Chapter 1579: The Return of Zhang Tie's Power

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Under the gaze of Zhang Tie and Yun Zhongzi, the two boas constantly cast off their scales. As a result, the entire sage's realm became a huge colorful egg reflected by various colorful lights. When the two snakes completely cast off their skins, the hundreds of meters long skins burned up in the sky, turning into colorful four elements before dispersing in the sky. Such a scene was really like a doomsday.

Besides having new skins and scales, the two snakes had two evidently bulged horns on their heads. In addition, Zhang Tie noticed that the two snakes changed their way of movement. Previously, the two snakes moved forward by twisting their bodies left and right; now, they started to twist up and down.

Unless being blind, everyone knew that they were evolving.

"Aah, that's unbelievable…" Yun Zhongzi was stunned as he murmured facing the flying fiery rain of four elements and the extremely brilliant golden and silver lights.

"Didn't Great Wilderness know that the two snakes…erm, gold sage and silver sage could evolve themselves…"

"I have no idea. Gold sage and silver sage might have already lived tens of thousands of years; by contrast, Great Wilderness Sect's life is too short. Therefore, Great Wilderness Sect couldn't fully understand them. Gold sage and silver sage are the sacred items of Great Wilderness Sect. We've never imagined that gold sage and silver sage could evolve one day…" Yun Zhongzi said as he suddenly recalled something, turned around and looked straight into Zhang Tie's eyes, "It's your blood, something is wrong with your blood. There's nothing wrong with the process of the execution of your fundamental bloody seal. Many people in Great Wilderness Sect have executed the same secret method; however, none of them could cause such a great change in gold sage and silver sage. The only difference between you and the former elders of Great Wilderness Sect lies in your blood when you executed your fundamental bloody seal. Due to the specialty of your bloody, gold sage and silver sage would like to engulf your blood and, as a result, evolve themselves…"

"My blood?" Zhang Tie became slightly shocked as he asked by pointing at his own nose.

"Yes, it's your blood. Your blood must contain some vital energy for gold sage and silver sage. Only with this reason could we interpret everything in front of us…" Yun Zhongzi confirmed.

"But I didn't find anything wrong with my blood since I was born…" Zhang Tie scratched his head helplessly while the current situation puzzled him too much. He had not imagined that his blood could be a great tunic for gold sage and silver sage. 'Motherf*cking, that's too far-stretched. Why have I not discovered it over so many years?'

"That's weird. Is there any mysterious energy and gene of your ancestral bloodline in your blood…"

After hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he thought about a possibility.

'Is…is that because of King Roc Sutra …'

'Since I started cultivating King Roc Sutra, my body has become the incarnation of king roc to a certain degree and is nothing different than that of king roc. It's King Roc Sutra which grants my blood with such bizarre energy. It's said that king roc eats dragons like how chicks peak rice. What if the process becomes converse? What if fierce beasts such as dragons or snakes eat king roc or drink the blood of king roc? Would it be an amazing effect?'

As Zhang Tie thought, the fiery rain of four elements disappeared while the gold sage and silver sage who had completed their evolution flew downwards. At the same time, they instantly shrunk and became dozens of meters in length and flew towards Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's consciousness was also connected with that of the two snakes at a stroke. All the information in the Dongtian poured into Zhang Tie's mind sea at the same time.

There was too much information pouring into Zhang Tie's mind sea, which contained everything about this Dongtian, including the number of floors, the quantity of towers of time, the amount of puppets in each floor, the number of portals and how to control the hub of the entire Dongtian through consciousness so as to manipulate each portal and puppet in it for free…

What shocked Zhang Tie most was the entrance above the Dongtian which was called Mire of Thunder Fire. The entire Mire of Thunder Fire was not dead; instead, it was almost like a living being. According to Zhang Tie's demand, Mire of Thunder Fire could change the location of the entrance or completely close the tunnel leading to Dongtian…

When the two snakes approached Zhang Tie, they had been only as long as two chopsticks. Flying around Zhang Tie, they didn't forget to rub Zhang Tie every once a while as if they were spoiled. They had completely neglected Yun Zhongzi as if the latter was just an onlooker.

Yun Zhongzi watched all this with an amazed look. As a sage who had already reached a high realm of Great Wilderness Sutra, Yun Zhongzi instantly sensed the relation between gold sage and silver sage and Zhang Tie. It was definitely not the effect of the fundamental bloody seal which had actually already lost its effect in gold sage and silver sage. Additionally, from today on, nobody's fundamental bloody seal would take effect on them, because gold sage and silver sage had already identified Zhang Tie as their owner. It was a senior connection between souls like that between the parent bewitched insects and their owner. This effect was even deeper than that of the fundamental bloody seal. Gold sage and silver sage had already connected their fate with Zhang Tie. From now on, they would follow Zhang Tie's order. If Zhang Tie perished, they would perish too.

"Erm…I don't know either…" Zhang Tie looked at Yun Zhongzi who was suddenly forgotten by the two snakes as he said bashfully.

"It seems that head is destined to rule Great Wilderness Sect…" Yun Zhongzi sighed as he nodded, saying, "In the future, I believe that Great Wilderness Sect would definitely reinvigorate under your rule, head…"

"Hmm, erm, I will try my best…" Zhang Tie said as he stretched out two palms so that gold sage and silver sage could land on his palms. To be honest, Zhang Tie was not a bit afraid of the two snakes at all. Neither did he feel disgusted about them; instead, Zhang Tie felt their bodies were full of beautiful metallic texture as they felt like movable sculptures. What was more, after completing their evolution, the two snakes had already grown out two small horns on their heads while their tails became a bit flat. They looked pretty adorable.

At this moment, the two snakes appeared being a bit afraid of Zhang Tie. Watching Zhang Tie stretching out his palms, they flew around Zhang Tie for a few more circles before meticulously landing on his palms.

After that, the two snakes started to climb upwards towards Zhang Tie's shoulder along his arms. Meanwhile, their bodies gradually turned virtual like the original body of silver secret items. Actually, they turned into two illuminous objects as they further shrunk. Like two earthworms, they instantly lurked into Zhang Tie's body despite Zhang Tie's surprise.

'What does that mean?'

Zhang Tie didn't feel that they would hurt him; instead, he felt their excitement. When they lurked into Zhang Tie's body, it felt like how Zhang Tie put away two original objects of silver secret items.

'Do the two snakes plan to settle down in my body like those silver secret items being absorbed by knights? Wouldn't they become my roundworms by then?'

When Zhang Tie was thinking about it, he found that the two illuminous objects of the two snakes were swimming towards his mind sea and qi sea. The golden snake was targeting at his mind sea while the silver one was targeting at his qi sea.

'Wait, won't they be absorbed or hurt by the black hole in my mind sea and qi sea?'

Before Zhang Tie ordered them to stop, the two snakes had already reached his mind sea and qi sea. After circling around the two black holes which were constantly engulfing Zhang Tie's energy for a short while, the gold snake twisted its body around the black hole in Zhang Tie's mind sea like catching prey while the silver one twisted its body around the black hole in Zhang Tie's qi sea. Closely after that, the two snakes widely opened their mouths as they started to gnaw the two black holes bit by bit…

This scene shocked Zhang Tie so much as he watched the two snakes gnawing the two black holes in his body.

The two black holes were engulfing Zhang Tie's spiritual energy and his battle qi while the two snakes were engulfing the two black holes.

As the two black holes were gradually engulfed by the two snakes, Zhang Tie's spiritual energy and battle qi started to gurgle out of his mind sea and qi sea bit by bit like an underground fountain, lubricating the mind sea and qi sea which had been dry for so long. As a result, his mind sea and qi sea gradually became energetic.

It felt like a walker having a cold, sweet drink in the desert. It was so yummy and unforgettable…

The long-awaited power, the great battle qi of a shadow knight and the terrifying spiritual energy of a divine dominator were gradually coming back to Zhang Tie bit by bit.

Zhang Tie didn't know how long had he been immersed in such a pleasure. Not until the two snakes completely engulfed the two black holes his mind sea and qi sea and left there did Zhang Tie recover his composure.

At that time, one-third of Zhang Tie's qi sea had already been filled with battle qi. Not knowing whether it was because that his mind sea and qi sea had been thirsty for so long, at this moment, Zhang Tie felt his spiritual energy and battle qi was returning five times faster than that before. They were blowing out constantly as if he had taken some senior medicament.

After leaving Zhang Tie's qi sea and mind sea, the two snakes swam out of Zhang Tie's nostrils at the same time. After coming out, their light gradually faded away as they both turned solid. With a satisfied look, the two snakes swam towards Zhang Tie's left wrist in an adorable way. After that, the golden snake bit the silver one's tail while the latter bit the golden one's tail. Circling Zhang Tie's left wrist, they recovered the original look of the totem of Great Wilderness Sect and became still.

Raising his left hand, Zhang Tie watched the two snakes as he felt like wearing a delicate snake-shaped bracelet made of gold and silver. If not know the identities of the two snakes, everyone would treat it as a bizarre metal bracelet.

The final message that the two snakes passed to Zhang Tie was that they were very full and needed a nap…

Ignoring Yun Zhongzi's amazed look, Zhang Tie suddenly pinched his punch, causing an explosion in the air.

After that, Zhang Tie punched out, shooting out his surging battle qi like a shell, striking against a mountain wall over 10,000 m away, causing a huge hole as wide as several meters. Zhang Tie then pointed at a peak in the distance as a silver secret long sword suddenly appeared on his side. Closely after that, the long sword flashed towards the peak as fast as a lightning bolt.

With loud thunders and collapsing rocks, in a split second, the peak was removed by the long sword, turning into four elements before dispersing in the sage realm.

