Chapter 1575: Gold Sage and Silver Sage

As for Yun Zhongzi, since the extermination of Great Wilderness Sect, he had been bearing the humiliation and the heavy burden while cultivating in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect alone. In order to reinvigorate the sect, the entire meaning of his life was to cultivate and grow stronger.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Tie’s words were a great wallop against him.

Before meeting Zhang Tie, Yun Zhongzi couldn’t imagine that someone in this world didn’t want to make further progress after promoting to a sage-level knight. Zhang Tie was really a freak!

As for Zhang Tie, cultivation was just for a better life; instead of growing stronger. Zhang Tie’s opinion completely reversed Yun Zhongzi’s life philosophy and world view.

“Head, don’t you want to grow stronger?”

“What do you mean by growing stronger?” Zhang Tie refuted, “In this age, the sage-level knight is the strongest. Therefore, I feel it would be great when I promote to a sage-level knight. I only need to be more powerful than the other sages, humans or demons. I don’t need to care too much about others. Even if there’s much greater power behind demons, so what? Have demons or humans perished after two holy wars? Have we seen any power above sage-level knight on the battlefields? Therefore, even if there’s a power above the sage-level knight behind demons, I guess the use of the special power must be limited to many aspects. Demons couldn’t use it for free. Otherwise, holy wars would not have lasted for so many years. Over these years, even though that power was helping demons, it didn’t enable demons to acquire an overwhelming advantage over humans. That’s the point! Therefore, I could neglect it. As for now, which one do you think is the largest threat facing Taixia Country, the power above sage-level knight or the demon army on the west bank of Weishui River? Undoubtedly, the answer is the second one. As long as the number of human sage-level knights is two times more than that of demon sage-level knights, we would be able to solve the problem. High-level power doesn’t suit all situations…”

When Zhang Tie realized that he couldn’t get any fruit from the small tree by killing demon knights, he had guessed that there might be a greater power behind demons. This guess once made Zhang Tie restless in a period. However, after a few years, Zhang Tie had been gradually used to it. He had understood that he didn’t need to fear about it even if there was a greater power behind demons. The existence of this greater power was utterly different than fully displaying it in front of humans. He only needed to deal with the power displayed by demons.

It was similar to the sun in the sky. Although the sun was very powerful and to a certain degree very perilous as the surface of Sun could even vaporize steel and sage-level knights due to its high temperature. So what? Although sometimes the hot sun could cause drought and high temperature even various abnormal climates, that was all that the sun could present its power to the secular world. It didn’t matter if you couldn’t deal with the powerful sun, and it would be fine if you could deal with the greatest power that the sun presented to you.

Although the sun was powerful, it was also limited to the universal laws as it could only rotate in the fixed orbit. In this world, every power would be restricted. As long as you didn’t lose your mind wanting to fight the sun in its orbit and splitting it into two halves, sometimes, its threat could be resolved only by an umbrella, an ice cake or a bowl of iced sour plum soup. No matter what you did, the sun wouldn’t bite you, right?

This was Zhang Tie’s life philosophy.

Through reading the Secret Code in Peaceful Times , Zhang Tie confirmed that there might be some deities, real men and immortals behind demons. However, now that those powerful civilizations could be replaced by modern civilizations, there must be deep reasons. Even though Zhang Tie was weaker than them, it didn’t matter as he only needed to handle the threat facing Taixia Country and humans. Being similar to the sun, the powerful existences would also face the constraint of powerful rules, which was always the universal law.

As long as Zhang Tie recovered his power and promoted to a sage-level knight, all the problems would be resolved.

At least now, Zhang Tie didn’t find what he couldn’t resolve after promoting to a sage-level knight. If there was, plus his ability as a divine dominator and the power of the small tree.

Even though Yun Zhongzi didn’t agree with Zhang Tie, he could also sense his great confidence through Zhang Tie’s words.

“However, there are indeed higher realms above sage-level knight. We shouldn’t evade it as knights.”

