Castle of Black Iron

‘Is it the legendary Buzhou Mountain?’

When Zhang Tie watched the core of Mountain Ruins being covered with the black mist of the broken space, his shock and odd whims couldn’t be understood by others.

The legend about Buzhou Mountain had been spread among Hua people for thousands of years; however, Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could really see such a legendary relic in the age of deities.

Mountain Ruins was the relics of Buzhou Mountain!

It was a secret that Zhang Tie had known in Emperor NvWa’s Palace lately. Across the Motian Realm, only Emperor NvWa’s Palace preserved the complete history of hundreds of millions of years and could enable Zhang Tie to know the truth about Mountain Ruins.

All the floating mountains across Motian Realm were actually the broken pieces of Mountain Ruins, also Buzhou Mountain.

The legendary Buzhou Mountain among Hua people was a tunnel connecting the Mortal Realm with Immortal Realm. However, this tunnel was destroyed in the war between deities.

Zhang Tie had heard about the legend of Buzhou Mountain from his dad in Blackhot City at the beginning. After hearing this story, Zhang Tie wondered why that mountain was called “Buzhou”.

As of now, Zhang Tie finally understood that the so-called “Buzhou” meant incomplete. Given its name, Zhang Tie knew that the so-called Buzhou Mountain was an incomplete mountain. Natural Mountains shouldn’t be incomplete as everything of natural mountains was created and gifted by the mother nature. Only when one mountain was built by a non-natural force out of a purpose and was not completed could it be called “Buzhou”. Actually, the mountain was just its pictographic meaning, which meant that it was as lofty and magnificent as a mountain. It was a feature of the word-formation skills of ancient Hua People.

Similar legends could also be discovered in the western world——the legend about Babel.

Babel was also called Heavens-Reaching Tower. According to the legend, Babel was also the bridge connecting the Mortal Realm with the paradise.

Finally, Babel was not completed either because it was destroyed in the contradictions between builders.

After comparing Babel Tower and Buzhou Mountain, Zhang Tie found that Babel Tower in western legend probably was Buzhou Mountain. It was the common memory between eastern civilization and western civilization. Finally, it was deduced in different words and legends. However, the core of the two legends was consistent.

However, Motian Realm was not the “Immortal Realm” that Buzhou Mountain was designed to reach; instead, it was only a space that expanded itself being attached to the powerful energy field of Buzhou Mountain and a base which was used to support the construction of Buzhou Mountain. In the beginning, Motian Realm was connected to the world where Zhang Tie came from. However, the collapse of the Buzhou Mountain destroyed everything. Besides cutting off the connection between the two worlds, it also caused irreparable damage to Motian Realm.

According to Tang Mei, the secret about the reason for the wars between deities and between humans and demons was in the core region of Buzhou Mountain. In the most dangerous place of the core region, besides the space ball of Motian Realm, there was also a secret item that recorded the secrets about deities. As for the details, even Tang Mei didn’t know about it; because the history of that item was far longer than that of Motian Realm.

Zhang Tie looked determined. After traversing thousands of miles, he finally targeted at the highest place of the blurry building in the core region of Mountain Ruins.

Even though there was no space ball and he couldn’t integrate Motian Realm with Castle of Black Iron, now that he had known the existence of that item, he must take a look over there no matter what…

“Mountain Ruins is going to open…”

Soon after Zhang Tie came here, someone among human immortal generals had suddenly shouted.

Closely after that immortal general’s shout, the highest place of the blurry building in the core region of Mountain Ruins suddenly sparkled brilliantly. Closely after that, the sparkle enlarged and appeared above the top of the core region of Mountain Ruins like a hot sun. Meanwhile, the entire core region of Mountain Ruins started to rock while the mist that covered Mountain Ruins gradually dispersed, revealing the original look of the core region of Mountain Ruins.

The strong rock and wave spread over the surrounding air zone from the core region of Mountain Ruins like ripples in water and cleaned all the clouds in the air zone. Even though Zhang Tie and the other human immortal generals were thousands of miles away from there, they could also sense the strong wave from the core region of Mountain Ruins.

After the heavy rock and wave, the entire core region of Mountain Ruins which was like being stuck in the broken hole of space appeared to be pushed towards Motian Realm by a great force and completely appeared in the space of Motian Realm. However, with the move of the core region of Mountain Ruins, the broken hole of space being blocked by the core region of Mountain Ruins instantly released hundreds of millions of blue or red meteors from above Mountain Ruins like turning on a water faucet. Closely after that, those meteors rolled down towards all directions, submerging the air zone of thousands of miles in the vicinity of the core region of Mountain Ruins.