As the lightning bolt flashed by, the long sword reappeared on Zhang Tie's side while breaking through the void. Floating in the air quietly, it was waiting for Zhang Tie's order…

Putting his two palms in front of him, Zhang Tie couldn't stand guffawing, "I'm back; I'm back again, hahahaha…"

What an unexpected achievement! How could Zhang Tie imagine that the two snakes would restore his battle qi and spiritual energy when he was looking for the methods to recover his power everywhere!

'No, actually, the two black holes caused by the thunder of nirvana might bring me a surprise…

Chapter 1580: The Perfect Result

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Within the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, all the other knights were waiting anxiously as they were gazing at the sage realm…

The sage realm isolated all the eye light from outside. In this process, even though the onlookers couldn't see anything, they still gazed at the green light curtain as they expected to see something like how they saw the light and shadow of the two terrifying boas in the realm a few hours ago.

They just waited there with anxiety, restlessness and a bit indescribable expectation.

This was how all the onlooking knights were thinking about at this moment.

No matter what, this battle determined the fate of all the onlookers at present. It was no exaggeration to say that many knights had not experienced such a thrilling and intense scene since they were born.

In this state, those onlookers even forgot about the elapse of time.

Not knowing how long had passed, all of a sudden, the green light curtain appeared rocking while a bit of golden light in the light curtain started to grow brilliant from a sparkle. When all the onlooking knights felt spirited and widely opened their eyes again, with a loud sound "boom…" the light curtain of the sage realm broke into green light rain with an extremely strong light like that of a sun while the powerful battle qi swept over the entire Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect with a bit power and sharpness of a sage-level knight. Besides a sonic boom, all the knights within tens of thousands of meters had to close up their eyes or turn around or cover their face by arm in the split second.

When the dazzling light and the impact wave of the battle qi completely disappeared, all the knights turned around as they saw Zhang Tie holding a long sword half a mile away from the sage-level knight in the sky while the two terrifying boas were flying around the two people.

'What's the result? Is Immortal Qianji the winner or not?'

At this moment, all the onlookers' hearts were pounding heavily.

…

In the void, Zhang Tie threw a glance at Yun Zhongzi as he acclaimed inside, 'The sage realm really has a myriad of functions. It could produce some sound and light effect.

Everything here was fine; however, gold sage and silver sage who had just woken up and expanded flew around Zhang Tie with confused looks. They threw a glance at those onlookers with a strong killing intent every once a while as they thought that Zhang Tie was going to have them kill all of them.

As Zhang Tie had already recovered his battle strength, Zhang Tie felt more relaxed; therefore, he could perform better at this moment.

With a 'solemn' look, Zhang Tie issued an order to gold sage and silver sage with consciousness to calm them down; then, he opened his mouth as he cupped his hands towards Yun Zhongzi.

"Sage realm is really great. Zhang Tie won by a narrow margin. Thanks for your concession, forebear…"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, over 10,000 knights instantly burst out into hubbub; many of them started to drop tears due to extreme excitement.

"Immortal Qianji is the winner!"

"Immortal Qianji wins this bet. We could leave here alive…"

"What righteous and merciful Immortal Qianji…"

"Long live Immortal Qianji…"

All the knights exclaimed due to extreme excitement.

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi looked glassy-eyed like an iron sheet. However, the more he behaved like this, the more the onlookers felt that this sage-level knight had a sophisticated mood. Of course, Yun Zhongzi's performance at this moment had already been negotiated between Zhang Tie and him. As Zhang Tie had already awakened his disguising talent, Zhang Tie told Yun Zhongzi to maintain expressionless which would be the best performance. Yun Zhongzi just followed Zhang Tie's suggestion.

As Yun Zhongzi waved his hand, all the puppets that surrounded the onlookers had dispersed and returned to the surrounding walls before becoming solid sculptures again.

"You win…" Yun Zhongzi's mechanical sound reverberated around the entire space. The cheers of knights then submerged Yun Zhongzi's words at a stroke. "This top rarity is used to control the entire Dongtian. I've already cleaned my trace and spiritual brand from it. As long as you drop a bit blood on it, this Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect as a whole would be under your control; the two snakes would identify you as their owner too!"

As they talked, Yun Zhongzi had already taken out a bizarre copper rune instrument which was giving out faint, luxurious light, before throwing it at Zhang Tie.

Over 10,000 knights widely opened their eyes as they heavily swallowed their saliva and watched that copper rune instrument flying towards Zhang Tie.

It was the top rarity that controlled the entire Dongtian. After controlling it, Zhang Tie would own the entire Dongtian. Therefore, this item was priceless.

Of course, if those knights knew that the so-called copper rune instrument was just a useless thing that Zhang Tie casually found from a pile of disordered items in his portable teleportation equipment and was just a prop in this scene, they might spray blood at once.

A copper rune instrument was actually a tiny item that Zhang Tie collected from a clan of Three-eyed Association when he swept over Waii Subcontinent. It was useless. Besides being made of special material and giving out light and changing its light color after being injected with battle qi, it seemed just to be a bit bizarre item from far-ancient times. That also explained why a clan of the Three-eyed Association in Waii Subcontinent collected it. Finally, Zhang Tie got it and used it in this scene.

Besides Zhang Tie and Yun Zhongzi, nobody else would know that so-called top rarity controlling the entire Dongtian was just a fake item. However, in this critical moment, nobody doubted it at all.

After taking the copper rune instrument, Zhang Tie broke his finger by teeth and dropped a drop of blood onto it. Then, he stealthily injected a battle qi into it, causing it to turn its white light into brilliant red under the gaze of all the others. From then on, this copper rune instrument's identity was confirmed by the others.

In the red light given out by the copper rune instrument, Zhang Tie closed his eyes as his eyelids slightly quivered as if he was receiving a message from the copper rune instrument. After half a minute, Zhang Tie opened his eyes again as he let out a deep sigh. Meanwhile, he looked up at the entrance on the top of the Dongtian and issued an order to the two snakes to open it. As was imagined, the upside-down lotus-flower shaped entrance opened.

Under the gaze of all the other knights, Zhang Tie opened that entrance after controlling that copper rune instrument.

Watching the escaping access being opened, all the knights became thrilled again.

"Aah, it's open; it's open…"

Holding the copper rune instrument which was giving out red light, Zhang Tie looked pretty magnificent as he shouted at the two boas, "Get back, solid…" The two terrifying boas then rapidly shrunk their bodies under the gaze of all the others as they flew towards Zhang Tie. Closely after that, they twisted around Zhang Tie's wrist, head to tail, in the shape of a metal bracelet, ending up their temporary performance.

After doing all this, Zhang Tie took out a mithril necklace in front of all the others and put the copper rune instrument on the mithril necklace. After that, he put it on his neck and had the copper rune instrument close to his chest. Closely after that, he cupped his hands towards Yun Zhongzi again, saying, "This time, it's not Zhang Tie who wants to offend you. I really don't want to see a massacre here which would destroy the foundation of Taixia Country as a while. Sorry to offend you, forebear!"

"It's fine!" Yun Zhongzi let out a long sigh as he threw a glance at those knights, saying coldly, "Now that you want to save them, it seems that they're not destined to survive this catastrophe. Even though Great Wilderness Sect doesn't restore today, it would restore one day. From then on, you would be the owner of this place. If there's a chance in the future, I would like to have another cool fight with you. I'd like to see which is greater, a divine dominator's ability, or my sage realm!"

After leaving these words, Yun Zhongzi had arrived at the entrance on the dome with a flash. With another flash, he disappeared as he had left there…

"In case of trouble, we'd better leave this perilous place as soon as possible…" Zhang Tie told all the others as he flew towards the entrance on the dome.

Watching Yun Zhongzi and Zhang Tie leaving, over 10,000 knights hurriedly flew out of the entrance one after another like how they desired to enter it just now. Nobody dared stay here anymore…

Zhang Tie flew as fast as that when he triggered his Liezi bloodline.

In this case, Zhang Tie was not anxious telling all the others that he had fully recovered; perhaps, it would be better if someone chose to attack him at this moment as they didn't think that he had recovered. He should live up to the line that Celestial Swords shouted in front of so many people here when the latter was alive.

After feeling that someone was watching him from behind, Zhang Tie looked back as he found some knights of Qionglou Pavilion were stealthily observing him among those knights who were scrambling out of there.

As Celestial Reflectingmoons died earlier, many knights of Qionglong Pavilion survived in the chaos.

Those knights of Qionglou Pavilion threw a glance at that snake-shaped bracelet on Zhang Tie's wrist and that item on his chest. After noticing that Zhang Tie was looking back, they hurriedly moved their eye light away while hiding themselves in an array of knights.

Zhang Tie sneered inside…

Chapter 1581: Winning People's Hearts

"Third uncle, do you think Zhang Tie would be fine or not…"

"Zhang Tie is not rude. He would be fine. Thanks to his prudence, otherwise, Lord Guangnan's Mansion would have suffered a great loss!"

Above Centralpillar Mountain, the first batch of people including Bai Suxian and Celestial Treasureflame who had exited the Dongtian last night just waited there for Zhang Tie.

That was a short night. As for knights, one night would flash away in a split second if they entered secluded cultivation. They were waiting for Zhang Tie as they were curious about what happened inside after their departure.

Since they exited the underground space last night, nobody else had exited there. When the fiery sun showed itself above the horizon, repelling the darkness, it brought sunshine and vitality to the magnificent mountains and dense woods.

