Castle of Black Iron

According to what Zhang Tie had been told in the airboat these days, undoubtedly, immortal emperor above supreme immortal general was the most powerful existence in this world.

Captain Shi couldn’t interpret how powerful was immortal emperor. However, there was one affirmative point that immortal emperor was indeed a cultivator above sage-level knight or supreme immortal general in this world.

Because of this new discovery, Zhang Tie had been spirited for a few days.

In the former world, sage-level knights were already the highest class in cultivation base; unimaginably, in this bizarre Motian Realm, Zhang Tie knew a higher-level cultivator above sage-level knight. Therefore, he became spirited again like a wild wolf who had found its prey. At this moment, Zhang Tie had made a decision to promote to an immortal emperor.

If he wanted to return to Taixia Country and meet his beloved ones, instead of dying in this world full of regret and unwillingness like a prisoner being exiled or in a cell, Zhang Tie had to promote to an immortal emperor so as to be the most powerful one.

Although he might not go back after promoting to an immortal emperor, undoubtedly, facing the same dilemma and problem, the more powerful he was, the more possible it would be for him tackle them.

Suppose he had 1/100 possibility to go back to Taixia Country based on his current situation, if he could raise the possibility to 2/100 after becoming an immortal emperor, Zhang Tie would exert his full efforts for this trivial hope.

Motian Realm was not peaceful either. Conversely, this world was also filled with wars and killings, which was far greater than that in the former world.

In this world, humans fought demons too. The war between humans and demons had been lasting for millions of years incessantly too, even longer. According to Captain Shi, since the birth of Motian Realm, humans and demons had been fighting each other. As for the origin of Motian Realm, Captain Shi didn’t know it either. As it was too far away, it gradually evolved into bizarre myths and legends.

Besides immortal (human) general and demon general, fighters between LV 10 and LV 15 were called immortal human soldiers and demon soldiers.

Besides the incessant war between humans and demons, it was also very chaotic inside the human world. It was common to see fights between immortal generals and between human forces. The major reason for the battles between immortal generals was for merging and plundering population. So was it between humans and demons.

Yes, in this world, population counted most as the most precious resource. Humans and demons were both scrambling for merging and plundering the opposite population.

When Zhang Tie heard this on the airboat, he was shocked too much. In his opinion, demons just wanted to wipe out all the humans. However, in Motian Realm, demons were for plundering human population.

Not knowing whether it was because of the rich aura or something else in Motian Realm, all the newborns here had already lit their shrine surging point and all the surging points on their spines. In other words, all the people in Motian Realm came to this world as LV 9 fighters, which indicated their strong physical strength. Of course, they didn’t feel they were strong; because all of them were born to be the same. Only when they started to cultivate did they admit that they were growing stronger.

In the mother nature, the stronger the individuals were, the fewer they would be and the stricter conditions they would face in reproduction. Conversely, the weaker the individuals were, the more they would be and the simpler conditions they would face in reproduction. The universal law was always fair even in Motian Realm.

In Motian Realm, people were born to be strong. Even commoners could live longer than 120 years. Whereas, it was not easy for people to deliver babies here. In this world, a couple or a woman could only deliver twice in their whole lives. Few people could only deliver once or thrice at most. However, people would die in war; therefore, the population in Motian Realm couldn’t realize a sharp increase. In this world, a city with over 1 million people could be called a medium-sized city; by contrast, in Taixia Country, medium-sized cities always contained more than 10 million people; metro cities always contained over 100 million people.

The population was a rare resource in Motian Realm; therefore immortal generals were major participants of battles in this world.

Immortal soldiers and commoners below immortal generals were barely involved in battles. The results of battles between immortal generals and demon generals determined everything. Immortal soldiers and demon soldiers were just lackeys of immortal generals and demon generals. When immortal generals won, immortal soldiers won; when immortal general failed, immortal soldiers failed. Immortal soldiers or demon soldiers were mainly responsible for doing something that immortal generals or demon generals didn’t feel convenient to do such as plundering population and occupying territory.

However, Zhang Tie didn’t understand why so many knights or immortal generals in this world were fighting only for plundering population even if the population was a rare resource in this world.

The answer to this question startled Zhang Tie a lot.

Immortal generals plundered population for exchanging them with element crystals or secret methods in immortal palaces. In Motian Realm, all the element crystals were monopolized by immortal palaces. If immortal generals didn’t want to capture those element crystals in the Elements Realm slowly, they had to exchange for element crystals in immortal palaces. Some clans or forces would also exchange population for secret methods and classics in immortal palaces so as to enhance their positions in the society.

In this world, there were an astonishing amount of secret classics and methods.

Take the simplest example, in Taixia Country, only imperial households could master the skill to manufacture airboat using air-floating gold; however, in Motian Realm, people could exchange population for this skill in immortal palaces. A clan or immortal general could exchange 500,000 people for the skill of extracting air-floating gold and making airboat using air-floating gold.

Whereas, in this world, all the immortal palaces were founded by supreme immortal generals. Not knowing why, each fire immortal general would start to establish their own immortal palace and belief soon after promoting to a supreme immortal general. By contrast, those population being exchanged with element crystals or resources became the immortal assistants and followers of the immortal palaces…

Zhang Tie gloomily felt it was something special behind the immortal palaces and believes of supreme immortal generals in this world.
