Castle of Black Iron

‘Heavens of Light?’

This name was strange. Zhang Tie had never heard about it before. When he heard it, he immediately felt it was ethereal.

Zhang Tie gazed at that three-dimensional map in his mind sea for quite a while as he found that there was only one route leading to the top of Mountain Ruins. There was a huge tower called Babel on the floor under Heavens Light. It was the mere tunnel that connected the two floors like a huge pillar.

“You said it was the most dangerous place in Buzhou Mountain. Do you know what fierce things are inside there?” Zhang Tie asked Tang Mei out of curiosity.

“To be honest, I don’t know it either!” Tang Mei replied as she slightly shook her head.

“You don’t know?” Zhang Tie raised his voice at once.

“Brother, do you think I’m almighty God? How could I know everything?” Tang Mei rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie. After that, she stroked the hair beside her temple, which made her more womanly. “Since Buzhou Mountian was damaged, nobody had ever accessed to the highest floor. Despite being the owner of Emperor NvWa’s Palace, I couldn’t know everything either. It’s just my speculation!”

“Speculation?” Zhang Tie asked with a bit dumbfounded look, “How dare you believe in your speculation at the risk of your life?”

“Of course, but my speculation is reasonable. I speculate according to strict analysis; I’m not just making a guess blindly!”

“Well, what do you think the fierce thing is inside there?”

“Besides deities’ battle puppets, there probably were some dead existences which were even more powerful than immortal emperors or demon emperors. They could easily tear anybody inside it into pieces!”

“Aren’t they dead? How…” Zhang Tie instantly stopped; because he recalled the corpse that they encountered in the tunnel soon after they entered Buzhou Mountain. Although the corpse appeared to have died for many years, it instantly sprung up and launched a strike towards them and startled them a lot when they passed it.

Dead things could continue to threaten others. Zhang Tie instantly recalled puppet worms. Dead men under the control of puppet worms were even more terrifying than alive people.

How could there be such or similar things inside Buzhou Mountain? Perhaps those inside Buzhou Mountain were more advanced than puppet worms or were relevant to an unimaginable secret method. Now that Buzhou Mountain was destroyed in a war, they might have used any tricks they could. If the war’s ferocity was not out of their imagination, how could it easily destroy Buzhou Mountain.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s guess, Tang Mei replied,

“True. The so-called puppet worms are just an inferior control device. They could at most control supreme-level immortal generals. As long as people form their immortal chakras, they will not be controlled by these inferior puppet worms. According to the records in Emperor NvWa’s Palace, I learned that one party or both parties in the war between deities might have used some strength of universal law which was even irresistible for deities. This magical strength could turn late pals of one party into undying walking dead who could keep fighting ceaselessly. Unless their physical bodies have absolutely perished, they could never be killed. This strength still remains after tens of thousands of years. It covers the entire Buzhou Mountain. With the influence of this strength, all the complete late immortal generals and above inside Buzhou Mountain have become fierce deities like that we’ve seen at the beginning!”

“Fierce deity? Is that what they’re called?”

“Yes, according to the records of Emperor NvWa’s Palace, those who have formed their immortal chakras and could still kill people despite being dead with the influence of a strong strength of universal law are called fierce deities. There probably be fierce deities who have formed 2 or 3 immortal chakras inside Heavens of Light!”

Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile. Even immortal emperors inside Motian Realm have just formed one immortal chakra. He dared not even imagine about the those who have formed two or three immortal chakras. He then asked Tang Mei, “What if I’m scared by your words?”

“Brother, how could you be scared so easily?” Tang Mei said as she winked her eyes.

“It’s human’s instinct to pursue good fortune and avoid disaster. I think I’m still with my instinct!” Zhang Tie said helplessly as he flipped those potatoes with a stick, “How do you think I could have a chance to survive the challenge from a fierce deity who has formed two or three immortal chakras. Oh, what if we encounter a fierce deity who has formed four immortal chakras inside the highest floor? If we rush inside, it’s nothing different than seeking death! May you tell me a piece of good news which could make me bolder?”

“There’s no fierce deity who could form 4 immortal chakras!” Tang Mei said with a smile. Zhang Tie’s helpless look became such manly in Tang Mei’s eyes; because it was his bravery on the back of his helpless look.

“Why?”

“Because the forbidden strength of universal law could at most turn deities who have formed 3 immortal chakras into fierce deities. Is it a piece of good news which could make you bold, brother!”

Zhang Tie showed the white of his eyes towards Tang Mei as he said with a sigh, “Alright, you’d better not call me brother later on. As long as you call me brother, I would feel being screwed by you again. Is the top treasure of Buzhou Mountain that you said inside there?”

“Brother, do you want to pluck up your courage by asking about that?”

“Of course!” Zhang Tie replied straightforwardly, “If I’m not stimulated at this moment, I’m really afraid that I don’t have enough confidence and bravery to enter the highest floor to integrate the space ball of Motian Realm with Castle of Black Iron!”

“Brother, you really don’t know how to lie!” Tang Mei said as she watched Zhang Tie with a smile and spoke lightly, “Brother, actually you will enter Heavens of Light no matter what’s inside it and whether I’m inside or not. You have long got the reason for entering it, am I right?”

“After hearing your words, I feel like a fool!” Zhang Tie said as he flipped those potatoes by a stick and threw a well-cooked one at Tang Mei. “Take it. I wonder whether the potatoes being cooked with heavenly sandalwood would taste better with straws…”

After throwing one well-cooked potatoe at Tang Mei, Zhang Tie also took one. After cleaning its dust by palm, he started to tear off its skin. Closely after that, the entire tree hole was filled with a rich fragrance.

One night passed soon…

Not knowing why, although Tang Mei looked so beautiful that she could cause fish to sink in water, swallows to fall to the ground, moon to hide itself and flowers to shame; Zhang Tie had never thought about having sex with her at all. They just slept in clothes beside the bonfire. Zhang Tie felt such calm. After being called brother for long, Zhang Tie really treated Tang Mei as his younger sister and pal. Meanwhile, although Tang Mei treated Zhang Tie intimately and relied on him to a certain degree, Zhang Tie could feel that the relationship between Tang Mei, as the space spirit of Motian Realm, and him was not love. It was just mutual trust.

…

3 days later, when Zhang Tie left this woods, he had already teleported all the high heavenly sandalwoods into Castle of Black Iron…
