Legend of Wyatt

Meeting with the three top-grade alchemist Immortal Masters from the Sect of Grand Unity, Wyatt Barnes dared not delay, intending to arrive early to avoid keeping them waiting.

However, just because he didn’t want others to wait didn’t mean others shared the same thought.

When he arrived at the agreed location, the residence of the Sect Leader ’Daven Buckingham,’ he waited for half a day, and despite the appointed time having passed, there was still no sign of the three top-grade alchemist Immortal Masters.

"Alchemist Barnes, perhaps they encountered some issues, thus delaying their time,"

Daven Buckingham looked at Wyatt Barnes, actively making excuses for the three top-grade alchemist Immortal Masters, as if afraid that Wyatt Barnes might leave in anger.

However, though he said it, in his eyes was a hint of anger.

He naturally guessed that the three top-grade alchemist Immortal Masters were doing it on purpose, wanting to give Alchemist Barnes a show of authority!

"No matter, waiting a bit longer is fine,"

Faced with Daven Buckingham’s excuse, Wyatt Barnes smiled indifferently, not minding it.

Bored in idleness, Wyatt Barnes’ thoughts drifted away, reflecting on the series of events that had occurred since his arrival in the City of Grand Unity, feeling like he had taken many shortcuts and enjoyed smooth sailing.

Originally, he had come along with the delegation from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation to participate in the ’Desolate Territory Grand Competition’ held by the three great Sects of the Desolate Territory.

The plan was to stand out in the competition, reveal his status as a top-grade alchemist Immortal Master, join the Sect of the Dragon Warriors, and use it as a ’stepping stone’ to continue improving himself and eventually leaving the Desolate Territory.

In addition, to help the Imperial Family’s Thirteenth Prince Crue Dragonsmith ascend to the throne and obtain a quota to enter the small world left by that Immortal King expert, assisting the mysterious Brother Patel in acquiring an ’Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact’ from inside.

This Desolate Territory Grand Competition, according to Brother Patel, was precisely for that small world left by the Immortal King expert.

The quota to enter that small world was held by the three great Sects of the Desolate Territory.

As long as he demonstrated sufficient strength in the Desolate Territory Grand Competition, the Sect of the Dragon Warriors would be more than eager to have him, someone under a hundred years old, enter that small world to gain benefits for them.

However, plans sometimes fail to keep up with changes.

He didn’t expect Leilany’s true identity to be exposed.

Nor did he expect that the exposure of Leilany’s true identity would result in a series of events causing him to miss his chance with the Sect of the Dragon Warriors and instead form a connection with the Sect of Grand Unity.

Moreover, upon forming a connection with the Sect of Grand Unity, he directly became their ’Chief Alchemist Master,’ holding a position so high that even the Sect Leader was very courteous towards him.

At this point, helping Crue Dragonsmith ascend to the throne was also a very simple matter for him.

Additionally, entering that Immortal King’s small world was not a difficult task.

"Sect Leader Buckingham."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Daven Buckingham, "As far as I know, in the past, the three great Sects of the Desolate Territory, including the Sect of Grand Unity, have held many ’Desolate Territory Grand Competitions’... But those competitions never had age restrictions."

"Why, this time... is there an age limit?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Alchemist Barnes."

Listening to Wyatt Barnes’ question, Daven Buckingham smiled slightly and said, "Even if you didn’t ask, I would tell you sooner or later..."

Regarding the fact that Wyatt Barnes was a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ under a hundred years old, Daven Buckingham was already aware.

Because of this, the quota for entering that small world left by the Immortal King expert was something Daven Buckingham planned to reserve for Wyatt Barnes, allowing him to enter as well.

After all, allowing such a young powerhouse not to enter that small world would be a waste of talent!

"The reason why, this time, the Desolate Territory Grand Competition added an age restriction and limited participants to those under a hundred years old, is because..."

As Daven Buckingham spoke again, he explained the matters of the ’small world’ left by the Immortal King expert without any concealment to Wyatt Barnes, his eyes shining brightly:

"Once the Desolate Territory Grand Competition is over, we three great Sects will select those who will enter that small world and send them in... By then, with your strength, Alchemist Barnes, you’re sure to gain quite a bit inside."

"Perhaps, you might even obtain a ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’!"

Upon mentioning this, Daven Buckingham’s eyes shone with brilliant light, his face showing a look of anticipation.

"If it were others entering the small world and obtaining a King Grade Immortal Artifact, they would surely have to hand it over... But as for you, Alchemist Barnes, I can promise you, regardless of how many King Grade Immortal Artifacts you acquire, even if it’s just one, you can keep one for yourself."

In the latter part of his statement, Daven Buckingham even made such a promise to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes, if he were to obtain a ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’ inside that small world left by the Immortal King expert in the future, even if he acquired just one, he could keep it for his use without handing it over to the Sect of Grand Unity.

