Chapter 1526: Dongtian
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Centralpolar Mountain is 600 miles ahead…" Bai Suxian said as she and Zhang Tie were watching the lush and lofty mountains below from the command module of the airboat.
Although the dense, undulated ranges looked normal, they contained great dangers.
The territory 600,000 square miles away from Centralpolar Mountain was one of the top ten dangerous places in South Border.
Closely after Bai Suxian's words, the crew in the command module started to report one after another.
"Sir, the air floating dynamic system is facing a sharp decrease in its efficacy…"
"We've detected a super strong gravity from the ground, which slows down the marching speed by 10%…"
"Something is wrong with the horizontal gyro!"
"The rune navigation wheel is ineffective…"
After hearing these reports, Zhang Tie instantly made a decision, "Suspend it, move backward out of the perilous region…"
Zhang Tie could drive airship; he even guided the battle formation of airships in Selnes Theater of Operations. The operation of airboat was similar to that of the airship; therefore, Zhang Tie issued the order. After moving backward for 20 miles, the airboat recovered to normal.
Shaking his head, Zhang Tie sighed with feeling, "Centralpolar Mountain is really something!"
"Of course, it's one of the top ten perilous places in South Border. Every metal object would be affected within the territory of Centralpolar Mountain. The closer it was to the Centralpolar Mountain, the greater the influence would be. Even knights couldn't enter Centralpolar Mountain with metal objects…" Bai Suxian said with a solemn look as she watched the mountain below.
"I've not imagined that someone could discover a tower of time of the Great Wilderness Sect here." Zhang Tie said, shaking his head.
Three days ago, on the second day since Zhang Tie came to Lord Guangnan's Mansion, soon after Zhang Tie finished his breakfast and was talking with Lord Guangnan in the study of the latter, they had received an astonishing piece of news——someone had already discovered Dongtian and a tower of time of Great Wilderness Sect in Centralpolar Mountain of South Border. A knight had already accessed to the tower of time.
Zhang Tie could still remember the facial expression of Lord Guangnan when he heard this news; it was simply like stepping onto sh*t in a pair of new, dear shoes.
Lord Guangnan's Mansion had been tortured over 10 years by the news concerning treasures and Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect at a great cost of manpower, wealth and rations in vain, with the result that Lord Guangnan's Mansion was already numb about that. In the following decades, although news about treasures and Dongtian arose every year, Lord Guangnan's Mansion didn't dispatch any knight to join similar actions anymore.
The news concerning the discovery of trace of Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect near Centralpolar Mountain also spread over South Border a few days ago; however, Lord Guangnan's Mansion disregarded it; because Barbarians Mountain and Endlove Sea were also purported to have Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. Similar news could be heard across the South Border.
Nobody could imagine that it was real in Centralpolar Mountain.
As the top power of South Border, Lord Guangnan's Mansion must feel extremely disappointed missing such a rare opportunity.
On the day they received the news, Bai Suxian's third uncle Bai Runshan had already taken a group of knights to Centralpolar Mountain at the fastest speed. Zhang Tie didn't leave for there with Bai Suxian until two days later.
Honestly, Zhang Tie's heart also pounded when he heard that Dongtian and a tower of time were discovered in Centralpolar Mountain of South Border. As a knight and the head of a sect, Zhang Tie was also attracted by the treasures and Dongtian left by Great Wilderness Sect; especially the tower of time, which Zhang Tie felt lacking the most now. If he could have a few more towers of time available and enable his elder brother and subordinates promote to knights in a short period, it would be of unusual significance for both Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect.
If not for proposing marriage here, Zhang Tie might have left for Centralpolar Mountain on the same day when he heard the news.
However, as the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Zhang Tie couldn't drop everything else and leave for treasures which otherwise would be rude. Given Zhang Tie's social status, he could really not do it.
Even an ordinary son-in-law couldn't run away for money when he heard a nouveau riche was scattering money on the roof of a building a few blocks away from his father-in-law's house, not to mention Zhang Tie.
Therefore, after hearing the news, Zhang Tie stayed two more days in Immortalwood Plains calmly, during which period, he enjoyed the special treatment of Lord Guangnan's Mansion with Bai Suxian. After traveling around some cities in Immortalwood Plains, Zhang Tie gave some suggestions to the training of the air cavalries corps of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, and discussed the future of rune instrument artisans with his second uncle-in-law Bai Zhengxi. After fixing the marriage between him and Bai Suxian, they headed for Immortalwood Plains out of curiosity.
Thankfully, although Zhang Tie didn't go to Centralpolar Mountain these two days, he realized that he still had a chance when he heard that the tower of time was discovered in the periphery of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect while the internal region of Dongtian had not been explored yet.
The airboat suspended in the periphery of the influence of Centralpolar Mountain. After leaving some words to his crew, Zhang Tie then flew out of the airboat with Bai Suxian.
Before Bai Suxian left the airboat, she almost took off all of her metal jewelry. She only wore a hairpin made of bloodydragon wood.
Zhang Tie held Bai Suxian's hand while the latter injected a bit spiritual energy into Zhang Tie's body. Zhang Tie then manipulated the spiritual energy and flew towards Centralpolar Mountain at a speed three times greater than the speed of sound using his ability as a divine dominator.
Such a flight cost them minimal spiritual energy at such a high speed, which could be frankly accepted by Bai Suxian…
Chapter 1527: An Encounter on the Way
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After activating his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see many airboats within thousands of miles. Even within 150 miles, Zhang Tie saw three airboats suspending on the verge of the influence of Centralpolar Mountain. Apparently, these airboats came here for the discovery from far away.
In the distance, some more airboats were suspending in the sky. Even in the daytime, a multitude of meteors could still be seen as many knights were heading for Centralpolar Mountain at their full speeds, fully releasing their battle qis.
Previously, the Great Wilderness Sect was almost a qualified ruler among numerous mountains in the South Border, which possessed a great influence there; especially among barbarians where it was like an unrivaled power. Additionally, South Border was abundant in rarities and treasures. Therefore, after receiving the news, numerous people were shocked as they set for Centralpolar Mountain in groups.
The speed of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian was even far greater than that of shadow knights. On the way, Zhang Tie had also met some waves of knights heading for Centralpolar Mountain. However, all the other knights kept far away from Zhang Tie's route, showing their great reverence to him like avoiding from a huge prehistorical beast.
When a black iron knight saw Zhang Tie flying towards him, he instantly became flurried as he changed his direction and dove into the woods, destroying a row of huge trees on the ground. His embarrassed behavior made Zhang Tie speechless.
"What the hell? Am I a monster or what?" Zhang Tie sighed using the bit of remaining battle qi in his qi sea.
On this occasion, their moving speed was faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, they could only communicate by battle qi.
"How'd they know?" Bai Suxian answered with a smile, "Given our speed, they must treat us as heavenly knights. Of course, they are flurried. In peaceful times, heavenly knights would behave legally and not bully knights with lower levels; however, when it comes to treasure scramble, they would reveal their evil and ferocious temperament and easily kill any knights with lower levels because of one offensive word or behavior; especially those standalone knights with no special background. As long as they stir up high-level knights on this occasion, they might be killed and nobody would speak for them. Such events have happened more than once in Taixia Country. That one might be alone and timid. He must have been scared too much when he found himself blocking our way…"
"What are those standalone low-level knights doing here, aren't they moths flying towards fire?"
"People die in pursuit of wealth while birds die in pursuit of food. That's how humans do. Those standalone knights don't have too many cultivation resources. In such case, even though they know there're perils in front of them, they would also have a try with fluke mind. Additionally, the Dongtian and treasures of Great Wilderness Sect are too alluring. It's no strange for so many people to try their luck here. Before the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect, everyone said that Bazis and plains are ruled by Lord Guangnan's Mansion while numerous mountains were ruled by Great Wilderness Sect. Apparently, Great Wilderness Sect could be on the same footing with South Border. Even Lord Guangnan's Mansion should show its courtesy to the Great Wilderness Sect at that time…"
Bai Suxian simplified the understanding of Great Wilderness Sect to Zhang Tie in flight, "It's said that some secret skills of Great Wilderness Sutra elders and disciples of Great Wilderness Sect cultivated consumed them too much physical and spiritual energy. In order to mend up their losses, the warehouse of medicines of Great Wilderness Sect almost contained all the treasures, rarities and marvelous medicines that could be seen in South Border. In their heyday, Great Wilderness Sect even was exchanged for enormous element crystals and secret cultivation books with major sects and knights across Taixia Country using its collections. The collections in the secret warehouse of Great Wilderness Sect could even match that of major sects in Taixia Country. After the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect, even Xuanyuan Hill was jealous of their collections as they dispatched employed elders to search for the purported secret warehouse. This time, there must be many forces coming to South Border. What was more, if the Dongtian discovered in Centralpolar Mountain was real, the number of towers of time in the Dongtian must be out of imagination…"
"Aah? Why?"
"Previously, 7 people of Great Wilderness Sect promoted to knight elders within two months. Therefore, outsiders guessed that the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect at least contained 7 towers of time!"
When Zhang Tie recalled the letter left by Cloudcrane, a late disciple of Great Wilderness Sect, Zhang Tie felt sad about Great Wilderness Sect too. Who could imagine such a remarkable sect could collapse overnight.
