Therefore, Zhang Tie left as fast as he could. After exiting the mountain cave, he looked at the direction of the deep valley. The deep valley was in an east-west direction. It seemed that he could go either way. However, when Zhang Tie thought of Dawson, he asked himself, "If Dawson came down here to find me, which side would he go to?"
After thinking about this question for 2 seconds, Zhang Tie recalled the general topography of this deep valley that he had seen when he fell down. The mountain ranges on both sides of the deep valley were higher in the west and lower in the east. If Dawson came down here, he would definitely choose to come down from the east. In case of encountering Dawson again, it would be a good choice to go west.
After thinking it through, Zhang Tie rushed towards the west without any hesitation.
Zhang Tie didn't know the road here. He just followed his instinct. In such a narrow valley, he only needed to run forward. After a short while, he had already been over 6-7 km away from that mountain cave. At this distance, the valley became vigorous once again. It was covered with dense grasses and woods, unlike that near the mountain cave. Due to the encroachment of demon rats, besides some ponds, all the other places were barren.
After moving forward in the valley for 1 hour and about 40-50 km away from that mountain cave, it gradually turned dark. Zhang Tie caught sight of a large patch of vines on the cliff in front of him, which were covered with purple flowers. There were many depressions and cracks among the purple flowers. Therefore, Zhang Tie ran over there.
Zhang Tie climbed up the patch of vines deftly. When he was over 10 m above the ground, Zhang Tie found a depression on the cliff, which was as high as 1 m and 7-8 m in depth. It was covered with a large patch of plants with purple flowers. It was clean inside. After climbing in here, Zhang Tie entered Castle of Black Iron.
...
Zhang Tie was right. The mountain cave was indeed not a good place to stay for long. Less than 40 minutes after he left the mountain cave, Dawson had appeared there. After coming there, Dawson raised his head and looked at the net-like vines on the cliff, then at the huge ponds below. His face turned gloomy at once.
Especially when he found so many dead demon rats in the huge pond where Zhang Tie was, his face turned worse.
He fished out a devil rat from the pond and looked at its scars carefully. Then, he smashed it into the pond forcefully. He also saw the cave and rushed in without hesitation.
Over ten minutes later, when Dawson came out of the cave, apart from his terrible expression, his eyes flickered with a strange glow.
Dawson also chased after him towards the west...
…
The moment Zhang Tie entered Castle of Black Iron and caught sight of Heller, Heller had revealed a smile, "I've not imagined that Castle Lord could have such a great achievement in the mountain cave. Congratulations!"
Zhang Tie knew that Heller was talking about the "Great Wilderness Sutra". In Hua people, any book with the word "sutra" in its name was not ordinary. After coming to an absolutely safe place, Zhang Tie's heart started to burn.
As the seven-strength fruits were on the small tree and would not run away, Zhang Tie didn't worry about that. After greeting Heller, Zhang Tie came to the study of the two-storey cabin. That black wooden box was lying quietly on the table in the study.
Although his hands were a bit dirty, when he opened the wooden box, Zhang Tie still cleaned his hands solemnly.
The moment Zhang Tie opened the cover of the Great Wilderness Sutra, a piece of paper fell onto the ground from the title page. Zhang Tie became stunned as he picked it up.
"Forty years ago, my Great Wilderness Sect was famous across the Eastern Continent for its animal controlling skill. Among hundreds of millions of humans, there were thousands of schools and numerous animal controlling skills. However, my Great Wilderness Sect's secret skill was the most mysterious one among all the animal controlling skills. Many heroes admired it. However, the Great Wilderness Sect declined. Today, I'm the only one wandering outside the Great Wilderness Sect. I'm going to die in the blink of an eye. However, my enemies are still missing. The Great Wilderness Sect has no hope to recover. I'm so regretful!
Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate!
The place where my bones are buried is a barbarian place. Those who could acquire the Great Wilderness Sutra are destined ones. However, the soul-based animal controlling skill recorded in the Great Wilderness Sutra is actually a supreme secret method of incarnation of human beings in far-ancient times. With this method, one could seize the fate of the universe. Therefore, it couldn't be easily exposed to others. Our Great Wilderness Sect flourished and perished because of it. When Great Wilderness Sect flourished, it dominated hundreds of millions of miles in the south border of the Eastern Continent like a peerless dynasty. When Great Wilderness Sect failed, it suffered a great change overnight. Tens of thousands of fellow disciples and hundreds of years of foundation of our sect were annihilated in the blink of an eye like duckweed. All of these were caused by this Great Wilderness Sutra.