“I’m not evading it. I’m just facing reality. We don’t have the road leading to that realm, neither do demons have I think. Even there is, it might not be that easy to reach that realm. If the realm couldn’t be duplicated, it could only be a legend. When far-ancient civilizations cascade like waterfall one level after another, causing sharp differences between energy levels of civilizations, there must be deep reasons and greater rules on its back. Anyone would be trivial in front of such a power or rule. I don’t repel that realm; I also want to reach a higher place. One day, if that road could appear in front of us and enable every sage-level knight to further ascend, of course, I would have a try like what others do. However, it was too unrealistic for me to pursue that realm. It’s nothing different than wasting time. It’s meaningless to do that. If I’m already a sage-level knight, the most meaningful thing for me is to exit here and tell the others that we’re going to reinvigorate Great Wilderness Sect tomorrow!”

“Head, you might be right. However, the meaning of my life is to grow stronger than the sage-level knights of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion. I would not give up…” Yun Zhongzi said decisively as he lowered his head and watched the cup of spirit, “After this thing comes to an end and head takes over the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion would definitely find me trouble. I would go to the realm of deities where I might get a bit chance to improve my battle strength. If I could break through the sage-level knight before you promote to a sage-level knight, I would come back and reconstruct Great Wilderness Sect aboveboard. By the way, I would sweep over Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion and cleaned up all the forces that once joined the action in exterminating Great Wilderness Sect…”

‘Realm of Deities?’

It was Zhang Tie’s second time to hear it since he heard that his master Alchemist Demon Zhao Yuan was going to the Realm of Deities.

“Realm of Deities, what’s that?” Zhang Tie asked Yun Zhongzi out of curiosity.

“Realm of Deities is a mysterious and perilous land in the Earth-element Realm. It’s said that it’s the ruins and battlefield of far-ancient civilizations. Until today, there’re still numerous sites and traces of battles between powers tens of thousands of years ago according to the secret information in the Great Wilderness Sect when it existed. It’s said that many things of far-ancient times are left in the realm of deities, which might contain the clues on how to break through sage-level knight. However, that place is too precarious. Those who could enter it are at least heavenly knights!”

“Are there many powerhouses over there?”

“It’s said that the sage-level knights of the top sects of Taixia Country and many heavenly human knights usually enter the Realm of Deities. Besides, even heavenly demon knights and sage-level demon knights could always be seen there!”

“What if you met the sage-level knights of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion over there? Isn’t it dangerous?”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s question, Yun Zhongzi revealed a confident smile, saying, “Head, as long as you promote to a sage-level knight, you would know that it’s very difficult for a sage-level knight to be killed by another sage-level knight. Each sage-level realm is a powerful asylum like what you see now. If I was besieged by three sage-level knights, I might not defeat them; however, I could escape and they could barely stop me!”

“If so, take care of yourself. Oh, if you met Alchemist Devil Zhao Yuan in the Realm of Deities, avoid conflicts with him!”

“Alchemist Devil Zhao Yuan?” Yun Zhongzi frowned as he seemed to know who was Zhao Yuan, “What’s the relation between you and him, head?”

“He’s my master!” Zhang Tie said frankly. It was not a big deal for Zhang Tie to expose this secret to Yun Zhongzi. After all, they were both rivals of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion now. Zhang Tie replied straightforwardly, “When I was in Waii Subcontinent, before promoting to a knight, I had already known him and become his apprentice. You’re the first one who knows the relation between Zhao Yuan and me!”

After knowing Zhang Tie’s “secret”, Yun Zhongzi nodded seriously as he said, “Realm of Deities is very large. It’s almost impossible for two strangers to meet each other there. However, don’t worry, head, if I met him, I would never break out conflict with him!”

“That’s fine!”

Yun Zhongzi then remained silent. After waving his hands towards the sky, the two destructive boas as long as 100 m instantly broke the fog in the sky as they flew towards Yun Zhongzi and Zhang Tie.

“The two boas are sacred items of Great Wilderness Sect. They were found here together with the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. They always guarded the Dongtian. Barbarians in South Border who knew a bit of the history of Great Wilderness Sect once called them destructive boas due to fear. Actually, we call them gold sage and silver sage in Great Wilderness Sect. As the Dongtian had been exposed to the public and I’ve already promoted to a sage-level knight, it’s useless for them to continue to stay here with me. From now on, the gold sage and the silver sage would follow head as good helpers…”
