Chapter 1924: A Breakthrough
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
This deities' battle puppet's body was terrifyingly hard. Ordinary far-distance strikes couldn't hurt it at all. It could only be solved in close combat. Additionally, like those battle puppets that Zhang Tie met before on some special occasions, it was immortal in a restricted area. It would always recover itself no matter how many times it was shattered.
Soon after the deities' battle puppet was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away, the cut of its body had turned into soft liquid. Closely after that, the two halves of the body flew towards each other and started to stick to themselves.
Additionally, soon after Zhang Tie made such a boom, two more deities' battle puppets had flown over here from afar. Only after a short while, they had been within 30 miles with strong fierce qi.
"We cannot spend too much time on these deities' battle puppets. We must solve them as soon as possible and move fast. Once being haunted by them, more and more deities' battle puppets would arrive from different directions. Additionally, they are undying. Although they couldn't form a powerful battle formation and overlie their battle forces, if a colony contains too many ants, they could also bite an elephant to death." Force Emperor warned Zhang Tie secretly with his battle qi.
Closely after that, the terrifying, huge saber appeared in the hand of Force Emperor. Before Zhang Tie moved, he had darted towards the two deities' battle puppets.
Under Zhang Tie's gaze, Force Emperor broke the sky with his saber light. With the tactic of killing them respectively, he soon shattered the two deities' battle puppets into pieces and turned them into drops of bloody liquid suspending in the air.
As runes flew inside them, those drops of bloody liquid started to gather up.
"Elder Long, Elder Ying, as you're new here, you'd better stay close to the light curtain. Don't deepen inside and try your luck until you're familiar with the combat pattern with these deities' battle puppets. Once you feel you can't defeat them, you must exit the light curtain at once. These things couldn't chase you out of the core region!" Zhang Tie turned around as he warned Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng who had just come to his side.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we won't be greedy this time. We've just come here to figure out the situation in the core region and the battle force of these deities' battle puppets. We will stay together. If we do not feel good, we will exit right away. Your Majesty, don't worry about us. Hurry, your top priority is to find Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring!" Long Jiutian said in a muffled voice. After that, Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng exchanged a glance with each other. Then, they didn't follow Zhang Tie anymore; instead, they all rushed towards the deities' battle puppet which had just been broken into two halves by Zhang Tie. Closely after that, the two people started to fight that deities' battle puppet which had just revived.
At this moment, those supreme immortal generals of Force Emperor Immortal Palace and the other palaces who had entered the core region of Mountain Ruins had rushed in all directions. They all scattered. Many people directly entered the closest entrances as they couldn't wait to try their lucks.
After shattering two deities' battle puppets, Force Emperor didn't stay there; instead, he rushed upwards.
As of now, Zhang Tie didn't have any concerns. He then flew upwards at a speed of tens of thousands of meters per second.
If people wanted to try their lucks in the core region of Mountain Ruins, they could only enter the core region of Mountain Ruins. There were two entrances accessing to the inside of the core region of Mountain Ruins. One was not far away from the place where they entered just now; the other was on the second floor. It was dozens of times more difficult for people to enter the inside of the core region of Mountain Ruins through the entrance on the top than that at the bottom.
Both Zhang Tie and Force Emperor wanted to enter the core region of Mountain Ruins through the entrance on the top.
Zhang Tie flew towards the entrance on the top at a lightning speed. Those deities' battle puppets rushed towards Zhang Tie from the sky by batches, at least dozens in total. However, Zhang Tie didn't waste time on these deities' battle puppets at all. He had already dodged away and left them far behind at a super high speed before these deities' battle puppets approached him.
Force Emperor didn't mean to waste time on these deities' battle puppets either; instead, he also rushed towards the entrance on the top with Zhang Tie.
As a result, those deities' battle puppets instantly blocked some supreme immortal generals who were following Zhang Tie and Force Emperor in the air.
Previously, those supreme immortal generals wanted to rush towards the entrance on the top after Zhang Tie and Force Emperor in case of greater loss. Pitifully, after Zhang Tie and Force Emperor adopted the same tactic to push forward rapidly, their plan was destroyed at once.
On the second floor of the core region of Mountain Ruins, there were 8 entrances in total, which were respectively on four sides, 2 on each side.
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie and Force Emperor had surpassed everyone else and flew into an entrance respectively. After flying thousands of miles inside, the two people completely separated from each other.
After avoiding some batches of deities' battle puppets on the way, Zhang Tie finally came to an entrance accessing the inside of the core region of Mountain Ruins.
That entrance was a huge archway higher than 100 m. On both sides of the archway, there were two mighty huge statues of snake-human with overwhelming qi; each of them was higher than 100 m. It was an open square in front of the two statues.
360 deities' battle puppets were standing over the square in a huge battle formation.
When Zhang Tie appeared, those deities' battle puppet opened their bloody eyes at the same time as they all fixated onto Zhang Tie at once.
At this moment, Zhang Tie couldn't avoid anymore.
"Go die…" Zhang Tie shouted with wide, furious eyes as he waved his black huge tower and rushed towards those deities' battle puppets.
The 360 deities' battle puppets surged towards Zhang Tie like a tide.
Bang… the first deities' battle puppet was shattered…
Bang… the second deities' battle puppet was shattered…
Bang… the third deities' battle puppet was shattered…
With loud sonic booms, Zhang Tie entered the encirclement of those deities' battle puppets like a fierce tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Meanwhile, he hit those deities' battle puppets one after another with his black huge tower in an overwhelming manner like landslide and tsunami.
At this moment, Zhang Tie had exerted his full strength; instead of hiding his real battle force anymore. When those deities' battle puppets touched the black huge tower, they were broken into red raindrops spraying over the sky, which didn't start to gather up until they were sent flying tens of thousands of meters away.
Zhang Tie kept waving his huge mallet as he triggered his protective battle qi, protective sword wind and pupil swordsmanship at the same time. As a result, the region within hundreds of meters absolutely became a terrifyingly, fatal region. While sustaining the attacks of those deities' battle puppets, Zhang Tie broke through the encirclement of the 360 deities' battle puppets as fast as possible in the fiercest and directest way like a red-hot sharp sword. Closely after that, he strode into the high archway. Almost at the same time, those deities' battle puppets which were baring their fangs and waving their claws behind Zhang Tie suddenly paused…
An irresistible force inside the archway instantly drew Zhang Tie onto the ground from the air the moment he entered.
When Zhang Tie fell to the ground, he instantly knelt down on the ground as he felt weak.
Closely after that, Zhang Tie spurted out a mouthful of blood, which drew a bloody sector on the ground.
Face pale, Zhang Tie panted heavily. Meanwhile, he turned around and took a look at those deities' battle puppets. At this moment, all the deities' battle puppets which were besieging Zhang Tie hardly just now had already stopped their movements as if they couldn't see Zhang Tie. They started to queue up on the square outside the archway again. Then, they all closed their scarlet eyes again as if nothing had happened just now…
It was the price that Zhang Tie had to pay for turning the greater part of the 360 deities' battle puppets into a bloody rain over the sky. After being besieged by 360 deities' battle puppets, Zhang Tie would never be safe and sound no matter how powerful he was.
Actually, it was the solution with the least price that Zhang Tie could work out. At this moment, the deities' battle puppet which was broken into pieces by him first had just recovered. It didn't have a chance to join the battle for the second time; instead, it returned to the battle formation outside the archway. If Zhang Tie stayed in the square for a few more seconds, he might have suffered a greater loss…
Chapter 1925: Surprise!
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Tie panted for quite a while. After that, he wiped off the blood at his mouth corners and slowly picked himself up. Then, he started to look around this bizarre place.
There was a huge palace behind the archway. This palace was higher than 200 m. It was so magnificent that it didn't seem like being built by humans. Many odd runes were flowing over the walls and the ground faintly. The ground of the palace was as clean as a mirror, which could clearly reflect Zhang Tie's shadow. Besides Zhang Tie, nobody else was in the palace. There was not even any decoration inside the palace. There were only 5 closed gates at the end of the palace which looked such mysterious and profound.
Based on his great resilience, Zhang Tie had almost recovered his wounds.
This palace should be inside Buzhou Mountain.
Zhang Tie felt an irresistible power inside this palace, which drew him to the ground. As a result, he couldn't fly in the palace. However, his space-teleportation equipment was still available here because of the balanced time-space force.
'It might be the place where Tang Mei could come out according to her descrpition.'
After taking a look at the 5 gates at the end of the palace, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy. The huge black tower in his hand instantly shrunk and finally became a 15 cm-higher mini-tower before flying above Zhang Tie's head and rotating over there. Closely after that, Zhang Tie pointed at his central forehead by finger. The mysterious portal accessing to Castle of Black Iron in his mind immediately reflected a light&shade in front of him. Through the light&shade, the Motian Mirror that he once saw in Emperor NvWa's Palace immediately appeared in this palace. Closely after that, the mirror started to undulate like a ripple. Then, Tang Mei in white skirt walked out of Motian Mirror.
"Brother, thank you for helping me leave Emperor NvWa City and visit another world…" Tang Mei appreciated Zhang Tie as she watched him and giggled.
"Ha, hopefully, you don't regret!" Zhang Tie said as the light&shade disappeared. Closely after that, Motian Mirror disappeared too.
"I'm just trying my best. Brother, I believe that you don't want to see me die soon!" Tang Mei said with wide eyes as she started to look around this colossal palace like a little girl who had just got off the tourist coach.
