Castle of Black Iron

Zhang Tie was enjoying the flight brought by his wind wings in the sky of Castle of Black Iron as fast as a lightning bolt. Even if Zhang Tie didn’t trigger his ability as a divine dominator, he could still easily reach 15 times the speed of sound in the sky with the assistance of his wind wings.

This speed of flight was amazing for a person who had just promoted to a heavenly knight.

The appearance of wind wings was a surprise for Zhang Tie. Previously, Zhang Tie didn’t imagine that he could get such a pair of bizarre wings after promoting to a heavenly knight by cultivating King Roc Sutra. After lighting his complete wind chakra, the moment his wind chakra started to run, a mysterious rune had blown up in Zhang Tie’s mind sea while numerous information poured in. Closely after that, Zhang Tie got hang of the usage of this pair of wind wings.

The pair of wind wings were the wings of king roc. After unfolding themselves, they became a pair of 40-m longer cyan wings on Zhang Tie’s back. With such a pair of wings, Zhang Tie was like a legendary winged angel in the air. The pair of wings were so cool that Zhang Tie felt being pushed forward by a manifested wind power from Elements Realm while flapping them. Only by flapping them casually, Zhang Tie could move far away. As a result, Zhang Tie flew as easily and freely as breathing in the sky.

Zhang Tie was flying at the highest altitude of Castle of Black Iron, where he could almost touch the invisible barrier which was like cotton candy. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie could see clearly everything on the ground by his lotus-flower eyes. However, the people on the ground couldn’t see him at all.

The colorful fog was right on Zhang Tie’s back. No kidding, Zhang Tie didn’t know what was the colorful fog even now; instead, he only felt that the colorful fog was special. Nor did Heller tell him about that. However, whenever the colorful fog started to roll, it meant that Castle of Black Iron could undergo another space and topographical expansion. It seemed that the colorful fog had endless magical power and could produce limitless land and space.

Below Zhang Tie was the land and ocean across Castle of Black Iron.

The land across Castle of Black iron was versant like a colorful drawing board, which had been completely covered with various plants and fertile soil.

Currently, the land area of Castle of Black Iron had already surpassed over 1 million square miles. Being densely covered with rivers, valleys, woods, waterfalls and fields, it was full of vitality everywhere.

Zhang Tie found that those people that he teleported into Castle of Black Iron at the beginning had already built a small city on the plain over 500 miles away from the Immortal Mountain.

The city was poetic and picturesque. All the buildings in the city were made of logs or stones, which displayed a natural and plain atmosphere everywhere. The city was surrounded by fertile land and woods. Groups of children were running and playing in the fertile land. Given their expressions, Zhang Tie could almost feel their sounds of joyful laughter.

In a mountain not far from the city, some people were lumbering; some youths were holding torches and entering a mountain cave, which led to the underground world of Castle of Black Iron. In the underground world, there was a myriad of karst caves, odd-looking stalactites, colorful shiny crystals and eye-opening underground plants. Apparently, the underground world of Castle of Black Iron had become an adventureland for young men.

Many people were holding a bizarre rite on a hill far away from that city.

Those priests in white tall hats were extolling the “creator” Zhang Tie, scepter in hand. They were followed by a 5,000 m-longer row of over 1,000 pious followers. Each of them carried a bag. As they chanted the “creator” after the priests one line after another, they kept sowing their plant seeds into the soil.

“God gifted us homeland…”

“God gifts us land…”

“God gifts us seeds…”

“God gifts us a bumper harvest…”

“Our reliable God gifts…”

“We pass this hill…”

“We pass this plain…”

“We pass the streamside and the riverside…”

“We don’t fear any difficulties, thistles or horns…”

“We follow God’s will…”

“We sow the hopeful seeds…”

“The grand land, you live up to the expectation of God…”

The passionate and longlasting song drifted into Zhang Tie’s ears from far away.

Although Zhang Tie had long heard about such a scene from Heller, it was his first time to witness it.

After so many years, the over 20,000 people that Zhang Tie teleported into Castle of Black Iron had already become 50,000.

Due to the leisure, stable life and the sufficient food in Castle of Black Iron, people who lived in here; especially those young couples would like to have more babies. Each family had at least 3-4 kids. Families with more than 5 kids could also be seen everywhere.

Like the land where they were born, those young men and kids were pretty vigorous. Besides being native, they were also guardians of this land. They gradually called themselves herdsmen of the earth. There were over 120,000 kinds of underground plants, 30,000 kinds of aquatic plants and hundreds of thousands of land plants. Over these years, residents had sowed their seeds to every corner and nook of the land of Castle of Black Iron.

Zhang Tie paid a tour inspection over the entire Castle of Black Iron in an extremely short period by flying over the land and the ocean with the help of his wind wings.

The scene in Castle of Black Iron brought Zhang Tie a strong sense of achievement.

After that, Zhang Tie attempted to fly by wind wings together with his flight ability as a divine dominator.

Without using his wind wings, Zhang Tie had already broken through 80 times the speed of sound in the air only by the flight ability of divine dominator, namely about 27,000 m per second. With his wind wings, Zhang Tie broke through 30,000 m per second as a divine dominator.

Such a super high speed meant that Zhang Tie could make a more destructive kinetic strike.

