After killing the young master of Heavens Reaching Church, figuring out the reasons behind the tragedy in Fuhai City and unveiling the identity of the one who had the deepest malice towards him among the top 9 ministers of Taixia Country, Zhang Tie felt as relaxed as waking up from a nightmare.
Previously, the enemy was in the dark while Zhang Tie was in the light. He could only be schemed by the enemy and almost died. Now, the enemy was in the light while Zhang Tie was in the dark. Therefore, Zhang Tie's mentality became utterly different.
After returning to the airboat for a few days, Zhang Tie became completely relaxed and started to review his experiences since he came to Taixia Country over these years. Therefore, he sighed with emotions about Bai Suxian.
That was Zhang Tie's heartfelt words and the result of his self-reflection these days.
Hua sages said that one should reflect on oneself three times a day. Zhang Tie knew that he couldn't do that; however, he could do it once in 4 years.
Over the past 4 years, everything in Taixia Country was like watching flowers on horseback. Everything just passed by him. However, Zhang Tie was involved in a big swirl unconsciously and had to flee for his life.
Zhang Tie was reflecting deeply, 'How could this happen? How could I almost lose my reputation, break up my family and kill myself after coming to Taixia Country? '
After reflecting on the painful experience, Zhang Tie found that everything happened too "fast".
The "fast" didn't refer to the speed of time; instead, it referred to Zhang Tie's life state, the rhythm of fate and a deep feeling after coming to Taixia Country.
Only the prey being chased by its natural enemy would run fast.
This "fast" was a kind of helplessness that could not be controlled.
The "fast" referred to the fear of not being able to control one's fate;
The "fast" referred to the confusion that blinded one's wisdom;
Zhang Tie fought for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Huaiyuan Palace; counterattacked the Gobbling Party; inflicted heavy losses on the Heavens Reaching Church; resigned from the position of the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province; went to Fuhai City to pick up the bride; however, Zhang Tie was forced to flee for his life...
'Everything happened very fast. In such a "fast" state, I didn't have time to think about it. I gradually lost the ability to control my own destiny. After coming to Taixia Country for 4 years, I was still a stranger in Taixia Country. Everything around me almost slipped into the dark abyss. '
"Fast" was not good. "Slow" was to take the initiative. "Slow" would give him time to think. "Slow" would allow him to clearly see the people and dangers around him. "Slow" would allow him to take the initiative and regain control of his own fate.
"Slow" meant calmness. Calmness was a kind of realm, and only the controller could be calm.
Looking at the rabbits and lions that lived on the grassland at the same time, one could compare the two life states of "Fast" and "Slow."
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie realized that he was not only "fast" when he was in Taixia Country. Since the holy war broke out and he was involved in the holy war in Waii Subcontinent, he had been in such a "fast" state. By contrast, before the holy war broke out, he gained Castle of Black Iron in Blackhot City and Hidden Dragon Island. During that period, he lived the most fulfilling and happiest life.
"Fast" was the state of a rabbit; "Slow" was the state of a lion. "Slow" was very dangerous. It's time for me to slow down and enter the "Slow" state.
In such a feeling, Zhang Tie's mentality grew increasingly better these days. He became more and more sunny and leisurely. He gradually figured out many things in the future and figured out his future path.
The first thing that Zhang Tie figured out was his way to promote to a higher level in cultivation.
From then on, element crystals, which were extremely precious to other knights, would be useless to him in cultivation. The reason was simple — — compared to the effect of Purgatory Samsara Method, the efficiency of forming chakra provided by element crystals was still too low.
Taking his earth chakra as an example, 90% of the time spent on absorbing element crystals and spiritual energy was spent on forming his earth chakra. Actually, it was only 10% effective for him to form his earth chakra.
By contrast, if he only spent 10% of the time and spiritual energy on Purgatory Samsara Method, the effect of Purgatory Samsara Method on forming his earth chakra was almost 90%.
One was twice the effort for half the result; the other was twice the result for half the effort. The difference between the two was too great.
Any knight's time and spiritual energy were limited. Therefore, in this state, Zhang Tie could only allocate his time and spiritual energy to the most effective place. The emperor-level sutra required a terrifying amount of resources. Only Purgatory Samsara Method could match King Roc Sutra perfectly.
Zhang Tie even felt that it was too slow to absorb element crystals, not to mention absorbing element crystals in the Elements Realm in secluded cultivation. In such a way, the effect would be lower and it would cost him more time. According to a popular saying among Hua people before the Catastrophe, the two cultivation methods were both "backward production methods".
After abandoning the two "low efficiency" methods of cultivation, Zhang Tie found that he was free from the state of cultivation that he had to race against time. He had more free time and became more "idle".
