Castle of Black Iron

When he watched the small tree in front of him, Zhang Tie felt ecstatic and indescribably delighted and satisfied like watching a close friend, a partner or a brother growing powerful. Zhang Tie felt happy with the small tree’s growth sincerely.

After taking so many fruits and receiving so many benefits from this small tree, Zhang Tie suddenly found that he could do something for the small tree. He was not purely asking for something from the small tree; he could also pay it off or return something to it. Such a feeling of satisfaction was much cooler than taking any fruit.

Even if there was no fruit on the small tree, Zhang Tie would also be happy about it; not to mention that an odd fruit was handing over there.

It was a fruit that Zhang Tie had never seen before. Like a huge golden pine cone, the fruit was giving out a golden light.

Over the past day, Zhang Tie witnessed sharp changes in the small tree. After drinking enough Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, Zhang Tie completely recovered from the aftermath of triggering Battle God Bloodline.

“Congratulations, Castle Lord, Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree has accomplished unusual growth after being watered with Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring!” Heller’s excited and pleasant voice sounded in Zhang Tie’s ears which drew Zhang Tie back to the reality from the feeling of satisfaction that he was immersed in.

Zhang Tie took a glance at Heller as he nodded silently. After that, he walked towards the small tree and ascended to the high platform where the small tree was step by step. When he came below the crown of the small tree, he looked up at the brilliant leaves and felt indescribably moved.

The small tree had grown bigger. Even the high platform and the lobby of Palace Tree became several times bigger. A large open area covering thousands of square meters had already appeared under the small tree’s crown. Meanwhile, light gradually came into being among the leaves of the small tree like crystal dew. After that, they fluttered down like feathers and melted with the earth below in a sacred, lofty and natural way.

When Zhang Tie approached the small tree, he found its leaves were quivering with euphonious rustles like plucking strings. The crystal light that came into being among those leaves then slowly fluttered down and melted on Zhang Tie’s body. In an instant, Zhang Tie felt pretty cool all over from inside. The rustles and the crystal light that fluttered down appeared to talk to Zhang Tie——Thank you!

The small tree was communicating with Zhang Tie. After the small tree experienced such important growth, it was Zhang Tie’s first time to sense that the small tree owned its thoughts.

All the living beings in the universe had their spirits, not to mention the small tree. Zhang Tie was not surprised about it at all.

“I should appreciate you!” Zhang Tie said with a smile as he opened his arms and embraced the small tree. Meanwhile, he put his face on the trunk. The 15-cm thick trunk had already become 3-m thick. Although Zhang Tie’s arms were not short, he could barely touch his fingers when he embraced the tree’s trunk.

At the same time, Zhang Tie received many messages.

——After being watered with Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree has already grown into Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree King.

——Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree King will own a greater ability to bear fruits.

——All the fruits of god’s runes that it bears will upgrade to epic level from master level.

——It could bear fruits concerning demon knights.

——In the energy field of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree King, you can figure out the truths with a 500% greater probability.

‘The small tree has grown into a tree king; no wonder Heller said it was “special growth”.’

Reading these messages, Zhang Tie couldn’t inhibit his ecstasy and excitement any longer. He started to guffaw under the tree. Meanwhile, he wondered about the function of that new fruit.

When he looked up along the trunk, Zhang Tie could only see the verdant tree shade of various shapes of leaves and the thick and big twigs. He didn’t see the entire tree and the golden fruit among leaves till he moved back more than 20 m.

Because of long-distance, Zhang Tie couldn’t touch the fruit by hand. Therefore, he touched that huge golden pine-cone like fruit with spiritual energy on behalf of his hand.

When his spiritual energy touched that fruit, Zhang Tie’s heart slightly trembled as he felt enormous energy of Realm of Emotions from inside the fruit. The energy was purer than that he absorbed to form his immortal chakra in his “dream”.

‘Was any connection between the small tree and the Realm of Emotions established after watering the small tree with Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring?’

Zhang Tie didn’t know. However, this fruit would definitely tell him the answer.

——Fruit of Achievement. The fruit has become ripe. Usage: Pick and direct eat it. Notice: The fruit cannot be taken out of the Castle of Black Iron. After twelve hours of having been picked off the tree, its energy and vitality will gradually decline.

——The brave and generous person, when you suffer hardships to acquire the immortal spring that only deities could drink and water Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree with the immortal spring, you’ve already pushed open the sacred gate of power with your generosity and intelligence. Those who bring achievements to others must acquire achievements from others. The one who gives is always happier than the one receives. This tree king’s fruit contains the tree’s appreciation for you. After taking it, you will enter the realm of immortal sage and form an immortal chakra.

——You deserve it!

Reading the introduction about this fruit, Zhang Tie was dumbstruck with astonishment. He had not imagined that he could form the first immortal chakra so easily as he was thinking about forming it through hardships.

Zhang Tie wiped out all the demons’ areas in Nine-Heavens Big Domain; precisely calculated the time when those time towers in the secret realms of the Mountain Ruins would be available again and made a trade with Force Emperor. He had mobilized all the resources that he could imagine only to form the first immortal chakra in 4 years and pass the most important difficulty since he promoted to a knight.

But now, he found he could easily promote to an immortal emperor and form the first immortal chakra only after taking this fruit.

All he did was to help the small tree grow up with Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring. The whole process was simple.

At this moment, watching the fruit of achievement, Zhang Tie suddenly understood the difference between smartness and intelligence.

Those smart ones just racked their minds to make full use of the available resources in order to reach their target. By contrast, the ultimate intelligence was actually the perception of the law of cause and effect. When there was a cause, there must be an effect…

Watching that fruit of achievement, Zhang Tie released his spiritual energy immediately. Closely after that, that fruit flew off the tree and fell in Zhang Tie’s hand.

After taking in a deep breath, Zhang Tie widely opened his mouth and gulped down the fruit of achievement as fast as possible…

In an instant, the vast ocean-like power of Realm of Emotions started to spread over Zhang Tie’s body…
