Volume Four, Volume 39, Chapter 17, Between Gains and Losses
The gateway to and from the Black Iron Castle?
Stars in the Realm of Soul Tribulation?
Zhang Tie was slightly stunned by Heller's words, and then he understood the meaning of Heller's words.
Zhang Tie suddenly remembered that since he ate the first Soul Tribulation Fruit, every time he ate a Soul Tribulation Fruit, it seemed that it was hidden on the archway leading into and out of the Black Iron Castle in his sea of consciousness.
There will be one more six-pointed star representing the creation of a new realm of soul calamity.
The first time he saw the extra six-pointed star on the magical arch representing the realm of Soul Tribulation, Zhang Tie thought it was very magical. However, after more than ten years, as he ate more and more Soul Tribulation Fruit, his mental power became stronger and stronger.
As he got stronger and stronger, it became easier and easier to enter and exit the Black Iron Castle. It was almost like breathing, and Zhang Tie gradually forgot about it.
Heller's words reminded Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie quickly looked inside at the magical archway in his sea of consciousness that led in and out of the Black Iron Castle.
Just like when I saw it for the first time, that simple yet gorgeous arch was still hidden in the deepest part of my consciousness. It was as quiet as before, seemingly waiting for Zhang Tie's arrival at any time, but it was different from what I saw for the first time.
What was different at that time was that more than 95% of the front of this magical arch was covered with six-pointed star patterns. These six-pointed star patterns set off each other, harmonious and profound, making this
The magical arch gives off a somewhat sacred and mysterious flavor.
Zhang Tie looked carefully and found that except for a small area at the head of the arch that had not yet been filled with those six-pointed star-shaped patterns, the entire front of the arch could no longer accommodate any more Soul Tribulation realms.
Would the back and sides of the arch work?
If you think about it on your knees, you know, of course it won't work. If it were possible, Heller wouldn't have said that just now.
After exiting the state of inner vision, Zhang Tie's mood was a little complicated. The past experience of eating those Soul Tribulation Fruits reappeared in his mind scene by scene. It took him a long time before he contacted Heller again.
He asked somewhat bitterly, "Heller, do you want to tell me that there are not many Soul Tribulation Fruits that the small tree can produce anymore?".
"Yes, Your Majesty the Fortress, just like the Innocent Fruit and the Iron-Embedded Fruit, the number of these fruits produced by the small tree is limited, and they do not grow endlessly. Originally, I thought the Fortress Lord had noticed this.
Question. I didn’t expect that the Lord of the Castle had forgotten this matter, so I just reminded him.”
Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, "As my mental power becomes stronger and stronger, I only need to use a trace of mental power to keep in touch with that magical arch. Every time I enter or exit the arch, there will be a slight vibration, like pressing a switch."
I just went in. Since I became a knight, I have used the Soul Tribulation Fruit less and less. So I didn’t notice that the Soul Tribulation Fruit was almost gone!”
"These fruits are the cornerstones and steps on the Lord's growth path. As the Lord becomes stronger and stronger, these fruits will eventually complete their mission!"
"Tell me an accurate number. How many Soul Tribulation Fruits can the little tree produce at most?"
"Only the last four left!"
"Four?"
Zhang Tie was stunned, sad, and finally calm.
The fact is the fact. Whether you accept it or not, it will not change. Since it cannot be changed, what else can you do except accept it.
However, Zhang Tie still had some inexplicable hopes.
"Can I delay the generation of these next few Soul Tribulation Fruits, for example, at the place and time I need?"
"The rules for generating the Soul Tribulation Fruit have not changed. At any time, as long as the castle owner takes the initiative to kill demons or monsters, the Soul Tribulation Fruit will be automatically generated!"
"It's a shame. If I had known this, I should probably have been more economical!"
"My Lord, do you think any of the Soul Tribulation Fruits generated in the past are unnecessary?".
Which one is unnecessary?
Zhang Tie thought for a while, and the answer is that each of those Soul Tribulation Fruits, up to now, has been generated by himself when necessary. The situation in which those Soul Tribulation Fruits were generated was either that he was attacked or that he was improving.
