'As the saying goes, one has to pay the price.'
Zhang Tie had a deeper understanding about this sentence at once. Previously, he only thought about stabilizing himself in Motian Realm at the fastest speed with the help of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; he even gained more resources. However, he had not imagined that he had to pay and bear a lot when he stood on that platform and enjoyed so many conveniences and benefits brought to him by that platform.
It was time for him to pay the price.
Zhang Tie didn't even know what Star Emperor would do after knowing Zhang Tie's background given his gloomy temperament.
'Although it feels cool to refine and absorb the chakras of demon immortal generals gifted by Star Emperor Immortal Palace, as long as Star Emperor knows that the so-called return of Dragon Emperor is just a trick that Star Emperor and Star Emperor Immortal Palace have been fooled by me from the beginning to the end, I'm afraid that the result would not be pleasant.'
'Would Versatile Demon Emperor expose my background to the other immortal emperors?'
Zhang Tie didn't know. Because Versatile Demon Emperor had the initiative. Even if Versatile Demon Emperor didn't expose his background to the other immortal emperors, now that Versatile Demon Emperor knew it, it was already the worst thing. It meant that Zhang Tie couldn't show up in the identity of Dragon Emperor and the successor of Dragon Emperor anymore.
'If I couldn't return to Dragon Emperor Big Domain and show up in the identity of Dragon Emperor, where could I go? What should I do?'
When Zhang Tie thought about what would happen in the future, he became a bit confused.
This was also a normal human mentality and reaction. A person who was still the Emperor the day before yesterday, had unlimited resources, and could use his connections to intimidate others at any time, had to give up his identity overnight. He would no longer be able to enjoy the benefits and conveniences that he had enjoyed before. Moreover, he was being hunted everywhere and could only conceal his identity and hide. Anyone would be at a loss and at a loss at such a time.
As his identity and situation changed too fast, he could barely adapt to it in a short period.
However, Zhang Tie was Zhang Tie. If it was someone else, he might still feel sorry for himself and be restless. However, it only took this teenager who rose up from the grassroots in Blackhot City a short while to forget all the negative emotions and thoughts as he became spirited once again.
'I've gained the secret knowledge of Grand Dragon Emperor aboveboard. Undoubtedly, I'm the successor of Grand Dragon Emperor. Additionally, who else in Motian Realm is more qualified to inherit Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace than me?'
'Yes, I cheated them; but so what? My meritorious deeds to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could never be denied. If I didn't appear, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might not exist anymore. After I appeared, I exposed the conspiracy of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and left Dragon Emperor Medicament to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. What I've done is worthy of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.' Even though he had some tricks as the Dragon Emperor, he had never used the identity of the Dragon Emperor to bully others. He had a clear conscience.
'Even though I couldn't return to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, it's not a big deal. Because I came to Motian Realm naked, I'm just a bachelor. I'm just returning to that state. I won't lose anything.'
'As for the future, as long as I could promote to an immortal emperor, even if I returned to Dragon Emperor City aboveboard and claimed to be Dragon Emperor, who could deny it?' Who wouldn't be convinced? 'If not, I could just beat them into submission.' 'As long as I promoted to an immortal emperor, the position of the Dragon Emperor would belong to me. I could also ensure the existence of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. In the final analysis, it all boils down to battle force.'
'Now, after getting rid of the shackles of the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, I could regain my freedom. Isn't it better?' 'It turns out that absorbing and forming chakras in the backroom beneath Jiaotai Palace is cultivation. When I travel freely in Motian Realm, I could see powers, local customs, secret methods and rarities in Motian Realm and deal with the powers of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace and Demon Emperor who wanted to kill me. It's also cultivation. If I want to be a real unrivaled power, why should I be afraid of all these?'
When Zhang Tie thought about it, he gradually revealed a faint smile.
Now, it was more important to find a place to settle down and think of a way to heal his injuries …
After thinking it through, Zhang Tie didn't feel frustrated anymore; instead, he felt free once again as he swam more pleasantly in the ocean …
Most of the living beings in this ocean were as same as those in the world where Zhang Tie came from.
As Zhang Tie swam rapidly in the ocean, he saw shoals of colorful fish and shrimps, crown-sized jellyfish, colorful aquatic plants, ferocious sharks, various odd aquatic animals, even powerful aquatic beasts.
After being saved by sea turtles and sand-scaled fish, Zhang Tie felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at these aquatic creatures.
The ocean was Zhang Tie's territory. His secret method of Great Wilderness Sutra, his waterproof body and his powerful Infinite King Roc Sutra could restrain all the other aquatic animals. Therefore, he had the supreme authority in this territory.
