Chapter 1129: The Treasures Complex
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The two words Treasures Complex were as assertive as flying dragons and dancing phoenixes. Hanging over the high front gate, the two words were radiating golden light. Each of them was as large as a half person. When Zhang Tie approached them, he felt a stress from the words which were like living animals. As a result, Zhang Tie's battle qi started to wave. Zhang Tie was really shocked by this feeling.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to meet such a situation. The two words Treasures Complex reminded Zhang Tie of the strong coercion that Elder Muen imposed on him in Heavens Cold City. This effect was caused by a sharp difference between realms.
"Yi, what happened?" Zhang Tie stopped at once. He looked up at the two words Treasures Complex with sparkling eye light once again and abruptly felt that each word was as overwhelming as a mountain.
"The two words are Emperor Xuanyuan's Calligraphy. It contains the strong qi of a knight who cultivates an emperor-level secret method. This qi is special among humans. Although so many years have passed, the qi remains unchanged. Only those above knights could sense this qi. Like how ants in a cave couldn't feel the dignity of a huge dragon in the sky, people below knight could not feel that anything was wrong below the two words!" Mountain Lifting Hermit explained it to Zhang Tie.
"The calligraphy of Emperor Xuanyuan?"
"Yes, it's sunny today; if you came here on rainy days, you would see a grotesque scenery. Rain and snow keep 3 m away from this board. It's always dry below this board. It's said that this board is water-proof and fire-resistant. Because of the 2 words, this board becomes a treasure as if it has been processed by a rune instrument producer!"
Mountain-Lifting Hermit's words made Zhang Tie dumbfounded in a split second. He was really startled by a sage-level knight's battle strength. Compared to the battle strength of common fighters, knights register a qualitative leapfrog in the battle strength; similarly, compared to the battle strength of common knights, sage-level knights register a qualitative leapfrog too.
"Elder brother, do you feel the stress from the 2 words too?"
"Of course; however, as I've been here before, I'm not that amazed like you!"
"I've not imagined that sage-level knight could have such a terrifying battle strength. After so many years, the two words could still cause such a great stress to other knights!"
"Stress is a driving force. Many knights across Taixia Country have determined their mind at the sight of the two words on the front gate of Treasures Complex. When I saw the two words the first time, I had determined to reach the peak of the knight's world for the rest of my life!" Mountain Lifting Hermit raised his head and watched the 2 words while a sophisticated and decisive look flashed by.
The road towards peak was pretty bumpy and lonely. So many people gave it up on the halfway. It required great determination and braveness the choose this way.
"Elder brother's determination is really admirable!" Zhang Tie said sincerely. Without the small tree, Zhang Tie knew that he could not even enter the realm of a knight for the rest of his life, not to mention a sage-level knight. Zhang Tie really admired those people who could promote to knights by their own ability and determine to reach the peak of knight's world.
"Although I promoted to a knight earlier than you, younger brother has already caught up with me!" Mountain Lifting Hermit replied with a big smile.
"Actually, you've missed one point, the 2 words are an incentive for Hua knights and cause many foreign knights to be breathless due to fear. I finally know why Hua people could lead all the other humans!" Bai Suxian said.
When Bai Suxian spoke, 2 foreign knights approached the gate too. It might be the 2 knights' first time to be here. The moment they sensed the aggressive qi of the 2 words, one of them released his protective battle qi unconsciously at once, the other one was forced to move 2 steps backward. The two people changed their faces immediately. Watching the 2 huge Hua words on the gate with astonishment, they jabbered and dared not move forward...
At the sight of such a situation, Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian exchanged a glance with each other silently before entering the gate.
"It's Treasures Complex, do you have VIP cards?" One of the two young domineering Hua knights stretched out his hand and stopped the 3 people politely.
Even though the 2 concierges of Treasures Complex were knights. After realizing it, common knights would feel being dwarfed inside.