They were ice and fire heavenly winds as same as those at the bottom of Mountain Ruins. At the speed of over 600,000 miles per hour, their power became more terrifying as they could easily penetrate through supreme-level immortal general’s protective battle qi. Of course, they could last less time than those at the bottom of Mountain Ruins.

The ice and fire heavenly winds that flew off the top of the highest building in the core region of Mountain Ruins could reach 60 miles away ahead of Zhang Tie in the furthest distance.

That was why so many immortal generals were waiting here; instead of rushing into the neighborhood of Mountain Ruins.

A few minutes later, those ice and fire heavenly winds that sprayed over the core region of Mountain Ruins had vanished. Closely after that, bizarre tens of thousands of miles-long rainbow crossed the top of the core region of Mountain Ruins, revealing the entire core region of Mountain Ruins to the public completely under the cover of a looming golden light.

In Zhang Tie’s eyes, the core region of Mountain Ruins was more like the tip of a damaged huge pyramid. Although the tip of the huge pyramid had lost its edges and smoothness on the surface, Zhang Tie could still clearly identify that the core region was similar to a pyramid from all sides.

‘Is Buzhou Mountain’s overall look a huge pyramid? Because this pyramid has not been completed and lacks a couple of corners, it’s called “Buzhou”, which means incomplete…’

Zhang Tie realized it at once.

After the core region of Mountain Ruins was completely exposed, many human immortal generals started to pant. Many people could barely move their eyes away from Mountain Ruins thousands of miles away. However, nobody moved; instead, they all fixated onto Force Emperor and Zhang Tie.

At this moment, the most powerful one would fly towards the Mountain Ruins first just like that the most powerful and dignified one at the table would nip dish by chopsticks first.

“Your Majesty Dragon Emperor, please!” Force Emperor made a hand gesture to invite Zhang Tie with a generous smile.

“Please!” Zhang Tie didn’t decline at this moment. He instantly flew towards the core region of Mountain Ruins first.

Watching Zhang Tie flying away, Force Emperor also followed him towards the core region of Mountain Ruins, closely after the other immortal generals.

In the periphery of the core region of Mountain Ruins, there were some smaller mountain ranges and mountain peaks. Although they were not as large as the core region of Mountain Ruins, they were greater in quantity and occupied a larger air zone. Immortal generals under supreme immortal generals could enter the periphery of the core region of Mountain Ruins. If they were fortunate, they could also acquire some immortal outfits or other rarities over there.

When Zhang Tie started to move, he didn’t reach his highest speed. Neither did Force Emperor. In less than one hour, they had arrived at the periphery of the core region of Mountain Ruins.

There were many relics of damaged palaces and buildings and many looming space cracks giving out odd light over those mountain ranges in the periphery of the core region of Mountain Ruins. Many wind immortal generals and fire immortal generals didn’t fly ahead any more when they arrived in this region. They then started to scatter and look for their own lucky chances…

Only Zhang Tie, Force Emperor and some supreme immortal generals continued to fly ahead.

Between the periphery of the core region of Mountain Ruins and its core region, there was a golden light curtain which was cascading from the highest place of the core region of Mountain Ruins like a waterfall, isolating the core region of Mountain Ruins from its periphery…

The light curtain carried a force that was similar to that of the realm. Just like a filter, it was only accessible to supreme immortal generals and those above.

After penetrating through the light curtain, Zhang Tie and Force Emperor almost entered the core region of Mountain Ruins at the same time.

“Watch out…”

Zhang Tie suddenly heard Force Emperor’s force.

Zhang Tie had already discovered that a 3-m higher fiery human-faced snake was darting towards him like a sharp bolt with two long swords in its hands the moment it entered the light curtain. Being covered with runes all over, it was giving out a bizarre metallic luster. Its upper body was similar to that of humans; its lower part was similar to a snake.

This metallic human-shaped snake was a guard of the core region of Mountain Ruins, a deities’ battle puppet whose battle force could match that of supreme immortal generals…

Bang… Infinite Immortal Prison had already appeared in Zhang Tie’s hand and turned into a huge 10 m longer black mallet. Before that deities’ battle puppet approached him, Zhang Tie had already flown over there. With one strike, that deities’ battle puppet had been broken into two halves and sent flying tens of thousands of meters away.

Zhang Tie became temporarily stunned. He didn’t use his full strength. However, his strike could never be resisted by ordinary supreme immortal generals. Previously, he thought that he could break the deities’ battle puppet into pieces with one strike; unexpectedly, he only broke it into two halves.

The body of deities’ battle puppet was really unimaginably hard…
