It was time to leave Castle of Black Iron.
If Zhang Tie could solve all the problems in Castle of Black Iron and could promote all the way to immortal emperor successfully at the highest speed before returning to Taixia Country, it was okay for him to stay inside Castle of Black Iron. Pitifully, even if he could absorb four elements in Castle of Black Iron, it would also take him a long period of time to promote to a sage-level knight, not to mention an immortal emperor.
Zhang Tie had been used to utilizing Purgatory Samsara Method for cultivation and had already jettisoned the stereotyped cultivation method step as the stereotyped way of cultivation was consuming too much time.
Previously, Zhang Tie had planned to not exit Castle of Black Iron until he refined all the fire elements of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu and reached at least six change realm of a heavenly knight. By then, he would be more confident when facing dangers. However, the reality would not always develop according to oneâs will. Additionally, there was always a price for surviving the strike of Versatile Demon Emperor.
If Zhang Tie could recover his battle qi in his qi sea, even if he stayed in Castle of Black Iron for 100 years, he still couldnât make any progress.
Perhaps his qi sea might recover itself in a few months or a few years; however, Zhang Tie didnât have so much time to waste. Furthermore, Zhang Tie felt that his qi sea could barely recover itself. The fatal strike of Versatile Demon Emperor could never be ignored.
On this occasion, Zhang Tie had to leave Castle of Black Iron so as to find other methods to recover his battle qi.
Thankfully, despite the loss of his battle qi, Zhang Tieâs spiritual energy had surged again. Therefore, with the great ability of divine dominator, Zhang Tie could still defeat ordinary opponents.
Zhang Tie was heading for Emperor NvWa City.
Emperor NvWa City was the forbidden area of demons. As Versatile Demon Emperor was chasing after him, Zhang Tie realized that Emperor NvWa City was his safest shelter. Additionally, many talents were gathering at Emperor NvWa City from the other areas across Motian Realm. Even if he couldnât find a way to recover his qi sea, he would still be able to collect some relevant information.
Coincidentally, Zhang Tie was in Yaohai Ocean, which was rightly connected to Emperor NvWa City to the west.
...
On the night of June 17, the 3586th year of Emperor NvWaâs Calendar, on the sea level in the east of Yaohai Ocean, a shoal of grass-eating whales bobbed to the surface of the water and spurted out water columns. Zhang Tie, being invisible, exited the whaleâs body together with a water column through the blowhole of the whale, floating in the air.
âThank you...â Zhang Tie said with a smile as he waved his hand towards the shoal of grass-eating whales. Those grass-eating whales replied with a light sound wave which could only be heard by Zhang Tie. Closely after that, they beat the waves by tails, arousing billows as high as dozens of meters. Then, these grass whales dove in the water again and continued their carefree travel in the ocean.
âEmperor NvWa City should be over there...â Zhang Tie mumbled as he looked around.
Zhang Tie was in the easternmost border of the active region of those grass whales in Qionghai Ocean. If Zhang Tie asked these grass whales to continue to move eastwards and leave their usual active region, those grass whales would become eye-catching. That would cause troubles and increase the risk of exposing himself. Therefore, Zhang Tie asked them to stop here. He then left the whaleâs belly and came outside.
In the vast ocean, he couldnât see anything but waves. There were not even any geographical coordinates for reference. Even though Zhang Tie had borne the map of the entire Motian Realm, he could only identify the general direction.
The sky within 600 miles was in dead silence. Zhang Tie dared not stay in the sky for too long. After identifying the general direction and examining the environment in the vicinity, he entered the ocean once again. In a split second, he had joined with the ocean current. Being pushed by that ocean current, Zhang Tie swam towards the east along with fish who were migrating.
âAs I encountered Si Dan near Yaohai Ocean a few days ago, it means that my whereabout has already been exposed.â Although it was over 1 month later, Zhang Tie was not sure whether Versatile Demon Emperor was still wandering in Yaohai Ocean and looking for him. Given the amazing, unpredictable power of the immortal emperor, Zhang Tie held that it was the safest way to hide himself at the bottom of the ocean.
...
At the afternoon 5 days later, it was sunny. A 20-year old swarthy sturdy youth who looked simple and honest with shiny eyes stood at the gate of Emperor NvWa City in the west in ordinary cyan warrior robe with a cheap long sword at his waist. In the crowd, he shaded his eyes with his hand as he looked up at the cloud-reaching city gate, mouth wide open...
Of course, this youth was Zhang Tie.