Bai Suxian gradually became restless. The others might feel that Zhang Tie could protect himself downside there; however, only Bai Suxian was clear that Zhang Tie was as weak as a whale stranded in a shoal inside and might not even deal with an ordinary earth knight. How could such a weak person face one sage-level knight and two terrifying destructive snakes?

"Zhang Tie always gets the favor of God. Don't worry. He would tide over the troubles!" Immortal Deyang stroked his beard as he comforted Bai Suxian after noticing her anxious look.

If it was told by others, Bai Suxian would at most take it as a comfort; however, it was told by Immortal Deyang, an elder of Heavens Fortune Sect, which would be highly reliable. Across the country, everyone knew that Heavens Fortunes Sect could always predict unknown things. The words of an elder of Heavens Fortunes Sect were definitely reliable.

"Hope so!" Bai Suxian threw an appreciative glance at Immortal Deyang as she recovered his composure and fixated onto the exit under Centralpillar Mountain again.

After hearing Immortal Deyang's words, Celestial Treasureflame and Celestial Woodbuilding exchanged a glance with each other as if they were thinking about something.

The greatness of Heavens Fortunes Sect could be seen from this event. Compared to the other top sects, Heavens Fortune Sect appeared to have long known the perils in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in Centralpillar Mountain; therefore, they only assigned one elder who got along well with Zhang Tie. In the entire process, Heavens Fortune Sect didn't suffer any loss. By contrast, Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou Pavilion suffered a great loss. Heavens Fortune Sect was definitely full of cunning foxes.

"I've long heard that the Heavens Fortune Rank has a myriad of marvelous functions as a top rarity in far-ancient times. It could be used to predict the unknowns in the chaos. I wonder whether has Heavens Fortune Sect predicted Zhang Tie's fortune in the future using Heavens Fortune Rank?" Celestial Treasureflame asked Immortal Deyang secretly by battle qi.

"Hahaha, Heavens Fortune Rank is indeed a top rarity in the far-ancient times. However, its functions are exaggerated. The so-called law of fortune, in the final analysis, is that the lucky dogs would always be favored by God. At the bank of Weishui River, even the thunder of nirvana could kill Zhang Tie; he also saved hundreds of millions of people alone. Kindness knows no bounds. God would always give a hand to such people; instead of having him die there…" Immortal Deyang replied by battle qi too.

Celestial Treasureflame threw a glance at Immortal Deyang as he nodded silently.

Immortal Deyang's words could cheat ordinary knights; however, as the deputy head of Demons-kill Valley, Celestial Treasureflame had seen the world. He knew that Immortal Deyang was just perfunctory.

"Someone is there…" Celestial Woodbuilding who had been fixing his eyes on the exit abruptly opened his mouth closely after Immortal Deyang's reply.

Closely after that, a shadow had flashed into the sky at a speed ten times that of sound.

Of course, it was Yun Zhongzi.

Only after throwing a silent glance at them, Yun Zhongzi had hidden his body. With a few more flashes, he disappeared in front of them.

After knowing that it was Yun Zhongzi, Bai Suxian's heart raced at once. However, at this moment, she received Zhang Tie's message by her remote-sensing communications ring. After reading Zhang Tie's message, Bai Suxian's intense expression relieved at once as she heaved a deep sigh and revealed a smile, telling the others at present, "Zhang Tie said he's coming back soon…"

…

Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had appeared at the exit downside there as he slowly ascended from there.

The scene shocked everyone at present because Zhang Tie was followed by over 10,000 dense knights. Although Zhang Tie didn't fly fast, no other knights dared surpass him. Even those shadow knights among them flew after Zhang Tie naturally too.

It was really like how a boss in a secular world led his gang to have a duel with his opponents. The formation of over 10,000 knights was relatively tidy while the qi field and sense of oppression couldn't be described easily. They had to admit that such a formation could sweep over the other six top sects.

After coming into the sky, Zhang Tie stopped, closely followed by over 10,000 knights.

In the sky, Zhang Tie cupped his hands towards those knights as he said loudly, "It was destined for us to meet each other in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect today. Let's bid farewell to each other. In the future, if you're free, you could come to Iron-Dragon Sect to have a drink with me in Youzhou Province when we could talk about what happened today!"

"To put it straightforwardly, in the future, if immortal needs my help, I Immortal Ethereal Xu Tiange would definitely give you a hand. Despite perils, if I refused, Immortal could directly behead me!" a blue-haired shadow knight flew out closely after Zhang Tie. After cupping his hands towards Zhang Tie solemnly, he flew eastward.

"The entire Qilian Sect appreciate Immortal Qianji for your mercy…" another shadow knight flew out with a few knights as he bade farewell to Zhang Tie, "In the future, if immortal needs my help, you only need to have someone come for me with this token. At the sight of the token, Qilian Sect as a whole would work for you even at the risk of being perished…"

After the shadow knight gave a token to Zhang Tie, his team bowed towards Zhang Tie again before flying away…

A great handful of knights fervently surrounded Zhang Tie at a stroke as they all extended their gratitude to him…

Bai Suxian, Bai Runshan and Celestial Treasureflame revealed confused looks at each other as they wondered what Zhang Tie had done inside the Dongtian so that all the knights from all walks of life gathered here to extend their thanks to him.

However, at this moment, Zhang Tie was appreciating Xu Tiange the Immortal Ethereal who left here closely after him. At the sight of him, Zhang Tie had known that he was a freak. However, this guy created a good beginning for him today…

Chapter 1582: Zhang Tie's Explanation

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Before leaving there, batches of knights came here to bid farewell to Zhang Tie solemnly. Many of them even left a token to him.

It took them almost half an hour to completely finish their farewell as they all returned to their own bases, leaving the space above Centralpillar Mountain calm.

"Aah, what happened just now?" Bai Suxian asked as she flew towards Zhang Tie with the others who had been waiting for Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he put away the last tokens, including a delicate, tiny golden knife, a crystal abacus, a red copper waist decoration with Eight Diagrams on it, a red tooth of an unknown beast, which were respectively left by the head of Goldenknife Sect in Yunzhou Province, an independent earth knight called Shen Suanzi, the head of Liu Clan in Anzhou Province and head of a barbarian tribe in Fierycloud Mountain, South Border.

Zhang Tie received over 200 gifts, including tokens and remote-sensing communications rings, while the earlier ones had been put into his portable space-teleportation equipment.

Compared to so many gifts, the friendship between Zhang Tie and so many knights might be his largest achievement. Of course, so many knights appreciated him because Zhang Tie indeed saved their lives this time; what was more, Zhang Tie's moral standing and various gossips won him a high reliance from these knights. All the knights knew that even though they gave their tokens to Immortal Qianji, given his moral standing, Zhang Tie would never request them to do evil things or have them die for him. Additionally, if they dealt with it well and could get acquainted with Immortal Qianji, they would gain great benefits from it as Zhang Tie could also be their assets.

The world-renowned Immortal Qianji, the powerful divine dominator, the inventor of fiery oil and all-purpose medicament, the one whom even royal prince would rope in! Who would refuse such a rare chance to get acquainted with such a person? Even the barbarian knights in South Border knew Zhang Tie's importance; not to mention Hua knights in Taixia Country.

"Moral standing is like the money that you deposit in the bank. When you don't withdraw it, your feelings would be useless no matter how much it is. People with bad moral standing couldn't be identified from those with good moral standing. Nor could they bring too much profit to you. However, when you deposit so much money in the bank that even if you didn't present your deposit book to the public, they've already known that, those strangers would change their attitude about you. After changing enough people, you would be able to do great undertakings. That's called a moral standing bonus!" Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian with a smile. When finding the others were still confused about that, Zhang Tie smiled as he held Bai Suxian's hand slightly, continuing, "I won a bet with that sage-level knight just now; now, the entire Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect belongs to me. By the way, I saved so many knights!"

"What?" Celestial Treasureflame, Bai Runshan and Celestial Woodbuilding widely opened their eyes at the same time.

"What? This Dongtian belongs to you?" Bai Runshan asked in an unbelievable look.

"Yes. It's not the proper place to talk about it. As you've already waited here for long, let's go back to the airboat first…"

After exchanging a glance with each other, Celestial Treasureflame and the others tried to calm down as they nodded, "Good!"

"Aah, what's this? You've got a nice bracelet. It's made of two snakes…" Bai Suxian instantly noticed that bizarre "decoration" on Zhang Tie's left wrist. After watching it carefully, Bai Suxian doubted, "But why do I feel it's similar to the two snakes that we saw underground? However, these two have two little horns on their heads; their tails look a bit different too…"

After hearing Bai Suxian's words, all the others fixated onto the bracelet out of curiosity…

"Let's talk about it back in the airboat…"

Zhang Tie smiled as he grasped Bai Suxian's hand and flew towards the airboat in the distance, closely followed by all the others. Bai Suxian still had not found Zhang Tie's complete recovery as she was still injecting her spiritual energy into Zhang Tie's body. However, Zhang Tie didn't stop her at this moment…

What happened in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was completely a farce for Zhang Tie. However, through this farce, Zhang Tie gained more achievements than that he could imagine. When he was flying towards the airboat, Zhang Tie finally figured it out why there were so many liars in this world. Because sometimes one performance could bring a liar too much profit, which was even more useful than killing 100 demon knights.

'Actually, it feels good acting a liar occasionally!' Zhang Tie murmured.

…

Three hours later, in a lounge of the airboat, Zhang Tie had finished his story about what happened downside there as they enjoyed the tea.

Of course, Zhang Tie didn't say that he was already the head of Great Wilderness Sect; nor did he say that this crisis was just a performance between Yun Zhongzi and him since the beginning. He told what the others knights downside there had experienced and witnessed.

