Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1942: Zhang Tie’s Choice

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The change of his spiritual energy and battle qi in his mind sea and qi sea was too abrupt. Zhang Tie had never imagined that his spiritual energy and battle qi could turn into the same energy one day...

The change was ongoing. After his battle qi and spiritual energy both turned into the brilliant energy, the same energy was still pouring into the hot sun in his qi sea and the bright moon and stars in his mind sea. When Zhang Tie felt that the hot sun in his qi sea and the bright moon and stars in his mind sea were going to be blown up, Zhang Tie’s mind sea and qi sea rocked at the same time. Closely after that, the brilliance that the hot sun in his qi sea and the bright moon and stars gave out turned colorful at the same time.

The entrance of Infinite Immortal Prison in his shrine surging point was still open. The colorful energy was still surging out of the entrance. Gradually, the energy overflew his mind sea and qi sea. Then, it started to flow across his body like water that flew out of a water vat. As a result, his body as a whole was filled with that colorful energy.

When Zhang Tie was worried about whether the energy would blow up his body or not, the entrance of Infinite Immortal Prison suddenly closed like a sluice gate. Then, his body quivered once as all the energy inside his body faded away like an ebb tide and entered his surging points. Zhang Tie’s body recovered in an instant.

After standing there still for a short while, Zhang Tie discovered that his mind sea had already been connected to his qi sea by two tunnels like how two ponds were connected. In those tunnels, the colorful energy was circulating. The energy could flow into the mind sea from his qi sea, vice versa.

‘Incredible!’

Zhang Tie tried to regulate the energy in his qi sea to release a layer of protective battle qi outside his body.

There was no problem for him to do this. His battle qi could be regulated as same as before. However, this time he could release his protective battle qi the moment he regulated the energy in his qi sea. Additionally, Zhang Tie found that the protective battle qi that he had just formed appeared to be a bit different than that before. It was not an evident change. However, Zhang Tie felt that his protective battle qi had reached a new level. His protective battle qi appeared to be more powerful with greater defensive power and tenacity. After sensing it slightly, Zhang Tie found that the tenacity and strength of his protective battle qi had enhanced by 40% or so.

It was great progress!

‘Is that colorful energy something more advanced than battle qi? How could it have such a strange effect?’

The protective battle qi was constantly consuming the colorful energy in his qi sea; meanwhile, the energy in his mind sea and the energy in his qi sea started to circulate so as to fix the missing energy in the qi sea at a higher speed.

Now, the spiritual energy in his mind sea and the battle qi in his qi sea could recover respectively. Although this resilience couldn’t match that in his heyday, once the two spaces were connected, the energy could flow into his qi sea from his mind sea to fix the missing spiritual energy, vice versa. It indicated that Zhang Tie’s resilience had increased by two times. In battles, it was equal to that Zhang Tie had two qi seas or two mind seas no matter whether he fought in the pattern of a divine dominator or a common knight...

Zhang Tie then stopped releasing his protective battle qi. Then, he ran his spiritual energy and started to form a master-level hiding rune in his mind sea with the colorful energy. This process was as same as before. At this moment, the colorful energy appeared to be his spiritual energy again. With the consumption of the colorful energy in his mind sea, an unprecedented master-level hiding rune came into being in his mind sea.

Compared to the other golden runes, this master-level hiding rune was colorful. Giving out a special brilliance in Zhang Tie’s mind sea, it looked outstanding.

Additionally, when the energy in his mind sea was being consumed, the energy in his qi sea started to flow into his mind sea in order to fix the missing energy in his mind sea.

‘That’s true!’

Watching the colorful master-level hiding rune, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth as he activated another one regardless of the loss of his energy.

The effect of the fresh master-level hiding rune instantly covered the effect of the former one.

As he had experienced the effect of invisible Shen bead, Zhang Tie instantly felt that the effect of the fresh master-level hiding rune was about 40% greater than that of the former one, which was on the same level of his protective battle qi.

Zhang Tie became ecstatic in an instant!

