Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 420

Chapter 420
The gesture, the sutra and the illusionary, mysterious strength gradually took effect on Zhang Tie on the 2nd day .


　
Of course, the manifested content was in Zhang Tie's mind which could not be sensed by others .

In Zhang Tie's mind, a whole new mysterious space swirled like a milky-way under mist of golden spiritual energy with Zhang Tie's meditation .

In Zhang Tie's mind, previously it was all empty except for that golden swirl of spiritual energy; however, under the guidance of the secret knowledge of the "Great Wildness Sutra", Zhang Tie saw a lamp in his mind . As a result, those unknown land in the darkness gradually became clearer, expanding the space in Zhang Tie's mind .

Soon after the space in his mind was expanded, his swirl of spiritual energy started to hang in the sky like a milky way while a bronze, classical pagoda was rising straight from the ground in that mysterious territory under the swirl of spiritual energy .

Each time Zhang Tie finished reciting that mysterious sutra, he would have some tadpole-like mysterious runes out of the void . Those runes then merged in that pagoda one after another . Like the materials of the pagoda, they became a part of that pagoda and enabled the pagoda to rise higher .

In such a meditation of foundation, the concept of time became vague .

Zhang Tie didn't know how long had he entered meditation . He only made a gesture and recited the 7-word true words of the great wildness repetitively; meanwhile, he was visualizing the tadpole-like mysterious runes . Like a diligent ant who kept working inexhaustibly, he was sensing the ground-breaking change in his mind and watching the classic pagoda gradually rising higher .

Although it was a painstaking course, Zhang Tie was filled with pleasure inside .

Skill was no burden! Nobody would disguise about having one more skill, including Zhang Tie . Furthermore, it seemed to be very interesting and useful to control wild beasts . Therefore, Zhang Tie was immersed in it .



. . .

When he finished reciting the true words of the great wildness for 300,000 times, he felt a slight shock of that pagoda; closely after that, the pagoda stopped its growth; meanwhile, the swirling golden spiritual energy above the pagoda started to roll heavily . In a split second, Zhang Tie's mind went dark and turned bright like a lightning bolt flashed across . With a thunder-like boom in his mind, Zhang Tie quivered all over at once . After that thunder, the milky-way like swirling spiritual energy suddenly scattered into fine sparkling light-spots and fell on the pagoda . After such a bath, the pagoda looked more glamorous at once . At the same time, various eccentric decorative patterns of insects, fishes, birds and beasts started to glitter and appear on the pagoda before fading away .

The pagoda had 5 facets and 21 stories . After the special bath, each facet was manifesting various images of animals . Until the glamorous rain incarnated by his spiritual energy stopped and the pagoda recovered to its classic and chunky look . Additionally, a layer of golden light was rolling in the pagoda, making the pagoda more magnificent and mysterious .

After completing this, Zhang Tie had consumed about half of his total spiritual energy . He carefully sensed the all-spirits pagoda in his mind which represented that he started to cultivate the "Great Wildness Sutra" . He felt that this pagoda was much higher than that in the book . Additionally, the body of the pagoda looked like a firm solid; instead of an illusionary image after the completion of the foundation of the "Great Wildness Sutra" as was described in the book .

Zhang Tie didn't think too much about this difference . He only took it as a result of his strong spiritual energy . Actually, the spiritual energy that he had consumed was equal to that of dozens of people in total . How come a commoner complete such a foundation at once?

. . .

Sitting below the small tree, Zhang Tie opened his eyes once again . At this moment, tens of thousands of bees were circling around him and the small tree in the clock-wise manner . Zhang Tie had never seen this before .

"These bees look very happy . " Zhang Tie thought at once . After that, he became stunned, "But, how do I know that?"

Scratching his head, Zhang Tie felt that the "Great Wildness Sutra" was truly amazing .

Heller walked towards Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes, "Castle Lord, have you finished the foundation?"



"Yup, what's the matter with these bees?"

"They've already been here 2 days ago . It might be related to your cultivation of the foundation!"

