Chapter 3835 Cowards

A few hours passed quickly.

As the calamity gradually faded, the void became quieter.

At this time, the light and shadow emitted by the demon refining pot appeared very solid. The demon refining world inside was almost indistinguishable from the real world. There were no more tangled clouds visible in the world. They were all intact creatures. Breaking free from the shackles of the rules, they also broke through the boundary between illusion and reality, entering the real void with the demon refining world, and were completely accepted by the heavens.

Zhou Shu sat upright, looking at the demon refining world below, his face was calm, and his heart was the same.

The success was just as he expected, and there was nothing to be excited about.

For him, the breakthrough of the avenue was not the first time. Even if this time was particularly special, it would not be overwhelming.

What he thinks more about is the future development of Shu Zhidao. With the breakthrough of the Dao, the tasks he shoulders have become much more arduous. The next step is to focus on how to promote Shu Zhidao to the entire outside world and the fairy world.

The opportunity will come soon, and I hope Anding City will allow him to fulfill his wish.

The thunder and calamity wind is getting smaller and smaller, almost stopping, and the light of the demon refining pot is also slowly disappearing. It is actually a protective layer. When the light disappears completely, it means that the demon refining world is no longer rejected by the heavens. It no longer needs to be protected, it will become real.

Just wait for this moment.

Except for Zhou Shu and the Demon Refining Pot in the center, there are still some people watching around, including many quasi-sages.

The transformation of the virtual world into the real world is only worse than the most powerful catastrophe in the world. Even a few glances at such a major event are beneficial. Being able to fully see the entire process or even perceive it at close range is a huge opportunity. Yes, maybe it will help with sanctification.

This was all with Zhou Shu's permission.

The one who saw the most was Jianmu. Every world was his eyes. He woke up from the moment the catastrophe started.

Of course, he not only watched, but also personally participated in the whole process. Perhaps, he could regain some lost things.

After a while, the light was close to nothing, and the new world was like a baby bird that had just broken out of its shell. It poked its head out and curiously looked at the surrounding void. It was ready to break free at any time and show its power to the heavens for the first time. .

The people around him held their breath, looking forward to the last moment, and thought about how to congratulate Zhou Shu.

Snapped.

There was an almost inaudible sound and the glow completely disappeared.

But what disappeared at the same time was the demon refining world that had expanded for hundreds of thousands of miles, like a baby bird that had shrunk back before it was fully born.

There was only a small demon refining pot floating in the empty void.

"Did it fail?"

"It's impossible. We've gone through the catastrophe just now, but in the end there's no catastrophe at all. Will we still fail?"

"But the fact is that there is no more, otherwise there would be a New Territory here."

"Oh... let's not talk anymore. I think we have to leave early, otherwise the city lord's face will not look good in a while."

Realizing something, the crowd around them quickly dispersed.

Zhou Shu stared at the Demon Refining Pot, still very calm, but there was also anger in his heart. He could see clearly that it was not that he failed to transcend the tribulation, nor that the virtual world failed to transform into the real world, but at the last moment of success, The Demon Refining Pot gave up on its own.

In fact, he had a little hunch.

Something was wrong with Mr. Hu before, but he still didn't expect that this would actually happen.

This guy won't feel comfortable unless something happens.

After about a hundred breaths, the demon refining pot stopped shaking, and the figure of the old pot appeared. His face was full of guilt, but there was a lot of determination in his eyes. He strode towards Zhou Shu, then knelt down and said in a deep voice. Said, "Master."

Zhou Shu looked at him, "What's your reason?"

"Just for these two words, Master."

Hu Lao raised his head and said firmly, "I want to follow you forever and exist as a magic weapon, Master."

Zhou Shu said slowly, "Would you rather not have your own world or lose the chance to become a holy treasure?"

"It's not about giving up the opportunity," Mr. Pot shook his head seriously, "Master, I have thought clearly. If my Demon Refining Pot can become a holy treasure one day, the only chance is to follow you, Master, instead of creating a world by myself. , develop on your own, otherwise you really have no chance.”

Zhou Shu said calmly, "You should understand that you have your own realm, and I will still help you."

"It's different. I don't believe that I can be called a holy treasure by myself. I think that only by following the master can I get the most opportunities and become a holy treasure." Mr. Hu looked at Zhou Shu with eyes full of Begging, even crying, "Master, please promise me to continue to follow you. I really don't want to lose the protection of the master. In Xianshu City, although there are endless resources and sufficient time to practice, In terms of Taoism and my own improvement, it is not as good as the time I experienced with the master in the past. At that time, no matter what the opportunity was, I had the opportunity to share it with the master. Even if the master left me only a little, I was still very satisfied. .”

Unknowingly, it had been thousands of years since he stopped following Zhou Shu to practice magic, but his sense of satisfaction was far less than before. He clearly felt that without Zhou Shu by his side, he had lost many opportunities and could no longer delayed.

If this time becomes reality, there may never be another chance to go out with Zhou Shu.

That's why he took the risk and gave up at the last moment of success, choosing not to create a new world, but to continue to exist as a magic weapon and stay by Zhou Shu's side as much as possible.

"You are very candid."

Zhou Shu smiled, a superficial smile but not a real smile, a bit cold.

He actually understood what Mr. Hu was thinking. Who wouldn't think so? Being with Zhou Shu, the founder who is destined to become a saint, day and night, the benefits you can get are definitely more than creating a world and managing a world.

It’s not surprising to think so, but putting it into action is another matter.

Hu Lao noticed the coldness and hurriedly lowered his head, "Master, it's my fault that I did this without permission. I promise to atone for my sins. As long as I can stay with the master, I can do anything you want. I've just been through it." Tribulation, from now on the demon refining world can freely switch between reality and reality, no longer restricted by itself and rules, and it will definitely help the master."

Zhou Shu sneered and said, "What do you mean by this is that I can take everyone with me?"

"Yes."

Hu Lao raised his head and said hesitantly, "Even if you are a quasi-sage, you can live in the demon refining world and hide in the master. The master must also want to do this, right?"

"You think you're good at figuring out my thoughts? But I don't want to, and neither do they."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said indifferently, "This is just your wishful thinking. No one will do this except you. As a practitioner, you stick to your own heart and follow your own path. Is there anyone else? It will not change at all. Placing the hope of becoming a saint and becoming a holy treasure on one person is a choice only for cowards, and they are not worthy of being a practitioner at all."