If you want to be rich after acquiring this top treasure of Great Wilderness Sect, you could learn the secret skill of Great Wilderness Sutra and travel across the world as a common animal controlling master. By then, you could be treated as a VIP in all the human countries or major clans. By then, you could easily gain wealth and social status. However, you could not expose the foundation of Great Wilderness Sutra; otherwise, you would be killed for sure. The force that exterminated the Great Wilderness Sect was extremely powerful and merciless. They could easily slaughter cities and exterminate entire clans. In order to get the Great Wilderness Sutra, those people had already lost their minds. If they knew that the Great Wilderness Sutra had appeared, they would definitely kill you.
Although the Great Wilderness Sect had been exterminated, its prestige was still outstanding in the south border of the Eastern Continent. Over hundreds of years, it had a lot of followers among the hundreds of millions of mountains in the south border of the Eastern Continent. If you want to dominate a region and become a king, you could seek opportunities in the south border of the Eastern Continent in the future. However, this trip would bring you great profits and great risks.
Therefore, you have to consider it yourself. I found a nest of dozens of demon rats in the valley. I've already subdued them. They have not given birth to a rat king yet. I've fed them with a secret medicament. This nest of demon rats would definitely give birth to a rat king in the future. If you could learn the soul-based animal controlling skill in the Great Wilderness Sutra, you could use that rat king as your substitute to command all the other rats.
As a mutated species, the demon rats here were ferocious, cunning and powerful. If there were over 1 million of them, they would be unstoppable. However, the reproduction rate of demon rats could not be compared with that of common rats. Previously, I wanted to train demon rats here and improve their reproduction ability so as to serve as the foundation for reestablishing the Great Wilderness Sect in this uncivilized place. However, after training them here for over 20 years, I still didn't make any progress. I'm afraid that I could not fulfill my wish. It seems that everything is the will of the God.
Therefore, I will not say anything more. The soul-based animal controlling skill would consume a great amount of qi, blood and the essence of the soul. Although this skill was very miraculous and made people immersed in it, they should not be indulged in it; neither should they casually use their soul to control animals. If they consumed their own essence, they would court death. When the Great Wilderness Sect was in its heyday, it had collected over 1 million books, including numerous classics and secret manuals, many of which contained methods for strengthening one's essence and strengthening one's essence. Additionally, there were piles of rarities and secret medicaments in the Great Wilderness Sect. Based on these conditions, it could make up for the consumption of the soul-based animal controlling skill. Now that the foundation of the Great Wilderness Sect was destroyed and everything was plundered by others, I have to be more prudent if I want to use this skill.
I've said all that I want to say. The one who could acquire the Great Wilderness Sutra must be smart and moral. Now that this far-ancient human Dao doesn't disappear from the world, I could finally rest in peace in the netherworld.
That's the masterpiece of Cloud Crane, the unworthy disciple of the Great Wilderness Sect! "
After reading this piece of paper twice, Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh as he knew the cause and effect of this event. Zhang Tie could never imagine that he could meet a disciple of the Great Wilderness Sect on the Eastern Continent here; additionally, he could get the Great Wilderness Sutra. Besides the God's will, there was no other explanation for this.
However, Cloud Crane probably did not expect that the nest of Devil Rats that he had subdued, although he did not know how many generations it took for them to develop to such a scale, he was sorry to say that all the Devil Rats had been killed by him. He was afraid that it was impossible to subdue them.
However, Zhang Tie became thrilled after hearing Cloud Crane's thought of using demon rats. In a split second, Zhang Tie understood that it was feasible to make demon rats mutate and evolve using the ability of Castle of Black Iron. However, there seemed to be two problems.
The evolutionary direction of living beings in Castle of Black Iron was random and uncontrollable. Even if a demon rat completed its evolution, its reproductive ability might not be strengthened; instead, it might be weakened. The more powerful an animal was, the weaker its reproductive ability would be. This was the balance rule of the universe and the foundation of all species. It could barely be broken.
Additionally, given the growth cycle of demon rats and the possible cost of making them mutate and evolve, it would definitely be an astronomical figure. Zhang Tie could not afford it. It was too stupid for him to make such an investment only for some rats which were a bit more powerful than demon rats when he might gain nothing for dozens of years. By contrast, earthworms and Seabuckthorn which had a relatively short growth cycle and a strong reproduction and species spreading ability were what Zhang Tie needed most.
After thinking it through, Zhang Tie forgot about the demon rats as he fixated onto the "Great Wilderness Sutra" once again.
The two words "Soul-Based Animal Controlling Skill" and "Incarnation" made Zhang Tie excited.
After opening the Great Wilderness Sutra, Zhang Tie was shocked by the first sentence.
— — Humans are the heart of the universe; everything is the body of the universe!
As he opened the Great Wilderness Sutra one page after another, a wonderful world that Zhang Tie had never imagined gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
Even Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could become an animal controller even though he had always dreamed about being an alchemist. He had not even seen the shadow of an alchemist before becoming an animal controller, a secret "Great Wilderness Sutra" of the Great Wilderness Sect in the south border of Eastern Continent...