As for a person who would live in Emperor NvWa City for the rest of her life, it was really a rare experience for her to visit a place outside Emperor NvWa City.
Zhang Tie shook his head silently with a bitter smile.
Besides acquiring great power from Emperor NvWa City, Tang Mei's active space was limited. As Emperor NvWa, Tang Mei couldn't leave Emperor NvWa City in ordinary days. However, with the help of Zhang Tie's Castle of Black Iron, she could. Meanwhile, she had determined to make a new trial. If Zhang Tie couldn't have Castle of Black Iron integrate with the space ball of Motian Realm, even though Tang Mei could leave here alive and return to Emperor NvWa City in the end, she could only live 3 more years at most. 3 years later, she would perish. Neither would any new Emperor NvWa appear in Emperor NvWa's Palace.
Even Zhang Tie admired this maiden's strong will. To be honest, even Zhang Tie was not confident enough to integrate the Castle of Black Iron with the space ball of Motian Realm until now; because he would encounter many obstacles in the process. However, Tang Mei put all the stakes on him. Even Zhang Tie didn't know why Tang Mei had such confidence in him.
"Where are we going?" Zhang Tie asked Tang Mei.
Nobody in Motian Realm knew the inside situation of Buzhou Mountain better than Tang Mei, humans or demons.
"Brother, as you've just passed so many obstacles, don't you want to know the surprise behind those gates?" Tang Mei asked as she pointed at the 5 gates at the end of the palace.
Zhang Tie knew that Tang Mei wouldn't do harm to him. Therefore, he instantly ran towards the 5 gates.
Although Zhang Tie couldn't fly, he could also move rapidly on the ground.
The one in the middle of the 5 gates looked a bit bigger. It was higher than 100 m and could almost match the other archways outside. By contrast, the 4 gates on its two sides were relatively smaller. Meanwhile, there was an odd rune on the top of the four gates respectively.
Zhang Tie came straight to the left-most gate as he found that the rune on the top of the gate was like a seal character "fire". Zhang Tie looked up at it for a short while. Closely after that, he put his hands on the thick gate and lightly pushed open a gap.
A strong qi of fire element instantly surged out of the gate. Being stimulated by it, Zhang Tie couldn't help making a sneeze.
'How could there be such strong qi of fire element?' Zhang Tie wondered. He then pushed open the gate completely out of curiosity. Closely after that, he was submerged in a red glow.
It was a colossal space behind the gate. At the dome of the space, there was a huge overturned sacrificial altar. There were various bizarre runes around the sacrificial altar. Additionally, four huge pillars drooped down in different directions, forming a huge claw, which caught a "huge dough" which was wriggling and giving out the glow.
The "huge dough" tinted the entire space red. The strong qi of fire element came from the wriggling "huge dough".
When Zhang Tie came to the front of the "huge dough", he slightly closed his eyes and reached his spiritual energy into that "huge dough". In an instant, he was startled by what he saw.
'F*ck!'
Zhang Tie became dumbfounded as he almost jumped up.
The "huge dough" was connecting to the Elements Realm from inside. The situation facing the Elements Realm inside the "huge dough" almost toppled over Zhang Tie's recognition about Elements Realm. The elements inside the Elements Realm were not element crystals that were flying in the space like fireflies and meteors; instead, it was absolutely a mountain of the purest fire element.
Standing in the Elements Realm, the mountain was giving out a brilliant glow magnificently as if it could never be exhausted.
What Zhang Ties' spiritual energy to this mountain of fire element crystals was what a mouse to a huge granary. Any cultivator would be shocked by this scene in an indescribable way.
Unconsciously, Zhang Tie was going to drool.
The mountain of fire element crystals was like a huge treasure house of element crystals in the Elements Realm whose fire element crystals would never be exhausted. If one cultivated in such an environment, he only needed to sniff the strong qi of fire element instead of taking any element crystals.
"Is it the place for cultivation inside Buzhou Mountain?" Zhang Tie asked Tang Mei when he saw her walking to his side.
Tang Mei also looked up at the wriggling "huge dough" at the dome. It was only one of its functions. Precisely, it's an element pool inside Buzhou Mountain. Besides being conducive to people's cultivation, the element in this element pool could even be made into any objects that they wanted by some powerful deities. It was a building material of Buzhou Mountain!"
Zhang Tie tried to draw some fire elements from the mountain. The moment he ran his spiritual energy, he had drawn a wisp of purest fire element out of the Elements Realm. After leaving the "huge dough" and the odd sacrificial altar at the dome, the purest fire element instantly condensed into top-quality fire element crystals, which fell off the dome heavily like raindrops.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of top-quality fire element crystals had fallen to the ground beside Zhang Tie.
"Did all the element crystals in those emperor-level immortal palaces come from here?"
"Of course, however, very few people could enter here apart from immortal emperors in Motian Realm!"
"Did the element crystals of Emperor NvWa's Palace also come from here?"
"No, there're also four elements pools like this in Emperor NvWa's Palace. You can take all the element crystals away from here. This element pool will be filled with element crystals in 360 years…"
After hearing Tang Mei's words, Zhang Tie instantly ran his spiritual energy and caused fire element crystals to fall off the dome like raindrops. The density instantly increased by more than 10 times. Tens of thousands of fire element crystals dropped off per second.
Zhang Tie opened Castle of Black Iron and teleported all the fire element crystals into Castle of Black Iron.
Even though these element crystals were not useful now, they still had great value in the future. They could help others form their fire chakras.
Even though Castle of Black Iron could integrate with the space ball of Motian Realm, it would also take it a long time to complete it. All the resources inside Mountain Ruins were not under the control of Zhang Tie in a short period of time. Additionally, Zhang Tie was destined to return to Taixia Country. Therefore, Zhang Tie teleported these precious element crystals into Castle of Black Iron first…
Finally, the mountain of fire element inside the Elements Realm of the "huge dough" turned into millions of top-quality fire element crystals and was teleported into Castle of Black Iron.
After cleaning up all the fire element crystals in this room, Zhang Tie entered the other 3 rooms and teleported all the element crystals of the other element pools into Castle of Black Iron.
After cleaning up all the elements of the four elements pools, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei came to the front of the gate in the middle.
"Are you ready?" Tang Mei asked with a long sword in hand. Just now, she looked relaxed. But now, she turned serious.
Zhang Tie nodded as he asked, "How about you?"
Tang Mei nodded too.
Zhang Tie then took in a deep breath as he pushed open the gate in the middle…
Tang Mei flashed in first…
Chapter 1926: Joining Hands in Breaking Through
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Watching Tang Mei flashing inside ahead of him, of course, Zhang Tie, as a man, was unwilling to lag behind. He followed Tang Mei in closely through the gap of the gate.
There was a long tunnel higher than 100 m behind the gate. It was a bit dim inside the tunnel. There were evident damages and collapses inside it. In the well-preserved places, gloomy odd rune light was flowing over the ground. The entire tunnel was in dead silence just like a tunnel in an underground grave. They felt restless.
Watching those broken places in the tunnel, Zhang Tie took in a deep breath.
If they were broken rocks or metals, Zhang Tie wouldn't feel strange about them; however, all the broken places were made of a special material being neither stone nor metal. It was similar to the material of time tower that he once saw in Earth-Element Realm in Taixia Country. In Zhang Tie's eyes, this material was almost as indestructible as Infinite Immortal Prison. However, there was many damages inside this tunnel. Therefore, Zhang Tie wondered what sort of force could destroy this material.
Zhang Tie instantly felt something was wrong with the qi. His Heavens-Separation Sword also appeared in his hand at once.
He couldn't fly in Buzhou Mountain; additionally, as it was relatively narrow here, he couldn't give full play to his black huge tower. By contrast, this shorter saber or sword would be much proper.
Although walking on the ground, they didn't make any sound.
After walking about 3 miles, they turned a corner. Closely after that, Zhang Tie saw a corpse lying there.
It was a human powerhouse's corpse leaning against the corner between the two walls. Zhang Tie didn't know how many years it had lain there. The corpse was in a set of completely broken immortal outfit. However, that corpse's head almost touched its back. What was strange, the corpse appeared to have not rotten; instead, it was still well-preserved. Additionally, the corpse's surface looked dark gold. It was a bit weird.
When the two people passed by it, the corpse instantly opened its eyes. Closely after that, it stood up and charged at Zhang Tie and Tang Mei. Before it touched them, it had already released a dense mass of dark gold battle qi towards Zhang Tie through its fist.
The dense mass of battle qi strike was as powerful as that of a top supreme-level immortal general although it couldn't match that of an immortal emperor or demon emperor.
Zhang Tie was startled as he jumped up and avoided that battle qi strike at once. Closely after that, he charged at the corpse at lightning speed and waved his Heavens-Separation Sword. Then, its head which was half connected to its neck was chopped off and sent flying far away. After that, a sharper and more powerful sword qi arrived from Zhang Tie's back, chopping that headless corpse into pieces before falling to the ground.
The noise here appeared to be able to arouse the attention of the other things. Soon after they smashed the corpse, they had heard rustles at the end of the tunnel, which caused them to break out gooseflesh all over.
"Hurry, go. Otherwise, we will be blocked in this tunnel…" Tang Mei who behaved meticulously just now instantly darted forward at lightning speed, closely followed by Zhang Tie. When he passed by a piece of the corpse, he even took off a finger ring from its finger. Almost at the same time, he teleported the finger ring into Castle of Black Iron.