In water, as long as Zhang Tie released a bit of his qi, even the most powerful and ferocious mutated beasts would be more docile than kittens at home. They would even fawn on Zhang Tie like lackeys.
According to the memory of his substitute, Zhang Tie swam all the way here rapidly. Only after over 1 hour, he had already deepened tens of thousands of meters into the ocean. Finally, he found the target that he was looking for …
It was a shoal of giant grass whales in the ocean.
A shoal of grey-blue grass whales was swimming leisurely in the kelp woods tens of thousands of meters deep at the bottom of the ocean. There were over 30 grass whales, the smallest of which was longer than 100 m. All the other grass whales were longer than 500 m. The two largest grass whales were even longer than 1,000 m.
Zhang Tie caught sight of those grass whales; however, they didn't see him.
At the sight of these grass whales from afar, Zhang Tie became thrilled …
An over 100 m long grim sea serpent as thick as a gasoline barrel blocked Zhang Tie's way. There was a cockscomb-like bone crown on its head. Given its qi, this sea serpent had reached LV 17. It was definitely a sea serpent king.
This sea serpent king was very sensitive to changes in the water. Even though Zhang Tie was completely transparent, this sea serpent king could still sense Zhang Tie's movement in the water. This sea serpent king was startled as it instantly coiled up and swam towards Zhang Tie. Although it couldn't see Zhang Tie, it had already prepared to attack Zhang Tie …
Zhang Tie slightly released a bit of his qi, and the sea snake king, who was going to attack him, became soft all over at once. It didn't even dare to escape. In the water, it immediately turned over its belly and remained motionless.
Zhang Tie ignored it as he continued to swim towards the shoal of grass whales in his sight.
After sensing that Zhang Tie didn't want to do anything to it, that sea serpent king which had some intelligence started to swim towards Zhang Tie. At the same time, it started to show off its long body. It swam as fast as a lightning bolt in the water; in the next moment, it threatened the surrounding small fishes and shrimps. It seemed that it wanted to recommend itself to ride on Zhang Tie's mount in case Zhang Tie had to swim too hard in the water.
Zhang Tie almost showed the whites of his eyes, 'Look at me, how could I ride on such an eye-catching mount? Do I feel that Versatile Emperor couldn't find me? Piss off, and don't tell others that you've met me in the water …'
After sensing Zhang Tie's will, that coquettish sea serpent king swam away while looking back for a few steps. It dared not harass Zhang Tie anymore …
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had come to the front of the shoal of grass whales. In the water, those grass whales were like collapsed skyscrapers and underwater airboats.
Zhang Tie selected a 600-m longer grass whale and sent his spiritual energy to it. Closely after that, the grass whale opened its mouth. In a split second, a powerful swirl with strong suction had formed in front of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie then dove into the huge mouth of the grass whale along with a huge amount of seawater. Closely after that, the grass whale closed its mouth.
Zhang Tie rushed into the huge mouth of the grass whale along with the surging seawater and slid all the way down like a waterfall. In a split second, he came to the first stomach of the grass whale.
It was a huge space whose length, width and height were higher than 20 m. Like a huge reservoir, it was close to the esophagus of the grass whale. Above that space, there was a closed pipe whose diameter was longer than 1 m, which led to the back of the grass whale. That was the blowhole of the grass whale …
This was the first stomach of the grass whale.
Very few people knew that whales had four stomachs like cattle. The first stomach was the granary of the grass whale.
When huge whales ate food, they barely chewed it; instead, they swallowed it at once and sent all the food into the first stomach for storage. After that, they spurted the surplus water out of the blowhole above it. As for the food, they would keep it in the first stomach. When they wanted to eat it, they would send the food from the first stomach to the next stomach.
The first stomach of the grass whale was very clean. It was surrounded by pink, smooth and wrinkled stomach walls. Besides seawater, there were mostly long seaweeds outside, some small fishes, shrimps and all kinds of strange things. Those small fishes and shrimps were still swimming at the bottom of the stomach pool.
The moment Zhang Tie arrived here, the pink stomach wall of the grass whale had squirmed while the surplus seawater was squeezed out of the blowhole above it in a split second …
After throwing a glance at this place, Zhang Tie finally knew why some people could still survive 2 days after being swallowed by a common huge whale. This place was simply like a room in the water.
There were some white shells longer than 1 m in this stomach, which were swallowed by the grass whale on purpose. When the grass whale suffered from indigestion, it would send some big shells into its stomach so that these shells could rub and squeeze the food together with it so as to promote digestion …
Zhang Tie directly came to a big shell and sat down with crossed legs. Closely after that, he closed his eyes and started to sleep …
What Zhang Tie needed most now was to take a rest so as to recover his vitality …
As Zhang Tie hid in the whale's stomach, who could find him?
Therefore, this place became the safest place.
