Chapter 1666: The Legend about Mountain Ruins

“Where…where did you get these things from?” Ji Yuelan stammered as she looked at Zhang Tie after a few seconds of silence.

“Star Emperor Immortal Palace used these things to acquire Zi Clan Castle. I read this information from the brains of the young master of Zi clan in Heavenly Square Building. That day, after killing those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace in Zi Clan Castle, we found it inconvenient to take them back due to their weight. Therefore, I had Liu Yong and Liu Meng transfer them to a pond inside Zi Clan Castle. As space-teleportation equipment is available today, Liu Yong and Liu Meng have got them back!”

Zhang Tie said as he stroked his nose. The contents of his words were partly true. In fact, Zhang Tie saw these element crystals by his lotus flower eyes instead of from the brains of the young master of Zi clan. At that time, these boxes were put in a back room of Zi Clan Castle. After seeing them, Zhang Tie had Liu brothers move them into the pond. However, nobody doubted it because it sounded reasonable. If Zhang Tie told them the truth, they might be shocked.

“No wonder you visited young brother’s room in the early morning like thieves…” Ji Yuelan understood it at once.

After clapping his hands to arouse their attention, Zhang Tie took out two space-teleportation finger rings. Then, he took out a lot of items from one of the two finger rings which included vials of pills and a long sword which was a silver secret item, saying, “Besides the eight boxes of element crystals, we’ve gained three space-teleportation finger rings, a nice long sword and some nice vials of pills. As for the other smaller ones, I would not take them out. Let’s share them…”

“You want to share them with us?” Jiang Ruoxin asked as she took a deep glance at Zhang Tie.

“You bet. These are our booties. Of course, we got to share them…” Zhang Tie smirked.

Jiang Ruoxin then shook her head as she threw a glance at those element crystals and the three space-teleportation finger rings, saying, “You found these things. As I’ve not spared any efforts on it, I’d better not share them with you…”

“Alas, I see. You’re afraid of being involved in this case. No matter what, these things belong to Star Emperor Immortal palace. Suppose Star Emperor Immortal Palace dispatch people here for us…” Zhang Tie sighed as Liu brothers moved their eyes on Jiang Ruoxin at the same time, making the atmosphere in the room weird at a stroke.

“I don’t mean it; I just…” Jiang Ruoxin hurriedly explained.

“If you want to share our booties, stay here; if you’re afraid of being involved, you have the freedom to leave. The door is over there. I’m not gonna force others to share the risk with us. Trust me, if Star Emperor Immortal Palace got to us, I would keep the secret for you…”

Jiang Ruoxin became hesitant for a second. After taking a glimpse at Ji Yuelan, she sighed and stayed in the room quietly.

The atmosphere in the room finally recovered. Zhang Tie then revealed a smile as if he had made a successful trick. Clapping his hands, he said, “That’s got to be you. We should share booties and risks together!”

Jiang Ruoxin threw a glare at Zhang Tie.

“How do you want to share these things?” Zhang Tie asked them.

“Ha, these things are all discovered by you. We brothers just went errands for you. We take your order!” Liu Meng said as he hardly moved his eyes away from the element crystals, sucking his saliva. Although Liu brothers were otherworldly, they were not greedy either. They would be satisfied if Zhang Tie distributed hundreds of element crystals to them. To be honest, the two brothers didn’t spare too many efforts in Zi Clan Castle besides killing some b*stards and guards. They were already thrilled after knowing that Zhang Tie would share booties with them.

“I agree. I will take your order…” Ji Yuelan said as she watched Zhang Tie with a curious look. Compared to Liu brothers, Ji Yuelan was more interested in Zhang Tie’s way of distribution than how many element crystals could she get.

“Well, I will make a decision then!” Zhang Tie said as he picked the middle one among the three finger rings, which looked a bit more senior and had larger space than the others. This space-teleportation finger ring belonged to that shadow knight also the water immortal general of Star Emperor Immortal Palace whom Zhang Tie had killed. “This space-teleportation finger ring, this long sword and this box of water element crystals belong to me!”

When he spoke, Zhang Tie directly put the long sword and one box of water element crystals into the finger ring.

After that, Zhang Tie threw one space-teleportation finger ring to Liu Yong, saying, “This finger ring and the four boxes of earth element crystals belong to you brothers. You could share them!” Zhang Tie then threw another space-teleportation finger ring to Ji Yuelan, saying, “This finger ring, two boxes of earth element crystals and one box of water element crystals belong to you and Jiang Ruoxin. You will share them…”

In Motian Realm, two earth element crystals could be exchanged for one water element crystals. After taking away his share, Zhang Tie distributed the rest into two pieces, one for Liu brothers, the other for Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan. As the space-teleportation finger ring could barely be shared, Zhang Tie had them tackle it themselves.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had shared the booties with them. After that, he found that the four people stayed still and watched him, he then shrugged and said, “What? Don’t you like it?”