Zhang Tie and Tang Mei both moved very fast. Even though they were running on the ground, they could still reach over 10,000 m per second. They didn't even leave any shadow. Before they rushed out of this long tunnel, they had seen a dense mass of bloody deities' battle puppets charging at them from the end of the tunnel.
"Rush over…"Zhang Tie quivered once his Heavens-Separation Sword as a swirling tornado of dense sword qi swept over those deities' battle puppets.
The first deities' battle puppet was instantly shattered into pieces by the sword qi of Zhang Tie's Heavens-Separation Sword.
As a golden secret item, Heavens-Separation Sword could finally give full play to its power in Zhang Tie's hand at this moment.
After smashing some deities' battle puppets, Heavens-Separation Sword started to reduce its power. At the same time, Tang Mei's sharper and more powerful sword qi turned into a streak of golden light and smashed those deities' battle puppets in front at once.
Zhang Tie and Tang Mei instantly broke out of this tunnel with a sword.
It was a colossal space in the hinterland of Buzhou Mountain outside the tunnel. It was even larger than the former palace. The space in the hinterland had many portals in different directions. Additionally, there were three stairs upwards. One was facing Zhang Tie, the other two were on his two sides.
There were more deities' battle puppets here, over 500 in total. Besides those bloody battle puppets, Zhang Tie even found a dark blue deities' battle puppet among them.
The dark blue deities' battle puppet was 20 cm higher than those bloody battle puppets. It looked stronger. When it pointed at Zhang Tie and Tang Mei who had just rushed into the lobby with a spear in his hand, all the other deities' battle puppets had rushed towards Zhang Tie and Tang Mei like a tide.
"The dark blue deities' battle puppet is as powerful as immortal emperor. I will deal with it. The exit is above the stairs on the left…"
The stairs on the left were behind these deities' battle puppets. If they wanted to reach there, they must pass through these deities' battle puppets.
After communicating with Zhang Tie rapidly, Tang Mei jumped up like a snow-white lotus flower and charged at that dark blue deities' battle puppet by stepping on the heads of those bloody deities' battle puppets and those sabers and swords in terms of a streak of white light.
Tang Mei blew up all the heads that she stepped on by her foot. Meanwhile, all the sabers and swords that she stepped on would blow up together with deities' battle puppets' arms. All the deities' battle puppets that she had passed by would reel right and left like being plowed…
It was Zhang Tie's first time to witness Tang Mei's battle force. He admired her to the extreme. Without exaggeration, Tang Mei was absolutely the most powerful woman that he had ever met.
With a growl, Zhang Tie rushed towards those deities' battle puppets. Meanwhile, the sword qi of his Heavens-Separation Sword in his right hand surged 10 times in an instant, covering the space within 100 m. At the same time, he punched out his left fist as a huge hot sun with the light&shade of spike shrimp jumped out of the billows of the sword qi and shew up in the space of the hinterland, brightly lighting everything in the surroundings…
Facing Zhang Tie's punches and slashes, those deities' battle puppets were shattered.
When deities' battle puppets were approaching Zhang Tie, they would face his heavy protective sword wind and Pupil Swordsmanship strike.
Facing this strike, Zhang Tie killed all the deities' battle puppets who dared block him and marched forward rapidly along the way that Tang Mei had just created…
…
A few minutes later…
With a loud boom, the dark blue deities' battle puppets were broken into pieces by Tang Mei while they were sent flying in all directions. Those bloody deities' battle puppets became temporarily stunned. At this moment, Tang Mei turned around and slashed some deities' battle puppets into pieces in front of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie stamped to the ground and instantly darted forward. Meanwhile, he inserted his Heavens-Separation Sword into the chest of deities' battle puppet on his way. Before the deities' battle puppet slashed its saber towards Zhang Tie, it had been shattered into pieces and turned into a bloody rain by the sword qi of Heavens-Separation Sword.
In the end, Zhang Tie punched backward and broke over 10 deities' battle puppets into pieces as if they were toys. Meanwhile, he moved backwards and broke out of the encirclement of the deities' battle puppets and reached the stairs on the left of the space together with Tang Mei. Closely after that, they rushed upwards.
Zhang Tie thought those deities' battle puppets wouldn't follow them just like those outside. Unexpectedly, even though Tang Mei and Zhang Tie had rushed onto the stairs, those deities' battle puppets also followed them up as if they wouldn't stop until they caught up with them.
Zhang Tie was startled.
However, those deities' battle puppets couldn't move as fast as Zhang Tie and Tang Mei. When they sped up, they instantly expanded the distance between them and those deities' battle puppets.
The winding stairs appeared to have no ends. When he and Tang Mei rushed upwards rapidly, Zhang Tie asked her with his battle qi, "Will those deities' battle puppets stop chasing us?"
"No! These deities' battle puppets inside Buzhou Mountain shoulder different duties than those outside. Those deities' battle puppets would not follow you in; however, these deities' battle puppets would follow you up all the way!"
'F*ck!'
'If we continue like this, we would die sooner or later no matter.'
"Is there any solution?"
"Yes, there is!"
"What?"
"When they think that they cannot find us, they will return to the original places!" Tang Mei replied when they had rushed out of the winding stairs and entered a bigger space. When they didn't see any deities' battle puppet here, they instantly became relaxed. However, before Zhang Tie asked where they were heading for, Tang Mei suddenly caught his hand and jumped off the huge pond being circled with white fog in the middle of the space. When they entered the water, Tang Mei pointed at the water. At the same time, the water in the pond separated itself and didn't arouse any wave.
After entering the water, the two people released their protective battle qi and drove to the bottom of the pond where was deeper than 100 m in an instant.
Tang Mei made a hand gesture "hush". She and Zhang Tie then waited there patiently silently…
After a short while, they heard footsteps passing the ground rapidly. After a short while, they heard footsteps again. After more than 10 minutes, Tang Mei pointed at a black tunnel at the bottom of the pond which was higher than 2 m. Zhang Tie then nodded at her. After that, the two people sneaked into the tunnel and swam towards afar…
Chapter 1927: Wonders
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Unlike water, it was bone-chilling and was about minus 100 Celcius degrees. Weirdly, it was not frozen; instead, it was still flowing. Meanwhile, the water could heavily erode one's protective battle qi. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to fix his protective battle qi while swimming.
The tunnel inside the pond was as complex as a max. It was connected to many other ponds of different styles and sizes. Zhang Tie could see one pond in each a few minutes. There were odd black sands at the bottoms of those ponds which appeared to be used to plant something. Additionally, Zhang Tie saw some withered and broken roots which were thicker than 3 m in those black sands. As they had been there for so many years, they immediately turned into powders floating in the water after being lightly touched by hand.
The density of water was even several times greater than that of mercury; additionally, it formed a very high pressure at the bottom of ponds. As a result, they couldn't swim fast even if they wanted. Each step forward would cost them great amount of physical strength. Ordinary fighters could barely move even an inch in the water even if they were not pressed to sh*t by the great water pressure.
If not Tang Mei who worked as his guide, even Zhang Tie didn't know where were they heading for. Therefore, Zhang Tie just followed Tang Mei to turn left and right in water pipes.
After about 8 hours' swimming, they entered the bottom of a greater pond from the maze-like pipe network.
Perhaps, it was more like a lake than a pond; because Zhang Tie found that the bottom of this lake covered tens of thousands of square meters and was deeper than 100 m. The entire lake was filled with that odd water. The water of those ponds should come out of this lake. The black sands at the bottom of this lake were thicker than those in other ponds. Meanwhile, the broken roots here were thicker. Many roots were thicker than 8-10 m. Swimming in this lake, Zhang Tie felt like wandering in a primitive forest which only remained its tree stools.
"Where are we heading for?" Zhang Tie asked Tang Mei secretly using his battle qi.
"Go to the opposite bank." Tang Mei pointed at front. Closely after that, they swam towards the opposite bank.
When he reached halfway of this lake, Zhang Tie suddenly caught sight of a huge skeleton in the black sands and those broken roots.
The grimly white skeleton was longer than 100 m, which looked like a boa's remains. However, there were four limbs under the skeleton; additionally, its head was like that of an ox with two antlers.
At the sight of this skeleton, Zhang Tie instantly became stunned. Even though he had not seen a real dragon, when he caught sight of this skeleton, Zhang Tie could immediately recover its look when it was alive. Undoubtedly, it was a dragon, a real dragon, an image in the totem of Hua people.
As a Hua people, it was Zhang Tie's first time to see the real symbol of Hua people. Therefore, Zhang Tie was greatly shocked for quite a while.
By contrast, Tang Mei didn't feel strange about it. Zhang Tie then swam to the side of that skeleton. Only by touching it had he teleported the entire skeleton of the dragon into Castle of Black Iron. After that, he continued to fly towards the opposite bank.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, the dragon's skeleton was also a treasure of great meaning.
After reaching the opposite bank, the two people floated up. Zhang Tie exposed his eyes out of the water and checked the situation on the bank secretly.
This lake was in a colossal space of the hinterland of Buzhou Mountain. There were some similar damaged buildings near the bank. All the buildings were higher than 40 m. With sharp-pointed roofs, they were like large conch shells. Additionally, there were looming runes over the main bodies of these spiral buildings. Many buildings had been heavily damaged like glasses being hit by huge iron hammers.
