Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1665: Pleasure and Sadness

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Surprise always came sudden. The moment Zhang Tie entered the parlor of the palace tree of Castle of Black Iron and noticed the brilliance over the small tree, his heart had started racing. He then knew that the small tree must bring him a surprise.

Before entering Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie actually didn’t have any expectation. He just wanted to try whether Castle of Black Iron was available in Motian Realm. Of course, according to Zhang Tie’s estimation, after a few days since he received the three black invitations, Paul should have created some more fruits of redemption for him. What was more, Zhang Tie wanted to know whether the growth speed of fruits on the small tree in the world where he came from was consistent with that in Motian Realm. If the time flow rate here was slower such as one day here was equal to one month or one year in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie would be driven mad.

Whenever he thought about this possibility, Zhang Tie would feel like breaking apart.

There were over 10 fruits of redemption on the small tree, some of which were from the gratitude of golden uangs, some were from the gratitude of gulf shrimps; five of them were from the gratitude of hairy shells. These fruits of redemption covered strength, defensive ability, resilience and adaptability in extreme conditions. They increased Zhang Tie’s overall strength constantly.

Seeing those fruits of redemption, Zhang Tie let out a sigh at once. Given the growth speed of fruits, Zhang Tie realized that the time flow rate here was almost like that in the world where he came from.

The fruit which was giving out brilliant light was the fruit of brilliance. At this moment, this fruit was really resplendent.

Besides, there was another fruit being covered with strong light, a fruit of bloodline.

At the sight of the two fruits, Zhang Tie exclaimed inside, ‘What a fortune!’

Zhang Tie didn’t imagine that the death of Heavenly Hunyuan a few days ago could bring him the fruit of brilliance and fruit of bloodline at the same time.

‘Precisely, Heavenly Hunyuan was not killed by me directly; instead, he was injured by my deity-killing sword, pulled down and finally killed by the strength in the crack of the former space.’

——The deteriorating glorious rays will definitely be used after the death of the sinners. The soul of the sinners shall return to the Dark Land, while the glorious rays of the soul shall remain. The glorious rays were a force that was granted to the soul by the Creator and should not be desecrated. The glorious rays belong to the brave men who spread the righteousness of the Gods. As a brave fighter who brandished your blade against evil, you will earn glorious rays as you judge evil. The glorious rays of the soul will coexist within you, making you stronger.

——The brave man who dares to wave saber towards the dark force, when you conquer your fear, everything would be possible. When you create a marvel in the dark, the marvel would manifest itself in the brightness for sure. This fruit of bloodline is your marvel and your greatest reward, with which you would acknowledge the secrets of the endless treasures of your body and have the power of determining your own fate. The power doesn’t come from your punch but from your strong will and heart of being a brave man.

When Zhang Tie watched the two familiar paragraphs under the two fruits, he sighed with emotions inside. Superficially, Heavenly Hunyuan looked righteous and fair; however, he must have secretly done a lot of evil things and been pretty vicious so as to produce such fruits after death.

The fruits were the last trial and accusation of Heavenly Hunyuan. If Heavenly Hunyuan was innocent or kept the bottom line as a human knight, his death would definitely not lead to the two fruits. Now that the small tree produced the two fruits, it indicated that Heavenly Hunyuan was as evil as Han Zhengfang who had done as many evil things as those knights of Three-eye Association had done.

Watching the two fruits, Zhang Tie felt both happy and sad.

He was happy because the two fruits could bring him power; he was sad because he was worried about Taixia Country and his family. Now that Heavenly Hunyuan was so rebellious, Taiyi Old Man and Shenkong Old Man must have been rebellious too. Three of the top six sects in Taixia Country were under the leadership of such douchebags, it was definitely not good news for Taixia Country and Jinwu Palace in Youzhou Province. The dark of the Imperial Alliance and the dirty methods adopted by the Imperial Alliance might be out of Zhang Tie’s imagination, which might be the largest crisis facing Taixai Country from inside...

