On the second day, it started to manifest on Zhang Tie's body.
Of course, as it was in his mind sea, nobody else could sense such a change except Zhang Tie himself.
In Zhang Tie's mind sea, a wholly new mysterious space was being opened under the swirling golden mist of spiritual energy like the Milky Way with Zhang Tie's cultivation.
Previously, Zhang Tie's mind sea was empty except for that golden swirl of spiritual energy. However, with the guidance of the secret skill of "Great Wilderness Sutra", Zhang Tie felt that a lamp was lit in his mind sea. Being illuminated by this lamp, those unknown places in the dark gradually became clear. At the same time, the entire space of his mind sea expanded.
After the space expanded, the original swirl of spiritual energy became like the Milky Way hanging in the sky. In the mysterious realm below the swirl of spiritual energy, a bronze primitive pagoda was rising from the ground.
Each time Zhang Tie recited the mysterious incantation, some tadpole-like mysterious runes would appear in his mind sea out of the void. Closely after that, those runes would integrate into the pagoda one after another like the materials of the pagoda. As a result, the pagoda gradually grew taller and taller.
In this kind of Foundation Establishment cultivation, there was no concept of time.
Zhang Tie didn't know how long he had been in trance. He just followed the steps of the "Great Wilderness Sutra" by forming the pagoda foundation seal and reciting the endless true words of "Great Wilderness Sutra". At the same time, he was visualizing those tadpole-like mysterious runes in his mind like a diligent ant. He tirelessly carried on with his work, feeling the earth-shaking changes taking place in his sea of consciousness. He watched as the quaint pagoda slowly appeared and grew taller and taller.
Although it was a hard process, Zhang Tie was full of pleasure. He didn't feel tired at all.
Nobody would complain about having too many skills, not even Zhang Tie. Not to mention that it was interesting to be able to control wild beasts. Therefore, Zhang Tie was very happy about it.
...
After a while, when Zhang Tie finished reciting the endless true words of "Great Wilderness Sutra" for the 300,000th time, the pagoda in his mind sea suddenly quivered slightly and stopped growing at a stroke. At the same time, the golden swirl of spiritual energy which was always hovering above the pagoda started to roll heavily. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie's mind sea became dark. Closely after that, a lightning bolt flashed across his mind sea. At the same time, Zhang Tie's mind sea became bright, causing him to quiver all over. Right after that, the milky river-like swirl of spiritual energy suddenly sprayed light spots like a drizzle. After being bathed, the pagoda became more brilliant at once. Zhang Tie had never seen such a thing before. Various bizarre grains and patterns of insects, fishes, birds and beasts started to radiate light as they appeared on the surface of the pagoda one after another. Closely after that, they disappeared.
The entire pagoda had five sides and was 21 floors tall. Bathed in the light rain formed by the Mental Energy, every side of the pagoda on every floor would show various strange animal images every second. Only when the light rain stopped did the pagoda regain its ancient and heavy feeling. However, amidst this ancient and heavy feeling, there was a faint layer of golden light circulating within the pagoda, which made the pagoda seem even more dignified and mysterious.
After accomplishing all this, Zhang Tie had almost consumed half of his spiritual energy. He carefully sensed the All-spirits Pagoda in his mind sea which represented that he had started to cultivate the "Great Wilderness Sutra". He felt that this pagoda was much taller than the All-spirits Pagoda described in the "Great Wilderness Sutra". Additionally, the body of the pagoda was almost solid in his mind sea. It was not as illusory as described in the secret book, which indicated that the body of the pagoda was mostly light and shadow.
Zhang Tie didn't know what it meant. After sensing the consumption of his spiritual energy, he felt that it might be caused by his powerful spiritual energy. Therefore, he didn't care about it. If it were commoners, dozens of people would have consumed up their spiritual energy. How could they complete such a high degree of foundation building in one go?
...
Sitting under the small tree, Zhang Tie opened his eyes once again as he saw tens of thousands of bees circling around him and the small tree in a clockwise direction. He had never seen such a scene before.
At this moment, these bees were very happy. A very definite thought occurred to Zhang Tie's mind. However, after this thought occurred to him, Zhang Tie became stunned, 'How could I know that these bees are very happy at this moment?'
Scratching his head, Zhang Tie felt that the "Great Wilderness Sutra" was really unimaginable.