Previously, Tang Mei said that with the increasing number of immortal chakras, the spiritual energy and battle qi of powerhouses above immortal emperor would gradually combine into one energy just like the colorful energy that he felt now. However, Zhang tie was not sure whether this energy was left by powerhouses above immortal emperors. He had sensed Tang Mei’s battle qi, which appeared to be not that pure and variable. Additionally, the ocean of energy that he had discovered in the space bubble contained too much energy. Even though Zhang Tie had promoted to an immortal emperor, 10,000 Zhang Tie still couldn’t produce so much energy. Therefore, Zhang Tie was not sure about the colorful energy and didn’t know why he could discover that energy in that chaotic space. However, it didn’t matter. What counted most was that Zhang Tie found that energy was available to him.

Zhang Tie was crystal clear that his overall battle force would increase by 40% than that before leaving Motian Realm once he passed his “frail” period and completely recovered. By then, he would definitely be at the peak stage of the sage-level knight, which meant that he would almost enhance half realm.

He really got good out of misfortune!

Additionally, he didn’t have to pass the “frail” period of three years in the real world. He could actually make it shorter if he stayed in a tower of time!

As for the towers of time that he knew, there was one under Ice and Snow Wilderness; however, that tower of time’s cycle was 60 years. It was not available for the time being.

There were many towers of time in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect; however, he was not sure whether there was a tower of time available inside it. Those towers of time must have played a great role in Jinwu Palace’s prosperity over these years facing the hard times in Taixia Country. Yan Feiqing and Zhang Tie’s elder brother would never waste those towers of time. If Zhang Tie went back to Jinwu Palace now, he would definitely arouse the attention of the enemies. That might be what his enemies were craving for.

So was the tower of time where Zhang Tie and Yan Feiqing once stayed in. It was less possible for that tower of time to be vacant. Additionally, the location of that tower of time was completely in the control region of demons.

The best way was to find a tower of time in the Western Continent. Only by staying inside it for a few days would he recover completely.

It was already difficult for him to find a tower of time in the Western Continent, not to mention that he had to cover his identity from someone...

‘Oh!’

‘Ockham!’

A name instantly occurred to Zhang Tie...

When he read the memory of that low-level officer of the No. 6 royal corps of Aoto Empire, Zhang Tie got a message that officer heard from someone else in the camp a few months ago——there were two corps of Holy Light Empire among the forces in the Hicks Peninsula Theater of Operations. The two Holy Light Grand Priests of Holy Light Empire might also be supervising their soldiers in the East Line of Western Continent...

The low-level officer of the No. 6 Royal Corps of the Aoto Empire couldn’t touch too much high-level information of the allied human forces, therefore Zhang Tie was not sure whether Ockham was supervising his soldiers in the East Line or not. However, there were only 3 Holy Light Grand Priests in the Holy Light Empire in total, two of them were in the East Line; therefore, Ockham probably also be in the East Line.

When he recalled Ockham, Zhang Tie observed the bloody seal produced by that god’s baptism rune floating somewhere in his mind sea. The bloody seal was still there, which meant that Ockham was still alive and had not betrayed him; neither did he expose the relationship between him and Zhang Tie to the public. As Ockham and Zhang Tie were still connected with each other by the strong bond of the god’s baptism rune, Ockham must know that Zhang Tie was still alive...

Unexpectedly, this piece that Zhang Tie casually set in the Western Continent still worked now. Zhang Tie then revealed a faint smile as he instantly felt bright in the future.

However, before meeting Ockham, he must deal with something and make some preparation...

At least he should not feel hungry. He had not eaten anything for a few years inside that huge egg.

After taking a look at the city which was full of battle flames, Zhang Tie activated his invisible Shen bead again as he floated out of the window...

Even a camel that was going to die due to starvation was bigger than a cat. Even though his current battle force was less than 1/100 of that in his peak, as long as he didn’t expose his identity to the public and his spiritual energy and battle qi became full, he could recover his vitality at once...

It was actually very easy for him to find food; especially on the battlefield. The troop where the low-level officers of the No. 6 royal corps of Aoto Empire were in had set many secrets, temporary, free supply points in Coldwater City, which had a stockpile of food. Although those military field food were not yummy, they carried great heat. After taking them, people could recover their strength rapidly.

After being starved in the huge egg for a few years, Zhang Tie felt that he could eat up a whole ox.