While creating prosperity for Great Wilderness Sect, Great Wilderness Sutra also destroyed Great Wilderness Sect. In Zhang Tie's eyes, after becoming the top sect in South Border and owning a large handful of knights and elders, Great Wilderness Sect still treated its animal controlling skills as its foundations instead of stressing its cultivation in battle strength which provided a chance for Imperial Alliance to destroy it. If Great Wilderness Sect could walk on two legs instead of one and not have those knight elders obsessed with the experience of the animal control, it might not have been easy for Imperial Alliance to destroy Great Wilderness Sect.
'I gained Great Wilderness Sutra by chance in Waii Subcontinent; when I came to South Border, the Dongtian and a tower of time of Great Wilderness Sect were discovered. Is it destined for me?'
Zhang Tie had a strange feeling when he thought about the connections between him and the Great Wilderness Sect in the air.
…
"Pah..pah..pah…"
A dusty guy climbed out of the pit that he had created as he hid in the shade. After looking up at the sky out of fear, he found that "heavenly knights" who approached him at a speed three times greater than that of sound had been far away; closely after that, he jumped out of the shade, swearing towards the sky, hands on his sides, "Heavenly knights, so what? Heavenly knights could bully me? F*ck your grandma! When, I Fan Sanguang, become a sage-level knight, I will deal with you!"
After swearing for a while, he suddenly felt itchy on his neck. He touched there as he found a nail-sized, colorful spider was there and had already given him a bite silently.
"Aah…" that guy exclaimed miserably as he released his protective battle qi, shocking the spider off to the ground. Before the spider climbed away, he had raised his leg and stomped onto it. At the same time, he swore, "Shit spider, damn spider; how dare you bully me? how dare you bully me? Go to hell; go to hell…"
The spider had already turned into shit; however, he didn't stop until he created another deep pit. Gritting his teeth, he forcefully spat towards the ground, saying, "Have you seen that? That's your destiny. Son of a bitch! This father could also kill you even though I'm not a sage-level knight…"
Closely after his words, he felt his neck a bit heavy as if something was hanging over there. He touched there again as he found a steamed-bun sized bump over there where he was bitten. As a result, he appeared to have a big neck. Not only that, the swollen region was expanding; additionally, he felt dizzy…
"Aah…" This guy shrieked miserably as if being beaten by a number of tough guys. At the same time, he took out a container of medicaments as he took many vials out of it. Hands quivering, he hurriedly took pills and daubed ointment on his wound…
Over 10 minutes later, the knight whose head was as swollen as a pig-head staggered as he swore and flew off the ground towards Centralpolar Mountain…
Chapter 1528: The Perilous Land
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After leaving their airboat, it only took Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian a short while to arrive at the core region of Centralpolar Mountain.
On the way, Zhang Tie felt strange as not a single bird could be seen within 600,000 square miles. Not until they arrived at the core region of Centralpolar Mountain did he know why Centralpolar Mountain could be listed as one of top ten perilous lands in the South Border.
When they were about 150 miles away from the core region of Centralpolar Mountain, the landscape suddenly changed as the lush woods were instantly replaced by bare, pitch-dark rocks and crisscrossed gullies. Because of the unique geographic environment, Zhang Tie saw many mutated venomous living beings among those rocks and gullies.
Some airship wrecks spread over the bare surface of the land which was covered with black spots; perhaps they were eroded by something. Besides, Zhang Tie saw many beast bones.
Before they arrived here, it was sunny; however, when they came here, the weather abruptly turned weird. In the periphery of Centralpolar Mountain, some places were hot with big suns while the other places were facing the rain. As for the earlier places, they might be filled with bloody smell every once a while.
Under his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see layers of invisible energy in the space around Centralpolar Mountain, whose movements caused a sharp change in the temperature surrounding Centralpolar Mountain. As a result, the weather nearby Centralpolar Mountain turned as mobile as a kid's face.
Closing his eyes, Zhang Tie sensed that the elements in the elements realm turned berserk nearby the region of Centralpolar Mountain. Before coming here, the elements in the Elements Realm were as calm as water level; however, after coming here, four elements turned as berserk as an ocean being troubled by storms.
"It's Centralpolar Mountain ahead of us…" Bai Suxian said as she pointed at a mountain in front of her.
The entire Centralpolar Mountain was like a sharp sword pointing into the sky. As high as over 10,000 m, it was pitch dark, barren and formidable.
The number of knights increased sharply here. It appeared that knights were gathering here from all directions as they were all heading towards the peak of the Centralpolar Mountain.
After arriving at the peak, they saw a huge, pitch dark cave leading all the way to the underground like Dragon Cave in Hidden Dragon Island. All the knights were flying into the cave.
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian also flew inside at the same speed.
Like Bai Suxian had said, all the knights gave way to them out of fear of their speed. In the eyes of the others, their speed denoted that they were heavenly knights. When Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian passed by them, they were all shocked as they wondered what immortal beings were Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian.
As they were holding hands with each other, the others were not sure which one was a heavenly knight, Zhang Tie or Bai Suxian.
When they came to 20,000 m beneath the earth, the road began to be sinuous and have bypasses. Whereas, Zhang Tie was not afraid of going in the wrong way; because huge arrowheads had been painted by fluorescent powder on the walls of the bypasses. Many independent knights were wandering near those bypasses and glancing at those people behind them.
Some independent knights shouted, "Team members wanted; team members wanted. The road leading to the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect has been marked by earlier brothers. Is there anyone who would like to join me. Unity is power. We grassroots knights should unite with each other. As three of the top six major clans have already dispatched people here, including the powerhouses from Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Even an independent shadow night could barely get any benefits. If we don't team up, we might get nothing but shit there…"
"Knights from top six major sects have already claimed to clear here. Team members wanted…"
"I'm an earth knight in a three-change realm. I'm looking for earth knight partners, 8 people at best. We could form a bigger battle formation…"
Many knights were shouting under the ground there. After hearing such voices, some knights such as Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian neglected them basically as they continued to fly inside while some other knights stopped to inquire them about the details or joined teams.
In order to confront those forces from major clans, earlier independent knights chose to expose this secret to the public as soon as possible, causing the Mountain of Brilliance to be boisterous at this moment. By contrast, these independent knights hereby left marks all the way here so that other independent knights coming after them could gather up.
Zhang Tie felt speechless about such a situation. As for ordinary people, knights were powerhouses; however, those ordinary people didn't know that the ordinary knights were also relatively weaker sometimes. If not unite with each other, these ordinary earth and black iron knights were never qualified to compete with those major sects and clans.
Even though knights were striving for survival in many cases.
The patch in the mountain cave was pretty sinuous and grew increasingly narrower like a maze. As a result, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian slowed their speed.
After flying over an underground magma lake covering hundreds of square miles and tens of thousands of meters more downwards, the space in front abruptly became open as a spacious underground space appeared.
This huge underground space covered almost 600,000 square miles as it was filled with dozens of meters high black metal spines in the shape of stalactites, which came into being naturally. Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were shocked by the marvel of mother nature.
What was more surprising was that the ground of this space appeared completely to be an unimaginably huge piece of natural metal. On the ground covered with metal spines, there were 81 huge black holes, over half of which were reflected with flames as white high-temperature flames spurted out of the holes, the height of which ranged from dozens of meters to over 100 m. Given the color of the flame, it could be estimated that they would be at least 5,000 degree Celsius in temperature, which was even higher than that of underground magma. Even steel would melt at about 1,600 degree Celsius. Facing such a high temperature, shadow knights would perish; even heavenly knights couldn't stand too long…
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect could be located in such a perilous environment…
Chapter 1529: The Entry
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Right outside one of the 81 entrances of caves, Zhang Tie saw the same mark. However, this entrance was emitting a hot flame as high as dozens of meters while being surrounded by a lot of knights. They appeared to be waiting for a proper moment to enter it. The moment Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian arrived, a knight from Lord Guangnan's Mansion who had long been waiting here flew towards them.
"Princess, Guye, I, Bai Yuanan, have been waiting for you…"
As the relation between Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian had been fixed, all the myrmidons and knights in Lord Guangnan's Mansion called him Guye instead of Qianji Immortal as the former one sounded more intimate.
Zhang Tie had indeed seen this knight in the banquet two days ago. He was a myrmidon of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Bai Suxian's third uncle was in the hole. After being told that Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were coming, he especially had a knight wait here for him.
"Can we access to the underground space through that entrance?" Bai Suxian asked as she pointed at that crater.
"Yes, we can!" Bai Yuanan said as he nodded, "There're 81 craters. Previously, someone had already searched over here; however, they didn't imagine that the access to the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect is one of these craters…"
"Only one?"
"Only one. As for the other 80 craters, even if the flames stopped for the time being, people would die for sure inside; except for this one, when the flames stopped, people could rapidly rush in. After reaching greater than 20,000 m underneath the crater, people would see 9 bypasses, only one of which is safe; all the others are dead ends. As long as one goes the wrong way, one would perish when it emits flame again, even if he is a knight!"
"Aah, that sounds so precarious!" Bai Suxian took in a deep breath after hearing the knight's introduction.
"Each one hour would permit two minutes' interval, during which period people have to enter it if they want. Because it's a bit perilous here. Third lord especially had me stay here to lead you the way lest any trouble!"
Hearing Bai Yuanan's words, Zhang Tie started to observe these craters using his lotus-flower eyes.
From the ground, he saw 81 entrances; however, when his vision entered those entrances, he found almost every cave has complex and dense bypasses when it reached 10,000 m underground, which were like roots and stems of underground old trees. The deeper it was, the more complex the bypasses would be. Many bypasses were linked with each other. After a short glance, Zhang Tie had seen at least tens of thousands of bypasses within tens of thousands of meters vertically, only one of which was correct.