There was a closed gate near the place where they came out of the pipes under the water. When they reached the opposite bank, they were close to a patch of strange woods. All the trees in the woods were higher than 100 m just like skyscrapers. Zhang Tie could identify that they were trees; because almost all the trees had lain down or tilted in the same direction. Many trees even exposed their roots and huge pits over the ground.
The odd woods appeared to have encountered a destructive fire accident. All the trees had been burned black. Many trees were absolutely broken or fell down or tilted towards one direction. Few trees were still standing. None of the trees were still alive. It was as silent as a graveyard.
The key was that Zhang Tie didn't see any traces of deities' battle puppets or any corpses in those damaged buildings or this patch of destroyed woods.
It should be safe for the time being.
Zhang Tie directly jumped out of the water and stood on the bank, closely followed by Tang Mei. Watching this patch of pitch-dark woods, Tang Mei slightly knitted her brow as she shook her head and sighed slightly, "What a pity! I've not imagined this…"
"Nothing pitiful!"
"According to the records of Emperor NvWa's Palace, all the trees are very precious Heavenly Sandalwoods. They have many marvelous effects. Previously I thought that there should be at least a couple of Heavenly Sandalwoods alive here. It seems that they're all dead!" Tang Mei said with great pity.
"Where are we going?"
"Take a rest somewhere in this patch of woods today. We will pass through it tomorrow. There should be a tunnel leading upwards at the end of this patch of woods…"
"Good!" Zhang Tie nodded.
Starting from entering the core region of Mountain Ruins, Zhang Tie had been fighting fiercely. He almost didn't have a rest. To be honest, it was not an easy experience at the bottom of water over the past 10-odd hours. Although Zhang Tie could still stick to it, when he considered that he might face fierce battles in the following, he also thought it was necessary to take a rest for recovery.
Dark should have already fallen outside Mountain Ruins.
After deciding to stay overnight in this patch of woods, the two people entered the woods to look for somewhere proper to stay.
There's no soft soil on the ground. Perhaps, there was soft soil here. But now the ground had become so hard. The ground across the woods had been completely solidified like having been burned in a brickkiln or porcelain kiln for long. Those places which looked like slopes were actually as hard as iron. Even those irregular soil particles in the huge pits at the root of those collapsed huge trees which looked soft were actually as hard as granites.
The terrifyingly high temperature had already turned this patch of woods completely into a barren land like magic.
The huge trees were crossing like city walls in front of Zhang Tie and Tang Mei disorderly, also like fallen edifices after a terrifying earthquake. As a result, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei could only fumble in the gaps between those huge trees, surpass or detour many obstacles.
After a short while, Zhang Tie caught sight of a 1 m-higher huge hole in the middle of the trunk of a broken and fallen huge tree ahead. Additionally, the hole was covered by the trunks and twigs of the surrounding broken or fallen trees. It was a relatively hidden place, which couldn't be discovered from afar. Zhang Tie then pointed at that place. Tang Mei nodded. Therefore, they walked towards that tree hole.
When they approached it, they found that the tree hole was very wide inside. The entire tree hole twisted and extended over 20 m deep in the trunk. Its entrance was small. However, on the back of that opening, namely the inside of the tree hole, it was a bump-sized space, which was available for two people to rest inside.
"Ha, it's a nice place. If we set a fire inside, we won't even expose the light…" Zhang Tie entered it, closely followed by Tang Mei who lifted her skirt.
The precious golden secret item Heavens-Separation Sword in Zhang Tie's hand completely worked as a tool for chopping firewoods.
The core of the trunk had not been completely carbonized; however, it was also as hard as iron. With flying white sword light, Zhang Tie soon made two beds for two people on two sides. Those bits of wood became firewoods.
Zhang Tie piled up those firewoods. Closely after that, he flicked his fingers and sent a sparkle flying into those firewoods. Only after a short while, he had made a bonfire inside the tree hole. The bright light instantly drove the darkness away inside the tree hole. The entire tree hole instantly became warm and made them feel reassured.
Beside this bonfire, the cold brought by the bone-chilly water gradually disappeared.
"Brother, won't we roast some potatoes?" Tang Mei winked as she told Zhang Tie.
After hearing Tang Mei's words, Zhang Tie became temporarily stunned. Closely after that, he really took outside potatoes from Castle of Black Iron and threw them to the edge of the bonfire.
After setting a bonfire, Zhang Tie smelt a mysteriously special fragrance inside the tree hole. Only after taking a sniff lightly, Zhang Tie had felt being crystal-clear; meanwhile, his guts felt such cool and smooth. Even his spiritual energy and battle qi were greatly nourished…
"Ah, what's that fragrance?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"It's one of the effects of Heavenly Sandalwood. Pitifully, these Heavenly Sandalwoods have been damaged for such a long time. As they're already dead, only less than 1/10 of their effects persist. If you lit a burning incense with the wood of live Heavenly Sandalwood, you will find its fragrance could even improve the cultivation base of immortal emperors and is more beneficial to ordinary generals and immortal soldiers…" Tang Mei said with pity.
When he realized the value of this patch of woods, Zhang Tie finally understood why Tang Mei sighed for that. This thing was even more precious than element crystals.
Chapter 1928: The Ultimate Goal
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
When he heard Tang Mei talking about the benefits of Heavenly Sandalwood, Zhang Tie rolled his eyeballs. He was thinking about teleporting all the Heavenly Sandalwoods into Castle of Black Iron.
Watching Zhang Tie's look, smart Emperor NvWa instantly guessed what Zhang Tie was thinking about as she said, "Brother, do you want to teleport these Heavenly Sandalwood in Castle of Black Iron?"
Zhang Tie scratched his head bashfully as he smirked, "I'm indeed thinking about doing that. After all, my Castle of Black Iron has enough space to hold all of them. Additionally, although the greater part of their surface has been carbonized, the part of the wood in the middle of these trees should still preserve some great effect. These items couldn't even be bought in the world where I came from. Therefore, I want to take them back…"
At this moment, Zhang Tie's mentality was like that of a man who had worked many years outside and was going back home——bring some local specialties or gifts to his family members and friends. As he had been to Motian Realm, he couldn't go back empty-handed. If Motian Realm was taken as a treasure mountain, he had to take something back more or less.
With this mentality, Zhang Tie had been to Deities' Plain to teleport all the thousands of air-floating mountains there into Castle of Black Iron before coming to the core of Mountain Ruins. They were all floating in the sky of Castle of Black Iron and shocked those aborigines so much. They all regarded them as their god's masterpiece too. If not that Buzhou Mountain was too large to be held by Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie had long teleported the entire Buzhou Mountain into Castle of Black Iron.
"Brother, you're preparing well all the items that you're going to take back to Taixia Country. Don't you care about whether I'm dead or alive after that? Whatever, it depends…" Tang Mei instantly sighed with a plaintive look.
After staying with Tang Mei for long, Zhang Tie gradually became familiar with her personality. In the beginning, he thought that Tang Mei was indeed sad on this occasion; not until now did he realize that Tang Mei was always disguising in this situation. Perhaps she had been unrivaled in Emperor NvWa City too long, she became somewhat lively like a naughty girl who used to play jokes with him.
"Well, well, well, don't disguise anymore…" Zhang Tie sighed. After adding some precious Heavenly Sandalwood inside the bonfire, he continued, "I've got too many family members and friends in Taixia Country. Even though I could have Castle of Black Iron integrate with the space ball of Motian Realm, it depends when I would come to Motian Realm for the second time. Of course, I should bring some gifts to them. It's unreasonable for me to return empty-handed. Additionally, as the holy war between humans and demons was still like a raging fire in Taixia Country, these items could become precious strategic resources over there…"
"Alas, you've seen it through again. Boring…" Tang Mei said. Closely after that, she continued with a smile, "But it will take you a few days to teleport all the Heavens Sandalwood into Castle of Black Iron…"
"Are we busy?"
"No!"
"That's it. My time has not been as precious as feeling wasteful picking rarities!"
"Well, as you will. Brother, you might blame me for the rest of your life if I don't agree with you!" Tang Mei gave a compromise to him.
Zhang Tie smirked as he instantly recalled something. He then watched Tang Mei with burning eyes and asked her, "Oh, you've promised me to show me the map of Buzhou Mountain after we entered it. Don't break your promise!"
It was one of the conditions that Tang Mei had promised Zhang Tie if he could bring her to the core of Mountain Ruins. In the beginning, Zhang Tie actually didn't agree to take her with him. However, he couldn't persuade her to give it up; instead, he was convinced by her to bring her along. Therefore, he could only come here with her.
Tang Mei indeed kept her promise. After hearing Zhang Tie's request, she instantly raised her fair finger and pointed at Zhang Tie's central forehead. In an instant, a map and prodigious information about the inside of Buzhou Mountain appeared in Zhang Tie's mind sea.
This map was priceless for any supreme immortal general, immortal emperor or demon emperor in Motian Realm. With this map, the core region of Mountain Ruins which so many powerhouses were searching over at the risk of their lives was completely presented to Zhang Tie.
The map and information about the core of Mountain Ruins were more precious than the most secret method in Motian Realm. Those people or immortal palaces who had mastered part of it all took them as top secrets. They would never leak the relevant information that they had mastered to others. For instance, Force Emperor knew some information about the core of Mountain Ruins; however, he didn't expose anything about it to Zhang Tie.
