Chapter 1374 The Legendary Armament Canon Can Reward Living People? (1)
"If they could really live forever, why couldn't any of them do it?" Lin Kedi said disdainfully. "The emperor is so wise and mighty. I don't know why he believes such nonsense."
Lin Kedi muttered the last sentence softly.
Zhou Shu revealed a thoughtful expression. He naturally knew that the human race didn't have any Ancient Heavenly Court legacy at all.
Be it the Freedom Technique or the divine ability One Against Ten Thousand, they were all rewards Zhou Shu had gotten from the Legendary Armament Canon.
Originally, Zhou Shu thought that these rewards came from the Origin World.
And now, it seemed that the Origin World might be related to the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Zhou Shu pondered and asked, "Brother Lin, when did the Ancient Heavenly Court fall?"
"I'm not sure." Lin Kedi shook his head. "The Five Heavenly Kingdoms were born after the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court. At the time, I wasn't even born. It has been at least tens of thousands of years since then."
Lin Kedi said, "King Zhou, we've been through thick and thin together. Let me tell you a secret."
He lowered his voice and whispered, "The emperors of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms were members of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
"It's just that they went their separate ways later."
Lin Kedi's words caused waves in Zhou Shu's heart.
Not only were the Five Heavenly Kingdoms separated from the ancestral land, but the emperors of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms were from the Ancient Heavenly Court?
How powerful was the Ancient Heavenly Court?!
The emperors of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms came from the Ancient Heavenly Court, and now, they called the human race remnants of the Heavenly Court.
Was the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court the work of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms' emperors?
If they did it, didn't they grab the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court?
If the Ancient Heavenly Court was really so powerful, how could it have been destroyed by the Five Heavenly Kingdoms' emperors?
He was full of doubts.
But from the looks of it, Lin Kedi didn't seem to know much.
It was obvious after thinking about it. Although Lin Kedi's status in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom was not low, his personality was different from Lin Kelei. He was an honest person. He only focused on the Martial Dao and was indifferent to other things.
He didn't think much of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms' emperors plotting for the Ancient Heavenly Court's legacy.
But this was good. If Lin Kedi was also interested in the Ancient Heavenly Court's legacy, Zhou Shu would have to be even more vigilant of him.
This way, at least he didn't have to worry about him doing anything inappropriate.
After all, Zhou Shu felt that Lin Kedi's mercenary group was very powerful.
"They all say that the Ancient Heavenly Court was powerful, but in my opinion, it was just so-so. Otherwise, why would they be destroyed?" Lin Kedi said disdainfully. "No matter how powerful the legacy is, it depends on the individual. Why can't we work hard to become stronger than the people of the Ancient Heavenly Court?
"But King Zhou, if you've obtained any benefits from the Ancient Heavenly Court's legacy, don't hide it now. The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom isn't so easy to deal with. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them off for long."
Zhou Shu nodded. "I understand."
He wanted to too. The problem was that the human race didn't have any hidden foundations at all.
In order to deal with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, they had already used 120% of their strength. He had almost emptied the Huaxia Pavilion's assets to hire the people from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
If he had to take out any more at this time, what would he use?
There were no hidden experts in the human race anymore.
But there was no way to say this directly to Lin Kedi.
Although Lin Kedi's performance had always been completely in line with his mercenary status, and he was very particular about getting paid to do things, it was hard to say if they would have any other thoughts if they knew the true strength of the human race.
One had to be wary of others!
It was quite good to keep the human race mysterious in their eyes.
After chatting with Lin Kedi and confirming that the people from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom didn't show any signs of attacking again for the time being, Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the Eight Views Palace of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven to begin recuperation.
…
Creating five incarnations at once and having all of them die in battle was extremely damaging to Zhou Shu.
Previously, in front of Lin Kedi, Zhou Shu had been holding on.
In fact, this injury was the most serious he had ever suffered.
If he wasn't careful, his origin would be damaged, and his cultivation would drop.
As soon as he returned to the Eight Views Palace, Zhou Shu went straight into seclusion.
Everyone knew the severity of the matter. Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, and Bai Qianqian immediately closed the Eight Views Palace, not allowing anyone to approach.
After an unknown period of time, the turmoil in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom gradually subsided. They launched a few more attacks, but they were all blocked by the humans and the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom's mercenaries.
The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom seemed to have changed their strategy. They no longer attacked en masse but kept harassing them.
After one or two battles, the combat strength of the human race was greatly consumed. But the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom had many people. They took turns to fight, so the human race had no chance to rest.
By now, almost a third of the human race had lost the ability to fight.
At this rate, the strength of the human race would be exhausted sooner or later.
At this moment, in the Eight Views Palace, Zhou Shu suddenly opened his eyes.
The expression on his face was one of utter surprise.
He was even a little confused and felt like he was in a dream.
The person in front of him was even more shocked than him.