Therefore, it was the best way to protect the secret. If people didn't know the correct route, it was almost like seeking for death inside the entrance.
However, as Zhang Tie's vision reached further and deeper, Zhang Tie gradually had an erratic feeling——there's an integral piece of bizarre metal underground while those flaming tunnels inside this metal reminded Zhang Tie of human's lung. The tunnels emitted flames every once a while as if a huge lung was breathing.
The mother nature's marvelous craftsmanship was awesome.
"How did people discover it?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Yuanan.
"It's four sage freaks of South Border who discovered this place."
"Four sage freaks?"
"It's their nickname…" Bai Suxian answered as she added, "Four sage freaks refers to four black iron knights who gathered together because of common interest. They were one group of freaks in South Border. Although the others called them four sage freaks, they call themselves four sage intelligentlemen. They're respectively Mr. Plum, Mr. Orchid, Mr. Bamboo and Mr. Chrysanthemum…"
After Bai Suxian's explanation, Bai Yuanan added, "When the Great Wilderness Sect existed, the four people befriended an elder of Great Wilderness Sect and knew something about Great Wilderness Sect. After Great Wilderness Sect was exterminated, the four people are most interested and active in discovering the Dongtian and treasures left by Great Wilderness Sect. Over these years, although they failed to discover the Dongtian and treasures of Great Wilderness Sect, they indeed have discovered some places associating with Great Wilderness Sect such as courtyards and secret caves of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border. This time, nobody knows how the four people knew the secret access to the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. They stealthily came to Centralpolar Mountain; however, they didn't imagine that they had long been followed by their opponents. After following them in, their adversaries didn't gain any benefit; instead, they suffered a loss; therefore, after exiting the tunnel, their rivals exposed the news to the public as they obviously didn't want the four sage freaks to enjoy the benefits alone. Otherwise, nobody else could have known this secret…"
"What's the situation inside?"
"Mr. Bamboo has already entered a tower of time. The other three people are just guarding outside. These days, all the major sects and clans had already assigned people here. Therefore, it's a bit sophisticated downside there…" Bai Yuanan said. Finding the flame was gradually fading away, he added hurriedly, "The moment the flame dies out, we should enter the entrance. We only have a few minutes. If we miss it, we have to wait for another one hour…"
"Hmm, let's move closer…"
After reaching the crater, the three people only waited for less than one minute before the white flame died out. After another 10 seconds, all the knights outside the crater flew inside hurriedly.
The diameter of the crater was over 30 m. Although the flame had already died out, the temperature inside was still very high. It took Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Bai Yuanan about 2 minutes in reaching almost 20,000 m downwards when they saw 9 bypasses. Bai Yuanan then flew into one bypass, followed by Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian, the other knights. Only after all of them entered that bypass for 30 seconds, the white flame had reappeared behind them, filling all the tunnels behind them again…
If it took them half more minute to come here or they went the wrong way, they would perish at a stroke. Some knights really oozed sweet all over.
Chapter 1530: An Urgent Situation
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Ten minutes later, after flying over 60 miles deeper, Zhang Tie suddenly felt entering a deeper basement by staircase as a bizarre underground space appeared in front of him.
This underground space was much smaller than the former one; however, it still covered about 6,000 square miles. When Zhang Tie saw this underground space, he was shocked so much that he almost cried out.
The entire underground space comprised of an integral piece of metal as same as that he saw before. Actually, Zhang Tie was more stunned by the shape of this space rather than its component.
This underground space was completely in the shape of the space inside the All-spirits Tower of Great Wilderness Sutra that he cultivated.
The entire space was composed of five facades, each of which was a metal wall as high as 30,000 m. Additionally, each wall was covered with a myriad of still vivid totems and images of animals and mutated beasts like reliefs.
Right in the middle of this underground space, there was a huge metal mountain with 8 facades like a sacrificial altar. Right on the top of this metal mountain rested still a huge colorful tower of time.
This underground space was dark. However, yellow, green, blue and purple lights were flowing like water on the surface of the tower of time. The tower as a whole was like a huge eternal fluorite lamp, which tinted the entire underground space into a magical stage.
Knights' brilliant battle qis made this place more dazzling while colorful light spots were constantly flying around the tower of time. From Zhang Tie's perspective, a horde of fireflies was flying around a huge lighting device.
This place was so magnificent that Zhang Tie could barely imagine the power that created such a colossal engineering masterpiece.
The moment Zhang Tie entered this space, the All-spirits Tower in his mind sea had started to rock as if it resonated closely to this place.
Under the leadership of Bai Yuanan, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian flew towards that huge tower of time.
At this moment, all the knights had almost gathered around the octahedral altar.
The entrance of the tower of time was in an emergency as a lot of knights were circling around three blue-faced knights.
"Old freak Plum, it's said that you've gained a lot of element crystals before entering the tower of time. Why not present them to us? We're all curious about the measures that you've gained from Great Wilderness Sect…"
A slightly haunched knight with gloomy expression opened his mouth among the onlookers, which instantly received resonance from the others.
"Yea, as we're all here, we should share it; quick, take them out…"
"Your four sage freaks have already enjoyed too much. Don't be too gracious. With so many people at present, be careful of your lives…" someone said in a vile way.
Some knights booed and hooted at once while many eyes were searching over the three people incessantly.
At the same time, some knights were just watching it silently in the periphery of these people, some of which were from Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
Bai Suxian's third uncle Bai Runshan and some other knights were watching it quietly outside the crowd.
Seeing Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian descending from the sky, Bai Runshan revealed a smile at Zhang Tie as he tipped them a wink to let them watch the performance quietly.
When Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian arrived, some knights fixated onto Zhang Tie as if they were guessing Zhang Tie's identity.
Zhang Tie just watched it quietly. This scene was too familiar for Zhang Tie. Vile and greedy human natures were always exposed in front of rich profit.
"Hahahaha…" one of the three knights being surrounded in white robe and grey hair with some plum blossoms embroidered on his shoulder burst into laughter as he pointed at the faintly haunched knight by his flute and said, "Qi Tianhao, is that your real nature? You vile b*stard! I… I know you're such a merciless person, I should not have let you go in Thunder Valley one decade ago. After ten years, you became so audacious that you instigated the others to rob us. Go ahead! As long as you could kill us three, of course, you will have our belongings. Whereas, who among you would like to fight us to death? Even if we three die here, when my third younger brother comes out of the tower of time after promoting to an earth knight, he would avenge for us surely!"
After saying that, one knight in pale blue robe and whiskers and one bald knight in yellow robe exchanged a glance with each other. Closely after that, the three people stood close to each other with resolute looks as they held fast their weapons and released their protective battle qis. At the same time, they had connected their knights' consciousness. It appeared that they had already prepared for a duel in the form of an entity.
Watching the three knights' response, all the other knights who were urging them to hand in their achievements became hesitant for a second.
Of course, good items were pursued by everyone. However, given the three knights' response, if they really had a duel, more than three people among their opponents would die for sure. Four sage freaks were famous in South Border because they excelled at fighting together in a formation of two, three, or four people. When four of them fought their enemies together, they were said to set a complex formation of heavens, land, wind and thunder. Therefore, they were tricky guys in South Border.
In this case, nobody would like to die for nothing; instead, they preferred to pick up profits alive at the cost of others' lives. The death of Daoists invested the lives of a sagacious monk. That was how most of the people were thinking about at this moment.
As they were thinking about it, nobody dared approach the three people. Even though there were some earth knights among the crowd, when they thought about the other person in the tower of time who would probably have promoted to an earth knight when he exited it, they didn't feel like stirring up such life-or-death trouble…
Chapter 1531: Be Forthright
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Is that speaker Mr. Plum?" Zhang Tie whispered to Bai Suxian.
"Yes, he's the old freak plum!"
After receiving Bai Suxian's confirmation, Zhang Tie nodded inside as he started to admire four sage freaks more or less.
Besides being resolute, the old freak plum's words were most effective in destroying one's mental defense. Although the opponents were overwhelming in quantity, in fact, they just appeared so due to the temporary combination. At such a life-or-death moment, each of them would only consider themselves. In one word, they definitely lacked cohesiveness like sands. As a result, the old freak plum's words made these selfish and vile people hesitate.
What a wise man!
According to the old freak plum's words, the three people didn't scramble for entering the tower; instead, they allowed the old freak bamboo to enter it while guarding at the entrance. That exemplified the meaning of friendship.
As they had wisdom, friendship and braveness, Zhang Tie started to admire the four people at a stroke.
"Don't believe him. If we fight them together, the three of them could never defeat us. When they hand in what they've acquired here, we'll share it lest of coming here for nothing!" Qi Tianhao shouted among the crowd again.
"Yes, we outnumber them absolutely. We don't have a concern…"
"It's said that four sage freaks have discovered thousands of element crystals and some space-teleportation equipment on the sacrificial altar…"
Being instigated, some hesitant ones started wriggling again.
Right then, an earth knight in half-body outfit said in an overwhelming way, "A flock of wastes is dreaming about scrambling for the tower of time and treasure of Great Wilderness Sect? That's ridiculous. As long as you three join in Heavens Holding Pavilion now, I guarantee that nobody here dares do any harm to you…"
After he finished his words, he became silent at once. Only after a few seconds, another younger yet aggressive earth knight who was always watching him silently aside revealed derision, "You Heavens Holding Pavilion is really good at doing business. After four sage freaks join you, all their achievements would belong to you. Even the tower of time would also belong to Heavens Holding Pavilion in the future. What a scheme!"