However, nobody could imagine that Emperor NvWa who couldn't leave Emperor NvWa City had the entire map of Buzhou Mountain in her mind.
In the map, the Buzhou Mountain was really an indescriptive, huge pyramid structure. It was hundreds of thousands of miles high.
Referring to the three-dimensional map in his mind sea, Zhang Tie instantly locked his location.
He was at the center of the core region of Mountain Ruins. The entrance where Zhang Tie entered the Buzhou Mountain was on the lower floor. On that floor, there were totally 8 entrances. Over 600 miles below that floor, there were 64 entrances for supreme immortal generals. The complete internal structure of Buzhou Mountain was like that of a skyscraper being composed of many floors. However, because the core of Mountain Ruins was only a partial region of the top of the complete Buzhou Mountain, Zhang Tie could only confirm his own location from the top region.
If they ascended 7 floors, they would arrive at the top of Buzhou Mountain.
The routes inside Buzhou Mountain were hundreds of times more complex than that of a maze. All the routes were connected with each other. Principally, those supreme immortal generals who entered Mountain Ruins from the 64 entrances at the bottom might also come to the place where Zhang Tie and Tang Mei were. They could even reach the highest floor. Actually, as they didn't know the concrete routes, each supreme immortal general just traveled inside blindly. Plus those dangerous and powerful deities' battle puppets and many more dangers inside Mountain Ruins, nobody else could reach the floor where Zhang Tie and Tang Mei were.
Zhang Tie and Tang Mei were in a place called Heavens Sanders Wood inside Buzhou Mountain according to the three-dimensional map. At the end of this wood, there was a huge round tunnel leading to the higher floor, the name of which made Zhang Tie dumbfounded——Cross-Realm Flower Realm…
'Does Cross-Realm Flowers come from Buzhou Mountain?'
"Our ultimate goal is the top floor of Buzhou Mountain. The space ball of Motian Realm is also inside there…"
After hearing Tang Mei's voice, Zhang Tie fixated onto the top place of that building on the map. It was marked as Heavens of Light!
Chapter 1929: Fierce Deities
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
'Heavens of Light?'
This name was strange. Zhang Tie had never heard about it before. When he heard it, he immediately felt it was ethereal.
Zhang Tie gazed at that three-dimensional map in his mind sea for quite a while as he found that there was only one route leading to the top of Mountain Ruins. There was a huge tower called Babel on the floor under Heavens Light. It was the mere tunnel that connected the two floors like a huge pillar.
"You said it was the most dangerous place in Buzhou Mountain. Do you know what fierce things are inside there?" Zhang Tie asked Tang Mei out of curiosity.
"To be honest, I don't know it either!" Tang Mei replied as she slightly shook her head.
"You don't know?" Zhang Tie raised his voice at once.
"Brother, do you think I'm almighty God? How could I know everything?" Tang Mei rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie. After that, she stroked the hair beside her temple, which made her more womanly. "Since Buzhou Mountian was damaged, nobody had ever accessed to the highest floor. Despite being the owner of Emperor NvWa's Palace, I couldn't know everything either. It's just my speculation!"
"Speculation?" Zhang Tie asked with a bit dumbfounded look, "How dare you believe in your speculation at the risk of your life?"
"Of course, but my speculation is reasonable. I speculate according to strict analysis; I'm not just making a guess blindly!"
"Well, what do you think the fierce thing is inside there?"
"Besides deities' battle puppets, there probably were some dead existences which were even more powerful than immortal emperors or demon emperors. They could easily tear anybody inside it into pieces!"
"Aren't they dead? How…" Zhang Tie instantly stopped; because he recalled the corpse that they encountered in the tunnel soon after they entered Buzhou Mountain. Although the corpse appeared to have died for many years, it instantly sprung up and launched a strike towards them and startled them a lot when they passed it.
Dead things could continue to threaten others. Zhang Tie instantly recalled puppet worms. Dead men under the control of puppet worms were even more terrifying than alive people.
How could there be such or similar things inside Buzhou Mountain? Perhaps those inside Buzhou Mountain were more advanced than puppet worms or were relevant to an unimaginable secret method. Now that Buzhou Mountain was destroyed in a war, they might have used any tricks they could. If the war's ferocity was not out of their imagination, how could it easily destroy Buzhou Mountain.
After hearing Zhang Tie's guess, Tang Mei replied,
"True. The so-called puppet worms are just an inferior control device. They could at most control supreme-level immortal generals. As long as people form their immortal chakras, they will not be controlled by these inferior puppet worms. According to the records in Emperor NvWa's Palace, I learned that one party or both parties in the war between deities might have used some strength of universal law which was even irresistible for deities. This magical strength could turn late pals of one party into undying walking dead who could keep fighting ceaselessly. Unless their physical bodies have absolutely perished, they could never be killed. This strength still remains after tens of thousands of years. It covers the entire Buzhou Mountain. With the influence of this strength, all the complete late immortal generals and above inside Buzhou Mountain have become fierce deities like that we've seen at the beginning!"
"Fierce deity? Is that what they're called?"
"Yes, according to the records of Emperor NvWa's Palace, those who have formed their immortal chakras and could still kill people despite being dead with the influence of a strong strength of universal law are called fierce deities. There probably be fierce deities who have formed 2 or 3 immortal chakras inside Heavens of Light!"
Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile. Even immortal emperors inside Motian Realm have just formed one immortal chakra. He dared not even imagine about the those who have formed two or three immortal chakras. He then asked Tang Mei, "What if I'm scared by your words?"
"Brother, how could you be scared so easily?" Tang Mei said as she winked her eyes.
"It's human's instinct to pursue good fortune and avoid disaster. I think I'm still with my instinct!" Zhang Tie said helplessly as he flipped those potatoes with a stick, "How do you think I could have a chance to survive the challenge from a fierce deity who has formed two or three immortal chakras. Oh, what if we encounter a fierce deity who has formed four immortal chakras inside the highest floor? If we rush inside, it's nothing different than seeking death! May you tell me a piece of good news which could make me bolder?"
"There's no fierce deity who could form 4 immortal chakras!" Tang Mei said with a smile. Zhang Tie's helpless look became such manly in Tang Mei's eyes; because it was his bravery on the back of his helpless look.
"Why?"
"Because the forbidden strength of universal law could at most turn deities who have formed 3 immortal chakras into fierce deities. Is it a piece of good news which could make you bold, brother!���
Zhang Tie showed the white of his eyes towards Tang Mei as he said with a sigh, "Alright, you'd better not call me brother later on. As long as you call me brother, I would feel being screwed by you again. Is the top treasure of Buzhou Mountain that you said inside there?"
"Brother, do you want to pluck up your courage by asking about that?"
"Of course!" Zhang Tie replied straightforwardly, "If I'm not stimulated at this moment, I'm really afraid that I don't have enough confidence and bravery to enter the highest floor to integrate the space ball of Motian Realm with Castle of Black Iron!"
"Brother, you really don't know how to lie!" Tang Mei said as she watched Zhang Tie with a smile and spoke lightly, "Brother, actually you will enter Heavens of Light no matter what's inside it and whether I'm inside or not. You have long got the reason for entering it, am I right?"
"After hearing your words, I feel like a fool!" Zhang Tie said as he flipped those potatoes by a stick and threw a well-cooked one at Tang Mei. "Take it. I wonder whether the potatoes being cooked with heavenly sandalwood would taste better with straws…"
After throwing one well-cooked potatoe at Tang Mei, Zhang Tie also took one. After cleaning its dust by palm, he started to tear off its skin. Closely after that, the entire tree hole was filled with a rich fragrance.
One night passed soon…
Not knowing why, although Tang Mei looked so beautiful that she could cause fish to sink in water, swallows to fall to the ground, moon to hide itself and flowers to shame; Zhang Tie had never thought about having sex with her at all. They just slept in clothes beside the bonfire. Zhang Tie felt such calm. After being called brother for long, Zhang Tie really treated Tang Mei as his younger sister and pal. Meanwhile, although Tang Mei treated Zhang Tie intimately and relied on him to a certain degree, Zhang Tie could feel that the relationship between Tang Mei, as the space spirit of Motian Realm, and him was not love. It was just mutual trust.
…
3 days later, when Zhang Tie left this woods, he had already teleported all the high heavenly sandalwoods into Castle of Black Iron…
Chapter 1930: Escape
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
One month later, at the entrance of a palace under the Heaven of Light inside Buzhou Mountain…
Bang, facing heavy battle qi strikes, the broken gate which had already lost its luster was broken into tens of hundreds of pieces by Zhang Tie's back which then shot outside the palace at a high speed. Inside those pieces, Zhang Tie was moving faster.
A bloody immortal battle puppet was chasing after Zhang Tie closely with a spear in hand. When Zhang Tie flew out of the gate, the immortal battle puppet instantly threw its spear towards Zhang Tie.
The spear shot towards Zhang Tie's chest as fast as a lightning bolt…
Watching the spear shooting towards him, Zhang Tie leaned to one side. When the spear was going to pass by his chest, Zhang Tie suddenly caught the middle part of the spear by two hands. In an instant, like being attached to the spear, Zhang Tie rotated 180 degrees as the spear shot back towards the immortal battle puppet in a marvelous way. Additionally, its power increased by several times at a stroke as it penetrated through the immortal battle puppet's chest and nailed it onto the wall beside the gate.
"How dare you play spear with this grandpa? You're too young too simple. Peh…" Zhang Tie spat his saliva towards that immortal battle puppet in a grossly despised and provocative way as he kept running.
