Chapter 1307 Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces, Seventy-Two Treasure Palaces (1)
Mu Zhixing's departure didn't cause any commotion in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
There were only a handful of people in the entire ancestral land who knew Mu Zhixing.
And apart from Zhou Shu, no one knew Mu Zhixing's true identity.
He came quietly and left quietly.
When he came, he had brought nothing with him.
When he left, he took away the Freedom Transformation Technique.
Zhou Shu didn't tamper with the cultivation technique.
Although the Freedom Transformation Technique was powerful, it was far from being Zhou Shu's strongest technique.
Moreover, even if it was the same cultivation technique, it depended on who cultivated it.
Zhou Shu didn't think that Mu Zhixing would be stronger than him just because he cultivated the Freedom Transformation Technique.
Zhou Shu's cultivation method was unique in the world.
In his opinion, using the Freedom Transformation Technique in exchange for a chance to cooperate with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom was worth it.
Mu Zhixing's identity was definitely not ordinary, and he might have great influence in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
If they could form an alliance with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, then when facing the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, the ancestral land would have another ally.
Even if it didn't work, as long as the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom didn't become enemies, it was worth it.
According to Mu Zhixing, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, Ru Shou Heavenly Kingdom, and Hou Tu Heavenly Kingdom had a dispute with the ancestral land on the concept of Great Daos.
In other words, they were all enemies of the ancestral land.
The reason why only the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom took action was that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was now connected to the ancestral land. This didn't mean that the other four heavenly kingdoms didn't have such thoughts.
If there was a chance, they might attack the ancestral land.
What Zhou Shu had to do now was to try his best to befriend some of them, although the possibility was not high.
After Mu Zhixing left, Zhou Shu entered seclusion.
The entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven fell into a busy state.
The orders Zhou Shu had issued before he entered seclusion were all being carried out in an orderly manner.
At the same time, there were undercurrents in the Ten Nations, including the Demon Realm.
Everyone was preparing for the meeting on August 15th.
As for what they were preparing, they each had their own ideas.
…
Time passed. There were several months between the time Zhou Shu sent out the invitations and the night of August 15th.
A few months passed quickly.
A few days before August 15th, people had already begun to appear in the sky above the Endless Sea.
The entrance to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was located in the depths of the Endless Sea. Originally, there was only a vortex-like entrance here, but now, it had become a gate.
That's right. After the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven fell into Zhou Shu's hands, he had modified it.
Actually, it was already a little inappropriate to call it a grotto-heaven now.
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had already fused back into the world.
But the existence of this gate showed that the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven still existed.
The gate was a memorial arch tens of meters tall, and it was completely made of white jade. It looked priceless.
Behind the memorial arch was a white jade staircase that stretched as far as the eye could see, leading deep into white clouds.
"This is the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?" an emperor in a dragon robe and crown asked in surprise.
"That's right. This is the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven," a soldier guarding outside the door said.
The first emperor to arrive was the current Qin emperor.
Great Qin had had a grudge with Zhou Shu back then. Later, the Qin emperor had even betrayed Zhou Shu.
But now that the Qin emperor was dead, these matters were meaningless.
The new Qin emperor was the grandson of the Qin emperor with whom Zhou Shu was once familiar. He had mended his relationship with Great Xia and Great Wei. Although Great Qin didn't become the strongest among the Ten Nations again, it had recovered a lot of its strength.
"I've been to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven before. It didn't use to look like this…" the Qin emperor said in thought.
"A change of sovereign brings a change of ministers. Don't tell me the Qin emperor doesn't understand such a simple principle?" A voice came, and a dragon carriage appeared in the distance, dashing over with a golden light.
Sitting on the dragon carriage was Great Xia's Emperor Yuan Feng.
"So, it's you, Xia Emperor." The Qin emperor cupped his hands in greeting. "I just felt something."
"Qin Emperor, you're early." Emperor Yuan Feng smiled and nodded slightly before stepping down from the dragon carriage.
"Isn't it the same for you?" The Qin emperor also smiled.
How can I be the same as you? Emperor Yuan Feng complained inwardly. I came to my daughter and son-in-law's house a few days early to spend some time with my daughter. Why are you, an outsider, here so early? Are you here to eat?
If the Qin emperor knew what Emperor Yuan Feng was thinking, he would definitely complain. How much food can I eat in a few days? You're looking down on me too much!
"Qin Emperor, did you come alone?" Emperor Yuan Feng looked at the Qin emperor in surprise.
"The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven has the Side-by-side King, so there's naturally no danger. It doesn't matter if I bring anyone along or not," the Qin emperor said.
Emperor Yuan Feng nodded. "That's true. With my son-in-law around, no one will dare to behave atrociously here."
The Qin emperor rolled his eyes. I know King Zhou is your son-in-law, but he's also the Side-by-side King of Great Qin.
It's only because I don't have a daughter…
That doesn't seem right. It's just that I don't have an aunt. Otherwise, King Zhou would be my uncle…