However, as Zhang Tie was trapped in Motian Realm, he could not give any favor to Taixia Country despite his concerns and strength.

Watching the two fruits, Zhang Tie recalled those arrangements that he had made for Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect and the current situation facing Imperial Alliance after losing Xuanyuan Wuji and a sage-level knight, Zhang Tie was a bit composed. However, he didn’t know whether Taiyi Old Man and Shenkong Old Man had a plan B or would do harm to Jinwu Palace. Therefore, Zhang Tie was worried and helpless again...

“Castle Lord...” Heller had already come to the back of Zhang Tie as he woke Zhang Tie up.

After letting out a deep sigh, Zhang Tie thought, ‘What counts most is to grow stronger using the resources in Motian Realm and find the way back!’

“It’s so nice to see you again!” Zhang Tie turned around with a smile.

“Me too. Castle Lord, congratulations. It’s so great for Castle Lord to survive the crack of space in fighting the sage-level knight!”

Zhang Tie then pointed at the two special fruits on the small tree and said with a smile, “These fruits might be the best interpretation of my survival...”

“Castle Lord deserves them!” Heller replied with a smile as he added, “There’re many resources in Motian Realm which we could not find in the world where you come from such as those rare and bizarre plants. Castle Lord might have already seen some in Motian Realm over these days. If they could be moved to Castle of Black Iron, they would benefit Castle of Black Iron a lot!”

“Hmm, I will. I will collect some plant seeds when I get a chance!” Zhang Tie said as he nodded. These days, Zhang Tie indeed had seen some strange plants. Take that species that he saw on the ground when he was in the airboat as an instance, that kind of tree could grow higher than 200 m. He also saw some arbors which carried rich ears-of-wheat-like fruits. These plants couldn’t be seen in the world where he came from. Additionally, some resources in Motian Realm were amazingly rich.

“Besides, Castle Lord perhaps gotta take care of some news!” Heller warned him.

“Oh, what news?”

“Now that there’s an existence above sage-level knight and many cultivation methods are well preserved, Castle Lord, have you thought about seeing a complete version of King Roc Sutra in this world?”

Heller’s words shocked Zhang Tie in a split second as he became still under the small tree for a few seconds...

Since he started to study the cultivation method of King Roc Sutra step by step hardly, Zhang Tie had long taken it as an incomplete version. He even had forgotten about the fact that there was a complete version of King Roc Sutra at the beginning. Heller’s words woke him up. He might not get the complete version of King Roc Sutra from the world where he came from; however, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t find one either in this world. The two worlds were too similar to each other in many aspects. Additionally, the cultivation methods in Motian Realm appeared to be more complete, what if there was one complete version of King Roc Sutra in this world?

“Heller, thank you, I almost forgot about it...” Zhang Tie said as he watched Heller appreciatively.

“It’s a pleasure. Even if I didn’t warn you, Castle Lord would have also thought about it soon!” Heller said with a modest smile.

Zhang Tie then nodded quietly. After taking a look at the small tree, he picked the fruit of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs and started to engulf it. Closely after that, he returned to his private room in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace where many immortal generals were living in. Additionally, many secret methods in this world aroused Zhang Tie’s alert too. For instance, when he was waiting for the head of the branch in the room with the others, Zhang Tie felt that the water molecules in the air were correlated with each other, being utterly different than that in other rooms. If not Zhang Tie could manipulate water as a divine dominator or was very sensitive to water, Zhang Tie might barely notice it. Therefore, Zhang Tie always became alert. He didn’t want to expose his greatest trump card. Therefore, unless an emergency, he would try his best to not stay in Castle of Black Iron too long; especially when there were a lot of immortal generals near him.

After returning to his room, Zhang Tie walked to his bed and sat down with crossed legs while digesting the fruit, waiting for Liu brothers...