The immortal battle puppet being nailed onto the wall was not completely broken into pieces; instead, it was still gazing at Zhang Tie as if it could understand Zhang Tie's meaning. Struggling, it drew the spear out of its body and the wall bit by bit as it roared.
The gate was completely destroyed as two deep blue immortal battle puppets rushed out towards Zhang Tie at a higher speed, followed by over 1,000 red immortal battle puppets in an overwhelming manner just like an army of ants. They all fixated onto Zhang Tie with their bloody eyes. All the immortal battle puppets were roaring as they determined to grind Zhang Tie into minced meat.
At this moment, a hot sun appeared in Zhang Tie's hand. Zhang Tie activated his Immortal Fist Skill . Zhang Tie punched out, causing the two blue immortal battle puppets to slow down shortly. At the same time, Zhang Tie escaped farther away with the force of a backlash.
Over 13 miles away, there was a bottomless hole on the ground which led straight to the next layer due to a great force, Zhang Tie jumped into the hole without demur.
The two blue immortal battle puppets also followed him in instantly, closely followed by over 1,000 red immortal battle puppets. The one being nailed onto the wall also jumped inside the hole when there was still a hole in his body…
In an instant, the entrance of the palace became quiet.
…
After all, the immortal battle puppets had disappeared for one minute…
…
A huge rock higher than 10 m weighing hundreds of tons behind a collapsed huge pillar suddenly moved thousands of meters away from the entrance of the palace. Closely after that, the entire rock rose into the air, exposing Zhang Tie and Tang Mei below it.
In the place where they were, there was a huge pit in the middle of the rock just like a pot. Zhang Tie raised the huge rock by one hand.
"Hurry, now…" Zhang Tie immediately teleported the huge rock into Castle of Black Iron. Closely after that, he and Tang Mei started to run as fast as they could. In less than 1 second, they had rushed into the palace.
The palace was already quiet. Not a single immortal battle puppet could be seen inside there. Zhang Tie and Tang Mei then passed by the tens of thousands of meters long tunnel of the palace at their highest speed and came to an opener space.
When he came to this space, Zhang Tie couldn't help uttering an exclamation.
The top of this space was totally a magnificently inverted image of stars. On the inverted image, many galaxies were rotating. In this space, he felt standing in the universe and looking down at numerous stars. As a result, he felt being pretty trivial.
In the middle of the inverted image, there was a white pagoda which was over 70 miles high.
The pagoda was connected to the ground on one end and the galaxies on the other, arousing Zhang Tie's imagination.
Under the inverted image, it was an utterly different scenery. It was open and wild. It was full of ruins, broken stones, incomplete walls of palaces. Besides, there were many terrifying, big holes on the ground whose depth ranged from dozens of meters to thousands of meters. When Zhang Tie looked into the distance, he found that half of the ground of this space was like a city being hit by an earthquake of Richter Magnitude 10. The other half was like lava that became frozen after meeting seawater. As for what was beneath that lava, Zhang Tie didn���t know.
It seemed that a terrifying battle once broke out here, leaving everything incomplete. The only good piece of news was that nobody else was here; neither a corpse nor an immortal battle puppet.
After more than 1 month, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei had reached a tacit understanding as they immediately rushed towards that high pagoda as fast as they could.
In less than 5 minutes, when they were halfway to the high pagoda, Zhang Tie suddenly trembled once slightly.
"What's up?"
"My substitute has died…"
"How long would it take those immortal battle puppets to come back?"
"I've taken them away as far as possible. It would take them at least 10 minutes to come back…"
"It's enough. We could rush into the pagoda…"
A few minutes later, before those immortal battle puppets returned, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei had already arrived at the entrance of the pagoda on the first floor.
Chapter 1931: Out of Imagination
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The entrance of this tower still remained complete. Additionally, there were looming lights on both sides of the 100 m high white entrance. It was a white light curtain at the entrance; instead of a gate. When they approached the entrance, a semi-transparent palm-sized token suddenly appeared in Tang Mei's hand. The token then gave out a light towards the white light curtain, reflecting a portal on the light curtain. Zhang Tie and Tang Mei rushed in at a stroke.
When Zhang Tie entered the portal, he saw colorful light and shade. At the same time, a huge transparent bubble appeared on Zhang Tie's side and wrapped him. Closely after that, the bubble flew upwards. Zhang Tie felt weightless as if he were sent into the sky by a rapid ascending air. In less than 1 second, when the light and shadow disappeared, the bubble also burst. Zhang Tie found that he was already in a spacious and bright palace.
Behind Zhang Tie, there were three circular portals, each one contained a light curtain, forming a triangular pyramid which was higher than 10 m. In front of Zhang Tie, there were two rows of deities' battle puppets on both sides of the palace.
When Zhang Tie and Tang Mei arrived here, the two rows of deities' battle puppets suddenly opened their eyes and fixated onto them at the same time.
There were only about 20 deities' battle puppets. However, two of them were blue, which meant that their battle force was close to that of immortal emperor. When Zhang Tie found all of them had fixated onto him, he felt like having goosebumps over his scalp and was ready for a battle…
"Wait a moment…" Tang Mei said as she raised the same token. The token gave out another light, which scanned over the entire palace. Those deity battle puppets whose eyes had turned red instantly closed their eyes and continued to sleep.
Zhang Tie was petrified. Gazing at that token in Tang Mei's hand, Zhang Tie asked, "What's that?"
"It's a token for instrumental spirit in Motian Realm to access to the Heavens of Light. I didn't use it before beause it only works here…"
Zhang Tie looked around as he asked, "Is this the entrance of the Heavens of Light?"
"No, we're in the Instrumental Spirit Palace for instrumental spirits of Motian Realm. We could take a rest here. When we're ready, we could enter the Heavens of Light…"
Zhang Tie nodded. After taking another look at those motionless deities' battle puppets, he became completely relaxed as he put away his Heavens Separation Sword and said, "Why does the instrumental spirit of Motian Realm have an Instrumental Spirit Palace in Buzhou Mountain?"
"At the beginning, the function of Motian Realm was to help deities construct Buzhou Mountain. The instrumental spirit of Motian Realm was like the general logistics butler of Buzhou Mountain. Of course, there's a Instrumental Spirit Palace…"
"Oh, I see!"
Zhang Tie and Tang Mei could really take a short rest here and make preparation to climb the higher floor. The two people had already advanced all the way here in various means and tricks over the past one more month. Therefore, they were intense all the way.
Tang Mei had already found a place to sit down with crossed legs and closed eyes. Zhang Tie then started to stroll in the Instrumental Spirit Palace.
Besides this lobby, there were some rooms in the palace. However, all the rooms were as clean as this lobby. Therefore, Zhang Tie became a bit disappointed. Over the past one month, Zhang Tie had been used to acquiring something more or less.
"Why it's none here. The former instrumental spirit was too poor. The former king roc at least left the infinite immortal hell to me…" Zhang Tie heaved a sigh helplessly when he came back to Tang Mei's side and said.
"There were many objects here. But all of them have been moved to Emperor NvWa's Palace after the war between deities…"
"Is there any similar place in this tower?"
"Yes, there is; but those places are all relatively private. We couldn't access them without a specific token!"
After hearing Tang Mei's words, Zhang Tie became completely disappointed as he also closed his eyes and started to recover himself. At the same time, he started to form a body-separation run in his mind sea…
Over these days, Zhang Tie's body-separation rune played a great role all the way here.
Although deities' battle puppets were powerful, they had limited intelligence. They couldn't find any difference between Zhang Tie's body-separation skill and his original body at all. Each time, when they met a difficult pass or section, Zhang Tie would release his substitute. By luring those deities' battle puppets out of that region at the cost of one substitute, Zhang Tei could create favorable conditions for him and Tang Mei to pass there.
Without the sacrifice of Zhang Tie's substitutes, they could never reach here in such a short period even if they had a map of the structure inside Buzhou Mountain.
…
3 days later, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei had reached their peak states as they stood in front of the light curtains of the three portals inside the Instrumental Spirit Palace.
"You mean we could reach Heavens of Light directly through this portal?"
"Right!"
"Hmm, I will release a substitute into it and have it figure out the situation up there. Then, we will negotiate about the countermeasure!"
"Elder brother, your substitute doesn't need to clash against them. It must figure out the quantity and battle forces of the living fierce deities up there. The two fierce deities with more than 2 immortal chakras are surrounded by a bloody light forever. Given the darkness of the bloody lights, you could judge their concrete battle forces!" Tang Mei warned Zhang Tie with a solemn look.
"If this one doesn't work, I will use some more substitutes at most!" Zhang Tie nodded. Closely after that, he pointed at his central forehead by finger and shot out a body-separation rune from there. In the blink of an eye, the rune had become another Zhang Tie in front of him.
Zhang Tie and his substitute nodded towards each other. Closely after that, Zhang Tie's substitute released its protective battle qi and turned around before entering the light curtain by one step.
The bizarre bubble then wrapped Zhang Tie's substitute and flew upwards as fast as a lightning bolt.
When the bubble broke, it released Zhang Tie's substitute into the Heavens of Light, which was going to figure out the situation inside Heavens of Light before sacrifice!
Heavens of Light was covered with a glow on its ground. However, the glow was not from fierce deities, but from the pieces of fierce deities' bodies…
When Zhang Tie entered Heavens of Light, he stepped onto a palm which was giving out a glow.
