Castle of Black Iron

In the cultivation room of the airboat, Liu Xing’s heart pounded as he sat in front of Zhang Tie with crossed legs in an intense way. Zhang Tie sat behind him with crossed legs too.

Liu Xing was very nervous about preaching secret skills through enlightenment; especially a marquis secret method such as ”Fire Dragon Sutra”. Actually, he was more nervous than Zhang Tie. As a result, his whole body tightened.

”Recover your composure and focus on the place 10 cm deep into your forehead, relax yourself all over...” Zhang Tie started a secret skill in Soul Forbidden Method to make Liu Xing calm down mentally and spiritually.

In Zhang Tie’s opinion, as long as the cultivation of secret methods didn’t violate the universal laws by benefiting the cultivator at the cost of the others’ interests, secret methods were neither positive nor evil. It was a matter of human nature. If soul forbidden method was used for a positive purpose, it would be positive; if it was used for evil purpose, it would be evil. At this moment, Zhang Tie found that the enlightenment could see a better effect with the help of soul forbidden method.

After Lu Xing recovered his composure and was ready for enlightenment, Zhang Tie put one hand on the head of Liu Xing.

Liu Xing’s spiritual energy appeared in Zhang Tie’s mind in terms of a small golden mist like a pool in front of a sea.

Zhang Tie wanted to preach ”Fire Dragon Sutra” to Liu Xing once; however, when he thought that Bright Enlightenment Method posed a strict requirement to the spiritual energy of the one being enlightened, Zhang Tie gave it up.

With his spiritual energy, Liu Xing could at most accept the enlightenment of LV 10 and LV 11 contents in ”Fire Dragon Sutra”, mental arithmetic by abacus and the fundamental foot movements in ”Fire-Dragon Flowing Light Battle Skill for the time being. He could not cultivate ”Fire-Dragon Heavens Burning Spear Skill”, ”Fire-Dragon Golden Body” and ”Big Sun Fire Dragon Palm Skill” until he entered LV 10.

After making a decision, Zhang Tie started the enlightenment at once. In Zhang Tie’s mind sea, some occult consciousness gradually became brilliant runes. Closely after that, the rune flew out of Zhang Tie’s mind and directly entered a special region of surging points of Liu Xing’s brain from the top of his head. Then, the rune started to open like blossoms and integrate with Liu Xing’s consciousness at the same time.

In Bright Enlightenment Method, Zhang Tie was preaching a life and consciousness experience which was more profound and directer than words and images. Such a life experience surpassed the limit that could be expressed by words and images. Even an illiterate, a blind person and a deaf person could understand it immediately.

Three runes were preached into Liu Xing’s mind: the first one was the cultivation method of the LV 10 and LV 11 contents of ”Fire Dragon Sutra”; the second one was the fundamental foot movements of ”Fire-Dragon Flowing Light Battle Skill”; the third one was the mental arithmetic by abacus, which was renamed as Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra .

This process was very short for Zhang Tie as it was accomplished in less than 1 minute; however, it was a long process for Liu Xing.

After completing the enlightenment, Zhang Tie silently waited for Liu Xing to wake up in the cultivation room. At the same time, he observed Liu Xing’s response. According to the Bright Enlightenment Sutra , very few people who accepted the enlightenment of Bright Enlightenment Sutra would suffer from rejection response both physically and mentally before of poor spiritual energy and condition in enlightenment. Their spiritual energy would be disordered; in the worst scenario, their mind sea could break and they would not cultivate for the rest of their lives anymore. Therefore, the one who preached the enlightenment should guard him on one side. When he found the one being enlightened was in a perilous state, he had to pull the one who received the enlightenment out of that perilous state in the corresponding secret method of Bright Enlightenment Sutra as soon as possible in case of tragedy. This was one meaning of the role of master.

Under the silent gaze of Zhang Tie, Liu Xing spent 1 hour in digesting all the contents that Zhang Tie had imparted him before opening his eyes.

When Liu Xing opened his eyes, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside silently. After all, it was his first time to preach secret skills to his disciple through enlightenment. Although being aided by soul forbidden method, Zhang Tie was still worried about loopholes. Now that Liu Xing could wake up, it indicated that this enlightenment was successful. Of course, Zhang Tie became reassured.

The moment Liu Xing opened his eyes, he had seen Zhang Tie’s caring eyes. Closely after that, Liu Xing’s eyes turned red. Then, he kowtowed towards Zhang Tie three times, causing ”bang, bang, bang” before saying, ”Master, thanks for your secret skills, I feel like having a new birth!”

