Castle of Black Iron

Zhang Tie moved tens of thousands of meters in one go. He arrived at the front of the other immortal general of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace soon after his voice at lightning speed.

“My respect to you, Your Majesty…”

Long Jiutian, Ying Gucheng and the other 20-odd immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace hurriedly greeted Zhang Tie with full respect. Previously, Zhang Tie had told them that he would come here to converge with them before the core area of Mountain Ruins opened. When they watched Zhang Tie, all the 20-odd immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace became greatly reassured.

“Get up, please!” Zhang Tie said as he raised his hand, lifting up the two elders and those immortal generals gently with his tender battle qi.

Watching these familiar yet strange faces in front of him, Zhang Tie had a complex feeling. In his dream, after leaving Motian Realm, he would never see these immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace any longer. Unexpectedly, heaven bestowed upon him another opportunity.

Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng exchanged a glance with each other with faint shock in their eyes. Only after a few months, they felt that Zhang Tie had been much more powerful than before. Additionally, what Zhang Tie did in Nine Heavens Big Domain over the past 10 days shocked the entire Motian Realm too. However, what Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng were confused about was that Zhang Tie didn’t have Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace take over those demons’ cities that he had swept across Nine Heavens Big Domain. As a result, those cities were anarchic at this moment. All the immortal demon general had already escaped away. The army of demons had been broken up. However, those immortal palaces and forces in Nine Heavens Big Domain dared not occupy those cities where Zhang Tie had wiped out either. If they dared pick free peaches from Dragon Emperor, they must be courting death.

The current situation facing Nine Heavens Big Domain was actually a bit chaotic; because nobody knew Zhang Tie’s plan in Nine-Heavens Big Domain.

However, as the core area of Mountain Ruins was going to open, they all focused on the core area of Mountain Ruins.

“Hahaha, long time no see, Dragon Emperor is still as brilliant as before. Congratulations! Recently, Dragon Emperor caused all the demons to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves in Nine-Heavens Big Domain. They almost retreated from Nine Heavens Big Domain completely. Your heroic deed really caused our humans’ morality to soar…” Force Emperor greeted Zhang Tie with laughter from afar.

As the actual situation had changed, Force Emperor’s greetings were also different than that in Zhang Tie’s ‘dream’.

In the “dream”, Zhang Tie didn’t make such a great meritorious deed in Nine-Heavens Big Domain. Because Zhang Tie wanted to go back to Taixia Country as fast as possible, he was not interested in the remaining demons and demon cities in Nine-Heavens Big Domain. He then left that “cake” to those immortal palaces and forces across the Motian Realm. However, this time, Zhang Tie swept across all the main demon forces in Nine-Heavens Big Domain in 10 days and aroused a sharp reversal over there. Therefore, even Force Emperor paid attention to Zhang Tie’s great deed in Nine-Heavens Big Domain and intended to sound out Zhang Tie’s purpose by doing that.

“Hahaha, Force Emperor, thanks for your appreciation!” Zhang Tie laughed. After saying something that everyone else could hear, he asked Force Emperor secretly, “Force Emperor, are you interested in those demon cities in Nine-Heavens Big Domain?”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Force Emperor’s eyes gleamed. At the same time, he asked Zhang Tie secretly, “Dragon Emperor, you mean?”

“It’s simple. I want to exchange 40 demon cities that I wiped out in Nine-Heavens Big Domain with 20 years’ cultivation access in the secret realms under the control of Your Majesty in Mountain Ruins. I know that a tower of time could be available for 20 years one year later in the secret realm under your control!”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s request, Force Emperor’s heart instantly palpitated once. If Force Emperor agreed to exchange one year’s cultivation access for two demon cities that Zhang Tie had wiped out, Force Emperor Immortal Palace must make great profits from that. However, that secret realm in the Mountain Ruins under the control of Force Emperor Immortal Palace was a top-secret in Force Emperor Immortal Palace, only Force Emperor and some elders knew about it. How did Zhang Tie know about it? How could he know clearly when a tower of time in the secret realm was available? That was too terrifying!

“Your Majesty, how do you know that I’ve got a secret realm and there’re towers of time in that secret realm?” Force Emperor asked Zhang Tie as he squinted his eyes.

The true reason was that Zhang Tie had been crystal clear about everything in the Mountain Ruins after his Castle of Black Iron engulfed the space ball of Motian Realm for 20 years when the entire Mountain Ruins had become Zhang Tie’s private belongings. This was also Zhang Tie’s great achievement in “dream”.

“There’s a rarity called Motian Mirror in Emperor NvWa’s Palace. When I paid a visit to Emperor NvWa’s Palace a few days ago, due to good luck, I learned a lot of secrets about Mountain Ruins from Motian Mirror, including that Force Emperor had a secret realm and a time tower in that secret realm is going to be available soon!” Zhang Tie fabricated with a serious look. At this moment, if he told Force Emperor that he learned about it in a dream, Force Emperor would not believe it. Therefore, he preferred to fabricate a lie that Force Emperor could believe and would never be revealed by Force Emperor for the rest of his life.

“Dragon Emperor, why do you need that tower of time so urgently?”

“Because time is very precious for me. I want to promote to an immortal emperor as soon as possible!”

Four years later, Xuanyuan Changying would be assassinated by demons. Last time, Zhang could do nothing about it in his dream. Therefore, he could only hold his wrist, sighing and making a pair of elegiac couplets for Xuanyuan Changying’s death. This time, Zhang Tie must have a try for Xuanyuan Changying, Taixia Country and himself no matter what.

If he had enough available towers of time, he could promote to an immortal emperor in 4 years and return to Taixia Country as an immortal emperor so as to prevent all these things. The difference between an immortal emperor and a sage-level knight was even greater than that between a knight and a common fighter. Zhang Tie was confident that he would not fear the projection of demon overlord in the Chaotic Space if he promoted to an immortal emperor…

Force Emperor asked Zhang Tie with a smile, “What if I don’t agree with it?”

Zhang Tie then lowered his head and remained silent for half a minute. Finally, he raised his head and watched Force Emperor, replying decisively, “Your secret realm is in an air-floating ocean over 4,000 miles away from Brokensmoke Ocean in the east. One year later, that time tower will be available again. I will enter that secret realm by then. Anyone who blocks me at that time must die!”

Force Emperor watched Zhang Tie…

Zhang Tie watched Force Emperor too…

The air within tens of thousands of meters between them appeared to be frozen. Besides Zhang Tie and Force Emperor, none of the other immortal generals there knew that the two most powerful humans in Motian Realm were on the verge of breaking out a battle…
