Chapter 457: Legend: The Origin of Ranked Weapons (1)

In the meeting hall, Meng Bai and the others were checking the map drawn on the white cloth.

Li Chengliang, who came to the gathering, suddenly asked, “Your Highness, are you sure it’s the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?”

Because they weren’t discussing military tactics, Zhou Shu had called all the elders in the camp over.

Li Chengliang and the other Grand Craftsmen were knowledgeable. When they were young, they might have even gone around looking for forging materials. They might even be able to recognize the places on the map.

“It’s indeed the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Grand Craftsman Li, have you heard of this place?” Zhou Shu looked at Li Chengliang.

“If it really is the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, I might have heard of it,” Li Chengliang said with a serious expression. “Your Highness, have you heard of the legend of ranked weapons?”

“The legend of ranked weapons?” Zhou Shu shook his head. He didn’t have a professional forging background. Although he had already made up for his lack of forging foundation, he didn’t know much about the legends and history.

“At the beginning of ancient times, there were no weapons in this world. Or rather, there were no ranked weapons,” Li Chengliang said. “At that time, the human race was weak and far from being a match for the demons. It was not until one day that an ancient mighty figure observed the Heavenly Dao and created ranked weapons. From then on, the human race had the possibility of competing against the demons.”

Li Chengliang sighed. Although ranked weapons could make up for the innate difference between humans and demons to a certain extent, after so many years, humans were still far inferior to the Demon Realm.

“Legend has it that the first ranked weapon in the world was from the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!” Li Chengliang said in a deep voice.

This was the first time most of the people present had heard this legend, and they all looked surprised.

“So, you suspect that this Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain is actually the descendant of the mighty being who first created ranked weapons?” Meng Bai asked solemnly.

“That’s possible.” Li Chengliang nodded. “And there’s another unconfirmed rumor.

“It’s rumored that the Heavenly Mountain Villa that developed the armament manuals is also related to that mighty being.

“I suspect that this Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain is also related to the Heavenly Mountain Villa.”

Li Chengliang voiced his guess.

His guess stunned them all.

Even Zhou Shu was surprised. He had thought that he had only discovered the address of an ancient sect. If he was lucky, he might be able to discover something good.

Unexpectedly, the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was actually related to the Heavenly Mountain Villa.

Zhou Shu had heard the name Heavenly Mountain Villa for a long time. But apart from the armament manuals, he really had no substantial contact with it.

“If it’s related to the Heavenly Mountain Villa, things will be easy. Don’t we still have the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa here?” Zhou Shu said. “Someone go get Sun Gongping.”

Sun Gongping hadn’t joined their gathering.

A soldier at the door answered and left. A moment later, Sun Gongping’s voice sounded at the door. “Old Zhou, why are you looking for me? I’m still busy.”

Before Sun Gongping arrived, his voice had already arrived.

Hearing him call Zhou Shu Old Zhou—other than Meng Bai and those familiar with Sun Gongping—Bai Qiancheng, Zhang Wuyuan, and even Tang Chengshi frowned slightly.

Sun Gongping crossed the threshold. Seeing that there were so many people, he scratched his head awkwardly.

“All the generals are here.” He greeted everyone with a smile. “What can I do for you, Your Highness?”

In front of outsiders, Sun Gongping still showed Zhou Shu some respect.

“You don’t have to be so polite. Just call me Uncle,” Zhou Shu joked.

Everyone laughed, and Sun Gongping rolled his eyes.

“Okay, back to business.” Zhou Shu smiled and let Sun Gongping take a seat. “Aren’t you the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa? Look at this. Do you recognize it?”

Zhou Shu threw the reconstituted square bronze plate to Sun Gongping.

Sun Gongping caught the square bronze plate with both hands and asked curiously, “What is this?”

He raised the square bronze plate high and examined it against the light shining from above.

Seeing his reaction, everyone knew that they had wasted their time.

No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t seem to recognize the bronze plate.

“Your Highness, we’ve studied this map.” Meng Bai and the others simply ignored Sun Gongping and turned to Zhou Shu. “The place recorded on the map is not in any nation on the Ten Nations Continent.”

“Are you sure, Great General?” Although Zhou Shu had expected this, he still frowned.

“Yes.” Meng Bai nodded solemnly. “According to the scale of this map, the place recorded here is thousands of square kilometers. It’s impossible for us not to recognize such a large place on the Ten Nations Continent.”

Meng Bai was not arrogant. Apart from the generals of the various nations, the others were all Grand Craftsmen.

They had either led armies to war or traveled the world to search for ores.

If it was a small area, it might have been possible that they had never been there. But a place that was thousands of square kilometers was impossible for so many of them not to have seen before.

“If this place is not on the Ten Nations Continent, it could be the Demon Realm.”

Zhou Shu pondered. He thought of someone.

Yin Yuzhu!

Yin Yuzhu had lived in the Demon Realm for hundreds or thousands of years, and she seemed to know the nearby terrain very well.
