Castle of Black Iron

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

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

Unless being blind, everyone knew that they were evolving.

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

“Didn’t Great Wilderness know that the two snakes…erm, gold sage and silver sage could evolve themselves…”

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

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

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

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

“That’s weird. Is there any mysterious energy and gene of your ancestral bloodline in your blood…”

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

‘Is…is that because of King Roc Sutra …’

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

‘What does that mean?’

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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