"Who're you?" that knight from Heavens Holding Pavilion asked distantly.
"Fang Tongzhen from Demons-kill Valley!"
"You Demons-kill Valley also intends to join the competition?" the knight from Heavens Holding Pavilion said as his voice turned cold.
"Hahaha, no crap! The owner of this place was Great Wilderness Sect. After Great Wilderness Sect was exterminated, this place will belong to nobody. According to the rules among knights, anyone would get it as long as they could. Now that Heavens Holding Pavilion could come, why couldn't Demons-kill Valley? We, Demons-kill Valley, are not as hypocritical as you Heavens Holding Pavilion!" Fang Tongzhen said in an acrid tongue with a sneer. Closely after that, he told the old freak plum, "We, Demons-kill Valley, are always straightforward; we prefer to be evil than being hypocritical. We don't compel you to join in Demons-kill Valley. As long as you agree, we could make a trade. Hand those b*stards who want to kill you for your achievements. Demons-kill Valley could guarantee that nobody here dares to hurt you. As repayment, the access of this tower of time would be shared between you and Demons-kill Valley, 50/50. If you don't plan to use it, you could exchange your access of this tower of time for element crystals, secret knowledge, pills, cities and land, as much as you wish…"
The condition of Demons-kill Valley was absolutely much better than that provided by Heavens Holding Pavilion. At least four sage freaks could remain free as they still had half of the access of the tower of time.
Certainly, after hearing his suggestion, the three people of four sage freaks exchanged a glance with each other as if they had been moved by this condition. At least, they were not inimical about it.
Zhang Tie was also attracted by the argument between the representatives of Heavens Holding Pavilion and Demons-kill Valley, each of which was a member of top six sects. Therefore, Zhang Tie fixated onto Bai Runshan.
"South Border is the survival training fields of Heavens Holding Pavilion and Demons-kill Valley. Over the past hundreds of years, the two sects always had conflicts and skirmishes in scrambling for training resources or rarities. It's said that the disciples of the two sects almost fought to death for a 1,000-year-old 9-leaf glossy Ganoderma in South Border. After those disciples who participated in survival training here became the pillars of their own sects, the two sects' relationship would not be good for sure. As long as it's not a duel, the two sects would always pretend to be blind about it. Even the other four of the top six sects had mutual contradictions instead of being kind to each other!" Bai Runshan told Zhang Tie secretly using battle qi as he noticed Zhang Tie's doubt.
'Really?' Zhang Tie nodded inside. At the same time, Zhang Tie's heart raced——given the poor relationship between Demons-kill Valley and Heavens Holding Pavilion, if one of them joined Imperial Alliance, the other one would probably not join it or neither of them would join it.
By contrast, even though Pandora was excluded, Demons-kill Valley's manner won Zhang Tie's admiration.
However, when he saw the expression of the three of the four sage freaks again, he heaved a sigh inside, 'In this world, when small figures' treasures are discovered by big powers, they might suffer from similar results, be plundered or shared with a price. That's small figures' sadness. Even knights couldn't avoid facing such a fate. Even I was screwed because of Castle of Black Iron.'
When Zhang Tie recalled his own experience, he understood the feelings of four sage freaks as he opened his mouth forthrightly, "Brother Fang, albeit being outright, no need to be that mean. Now that we're in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, there must be more than one tower of time. We should be only in the vicinity of the Dongtian. There should be some more inside. We could look for it with our own ability. As it's the four sage freaks who discovered this place first, they deserve to have it. Without their help, we couldn't even have a chance to find this place. It's advisable that we don't make them too embarrassed. Why not be a bit more generous?"
Zhang Tie's words aroused the others' attention at once as the others wondered who dared be the mediator for the top six sects…
Chapter 1532: The Power of Reputation
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Who're you?" the knight of Demons-kill Valley Fang Tongzhen instantly fixated onto Zhang Tie with shrewd eye light like a gamecock.
Zhang Tie's tone was polite; however, his overtone was that he disagreed with the Demons-kill Valley. Therefore, some knights from Demons-kill Valley fixated onto Zhang Tie at a stroke.
Even the four sage freaks moved their eyes onto Zhang Tie. As they knew Bai Runshan, they only treated Zhang Tie as a knight of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Therefore, they wondered why Lord Guangnan's Mansion treated them so well.
Not until Zhang Tie explained did they know Zhang Tie's real identity.
"Brother Fang, although we've not met each other before, in my rotating chakra ceremony in Youzhou Province a few years ago, I met the Elder Long of your sect who even gifted me 1,000 sets of rune war outfits…" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Fang Tongzhen slightly frowned. Closely after that, he changed his face as he finally knew who was this young man. In fact, Demons-kill Valley felt disdainful to attend the rotating chakra ceremonies of ordinary knights. If their elder attended his rotating chakra ceremony in Youzhou Province with 1,000 sets of war outfits, only one person suited this condition.
After Zhang Tie's young look aligned with the image in his mind, Fang Tongzhen immediately changed his attitude as he hid his unruly look at once and said something to the other knights of Demons-kill Valley on his side secretly using battle qi. Closely after hearing his words, the other knights of Demons-kill Valley changed their face too as they showed their awe to Zhang Tie in unison, "It's our great honor to meet Qianji Immortal!"
The entire Demons-kill Valley knew the good relationship between Zhang Tie and their young princess Pandora, which explained why Demons-kill Valley had people attend Zhang Tie's rotating chakra ceremony. Whereas, what won Demons-kill Valley's respect most was Zhang Tie's performance at the battle near Weishui River. In that battle, Zhang Tie killed almost half a dozen of shadow demon knights and killed the demon prince heavenly knight by striking it with a rod for 9 times. The number of earth and black iron demon knights being killed by him couldn't even be calculated. It was said that Zhang Tie could kill earth and black iron knights as easily as killing dogs with only his unrivaled swordsmanship instead of using his capability as a divine dominator.
After that battle, Zhang Tie's position in the heart of knights in Taixia Country could almost match that of sage-level knights.
No sooner did they hear the words of Fang Tongzhen and the other disciples of Demons-kill Valley than everyone changed their face.
As Zhang Tie came here as fast as ordinary knights, although the others had noticed them, they were just curious about Zhang Tie's young look and thought that he was an unknown young knight of Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Not until then did they realize that the world-renowned Qianji Immortal had already arrived here quietly.
This event implied the power of one's good reputation. The moment Zhang Tie displayed his real identity, it became quiet around the tower of time at once. All the independent yet temporarily organized, valiant knights had lowered their heads silently as everybody understood that the total of them might not defeat Qianji Immortal given the latter's performance at the battlefield near Weishui River. At that time, Qianji Immortal alone could penetrate through the entire formation of tens of thousands of demons without using his capability as a divine dominator, one slash for one demon life, causing demons to stay far away from him out of fear. Even earth knights were nothing but shit in front of Qianji Immortal's sword. Although they outnumbered Qianji Immortal today, they could match the demon knights' formation in quantity. Besides, they were not cohesive; neither could they match demon knights in battle strength. In such a case, Qianji Immortal alone could dominate everything.
'What the f*ck! Only after the news was released to the public for a few days had this deity been attracted here. Qianji Immortal is nothing different than a sage-level knight. Now that a sage-level knight is here, what others are waiting here for?'
Some knights swore inside; however, none of them dared show their complaints. Many of those independent knights who teamed up immediately considered to leave here the moment they saw Zhang Tie. However, they felt unwilling to leave such a top rarity in front of them.
Watching all the others turning quiet, Bai Suxian held tight Zhang Tie's hand like a spoiled woman. At the same time, all the other knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion became spirited. The other lord mansions' son-in-laws shared the lord's mansion's glory; however, Lord Guangnan's Mansion shared their son-in-law's glory. The princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion was really farsighted.
"Qianji Immortal, do you want to occupy all the treasures here?" the knight of Heavens Holding Pavilion who talked with Fang Tongzhen just now pretended to speak calmly after being silent for a while the other aggressive knights of Heavens Holding Pavilion instantly lost their morale after knowing Zhang Tie's identity. "The powerhouses of our sect are all the way to South Border after receiving the news. They will arrive here tomorrow. It's not easy for immortal to engulf it alone…"
After hearing his retort, Zhang Tie burst into laughter, "The things in the world would be occupied by people due to karma. If I want to occupy it, I've long driven all of you out of here. I just wonder about the game rule that you follow when I saw someone bullying the weak. The rarity of Great Wilderness Sect is right in front of you, I wonder what rules are you going to follow here or you prepare to scramble for it by force, even though naming it a robbery?"
"As one of the top six sects of Taixia Country, of course, Heavens Holding Pavilion is about to follow rules…" the same knight of Heavens Holding Pavilion instantly opened his mouth as if he was afraid that Zhang Tie would regret about his words and beat him.
All the other independent knights who surrounded four sage freaks shouted one after another too.
"Of course, we will follow rules; follow rules…"
"We should follow rules and cannot bully others by force…"
"Yea, yea, yea, Qianji Immortal is right. No matter how many people we got, we should follow rules. We're all civilized men…"
Chapter 1533: Setting a Rule
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Even idiots would not fight Zhang Tie who could kill a heavenly demon knight through striking it using a rod for 9 times——think about fighting a man who could even survive the attack of the thunder of nirvana.