Liu Xing didn’t exaggerate. In Taixia Country, the expression ”feel like having a new birth!” could reflect the power and position of masters pretty well; especially the impartment of classic secret skills, the value of which was beyond measure.

”Ahem, ahem, stand up...” Zhang Tie coughed twice. Although he was Liu Xing’s master, they were almost peers. Watching the contemporary treating him so respectfully, Zhang Tie felt a bit embarrassed.

The moment Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Liu Xing had stood up gently and waited for Zhang Tie’s words respectfully.

”You can cultivate the LV 10 and LV 11 contents of Fire Dragon Sutra and the fundamental foot movements of Fire-Dragon Flowing Light Battle Skill diligently step by step as a good example. After you promote to a battle master, I will impart you with the remaining contents. Given your poor spiritual energy, I could only impart a part of contents to you each time!”

”Yes, master. This disciple will live up to your expectation and cultivate diligently so that I could promote to a battle master as soon as possible!”

Zhang Tie nodded as he continued, ”Although Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra looks simple, it’s effective and could bring you a lot of benefits. As the exclusive secret method of Iron-Dragon Sect, this secret method could improve one’s thinking and increase one’s spiritual energy. After you master it, you could grasp multi-tasking skill and increase your battle strength by 2 times. After promoting to a knight, if you have enough spiritual energy and mastered the multitasking skill, you could cultivate two times faster than others. This secret method has endless, marvelous effects. This master has benefited a lot from this secret method. Speaking of value, Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra could even match Fire Dragon Sutra , bear it in mind, bear it in mind...”

It was not inflated for Zhang Tie to treat Thousands of Beads Mentality Sutra as the exclusive secret method of Iron-Dragon Sect, because it was greatly different than the original mental arithmetic by abacus . On the basis of the original mental arithmetic by abacus, Zhang Tie added his gnosis, enabling the effect of mental arithmetic by abacus to increase by times constantly.

There was not such a method in the process of the cultivation of the original mental arithmetic by abacus . Zhang Tie gifted mental arithmetic by abacus to Huaiyuan Palace and Donder respectively as a meritorious service. According to Zhang Tie, Huaiyuan Palace and Gold and Power Law had arranged their kids and youngsters to cultivate this secret method so as to increase their spiritual energy. Zhang Tie confirmed that nobody could reach his realm through induction if not have an amazing spiritual energy and mastered the multitasking skill. Perhaps, someone could find the relationship between mental arithmetic by abacus and multitasking skill after a long while. However, in a short period, only Zhang Tie himself could grasp the secret of thousands of beads mentality sutra . In that sense, thousands of beads mentality sutra was indeed the exclusive secret method of Iron-Dragon Sect.

After having a brief talk with Liu Xing, Zhang Tie let him leave the cultivation room.

After Liu Xing left Zhang Tie’s cultivation room, he immediately entered a cultivation room which was specially prepared for disciples below knight level to polish their surging points to cultivate Fire Dragon Sutra . However, Zhang Tie called Bai Suxian into his cultivation room and had a secret talk with her.

”I will leave this airboat for a few days. During this period, just tell others I’m in cultivation. You should be responsible for everything in the airboat!”

”Sure, don’t worry!” Bai Suxian didn’t even ask Zhang Tie what he was going to do, which indirectly indicated that this woman was intelligent and charming. She then asked, ”Where should the airboat wait for you?”

”In Zhongzhou Province. You can stay in Zhongzhou City for at most 20 days in the name of replenishing supplies for the airboat. I might not come back in a couple of days!”

Bai Suxian asked, ”Do you need me to go there with you?”

”It’s a bit dangerous, additionally...” Zhang Tie immediately stopped. At the same time, he widely opened his eyes with an unimaginable look. Because he felt a familiar qi darting towards him from tens of thousands of miles away...

Although Zhang Tie’s knight’s consciousness was great and he had promoted to sage level, he could never sense what happened tens of thousands of miles away. The reason that he could sense it lay in that the thing had a telepathy with him——it was the thunder hawk that he released from Castle of Black Iron 4 years ago.

At this moment, Iron-Dragon Airboat had already entered the stratosphere and was flying at full speed. By contrast, that thunder hawk could fly two times faster than Iron-Dragon Airboat. It was absolutely a supersonic speed as fast as a lightning bolt.

”What’s wrong?” Bai Suxian asked when she found that Zhang Tie suddenly stopped talking with a weird look.

”...Additionally...additionally, if too many people went there, we might screw it up. I’d better go there alone!” Zhang Tie swallowed his saliva forcefully as he tried to calm down and finish his words...
