Castle of Black Iron

A tower of time, surrounded by gold mountain ranges at the bottom of a magma sea, was pretty alluring for any knight.

Additionally, given the height and size of this tower of time, even though Zhang Tie was not an expert in the tower of time, he had known that this tower of time was unusual.

Whether a tower of time was precious or not could be judged by its size. The larger a tower of time was, the more functions it would have and the more precious it would be. This was once told by Charles, the No. 1 knight of Ramland Empire and a friend of Zhang Tie.

Among Zhang Tie’s friends, Charles was an expert in studying tower of time who was very familiar with all kinds of knowledge about the tower of time. Pitifully, Charles had not experienced it in the tower of time. Additionally, before Waii Subcontinent was fully collapsed by demons, Charles had already escorted the imperial households of Ramland Empire to the Western Continent. From then on, Zhang Tie had lost contact with him. Zhang Tie even failed to see that cute and enchanting princess Candis of Ramland Empire from then on.

The current situation of the holy war changed many people’s fates.

Because of this tower of time, the bygones between him and Ramland Empire flashed by Zhang Tie’s mind.

However, in the blink of an eye, under the guidance of Yan Feiqing, Zhang Tie had already come to the entrance of that huge pyramid with her. After leaving the magma sea, they stood on the crystal steps of the tower of time.

It was a huge crystal gate being covered with numerous flowing runes in front of Zhang Tie. Because of the mysterious power possessed by this tower of time, the magma stayed 2 m away from the tower of time automatically, causing a 2-m wide vacuum belt between this tower of time and the magma. The magma just flew around this pyramid in a clock-wise manner…

Standing in front of the crystal gate of the tower of time, Zhang Tie clicked the tongue in wonder about the brightly red magma 2 m away, the heavenly curtain of flowing magma and the golden mountain ranges in the far. Additionally, Zhang Tie found that Yan Feiqing looked pretty sophisticated while her emotions were changing heavily which could be seen from her eyes. It seemed that she was in pain, a bit hesitated and finally became decisive…

‘Does this woman have a story here?’

Zhang Tie muttered inside.

Referring to the time when Yan Feiqing promoted to a black iron knight, evidently, it was not her first time to be here. Therefore, it was normal for her to have a story here. Based on Zhang Tie’s experience, it must be a man that made her emotions so complex at this moment…

“I’m weak. You can push open the gate…” Yan Feiqing’s facial expression changed for a short while before she sighed with emotion and told Zhang Tie while watching the 20-m high gate of the tower of time in front of them.

“You’ve been here before?” Zhang Tie asked as he put his hand onto the crystal gate of the tower of time.

“Just push it open…” Yan Feiqing accented her voice distantly after hearing Zhang Tie’s question although being weak, “As you’ve saved my life, I owe you. Given the look of this tower of time, you could at least cultivate 50 years inside, during which period, you could easily promote to a shadow knight. After leaving this tower, your reputation of Qianji Hermit would be more famous. Additionally, there’s something special inside this tower. It’s not only a tower of time, but it also contains something else. During the 5 decades, you could promote to an advanced profession inside…”

Yan Feiqing’s words contained too much knowledge. Given her words, she might not have used this tower of time yet; therefore, she was not sure how many years could people cultivate inside. However, the fact that she was very familiar with this place was out of Zhang Tie’s imagination. What was more amazing was that this tower of time could help people promote to an advanced profession. According to Charles’ description, this tower of time was the most precious one…

“You’ve recognized my identity?”

“I’ve grasped a secret method. As long as I saw someone once, I would be able to identify him no matter how much he disguised himself in front of me. I’ve already known that it was you the moment you showed up in Xiangshan City…”

‘What a secret method!’ Zhang Tie shook his head as he forcefully pushed open the gate of the tower of time.

The gate of the tower of time was very heavy. Ordinary knights might have to exert their full effort to open it. However, Zhang Tie could easily open it slowly only by putting one hand on it.

As the gate was opened, a milky-white light with strong energy leaked out of the gate. Zhang Tie felt like opening a huge treasury as the qi inside the tower of time was both familiar and strange to him. Therefore, Zhang Tie became a bit thrilled.

Watching the gate of the tower of time to open, Yan Feiqing kept her eyes close on Zhang Tie. After opening the gate, Zhang Tie didn’t rush into it although being a bit thrilled; instead, he turned around and asked Yan Feiqing, “Could this tower of time allow two people to enter at the same time? If only one person is allowed to access it, you can go in. After 50 years, you might have already promoted to a heavenly knight. Don’t worry about me. I have my trump card to leave out of here even though the heavenly demon knight is still outside there!”

“If only one person is allowed in, don’t you feel like having a try facing such a rare chance? How could you decline such a rare chance…” Yan Feiqing’s facial expression turned complex as she looked at Zhang Tie and asked him such a strange question.

Now that Yan Feiqing had already known his identity, Zhang Tie directly took off his helmet and exposed his original look. At the same time, he threw the helmet into his portable space-teleportation equipment.

After hearing Yan Feiqing’s question, Zhang Tie revealed a frank smile as he shook his head, “Although the tower of time is precious, I don’t need to scramble for it with a woman. Additionally, you need a tower of time more than me for treatment and cultivation…”

The tower of time might be precious for others; however, it was just so-so for Zhang Tie; especially after grasping purgatory samsara method, Zhang Tie really didn’t feel that the tower of time was something on purely forming chakra.

Yan Feiqing seemingly wanted to see some hypocrisy and lies from Zhang Tie’s face; however, she only saw frankness and brightness…
