Chapter 1946: The Rise of Jinwu Palace

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

When the three major sects of Taixia Country were heavily disturbed by Yun Zhongzi who used to take action secretly and had terrifying battle force, Jinwu Palace which established connections with the royal households of Taixia Country through marriage had been rising in an irresistible way based on businesses of fiery-oil and all-purpose medicament…

As the holy war turned white-hot, the demand for fiery-oil and all-purpose medicament was increasing. In this situation, Jinwu Palace’s position in Taixia Country became more and more important. It could be said that Jinwu Palace was as rich as a country. Besides fiery-oil, starting from the second year after the battle at Yinhai Desert, Jinwu Palace had already determined to produce all-purpose medicament together with royal households and some major sects through cooperation…

Zhang Tie was the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. Zhang Tie’s sons were royal prince’s son-in-law, son-in-law of Zuoqiu Ming, son-in-law of Guang Clan. Additionally, Zhang Clan had established close relations with Heavenly Fortune Sect, Gold and Power Law, Taixia military and local major sects across Taixia Country. Furthermore, almost all the air cavalries across Taixia Country were the disciples or disciples’ disciples in Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory.

Over the past 30-odd years since Zhang Tie left Taixia Country, Zhang Chenglei, Zhang Chengting and Zhang Chengpei had long promoted to earth knights. Soon after getting married, they had given birth to grandsons for Zhang Tie. Even many grandsons of Zhang Tie’s, also the fourth generation of Jinwu Palace had been promoting to knights one after another. Jinwu Palace was full of talents. Additionally, many powerhouses were joining Jinwu Palace from all directions.

Yan Feiqing lived up to her identity as Zhang Tie’s No. 1 wife. After the battle at Yinhai Desert finished for 14 years, Yan Feiqing had formed her fire chakra and promoted to a semi-sage knight. Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi had promoted to shadow knights…

After the battle at Yinhai Desert, Jinwu Palace suffered the largest crisis. On the 914th year of Black Iron Calendar, a semi-sage wing demon knight assaulted Fiery-Dragon Bounty Territory. However, the final result was that the semi-sage wing demon knight was killed by golden sage and silver sage. Not until then did people across Taixia Country know that Jinwu Palace and Iron Dragon Sect had two super magical beasts on their back. Both magical beasts were close to semi-sage knights. However, their overall battle force was greater than that of a semi-sage level knight. Nobody could hurt them, except sage-level knights.

As for Ice and Snow Wilderness, O’Laura became the empress dowager of Sacred Iceland Kingdom. Andre, the son between Zhang Tie and O’Laura, officially ascended to the throne at 18 and had become the Tsar of Ice and Snow Wilderness. He had long promoted to an earth knight and had a lot of children.

Alexander, the son of Zhang Tie and Ms. Olina was called the king of islands. He owned 10,000 warships and had a big influence on the sea…

Additionally, Anatori, Victor, Igor, Oreg, Nigolas and Lev, the six sons between Zhang Tie and the six women of Spencer Clan, cleared all the obstacles in Fadiland, Western Continent where Zhang Tie once promised to gift them and founded a new kingdom called the Sacred Eschyle Kingdom.

Anatori, the son of Zhang Tie and Matia, became the first king of Sacred Eschyle Kingdom. All the other five sons became the princes of Sacred Eschyle Kingdom. The names of the six brothers had been spread over Sacred Eschyle Kingdom.

The first private city of Spencer Clan in Ice and Snow Wilderness was Eschyle City. Eschyle meant the land where their lord arrived in Ice and Snow Wilderness. Unimaginably, wise Spencer Clan finally turned this name into a country’s name after dozens of years. The investment that Spencer Clan made in Zhang Tie at the beginning finally brought them a great harvest after dozens of years. Speaking of business and sagacity, Spencer Clan indeed ranked first in Ice and Snow Wilderness.

With the foundation of Sacred Eschyle Kingdom, the reputation of Spencer women also spread over the Western Continent.

Listening to the information about Jinwu Palace and his children from Ockham, Zhang Tie felt complex as he became silent for a while.

Zhang Tie was born as a grassroots in Blackhot City. However, he didn’t imagine that even his sons could become kings one day. Over the past 30-odd years, even his grandsons had promoted to knights.

Zhang Tie was at a loss of whether to cry or laugh.

“What about Matveyev? I didn’t hear any news about Matveyev.” Zhang Tie suddenly asked Ockham after a short silence.

Matveyev was the son of Zhang Tie and Sabrina. Of course, he didn’t forget about him.

Ockham replied with a bit flurried look, “Please forgive me, owner. I know very little about Matveyev. I only heard that Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Sacred Eschyle Kingdom both conferred Matveyev as a prince. Alexander even gifted a big island in Xiqin Waters to Matveyev. However, after promoting to a knight, Matveyev has not shown up in the public. I didn’t hear any news about him over these years.”

“What about Matveyev’s mother Sabrina?”

“Ms. Sabrina’s whereabouts is uncertain. 10 years ago, she traveled across the Western Continent. Later on, she was said to have been to Taixia Country. A few years ago, she was said to return to Wildbear City in Ice and Snow Wilderness. I’ve not received any news about her recently…”

‘Has Wildbear Tribe founded a city?’ Zhang Tie slightly shook his head. Matveyev was born to be restless and explore just like his mother. Perhaps Matveyev was looking for the life that he wanted. If something had really happened to Matveyev, Sabrina would never travel everywhere given her personality.

Zhang Tie then asked about Olina and the other wives. According to Ockham, they were all good. Everyone knew that they were Zhang Tie’s wives. Given Zhang Tie’s prestige among humans and the Jinwu Palace’s influential position in Taixia Country, of course, nobody dared cast greedy eyes on their beautiful looks. Additionally, they were not common as they had means and forces to protect themselves. All of their sons were freaks who had promoted to knights at about the age of 18.

Over the past dozens of years since the holy war broke out, humans and Taixia Country were swaying in the midst of a raging storm. However, Jinwu Palace and Zhang Tie’s bloodline were developing prosperously. That was all the information that Zhang Tie had acquired from Ockham.

After knowing all these, Zhang Tie heaved a deep sigh.

There was the last problem to be solved.

“I need you to arrange a free tower of time for me now at any price. It had better be on the Western Continent!” Zhang Tie told Ockham straightforwardly.

“Owner, you need a tower of time?” Ockham asked with great shock, “It’s said that Jinwu Palace has a lot of towers of time in the south border of Taixia Country…”

“Due to some reasons, I don’t want to expose my identity. Neither do I want to contact my family for the time being…” Zhang Tie interrupted with Ockham.

“There’re very few advanced towers of time which could enable a person to cultivate in for over 50 years in Western Continent,” Ockham replied with an embarrassed look, “There’re two advanced towers of time in Holy Light Empire; however, they couldn’t be available without the consent of His Majesty Pope…”

“I don’t need such an advanced tower of time. I only need to cultivate 3-5 years in a tower of time. Can you find it?” Zhang Tie asked Ockham with burning eyes.

“A tower of time which could be available for 3-5 years?”

“Yes, I don’t need to cultivate for too long!”

Ockham then rolled his eyes as he started to consider it rapidly. Half a minute later, Ockham raised his eyebrows and replied, “Owner, if you don’t mind changing your identity, I might… find it…”

“Might?”

“No, owner, as long as you don’t mind changing your identity, I can definitely find it!” Ockham clenched his teeth and said when he saw Zhang Tie slightly knitting his brows.

“Tell me about your plan…”

“Here’s my plan…”

Listening to Ockham’s words, Zhang Tie slightly relieved his brows…
