“Connate weapon?” Mi Ziwen said doubtfully.

The concept of connate weapons was still confined to the group of forgers. Mi Ziwen didn’t know about it.

Zhou Shu explained briefly and then said, “This Demon King is extremely powerful, and it’s very difficult to kill her. Since I’ve failed to kill her this time, the location of our camp is no longer a secret.”

Zhou Shu’s expression was solemn. When he entered the Dream Realm, he had learned that Demon Queen Tushan was a unique Demon King in the Demon Realm. She had always been alone and didn’t have an army of demonic beasts under her.

But it was hard to say if she would cooperate with other Demon Kings and send an army to besiege the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.

!!

She knew where the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch was.

He had to guard against this.

“If all else fails, we can retreat deep into the cave. It won’t be easy for them to find us,” Mi Ziwen said in a deep voice. The karst cave where the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch was ran extremely deep and extended in all directions.

They had been there for so long, but they hadn’t explored the limits of the cave.

“Let’s get ready first.” Zhou Shu pondered. “Demon Queen Tushan has no troops. With her personality, she might not cooperate with other Demon Kings.”

Mi Ziwen blinked. He really wanted to ask Zhou Shu, Are you sure you know her character?

That Demon Queen has an unpredictable personality. Who can guess what she’ll do?

“I’m more curious about what she wants to do that needs a connate supreme weapon,” Zhou Shu said.

“Second Brother, is a connate supreme weapon very powerful?” Mi Ziwen asked curiously. “Will Tushan’s strength increase greatly after obtaining the Kun Wu Saber?”

“Connate supreme weapons are very powerful, maybe even more powerful than you think, Big Brother,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “Tushan lost to me only because she had just obtained the Kun Wu Saber and hadn’t refined it into an intrinsic supreme weapon. Otherwise, I might not have been able to defeat her.

“Connate supreme weapons are different from acquired weapons. Connate supreme weapons can be refined into intrinsic supreme weapons by martial artists. This way, connate supreme weapons will be connected to the meridians of martial artists. While strengthening the meridians of martial artists, they can also nurture the power of connate supreme weapons.

“Let’s put it this way. The longer a martial artist nourishes a connate supreme weapon, the greater its power will be. If it can really be nurtured for hundreds of years, it will only be a matter of time before the martial artist’s strength increases by several times.”

Mi Ziwen’s expression changed slightly. It was against common sense for martial artists to increase their strength by several times. If it wasn’t his second brother saying it, he wouldn’t even believe it.

“Are connate supreme weapons really that powerful?” Mi Ziwen murmured.

“A connate supreme weapon, one with the weapon. This is a way to pursue breaking through the limits of the human body,” Zhou Shu said in a low voice. “In extreme situations, you can even treat weapons as human bodies and become immortal.”

Zhou Shu thought of Shi Changsheng. Shi Changsheng’s current state should be similar to what he said.

He used the Longevity Sword as his body. As long as the Longevity Sword was not destroyed, he would not be destroyed.

As a connate supreme weapon, under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be a problem for the Longevity Sword to exist for tens of thousands of years.

As for martial artists? A first-rank martial artist only had a lifespan of 300 to 500 years. An Earth Immortal could double their lifespan, but they only had a lifespan of less than a thousand years.

Zhou Shu didn’t know about Grotto Heaven masters, but he estimated that they would at most live for thousands of years.

Compared to connate supreme weapons, thousands of years was really nothing.

Of course, relying on a connate supreme weapon to be immortal wasn’t as simple as Zhou Shu made it out to be. Just nurturing the connate supreme weapon to the point where a human soul could reside in it required a lot of time and effort.

Mi Ziwen opened his mouth, the shock on his face not even fading.

He looked at Zhou Shu and hesitated for a long time before finally saying nothing.

Although Mi Ziwen was rich, a connate supreme weapon was probably not something that money could buy.

He didn’t want his greed to damage the brotherhood between him and Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu didn’t think too much about it. If there was a chance, he didn’t mind helping Mi Ziwen forge a connate supreme weapon.

