Castle of Black Iron 1978 The Leader Ii

"The scenery in Taixia Country is indeed different than that in Motian Realm. There're so many marvelous things here. After entering the air zone of Pingzhou Province, I feel this province appears to be more prosperous than the other provinces and prefectures." Bian Heng spoke to Zhang Tie as he watched the mountains, rivers, land, cities and villages that were elapsing under his foot.

There were a total of more than 10 observation decks in the Xuanyuan-level airboat that could meet the demands of different people. Zhang Tie and Bian Heng were on the highest point at the prow of the airboat, from where they could view most sceneries. As the deck had been surrounded with a crystal cover that had processed with alchemic skill, they didn't worry about heavy wind and strong sunlight here; meanwhile, they could enjoy the sceneries across the country.

'I wonder whether Emperor Xuanyuan always stood here and enjoyed the beautiful rivers and mountains of Taixia Country previously or not.'

Such a weird whim occurred to Zhang Tie while he answered Bian Heng, "Pingzhou is one of the top 9 immortal provinces in Taixia Country. The 9 immortal provinces are all essential zones of Hua people. Each province contains tens of billions of people. Their prosperity could never be matched by other provinces and prefectures. But when you arrive at Xuanyuan Hill, you will see the most prosperous and magnificent city in the world!"

"It's strange. There're so many people and cities in Taixia Country; however, n.o.body could form an immortal chakra and promote to an immortal emperor!" Bian Heng sighed, shaking his head. "It seems that when one gets something, one will lose something else. Such a large population is unimaginable in Motian Realm!"

Although being on the observation deck, they were still talking secretly with battle qi; because their contents were not suitable to be eavesdropped by the third people. It was also a habit that Bian Heng had formed since he came to Taixia Country. When someone else was beside them, Bian Heng would pay attention to his words; when he was with Zhang Tie alone, he would not care so much as he just put it straight.

"There's a large population in Taixia Country; however, there's no Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring in this world. Therefore, the ultimate level of knights here is just sage-level knight. As you and your wife have already formed sage-level chakras, you're already top powerhouses in this world..."

"Top sh*t!" Bian Heng rolled his eyes while he cast a glare at Zhang Tie, continuing, "You killed demon emperors like chopping melons and vegetables in Motian Realm. The so-called sage-level knights are nothing but sh*t in front of you. Additionally, you've long drunk Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring. Even the entire Mountain Ruins is in your hand. There's one point that I'm confused about. Now that you've got the Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, why not have your wife Yan Feiqing drink some? Additionally, Yun Zhongzi has already taken you as his owner sincerely. He will never disobey your order in the future. He could also have some. Why don't you gift him some? As long as the two people advance to immortal emperors, won't your force be more powerful? Additionally, even though they promote to immortal emperors, they won't pose any threat to you. By then, you will definitely be more powerful than them..."

The reason that Bian Heng and Jiang Mingyue promised to be Jinwu Palace's employed elders and follow Zhang Tie's order lay in the verbal agreement between them and Zhang Tie out of trust——As long as they could serve as the employed elders of Jinwu Palace for 100 years, if they determined to return to Motian Realm, they would be gifted Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring by Zhang Tie before leaving.

Of course, it had nothing to do with Zhang Tie whether Bian Heng and Jiang Mingyue could establish an immortal palace and promote to immortal emperors in Motian Realm or not. It depended on themselves.

Out of the temptation of Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, Bian Heng and Jiang Mingyue left Motian Realm for Taixia Country with Zhang Tie.

After hearing Bian Heng's questions, Zhang Tie shook his head silently. After a short while, he asked Bian Heng, "How do you feel about Taixia Country?"

"Not bad! What do you mean?"

"Taixia Country is indeed not bad. But do you think the current situation facing Taixia Country could remain unchanged if I gift them Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring?"

Bian Heng instantly thought up something as he said, "You mean..."

