Castle of Black Iron

When the last geometric patterns of the 189th scale of Zhang Tie’s wind chakra were lit, the long-awaited familiar feeling came to Zhang Tie again.

A wholly new green feather-shaped seed rune of King Roc Sutra flew out of Zhang Tie’s chest, namely the core region of his chakras. After breaking Zhang Tie’s scalp, it suspended above Zhang Tie’s head while giving out brilliant light, covering Zhang Tie as a whole.

Under the brilliance of this marvelous rune, all the surging points over Zhang Tie resonated again while each surging point gave out strong light. At the same time, bizarre runes flew out of Zhang Tie’s surging points one after another. Zhang Tie then felt being surrounded by stars.

Zhang Tie had experienced the following scene for many times——the battle qi in his qi sea started to surge like a tide. At the same time, battle qi started to pour out of his surging points as a whole, which looked like wells at the seaside. After that, the spiritual energy in his mind sea flew off his central forehead like a waterfall and poured into his surging points as a whole in a split second. They combined with his battle qi and turned into bizarre energy, which lubricated his surging points a whole and brought new changes to his surging points all over.

The changes facing his surging points appeared to be opening a marvelous door for him as four elements in the elements realm started to appear out of void beside Zhang Tie before pouring into the star-studded runes, making them more brilliant. Each rune was corresponding to a surging point. Only after a short while, battle qi, spiritual energy, four elements and those runes flying out of surging points had wrapped Zhang Tie like a huge egg.

In the huge egg, all the cells, organs and the 987 surging points, the void above his mind sea and qi sea were growing “modestly”.

This was the amazing feather of an emperor-level secret method.

The “modest” state was named by Zhang Tie himself. To be honest, he didn’t know how to describe that state. He just felt his body was wholly new in that state. Everything was a new start but not like that. When he recalled the old Hua saying——being proud we would suffer a loss; being modest we would benefit ourselves. Zhang Tie named this state as “modest” as modesty helped people to make progress and pride made people lag behind. Undoubtedly, Zhang Tie would make great progress in each “modest” state.

After almost 10 hours, Zhang Tie finished “hatching” himself as the huge egg shattered and disappeared in the form of light rain. Zhang Tie didn’t open his eyes at once; instead, he slowly sensed the endless wholly new strength and the wind chakra in his body. After realizing that he could light about 7 scales after assimilating all the wind elements of red and blue devils, Zhang Tie felt pretty satisfied as he opened his eyes with a smile.

Zhang Tie was now in his room Apricot Blossom Courtyard that he bought on the riverside of Flowingblossom River in Apricot Blossom Village.

Compared to that of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin, Zhang Tie’s room was evidently cruder. In his room, there was no decoration of flowers and grasses; instead, there was a huge pyramid-shaped metal frame between the floor and the beams in his room. The huge metal frame just covered the room like a huge pot cover, being connected with many odd-looking rune metal plates and grids over the floor and walls, making it a post-modern cage full of masculinity. It was far from being aesthetic. However, its sound-isolation effect was much greater than that of Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin.

After settling in this courtyard for six days, Zhang Tie finally silently promoted to the five change realm of shadow knight today.

In the stage of shadow knight, he reached two changes higher within one month, which accounted for 1/5 of the total process of this stage. Such a speed would startle a lot of people if it was exposed to the public.

After cleansing himself in his room and dressing himself up, Zhang Tie came to the front of the door and opened it. He was then shocked by the beautiful scene again…

It was still dark outside; except for a faint orange color in the eastern skyline. The fields surrounding the courtyard was full of croaking frogs and twitters of insects. Besides, he heard a gurgling stream of the Flowingblossom River. Meanwhile, he heavily inhaled the fresh and spiritual aura in the air.

These days, although there was no battle in the city, Zhang Tie had heard a lot of hidden contests as he became clearer about the things in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Zhang Tie would know some things even if he didn’t want to know at all. The contraditions between the five elders and the two grand justices had been exposed to the public in the city. Zhang Tie could easily learn it only by traveling across Flyingdragon Village spiritually every day whenever he was free like an onlooker in a teahouse listened to others’s private chats in their private rooms; even something that he shouldn’t know.

More batches of immortal generals settled in Flyingdragon Village these days. With their arrival, lobbyists came to Flyingdragon Village one after another. Three batches of lobbyists had already paid a visit to Huang Baimei. Without exception, all of them were refused.

There were totally 11 villages like Flyingdragon Village, all of which were crowded with new immortal generals who had just joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and evacuated from Nine Heavens Big Domain and the others domains. Most of these immortal generals were like new members of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. The total population of new immortal generals who joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was 1247, including 1047 fierce immortal generals, 187 earth immortal generals and 13 water immortal generals. Zhang Tie was one of the 13 water immortal generals.

The 1247 new immortal generals had become the fat that all the five elders and two grand justices would like to take.

However, because of the special administrative system of the immortal palace, all the new immortal generals would be affiliated to their own branch head. Namely, branch heads influenced their subordinates pretty much. As a result, the seven powers focused on drawing in those branch heads…

When the hidden forces in the city were surging fiercely these days, Zhang Tie leisurely promoted to five change realm of shadow knight in the courtyard beside farmland in Apricot Blossom Village…