After circling around the Castle of Black Iron for a while, Zhang Tie became satisfied. He then folded his wind wings and returned to the palace tree along a mountain path with Heller.

“Castle Lord, how do you feel about Castle of Black Iron?” Heller asked Zhang Tie on the way back.

“Unimaginably vigorous!” Zhang Tie concluded briefly.

“Castle of Black Iron’s space and topography have not been renovated and upgraded for a long time. The basic energy storage, merit value and reiki value in Castle of Black Iron could afford a large-scale expansion!”

“Oh, really?” Zhang Tie asked as he took a look at Heller. Since Heller took in charge of these aspects of Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie didn’t even feel like checking anything on the basic attributes panel of Castle of Black Iron. No matter what, as long as Heller was there, everything would become pretty easy. “How large could Castle of Black Iron get through this expansion?”

“If the thickness of the earth shell remains unchanged, through this expansion, the total area of land and ocean of Castle of Black Iron could reach above 3 million square miles. All the ecological systems and species living environment in Castle of Black Iron could be further improved!”

“Wow, so large!” Zhang Tie was startled by Heller’s answer as he asked, “The basic energy storage is provided by the Elements Abyss. The reiki value could be constantly supplied by so many plants. But could my merit value support such a large-scale renovation?”

“Castle Lord, you must have not checked the basic attributes panel of Castle of Black Iron for long,” Heller said with a smile.

Zhang Tie answered in a bit bashful look, “Ahem…ahem…almost like that…”

“Castle Lord, you’d better check it yourself. Perhaps you could get some surprise!”

After hearing Heller’s words, Zhang Tie opened the basic attributes panel of Castle of Black Iron with suspicion.

In the panel, Zhang Tie found the basic energy storage and the reiki value were pretty enormous. What surprised him was that his merit values were also astronomical. When Zhang Tie watched it, the figure was still increasing like a running water meter as if it could be produced out of the void.

“What happened? How could I have such high merit values? Additionally, they’re still increasing constantly. But I didn’t do anything at this moment!” Zhang Tie asked Heller after a short silence.

“Castle Lord, do you remember those quality grains and mutated earthworms that you distributed to people so as to deal with the shortage of grains facing Taixia Country?”

“Of course, what about that?”

“The increasing merit values originate from those grain seeds and earthworms. They’re saving people’s lives!” Heller said seriously as he watched Zhang Tie, “In the beginning, those grain seeds were sowed in Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory and Ninghe Prefecture. After receiving a bumper harvest, Castle Lord distributed surplus grain seeds to the others; some of which were sold, but the greater part of which was sent to farmers in need for free through many channels as Castle Lord sympathized them…”

“Yeah, I know it. But aren’t those merit values disposable?”

“Because those grains being distributed are leading to bumper harvests constantly in wider areas and saving more and more people, it could be said that each grain contains Castle Lord’s merit. Therefore, as long as those grains that were distributed are reproductive, Castle Lord would gain merit values constantly. The principle of reproductive grains that Castle Lord has distributed leading to constant merit values also suits to earthworms. When Castle Lord released those earthworms, you didn’t even think about selling them at all. Now, those earthworms have been spread over Taixia Country; some of them were even introduced into other continents and subcontinents to fertilize the soil. Each grain that farmers get through those earthworms contains Castle Lord’s merit value…”

‘What the f*ck!’ Zhang Tie understood it at once. He had not imagined that his benevolent deed could bring him such constant benefits and profits…

“You mean…as long as I could create new things in Castle of Black Iron such as mutated grains and earthworms which could bring constant benefits to others for free, I would get merit values constantly?”

“Exactly!” Heller nodded as he added, “If Castle Lord sells something such as an all-purpose medicament, it’s essentially a trade. The others have paid you for that. Additionally, each vial of all-purpose medicament is disposable. Therefore, you couldn’t get merit value from selling it…”

“Ahh? If only you could warn me a bit earlier!”

Heller shook his head with a smile, saying, “It’s already out of ability. Some things could only be learned by Castle Lord yourself. If I told you in advance, Castle Lord would lose your innocence and benevolence; instead, you would become utilitarian and purposeful, which might not lead to as many as merit values as now…”

“Ahh? Merit values would vary from different means even for the same thing?”

“Indeed. I couldn’t explain the cause and effect either. However, as long as you’re benevolent, you will have a different result…”

Zhang Tie nodded seriously.

The automatic increase of merit values fixed the last shortage of Castle of Black Iron. From now on, Zhang Tie would not worry about the resources for expanding the space and topography of Castle of Black Iron anymore.

To a certain degree, Castle of Black Iron was becoming more and more perfect through another round of evolution.

In the early stage, the increase of all the basic resources had to depend on Zhang Tie. Now, with a solid foundation, Castle of Black Iron had become self-sufficient as it could accumulate enough basic resources for its expansion without Zhang Tie’s concern.

The significance for Castle of Black Iron to reach this step was definitely greater than that Zhang Tie promoted to a heavenly knight.

It was another surprise that Zhang Tie received today.

However, as Zhang Tie’s super lucky day, Zhang Tie’s surprises had not come to an end.

When he entered the palace tree, he was instantly attracted by the brilliant fruits on the small tree, which lit up the entire hall of the palace tree, making it a crystal palace. A strange fruit was hanging over there…
