869 The Consumption of Forging Materials Used to Forge the Celestial Thearch Sword Can Be Recovered (2)

Ji Lutian looked at the calm Zhou Shu, and his heart skipped a beat. Could the divine iron I left in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court really be gone?

Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case.

Ji Lutian knew Zhou Shu very well. It was precisely because he understood Zhou Shu well that Zhou Shu’s current attitude made him a little uncertain.

“I’ll remember what you said. Don’t cry when the time comes.” Zhou Shu’s eyes flashed.

These words made Ji Lutian even more uneasy.

“Let’s go to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court now!” Ji Lutian said without hesitation. “With our strength, it won’t be a problem for us to cross the gap in the barrier between the two worlds!”

“Zhou Shu, take care of my Sima Grotto-Heaven’s Celestial Thearch Sword properly!” Zheng Jingyun said confidently. “In a few days, you won’t be able to touch it anymore!”

“Is that so?” Zhou Shu smiled and flicked the body of the Celestial Thearch Sword. “That’s not what the Celestial Thearch Sword says.”

The three of them soared into the sky almost at the same time.

Strictly speaking, Zhou Shu, Ji Lutian, and Zheng Jingyun were all at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.

People at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm were actually considered experts. But in the situation where Grotto-Heaven realm experts were not rare, having cultivation at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm was really not top-notch.

But the three of them were not ordinary Earth Immortals.

Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun followed the Divine Dao that Ji Lutian had created himself. With the power of incense and the enhancement of divine weapons, their true strength surpassed that of ordinary Grotto-Heaven realm experts.

As for Zhou Shu, his strength couldn’t be measured by his spiritual essence realm. It wasn’t like he hadn’t killed Grotto-Heaven realm experts before.

If he used all his trump cards, the strength he could unleash wouldn’t be much weaker than Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun.

Not to mention sneaking in, even if they forced their way in, there was a high chance that they could break through the blockade of the Demon Realm’s demonic beasts.

Their trip to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court was uneventful. Ji Lutian had stayed in the Demon Realm for many years and was naturally extremely familiar with the situation here.

“Fortunately, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court is still here.” Ji Lutian heaved a sigh of relief when he opened the entrance of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.

“I thought that the heavenly slaves would occupy this place soon after waking up. Fortunately, their reactions in this aspect have always been slow.”

Ji Lutian smiled. “Perhaps they think that there won’t be anyone hiding here.”

Zhou Shu was also familiar with the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. He had stayed here for some time after all.

Previously, when Bai Qianqian was still here, he had forged many connate divine weapons here.

But then again, after Bai Qianqian used the Reincarnation Pill to reconstruct her body, she had disappeared. From what Wang Xuanyi said, even though she had reconstructed her body, she might not be able to escape the eyes of Heaven.

Zhou Shu shook this thought out of his mind. “Mr. Ji, where did you leave your divine iron?”

“Follow me,” Ji Lutian said. “As you know, the grotto-heavens are all cut from the Great World. The Demon Ancestor is actually a Grotto-Heaven Master, and this Demon Realm Ancestral Court is actually a section of the earth’s dragon vein.

“The earth’s dragon vein contains dragon qi. Dragon qi is the strongest of Yang energy. I used it to temper a piece of Extreme Yin divine iron. Yin and Yang coexist; dragon and tiger are in harmony…”

Zhou Shu’s expression suddenly became a little strange. As I expected!

Previously, when Zhou Shu heard Ji Lutian mention the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, his first reaction was to think of the Tiger Soul Saber forged by Bai Qianqian!

He had always wondered how Bai Qianqian could forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon that even he had yet to master back then when her forging skills were clearly only at the elementary level.

At the time, he had thought that she was lucky.

Now, he finally had an answer!

Bai Qianqian had most likely discovered the divine iron left by Ji Lutian. He had used a special method to smelt the divine iron here, and it was already close to being a divine weapon. The skill requirements were not much, and with some work, it could easily be forged into a divine weapon.

