Castle of Black Iron

Besides being snow-white within hundreds of miles after a few days of heavy snow, Dragon Emperor City didn’t change too much. It just appeared to be much more tranquil than before.

On the way here from the wilderness, Zhang Tie found that the mountains in the wild had been covered with 60 cm high snow.

It took Zhang Tie 8 days to come back.

Zhang Tie felt it should be January 18th, the 3585th year of Calendar of Emperor NvWa…

On January 15th, Zhang Tie took a lot of fruits of redemption in Castle of Black Iron, more than ten of them came from the gratitude of golden uangs. Zhang Tie’s resilience, resistance and viability in extreme environments improved gradually. In Taixia Country, Paul was still setting free earthworms, golden uangs, gulf shrimps and hairy shells for him, steadily causing fruits of redemption from the gratitutde of these animals one after another.

Zhang Tie already had a middle-level recovery body. He really wondered about the effect when he promoted to an advanced recovery body. Of course, he also wanted to see what other surprises could the small tree bring him after eating up all the fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs.

In the past months, Zhang Tie had already taken over 1680 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs. With 100 more, he would meet the upper limit of the number of this kind of fruit. By then, Zhang Tie was sure that he would realize a qualitive change just like how he acquired the preliminary recovery body after eating up all the fruits of redemption from the gratitude of earth worms.

Zhang Tie felt the qualitive change brought by golden uangs must be related to strength. As for the details, he didn’t know it either.

Therefore, Zhang Tie craved for it pretty much.

After killing the heavenly shadow demon knight, Zhang Tie didn’t gain any fruit from the small tree. It seemed that demons in this world were following the same rule with those demons in the world where he came from. Although Zhang Tie didn’t gain any new fruit, it indicated that this world was somewhat related to the world where he came from. As a result, Zhang Tie was more confident that he could go back home.

After promoting to six change realm of shadow demon and taking a lot of fruits of redemption, Zhang Tie improved his overall strength greatly again within a few days. Of course, he was pretty thrilled as he went all the way back to Dragon Emperor City as if he was traveling.

There was one thing that Zhang Tie was not used to most, namely the limit of using his space-teleportation equipment——he could only access to Castle of Black Iron for two days in one month here.

Thankfully, the law of strength in Motian Realm was equal to all the knights. Even immortal emperors didn’t have a privilege to access to space-teleportation items whenever they wanted. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt a bit better.

Dragon Emperor City was indeed a bit different than that a few days ago. At least some more teams of immortal generals were patrolling in the sky. Additionally, Zhang Tie saw many officers and soldiers patrolling on the ground even in the heavy snow. Therefore, the moment Zhang Tie arrived at the periphery of Dragon Emperor City, he had been noticed by a team of patrolling immortal generals.

The team of immortal generals instantly flew towards Zhang Tie as if they wanted to check him. When they were 1,000 m away, one of them suddenly recognized Zhang Tie as he exclaimed, “Zhang Tie…”

After hearing that, all the others of the team were shocked as they all stopped and fixated onto Zhang Tie.

“Inform the five elders and the two grand justices. Tell them to see me in Dragon Emperor Pavilion in one hour…”

If Zhang Tie said the same words the other day, he might be taken as a lunatic. However, at this moment, he spoke it calmly which sounded pretty dignified even if he didn’t put any air or speak it loudly.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, the team leader turned around and left some words to the others while the greater part of the team hurriedly flew towards the Dragon Emperor City. Only that team leader and the one who recognized Zhang Tie just now continued to fly towards Zhang Tie.

“We will escort…keep…keep…Your Majesty company…”

The whiskered team leader bowed towards Zhang Tie with reverence. He didn’t know how to call Zhang Tie for the time being. Even though, he finally called him Your Majesty with a flush.

That day, everyone across Dragon Emperor City had heard that Dragon Emperor passed his throne to Zhang Tie and had him rule Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace as the new Dragon Emperor. Therefore, in the hearts of many immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie had already been Dragon Emperor of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. However, he was not officially coronated; nor had the Church admitted it in the public.

“What’s your name?” Zhang Tie asked as he took a look at that team leader.

“This humble officer is Chang Qianxun!”

“You must be an old man of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!”

“This humble man has already joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for over 200 years…” Chang Qianxun answered meticulously.

Zhang Tie nodded. The longer these immortal generals joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, the more they would admit the authority of Dragon Emperor; because they could feel the embarrassing situation caused by the disappearance of Dragon Emperor much better than the others. When they joined it, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could still maintain its basic stability. Few people dared to discuss the whereabouts of Dragon Emperor at that time. Although Dragon Emperor had disappeared, many people felt that His Majesty might be in secluded cultivation. However, in late decades; especially in the latest decade, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace gradually lost its stability while the gossips about the disappearance even death of Dragon Emperor had been popular across Motian Realm. Therefore, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace’s overall strength shrunk greatly.

“Did anything special happen in Dragon Emperor City these days?”

“Nothing. Since the former Dragon Emperor and Your Majesty left here that night, Dragon Emperor City has maintained as normal as usual. Elders strengthened the security across the city by dispatching immortal generals to patrol both ground and air…”

Chang Qianxun answered as he took a stealthy look at Zhang Tie again. Almost at the same time, he revealed a shocked look which he took it for granted——the closer he was to Zhang Tie, the more he was shocked by Zhang Tie’s young look. Given Zhang Tie’s amazingly young look and great battle strength, it was reasonable for him to have the former Dragon Emperor as his master.

Only after having a short chat with Chang Qianxun, Zhang Tie had arrived at the space above Dragon Emperor Pavilion.

Zhang Tie suddenly released his battle qi as a wash drawing of mysterious starry pattern covering thousands of meters rushed into the sky. Closely after that, all the stars were lit one after another. The starry pattern was the virtual image of Shocking the World Sutra which the former Dragon Emperor cultivated.

As the virtual image extended, Zhang Tie punched out a 200 longer berserk golden dragon which flew across the virtual image of Shocking the World Sutraaround the space above Dragon Emperor Pavilion for a short while. After that, it roared which shocked the entire city.

After a few days of silence, the entire Dragon Emperor City was in an uproar in the blink of an eye again.

Zhang Tie declared his arrival in this pattern…
