Bang...

The terrifying strike brought by Infinite Immortal Prison almost burned the entire palace on the floor below Heaven of Light into ashes.

With one strike, the air there had become even hotter than magma. Meanwhile, the ground on that floor was shaking heavily like experiencing an earthquake.

The last blue deities’ battle puppet in the palace, who was as powerful as an immortal emperor was shattered by Zhang Tie’s strike. His broken body parts were sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. Even the 10-odd bloody deities’ battle puppets rushing towards him were destroyed by the strong impact wave of Zhang Tie’s strike.

Over 1,000 deities’ battle puppets were heavily injured by Zhang Tie’s constant strikes. Their tight formation finally revealed a loophole. Zhang Tie then broke out of the palace with his huge stick and came to the palace under the magnificent brilliant starry sky immediately.

It was an area of dilapidated ruins that was giving out time-honored qi under the starry sky.

Although it was his second time to see such a scene, Zhang Tie’s heart still palpitated once when he saw everything in this space. The interwoven scenery of the brilliant and eternal starry sky and the far-ancient dilapidated buildings in the long course of history carried a great impact force. It caused Zhang Tie to meditate like an abstruse subject.

In that ruins, a purely white, high tower was standing still and even reached the starry sky.

The Heavens-Reaching Tower was already in front of him.

However, Zhang Tie didn’t have time to meditate as a great batch of deities’ battle puppets were chasing after him. Those deities’ battle puppets feared nothing.

Zhang Tie didn’t waste time on those deities’ battle puppets, because he had already felt that the effect of triggering Battle God Bloodline was declining. He then rushed towards the purely white Heavens-Reaching Tower with a streak of light, tens of thousands of meters per step.

The entrance of the Heavens-Reaching Tower was still complete. Light was flowing faintly on both sides of the entrance. The entrance was not a gate, but a white light curtain. As Zhang Tie was being closely chased after by those deities’ battle puppets, he soon arrived at the entrance at the bottom of Heavens-Reaching Tower before entering the light curtain...

When Zhang Tie entered that light curtain, those deities’ battle puppets instantly stopped.

In the “dream”, when Zhang Tie and Tang Mei came here, they entered the Space Spirit’s Palace and rested a few days over there. After recovering their energy, they continued to explore the Heaven of Light meticulously. This time, as Zhang Tie had already known the situation in the Heaven of Light, he directly entered the Heaven of Light on the highest floor of the Heavens-Reaching Tower from the entrance without any concern or rest.

When Zhang Tie entered the light curtain, a huge transparent bubble wrapped him immediately, causing him to rush into the sky, as if taking a high-speed lift. Only after a short while, the bubble had burst. Zhang Tie then entered the Heaven of Light.

When he arrived at the Heaven of Light, the light&shade of Battle God disappeared immediately. Meanwhile, he almost staggered forward due to the strong dizziness.

Everything here was as same as that he saw last time in his “dream”. The ground here was covered with corpses and body parts of fierce deities, which were giving out brilliant red light like gemstones.

As Zhang Tie had already started to sense the aftermath of triggering Battle God bloodline, he rushed to the side of Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring as fast as he could. Closely after that, he threw himself onto the side of the pool and immersed his head into the Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring before having a drink.

If he did not know that he could fix the aftermath of triggering Battle God bloodline in the shortest period soon after coming here and drinking Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring to his hearts’ content, he would never trigger his Battle God bloodline in the Heavens-Reaching Tower.

In his “dream”, it took Zhang Tie almost one month from the entrance at the second floor of Mountain Ruins to the Heaven of Light at the top floor. However, this time, it only took him one day to reach the floor where Heaven of Light was from the bottom.

Zhang Tie made it at the cost of triggering his Battle God bloodline and six substitutes. Additionally, he ignored all the element crystals and heavenly sandalwood on the way. He only wanted to come to the Heaven of Light in the shortest period of time.

The important reason that Zhang Tie accomplished it so fast lay in that he knew that a tower of time inside the secret realm of Mountain Ruins under the control of demons was available in half a month. Zhang Tie could cultivate inside for two decades, during which period of time he could reach four change realm of his immortal chakra. Zhang Tie must grasp this opportunity.

In the “dream”, in order to leave Motian Realm for Taixia Country as soon as possible, Zhang Tie missed many things and opportunities in Motian Realm and Mountain Ruins. This time, he would not repeat it.

After drinking Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, he saw the effect immediately. In an instant, the weakening effect of triggering Battle God bloodline came to a stop. Closely after that, Zhang Tie felt that his vigor was recovering slowly.

In case of more trouble, Zhang Tie stood up and started to teleport the items in the Heaven of Light into Castle of Black Iron.

Those entered his eyes first were body parts of fierce deities that spread everywhere over the floor.

All the body parts of those fierce deities had been energized. Each of their body parts was emitting brilliant bloody light. According to Tang Mei, only fierce deities who had formed two immortal chakras and above could keep this kind of eternal bloody light after death. According to the depth of the color of bloody light, one could even identify the cultivation base of that fierce deity before death. The color of bloody light that body parts of late fierce deities who had formed two immortal chakras emitted was a bit lighter than those who had formed three immortal chakras.