The inevitable choice on the path of strength and the generation of those soul-tribulation fruits are all inevitable on the path of one's growth. They are not chosen by oneself. Without those soul-tribulation fruits, I would not be where I am today. This question,
In fact, it's like a joke I heard about building a house before. Is it okay to just build the top floor instead of the bottom floor? Of course not! Without the strength accumulated by the previous Soul Tribulation Fruits, even if the whole world is placed in front of oneself, it will not work.
use.
Among all the Soul Tribulation Fruits, only the one I generated today was intentional. However, this intentional Soul Tribulation Fruit also brought me extraordinary and huge rewards, allowing me to possess Xuanyuan Zhi.
Qiu was in the realm of soul calamity, and he also had key information about his enemy.
Zhang Tie sighed in his heart, "Maybe it's because he suddenly found out that he was about to lose another fruit, so he became a little reluctant to give it up!"
"It may be a happy ending to have these last few Soul Tribulation Fruits play a role in Xuanyuan Hill. Originally, I planned to remind the castle owner if he didn't think of it before leaving Xuanyuan Hill.
The master took the initiative to generate a Xuanyuan Hill Soul Tribulation Fruit. The Soul Tribulation Realm of Xuanyuan Hill has extraordinary value. This Soul Tribulation Realm is simply a treasure house!"
"Treasure house, what do you say?"
"Don't forget, Lord Fortress, that the entire Xuanyuan Hill, except for the palace of the Emperor's Imperial City, which cannot be displayed in the realm of soul calamity, the rest of the entire Xuanyuan Hill, is open to the fortress owner as a place for human civilization.
The core and heart city, Xuanyuan Hill also has the largest Bright Library of the human race, as well as the headquarters of various trade unions of the human race. The books and materials stored in the Bright Library and the headquarters of various trade unions of the human race have been in the realm of soul calamity.
It is completely open to the Lord of the Castle, allowing the Lord to browse, study and retrieve at will. There may not be any top-level secrets among these things, but they are also very precious. Many of them are secrets and are rarely accessible to ordinary people.
It can be said that their value is not even inferior to many super secret books. In addition to these, a large number of national archives and documents accumulated in various power agencies of Taixia in the Imperial City are also open to the Lord of the Castle.
You can let the Lord of the fort take whatever you ask for. Based on this alone, the Lord of the fort’s trip to Xuanyuan Hill this time, even if there is no harvest, just with the fruit of this soul calamity, it will be a fruitful return.”
Heller's words made Zhang Tie suddenly wake up. The exploration in the Soul Tribulation Realm just now was interrupted by the arrival of Bai Suxian. Zhang Tie's mind was filled with the black mist of Taixia Palace, and he had not thought of this for a while.
On the first floor, when Heller reminded him, Zhang Tiecai suddenly took a breath of air and understood the value of this Soul Tribulation Fruit.
"In this case, if I create a Soul Tribulation Realm in a place like Taiyi Xuanmen, wouldn't I be able to browse all the secrets of techniques collected in Taiyi Xuanmen?"
"Theoretically, this is the case, but does the Lord of the Fortress think that the place where precious secret books are stored among the seven sects of Taixia will be the same as the Lord of the Fortress on Qianlong Island, putting those secret books in a building?
Secret books that are really stored in the building, secret books that do not require initiation and inheritance, how valuable will they be? Think about it from the perspective of the Lord, the Lord of the Castle is now the leader of a sect of the Iron Dragon Sect. Lord of the Castle, do you think you will transfer the secrets of the sect?
Are those precious secrets in the book stored in a building with an open fire?"
Heller's words made Zhang Tie think about it for a moment. Zhang Tie immediately rejected the idea because it was too stupid to put precious information and secrets in a building. Isn't that just looking for trouble?
Attracting others to commit crimes and robberies also creates a hard-to-defend target for the enemy. For knight-level masters, no matter how strong your building is, how strong can it be? Therefore, if you have space equipment, these precious buildings
It is best to keep secret books in space equipment and have them personally guarded by reliable people or even the sect leader.