Although Zhang Tie couldn't run his spiritual energy and battle qi, it was unknown to the public. Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Zhang Tie's reputation was real as his performance near Wishui River almost conquered everyone at present.
"That's great. Now that we all want to follow the rule, who do you think is most qualified to own the treasure and this tower of time?" Zhang Tie nodded and asked the others as he looked around.
"It's four sage freaks who discovered the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect first. According to the rule, unidentified objects should belong to the one who discovered them first. Therefore, all that they've achieved including this tower of time should belong to them as their private belongings. We should follow the same rule in the next!" the knight of Heavens Holding Pavilion opened his mouth only after being silent for a second.
"Yes, yes, yes, this tower of time should belong to the very one who entered it first. That's the rule…"
"We shouldn't rob by force…"
All the independent knights expressed their attitude.
Knights of Heavens Holding Pavilion knew that the group of knights that Heavens Holding Pavilion had dispatched on the way were never qualified to fight Qianji Immortal——one deputy head, some elders and ordinary knights. The sage-level knights of Heavens Holding Pavilion were in secluded cultivation or staying in some secret places. Even the deputy head of Heavens Holding Pavilion couldn't win a vantage point in front of Qianji Immortal.
If they followed the rule of force, not only this tower of time, even the latter rarities that Heavens Holding Pavilion discovered might be taken away by Qianji Immortal.
Not only Heavens Holding Pavilion, but the other sects of Taixia Country could also at most dispatch heavenly knights here, who were enough to deal with such events. However, who could imagine that Qianji Immortal the great was here? Nor would sects dispatch sage-level knights here for fighting Qianji Immortal.
"If so, let's not stay here anymore. You make it like a robbery! Come, leave!" Zhang Tie said as he waved his hand.
All the other independent knights exchanged a glance with each other before leaving for their own footholds with a hubbub.
The knights of Heavens Holding Pavilion at present also felt embarrassed as they left there.
As for knights of Demons-kill Valley, as long as Heavens Holding Pavilion couldn't get any benefit, they would be satisfied. Additionally, Zhang Tie's judgment was just and polite, which didn't arise their discontentment at all; instead, they admired Zhang Tie. After cupping their hands towards Zhang Tie, they flew away.
The three of the four sage freaks exchanged a glance with each other as they looked a bit thrilled. They had not imagined that Zhang Tie could resolve the trouble for them.
"Qianji Immortal, thanks for you righteous deed…" the old freak plum said solemnly as he cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie.
"Ha, pleasure…" Zhang Tie kneaded his face as he told four sage freaks in a helpless manner, "I planned to talk about the rule by force with them. In that way, I would be able to rob them. Unexpectedly, we're all civilized persons. You didn't even spare a chance to me…"
Zhang Tie waved his hands before leaving here with Bai Runshan and the other knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
Watching Zhang Tie leaving away, the three people looked complex…
…
Although they were leaving, they were actually not far away; because people chose their footholds nearby the tower of time for the time being.
The knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion chose to set up their tents less than 3 miles away from the tower of time. Both Demons-kill Valley's and Heavens Holding Pavilion's tents were not far from the tower of time with some sparse tents in the nearby.
As for knights, a tent was very cheap; however, the existence of tents implied an utterly different identity and social status here.
Because all those with tents were not alone, which, additionally, meant that they carried space-teleportation equipment. Only major sects and clans could afford it.
Just now, those silent ones also contained representatives from major sects and clans. Take the other two major sects in South Border besides Lord Guangnan's Mansion as an instance, Lin Clan of Qianshan Palace and Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace also dispatched knights here. Zhang Tie was familiar with the second one as the seeds in Castle of Black Iron were purchased from Jiang Clan.
Lin Clan of Qianshan Palace dispatched one shadow knight, two earth knights and two black iron knights while Herbal Palace dispatched one earth knight and two black iron knights.
…
"I wonder who led you here…" Zhang Tie had paid a visit to Demons-kill Valley's camp the moment the knights of Demons-kill Valley returned.
Zhang Tie's active visit showed his reverence to Demons-kill Valley which made Fang Zhentong and the other knights of Demons-kill Valley glorious. Besides the relationship between Zhang Tie and Pandora, the sincere cooperation between Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory and Demons-kill Valley's subordinate clans on fiery oil also laid a solid foundation for the development of the relationship between two parties. Among the top sects of Taixia Country, although Demons-kill Valley joined the industry of fiery oil a bit later than Heavens Fortune Sect, they could definitely match the latter in scale.
Because of the above reasons, the knights of Demons-kill Valley answered Zhang Tie sincerely, "It's our deputy head Treasurefame Immortal…"
"Will Pandora come here?"
"Young princess is still in secluded cultivation. She should not be here…"
After hearing Fang Tongzhen's words, Zhang Tie became shortly silent and said, "Before the arrival of Treasureflame Immortal, if you have any need or trouble, come for me!"
"Thank you so much for your kindness, immortal!" all the knights of Demons-kill Valley extended their thanks hurriedly.
Chapter 1534: The Huge Full-Moons Gate
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Since he walked out of the camp of the knights of Demons-kill Valley, Zhang Tie had been recalling the beautiful face of Pandora when he saw her last time.
Many things��� value was disregarded until you lost it.
Zhang Tie recalled as he found that the life philosophy of lying on a pile of gold coins with some beauties in arms was like black humor or a joke for him now. Starting from that weak young man in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie had been increasingly stronger and richer and more and more famous. At the same time, he lost more and more things.
He lost Alice at first, who left him because she didn't want to share him with other women. Zhang Tie respected her.
Then, the girls of Rose Association who had died or chosen to leave him positively or negatively.
After that, he lost contact with Miss Diana.
Finally, he lost Lan Yunxi two months ago.
Zhang Tie didn't know whether it was the price for growing mature; some of which became the best wishes in his life while the others became the greatest regret in his life which could never be mended for the rest of his life.
This world was so motherf*cking that many beautiful and simple things had already not adapted to it.
When Zhang Tie recalled the heavy rain that night when he promised to marry Pandora in the railway station, Zhang Tie felt sad…
"Aah, these are said to be extremely irresistible full-moons gates, which would not open until the two moons turned full in the sky…"
"Couldn't we break them?"
"Many knights have tried to break them a few days ago. However, they're made of the same material as that of the tower of time and could never be destroyed by external force!"
"Let me have a try…"
"Boom…boom…"
When Zhang Tie heard the loud sound, he had already approached the huge metal octahedron in the core of the region.
It was a thousand meters high facade on the surface of the metal mountain which carried the tower of time on its top.
The entire octahedron had six facades. The tower of time was located on the level top of this octahedron, which looked like a mountain, a sacrificial altar and a base. Additionally, six staircases led to the tower of time on the top from the bottom of each facade. The entity of the tower of time and the octahedron below it was complex, simple and mysterious.
"Aah, here comes Qianji Immortal…"
"Qianji Immortal…"
"Come, give way…"
With the exclamations, when Zhang Tie recovered his composure, he saw the huge full-moons gate as all the others had already given way to him in front of him.
There was a full-moons gate in the middle of each facade. Therefore, there were totally six full-moons gates. None of those footholds of big forces would stay too far away from the six full-moons gates, including that of the knights of Demons-kill Valley. Therefore, Zhang Tie unconsciously arrived here after leaving Demons-kill Valley's base.
The entire full-moons gate was higher than 100 m and wider than 30 m. As a portal for giants, it was fully majestic. In front of this full-moons gate and the facade on its back, Zhang Tie felt like being an ant in front of the city gate of giants. Looking up his head, he observed this magnificent and marvelous creation which was out of the mundane world.
If it was Zhang Tie's first time to see it, he must have exclaimed like those black iron knights. However, Zhang Tie had seen many similar buildings these years. Therefore, he remained calmful.
This full-moons gate reminded Zhang Tie of the huge gate of the bloody sacrifice hieron as they were too similar to each other.
Watching the awful, fearful or obsequious look of the surrounding people, Zhang Tie didn't walk away. Now that he had been here, he would take a good look at it. In fact, he had prepared to see it.
"Ahh, you've left there…" Bai Suxian uttered as she flew over here. The moment she landed, she had leaned against Zhang Tie while grasping his hand.
Bai Suxian knew Pandora and that Zhang Tie went to inquire about the information of Pandora in Demons-kill Valley's camp just now. Smart women always knew that they should spare private and free space for their men. As it was relevant to the little princess of Demons-kill Valley, she felt inconvenient to follow Zhang Tie there; therefore, she just waited outside for Zhang Tie.
After Zhang Tie came out of there, he had been walking towards here. At the sight of this, Bai Suxian hurriedly flew towards here.
Holding her soft, tender hand and sensing her trickling spiritual energy, Zhang Tie felt warm at a stroke as he smiled at Bai Suxian, saying, "Here's a full-moons gate, I'm here for a look…"
Bai Suxian replied with a sweet smile silently as her spiritual energy surged a bit like an impulse. Zhang Tie knew that Bai Suxian was warning him that he couldn't run his spiritual energy and battle qi and should take care of himself. Zhang Tie slightly nodded as he fixated onto this full-moons gate and started to observe it carefully.
