’s impossible for you to surpass the masters of the thirty-six grotto-heavens. On the other hand, my Dao of Incense is endless. You will only keep getting stronger.”

For the first time, Zhou Shu realized that Ji Lutian’s eloquence was indeed worthy of an old monster who had lived for countless years.

If he were Zheng Jingyun, he would be tempted.

If the path of using grotto-heavens had already come to an end, wasn’t changing to another path the right choice?

Ji Lutian’s words also made Zhou Shu realize that the masters of the 36 grotto-heavens back then seemed to be different from the current peak Grotto-Heaven realm experts.

“Alright, I’ll believe you once more!” Zheng Jingyun gritted his teeth. “If you dare to lie to me again, I’ll bring you along with me even if I die!”

From Zheng Jingyun’s expression, it was obvious that he had suffered at Ji Lutian’s hands before.

Ji Lutian might look like a decent person, but he was full of schemes. One might be schemed against at any time.

The incense mystic technique seemed to be a shortcut, but Zhou Shu knew that there was more to it than meets the eye.

Competing for incense was exactly the same as fighting for cultivation resources.

How could it be so easy to become stronger without incense?

But how could incense be so easy to obtain?

Even without this, after everyone severed their Grotto-Heaven realm cultivation, it was still uncertain if Heaven would really let humans off.

Zheng Jingyun looked refined, but he was indeed a ruthless person. Before he finished speaking, before Zhou Shu could persuade him, his body had already exploded with crackling sounds.

Then Zhou Shu saw a ball of light emerge from his body. The light was a little illusory, and it vaguely looked like a small world.

Crack!

Zheng Jingyun raised the Golden-Hooped Rod and smashed the ball of light.

With a loud bang, the ball of light exploded, and countless rays of light flew in all directions and vanished into the world.

Zhou Shu didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that the world seemed to have changed, and the sky had become brighter.

Zhou Shu had some vague insights and fell into a daze.

Ji Lutian flew up to Zheng Jingyun and whispered something.

The weakening of Zheng Jingyun’s aura suddenly stopped.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a look of determination appeared on his face.

He sat cross-legged in the air, and invisible forces seemed to be flying from the Sima Grotto-Heaven and landing on his body.

His aura gradually stabilized.

At the same time, the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod gradually fused into his body.
