Castle of Black Iron

“I have no idea. Just now, when a wave spread over here from the Elements Realm, the sky turned cyan. Then, it started to look like this…” Leng Manxue answered Zhang Tie which sounded full of shock.

“General Manager Wu?” Zhang Tie fixated onto Wu Qiankun as he looked around as if he was looking for the safes that Wu Qiankun usually came here with.

“I’m not here with goods, Your Majesty. I have something to negotiate with you, Your Majesty. I didn’t know that you’re in secluded cultivation. When I was going to leave here, I encountered this abnormal phenomenon…” Wu Qiankun hurriedly grabbed the opportunity to talk with Zhang Tie. Meanwhile, he threw a glance at the abnormal phenomenon in the sky.

“Oh? Go ahead, general manager.”

“It’s about the medicament that you gifted me a few days ago, Your Majesty…”

“We could talk about it later. Given the abnormal phenomenon, I wonder whether a major event is going to happen in Motian Realm…” Zhang Tie said as he gazed at the sky with a solemn look.

Wu Qiankun nodded silently. Compared to what was happening, he felt bashful to disturb Zhang Tie for the sake of medicament.

Everyone was watching the abnormal phenomenon in the sky.

Right then, the shock wave from Elements Realm became more powerful as the aurora-like brilliant feathers in the sky started to restrain like how a roc extended its feathers.

Everyone on the ground was holding their breath.

In the blink of an eye, the feathers in the sky had unfolded as the 600 miles long air zone changed its color. Those feathers were moving spirally with numerous flowing light. In a split second, cyan wind elements formed visible huge wind pillars which covered the sky. The feathers’ moving speed was out of everyone’s imagination. After restraining and unfolding a few times, the thousands of miles long feathers had already been moving spirally around the wind pillars and turning smaller rapidly as if they took it as steps towards the heavens. Closely after that, a roc like a rising hot sun appeared in the sky, which burned up and turned into cyan flowing flames. They then fell off the sky in terms of a meteor shower. Spreading over the sky, its brilliance and magnificence couldn’t be described in words.

The wave of element tide in Elements Realm also reached its apex at this moment. Gradually, they started to fall off the apex by batches.

The entire process lasted more than half an hour.

The moment the abnormal phenomenon disappeared, the entire Forbidden City was in an uproar. The seven elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace landed in front of Zhang Tie at a stroke.

Compared to Leng Manxue and Wu Qianku who were confused and shocked, the seven elders looked special. After exchanging a glance with each other, Luo Yunshang the former president of Earth-Treasures Department opened her mouth, “Your Majesty…”.

“I know. Let’s go to discuss it in Yangxin Palace; instead of Dragon Emperor Palace…” Zhang Tie shook his arm as he looked at Wu Qianku, saying, “General manager, if you’re not busy, you could take a short rest in the Westcold Pavilion, I will talk about the medicament with you after handling something with the elders!”

“Okay, take your time, Your Majesty!” Wu Qiangku hurriedly said as he bowed his body.

…

One minute later, Zhang Tie and the seven elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were already sitting in Yangxin Palace. Zhang Tie was in the main seat while the others were sitting on two sides with full sorrows and solemn looks.

The gate of Yangxin Palace had been closed while being guarded by some immortal generals outside.

After glancing over the elders, Zhang Tie opened his mouth, saying, “As you’ve seen the world, do you know what do the weird wave in Elements Realm and the abnormal phenomenon in the Elements Realm mean?”

“We think it symbolizes the manifestation of an immortal secret cultivation method. In Motian Realm, someone is cultivating an immortal secret cultivation method and has already promoted to an immortal general…” Luo Yunshang opened her mouth after being silent for a second. After hearing her explanation, all the other 6 elders nodded.

“Immortal secret cultivation method? What’s that?” Although Zhang Tie had already guessed what was an immortal secret cultivation method, Zhang Tie still pretended to be muddle-headed.

“Your Majesty, didn’t Grand Dragon Emperor talk about immortal secret cultivation method with you?” Xia Yangming asked as he took a look at Zhang Tie out of curiosity.

“During those years when I was on the old man’s side, besides having me cultivate, the old man rarely talked about the affairs in Motian Realm. He even just mentioned a few words about Dagon Emperor Immortal Palace…” Zhang Tie sighed as he looked a bit nostalgic.

“Ohhh!” The 7 elders nodded at the same time as they were firmly convinced by Zhang Tie’s words.

“Immortal secret cultivation method is a legendary secret cultivation method through which people could reach the supreme realm of far-ancient deities. Such an immortal secret cultivation method has not appeared in Motian Realm yet; despite it was said to be in Motian Realm. We heard about it from Grand Dragon Emperor occasionally…” Luo Yunshang replied.

“Really? What did the old man say?” Zhang Tie instantly became interested in it for real.

“Grand Dragon Emperor said that he once saw a record about immortal secret cultivation method in a place of Mountain Ruins. It’s said that when one forms a chakra using an immortal secret cultivation method, he would arouse an enormous abnormal astronomical phenomenon. The most remarkable symbol was that the elements in Elements Realm would go berserk as billows in the ocean. On that occasion, all the other immortal generals’ consciousness would be pushed out of the Elements Realm; nor could they continue their cultivation using Elements Realm for the time being. What happened just now was similar to that…” Shi Zhongyu said in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Tie took in a deep breath as he turned pretty solemn at once. Slightly inclining forward, Zhang Tie squinted his eyes, saying, “You mean someone has already acquired an immortal secret cultivation method and promoted to an immortal general by forming a chakra…”

“Maybe a demon has acquired it. If so, I’m afraid that all the humans in Motian Realm would encounter a catastrophe!” Long Jiutian said with a sad look.

“The one who could acquire an immortal secret cultivation method must be something. Grand Dragon Emperor revealed that the core of Mountain Ruins was the only place which might hold immortal secret cultivation methods, precisely, two. However, over so many years, even immortal emperors or demon emperors have not discovered any immortal secret cultivation method in Mountain Ruins…”

Ying Gucheng unveiled extremely critical information to Zhang Tie…