Both Bai Runshan and Immortal Deyang were convinced that Zhang Tie could win this bet because of Zhang Tie's former military exploits and his ability as a divine dominator. Nobody knew how many trump cards did Zhang Tie Immortal Qianji have. Given Zhang Tie's ability, he might be able to survive the besiege of one sage-level knight and two heavenly Knight-level boas.

Over these years, the "surprises" even "shocks" that Zhang Tie had brought to them had long enabled those familiar ones to blindly rely on and trust him as if Zhang Tie was almighty.

Soon after Zhang Tie's speech, Bai Suxian had clapped her hands as she said pleasantly, "Aah, I finally understand why Yun Zhongzi looked so bad when he flew out of the exit. Only after throwing a glance at us, he had flown away. It turns out that he's lost the bet and feels embarrassed showing off…"

Chapter 1583: Class I Towers of Time

"Ahem ahem, not exactly right. No matter what, this bet between Yun Zhongzi and me is not determined by a duel; additionally, I admire him because he, as the only sage-level knight of Great Wilderness Sect, didn't go back on his words after losing the bet…" Zhang Tie answered with a serious look.

"Do the two snakes also belong to you?" Bai Suxian fixated onto Zhang Tie's wrist again out of curiosity.

"Right!"

"They look much smaller!"

"I don't know what they're either. They might be species from the far-ancient times. Their ability is out of imagination!"

"Could I touch them?"

"Wait, I'll wake them up!"

"Aah, here? Isn't it perilous?"

"It's fine. They've already identified me as their owner. It's safe!"

As Zhang Tie replied, he ran his spiritual energy to wake them up. Under the curious gaze of the others, the two snakes slowly moved as they looked up and split their tongues. After licking Zhang Tie's wrist for two times, they flew off his wrist before circling around him.

The moment the two snakes moved, all the others in the room became intense at once including Celestial Treasureflame and Celestial Woodbuilding as they all widely opened their eyes and paid heed to the two snakes and prepared to give out their protective battle qi at any time, except for Bai Suxian. As they saw the two snakes turn a heavenly knight into ashes in a split second, none of them were intense. They were more like two terrifying heavenly knight-level killers than two snakes.

"Aah, what are their names?" Bai Suxian appeared to have fully forgotten about their terrifying performance as she asked with sparkling eyes. As for Bai Suxian, as long as Zhang Tie said the two snakes were safe, Bai Suxian was deeply convinced that they were safe. Additionally, the two snakes looked pretty cute at this moment. Bai Suxian even stretched out her hand to touch them…

"Watch out…" Bai Runshan hurriedly warned Bai Suxian. In Bai Runshan's opinion, as long as the two snakes were out of control and gave a bite to Bai Suxian, Bai Suxian would lose her life in a split second. She would even have no chance to seek for help. Bai Runshan didn't want to see such an emergency.

"It's fine!" Bai Suxian said as she touched that golden snake. The golden snake didn't dodge away; instead, it flew around Bai Suxian's wrist for a circle.

Bai Runshan was so worried on one side. However, after finding that Zhang Tie was as calm as usual, Bai Runshan became a bit reassured.

"Yi, they feel as cold as real metal…" Bai Suxian exclaimed pleasantly as she touched that silver one, saying, "So does this one. Have they got their names?"

When Zhang Tie wanted to say that they were called gold sage and silver sage, he swallowed his words back as he replied, "I've not asked Yun Zhongzi about their names…"

"Let me name them!" Bai Suxian had already named them before Zhang Tie nodded, "This golden one is Wealthy; the silver one is Felicity. How about that?"

The two snakes appeared to have understood her words as they twisted in the air unpleasantly. Such secular names as same as that of pet dogs in commoners' house could never match that of gold sage and silver sage.

Finding that Bai Suxian was happy, Zhang Tie nodded, "Hmm, let's call this golden one Wealthy; and the silver one Felicity!"

"Hubby, you're so good!" Bai Suxian ogled at Zhang Tie.

Watching them sitting seriously and intensely, Zhang Tie had the two snakes returning to his wrist in terms of a bizarre bracelet.

After the two heavenly knight-level killers became still, all the others finally let out a sigh.

"Now that the Dongtian has belonged to you. What do you plan to do with it?" Immortal Deyang asked.

Zhang Tie threw a smile at them before saying, "The Dongtian has 7 floors and contains 28 towers of time. Besides the one on the first floor, all the 27 towers of time could be put into use at any time. Additionally, each tower of time could freeze 20 years…"

"20 years. It's not too long!" Immortal Deyang commented as he nodded calmly, "Given the length of the time required to restore energy, these towers of time are ordinary ones; yet useful given their quantity!"

"I've not finished my words…" Zhang Tie smiled, "Although they could only freeze 20 years, it only needs 10 years to restore their energy!"

"What? They could restore their energy only in 10 years?" Immortal Deyang asked surprisingly.

At the same time, Celestial Woodbuilding, Celestial Treasureflame and Bai Runshan were shocked as they all looked at Zhang Tie out of curiosity.

Zhang Tie nodded calmly as he replied, "Nice!"

"Class I; Class I. They are class I towers of time!" Celestial Woodbuilding sighed with feeling, adding, "The ratio between the time that they could freeze and the time that it needs to restore their energy is 2: 1. Such towers of time are rarities!"

Zhang Tie agreed with Celestial Woodbuilding pretty much. Because the first tower of time, that he entered, required 60 years to restore its energy while the ratio was 1: 4. Given the standard on qualities of towers of time, the first tower of time that he entered was just an inferior one. The ratio 1: 1 was a critical threshold, after surpassing which, towers of time would be pretty precious undoubtedly.

Like women, weapons, gemstones, drugs and various secret items, although all the towers of time were precious, they were also divided into classes.

The towers of time in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect were all Class I…

Chapter 1584: Sharing the Achievements

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The most important standard for accessing the value of a tower of time was its efficiency per unit time.

Comparing the tower of time that Zhang Tie accessed in Waii Subcontinent with the current towers of time in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, the first one could be used for 15 years per time while the second ones could be used for 20 years. Whereas, the first one needed 6 decades to recover its energy during which period the towers of time in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect could be used for 6 times, namely they could provide 120 years for cultivation, indicating that the efficiency of the latter ones was 8 times that of the first one. Of course, the latter ones were more precious.

Nevertheless, there were 28 such precious towers of time in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect.

Even Zhang Tie became speechless when he thought that such a great sect with such rich resources was finally exterminated by other forces.

Watching the others' splendid expressions, Zhang Tie continued after a short silence, "If you're interested in the towers of time, we could make a trade…"

Closely after Zhang Tie's words, Celestial Treasureflame, Celestial Woodbuilding, Bai Runshan and Immortal Deyang gazed at Zhang Tie with greedy eyes.

As for all the cultivators, despite so many kinds of cultivation resources in this world including wealth and sites, what counted most was time. Tower of time was the very thing that could provide such a kind of cultivation resource. Therefore, the value of the tower of time became self-evident. Across Taixia Country, almost no sects which had private towers of time would like to trade their towers of time with others. Of course, these guys were thrilled by Zhang Tie's plan.

"How?" Celestial Treasureflame put it straightforwardly.

"It's very simple. For rent!" Zhang Tie threw a glance at Immortal Deyang and Celestial Treasureflame with a smile as he continued, "Sects like Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley have a lot of disciples, I believe that your towers of time couldn't satisfy your needs no matter how many you have. Neither elders nor disciples could use towers of time freely…"

"Right, Demons-kill Valley has more than 30 towers of time; however, the schedule for using them is always crowded. Ordinary disciples could barely access to towers of time unless they have exceptional flair. There're also strict conditions for elders to use towers of time. Even I could not use it whenever I want!" Celestial Treasureflame admitted frankly.

"Although towers of time are very precious for you, both Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley have secret methods for cultivating knights…"

"Not exactly. In Demons-kill Valley, secret methods for cultivating knights are all imparted through "soul enlightenment"; we couldn't trade towers of time with our secret methods!"

"Haha, I'm not asking for the secret methods for cultivating knights; instead I want Demons-kill Valley to cultivate knights; precisely, I want you to help ordinary fighters to light surging points as fast as possible!" Zhang Tie smiled at Celestial Treasureflame as he continued, "I know that all the top sects in Taixia Country have their exclusive secret recipes for aiding fighters to light their surging points rapidly like Taiyi Soul-building Pills of Taiyi Fantasy Sect. When I held my rotating chakra ceremony, Taiyi Fantasy Sect gifted me 1,000 Taiyi Soul-building Pills. As for cultivators with top talent, one Taiyi Soul-building Pill could light one surging point. Those ordinary ones could light one surging point by assimilating 2 or 3 Taiyi Soul-building Pills. I believe that Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley have the same kind of pills. I'd like to exchange your pills with the right of use of towers of time. Actually, these pills are what Iron-Dragon Sect want most…"

"How do you plan to exchange?" Immortal Deyang opened his mouth seriously.

Since what Zhang Tie talked about was of great significance concerning the benefits of a sect, Immortal Deyang had to consider it carefully.

"It depends on the concrete effect of your pill!" Zhang Tie replied. After a short consideration, Zhang Tie added, "However, given the effect of Taiyi Soul-building Pills for a fighter with top talent, I would like to exchange the right of 20 years of one tower of time for 987 Taiyi Soul-building Pills.