In the state of being "free", Zhang Tie could flexibly control and allocate the extra time. He could use this time to improve his understanding of various battle skills and secret methods, accompany his family members or travel in Taixia Country. He would definitely gain something.
Through the combat with Strong Cloud Hermit Nangong Sheng, the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect, Zhang Tie deeply felt that it was not easy for him to make further progress after reaching the realm of earth knight. He could not make any achievement only by cultivating behind closed doors.
The second thing that Zhang Tie thought through was that he could expose the fact that Cui LI was his incarnation to the public.
By exposing the fact that Cui LI was his incarnation, it was equal to exposing the secret that he had body-changing immortal bloodline and his ability to imitate the effect of other secret methods. Sometimes, being low-key was a wisdom; sometimes, a sharp weapon could also frighten powerful enemies.
Now that Gold and Power Law knows that Zhang Tie is Peter Hamplester, even if Gold and Power Law doesn't know that Zhang Tie has body-changing immortal bloodline, the one who wants to kill Zhang Tie the most should know that Zhang Tie has mastered a powerful disguising method. Now that the one who wants to kill Zhang Tie has already guessed it, it's meaningless for Zhang Tie to keep this trump card a secret from others...
'Besides me, who else in this world could guess the accessory effect of King Roc Sutra? There're so many secret methods in the world. If I really want to expose it to the public, I only need to find an excuse to confuse others.'
Zhang Tie had long prepared for the latter part. His excuse was that he had mastered a secret skill called "Chaotic Treasure Body". As long as he mastered it, all his surging points would be in a "fake dark" state. As long as he had a complete secret method, he would be able to light those surging points once again and imitate the effect of a certain secret method. As this ability was brought by King Roc Sutra, even if Zhang Tie had others check the status of his "Chaotic Treasure Body", his secret would not be exposed at all.
'If the combination of body-changing immortal bloodline and Chaotic Treasure Body is exposed, those people who want to frame my family and Huaiyuan Palace must be terrified. Even if they could uproot Huaiyuan Palace, as long as I'm alive, they would have to live in fear and tension forever. They have to be prepared for my revenge at any time. Nobody would like to live such a life.'
'There are falsehoods in truth; there are truths in falsehoods. This is the best concealment.'
After thinking through these key points, Zhang Tie made a deep self-reflection about his gains and losses during the past 4 years in Taixia Country. Closely after that, Zhang Tie became completely relaxed and entered a leisurely state. He really slowed down and started to control his own direction …
…
Lying on Zhang Tie's side quietly, Bai Suxian listened to Zhang Tie's gentle and powerful heartbeat. In such a heartbeat, Bai Suxian seemed to have heard Zhang Tie's unspoken melody and seen Zhang Tie's mentality over the past 4 years …
Zhang Tie watched the clouds in the distance while Bai Suxian watched Zhang Tie. However, they didn't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable; instead, they had a tacit understanding. At this moment, Bai Suxian really felt that she would like to stay with this man in the sky for the rest of her life.
In such a tranquility, the frolicking noises from the swimming pool on the other side of the airboat became clearer.
"Can you write a love poem for me?" Bai Suxian suddenly opened her mouth.
"Love poem? I can't!" Zhang Tie scratched his head.
"Liar, where did you get that" Beloved Ones "?"
"Beautiful lines are made by Heaven, and it is only by chance that the hands of a genius come across them!"
Zhang Tie's words made Bai Suxian burst out into laughter. She reached out her hand and scratched Zhang Tie's face, "I've not found that you're so shameless. No matter what, I want you to write a love poem for me."
"Fine, I will write one then!"
Bai Suxian became serious at once. After clearing his throat, Zhang Tie recited a short and concise love poem with perfect articulation and perfect articulation.
"Our hearts are like a mine of emotions.
Love is gold.
Hatred is iron.
If a man doesn't know how to turn his wife into his mistress,
It's the evidence that he's vulgar and incompetent! "
After hearing this line, Bai Suxian became stunned for a second. After tasting it carefully, she found it had a rich aftertaste. Additionally, the charm of this poem resonated with the relationship between her and Zhang Tie. Watching Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian was very moved as her eyes were watery. She asked tenderly, "Did you write it?"
"Hehhehheh, I've read it!"
Soon after Zhang Tie finished his words, a flock of hundreds of white swans had flown over the airboat in a team, chirping cheerfully.
Iron-Dragon Airboat was only over 4,000 m away from the ground at a very low speed. The flock of swans was even higher than Iron-Dragon Airboat. At the sight of the flock of swans, Bai Suxian instantly pulled Zhang Tie up from the reclining chair and ran towards the front of the airboat deck, "We've arrived at Xuanyuan Hill..."