The city gate could really reach the clouds. It was neither an exaggeration nor a rhetorical device.
Standing at the city gate of Emperor NvWa City, Zhang Tie could really see the cloud and mist on the top of the city gate.
The city wall was higher than 4,000 m. It was as long as the Great Wall. The city wall appeared to be not made of ordinary stones, but metallic crystal stones just like that being used to construct the tower of time. On the cloud-reaching city wall were flowing numerous bizarre runes.
There were 9 heavens-level gates, 36 earth-level gates and 108 human-level gates on the west of Emperor NvWa City. The reason for opening so many gates lay in that the length of the city wall was longer than 2,500 miles in the west of Emperor NvWa City.
âA city wall higher than 4,000 m and longer than 2,500 miles being made of metallic crystal stones with bizarre runes flowing on like tower of time?â
If Zhang Tie didnât see it, he would never believe that there was such a city wall in this world. Such a city wouldnât even appear in his dream. However, it was true.
âSuch a city could never be constructed by the labor force.â Zhang Tie muttered.
Not until then did he realize why Emperor NvWaâs Palace could enjoy such a supreme social position in Motian Realm only depending on its Emperor NvWa City.
âGet out of the way...â Right then, Zhang Tie heard a voice. Closely after that, Zhang Tie felt being pushed by someone from his back. Of course, Zhang Tie could choose to not give way to him because that trivial force to his body was what an ant to an elephant. However, Zhang Tie âwasâ still pushed aside.
A 20-year old rich playboy with a folding fan in brilliant robe passed by Zhang Tie, face upwards. He didnât even take a look at Zhang Tie.
The playboy was accompanied by two strong bodyguards, a butler and two followers. The two bodyguards were both fierce immortal generals.
It was a bodyguard in front of that playboy who pushed away Zhang Tie. When the playboyâs butler passed by Zhang Tie, he even took a fast glance at Zhang Tie from his foot to his head. When he noticed Zhang Tieâs coarse warrior robe and his cheap long sword, he instantly revealed a disdainful look.
Zhang Tie didnât mind it; instead, he just stood aside. These peopleâs judgment about him served as his best protective color which he needed the most.
âAs Iâm here for learning. Have you arranged for my residence?â The playboy opened his mouth arrogantly in front.
âDonât worry, young master, master has already chosen a quadrangle dwellings for you in downtown. We will buy it the moment we arrive there today. From then on, we will have someplace to settle down; instead of living in hotels...â
âHmm, I just donât want to live together with those servants and rustics...â the playboy sighed as he complained, âEverything in Emperor NvWa City is good except that all kinds of people could enter. I think Emperor NvWaâs Palace should set the entrance fee. If one wants to enter the city, he or she has to pay 100,000 crystal coins. In this way, Emperor NvWa City could become a bit quieter. Like how our private cities do, when we donât want rustics to enter our cities, we will raise the entrance free. The higher the entrance fee is, the fewer the number of rustics would be...â
âThatâs wise, wise, young master...â The butler nodded as he bowed towards him.
âListen, you have to plant thousands of square metersâ black bamboos in my courtyard. Itâs said that Mr. Cyancliff likes bamboo the most. Only with bamboos would the courtyard feel elegant. Oh, if the pond in the courtyard is not large enough, itâs not beautiful either. Find someone to make it larger. Otherwise, demolish the courtyard and build a new one. As long as Iâve got the land, I will build it according to my own will. Additionally, I want to build a waterside pavilion above the pond. The waterside pavilion should be composed of at least 7 storeys. Just make it similar to Heavenly Spirit Tower. I only need 70-80 servants. Each of them should be excellent. Am I clear?â
âAhem, ahem... young master... err... err... Iâm afraid that the quadrangle dwelling that the master has gotten for you is a bit small...â
âSmall?â The playboy stopped at a stroke as he turned around with a frown, âHow small? 7 entries
1
or 8?â
âAhem, ahem... itâs... itâs 2 entries...â the butler replied in a low voice.
âWhat?â The playboy shrieked like a pig being slaughtered, arousing the attention of many people. âIs that a quadrangle dwelling? How could people live in there? Even our dogsâ residence has more than 2 entries...â
The butler hurriedly explained to him, âYoung master, young master, weâre in Emperor NvWaâs City. Each inch of land here is very expensive. Itâs already great for us to buy a courtyard here...â
âDonât tell me about that. Donât tell me about that. Tell my dad, I want a bigger one...â
Watching the weird young master and his retinue entering the city gate while shrieking, Zhang Tie smirked as he followed them in...
