Telling others the whole truth was treating yourself like a fool!
Fooling everyone with nothing but lies was treating everyone else like fools!
Zhang Tie was no fool, and neither were the elders of Huaiyuan Hall or Zhang Taixuan.
Facing the elders and the clan head of Huaiyuan Hall, Zhang Tie knew that words alone would make it difficult to explain things clearly. So, at his urging, he directly demonstrated his abilities before them all.
A man had to know how to adapt. Without revealing that he cultivated the emperor-level secret manual, the Infinite Roc King Scripture, Zhang Tie's way of adapting was to tell everyone that he possessed a supreme secret art called the Chaos Treasure Body. Before all the elders, Zhang Tie even deliberately made it seem "difficult" as he completed a Battle Qi switch between the Candle Dragon Scripture and the Five Elements Earth Image Scripture within thirty minutes, leaving the elders of Huaiyuan Hall speechless once more.
In truth, Zhang Tie no longer needed even a minute to switch between two secret methods he was familiar with. But he felt that letting the elders of Huaiyuan Hall think his Chaos Treasure Body could switch too easily between various secret methods would not be a good thing, so he deliberately made it all look more arduous.
They had seen how Zhang Tie's Illusory Body Divine Bloodline allowed him to shift between Cui Li and his true self; they had seen how his Thousand-Bead Mind Formula could drain a water-element crystal at astonishing speed; and now they had seen how the Chaos Treasure Body Zhang Tie had fabricated out of thin air allowed him to manifest the Battle Qi of different secret methods as he pleased. One by one, the elders of Huaiyuan Hall were rendered speechless.