This full-moons gate was magnificent. It appeared being made of metal or crystal while bizarre runes were flowing on it. On the top of the gate, there was a pattern of the circle of two snakes connecting with each other, head to end, one black, the other white. This pattern or mark was as same as the one on the entrance of the tower of time that they had just seen. Additionally, it was the mark of Great Wilderness Sect, because of which, they confirmed that this was a hidden Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect…
Chapter 1535: Weird Similarity
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Watching the two snakes engulfing each other, Zhang Tie had a doubt——why most of the religious totems of humans were reptiles or carried the features of reptiles?
In human history, even races and civilizations on different continents or subcontinents which had no communication with each other shared same elements in their religious totems.
In this world, there were too many kinds of animals; then why only reptiles occupied such a high percentage among their religious totems?
Zhang Tie didn't know the answer, nor did he believe that the others in this world knew it; because the knowledge and fields might be involved with great secrets in far-ancient times. Therefore, people in this age were confused about the religious totems which shared the same elements.
Thankfully, it was just a doubt. As Zhang Tie was not here for archaeological and academic study, he dropped this whim at once.
Under the totem comprising two snakes, there were some bizarre symbols, among which, Zhang Tie, even having no knowledge about astrology, could instantly see stars and two full moons in the sky.
There was not a single hole for key or crystal. As it was full of light nearby, the patterns on the gate became the only information.
The key to this gate was the power granted when two moons waxed.
As it was already mid-July, only less than two weeks left from full moons.
Drawing Bai Suxian's hand, Zhang Tie strutted forward a few footsteps as he pushed one hand against the gate forcefully.
Zhang Tie had such great strength that he could even press a piece of alloy flat by one hand. However, even though he pushed this gate with his full strength, this gate still remained still. It indicated that this gate could indeed not be destroyed by external force.
Zhang Tie tried to look through the gate and the ground by lotus-flower eyes. Pitifully, In front of the mysterious strength, Zhang Tie failed to see anything inside.
But…
'Yi…'
When Zhang Tie fixated onto those stars and full moons on the gate, Zhang Tie's heart slightly pounded.
Under his lotus-flower eyes, those stars and full moons should be an entity which remained still; however, strangely, the energy carried by those patterns was different than the rest of this gate in level. The color temperature of the two energies didn't completely coincide.
Without lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could never discover such a difference.
However, because Zhang Tie didn't see the same full-moons gate before, he didn't know the meaning of the difference. Perhaps all the full-moons gates were the same. Therefore, Zhang Tie only felt a bit strange about it.
However, Zhang Tie didn't tell Bai Suxian about his discovery. After throwing another glance at this gate, Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian instantly, "Let's take a look at other gates!"
"Hmm!" Bai Suxian replied as she flew away with Zhang Tie towards another nearby full-moons gate, hand in hand.
"Have you seen a full-moons gate before?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian secretly by battle strength.
Bai Suxian shook her head as she replied, "Not yet. However, my third uncle said he had seen many full-moons gates. Many hidden underground entrances of Dongtians were full-moons gates. In far-ancient times, many human activities and ceremonies were carried out according to natural phenomena so as to answer the call of nature perfectly and for the optimal effects. My third uncle told me just now that the six full-moons gates looked completely as same as that he had seen before. The waxing and waning of moons, the eclipse of the sun or the moons, specific constellations or stars in certain locations were all keys to natural phenomena gates. All those who have studied the tower of time and natural phenomena gates confirmed that these were natural phenomena gates!"
"Really?"
"What are you worried about?" Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie with a smile as she added, "The full-moons gate could never be destroyed or triggered by human force. Don't you believe it's true?"
"Nah, let's take a look at other gates!"
The two people then circled around the tower of time while stopping in front of each full-moons gate and observing it seriously for a short while.
The six full-moons gates were completely the same. Additionally, all the patterns on the six gates didn't completely coincide with the rest of the gates in energy level as was discovered by Zhang Tie before.
After observing the gates, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian seriously observed all the eight walls of this Dongtian.
There were metal sculptures of various vivid, grim, tan birds and beasts on the walls. However, all the sculptures shared a commonplace——eyes closed.
On each wall, there was a huge, white metal sculpture. If these sculptures could be sold, they were definitely priceless artworks. Zhang Tie found that some knights wanted to remove those sculptures, despite, in vain. These sculptures were organically integrated with the octahedral metal mountain, the tower of time, the ground and the dome of this underground space, which could hardly be ruined.
However, watching those sculptures, Zhang Tie gradually got a strange feeling because those sculptures were too familiar for him.
"Don't you feel a bit familiar with these sculptures on the walls alongside this place?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian, suspending in the air in front of an over 100 m long metal sculpture in the shape of a grim snake with a pair of wings.
"Familiar? But we've not been here before…" Bai Suxian replied as she watched Zhang Tie with a bit surprised look.
"Think about it!" Zhang Tie gave her a tip as he pointed at the sculpture of that weird snake, "In the lobby full of war puppets in the bloody sacrifice hieron when we were in Earth-elements Realm…"
Chapter 1536: Zhang Tie's Doubt
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Bai Suxian instantly revealed a shocked look as she looked around and said, "You mean…"
"Enclosed space, metal ground and walls, nothing could be easily destroyed; and the sculptures are similar to war puppets. If this place was closed, have you imagined about the outcome?"
"You think these sculptures are war puppets?" Bai Suxian asked out of exclamation as she pointed at an over 100 m long-winged snake with a bit terrifying look. At the same time, she fired a battle qi towards the head of the snake.
Besides a muffled sound, she only left a shallow fingerprint on the head of the snake.
All the other statues on the walls remained still with eyes closed.
Zhang Tie observed the vivid, long metal snake once again by his lotus-flower eyes as he found that this long snake integrated with everything in this space. It was completely like these war puppets that he saw in the bloody sacrifice hieron. When those war puppets remained still, Zhang Tie couldn't find that they were anything different than normal sculptures; however, when they moved, their battle strength could even match that of black iron knights. Additionally, they could be barely exterminated, which was the most terrifying aspect of war puppets.
Although this Dongtian had a large space, Zhang Tie noticed that many of those fierce beasts on the five walls had wings like this boa. This might be a coincidence; however, it might also be a purposeful setting.
"Civilisations in far-ancient times look like myths now! We could barely figure out such myths!" Zhang Tie heaved a sigh, "We don't know about the secret of the tower of time; we don't know about the secret of war puppets; we don't know about the secrets of space-teleportation equipment and silver secret items. However, this place is absolutely a sacred land for Great Wilderness Sect. In these places, it's very normal to have war puppets as guards. In addition, Great Wilderness Sect was always immersed in driving various animals and special beasts. If we're indeed in a sacred land of Great Wilderness Sect, do you feel strange that those sculptures on the walls would turn into war puppets on some occasions?"
"However, all the sculptures look good. Additionally, after so many human knights have arrived, they remained still. If they were like war puppets in the bloody sacrifice heiron, they should have long been activated when strangers entered for driving us away!" Bai Suxian retorted seriously after thinking about it for a few seconds, "Additionally, according to my knowledge, war puppets would be activated the moment outsiders intrude in the space that they were defending. Most of the places with war puppets meet this condition besides bloody sacrifice hieron!"
���As I say, there are still too many things about these far-ancient civilizations that we don't know. The manufacturing skills and control mode of war puppets are still unknown to us all. What if these war puppets could be under the control?"
"Impossible. I've never heard that anyone could manipulate these war puppets. Additionally, Great Wilderness Sect has already perished for so many years. Even if these war puppets could be under control, who would make it? Aren't we safe here?" Bai Suxian said as she pointed at the entrance on the dome, "Even if it's unsafe here, we could leave here at least."
Kneading his face, Zhang Tie revealed a smile and said, "I always feel something is not right about that tunnel. Perhaps, I'm thinking too much. But do you know what did I feel when I passed through that tunnel?"
"How did you feel?"
"I felt like passing through a living object's belly!"
"A living object? Impossible! They're just metal!"
If it was Zhang Tie who said so, Bai Suxian might have touched his forehead to see whether he had got a fever.
Zhang Tie didn't know how to answer Bai Suxian. In fact, the weird feeling rightly came from the resonance between the Great Wilderness Sutra that he was cultivating and this place.
"I always feel it's a bit too coincidental. We should take care of ourselves. We don't feel any danger here at this moment, because we could leave here every once a while. Have you imagined about the outcome when those war puppets are triggered and so many knights couldn't leave here?" Zhang Tie squinted his eyes as a sagacious light flashed across his eyes.
"You mean we've walked into a trap?" Bai Suxian asked as she looked around.
"I didn't mean it. I just feel that it's not as safe as it appears. Additionally, some aspects couldn't be seen through. As a large number of knights gather in a small place, once they lose their way of retreat, they would face a very serious outcome…"
Her face turning solemn, Bai Suxian said, "Do we need to tell my third uncle? If it's as dangerous as you say, we knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion could leave first…"
After considering it for a few seconds, Zhang Tie shook his head as he replied, "No need. I couldn't prove it. Additionally, it's just a feeling. Perhaps, I'm just thinking too much. We should take care of ourselves…"
Bai Suxian nodded. Closely after that, they flew back to the base of Lord Guangnan's Mansion in this space and entered a tent. Like the other knights, they just waited for the full-moons gates to open.
