Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1759
Chapter 1759: Waking Up
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The one who created Golden-Soul Rune Virus must be pretty proficient in puppet worms and runes. Otherwise, he could never make such a terrifying virus using a powerful rune skill. Zhang Tie had not even heard about such a method.
Not knowing why, perhaps puppet worm was not a specialty in Motian Realm, demons in Motian Realm didn’t have puppet worms. At least demons didn’t use it in the wars against humans. Many immortal generals didn’t even know such a terrifying thing. ‘But the question is how did Grand Justice Qian know the principle of using puppet worm to control humans’ brains? How did he improve it and combine it with a rune skill to make Golden-Soul Rune Virus?’
‘Who the hell is “His Majesty”?’
A lot of questions occurred in Zhang Tie’s mind, making him muddle-headed at a stroke.
When Zhang Tie was observing the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Ji Yuelan’s mind sea, Zhang Tie felt that he could break it using Deity-killing Sword; however, the outcome was that he would blow up Ji Yuelan’s head too. It was nothing different than killing her.
According to Zhang Tie’s understanding and speculation of puppet worm, after absorbing enough spiritual energy, Golden-Soul Rune Virus would wake them up. They would remain sober-minded. After experiencing the so-called “Sacred Sacrifice” and be branded with other’s spirit, Golden-Soul Rune Virus would force them to be fully under control.
‘The current situation is pretty tricky. I still have time to check it out.’
After examining the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Ji Yuelan’s mind sea seriously again, Zhang Tie could be able to visualize all the tiny bizarre tadpole-shaped golden runes that made up the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in his own mind sea.
/ Anilint / The science of runes was extremely abstruse. Zhang Tie could not understand and master its principle only given their shapes. He could only remember the “looks” of the runes of Golden-Soul Rune Virus first so that he could further study and figure out its secrets. As a person who was proficient in runes, Zhang Tie couldn’t stand to keep a template of such an amazing thing for further study. It was like a person who liked calligraphy being obsessed with brass rubbing or a gourmet who wanted to try every amazing, delicious food.
After “copying” the general situation of Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Ji Yuelan’s mind sea, Zhang Tie did the same to Jiang Ruoxin’s Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
Ji Yuelan was a fierce immortal general while Jiang Ruoxin was an earth immortal general. Zhang Tie wondered whether the Golden-Soul Rune Virus that controlled the two people were different or not or whether all the immortal generals were under the control of the same Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
After copying the two Golden-Soul Rune Virus and comparing them, Zhang Tie discovered that the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in Jiang Ruoxin’s mind sea could absorb more spiritual energy in quantity and quality and grow faster in the same period of time than that in Ji Yuelan’s mind sea. Although the two Golden-Soul Rune Virus were similar in look generally, they were evidently distinctive in the core region.
Those fine tadpole-shaped runes in the core region of the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in the mind sea of Jiang Ruoxin were evidently more complex, advanced and denser than that of Ji Yuelan.
It meant that the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in the mind sea of Jiang Ruoxin was more advanced than that in the mind sea of Ji Yuelan.
After copying the Golden-Soul Rune Virus of Jiang Ruoxin, Zhang Tie copied the Golden-Soul Rune Virus of another female disciple beside her. After making another comparison, Zhang Tie found this female disciple shared the same Golden-Soul Rune Virus with Ji Yuelan. It indicated that there was more than one variety of Golden-Soul Rune Virus in this world, which were divided according to the levels of immortal generals. The higher level the immortal general had, the higher level the Golden-Soul Rune Virus which was used to control him or her would be.
This discovery made Zhang Tie thrilled. Just now Zhang Tie was very afraid that all the Golden-Soul Rune Virus were same, which meant a real catastrophe for Zhang Tie as it reminded him of the products on the assembly line which meant a mass production.
The fact that there were several varieties of Golden-Soul Rune Virus meant that “His Majesty” would spend a lot of efforts in making such terrifying things. In other words, they could barely realize mass production. Zhang Tie concluded easily——if senior Golden-Soul Rune Virus could take effect on inferior immortal generals, “His Majesty” didn’t need to produce inferior Golden-Soul Rune Virus for inferior immortal generals at all. Now that he especially produced inferior Golden-Soul Rune Virus for inferior immortal generals, it implied that it was not easy to produce Golden-Soul Rune Virus. Otherwise, he only needed to produce one kind of Golden-Soul Runed Virus to deal with immortal generals on different levels.
From a certain perspective, this was good news for Zhang Tie.
After getting two templates of Golden-Soul Rune Virus, Zhang Tie took a look at the three beauties beside Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin who looked like elders of Yin-Yang Sect. Zhang Tie felt that they should have different Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
Zhang Tie then came to the front of a beauty in blue longuette as he put his hand on her forehead, entering her mind sea spiritually and starting to copy her Golden-Soul Rune Virus.
As a water immortal general, this woman’s spiritual energy in her mind sea was more energetic. Her Golden-Soul Rune Virus grew even faster than that of Jiang Ruoxin. Zhang Tie felt that she might recover her consciousness in a few hours.
Those dense runes in the core area of her Golden-Soul Rune Virus were greater in quantity and more complex than that in Jiang Ruoxin’s mind sea. Zhang Tie’s speculation was verified again.
After Zhang Tie copied her Golden-Soul Rune Virus, the beauty in purple beside her suddenly opened her eyes.
/ Anilint / Zhang Tie noticed her amazing look at once. Before she uttered any voice, Zhang Tie had rushed over there and covered her mouth.
“Hush, I’m on your side. I’m here to save you. Those immortal generals in black robe are outside…” Zhang Tie told the woman secretly as he added, “Nod if you understand me…”
Watching Zhang Tie’s look, the beauty gradually recovered her composure. At the same time, a blurry expression flashed across her face. After considering it for a few seconds, she nodded lightly.
As all the alive members of Yin-Yang Sect had become the flesh on the kneading board, it was unnecessary for those people who caught them to perform in front of them.
After designing a layer of vacuum space around the beauty and him, Zhang Tie slowly loosened his grip.
“What’s your name?” Zhang Tie asked secretly.
The beauty in purple just watched him in daze as she remained silent.
Zhang Tie thought this woman might have not recovered completely. Therefore, he asked her again. The beauty gazed at Zhang Tie’s face for a short while before looking at his hand which was put on her mouth just now. Then, she cast her eyes down, murmuring, ” This humble woman is…Su Haimei…”
At that time, Zhang Tie didn’t feel like caring about her amazing look; instead, he continued, “How do you feel? Can you run your battle qi and spiritual energy?”
“I feel soft all over… I don’t have strength. Even weaker than commoners. I can neither run my battle qi nor spiritual energy,” the beauty said tenderly as she glanced at Zhang Tie rapidly.
With a frown, Zhang Tie sighed inside, saying, “This Golden-Soul Rune Virus is too strange.” Previously, Zhang Tie thought that these people could recover their ability to a certain degree after waking up. He didn’t imagine that they had completely lost their battle strength physically and spiritually. ‘Does it mean that these victims won’t recover their battle strength until the so-called “Sacred Sacrifice”‘
“Sorry to offend you…” Zhang Tie left some words before putting his hands on her lower abdomen and forehead at the same time and starting to check her situation seriously, eyes closed.
Watching Zhang Tie, the face of the beauty in purple gradually turned red, which looked pretty captivating.