987 Taiyi Soul-building Pills or pills of a similar effect could be exchanged for the right of use of 2 decades of one tower of time. This condition was already very bountiful for Demons-kill Valley and Heavens Fortune Sect because it was calculated in terms of lighting all the surging points of a fighter with top flair from the beginning. In fact, there were few disciples with top flair in either Iron-Dragon Sect or the top sects. As for Taiyi Fantasy Sect, over these years, a disciple would spend over 1,200 Taiyi Soul-building Pill on average in letting all of his or her surging points from the zero. Besides being members of top sects, Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley had mutual competitions and exchanges; therefore, Immortal Deyang and Celestial Treasureflame were both aware of the number of resources being consumed for lighting all the surging points of one disciple. Therefore, the two people both knew that they had made a fortune this time after hearing Zhang Tie's condition.

Even idiots would agree. Otherwise, after returning to their own sect, they would be drowned by saliva.

"In Demons-kill Valley, we use Demons-fire Pill to help disciples light their surging points. Its effect is a bit strong as it requires external fire as principal media and internal fire as a subsidiary to light surging points. Generally, fighters below LV 9 couldn't bear its power. Only disciples above LV 9 could bear it physically and mentally; therefore, only disciples above LV 9 in Demons-kill Valley could take Demons-fire Pills. When we studied and developed Demons-fire Pills, we referred to the effect of Taiyi Soul-building Pill. Therefore, its effect is almost like that of Taiyi Soul-building Pill. If you want to exchange for it. I provide 1,000 Demons-fire Pills for the right of use of tower of time for one time!" Celestial Treasureflame watched Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes as he asked, "I wonder how many towers of time do you plan to exchange with…"

"Could Demons-kill Valley afford the two towers of time on the second floor of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect?"

"Well, Demons-kill Valley will exchange for the right of use of the two towers of time with 2,000 Demons-fire Pills, one for 10 years. We could pay 6,000 Demons-fire Pills for 3 decades in advance. Later on, we will pay it every 30 years; hopefully, the price remains unchanged. How about that?"

"That's a deal!" Zhang Tie agreed at once as he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Celestial Treasureflame.

Celestial Treasureflame then burst into laughter…

Chapter 1585: A Perfect Partner

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When Zhang Tie was talking with Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang was pressing on a remote-sensing communications finger ring as if he was contacting the powers of Heavens Fortune Sect.

As the deputy head of Demons-kill Valley, Celestial Treasureflame could determine many things and use sufficient resources. However, as a common elder of Heavens Fortune Sect, Immortal Deyang had to inform the powers of Heavens Fortune Sect about such a major event.

Even so, Immortal Deyang got the reply of Heavens Fortune Sect very quickly. Soon after Zhang Tie finished his negotiation with Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang's hand had already left the remote-sensing communications finger ring as he revealed a decisive smile.

"In Heavens Fortune Sect, disciples use Seven-color Pills to light their surging points. A set of Seven-color Pills contains seven pills, respectively red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, which need to be taken for 7 times. It has no side effects. Even kids above the age of 7 could take it safely. The effect of a set of Seven-color Pills could match that of a Taiyi Soul-building Pill. Actually, it's even better than that of the latter slightly. Referring to the condition of Demons-kill Valley, Heavens Fortune Sect could also contract two towers of time. We pay you 6,000 sets of Seven-color Pills for one time; and 3 decades per time!"

"Hahaha, good, that's the deal!" Zhang Tie guffawed as he shook hand with Immortal Deyang immediately.

Celestial Woodbuilding watched Zhang Tie with a bit embarrassed look. Before uttering, he pretended to cough twice, "Erm…I wonder whether Jiang Clan could…could also make such a trade with immortal…"

"Of course!" Zhang Tie smiled at once as he said, "Celestial, you should know that I don't lack anything, but this kind of pills which could help ordinary people to promote to knights in a short period. If Jiang Clan also has such a kind of pill, I could also make a trade with Jiang Clan at the same price!"

"Although Jiang Clan doesn't have Taiyi Soul-building Pill or Demons-fire Pill, we have another thing for trade!"

"Oh, what's that?"

"It's All-spirits Liquid!"

"All-spirits Liquid?!"

"Right. It's a secret medicine which Jiang Clan extracted from thousands of precious plants. Although it couldn't directly help fighters to light their surging points like Taiyi Soul-building Pills or Demons-fire Pills do, it could gradually nourish one's spiritual energy. Immortal, you know, a fighter needs spiritual energy the most to light surging points. The more spiritual energy one has, the easier would it be to light surging points. That's the effect of Jiang Clan's All-spirits Liquid!" Celestial Woodbuilding said as he took out a tiny blue glass of medicament and passed it to Zhang Tie.

After taking it, Zhang Tie watched it for a bit before opening its lid. There was about 40 ml green liquid in the blue glass which could be drunk up in the mouth.

After putting it under his nose, Zhang Tie sniffed a pale fragrance coming out of the glass. It smelt like that of orchid flower or plum blossom. As if it was mixed with many kinds of items, the fragrance made Zhang Tie satisfied.

After throwing a glance at Celestial Woodbuilding, Zhang Tie nodded as he drank it up. Eyes closed, he started to taste it carefully.

The All-spirits Liquid tasted good as it was a bit cold and bitter; then, it tasted a bit sweet. After drinking it, Zhang Tie instantly felt the liquid spreading over his stomach like liquor. Meanwhile, trivial bizarre energy penetrated into his blood vessels across his body. With his running qi and blood, the trivial bizarre energy gradually reached Zhang Tie's head. Like how stalagmites in karst case dropped off water, the liquid gradually penetrated into Zhang Tie's mind sea and turned into his spiritual energy. At the same time, the same part of bizarre energy in his body failed to penetrate into his blood vessels; instead, it started to disperse gradually. It seems to be the natural consumption of All-spirits Liquid. Although this strand of energy penetrated into his mind sea fast, a part of it dispersed fast too.

In this case, unknowingly, Zhang Tie recalled how the two black holes devoured his spiritual energy as a whim occurred to him. He then suppressed almost all of his spiritual energy in his mind sea. After that, he used a bit of spiritual energy to visualize an abacus and started the mental calculation on the abacus. As the virtual abacus started to run rapidly, the bit of spiritual energy carried by All-spirits Liquid in his blood vessels which was penetrating into his mind sea was instantly caught by the sliding beads and completely assimilated. As a result, Zhang Tie immediately accelerated his calculation, causing the beads to move much more smoothly.

Metaphorically, this process was like how engine oil started to lubricate the frictional parts of the engine when the engine of a bus started.

Not only that, as that abacus was running in his mind sea, the bit of energy of All-spirits Liquid which didn't enter his blood vessels or mind sea and was going to disperse instantly stopped dispersing as it was immediately absorbed by that golden abacus like how sponge absorbed water before being integrated into Zhang Tie's mind sea.

When Zhang Tie finished this temporary visualization, he got a bit more spiritual energy in his mind sea.

Although such a strand of spiritual energy was as trivial as a drop of water in the ocean for Zhang Tie, it was almost two more times than the total of spiritual energy increased when Zhang Tie practiced mental calculation by abacus and drank All-spirits Liquid independently.

Zhang Tie immediately understood that it was a perfect match between All-spirits Liquid and mental calculation by abacus. The effect of All-spirits Liquid could enable mental calculation by abacus more smoothly while mental calculation by abacus could improve the absorption of All-spirits Liquid and the conversion efficiency of spiritual energy. The combination of the two was greater than that of each of them independently.

Although All-spirits Liquid could not match a fruit of brilliance, if an ordinary fighter could have enough All-spirits Liquid and master mental calculation by abacus, his or her spiritual energy would see a terrifying growth. In this way, it would be very simple for ordinary fighters to light their surging points…

'F*ck! Unimaginably, Jiang Clan has such a great thing…'

Chapter 1586: Fair

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When Zhang Tie was feeling the effects of All-spirits Liquid with his eyes closed, Celestial Woodbuilding fixed his eyes on Zhang Tie's face with a little tension.

After a few minutes, Zhang Tie finally opened his eyes as he nodded towards Celestial Woodbuilding, saying, "The effect of All-spirits is gentle and lasting. It could gradually improve one's spiritual energy. It's not bad!"

Watching Zhang Tie's satisfactory expression, Celestial Woodbuilding finally let out a sigh as he explored Zhang Tie's intention, and he said, "Although All-spirits Liquid couldn't match the pills that the other top sects use to light one's surging points, its effects couldn't be matched by ordinary pills; additionally, All-spirits Liquid doesn't have any side effects; everyone from 3-year-old baby to heavenly knight could drink it. Immortal, do you think whether four vials of All-spirits Liquid could match a Taiyi Soul-building Pill in value?"

"Yes, I think so!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's response, Celestial Woodbuilding finally revealed a smile as he said, "Now that immortal has agreed, how about exchanging 4,000 vials of All-spirits Liquid for using one tower of time once."

"Fine, no problem. I wonder how many towers of time do you want?"

"Ahem…ahem…one, only one is enough!" Celestial Woodbuilding said bashfully, "It's not easy for Jiang Clan to make All-spirits Liquid. It requires some precious plants. Even Jiang Clan couldn't produce it on a large scale. Therefore, we don't have too many inventories. If immortal agrees, Jiang Clan could prepay 4,000 vials of All-spirits Liquid for 10 years. One decade later, we will pay 4,000 more vials…"

Jiang Clan's background could never match that of Demons-kill Valley and Heavens Fortune Sect. The latter top sects immediately contracted for two towers of time respectively and promised to pay in every 3 decades. However, being limited to its power, Jiang Clan could only pay for 10 decades per time.

"I understand the difficulty facing Jiang Clan. Let's call it 10 years per time then. No problem!" Zhang Tie put it straightforwardly, "That's a deal!"

"Great!"

Thereafter, the two people shook their hands.

"Oh, I wonder how did Jiang Clan discover the formula of All-spirits Liquid?" Zhang Tie asked Celestial Woodbuilding after making an agreement on cooperation with him.