"Sect Leader Buckingham, isn’t it too early to talk about this? How do you even know that I’m willing to enter that small world?"

Upon hearing Daven Buckingham’s promise, Wyatt Barnes remained indifferent.

"Alchemist Barnes, that small world is an extremely rare opportunity... If my age hadn’t exceeded a hundred, I’d surely venture in for a chance at my own opportunity!"

Daven Buckingham found Wyatt Barnes’ perspective somewhat incomprehensible.

"That’s true... but the premise is surviving safely in that small world,"

Wyatt Barnes stated calmly, "If I’m not mistaken, the Sect of Grand Unity, the Sect of Dragon Warriors, and even the Celestial Sect of a Thousand Spiders, have probably sent many individuals under a hundred into that small world, and most of them likely perished, right?"

Daven Buckingham fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed.

Just as Wyatt Barnes mentioned, including the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, all three of the major Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory were to send young warriors under a hundred years old into that small world, but in the end, those young warriors’ ’Soul Beads’ all shattered.

All the young warriors who entered that small world died, not a single one survived!

"Alchemist Barnes, you are one of us, so I won’t hide it from you."

Daven Buckingham said, "Our three Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory indeed sent some young warriors under a hundred years old into that small world, but because it was rushed, the most outstanding among them was merely a ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’."

"Because of this... after this Desolation Territory Competition, we don’t plan to send any young warriors below the Purple Sun Golden Immortal rank inside."

Daven Buckingham finished speaking in one breath.

"The ones who entered before, even the Blue Sun Golden Immortals died... how can you guarantee that the Purple Sun Golden Immortals won’t die if they enter? Besides... even for me, how can you ensure that I won’t be in life-threatening danger once I enter?"

Wyatt Barnes asked word by word, almost aggressively.

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Daven Buckingham was momentarily silent.

Upon reflection, it did seem to be the case.

If even a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ under a hundred years old like Wyatt Barnes would be in life-threatening danger entering that small world, then their three major Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory were likely destined to not be able to touch that small world left behind by the Immortal King.

"Alchemist Barnes, your concerns are valid... Although I do wish for you to enter that small world, feeling that with your strength, not going in seems a bit of a waste, I still respect your choice. If you don’t wish to go in, then don’t."

Daven Buckingham said.

"Sect Leader Buckingham, you are right. With my strength, not entering that small world to take a look does seem a bit wasteful... Currently, the ’Desolation Territory Competition’ hasn’t started yet, whether to enter that small world or not, I’ll need more time to consider."

Wyatt Barnes nodded and said.

"It’s indeed something that should be well considered."

Daven Buckingham nodded in agreement.

Originally, he subconsciously thought that a Daai Law Golden Immortal under a hundred years old entering the small world left by the Immortal King was a sure thing...

But just after hearing what Wyatt Barnes said, he suddenly felt uncertain.

Uncertain whether a Daai Law Golden Immortal under a hundred years old entering that small world would indeed be a sure thing, without any life-threatening danger.

And just as Daven Buckingham nodded in agreement, three voices in unison came from outside the mansion:

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader!"

...

Upon hearing the voices, Daven Buckingham knew that the three top-grade alchemists from the Grand Unity Immortal Sect had arrived, and he promptly responded:

"Three Alchemists, come in."

After saying this, Daven Buckingham added, "Alchemist Barnes has been here for a while, waiting for you all."

In saying this, there was an obvious hint of dissatisfaction in Daven Buckingham’s tone.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes saw the three top-grade alchemists from the Grand Unity Immortal Sect.

The three alchemists.

Two elderly and one middle-aged man.

"Are you Alchemist Barnes?"

Among them, an elderly man wearing a gray robe, with a medium build, upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, scrutinized him, extending his Divine Sense without restraint, covering Wyatt Barnes.

"You... are actually under a hundred years old?"

After a moment, the gray-robed elder paused, and upon looking at Wyatt Barnes again, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Under a hundred years old?"

As the gray-robed elder’s words fell, the other elder and the middle-aged man also extended their Divine Sense toward Wyatt Barnes at the first opportunity.

In an instant, they determined through the unintentionally revealed flesh and blood aura that Wyatt Barnes was indeed under a hundred years old!

This was a ’young man’ not yet a hundred years old since birth.

"A top-grade alchemist under a hundred years old?"

The other elder, wearing a green robe with a tall stature, once again looked at Wyatt Barnes with a hint of skepticism in his eyes.

"Since the Sect Leader says he is a top-grade alchemist, it probably isn’t false... if he’s had good fortune, being under a hundred and obtaining a top-grade celestial fire isn’t impossible."

The middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with a slender build and a slightly sallow complexion, said.

"Sect Leader... you say that he can refine the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’?"

The gray-robed elder first looked at Daven Buckingham, then set his eyes back on Wyatt Barnes, a face full of skepticism.
