After staying in Castle of Black Iron for over 40 days and taking over 50 King Kong fruits and two fruits of redemption from the gratitude of spike shrimps, his explosive strength increased by two times once again, not to mention the baptism of the two 1,200-ton huge gold locks, his strength and spiritual energy had improved once again. However, with the strength and realm of 7 change realm of the heavenly knight, Cui LI couldn't be matched by the former Cui LI.
It was no exaggeration to say that Zhang Tie had entered an unprecedented peak state after leaving Castle of Black Iron. This was also the process on the road of a powerhouse. The so-called powerhouses were those who constantly reached another peak from one peak state.
The distance from the bottom of Motian Realm to Mountain Ruins was about 300,000 miles. Zhang Tie had already passed this distance once before. If Zhang Tie flew at his full speed as a divine dominator, it would only take him a few hours to reach that distance. However, now that Zhang Tie wanted to pretend to be a "harmless" heavenly knight, he just slowly flew towards Mountain Ruins at the speed of a heavenly knight.
Of course, the speed of about 1,000 m per second was as slow as a snail for Zhang Tie; however, in the eyes of the other immortal generals, it was already a very fast speed.
Theoretically, if Zhang Tie didn't eat or drink, he could reach the bottom of Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer in 4 days. Actually, most of the heavenly knights couldn't do that. Because such a "high speed" flight would consume a great amount of battle qi. Except for freaks like Zhang Tie who could constantly gain battle qi by cultivating King Roc Sutra and didn't worry about running out of battle qi in such a flight, heavenly knights who cultivated other secret methods had to consider the consumption of their battle qi at all times in such a long-distance flight.
As for many heavenly knights who prepared to enter Mountain Ruins for the first time, it would take them at least 10 days to reach the bottom of Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer if they didn't eat or drink on the way. Actually, most of the heavenly knights couldn't do that. Because such a "high speed" flight would consume a great amount of battle qi. Besides freaks like Zhang Tie who could constantly gain battle qi by cultivating King Roc Sutra, heavenly knights who cultivated other secret methods had to consider the consumption of their battle qi at all times in such a long-distance flight.
As for many heavenly knights who prepared to enter Mountain Ruins for the first time, the process of breaking into Mountain Ruins was a tough test in itself. Zhang Tie flew leisurely.
Zhang Tie flew leisurely. After entering the higher air zone which was over 10,000 miles above Skyscraper, the scenery in front of his eyes became open in a split second. At this height, there was nothing but chilly wind in the sky. There was no airboat or floating mountain here. Additionally, immortal generals below heavenly knights could not reach this height by flying wings. The undulating cloud sea became a boundless white carpet, covering all the regions below, large or small.
The moment Zhang Tie entered the high-level air zone, he felt entering another world. Besides loneliness and chilly wind, there was nothing else in the sky.
After entering the high-level air zone, Zhang Tie started to control his flight speed like what the other wind immortal generals did. He divided his time into two parts each day. In the first part, he maintained the speed of 1,000 m per second; in the other part, he lowered his speed to over 200 m per second so as to "recover his physical strength".
If he wanted to enter Mountain Ruins, he had to repeat this boring and monotonous flight process constantly.
After doing this, Zhang Tie believed that Versatile Demon Emperor couldn't recognize him even if it flew by him.
…
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that he could fly to the bottom of Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer alone; unexpectedly, on the 5th day after he entered the high-level air zone, a partner appeared in Zhang Tie's vision.
In the beginning, that person was flying at the speed of over 200 m per second from hundreds of miles away. As for an immortal general, such a high speed was equal to resting and recovering his physical strength. What was more, that person was circling in the air; instead of flying upwards, he was flying horizontally.
Zhang Tie caught up with him. When he caught sight of that person, that person also caught sight of him. In the beginning, Zhang Tie didn't care about that person; however, after catching sight of Zhang Tie, that person changed his flight route and gradually approached Zhang Tie.
'Is this a trap of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace? But it's impossible. Through the effect of soul-washing pills, my shrine and those surging points on my spine have been mixed with a wisp of congenital energy. That little thing created by Versatile Demon Emperor couldn't sense me anymore; neither could it wait for me here in advance …'
After a few whims flashed across Zhang Tie's mind, Zhang Tie continued to fly towards Mountain Ruins quietly. Meanwhile, he paid attention to that person.