Ji Lutian had asked Zhou Shu to forge weapons not because he couldn’t do it himself but because he had higher requirements for the completed weapons.

If Bai Qianqian really obtained the divine iron left by Ji Lutian, it wouldn’t be strange if she accidentally forged the Tiger Soul Saber.

This was the only possibility that could explain why Bai Qianqian could use such poor forging skills to forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon.

Ji Lutian probably didn’t expect that Bai Qianqian had beaten him to it.

“Mr. Ji, do you know a demonic beast named Bai Qianqian?” Zhou Shu suddenly asked.

“Bai Qianqian?” Ji Lutian frowned slightly and looked thoughtful. “The name is a little familiar, but I don’t remember her.”

He pointed to his head. He had said that he couldn’t remember some of what had happened in the past.

“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Ji Lutian asked.

“Nothing. I just suddenly thought of something,” Zhou Shu said casually. “Mr. Ji, hurry up. I can’t wait to go to the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven to choose forging materials.

“To be honest, I spent a lot to forge this Celestial Thearch Sword. Fortunately, Brother Zheng Jingyun was considerate enough to come knocking on my door.”

Zheng Jingyun: “…”

I want to kill you so much. Why would I take the initiative to come knocking on your door?

Ji Lutian shook his head helplessly and frowned. He felt that Zhou Shu suddenly mentioned the name Bai Qianqian for a reason, but he couldn’t remember when he had heard this name.

Frowning, he quickened his pace.

Some time later, the three of them arrived at the end of a continuous mountain range.

Ji Lutian suddenly stopped, and his expression became very strange as he turned to look at Zhou Shu.

“Mr. Ji, why are you looking at me? Have we arrived?” Zhou Shu shrugged.

“That’s right, Ji Lutian. Why are you looking at him? If we’ve reached the place, quickly take out the thing and let this brat die convinced,” Zheng Jingyun said.

Ji Lutian didn’t say anything. He shook his head slightly and took a step forward.

After taking a step forward, Ji Lutian’s figure was ethereal as he stepped into the air. If one paid attention to his footsteps, they would be able to see that he was making incomparably mysterious steps. He was particular about each step he took and every spot he placed his feet.

Buzz—

In a moment, Ji Lutian had already taken countless steps. When he took his last step, all the footprints connected. With a soft sound and a flash of light, it was as if a giant dragon had awakened.

Amid a dragon roar, Zhou Shu and Zheng Jingyun saw the shadow of a long dragon disappear in a flash and transform back into the mountain range under their feet.

Ji Lutian stood in midair and said slowly, “It’s gone.”

“Gone?” Zheng Jingyun’s expression froze, and he raised his voice. “Ji Lutian, you mean the thing you hid is missing? Are you sure this is the place? You’re so scheming. How can you let someone else take your things?”

“There’s no mistake. This is the place. Divine iron can only be nourished under the dragon’s jaw,” Ji Lutian said in a low voice. “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. It’s indeed not here anymore.”

“I don’t believe you! Ji Lutian, did you collude with this brat to trick me?!” Zheng Jingyun shouted.

Ji Lutian’s face darkened. “Zheng Jingyun, it’s fine if you can’t afford to lose. I can help you plead with Brother Zhou. But saying that is too much.”

Zheng Jingyun also knew that he had misspoken. With Ji Lutian’s relationship with the Sima Grotto-Heaven, he wouldn’t deliberately set up a trap with someone else to trick him.

It could only be said that it was really an accident!

“Zheng Jingyun, do you want to go back on your word?” Zhou Shu said. “That’s right. If you really don’t admit defeat, there’s nothing I can do. After all, for the sake of Mr. Ji, I can’t really do anything to you—”

“Bullshit!” Zheng Jingyun shouted angrily. “I, Zheng Jingyun, am willing to bet, so I’m willing to admit defeat. I’ll bring you to the storehouse of the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s forging workshop now!”