"It's not easy for Jiang Clan to explore its formula. We don't explore it ourselves actually; instead, 200 years ago, when I traveled to Taiyi City, someone auctioned some bronze secret items that he got from far-ancient relics, among which, I found an incomplete formula, the very formula of All-spirits Liquid. After that, I have Jiang elders do experiments for dozens of years. Through constant improvement and exploration, we finally got today's All-spirits Liquid!"

"Aah, I see!" Zhang Tie replied.

"Even I don't know whether the All-spirits Liquid of Jiang Clan is the original one or not. But we could only make it. Thankfully, it is useful. After all, the current environment is far different than that in far-ancient times. Many things could only be speculated. Exotic items could be barely found!"

Zhang Tie nodded as he threw a glance at Immoral Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and Celestial Woodbuilding, saying, "I wonder when do you plan to dispatch disciples to take over towers of time?"

"What's your opinion, immortal?" Celestial Treasureflame asked Zhang Tie politely.

"I've already informed the elders of Iron-Dragon Sect in the underground space. Iron-Dragon Sect's airboat would arrive soon. I will wait here for a few days. After elders of disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect arrive here, I will reenter the Dongtian to open the towers of time. Of course, the faster the better. It would be wasteful for leaving the 27 towers of time in vacancy, even for one day!"

"In case of troubles, I agree with you!" Immortal Deyang said as he stroked his beard, "Some forces suffered a loss in the Dongtian; however, we're talking about achievements. In case of troubles aroused from imbalanced mentality, we'd better not leave time for them!"

After that, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and Celestial Woodbuilding exchanged a glance with Zhang Tie as they burst into laughter.

…

The airboats of Heavens Fortune Sect, Jiang Clan, Demons-kill Valley and Lord Guangnan's Mansion were close to each other in the air. After negotiating with Zhang Tie, Bai Runshan, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and Celestial Woodbuilding returned to their own airboats, leaving Zhang Tie's airboat empty.

…

"Tower of time is so precious that I've never heard anyone renting tower of time. These days, Jinwu Palace is looking for opportunities everywhere across Taixia; however, no sect or clan would like to exchange the tower of time for Jinwu Palace's resources. This time, why do we share towers of time with Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley?"

After all the others left, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian became relaxed as they returned to their bedroom. After taking a bath and putting on a loose informal dress, Zhang Tie leaned against the bear-hide lounge while Bai Suxian in thin silk dress, breasts half exposed, was sitting on the bedside, peeling grapes for Zhang Tie and asking him out of curiosity.

With a smile, Zhang Tie ate a grape before slowly saying, "We couldn't make plans with the others; however, we have to share profits with others. Because tower of time is too precious, after owning all the towers of time of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, I have to share them with Heavens Fortune Sect, Demons-kill Valley and Jiang Clan so as to fully control the Dongtian!"

"Aah, but why? Haven't you already got the control center of the Dongtian? You won it. Who would dare to speak ill of you?" Bai Suxian argued.

With a bit sneer, Zhang Tie said, "If problems could be solved by reasoning, how could Great Wilderness Sect be exterminated overnight? Did those evil forces spare any chance to Great Wilderness Sect? Iron-Dragon Sect is still a bit weak now. Given the power of Iron-Dragon Sect, even if I fully recovered my power, it would still be very difficult for me to own the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect alone. As Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou Pavilion lost heavenly knights here together with all the knight representatives of the earlier two. If they want to be hostile against me, this would be the best reason for them. Through cooperation with Demons-kill Valley, Heavens Fortune Sect and Jiang Clan, although I appear sharing some profits with them, actually, I don't suffer any loss at all. With such cooperation, it would be much easier for Iron-Dragon Sect to cultivate knights in the future. This is the foundation of Iron-Dragon Sect!"

"Dare they rob us?" Bai Suxian asked unbelievably.

After hearing Bai Suxian's words, Zhang Tie's eyes became profound as he replied, "Rob? It's far more than that! Someone is too audacious to be out of your imagination. In this world, they could almost do everything they want. Even though…" Zhang Tie stopped…

"Even though what?" Bai Suxian foisted another grape into Zhang Tie's mouth.

"Forgot about it. It's all damn things. Let's shift the topic!" Zhang Tie waved his hand as he continued, "You'd better make a preparation these days. A few days later, when we enter the Dongtian again, you should also enter a tower of time for cultivation. You'd better promote to an earth knight as fast as possible. Based on your current cultivation base, you should be able to promote to an earth knight in 2 decades…"

"Aah, 2 decades? You mean this slave would not be able to see you for 20 years…" Bai Suxian instantly stopped what she was doing with a bitter look.

"The current situation is growing more perilous. Even black iron knights couldn't protect themselves. If you could promote to an earth knight, I would be a bit reassured!" Zhang Tie patted Bai Suxian's shoulder as he added, "Additionally, if you concentrate on cultivation, you would not find it too difficult to pass 20 years in the tower of time. Just take it secluded cultivation…"

"Could two people enter a tower of time at the same time?"

"No!"

"Why…" Bai Suxian pushed Zhang Tie's shoulder in a spoiled way, and she said, "Why did you and Yan Feiqing enter a tower of time at the same time for 6 decades? Why did you two behave so intimately in a tower of time and I have to enter it alone. Whatever, I want to enter one together with you. If you don't enter it, I will not enter it either…"

Zhang Tie let out a sigh on purpose, "There's no such a tower of time which could allow two people inside at the same time. If you don't want to enter it, I will have Hongyi and Qing'er enter it. After 2 decades, Qing'er would be able to reach one change realm of the heavenly knight. As Hongyi has almost reached 8 change realm of the black iron knight. I'm afraid that she would be able to promote to an earth knight too in 2 decades…"

"Aah, Guo Hongyi would also enter it?" Bai Suxian became intense at once.

Zhang Tie peered at Bai Suxian before saying solemnly, "Of course, if you don't enter it this time, I will not force to do that. I will arrange for others to enter it. We should not waste a tower of time. When Hongyi promotes to an earth knight in the future, you'd better not blame me for favoring heer more than you. Don't worry. Even though Hongyi promotes to an earth knight, I would not allow her to bully you either!"

"Bully me? Dare she?" Bai Suxian's eyebrows instantly bulged. With a decisive look, she said, "No way. I will enter it!"

Zhang Tie laughed inside, 'If I could make good use of women's jealousy, I could turn it into positive energy.'

Closely after that, Bai Suxian started to undo Zhang Tie's waistband with an enchanted look.

Zhang Tie was shocked by the fast change of her look as he uttered, "Aah, what are you doing…"

"I will not see the owner for 2 decades after a few days. This slave has to stay alone for 2 decades. Owner, you know what this slave wants to do…"

Chapter 1587: The Changing Situation

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Time flew past on the airboat, at least for Zhang Tie.

Celestial Woodbuilding, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and Bai Runshan were all wise. They just cultivated in their own airboats and waited for their own elders and disciples. Even if they had something to talk with Zhang Tie, they just used remote-sensing communications finger rings to contact Zhang Tie.

During these days, what happened in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect had already spread over the country and arisen many topics, causing the turbulent overall situation facing Taixia Country more weird and unpredictable.

During these days, despite being in South Border, as long as one browsed the articles in the forum of Mountain of Brightness, he would find that the entire forum had been pretty active.

The bloody case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect became a hot topic across Taixia Country again.

Although Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion both delivered articles on Mountain of Brightness to refute a rumor, the gossips concerning that the two sects joined hands to exterminate Great Wilderness Sect still spread over the world. Even ordinary swordsmen had already known that, not to mention knights. As a result, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion which always regarded themselves as the orthodox and righteous sects of Taixia Country suffered unprecedented doubts and condemnations. The two sects were both deeply mired in the swirl.

Those who doubted and condemned Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion held the same reason——the deed that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion chose to exterminate another top sect of Taixia Country by killing so many knights had already broken the tolerance of Taixia Country as a whole.

As for those ordinary knights and clans, now that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion dared do that to Great Wilderness Sect, they were afraid that the two sects might do the same to their own sects and clans.

As for the official, namely Xuanyuan Hill, what Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion did was intolerant either. According to Taixia Laws, if knights killed people, they should accept the same punishment as commoners. Although this law was flexible to a certain degree, for instance, when knights scrambled for rarities and cultivation resources in Earth-elements Realm in terms of fight or duel, this law would not be applicable. According to an unwritten rule widely accepted by the official of Taixia Country and the circle of knights, duels between ordinary knights and top sects due to vendetta would not be resolved through official means.

就比如说这次大荒洞天之内的夺宝行动,如果有参与这次行动的骑士在这个过程之中与其他骑士发生冲突被杀,那么,太夏的官方和朝廷是不会管这种事情的,如果真有傻子骑士想去"报案",那个骑士只会受到所有人的一致的鄙夷和唾弃,他自己也难以在骑士圈子中再混下去,这样的规则就有点像民间江湖帮派或者黑社会之间的恩怨和斗争的胜败不会通过廷尉府去解决是一个道理.

Take this treasure exploration in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect as an instance, if some knights were killed by other knights due to conflicts in this process, the official and the royal court of Taixia Country would not care about it. If some idiots wanted to report the case to the official, they would get the consistent contempt; besides, they would be repelled out of the circle of knights. Such a rule was similar to that the duel between gangs due to vendetta would not be resolved by the criminal courts.