Given his qi, he was also a heavenly knight. Given his look, he was also a sage-like heavenly knight. However, he wore a colorful robe which looked like a beggar's ragged clothes. Additionally, he had a pitch-black hairpin on his head. Additionally, this old man's eyesight made Zhang Tie feel too smart … it was like … Donder's eyesight when he was lying on the deck chair outside the door of the grocery and watching the passers-by on the street …
"Ahem … ahem … I wonder whether this friend is also going to enter Mountain Ruins …" The old man flew over 1,000 m away from Zhang Tie as he kept a "safe distance" between two strange heavenly knights and Zhang Tie. Additionally, he asked Zhang Tie in a secret way on his own initiative.
"Right, I'm heading for Mountain Ruins …" Zhang Tie said in a muffled voice after throwing a glance at the old man.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence. I'm also heading for Mountain Ruins. If you don't mind, we could go there together. We could take care of each other on the way …" the old man said as if he was familiar with Zhang Tie.
As Zhang Tie couldn't figure out the old man's intention, Zhang Tie didn't open his mouth; instead, he just kept flying.
Finding that Zhang Tie remained silent, the old man seemed to have recalled something as he revealed a smile. "Ah, do you think I'm a shadow demon? I've not imagined that you're so meticulous. It's good to be meticulous. If you're meticulous, you won't be cheated. If you mistook me for someone else in Mountain Ruins, you might lose your life …" the old man said as he took out a magic probe which was used to detect the bloodline of shadow demons across Motian Realm from his sleeve. In front of Zhang Tie, he pricked his finger, squeezed out his blood and smeared it onto the magic probe. After finding no response from the magic probe, he told Zhang Tie, "Friend, you should believe that I'm not a demon now …"
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Tie just watched this old man's performance silently. It was Zhang Tie's first time to see such a person using a magic probe to prove his innocence. Zhang Tie felt a bit confused. However, he was very similar to those salesmen of commercial firms or cheats near railway stations. The moment they talked with each other, they would immediately prove their innocence so as to make you reassured and trust them.
To be honest, this was not a smart trick.
However, it still made Zhang Tie feel weird when a heavenly knight behaved like that in front of a person whom he had just met.
"Well, I believe that you're not a demon …" Zhang Tie opened his mouth in a muffled look as if he was innocent and stupid, "But I was told that the magic probe couldn't detect the Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Don't cheat me …"
"You know Golden-Soul Rune Virus?"
"What? Can't I know it?" Zhang Tie glared at the old man.
"Ahem, ahem, I don't mean that. I mean, now that you know Golden-Soul Rune Virus, you must know that Emperor NvWa's Palace and the two immortal palaces have already developed an item that could detect Golden-Soul Rune Virus a few days ago. However, I don't have that item now. Therefore, I couldn't prove it …" The old man shrugged as he said helplessly.
Zhang Tie didn't open his mouth as he kept flying upwards. The old man also kept flying upwards with Zhang Tie. The old man's speed was not much slower than that of Zhang Tie when he started to fly. He could also cover almost 1,000 m per second.
As they flew, the old man kept glancing at Zhang Tie's sturdy body and face as he rolled his eyeballs. Nobody knew what he was thinking about. After flying silently for over 10 minutes, the old man opened his mouth once again when he found that Zhang Tie didn't drive him away, "Oh, my surname is Jiang. My first name is Hu. May I know your name, my friend?"
After throwing a glance at the old man, Zhang Tie didn't answer him right away. It seemed that he was still "vigilant". After a few seconds, Zhang Tie replied, "I'm Cui LI!"
"Hahaha, younger brother Cui LI, you're a hero!" After knowing Zhang Tie's name, Zhang Tie had become the "younger brother" of the old man. Closely after that, the old man continued with a solemn look, "Younger brother Cui LI, your figure could even match that of ox-headed demons. Younger brother Cui LI, don't blame me for being talkative. I'm born to make friends. Younger brother Cui LI, don't worry that I'm a bad guy. I'm famous in Iron Cloud Medium-sized Domain. Younger brother Cui LI, if you have any friends in Iron Cloud Medium-sized Domain, you could inquire about me and whether I'm cheating you …"