In fact, there were many words that Zhang Tie didn't tell Bai Suxian. Humans died in pursuit of wealth while birds died in pursuit of food. As for knights, the lure of secret items and the tower of time were almost irresistible. The moment he came to this Dongtian, Zhang Tie had recalled the scene where Stars and Moons Sword Sage Samaranqi was trapped and killed in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
It was too coincidental for the four sage freaks to discover this place. According to the popular gossip, the group of four occasionally discovered a map and some clues left by Great Wilderness Sect which led them here. Although this reason sounded reasonable, Zhang Tie always felt something was wrong when he connected the discovery of this Dongtian with the following series of events…
After taking a round here, Zhang Tie found that everything in this Dongtian was as same as that of All-spirits Tower that was manifested by Great Wilderness Sutra that he was cultivating in his mind sea. When he arrived here, the All-spirits Tower in his mind sea even resonated with this place. However, strangely, when he entered this place, the response of his All-spirits Tower appeared having been restricted and isolated by something, making it a bit constrained…
This feeling from his All-spirits Tower was like returning to his home after a long journey outside while the owner of the home had been changed.
Chapter 1537: The Hot Topic
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
From a certain perspective, the full-moons gates were used to attract more people there after the discovery of Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was exposed to the public.
If there was only one tower of time in this Dongtian, which had been occupied by four sage freaks, even though the location of this Dongtian was exposed, not too many people would come here. Perhaps, in a few days, when they realized that they couldn't share any profit here, they would not come here anymore. By contrast, knights were coming here one after another day by day to share the profit after the full-moons gates opened.
Such a situation made Zhang Tie restless. However, the news of the discovery of Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect continued to spread across Taixia Country. Zhang Tie became helpless as he could only wait for the development of the situation.
Because too many knights were here, as long as an emergency occurred, the outcome would be catastrophic.
Nevertheless, the dark and greedy side of humanity attracted more and more knights here.
Over these days, the hottest news in the Mountain of Brilliance was the discovery of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. After entering the forum of Mountain of Brilliance, people would see that all the hottest news and articles were about the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. As a result, the news about the warfare at Weishui River which took the preoccupancy in the forum of Mountain of Brilliance declined to the second place.
Being stimulated by the news of the discovery of Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, even the history concerning the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect became a hot topic again in the forum of Mountain of Brilliance.
——The discovery of dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect
——Top six sects converged in the south border to open the treasury of Great Wilderness Sect
——A summon of independent knights for Centralpillar Mountain
——Trace of suspension of Great Wilderness Sect
——Top treasure discovered in South Border
——Analysis of treasures in the dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect
——On the possibility of the discovery of Great Wilderness Sect in Centralpillar Mountain
——Detailed strategies on entering the first floor of dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect
——Natural phenomena gates——the secrets of gods
Such articles filled the entire forum of Mountain of Brilliance, which thrilled all the knights in Taixia.
When all the elements such as secret items, treasures, tower of time and Great Wilderness Sutra mixed with each other, the Centralpillar Mountain in the south border immediately became the most attractive place in Taixia Country.
…
Over these days, Zhang Tie just stayed in the Dongtian and waited for the opening of the full-moons gates while cultivating endless true words quietly.
Zhang Tie hitherto didn't need to cultivate endless true words by opening his mouth anymore. Mouth closed, he just uttered the sound through the rock of his throat and tongue, which then passed to his upper jaw. After that, the voice gathered and rocked his eardrum, causing resonance with the All-spirits Tower in his mind sea.
In this case, even knights standing in front of Zhang Tie didn't know that Zhang Tie was cultivating the secret method of Great Wilderness Sutra .
As he couldn't run his battle qi and spiritual energy, it became the best method for him to kill time by cultivating Great Wilderness Sutra .
At this moment, Zhang Tie heard faint footsteps approaching him. The voice broke the door of the tent and came all the way to Zhang Tie's front. After kneeling down, the familiar tender, fragrant voice sounded at Zhang Tie's ears, "Deyang Immortal of Heavens Fortune Sect is coming…"
After hearing it, Zhang Tie stopped his cultivation as he opened his eyes and saw Bai Suxian sitting on her own feet while whispering near his face.
"Poh…" Zhang Tie lightly kissed her face. Bai Suxian revealed a sweet smile as they stood up and left the tent.
At this moment, over 20,000 knights had already entered the first floor of the Dongtian before the opening of the full-moons gates. Previously only a few people pitched tents here. However, at this moment, Zhang Tie found that the tower of time and the octahedral mountain were surrounded by tents while more and more knights with powerful backgrounds and space-teleportation equipment arrived.
The situation in the air of this space was more crowded. To make an improper metaphor, the knights in the air were like flies flying here and there while knocking every once a while. They were all dreaming about discovering some treasure or secret items here. Occasionally, battle qi smokes and tornadoes could be seen in the Dongtian which indicated skirmishes due to overpopulation.
The first floor of the Dongtian was simply like a vegetable market full of hubbub.
On the bank of Weishui River, even such a large number of knights could be constrained by military decrees; however, at this moment, all the knights were here for treasures on equal footing. Even the orders of knights of top six sects would not work here. Additionally, in order to respond to major sects, independent knights allied with each other which could guarantee them a greater right of speech.
Watching the chaotic situation, Zhang Tie could only heave a sigh inside. Humans died in pursuit of wealth while birds died in pursuit of food. Even knights couldn't escape from this golden law.
In this case, there was no special request for him to receive a guest. The moment he exited his tent, Zhang Tie had already seen Deyang Immortal.
Deyang Immortal remained unchanged in appearance at least. However, after taking down Yan Feiqing, at the sight of Deyang Immortal's solemn look, Zhang Tie had felt like laughing out with a strange look.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, Deyang Immortal also blushed faintly. Closely after that, he glared at Zhang Tie, threatening the latter that if Zhang Tie dared mention the shameful bygones between him and Yan Feiqing, he would give Zhang Tie a bite.
"Ahem…ahem…elder brother, why do you look so brilliant…" Zhang Tie couldn't stand making a joke.
"Don't laugh at me. Although I couldn't defeat you now, if you make me feel unhappy, I will repay you on your sons. Don't forget that your three sons are still in Heavens Fortune Sect!" Deyang Immortal directly dropped his disguise, causing Zhang Tie speechless.
"Immortal, I've not imagined that you could be so roguish…" Zhang Tie shook his head as he said with a bitter smile.
"It's not me who became roguish, but this world changes too fast. After thinking about it, I feel that sometimes I should behave like Black-face Cheng. Being shameless, I would feel much better. As you're also an immortal now, we don't need to be that constrained with each other…" Deyang Immortal said with a sigh as he watched Zhang Tie.
"Elder brother, do you lead your group of Heavens Fortune Sect?" Zhang Tie asked as his face turned serious.
"Yup, I lead the group. I'm alone here…"
"Aah? Why?" Zhang Tie became surprised as he asked, "Don't you know that Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion dispatched over 100 people here respectively under the leadership of heavenly knights?"
"Before setting off, my head predicted that Heavens Fortune Sect would gain nothing in Centralpillar Mountain. Besides, we would meet some dangers. Therefore, he just sent one person here in case of big trouble. After being told that you're here, I proposed to come here to share with your glory!"
"Glory what?"
"You're the only one who could survive the thunder of nirvana. My head said you were favored by God and would never die on any occasion. I would be safe with you…"
Zhang Tie heaved a sigh as he replied, "Why do you Heavens Fortune Sect have to predict everything so precisely? What would others do?"
"Aren't Taiyi Fantasy Sect's group living well?"
"Then, can you predict the achievements of the other sects?" Zhang Tie asked as a whim occurred to his mind.
Shrugging, Deyang Immortal said, "Even though us Heavens Fortune Sect told that Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion, Demons-kill Valley and Qionglou Pavilion that they would get nothing and face dangers here, do you think they would believe me?"
After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie shook his head as he answered, "No, they would only believe that you're playing a trick to engulf all the treasures in the Dongtian and might dispatch more people here!"
"That's it!"
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two people let out a sigh at the same time.
When they were talking, they felt an abnormal wave from the tower of time——the portal of the tower of time opened, giving out light in all directions. After staying inside for almost 20 days, Mr. Bamboo exited the tower of time, arousing the turmoil among the knights at present…
Chapter 1538: The Gathering of All Knights

Zhang Tie had not imagined that Mr. Bamboo had exited the tower of time when he met Deyang Immortal. Two days later, when the two moons waxed, the six full-moons gates would open.
As the tower of time had been closed for 20 days, Mr. Bamboo should have stayed in it for two decades.
The noise from the tower of time immediately aroused turbulence while numerous meteors flew towards it.
Even Bai Suxian's third uncle was flying towards the tower of time from afar.
Over these days, Bai Runshan had been loitering around and flying across those sculptures while striking them by battle qi every once a while; pitifully, even though there was something in this Dongtian, it might have long been taken away.
Too many knights behaved like Bai Ruunshan. Not only those independent knights, but even many knights of top sects also joined the army of discovery. Because they gained nothing here, they possessed great expectation about the items inside the full-moons gates and were more jealous of the four sage freaks; because none of them knew how many treasures had four sage freaks gained here.
"Will we take a look there…" Bai Suxian suggested as she pulled Zhang Tie's hand, injecting some spiritual energy into Zhang Tie's body.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at Deyang Immortal, who then nodded, saying, "Something might happen there, we'd better take a look over there!"
"Hmm, let's go there!" Zhang Tie replied as he nodded. Closely after that, he pulled Bai Suxian's hand and flew over there at the speed two times that of sound using the ability of divine dominator, hurriedly followed by Deyang Immortal.