"I see!" Zhang Tie recalled and found it was when he formed the all-spirits pagoda in his mind . "According to the book, all-spirits pagoda and all the living beings could sense each other . It's seems true . "

Zhang Tie took a look at the grasses and woods in Castle of Black Iron and felt an unknown friendliness . All the living beings became vital in Zhang Tie's eyes . Zhang Tie felt an improvement in his sensing ability once again .

Not knowing the reason, the moment Zhang Tie thought about the all-spirits pagoda, he had remembered those TV towers and antenna which were used to emit and accept electro-magnetic signals before Catastrophe . He forced a smile inside at once . Certainly, according to people's recognition, besides emitting and accepting signals, they were at least sure about one thing——the basic functions of towers was to form field energy, gather and compress energy . Pyramid was a representative .

Zhang Tie relaxed his arms as he walked downstairs from the platform . "Is there anything to eat? I'm too hungry!" Zhang Tie asked .

"I've long prepared it for you, Castle Lord!" Heller smiled . . .

After walking downstairs, Zhang Tie saw those bees flying away . . .

. . .

On the second morning, Zhang Tie left Castle of Black Iron with 2 short javelins and reappeared in the crack being covered with vines on a cliff .

The sun had just risen up . Everything in the serene valley also seemed having just waken up . Pulling a vine, Zhang Tie slid off the crack nimbly . After breathing the fresh air which was mixed with moisture and the fragrance of grasses and woods, he ran westwards .

"As I have stayed in Castle of Black Iron for over 10 days, I wonder whether Dawson has left this valley or not . If not, Heh . . . Heh . . . "

Zhang Tie revealed a chilly smile as he was running .

. . .

2 days later, at dusk, nearby a Buckthorn wood on Grey Hill . . .

The sun was going to set off while Zhang Tie had picked up some dried Buckthorn twigs and was setting a fire at a leeward place to cook his supper .

When the hind-leg flesh of iron-teeth hyena dropped its oil onto the bonfire, the fragrance of those wild potatoes had long drifted in the air . Imitating those villagers in Kurgan village, Zhang Tie crumbed the Buckthorn juice and pulp of Buckthorns and sprayed the on the flesh . He was told that by doing this, he could sweep the fishy smell .

After doing this, he picked up his short javelins to dig out some wild potatoes from the bonfire . Holding one, Zhang Tie blew the ash off its skin while changing it between two hands rapidly; meanwhile, his face was filled with the pleasure of harvest .

Plus those iron-teeth hyenas that he hunted today, the 3rd iron-teeth hyena's seven-strength fruit on the small tree might have grown ripe

Thinking of the latest fruit, of course Zhang Tie felt pretty good .

Especially then when he was sitting beside the bonfire, enjoying the night breeze and eating potatoes and roasted meat . When the night fell, he could put his arms under his head and lay on the grassland to watch stars . Everything was that pure . If not so many things to deal with, Zhang Tie really thought it was a free way to live the rest of his life .

The roasted potatoes were hot and tasted good . Zhang Tie kept blowing it as he was eating . However, Dawson appeared on the hillside over 60 m in front of him like Zhang Tie's shadow when Zhang Tie only ate half of that potato .

Watching Zhang Tie eating his roasted potato beside a bonfire, Dawson's eyes gleamed weirdly .

Zhang Tie also saw Dawson, but he only raised his head to glance at him like peering at a common iron-teeth hyena . After that, he continued to blow and eat his potato .

Seeing this, Dawson who was preparing to walk closer felt his heart pounding at once . Being suspicious, he looked around carefully . After ensuring that nobody was in the surrounding, he let out a sigh and slowly moved closer to Zhang Tie .

When Dawson was about 30 m away from Zhang Tie, he was sure that Zhang Tie could never escape this time . Therefore, he finally recovered his composure .

"Brat, I will see what else tricks can you play this time . You should be proud enough of escaping away twice from me; however, never dream about the 3rd time!" Dawson grinned hideously .

Seeing Dawson's meticulous look, Zhang Tie sniggered, "What? How come you become so timid? Why not move closer?"