Nothing else inside Heavens of Light could stand and move except Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie became petrified…
Chapter 1932: Immortal Spring and Space Ball
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie's life was always full of surprises.
Over the one-odd month, Zhang Tie suffered many hardships and sacrificed more than 10 substitutes before coming to the floor closely after the Heavens of Light. Zhang Tie thought that there were more powerful opponents inside the Heavens of Light. He had been ready to activate his bloodline of battle deity and fight those fierce deities who had formed 2 or 3 immortal charkas as was described by Tang Mei.
However, Zhang Tie felt like punching at a piece of cotton at his full strength. So did Tang Mei.
Therefore, after confirming that there was no living object in the Heavens of Light, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei finally entered the highest space inside Buzhou Mountain with a complex and unbelievable mood.
Heavens of Light was at the top of Buzhou Mountain. The complete Buzhou Mountain was a standard pyramid. Therefore, the Heavens of Light was less than 6 square miles in total. Only after taking a look around this space, Zhang Tie and Tang Mei had confirmed that there was no movable object inside this space.
The ground was covered with pieces of fierce deities. The longest pieces were shorter than an adult's finger; most of them were only as long as half an adult's finger. Based on Zhang Tie's insight and judgment, only after taking a cursory look at those pieces, Zhang Tie had known they were the remains of 4 fierce deities.
Tang Mei squatted down as she observed a piece for a few seconds. Then she stood up and shook her head with a solemn look, saying, "I couldn't figure out how these fierce deities were killed. However, given these pieces, I know the 4 fierce deities must have formed at least 2 immortal chakras…"
"Whatever. To be honest, I couldn't figure it out either!" Zhang Tie shook his head as he heaved a sigh, "Ahem ahem… these pieces really looked terrifying. Let's clean them…"
After saying that, Zhang Tie collected all the pieces with his surging battle qi like a tornado. Closely after that, he teleported all of them into Castle of Black Iron…"
The ground of Heavens of Light became clean in an instant.
"Elder brother, you look happy."
"Of course, I'm happy. It means that I could return home safe and sound without having to fight these fierce deities at the risk of my life…" Zhang Tie said with a smile as he walked towards the high platform which was 1,000 m higher than the ground in the middle of the Heavens of Light.
As for Zhang Tie, it was much better for him to punch at a piece of cotton than an iron sheet.
"Elder brother, aren't you curious about that?" Tang Mei also sighed as she followed Zhang Tie in.
"About what?"
"About how these fierce deities were killed?"
"Perhaps these fierce deities had already died when the earliest war broke out in Buzhou Mountain. After killing them, their opponents left here, leaving these pieces!" Zhang Tie shrugged as he continued, "Don't forget that Buzhou Mountain is a battlefield. It's nothing strange for us to see some corpses on this battlefield."
"Maybe, but what if these fierce deities were not killed at that time?"
"Whatever!" Zhang Tie said carelessly, "I prefer they were killed by someone. Otherwise, we would have big trouble. There're too many strange things in this world. We're not deities. Neither you nor I could control and know everything. We only need to seize current opportunities. As for me, there are only two most important things: first, go back home; second, let Castle of Black Iron integrate with Motian Realm. All the others are subsidiary."
"Maybe you're right…" Tang Mei said with a helpless smile.
"Of course I'm right…" Zhang Tie answered solemnly, "Think about it if these fierce deities were really killed by someone in the earliest war or yesterday, would you like to look for that person who killed so many fierce deities even if you know whom he is? I won't do that. As long as that person doesn't offend me, I will never offend him. If we're really enemies, I would try my best to avoid fighting against him before promoting to an immortal emperor unless necessary. I'm not living for being a detective. Even if I want, it's not the right place for being a detective as it's the battlefield…"
"Detective?"
"Oh, I almost forgot that there's no detective in Motian Realm. Detectives are those who always want to figure out everything!"
"Elder brother, aren't you such a kind of person?"
"Of course not!"
As they talked, they had come to the high platform. There was a huge 10-m higher brilliant, metallic, rugged stone on the platform and a spring mouth on the top of the stone. Springwater was gurgling out of that spring mouth, leading to a small pond under the huge stone.
Next to that pond was a treasure ball giving out golden light whose diameter was greater than 5 m.
Although Zhang Tie looked calm, at the sight of that golden treasure ball and the gurgling huge stone, he still couldn't cover his excitement.
"Is this the space ball of Motian Realm?"
"Yes, this is the space ball of Motian Realm. Elder brother, there should be no problem for you to have Castle of Black Iron integrate with it now. As long as you teleport this space ball into Castle of Black Iron, it will be gradually swallowed by Castle of Black Iron. From then on, the entire Motian Realm will become yours!"
"It will take Castle of Black Iron many years to take Mountain Ruins, not to mention the entire Motian Realm. But I've really not imagined that Nine Heavens Immortal Spring comes from this bizarre stone…" Zhang Tie said as he came to the side of that huge stone and the pond. Then, he squatted down and cupped some water by hand before drinking it. The bizarre feeling was utterly different than what he had experienced in Emperor NvWa Palace the other day. 'Now that I've got this, what else do I want!'

Only after having a few mouthfuls of Nine Heavens Immortal Spring, Zhang Tie had become spirited again. He felt that his battle qi and spiritual energy were going to spill out of his qi sea and mind sea. Additionally, he felt that the remaining bit of resistance from the immortal-human barrier between him and the Energy Realm was instantly destroyed by Nine Heavens Immortal Spring.
Previously, after drinking Nine Heavens Immortal Spring in Emperor NvWa's Palace, Zhang Tie felt that the gate leading to the immortal emperor was half opened, through which, Zhang Tie could already touch the splendid world by edging in. Now, the gate had been completely demolished by Zhang Tie.
The bizarre colorful energies in various shapes in the Energy Realm were flickering on Zhang Tie's side every once in a while. Compared to those energies that Zhang Tie sensed before, these energies were clearer and more surging and concrete. They could be touched by hands. The sieve and barrier between Zhang Tie and those energies had long been disappeared. Zhang Tie felt like entering a vast ocean from a river.
Zhang Tie was drinking the Nine Heavens Immortal Spring which many immortal generals were scrambling for even at the risk of their lives to his heart's content. Across the Motian Realm, nobody else could have such a nice experience, no matter humans or demons.
When Zhang Tie was drinking Nine Heavens Immortal Spring, he felt pretty pleasant. After drinking about one barrel of Nine Heavens Immortal Spring, Zhang Tie turned around and asked Tang Mei with a grin, "Do you want to have some mouthfuls…"
"No need. No matter how much Nine Heavens Immortal Spring I drink, I cannot improve my overall strength anymore. Nine Heavens Immortal Spring only works before one lights his or her immortal chakra. After one lights his or her immortal chakra, it will be meaningless to drink it!" Tang Mei explained with a smile as she stood aside and watched Zhang Tie drinking it attentively.
"Don't you want to take some back to Emperor NvWa's Palace? After all, there's no stockpile in Emperor NvWa's Palace anymore…"
A few days ago, Zhang Tie had drunk up all the remaining Nine Heavens Immortal Palace in Emperor NvWa's Palace. However, due to some reasons, it didn't live up to Tang Mei's expectations. Therefore, when Zhang Tie caught sight of Nine Heavens Immortal Spring, he had another drink.
"Previously, I didn't know that the Infinite King Roc Sutra that you cultivated required more Nine Heavens Immortal Spring to completely break the immortal-human barrier and restore your health. After drinking those Nine Heavens Immortal Spring, you only broke the immortal-human barrier basically and sensed the existence of the energies in the Energy Realm. But now, elder brother, you're already able to absorb the energies in the Energy Realm. You're destined to promote to an immortal emperor in the future. As long as you integrate the Space Ball of Motian Realm into Castle of Black Iron, Emperor NvWa's Palace will not need Nine Heavens Immortal Spring anymore in the future!" Tang Mei said calmly.
Zhang Tie stood up as he burst out laughing. "If so, I will take away all the Nine Heavens Immortal Spring!"
"Elder brother, just take it away. There're a few ponds of Nine Heavens Immortal Spring in Buzhou Mountain, all of which originate from this stone. If you take away this stone, from then on, nobody else will be able to find Nine Heavens Immortal Spring here anymore, no matter humans or demons. That means there will be no demon emperors in Motian Realm. It's good news for humans in Motian Realm. Demons in Motian Realm are doomed to degenerate and be extinct in the future. When your Castle of Black Iron completely integrates with Motian Realm, demons in Motian Realm will die out…"
That was what Zhang Tie wanted. Besides that Nine Heavens Immortal Spring was a rarity, an important reason why Zhang Tie wanted to take it away was that human and demon sages in Motian Realm would never promote to immortal emperors or demon emperors anymore. From then on, the power contrast between humans and demons would be basically balanced.
At this moment, even if Zhang Tie left Motian Realm, there were still 3 human immortal emperors in Motian Realm. However, there was only one demon emperor hiding in the Demon Realm. Demons could never bear such a sharp difference in power.
When the core area of Mountain Ruins was opened this time, demons might have given up competing with humans in Mountain Ruins. As of now, according to the intelligence that Zhang Tie received from outside Mountain Ruins, not a single demon sage had entered Mountain Ruins. Not until 3 days ago did Zhang Tie know that Star Emperor who has disappeared after the war in Deities' Plain didn't come to the core area of Mountain Ruins for possible rarities; instead, he entered the demons' territory and was plundering unscrupulously in the territory of Versatile Demon Emperor.