"After drinking Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, they would see clearly their cultivation road forward. That road might be nice; but in the long run, it might not be good for Taixia Country and humans. The fame of a general means tens of thousands of lives, not to mention an immortal emperor. Zhang Tie looked forward with profound eyes as he said, "If there were Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring in this world, Taixia Country's territory has long been shared by immortal palaces; instead of being such a complete country like today. If Taixia Country were split up, how could it defend demons? From then on, when human powerhouses rise, they would definitely scramble for their personal territories through fight so as to seize the opportunity to form their immortal chakras. Even if I have Feiqing and Yun Zhongzi drink Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, if they don't establish immortal palaces, they would not be able to absorb forces of moods or advance to immortal emperors. If they found immortal palaces, do you think Taixia Country will be peaceful or not? Even if they found immortal palaces in the other continents or subcontinents; instead of Taixia Country, they would also pose endless threats to humans too..." Zhang Tie sighed as he continued, "Once Feiqin and Yun Zhongzi form their immortal chakras, Zhang clan of Jinwu Palace will only have two ways to go: rule all the humans through wars; or become the common target of humans and demons. It's also possible for human and demon knights to join hands with each other to deal with Jinwu Palace. On many occasions, human heart is even more terrifying than demons. No matter which way we will choose, the descendants of Zhang clan would never live peacefully any more..."

If one wanted to form his immortal chakra, he must absorb forces of moods. The forces of moods referred to the energies of moods with different attributes in people's minds. In the realm of moods, these energies existed everywhere. Actually, when one formed his first immortal chakra, only very little energy carried by one's pious belief was available in the realm of mind. Additionally, if one wanted to produce such kind of energy, he must found an immortal palace or have his own belief. 

Theoretically, after one formed his first immortal chakra and promoted to an immortal emperor, he could form another 8 immortal chakras. In fact, n.o.body else among humans or demons in Motian Realm could form the second immortal chakra.

The force of moods being used to form the second immortal chakra was not completely limited to the energy of belief from one's immortal palace. One could also absorb the energies of other moods with different attributes. Although it appeared to be easier than forming the first immortal chakra, the key point for one to form his second immortal chakra was to realize rules on higher levels. If one couldn't make it, he would not form the second immortal chakra.

When in Motian Realm, Zhang Tie could acquire the energy of belief from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. In this world, he could acquire the energy of belief from the Ancient-G.o.d Church. The Ancient-G.o.d Church that Zhang Tie founded at the beginning casually by disguising as a d.a.m.ned priest at the beginning helped him promote to an immortal emperor. The two immortal palaces provided the force of mood for Zhang Tie to form his first immortal chakra.

It sounded a bit strange. Although the population of followers of Ancient-G.o.d Church was smaller than that of the followers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie found the energy of belief that the Ancient-G.o.d Church provided to him was even greater than that from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

"I finally know why you promised Jiang Mingyue and me to gift us Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring when we return to Motian Realm in 100 years..." Bian Heng bared his teeth as he stroked his face and took a glance at Zhang Tie, saying, "I feel being cheated by you..."

"Ahem... ahem... you're thinking too much!" Zhang Tie answered with a solemn look.

When Bian Heng wanted to say something else, he heard regular footsteps and knocks from behind.

"Come in..." Zhang Tie said without looking back. 

Zhang Chenglei entered. After making a military salute to Zhang Tie and Bian Heng with full respect, he talked to Zhang Tie, "Dad, I've got a message from the royal palace of Xuanyuan Hill. Those civilians in Xuanyuan Hill have been in uproars after knowing that you're going to Xuanyuan Hill. Over 100 million people have already surged into those airports outside Xuanyuan Hill. They're waiting to see you. As too many people were gathering in those airports, the royal palace was afraid that you're unhappy about that. Therefore, they wanted to remove the air forbidden zone above Xuanyuan Hill so that our airboat could directly land in the square outside the royal palace. I'm waiting for your decision!"

Watching his dad kill two sage-level knights and destroy the three encampments of demons in Taixia Country alone, Zhang Chenglei, as Zhang Tie's eldest son, held Zhang Tie in greater awe.

Before promoting to a knight, Zhang Chenglei and his brothers had taken Zhang Tie as their idol. When he became a knight, especially an earth knight, Zhang Chenglei and his brothers gradually realized how powerful was their father. 

Zhang Tie watched Zhang Chenglei with a smile as he asked, "Chenglei, what do you think Royal Palace means?"

Zhang Chenglei became silent for a few seconds. Then, he took a glance at Zhang Tie and said straightforwardly, "I think Royal Palace is testing you!"

"Why do the Royal Palace test me?" Zhang Tie continued to ask Zhang Chenglei with a calm look.

Zhang Chenglei gritted his teeth before saying, "Father, because everyone across Taixia Country said that you're going to be the new Emperor Xuanyuan; of course, those royal households in the Royal Palace feel panicky. Only Emperor Xuanyuan could have Xuanyuan Hill remove the air forbidden zone and directly land his airboat in the square outside the Royal Palace..."