But from the looks of it, the materials in the camp were no longer enough to forge another connate weapon.

If nothing else, the Heaven Refining Stone had almost been exhausted.

Although they had brought a lot of forging materials over from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, they still had to supply the entire Ten Nations Army with weapons and equipment. It was impossible for them to use all of them to forge connate supreme weapons.

The strength of connate supreme weapons was in their growth potential. Without nurturing, their power was only slightly stronger than heaven-grade weapons.

“Second Brother, do you have any instructions on how we should guard against that Demon Queen Tushan?”

Mi Ziwen had to rush to discuss countermeasures with Meng Bai and the others. The location of this camp was no longer a secret. All their strategic deployments had to be adjusted accordingly.

Zhou Shu usually didn’t interfere in these matters and left them to the various generals. As Zhou Shu’s elder brother and Meng Bai’s personal disciple, Mi Ziwen was qualified to participate.

“No,” Zhou Shu blurted out. He suddenly paused and waved his hand. “Wait. Where’s Tushan’s tail?”

“In the storeroom,” Mi Ziwen said, puzzled. The body of a Demon King was, in a sense, a natural treasure. They certainly wouldn’t abandon it.

Zhou Shu looked thoughtful. “Where’s Little Lu? How is she?”

“In order to resist Tushan, Miss Lu forcefully used a forbidden technique, but she was interrupted by Tushan. Tushan didn’t intend to kill her, so her injuries aren’t too serious,” Mi Ziwen said.

Zhou Shu nodded. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Big Brother, please help me call Little Lu over. Also, go find General Meng and the others later. Let me figure out what Tushan wants the connate supreme weapon for!”

Mi Ziwen looked puzzled, but he still followed Zhou Shu’s instructions and went to find Lu Wenshuang.

Lu Wenshuang’s face was pale, and she walked unsteadily.

But her situation was still better than Zhou Shu’s.

Zhou Shu, who was in a weakened state, didn’t even have the strength to walk!

“Little Lu, how are your injuries?” Zhou Shu asked.

“Thank you for your concern, Master. It’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days,” Lu Wenshuang said.

“That’s good.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Don’t be so rash next time. Remember, if you can’t win, run. Where there’s life, there’s hope. You’re still so young. It’s not embarrassing to lose to a Demon King.”

“Got it,” Lu Wenshuang said unhappily. She wasn’t unhappy because she had lost. She was unhappy because Zhou Shu looked down on her and because she had dragged him down.

Lu Wenshuang wasn’t afraid of losing, but she wasn’t willing to be a burden, nor was she willing to be underestimated, especially by Zhou Shu!

Zhou Shu pondered. “I have an assignment for you first. Let me make this clear first. This mission isn’t compulsory. Whether you do it or not is up to you.”

“I’ll do it,” Lu Wenshuang said firmly before Zhou Shu could finish speaking.

“I haven’t finished—”

“Master, would you deliberately harm me?” Lu Wenshuang asked.

“Of course not. After all, you’re my only disciple, though only in name—”

“That’ll do.” Lu Wenshuang said. “Master, you won’t harm me. Then, as long as I can help you, I’ll do it.”

She, Lu Wenshuang, was definitely not a woman who would only drag others down!

“Alright.” Zhou Shu pondered for a moment and said, “I have a supreme ability that can let you…”

His lips moved, but no sound came out. Even though they were inside the camp, he still used his voice transmission technique.

Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique was too heaven-defying. It was better for fewer people to know about it. After all, no one was willing to let their secrets be easily pried into.

Lu Wenshuang’s expression kept changing. She frowned and relaxed.

Lu Wenshuang opened her mouth but couldn’t help asking, “Master, have you ever used this on me?”

“Nonsense, of course not! Am I that kind of person?!” Zhou Shu shouted. “If I was willing to use it on a woman, why would I need you? I could use it on Tushan myself! If you dare to doubt me again, I’ll punish you according to the family law!”