Of course, Star Emperor was not selfless; instead, he seized the opportunity period when demons suffered a great loss. He could acquire more benefits in demons' territory than in Mountain Ruins. Although Star Emperor was selfish, objectively, his raid gave a heavy blow to demons and caused demons to regenerate at a faster speed. This was why Zhang Tie didn't avenge Star Emperor for attacking Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Deities' Plain. Those who were not of his kind must not stand on his side. Although Star Emperor was cunning, the power of Star Emperor and Star Emperor Immortal Palace also meant the power of humans as a whole. Such a power was beneficial to humans and not to demons.
"I suggest Emperor NvWa's Palace to keep some Nine Heavens Immortal Spring!" Zhang Tie said with an experienced and profound smile, "There're too many unexpected things in this world. Many things are variable. Take this Heavens of Light as an instance, previously, neither you nor I could imagine that the most dangerous place in Motian Realm was so peaceful. There might not be any more demon emperors in Motian Realm, but humans must have the confidence to have more supreme immortal generals promote to immortal emperors. As the guardian of humans in Motian Realm, Emperor NvWa's Palace have to stockpile some Nine Heavens Immortal Spring so that I could leave here without any concern!"
After thinking about it for a short while, Tang Mei finally nodded as she said, "Well, elder brother, you're right. But Emperor NvWa's Palace doesn't need too much Nine Heavens Immortal Spring!"
"Keep some Nine Heavens Immortal Palace for enabling at least 10 supreme immortal generals to promote to immortal emperors!"
"Okay!" Tang Mei said as she raised her hand towards the pond. Closely after that, a stream of water flew out of the pond and entered one of her portable finger rings.
After that, there were still more than 2/3 of Nine Heavens Immortal Spring left. When Zhang Tie wanted to teleport the Nine Heavens Immortal Spring and the colorful huge stone into Castle of Black Iron, he was stunned by Tang Mei's words…
"Elder brother, don't you want to take a look at the source of the conflict between humans and demons?"
Chapter 1934: The Secrets About Deities
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Don't you want to know the source of the conflicts between humans and demons?"
After hearing Tang Mei's question, Zhang Tie instantly asked her with high spirits.
"The source of the conflicts between humans and demons is here!" Tang Mei said certainly as she pointed at that colorful huge rock which was gurgling out Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring.
"That rock?" Zhang Tie asked as he started to observe that piece of rock seriously again, "You mean humans and demons are scrambling for this piece of rock?"
This piece of rock meant Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring. This explanation might be reasonable in Motian Realm; however, there was no Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring in the world where Zhang Tie came from at all. Even so, the conflicts between humans and demons were still ceaseless over there. How to explain this?
"Of course, humans and demons are not scrambling for this piece of rock!" Tang Mei said as she shook her head, "Nobody in Motian Realm knows where did this piece of rock come from, including all the former Emperor NvWa in Emperor NvWa's Palace. However, according to the legends of Emperor NvWa's Palace, this piece of magical rock contains the secrets of far-ancient deities, including the origin of the conflicts between humans and demons!"
"Oh, I see!" Zhang Tie got her point. When he thought about the secrets about the deities, he said out of curiosity, "Let me have a try then…"
Meanwhile, Zhang Tie injected a wisp of spiritual energy into the piece of magical rock. However, that wisp of powerful spiritual energy had been absorbed the moment it touched its surface just like a drop of water in a desert.
'Strange! Why!'
Noticing Zhang Tie's odd look, Tang Mei also tried to inject a wisp of spiritual energy into the piece of magical rock; however, her spiritual energy was also absorbed the moment it touched the surface of the piece of magical rock. She didn't get any feedback from the rock either.
Therefore, Tang Mei was also shocked.
Generally speaking, if an item contained some information, as long as one injected his spiritual energy inside it, one would be able to sense the information. It was as easy as reading the contents of a secret method from a piece of crystal. However, this piece of rock appeared to be special as it couldn't be activated by the two people's spiritual energy.
"Let me have another try…" Zhang Tie said as he pointed at his central forehead. Closely after that, another wisp of powerful spiritual energy shot into that piece of magical rock in terms of a streak of golden light from his central forehead.
This time, Zhang Tie felt that that piece of magical rock was indeed absorbing his spiritual energy as his spiritual energy gradually entered the piece of magical rock. The former two wisps of spiritual energy were too trivial to cause this piece of magical rock to make any response. Even though Zhang Tie input his spiritual energy into it with the highest power, it was still far from enough for this piece of magical rock.
Out of great curiosity, Zhang Tie clenched his teeth as he constantly inputted his spiritual energy into that piece of magical rock. Meanwhile, his central forehead was giving out brilliant, golden light. After inputting his spiritual energy into the piece of magical rock for about one hour with the largest "power", Zhang Tie's forehead had been oozing. When Zhang Tie felt running out of his spiritual energy, he heard a "boom…" from the piece of magical rock with a wave.
Closely after that, a piece of message entered Zhang Tie's mind sea, which suddenly blew up in Zhang Tie's mind sea like a seed, submerging Zhang Tie's complete awareness in strong light…
In an instant, numerous pieces of information poured in Zhang Tie's mind sea. Zhang Tie felt like losing everything, including his body and awareness. Meanwhile, he felt owning everything. Everything became nothing.
Millions of years later, a sparkle appeared in that nihility. Closely after that, the nihility exploded as galaxies and planets flew out of there like flames. Meanwhile, the entire nihility started to expand sharply.
Hundreds of millions of years later, a huge blue planet came into being in a violent explosion, which had two moons and was neither far from or close to the sun.
After another hundred of millions of years, a flock of odd living beings torn open the air and descended to this galaxy.
These odd living beings could travel between sun and the nihility. Their upper body was like that of humans; their lower body was like a snake. Their lower body was not tail, but a kind of magical foot. Only by swinging their tail, they could fly casually in the nihility and arrive everywhere. These powerful living beings could communicate with each other and survive on thoughts.
A strange brilliant pulp was gurgling out of the ground of that new huge blue planet which had unimaginably rich reiki and energy. Meanwhile, its aroma penetrated through the nihility. As a result, those strange living beings in this galaxy were all attracted by this special pulp as they all came to the ground of this planet to enjoy it.
However, after eating those pulp, those odd living beings with magical feet who could break the nihility casually lost their ability to leave this planet. As a result, they could only stay in the space of this planet.
However, they didn't want to lose this ability to break the nihility or they wanted to return to the previous world. Therefore, those odd living beings started to build an unimaginably magnificent pyramid-sized building on a magnetic pole of the planet.
However, before that building was completed, those odd living beings's bodies had started to change evidently.
Those odd living beings who came to this planet and ate the essence on the top of the pulp at the beginning started to turn into humans who were more handsome and beautiful than before. As for those who came here later, they gradually turned into ugly and terrifying reptiles like snakes.
Those ugly and terrifying living beings started to envy and hate those who were more beautiful than them. The two parties gradually broke out more and more conflicts and lacked communication. As a result, this species which once came from the same place and owned the same capacity divided into two groups due to the change of their external looks and became totally incompatible.
Finally the war between the ugly reptiles and the beatiful humans broke out before the great building being commonly built by two groups was completed.
That was a destructive war. Any individual of the two parties had overwhelming and destructive strength.
In that war, the great building being commonly built by the two parties was directly destroyed. When that great building collapsed, it overturned the entire planet. Even the magnetic poles of the entire planet were changed as its rotation axis which revolved around the sun started to tilt. As a result, many lands sunk into the ocean…
Flood, earthquake, tsunami and flames falling from the heavens submerged everything. At the fiercest place of the war, the space was directly shattered…
This war almost destroyed the entire planet; additionally, it brought great casualties to the two groups. Almost all the most powerful individuals of the two groups were exterminated. Some powerful individuals couldn't descend to this planet and this world due to various reasons…
Those who survived this war were the descendants of the two groups. When the ware broke out, their descendants couldn't join the war as they were too weak. Fortunately, they survived.
When their descendants grew up on this planet, this planet had been different than before. No pulp gurgled out of the ground anymore; neither the reiki on the planet was as plentiful as before. Additionally, their descendants couldn't fly in the air or move on the ground like before.
Later on, their descendants carried on their bodies and looks. Those whose parents were beautiful were still beautiful; those whose parents were ugly and terrifying were still ugly and terrifying. Additionally, they inherited the hostility and hatred between both parties. When both parties were ready for a war, a war would break out.
Ceaseless wars led to damages, destructions, death and loss. As a result, the civilization and population across the globe constantly deteriorated and degenerated…
The descendants of the two groups finally became humans and demons. Their ancestors were called human deities or demon deities…
…
"Brother, wake up…"
At this moment, his face felt a bit cold. When Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he found that he had just passed out and lain on the ground, face upwards; however, Tang Mei was just squatting beside him with great concern while patting his face with the water of Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring. Being lubricated by Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, the spiritual energy in Zhang Tie's mind sea was recovering rapidly. As a result, his mind which had just been blown up with prodigious information and images gradually recovered.
Zhang Tie's eyes became increasingly brighter. He then muttered with an increasingly louder voice, "I see… I see… I see…" Zhang Tie instantly sprung up as he raised his head and roared inside Heavens of Light, "I finally see…"
