Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 453 - 452 Weapons and Expansion

Jian Hui couldn't help but interject, "Elder, should we also research aberrant weapons?"

The Elder of Heavenly Sword coldly said, "Shut up, what do you know? You don't even know what aberrant weapons are."

After a moment of silence, Heavenly Sword finally spoke slowly, bringing up events from sixty years ago, immersing everyone present in the memories.

"Over 60 years ago, before the Hermit of Quietude disappeared, the Immortals from Wanxian Island had worked with us to research how to control aberration, how to enable humans to continue ascending while overcoming distortion."

"At that time, over a dozen Immortals were dispatched to study aberration with us, exploring the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao."

"But what happened? The Hermit of Quietude disappeared, all research materials were burnt, the Immortals withdrew, and even the human leader at the time was imprisoned in Heaven."

"The charge... was spreading distortion."

Heavenly Sword said indifferently, "You want to research aberrant weapons, which means you're touching Heaven's reverse scale. How do you expect humans now to directly confront Immortals?"

Li Xiuzhu: "Are you afraid to die?"

"Die? Look at my current body." Heavenly Sword said coldly, "I'm only afraid that I can't die." At that moment, a faint metallic sheen emitted from the aberrant sword body of the Elder of Heavenly Sword, and a trace of blood seemed to flow out.

Li Xiuzhu began to speak, but Jian Hui found that at this very moment, he couldn't hear what the other side was saying. He only saw Li Xiuzhu and the Elder of Heavenly Sword seemingly engaged in heated discussion, with fine Sword Qi and the incandescent power of Primordial Spirits flashing through the air.

Jian Hui watched the two anxiously, unsure of what had concluded from their recent exchange.

After a long while, when Li Xiuzhu ceased speaking, he only heard the Elder of Heavenly Sword faintly say, "What do you want?"

Li Xiuzhu: "30 years ago, at the battle of the Kunlun Conference, the Kunlun Heavenly Palace fell. Your Jijian Pavilion was the closest, I want the materials that you stole from the Kunlun Heavenly Palace."

The Elder of Heavenly Sword laughed helplessly, "You really do have a big appetite."

Li Xiuzhu also gave a small chuckle and said, "And from the monks who participated in the collaboration with Wanxian Island 60 years ago, I want as many as there are."

The Elder of Heavenly Sword: "It's possible, but you should know that most of them have already been taken away by the Plague Department."

Li Xiuzhu nodded, his voice icy, "I will rescue them. As for the rest, let's proceed according to the plan we've set."

Watching Li Xiuzhu turn and leave, gradually disappearing into the darkness, an elder of the Heavenly Sword couldn't help but ask, "Li Xiuzhu, what are your plans for the upcoming Grand Luo Heavenly Discussion?"

Li Xiuzhu's figure faded away, leaving only his voice echoing in Jian Hui's ears.

"The Grand Luo Heavenly Discussion is nothing but the Celestial Court trying to leverage its strength and reputation to forcefully divide the human race's status and fate."

"But status and fate... should be something we fight for ourselves, not given by the Celestial Court."

Watching Li Xiuzhu depart, Jian Hui couldn't help but say, "Great Elder, I would also like to participate in the research of the aberrant weapons."

...

While the elite of the human race were diligently striving, Zhou Bai, too, was making a grounded effort, step by step.

"Starting today, Yan Hai (Yan Shan's brother) is the new general manager of the Black Evil Company, let's give him a round of applause!"

"I feel that Yan Shan and Yan Hai have truly inherited my teachings, and the company will rely on them from now on.

Unlike managing the company, I prefer doing research. I've decided that from now on, I will leave the company's operations to Yan Shan and Yan Hai, and I will mainly be responsible for teaching and producing Guihai Black Sha."

"Yan Shan, Yan Hai, your parents will surely be proud of you one day, for you will be the ones to change the world, to change the Heavenly Court."

"Oh right, new students should hand over the Ice Heart Pills, and Guihai Black Sha can be collected from the other queue."

Laziness Points: 2.2 million.

...

With Yan Shan's efforts, the name of Guihai Black Sha gradually spread in the circles of divine beings.

"Have you heard? Yan Shan has started selling Guihai Black Sha."

"I've heard a while ago, and it's ridiculous that buying their Guihai Black Sha even comes with a counter to Ice Heart Pills."

"But I heard they've made a lot of money. A few days ago, I saw him buy a dragon chariot, and it's said that he can now get 50 Ice Heart Pills every week. He's planning to double the size of his mansion this year."

"What? 50 Ice Heart Pills every week? When I broke through to the sixth realm, my dad never rewarded me with so much."

As a few people discussed, Zheng Wenguang, standing off to the side, slightly furrowed his brow, feeling that things weren't so simple.

Since he returned from his previous trip, he reported the affairs of West Mountain City to Zi Yang True Monarch and was severely reprimanded, ending up staying in Central City.

However, Zheng Wenguang felt that something was fishy on one hand, while on the other, he felt his investment was justified.

At that moment, hearing the conversations of a few divine beings, especially the matter of Yan Shan getting 50 Ice Heart Pills every week, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? What's happened to Yan Shan?"

After a discussion, one of the divine beings said, "Why don't we go have a look?"

"It's just attending a class, I won't bring any artifacts or pill medicines."

Zheng Wenguang, "At worst I just won't buy their Guihai Black Sha. They can't force a sale, can they?"

As Zheng Wenguang and a few divine beings talked, they were already on their way to West Mountain City together.

Laziness Points: 2.8 million.