The floor of Heaven of Light was covered with body parts of fierce deities. After counting it roughly, Zhang Tie found there were at least hundreds of late fierce deities here. If these fierce deities were still alive, anyone of them could become a superb powerhouse higher than human or demon emperors and topple over the entire Motian Realm.

However, at this moment, all the fierce deities had died like extinct dinosaurs, leaving their remains displaying their great power. Zhang Tie was lost in wonder.

To be honest, Zhang Tie didn’t know the purpose of the body parts of these fierce deities even now. However, it was his instinct to feel that these things could help him a lot, therefore, he teleported all of them into Castle of Black Iron.

After moving all the body parts of fierce deities into Castle of Black Iron, he moved the space ball of Motian Realm into Castle of Black Iron too...

When the space ball of Motian Realm entered Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie heard Heller’s tip immediately, “Castle Lord, a space ball has entered Castle of Black Iron. Do you want to integrate it right now?”

Zhang Tie wanted to agree; however, he immediately recalled that he encountered the Demon Overlord in the chaotic space when he left Motian Realm in the “dream”.

‘When I came to Motian Realm from Taixia Country, I didn’t encounter the Demon Overlord on the way. However, when I left Motian Realm for Taixia Country, I encountered the Demon Overlord. Why?’

‘If the Demon Overlord could completely control all the situations across the Chaotic Space, he should have already killed me when I came to Motian Realm for the first time. At that time, I was in the weakest state. If the Demon Overlord launched a strike at me at that time, he would have long killed me. On that occasion, even the former Dragon Emperor could not leave Motian Realm.’

‘Now that I could come to Motian Realm and the former dragon emperor could leave Motian Realm without any obstacle, it meant that the Demon Overlord didn’t know all the affairs in the chaotic space timely.’

‘If so, why did the Demon Overlord block me when I left Motian Realm?’

‘Something that happened in Motian Realm aroused the attention of the Demon Overlord or what I did in Deities’ Plain was transmitted to the Demon Overlord through some channels of demons’ and aroused the attention of the Demon Overlord. Otherwise, both reasons counted. If it was because of the first reason, the abnormal situations that lasted for half a month in Motian Realm caused by the integration of Castle of Black Iron and the space ball of Motian Realm must have aroused the attention of the Demon Overlord.’

As these thoughts occurred in his mind, Zhang Tie made a decision immediately.

“Heller, don’t integrate it for the time being. I will go back to Taixia Country first. No matter what, the space ball is already in Castle of Black Iron. Just a few years later!”

“As you wish, Castle Lord!”

Closely after that, Zhang Tie moved Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring into Castle of Black Iron too.

There was one proverb among Hua people——when one has good luck, he would have good ideas. There was also a term called being possessed by ghosts. They referred to two utterly different mental states which would lead to good luck or misfortunes.

After deciding not to have Heller integrate Castle of Black Iron with the space ball of Motian Realm, Zhang Tie suddenly felt relaxed. Soon after he moved Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring into Castle of Black Iron, he had got another whim, ‘Ordinary fruit trees would grow taller and bigger and bear more fruits with water. Now that that small tree in Castle of Black Iron is a tree, will it grow better with Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring?’

‘Plus those body parts of fierce deities. Now that the ashes of those demon knights’ bodies inside the Bloody Sacrifice Furnace are top-class fertilizers and could be used to cultivate Demon Spirit Tea, I wonder whether that small tree will grow better with the body parts of those fierce deities as the fertilizers?’

When this whim occurred to him, Zhang Tie became petrified immediately, because he realized that he had not provided any water or fertilizer to the small tree since he acquired it. He always picked off fruits from the small tree; however, he had not imagined that the small tree might have his own living necessities...

After swallowing his saliva forcefully for a short while, Zhang Tie tried to recover his composure as he asked Heller in mind, “Heller, what would the small tree change... if I water it with Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring?”

This time, Heller remained silent for more than 10 seconds before answering Zhang Tie calmly, “Castle Lord, you know that I cannot answer you some questions!”

After hearing Heller’s answer, Zhang Tie didn’t feel frustrated; instead, he became ecstatic in an instant and almost jumped up. Meanwhile, his heart raced. There were mainly two kinds of questions that Heller couldn’t answer, those about his cultivation and those about the triggering conditions of the fruits on the small tree.

The answers to the first kind of question needed Zhang Tie to explore. As for the answers to the second kind of question, it depended on his fortune. If he triggered the switch on bearing fruits, he would have fruits. Heller would never provide any tip or hint to him unless Zhang Tie took positive actions.

Over those years in the “dream”, Heller didn’t mention Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring at all. Neither did Zhang Tie ever think about the connection between Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring and the small tree...

‘F*ck, doesn’t it say that water could lead to the wood in the Five-Elements Earthly-Look Sutra that I cultivate? Why did I forget this simple law...’