At this moment, Hai Liao came over with a mysterious light in his eyes, "Castle Lord, have you completed your foundation building?"
"Yes, what's wrong with these bees?"
"Since two days ago, these bees suddenly flew over here by themselves. It might be related to Castle Lord's cultivation of foundation building!"
"Oh, I see!" Zhang Tie calculated the time and realized that it should be about the time when he formed the All-spirits Pagoda in his mind sea. It seemed that the Great Wilderness Sutra said that the All-spirits Pagoda could connect with all the spirits.
When he glanced at Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie felt a sense of familiarity with the grasses and woods in Castle of Black Iron. Everything became vivid. Zhang Tie found that his perceptive ability seemed to have improved one more step.
Not knowing why, the moment he thought about the ability of the All-spirits Pagoda, Zhang Tie recalled those things such as TV towers and antennas which were used to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals before the Catastrophe. Of course, besides transmitting and receiving signals, based on people's understanding about towers in this age, the basic ability of towers was to form field energy, gather and compress energy. This ability was most evident in pyramids. However, other towers also had this ability.
Zhang Tie moved his body as he walked down the small tree. He then asked Heller, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"
"I've long prepared it for you, Castle Lord!" Heller replied with a smile...
After Zhang Tie got off the tree, the bees around the small tree completely dispersed...
...
On the next morning, Zhang Tie left Castle of Black Iron with two javelins which could be used as short javelins. After that, he reappeared in the crevice behind a patch of vines.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The sun had just risen. Everything in the secluded valley had just woken up. Pulling a vine, Zhang Tie slid down from the crack. After taking two deep breaths of the moist and fragrant air in the secluded valley, Zhang Tie ran towards west.
'I've stayed in Castle of Black Iron for over 10 days. I wonder whether Dawson has left or not. If he hasn't, heh... heh... '
Zhang Tie smiled as he ran, which contained a terrifying, chilly smile.
...
Two days later, in the evening, near a Buckthorn wood on a grey hill...
When the sun was going to set, Zhang Tie picked some dry Buckthorn twigs and found a leeward place. After that, he lit a fire and started to cook supper.
When the fat of iron-teeth hyena fell onto the bonfire, the fragrance of the wild potatoes under the bonfire had already drifted over. Zhang Tie crushed the juice and pulp of the Buckthorn and poured them over the meat of iron-teeth hyena. This was the method that he learned in Kurgan Village to deal with the meat of iron-teeth hyena. It was said that it could remove the fishy smell.
After doing all this, he took the short spear beside him and used it to dig the wild potatoes out of the fire. He held one in his hand and blew the ash off the potato skin while he quickly switched the potato between his two hands. He was filled with the joy of harvesting.
Plus those iron-teeth hyenas that he had hunted today, the 3rd iron-teeth hyena seven-strength fruit on the small tree in Castle of Black Iron had become ripe.
As he could eat fruits, of course, Zhang Tie was in a bad mood.
Especially at this moment, he was roasting the bonfire in the wild, enjoying the evening breeze, eating potatoes and roasted meat. When it was dark, he could even find a piece of grassland and watch the stars. Everything was so clear. If there were no so many things to deal with, Zhang Tie felt that it was actually not bad to live like this without any restraint.
The potatoes were very fragrant and hot. Zhang Tie ate them as he blew on them. The moment he ate half a potato, Dawson had appeared on the hillside over 60 m away in front of him.
Watching Zhang Tie who was roasting the fire and eating potatoes, Dawson's eyes flashed with a bizarre light.
Zhang Tie also caught sight of Dawson; however, he just raised his eyelids and threw a glance at Dawson like watching a common iron-teeth hyena. After that, he continued to blow the potatoes in his hand and enjoy them peacefully.
At the sight of Zhang Tie's look, Dawson's heart pounded. He looked around with a dubious look. After confirming that nobody else was around, he let out a sigh and slowly moved closer to Zhang Tie.
When Dawson was about 30 m away from Zhang Tie and confirmed that Zhang Tie could not escape from him anymore, he finally became reassured.
"Brat, I will see what tricks you can play this time. You should be proud of escaping from me twice. However, don't think about the third time!" Dawson revealed a grim smile.
Watching Dawson's cautious look, Zhang Tie sneered, "What? You've become less daring after a few days! Why don't you dare come closer? "