“Do…do you want to give this space-teleportation finger ring…and the four boxes of earth element crystals to us…” Liu Meng stammered as he watched Zhang Tie in an unbelievable way.

“Not enough?”

“Enough…enough…” Liu Meng flushed as he hurriedly wove his arm, adding, “It’s…it’s too much; too much…”

“Ha, forgot about it! If a mountain of element crystals are in front of you, you would be scared to death!” Zhang Tie forcefully slapped Liu Meng’s shoulder, adding, “Well, move…”

After exchanging a glance with each other, Liu brothers directly put the four boxes of earth element crystals into the space-teleportation finger ring.

“Erm, I really wonder what kind of life you had when you didn’t lose your memory. How could you dispose of so many element crystals in such a way? Did you get out of Mountain Ruins and lose your memory there…” Ji Yuelan sighed as she put three boxes of element crystals into the space-teleportation finger ring.

The term Mountain Ruins made Zhang Tie thrilled as he scratched his head, asking, “Oh, I really wonder what the hell is Mountain Ruins. It seems that only Mountain Ruins have element crystals across the Motian Realm. Additionally, it’s said that most powerful humans and demons would have a duel in Mountain Ruins in every 360 years; but why?”

“Mountain Ruins is the most mysterious and dangerous place in Motian Realm. According to the legends, Mountain Ruins is the largest battlefield of humans and demons.” Jiang Ruoxin answered, “Across Motian Realm, only Mountain Ruins have element crystals. Those who’re able to enter Mountain Ruins are at least wind immortal generals. It’s said that wind immortal generals could only reach the periphery of Mountain Ruins after penetrating through the Ice and Fire Heavenly Wind Layer. However, element crystals only exist inside the Mountain Ruins, where only supreme immortal generals and immortal emperors could access to. Therefore, all the element crystals across the Motian Realm are basically monopolized by immortal palaces. The mandatory requirement for a person to establish an immortal palace is that he could gain element crystals from inside Mountain Ruins and provide them to immortal generals. Without element crystals, they could not attract immortal generals at all; not to mention establishing an immortal palace. Besides element crystals, there are many dangerous and mysterious places inside Mountain Ruins that are said to have countless treasures such as our space-teleportation finger rings and various immortal equipment for senior immortal generals. Immortal generals above wind immortal general would scramble for them at the risk of their lives…”

“The secret method for a supreme immortal general to promote to an immortal emperor is right in a secret place in the core of Mountain Ruins. That core region would open in every 360 years. Therefore, whenever that region opens, the most powerful humans and demons would rush over there and scramble for it in the Mountain Ruins. The core region of Mountain Ruins is the fiercest battlefield in Motian Realm.” Ji Yuelan added.

‘The secret method for a supreme immortal general to promote to an immortal emperor is right in the core region of Mountain Ruins?’ Zhang Tie was shocked by this news. If this news was spread over Taixia Country, those sage-level knights would try every method they could to get to Motian Realm for the secret method to promote to an immortal emperor in Mountain Ruins.

“How long before Mountain Ruins reopens?” Zhang Tie asked.

“About 10 years or so. Therefore, Motian Realm is not safe recently as humans and demons are all longing for the secret method and the treasures inside Mountain Ruins!”

“Erm…immortal equipment is… Such as the long sword and the space-teleportation finger ring in your hands!” Ji Yuelan replied as she blinked her eyes towards Zhang Tie, “However, despite that long sword and the space-teleportation finger ring are rarities, they’re common items in immortal equipment. They should be middle-class humanly immortal equipment. Above humanly immortal equipment, there’re earthly immortal equipment and heavenly immortal equipment. Those wind immortal generals are going to Mountain Ruins for earthly immortal equipment!”

‘Humanly immortal equipment got to be silver secret items while earthly and heavenly immortal equipment got to be golden secret items such as Heavens Ruler or immortal secret items such as Castle of Black Iron. Christ! A heavenly knight gets to have golden secret items in Mountain Ruins. Isn’t Mountain Ruins full of treasures? Motian Realm is really such an endless treasure bank…’

When Zhang Tie recalled the hardships that he suffered from Heavens Ruler, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
