After Zhang Tie moved his hand away from Zhang Chengpei"s head for quite a while, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei opened their eyes one after another. They felt too many new things in their mind; especially Zhang Tie"s gnosis about cultivation base, which was too enormous and profound for them. Even if the gnosis had been enlightened to their mind sea, they could only sense it faintly. Before turning it into their own gnosis, they needed further cultivation by breaking some barriers. Some secret methods were just seeds for them, which couldn"t be absorbed until they reached higher levels.

That was the power of the enlightenment skill in b.l.o.o.d.y Soul Sutra, the one who implemented this enlightenment skill could not turn some abstruse gnosis and experience into the seeds of the mysterious awareness and bury them into the mind sea of the one being enlightened; besides, he could determine which knowledge and secret methods would show up at certain moments in the process. 

Except for the incomplete King Roc Sutra, Zhang Tie had already enlightened the seeds of Great Wilderness Sutra and b.l.o.o.d.y Soul Sutra to the mind sea of his three sons. The seed of Great Wilderness Sutra would sprout until they promoted to earth knights while the seed of b.l.o.o.d.y Soul Sutra would sprout when they were promoted to shadow knights. 

Zhang Tie didn"t force them to cultivate these cla.s.sic secret methods in the future as they might have their reasons. However, at least they would know something about these cla.s.sic secret methods. Additionally, they would transfer the seeds of these secret methods to the posterities of the Zhang family. 

After recovering their mind, the three brothers watched Zhang Tie with astonis.h.i.+ng looks. When they were young, they had already been told that their father was very powerful; however, only when they promoted to knights did they understand how powerful was their father. In the process of enlightenment, they had sensed the surging spiritual energy in Zhang Tie"s mind sea. Being covered by Zhang Tie"s spiritual energy, they felt like being small boats in a billowy ocean. A single spray would turn them over.

The three brothers exchanged a glance with each other as if they had understood something.

Zhang Tie would fight a sage-level knight tomorrow; however, he enlightened so much knowledge to them today, the three brothers instantly understood their father"s intention.

"Papa..."

Raising his arm, Zhang Tie stopped Zhang Chenglei as he watched them with a smile, "I know what you"re going to say. But it"s the only thing that I could gift you now. If something unexpected happens to me tomorrow, you should carry forward these things in Jinwu Palace..."

After hearing Zhang Tie"s words, the three brothers" eyes turned red at a stroke.

"Never, papa, you would be safe..." Zhang Chengpei comforted him.

"In this world, besides Emperor Xuanyuan, n.o.body dare say that he could defeat a sage-level knight. As you"ve promoted to knights, you know the power of high-level knights. I"m just a shadow knight; even though I"m a divine dominator, the gap between three levels couldn"t be neglected so easily. The duel tomorrow is full of risks. I have a low probability to win it. By far, I only have less than 40 % chance to turn the duel into a protracted war and enter a stalemate with the opponent. If something unexpected happens to me, you must promise me to not avenge me before promoting to sage-level knights!"

The three brothers dropped tears silently. Zhang Tie took a look at them before turning stern, "Am I clear?"

Under Zhang Tie"s serious eyes, the three brothers finally nodded.

Zhang Tie then slightly recovered his composure as he watched Zhang Chenglei, saying, "I"ve already made an appointment with His Majesty. His Majesty has a daughter who"s as young and excellent as you. After this duel, that girl would marry you regardless of the outcome of the duel!" Chenglei and Chengpei, you should also marry the daughter of Zuoqiu Clan and Guan Clan. I"ve already reached agreements with them and informed your elder uncle. After this duel, you two will stay in Zuoqiu Clan and Guan Clan for a few days and contact their young generation. You could choose a favorable wife from their young generation!"

"Yes, papa!" Zhang Chenglei, Zheng Chengting and Zhang Chengpei answered in unison as they lowered their heads. 

As Zhang Tie was not with them since they were young and the three brothers were a bit premature, of course, they were clear about their father"s purpose by having them marry a daughter of the three clans. Of course, they would not disobey him. 

"Well, you take a rest here tonight. You"d better recover your spiritual energy first. You could go out tomorrow..."

...

When Zhang Tie opened the door of the room where Yan Feiqing, Guo Hongyi, Bai Suxian and Pandora were in, those women fixated onto him at a stroke.