The Taixia sect actually has one of its space equipments, which is the Xuanwu Secret Treasury of Blood Soul Temple. Among those large sects, as far as Zhang Tie knows, there are so-called elders who are keeping different secret books. Like
When the secret books were stored in a building on Qianlong Island, one reason was that the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang did not have much space equipment to use, and the other was that from the current perspective, those collected by Huaiyuantang for Qianlong
The secret books learned by the students in the hall are actually not very precious. More than 90% of the secret books appear to be a bit low-end after advancing to the level of warrior, war demon, and war spirit. Some of them are not bad.
Precious secret books, in the eyes of advanced knights, are just ordinary. The most precious secret books of Huaiyuantang, such as the "Broken Sun Scripture", are not placed on Qianlong Island.
The Soul Tribulation Realm is inherently virtual, so it cannot simulate the effects of space equipment. All the things in the space equipment cannot be detected in the Soul Tribulation Realm.
If placed in some special environment to generate the Soul Tribulation Fruit, such Soul Tribulation Fruit will be of great use, but if you want to do this, then unless you have to be a turtle and refrain from killing from now on, otherwise, you will
As soon as the generation law of the Soul Tribulation Fruit is touched, the Soul Tribulation Fruit will be generated automatically and is not under your control at all. Now during the holy war, the situation in Taixia is becoming more and more weird and dangerous, with undercurrents surging. Even if I want to do something without killing,
How long can the turtle with its shrunken head last?
Therefore, it is difficult to keep the last few Soul Tribulation Fruits for a long time. Instead of wasting those few Soul Tribulation Fruits on some unimportant occasions and scenes, it is better to let them exert their maximum value in Xuanyuan Hill.
This heartland of the human race has become the final realm of soul calamity for me. Let those few soul calamity fruits help me eliminate the serious troubles in my heart and the cancer hidden in Taixia.
Because their existence comes to a perfect and meaningful end.
Thinking like this, Zhang Tie slowly felt relieved.
Sure enough, nothing comes without a price, and nothing can be perfect.
Love is like this, life is like this, and the fruit of a small tree is like this.
After understanding this, Zhang Tie smiled bitterly and said to Heller, "What other fruits are going to be gone soon? Heller, please give me a warning first, so as not to make it difficult for me to get up and down again."
"The Lord of the Fortress just doesn't want to think about it. I believe that the Lord of the Fortress himself should also feel that some of the fruits may be gone soon!"
Zhang Tie was silent for a moment, "The result of the trial?".
"Yes! After killing those people on Jin Quan Dao's flying boat, Lord Castle Lord's Fruit of Judgment was generated. The effect of these Fruits of Judgment will remove Lord Lord Castle's Divine Rune skills.
Except for the Mirror Image Clone Technique, all others have been upgraded to the Master Level. After that, once the Lord's Mirror Image Clone Technique advances to the Master Level, the Fruit of Judgment will no longer be generated!"
After the God Rune skills brought by the Judgment Fruit began to reach the master level, and the powerful clone technique appeared, Zhang Tie had already felt that there might not be any new Judgment Fruit.
, Zhang Tie felt much calmer after hearing Heller's personal confirmation.
These disappearing and about-to-disappear fruits reminded Zhang Tie of the eagle that slowly grew up from the eagle's nest. One day, the grown eagle will leave the eagle that once sheltered it from the wind and rain.
The nest began to flutter its wings and fight against the sky, smiling proudly at the wind and clouds.
I am the eagle, and the little tree is the eagle's nest that smiles and watches me grow up...
It’s just that there are not many Soul Tribulation fruits left and cannot be wasted. How to deal with that formidable enemy needs to be carefully planned. I must make other preparations...
…
With this in mind, after staying on the balcony for a few minutes, Zhang Tie quietly returned to the room, finished washing silently, glanced at Bai Suxian, who was sleeping soundly, and then left the room without saying a word...
What Zhang Tie didn't know was that just after he left the room and quietly closed the door, two lines of tears quietly flowed down the face of Bai Suxian, who was sleeping soundly... (To be continued...)