However, the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect was not caused by the vendetta between sects. Actually, Great Wilderness Sect had no vendetta with Taiyi Fantasy Sect or Heavens Holding Pavilion at all. It was a pure murder and crime. Besides the death of almost all the knights of Great Wilderness Sect, that night, tens of thousands of ordinary disciples and commoners in the sect and in a town nearby were killed. Besides barbarians from the South Border, many of the commoners were Hua civilians and individual traders from South Border.

If Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion really did that, as the ruler of Taixia Country, Xuanyuan Hill had to give an explanation for the death of those innocent victims. If Xuanyuan Hill chose to be silent in this case, its authority would be severely weakened.

Therefore, on the second day since Zhang Tie exited the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Xuanyuan Changying the honorary emperor of Xuanyuan Hill had delivered an order to thoroughly investigate the case of the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect. On the said day, the document of Xuanyuan Hill had already reached Lord Guangnan's Mansion, which was requested to coordinate with the Supreme Court of Taixia Country to investigate the case.

Of course, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion would not wait for punishment in this case; instead, the two sects immediately labeled Yun Zhongzi as demons' lackey as they commonly declared that the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was a conspiracy of demons. Yun Zhongzi just slandered and framed them. In addition, demons wanted to use the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect to destroy the internal unity of Taixia Country and waver the foundation of Taixia Country as a whole.

The two sects' declaration acquired the support of Qionglou Pavilion at once. Closely after that, the three sects sent a shiki-jitsu to Yun Zhongzi with a reward more than that for Zhao Yuan who always ranked first on the Criminals Wanted List of Supreme Court.

However, Yun Zhongzi's trace was mysterious. After leaving the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Yun Zhongzi had disappeared.

The battle in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border directly influenced the overall situation facing Taixia Country. Besides stimulating hidden turbulent forces, it also caused Imperial Alliance to confront with Xuanyuan Hill face-to-face for the first time. As a result, Zhang Tie, who as an outsider but knew everything about it, held his breath unknowingly and waited for the result patiently.

Only after staying in the airboat for two days, Zhang Tie's overall strength had already recovered to his heyday. That gentle yet powerful sun rose up from his qi sea again while the void above his mind sea was filled with bright moons and sky again. With surging spiritual energy and battle qi in each cell, Zhang Tie mastered the long-awaited power again.

Compared to the intention of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion, Zhang Tie, although being indulged in Bai Suxian's concern in the airboat, had shocked the world again together with his heroic deed "saving over 10,000 human knights at the risk of his own life. As a result, Zhang Tie became the symbol of righteousness in the mouths of all the human knights in Taixia Country. He became the number one knight in Taixia Country while his reputation reached a new high.

Lord Guangnan, Zhang Tie's father-in-law was resolute. After knowing that Zhang Tie got the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Lord Guangnan directly gifted the entire Centralpillar Mountain and the area within 6,000 miles to Zhang Tie as his bounty land for awarding that Zhang Tie saved so many human knights of Taixia Country.

Previously, the orders of Lord Guangnan's Mansion were only applicable to Bazis in South Border, which was only restricted to the regions nearby Bazi. The farther it was to Bazis, the weaker the influence of Lord Guangnan's Mansion would be. Previously, the surrounding areas of Centralpillar Mountain were the hinterland of barbarians in South Border. Although they belonged to Taixia Country nominally, they had their own way of dominance. At that time, the barbarians in numerous mountains would never admit the effect of the orders from Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Whereas, this time, when Lord Guangnan's Mansion awarded these areas as Zhang Tie's bounty land, the first ones who rooted for it were those barbarian knights…

Chapter 1588: The Completion of a New Castle

When the overall situation facing Taixia Country was complex, Zhang Tie was waiting for the arrival of the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect in his private airboat as he contacted Lord Guangnan'ss Mansion, preparing for the exploitation of this bounty land in South Border.

His bounty land awarded by Lord Guangnan's Mansion was within 600 miles centered on Centralpillar Mountain, which was widely regarded as one of the top 10 perilous lands in South Border.

Of course, the so-called ten perilous lands were former appellations. Previously, given the strong magnetic performance of Centralpillar Mountain and the dangerous fiery cave where even knights couldn't survive, this land was indeed forbidding. By contrast, now, after the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was discovered, everyone knew that the fiery entrance was leading to the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. From now on, the perilous land became a treasure land.

Almost nobody else could live in this bounty land except for knights or barbarians who always lived in surrounding mountains and woods. Therefore, the exploitation in Zhang Tie's opinion didn't refer to urban construction as it couldn't meet the conditions. In the early stage, Zhang Tie just wanted Lord Guangnan's Mansion to build a castle on the top of Centralpillar Mountain where passers-by could take a rest.

Of course, it was very difficult for others to build a castle here; however, it was a piece of cake for Lord Guangnan's Mansion.

During these days when Zhang Tie was waiting for the arrival of the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect, Lord Guangnan's Mansion had already dispatched some airboats, over 400 modified airships whose steam boilers and some metal components had been removed. In a form of formation, those airships were trailed by airboats by rope to converge with Zhang Tie's group in the air. When they entered the sphere of the magnetic influence of Centralpillar Mountain, the airboats were replaced by human knights. When they arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, all the able craftsmen got off the airships as those accompanying knights took out the well-prepared building materials from their portable space-teleportation equipment. Closely after that, they chose a source with water near the top of the mountain before starting to construct the castle.

Zhang Tie requested the castle to contain about 1,000 people. He didn't request it to have strong defensive strength; nor did he urge them to install any city-defense facilities for it. His only condition was that it should meet people's basic necessities.

Such a castle was very simple for thousands of able craftsmen dispatched by Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Only after 3 days, before the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect arrived, an exotic castle featured by South Border made of stones and woods had already erected on Centralpillar Mountain.

When it was completed, at the invitation of Zhang Tie, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and the others left their own airboats for visiting this castle. By the way, they would celebrate the completion of this castle.

It was also Zhang Tie's first time to leave his private airboat since he returned to it a few days ago. He could breathe the fresh air by the way.

…

When they arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, they all caught sight of that castle on it.

The exterior wall of the castle was mixed with two colors. Its bottom was made of taupe stones, above which were three floors made of stones and woods. Those woods looked as crimson as rust, which was very special. There were some turrets in higher places. The entire castle covered over 26,000 square meters. Right at the entrance of Centralpillar Mountain, it could enable people to look down at the entire Centralpillar and its surroundings.

When Zhang Tie and his friends arrived, thousands of craftsmen and some knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion were standing in the square of the castle and waiting for them quietly. Zhang Tie's group directly declined from the sky and landed on a high platform inside the castle. Some knights from Lord Guangnan's Mansion hurriedly came over here to greet Zhang Tie, Bai Runshan and Bai Suxian. Almost at the same time, all the craftsmen knelt down on the ground to welcome them.

Coincidentally, most of these craftsmen were white Hebrews and were always blonds. Some of them had brown or black skin. At the sight of them, Zhang Tie almost thought that he had returned to Waii Subcontinent.

"They are…" Zhang Tie became a bit stunned as he asked Bai Suxian when he saw these craftsmen welcoming them in such a great manner.

"These craftsmen are domestic servants of Lord Guangnan's Mansion; actually, their forebears had started to be loyal to Lord Guangnan's Mansion…"

"Aah, they might be Hebrews."

"Almost. These people are just the lowest-level slave craftsmen raised by Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Over the past hundreds of years, they were descendants of those foreigners who were sold to Taixia Country in the former two holy wars and were kept by Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Of course, even though there were no holy wars, those subcontinents and continents would also suffer from natural calamities and man-made misfortunes constantly; as a result, foreigners would be incessantly sold over here due to various reasons!" Bai Runshan turned around as he said casually, "If you want them, I will give them to you. After gathering tens of thousands of people, I will have them sent to Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory. Whereas, these foreigners could only do some heavy manual labor and slightly skilled works. They're too coarse to be used by you and within the Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Most of these Hebrews are fishy; their cultivation flair couldn't match that of Hua people. Although female Hebrews are a bit better than male, they're really awkward. Hopefully, you could stand them. By contrast, those slave craftsmen that Suxian gifted you last time were all selected by Lord Guangnan's Mansion, who could not be matched by these Hebrews…"

Zhang Tie had been living in Waii Subcontinent with Hebrews since he was born. Although Zhang Tie was proud of his status as Hua people, he didn't discriminate Hebrews. Actually, he had Hebrew brothers and wives. In this case, when he saw so many slave craftsmen in front of him, he became completely speechless. It was said that some racists treated Hebrews as first-class people before the Catastrophe; even some Hua people felt Hebrews were more senior than them. Unexpectedly, Hebrews were the lowest-level slave craftsmen within Lord Guangnan's Mansion in this age.

"How many Hebrews are there in Lord Guangnan's Mansion?"

"Not too many, just a bit more than 140 million!"

"Didn't they come to South Border in the identity of border residents?"

"Border residents?" Bai Runshan threw a glance at Zhang Tie before bursting into laughter, "Only Guizhou Province have some border residents. Actually, all those who could be border residents have some stockpiles. At least, they would not be starved to death in Taixia Country. As for other places, besides the official fields which would be attended to by some border residents, which top clan of Taixia Country would like to use border residents. Actually, border residents couldn't even match domestic slaves or slaves."

Chapter 1589: Granting Honor to Hebrews

"Did all of them abandon their identity of border residents voluntarily?" Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes at a stroke.

"The so-called border residents is just an appellation used by Taixia Country as the most powerful country of humans which represents our politeness to foreigners. Actually, especially in wars, these foreigners who come to Taixia Country would finally become the domestic slaves of major clans or slaves who're used to exploit the wild. Their lives are actually in the hands of others. They're far away from border residents!"

"Won't they find trouble for that?"