"Where are your sons?" Yan Feiqing asked.

"I"ve imparted something to them. They need to take a rest in the back room for one night!" Zhang Tie said as he watched them and took a seat, "What are you talking about?"

"We"re talking about how to transfer you to Pandora!" Guo Hongyi said calmly.

"Transfer me to Pandora?" Zhang Tie asked with a speechless way.

"Well, you could stay in this room tonight. Trust me, n.o.body would disturb you!" Yan Feiqing said as she stood up, followed by Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi. After taking a look at Zhang Tie, they left the room silently.

"That"s strange. How could they become so generous? Do they leave s.p.a.ce and time for me to have a good stay with Pandora after so many years" departure? Impossible. If so, Bai Suxian has long been unhappy. But why did she leave here so decisively?"

Watching them leave and close the door from outside, Zhang Tie scratched his head as he asked Pandora out of curiosity, "What happened?"

Pandora explained with a smile, "I told them I"m going to implement the Great Blessing Method for you. It might need one night!"

"Great Blessing Method? What"s that?"

"It"s a secret method that Wu Clan has adopted since far ancient times. The Hua people"s ancestral bloodline that I"ve awakened could help me implement this secret method. To put it simply, after adopting this secret method, you would have a good fortune and chance to survive yourself in crisis..." Pandora said as she undid her longuette, showing her perfect body to Zhang Tie. 

When he saw her unrivaled, perfect frame again, Zhang Tie almost couldn"t move his eyes away. 

"Take off yours too. When I implement the Great Blessing Method, there should be no obstacles such as clothes!" Pandora said with a smile when she saw Zhang Tie"s dumbfounded look. At the same time, she came over here and started to help Zhang Tie take off his clothes.

In the process, Zhang Tie couldn"t stand putting his hands on Pandora"s waist as his instinctive physiological response happened at once. 

"The implementation of Great Blessing Method is sacred. No evil thought is allowed; otherwise, I would be devoured by the power of my bloodline!" Pandora whispered to Zhang Tie.

Heart pounding, Zhang Tie hurriedly bit his tongue tip to remain as calm as water. 

...

Half an hour later, Zhang Tie and Pandora were sitting naked face to face in the room with pretty solemn looks. Pandora was surrounded by a weird glow, in which many bizarre golden runes were flowing. Additionally, the glow was expanding and gradually including Zhang Tie. 

In the glow, Pandora"s body was like a burning furnace. Although Pandora didn"t speak, Zhang Tie could hear a dreamlike, eccentric and desolate mantra and drum beats...

After breaking her finger, Pandora drew something towards Zhang Tie as many strands of blood flew out of the wound before turning into bizarre b.l.o.o.d.y runes in the air. After that, those b.l.o.o.d.y runes entered Zhang Tie"s body. 

Since the first b.l.o.o.d.y rune entered Zhang Tie"s chest, he had closed his eyes unconsciously. Closely after that, he entered an empty realm and all of his senses were isolated from outside. He was then immersed in pleasure and clear state that he had not experienced before. 

Pandora drew 360 b.l.o.o.d.y runes in the air, which gradually entered Zhang Tie"s body as a whole including his chest, lower abdomen, back, arms, shoulders, thighs and eyebrows...

As each rune was drawn, Pandora"s glow gradually weakened while Zhang Tie"s gradually strengthened. When the last b.l.o.o.d.y rune entered Zhang Tie"s eyebrow, Pandora"s glow had fully disappeared; by contrast, Zhang Tie"s glow grew brilliantly. 

Watching Zhang Tie, Pandora revealed a rea.s.suring smile on her pale and weak face as her body swayed. Finally, she couldn"t even sit decently; instead, she directly lay on the ground. 

After Zhang Tie completely absorbed the glow in two hours, he opened his eyes when he saw Pandora who had pa.s.sed out and lain on the ground. 

Zhang Tie hurriedly helped her sit up and had her lean against his chest. After that, he poured two vials of senior medicament into her stomach to wake her up. 

When Pandora opened her eyes, she took a look at Zhang Tie and revealed a weak smile. Closely after that, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep. Before that, she moved herself a bit closer to Zhang Tie"s chest and murmured, "It"s so nice to sleep in your arms..."

Zhang Tie kept this gesture overnight as he watched Pandora sleep quietly in his arms...

...

As the sun rose, January 29 finally arrived...