Thousands of knights flew towards the gate of the tower of time as they surrounded it tightly.
When Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian arrived there, the onlooking knights gave way to them at once.
Zhang Tie looked around as he found that some of them were glassy-eyed, some were curious, the others couldn't hide their greedy eyes and expression when they watched four sage freaks.
"Are they four sage freaks?"
"Yes, they're the first ones that entered this Dongtian!"
"It's said that all the treasures in this Dongtian have been collected by them besides this tower of time?"
"The top-secret knowledge of Great Wilderness Sect Great Wilderness Sutramight be hiding in Dongtian…"
The surrounding knights were whispering. Watching their greedy eyes and expressions, Zhang Tie abruptly felt something bad was going to happen. This tower of time could be taken as the private belonging of four sage freaks. Additionally, after the tower of time closed, it would enter a long period of silence. There was nothing to scramble for except the treasures that the four sage freaks had achieved on the first floor of Dongtian.
Zhang Tie found an article in the forum of the mountain of brilliance these days, which predicted that four sage freaks who entered the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect might have gained those secret classics such as Great Wilderness Sutra which could arouse people's jealousy for sure.
Four sage freaks were already the target of the public. Even though the others didn't attack them for the time being, many people must be thinking about screwing them. Once four sage freaks left here, they probably would be killed. Robbery didn't only happen to ordinary people; even though knights would suffer a tragedy once they exposed the top treasures that they owned while they couldn't protect themselves. Someone like Zhang Taixuan could even betray their clans by killing his own people, not to mention ordinary people.
The above also explained why Zhang Tie always hid the secret of Castle of Black Iron. Even though he was already a divine dominator and could kill heavenly knights, Zhang Tie also knew that it would bring him endless troubles after he exposed this secret to the public.
At the gate of the tower of time, there was one more person. In grey hair and green robe, he looked like a famous scholar with even some sections of bamboos embroidered on his robe. Given his qi, he was already an earth knight.
The four sage freaks stayed close to each other, weapons in hands. They didn't look satisfied because of the reunion and someone among them promoted to an earth knight; instead, they all watched the surrounding thousands of knights with indignified looks.
Now that Zhang Tie could think through it, the four sage freaks could also understand it. They were all clear that after this event was exposed to the public, they would face an extremely precarious situation. Watching those greedy eyes, they knew that they were too weak in front of so many black iron knights, earth knights, even shadow knights.
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were closely followed by Deyang Immortal and a few more shadows with the powerful qi of heavenly knights at above two times the speed of sound.
"Ahh, immortals are coming…"
With the exclamations, those independent knights hurriedly gave way to them when those heavenly knights arrived.
Totally five heavenly knights arrived!
One was the deputy head of Demons-kill Valley Treasureflame Immortal in fiery boa silk robe and sword-shaped eyebrows.
When Treasureflame Immortal arrived here two days ago, Zhang Tie paid a visit to him. Therefore, they had already known each other and had a good relationship. When Treasureflame Immortal arrived, he noticed Zhang Tie as he instantly nodded towards Zhang Tie while forcing a faint smile.
As for the other heavenly knights, after arriving here, they all stayed solemn as they didn��t mean to greet Zhang Tie; nor would Zhang Tie greet them with condescension. Therefore, although they all knew the existence of the others of their kind, they didn't talk with each other at all.
"Bitch…" Bai Suxian abused at this moment when Zhang Tie knew that Fang Xinyi was coming too…
Chapter 1539: Heavenly Knights
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The heavenly knight dispatched by Taiyi Fantasy Sect was their deputy head Swords Immortal.
The heavenly knight dispatched by Heavens Holding Pavilion was their deputy head Clouddragon Immortal.
The heavenly knights dispatched by Qionglou Pavilion was a grandma with goosebumps, the deputy head Reflectingmoons Immortal.
Another one was Woodbuilding Immortal the founder of Jiang Clan, Herbal Clan.
Besides 10 knights following the Woodbuilding Immortal, all the other clans' deputy heads were followed by over 100 knights, which manifested the special domineering qi fields of major clans.
When Zhang Tie gazed at those heavenly knights flying over there, Bai Suxian immediately discovered Fang Xinyi in the team of Qionglou Pavilion based on her inexplicable intuition and insight.
Although Fang Xinyi was Lord Guangnan's wife, in major events, when Reflectingmoons Immortal of Qionglou Pavilion arrived, she joined the team of Qionglou Pavilion without demur; instead of joining the team of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, which really shocked Zhang Tie a bit.
All the other heavenly knights threw a glance at Zhang Tie silently. Only Woodbuilding Immortal of Jiang Clan nodded towards Zhang Tie politely. Zhang Tie nodded towards him too as a response.
After sensing being gazed by a pair of eyes, Zhang Tie turned around as he saw a man in the team of Heavens Holding Pavilion watching him.
It was Gu Qingyun. Before Zhang Tie returned to Youzhou Province, Gu Qingyun was always a genius among the young generation of Youzhou Province. Whereas, after the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, Gu Qingyun had been dwarfed by Zhang Tie. From then on, Zhang Tie rarely heard any news about Gu Qingyun except that he had returned to Heavens Holding Pavilion for diligent cultivation. They had not imagined that they could meet here once again after departing from each other in Youzhou City.
Previously, the difference between Zhang Tie and Gu Qingyun in position and social status was sharp. Zhang Tie had already become a shadow knight and a divine dominator; however, Gu Qingyun was still a black iron knight. Only after a few years, if one was not favored by God or had a chance to enter a tower of time, he could never promote to an earth knight. Even though being a genius, Gu Qingyun could never match Zhang Tie.
Gu Qingyun had not imagined that Zhang Tie could have such a sharp perception. When he saw Zhang Tie turning around and fixating on him, Gu Qingyun instantly turned aside while an embarrassed and flurried look flashed by. Meanwhile, he hid among the disciples of Heavens Holding Pavilion.
"You're that black iron knight of four sage freaks who has entered the tower of time?" Swords Immortal of Taiyi Fantasy Sect opened his mouth as he watched the four sage freaks, some tiny sword-shaped braids on his head and two long swords on his back, making him full of aggression and flamboyance like a blade coming out of its sheath. The moment the others heard his voice which was neither pleasant nor furious and saw his distant and majestic eyes, the scene around the tower of time had turned silent at once. All the other heavenly knights didn't speak either, including Zhang Tie. After looking around, Swords Immortal nodded satisfactorily as he added in a more aggressive manner, "It seems that you've achieved a lot in the tower of time. Look, you've already promoted to an earth knight. How did you find this place? If you hide any secret to us, I will definitely let you have a miserable death!"
Watching Swords Immortal's unruly deed, Zhang Tie slightly frowned; whereas, he remained silent. In Zhang Tie's eyes, what did the deputy head of Taiyi Fantasy Sect do rightly proved that Taiyi Fantasy Sect had joined the Imperial Alliance to exterminate the Great Wilderness Sect. However, neither did Imperial Alliance nor Taiyi Fantasy Sect get the Great Wilderness Sutra . This time, Taiyi Fantasy Sect might also come here with the intention for gaining the Great Wilderness Sutra .
As Zhang Tie gazed at Swords Immortal, he kept observing the moguls of the other major sects. Actually, on this occasion, Zhang Tie could easily judge who among the top six sects had joined Imperial Alliance besides Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
After hearing Swords Immortal speaking to them like they were his disciples, all the four sage freaks revealed furious looks. Bad-tempered Mr. Chrysanthemum raised his eyebrows as he was about to rush forward if not being towed by Mr. Bamboo. After throwing a glance at Swords Immortal and the surrounding knights, Mr. Bamboo took in a deep breath as he took out an old piece of tan metal plate, which carried the obvious symbol of double snakes of Great Wilderness Sect. Closely after that, he threw it to Swords Immortal as he said, "We four brothers have lived in South Border for so many years. We were always interested in the treasures and Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. We got this piece of the metal plate one year ago beneath a deserted courtyard of Great Wilderness Sect. It recorded some information about this Dongtian and the way to enter it. We think that this piece of the metal plate might be left by an elder or disciple of Great Wilderness Sect. After studying it for a long time, we finally targeted Centralpillar Mountain, then here…" Mr. Bamboo explained as he threw a glance at the surrounding knights who were casting covetous eyes towards him, "That's all we know. As for the rest floors of Dongtian and treasures, we won't participate in the discovery anymore. It depends on yourselves…"
Zhang Tie found that Swords Immortal had lowered his head and studied the lines and characters on the piece of metal plate carefully who then exchanged a glance with Clouddragon Immortal the deputy head of Heavens Holding Pavilion. Zhang Tie's heart then slightly pounded.
"Clouddragon Immortal, take a look…" Swords Immortal then passed the piece of metal plate to Clouddragon Immortal the deputy head of Heavens Holding Pavilion.
Clouddragon Immortal was slightly fat and looked kind. With two short beards, he always smiled like a rich, innocent local official. After receiving the piece of the metal plate, Clouddragon immortal squinted his eyes and observed it for a short while before nodding and passing it to Reflectingmoons Immortal the deputy head of Qionglou Pavilion.
Reflectingmoons Immortal replied with a cold harumph as if she was not satisfied that she was the third person who read it. However, she still received it and took a look at it before nodding and teleporting it into her space-teleportation equipment without demur as if it should be.
Woodbuilding Immortal of Jiang Clan, Herbal Pavilion, as a heavenly knight too, turned gloomy at once…