"What trouble? Even if all of them died or were killed, do you think someone could speak for them?"

"Nobody cares about them?"

"They couldn't even if they want!" Bai Runshan shook his head as he said, "If too many foreigners die, and the official agencies are involved in the investigation, major clans have many methods to deal with that, one of the simplest is to correct their identities. As long as they're slaves employed by major clans, their death would arouse no trouble!"

"Slaves employed?"

"No slaves are allowed to exist in Taixia Country. However, slaves exist in subcontinents and other foreign countries. Therefore, superficially, these people are border residents; nevertheless, as long as major clans find some agencies or business groups to turn these people's identities into slaves rent from foreign agencies or business groups, they would be able to shirk their responsibilities as long as they present a relevant agreement between them and foreign agencies or business groups to the criminal courts. Slaves don't have human rights; even if they have, their human rights are in the hands of those foreign agencies or business groups. The relation between Taixia Country and the other countries in subcontinents are restricted to the Human Charter of Brightness . Nationally and legally, Taixia Country has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of the other countries. As long as the victims are not Hua people, as long as the slave owner doesn't care about their death, Taixia Country won't execute the law in foreign countries. Therefore, the officials are clear about the outcome facing those foreigners in Taixia Country…" Immortal Deyang sighed as he explained.

Since Zhang Tie came to Taixia Country, he had less contact with the Hebrews at the bottom of the society of Taixia Country. Unimaginably, there was also such a dark side in human trafficking in Taixia country. The so-called border residents were just a figleaf for the slave trade.

Perhaps this problem could not be solved at all. As long as classes existed, there would be the bottom class. It was said that human society had reached an unprecedented, advanced degree before the Catastrophe. At that time, all the human countries declared that they had eliminated slaves; however, in some dark corners, there were still a large number of slaves, who became the toys of the rich.

Zhang Tie thought inside, 'Now that this class of slave exists, why not tear off the figleaf of border residents and expose it to the public? Additionally, improve laws to guarantee the basic human rights of these people, leaving no loophole to others. In addition, provide ascending tunnels for them to get rid of the identity of a slave. In this way, the foreigners would live better; at least, they would not be killed for free like now.'

"Although the domestic slaves of Lord Guangnan's Mansion are like slaves, they would not meet those damn things. As for Lord Guangnan's Mansion, it's not worthwhile for us to be blamed for being brutal and fierce!" Bai Runshan threw a glance at Zhang Tie before explaining, "Most of these people in subcontinents and other continents were living under the strict rule of lords and fake nobles. They would risk their lives every day and always become homeless. Those rulers wanted to exploit them while not guaranteeing their safety and tranquil life. As a result, they escaped to Taixia Country and came to the territory of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Many people even live better than that in subcontinents and other continents. They could also have houses, wives and children here. Additionally, Lord Guangnan is a real heir of Lord and a real human noble. They treat Lord Guangnan as their owner; they serve Lord Guangnan's Mansion and follow all the orders of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Meanwhile, Lord Guangnan's Mansion guarantees their safety in case they feel homeless. Many of them even feel happy and proud of being a domestic slave of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. You could ask them, even if you promise them freedom, who among them would like to leave South Border and live alone outside?"

Zhang Tie threw another glance at those domestic slaves as he found those people's eye light didn't contain pure fear; instead, it's full of awe while being meticulous with a bit humble hope.

Watching the slightly hopeful eyes, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside.

"I am Zhang Tie, known as Immortal Qianji, the husband of the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, the guerrilla general of Taixia Country and the founder of Iron-Dragon Sect in Youzhou Province, Taixia Country…" Zhang Tie turned around as he introduced himself to those craftsmen. Hearing Zhang Tie's introduction, the craftsmen became a bit boisterous while many people goggled at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was too famous; especially Zhang Tie's fiery oil had deepened into the lives of commoners. Therefore, many craftsmen had heard about him. "This is my castle. This castle would serve as the place for knights who feel like cultivating and resting here. After leaving here, those knights would grow stronger. In the future, many of those powerful knights would become the human vanguards against demons or safeguard more humans. They would be the most important power of humans. Therefore, to a certain degree, the castle that you've completed is as important as those battle fortresses facing demons. Even more than that! What you have done here definitely donates to humans in the holy war. Thank you!"

After finishing his words, Zhang Tie pointed at three smooth stone walls around the square as he continued, "You should leave here today. You could leave your names on the walls before you leave. Your names would accompany this castle forever. Later on, each knight who comes here would see who have participated in constructing this castle on the top of this mountain!"

Chapter 1590: Beliefs

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When those craftsmen were queuing up to leave their names on the walls of the new castle, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang, Bai Runshan and the others watched Zhang Tie curiously as Zhang Tie's respect towards these humble slaves was out of their expectation. As for these shadow knights and heavenly knights, even ordinary fighters were as trivial as ants, not to mention these foreign slaves.

"When I was young, I traveled across many continents and subcontinents. I feel that most of the foreigners treat being fond of eating and averse to work as ambiance and customs, stupidity as their culture and tradition, cruelty and rudeness as braveness and power, selfishness as intelligence and personality, lust as romance and taste. Even in major countries on the Western Continent which always called themselves civilized countries, most of them are also extremely fickle. They don't even know yin or yang, five basic elements; they are afraid of power; yet don't pay attention to good morality; they're obsessed with benefits; instead of being righteous. It's nothing different than regions of beasts. By contrast, besides being full of natural treasures and delicate items, our country is also the land of rich culture and heroes. " Celestial Treasureflame said and threw a glance at those craftsmen like watching sands, and he continued, "These foreign slaves are humble and low; they're born to serve Hua people. We only need to meet their basic necessities. Immortal, why do you care them by granting them with honor?"

Zhang Tie had not imagined that Celestial Treasureflame was a racist. However, it was not strange in Taixia Country as many people thought the same.

"What celestial describe might exist. However, as I lived and grew up in Waii Subcontinent together with these foreigners, I know them better than you. They have clans, human emotions, dignity, and dreams. When demons arrive, many male foreigners also take weapons and go to the battlefields, sparing time for women, elders and children to retreat to safe places. Many of them are dauntless fighters and heroes; some of them are wiser who could predict the future. I don't feel there's any great difference between them and us. If there is, I feel the largest difference between Hua people and them lies in that Hua people's talent in cultivation is greater than any other foreign races. Among the same population, the proportion of Hua people who could become fighters above LV 9 is many times higher than that of foreigners. This also explains why Hua people are powerful. This age also belongs to Hua people. However, they couldn't make a choice on it. It's not their fault. Basically, Hua people chose the different route of neuron evolution than foreigners when in their mothers' wombs.

"Immortal, you 're right. Hua people choose the different route of neuron evolution than foreigners when in their mothers' wombs. By contrast, foreigners couldn't make such an advanced choice in genes. Therefore, Hua people is the dominator and the selected one by the gods in this world…" Celestial Treasureflame said stubbornly and proudly as he watched Zhang Tie.

After a short silence, Zhang Tie said, "Perhaps there's no difference on the level between lives in this world. All the lives are actually equal. Even an earthworm, an insect or a fish has its special talent, meaningful life, pride and brilliance…"

"As for me, all the lives' positions in this world have been fixed since they were born. Some are born to be senior; some are born to be inferior; some are born to stand on the top of the pyramid of power while some are destined to succumb to the others!"

Finding Zhang Tie and Celestial Treasureflame arguing with each other on this topic, Bai Suxian on one side hurriedly shifted the topic as she asked Zhang Tie, "You said many knights would come in the future for rest and grow more powerful after leaving here. What do you mean by that?"

The moment Bai Suxian opened her mouth, Zhang Tie had known that she didn't want him to continue the argument with Celestial Treasureflame on this topic. Zhang Tie then made Bai Suxian reassured with a smile. As this argument came from each one's deep-rooted notion and recognition, it couldn't be changed by others only in some words. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't want to argue anymore. From another perspective, human knights like Celestial Treasureflame who had such a stubborn racism notion——Hua people are born to be paramount is also a reason for the prosperity of Taixia Country and its ruling position of humans.

Bai Suxian's question instantly aroused the others' interest as they all turned around at Zhang Tie.

"I want to open the first floor of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect to all the human knights for free!" Zhang Tie said with a smile after throwing a glance at the others.

"What?" All the others were startled by Zhang Tie's decision. The fact that Zhang Tie determined to rent towers of time to Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley had already broadened their outlook; they really had not imagined that Zhang Tie could make such a crazier decision.

"Haha, easy, listen to my explanation. As we all came from the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, you must have a deep feeling about the battle strength of those puppets in the Dongtian. Except for being unable to release their off-claw battle qi strikes, those puppets, all the puppets are as powerful as knights. Additionally, they're almost perennial in the Dongtian. These puppets are always used to safeguard this Dongtian. However, these puppets actually have a better function; namely the best knight-level training partner in this world!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, everyone was shocked inside as they fixed their eyes onto Zhang Tie; especially Celestial Treasureflame, who argued with Zhang Tie just now, looked more curious as if he had understood something, "You mean…"

"Without the control center of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, everything here would be an empty talk; however, after gaining the control center of the Dongtian, it becomes a reality…" Zhang Tie said as he patted his breast, indicating that the control center of the Dongtian was right beneath his clothes, "I could set some special regions on the first floor so that the puppets on the first floor could wander in those regions by turns to fight human knights over there. Quantity of puppets would vary in different regions, which represents the different difficulty in fight and survival. If some knights want to improve their battle skills, this place would be the most ideal one for them. Any knight from black iron knight to shadow knight could find enough and proper training partners here…"

"Aah…" Bai Suxian exclaimed at a stroke.