Bai Suxian stretched out her hand with 2 crystal VIP cards on it; Mountain Lifting Hermit took out of a crystal VIP card from his sleeve too. After taking the 3 crystal VIP cards, the concierge checked them before giving them back to the 3 people and let them in.
The 3 people then entered the gate while raising high their heads.
"I've not imagined that it was so strict here. Commoners might not dare enter at the sight of the 2 words and the 2 knight-level concierges."
"Anyone who could enter Treasures Complex must be dignified. As long as a Hua person become an earth knight, he will have a VIP card of Treasures Complex. Common knights are forbidden to go inside, except for black iron knights such as young sister Su Xian, who come from major clans and sects or are especially invited by Gold and Power Law!"
"Are we deep into the tiger's den?" Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie with a smile, "Han Yuanhong's nestle in Gold and Power Market is in the Treasures Complex. At the gate, I've seen 3 people peering at us at the gate of the Treasures Complex."
"Yup; however, 3 of us are not afraid of a tiger at all, am I right, elder brother?" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"Young brother Cui Li is right. Xuanyuan Hill is the sacred land of Hua people; instead of one's backyard. Even the master of Gold and Power Law is also appointed by Emperor Xuanyuan. Iron barracks, flowing soldiers, some people are at most a senior steward here. Only Emperor Xuanyuan among humans could be unrivaled forever!" Mountain Lifting Hermit said heroically.
Zhang Tie nodded as 3 of them passed through the gateway of Treasures Complex.
The moment Zhang Tie entered the gate tower, he had seen a huge wall.
The wall was higher than 10 m and over 30 m in length. The entire wall was verdant all over like a curtain. Besides being fascinatingly verdant, it was also mixed with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple colors. The entire wall was decorated with 9 colorful vivid Hua dragon totems in different movements, which looked pretty domineering.
At the sight of the wall, Zhang Tie had been shocked. Zhang Tie found that the raw material of this wall was a quality eternal stone. Additionally, this piece of eternal stone was an entity. The piece of eternal stone alone was already a priceless treasure, not to mention the exquisite carving skills.
Before Zhang Tie promoted to a knight, he had gained some eternal stones in the underground relics of Ice and Snow Wilderness. Those eternal stones were extremely rare and valuable; therefore, Zhang Tie made a big fortune. By contrast, this eternal stone was definitely more qualified than them; what was more, it was an entity. In front of this extremely huge external stone, those eternal stones that Zhang Tie gained previously in the underground relics were nothing but sh*t. How much was such an eternal stone? Precisely, how many cities was it worth?
"This is 9-dragons wall. This original eternal stone of this wall weighs over 4,600 tons. It's the largest and most advanced eternal stone that humans have discovered by far. It was discovered by a grand elder of Wang clan of Tianhai Palace, a top clan in Taixia Country in the Earth-elements Realm. After discovering it, the grand elder of Wang clan immediately contacted his clansmen and took it out of the Earth-elements Realm. When it was displayed, it shocked the entire Taixia Country. Later on, Gold and Power Law exchanged something for this eternal stone and carved 9 dragons on it before putting it here for appreciation. This 9-dragons wall is also the top treasure of Treasures Complex!"
As it was not the first time for Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian to see this 9-dragons wall; therefore, the 2 people were not shocked by it anymore. After noting that Zhang Tie paid special attention to this 9-dragons wall, Bai Suxian started to introduce Zhang Tie about the history of this 9-dragons wall.
"Isn't eternal stone a precious material for alchemists? Why do I feel that this eternal stone has not been processed by an alchemist? Isn't it prodigal for it to stand here?"
"You're right, it's said that the effect of this 9-dragons wall could cover an entire city and extend the longevity of commoners in this city if it was fully activated. Pitifully, only one person among alchemists could do it; however, as that person's identity is special; nobody could invite him to process this 9-dragons wall through alchemist's skill. Even if all the other alchemists joined hands with each other, they could only reach half effect of that person. Therefore, in case this top treasure was spoiled, they just put it here until someone could play its role to the utmost one day..."
