Chapter 2762: Summer Family Upheaval
Almost at the moment Annie Campbell’s words fell, the Third Prince ’Crue Dragonsmith’ couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
He hadn’t expected that despite there being some time before the Desolate Territory competition, the current Sect Leader’s junior sister of the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect was already poaching from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, wanting Wyatt Barnes to join the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect.
Though Crue Dragonsmith knew that, given Wyatt Barnes’s character, he couldn’t go back on his promise with him.
But Annie Campbell’s poaching right in front of him still made him very displeased.
However, displeased as he was, he truly didn’t dare to offend Annie Campbell.
"Not interested."
Hearing Annie Campbell’s words, Wyatt Barnes calmly responded.
After speaking, before Annie Campbell could react, he took Leilany’s hand, bypassed Annie Campbell, and left the Glory Palace.
Seeing this, Crue Dragonsmith felt secretly pleased again, yet he didn’t show it and quietly followed Wyatt Barnes with Francis Bushell, leaving only Annie Campbell standing there with an ugly expression.
At this moment, looking at the distant back of Wyatt Barnes, Annie Campbell felt that this man didn’t know what was good for him.
"You don’t want to join our Thousand Spider Immortal Sect, I’ll just make you join... After the Desolate Territory competition is over, even if you choose the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, I’ll have my master intervene and bring you over."
In Annie Campbell’s view, as long as her master, the previous Sect Leader of the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect, spoke up, the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect would definitely do her a favor by giving up Wyatt Barnes, an under-hundred-year-old Daai Law Golden Immortal.
Of course, the reason she has this thought is also because she doesn’t know that Wyatt Barnes, besides being an under-hundred-year-old Daai Law Golden Immortal, is also a top-grade Alchemy Immortal Master.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so confident.
On the other side.
After returning to the Third Prince’s palace, Wyatt Barnes began trying to refine the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Weaving Pill’...
However, as the saying goes, ’every beginning is difficult’, the process of refining the Weaving Pill was extremely arduous, and only after wasting quite a few herbs did Wyatt Barnes grasp some of the basics.
This did not surprise Wyatt Barnes, as he had been mentally prepared.
Previously, he could only refine lower-grade Immortal Pills, and later, when he could refine medium-grade Immortal Pills, before he had the chance to try refining them, the Divine Fire within him had already evolved into the third form, reaching the level comparable to ’top-grade Immortal Fire’.
In this way, he also equated to becoming a ’top-grade Alchemy Immortal Master’, directly capable of refining top-grade Immortal Pills.
"However, this third form of Divine Fire is much stronger than those top-grade Immortal Fires... The speed of heating the cauldron is too fast, far surpassing the top-grade Immortal Fire. Even the most famous top-grade Immortal Fires, their fastest speed cannot match even half of my third form Divine Fire."
In the quiet room, Wyatt Barnes sat cross-legged on the bed, in front of him, in the air, the top-grade Immortal Artifact pill furnace floated, with strands of gray flames emanating from it, which was precisely the Divine Fire.
In the myriad heavens, when Alchemy Immortal Masters refine Immortal Pills, there is a process known as heating the cauldron:
Infuse the Immortal Fire into the pill furnace before alchemy, letting the entire furnace’s temperature rise to its maximum, and then begin refining the Immortal Pills...
And the speed of this process reveals the quality of the Immortal Fire.
Just like Wyatt Barnes now, the speed of heating the cauldron with his Divine Fire was several times faster than the speeds of some well-known top-grade Immortal Fires he knew, the difference was extremely exaggerated.
"Even the best top-grade Immortal Fires would pale in comparison to this third form of Divine Fire... and now, I can use it to refine Pill Medicines."
"Once I grasp the tricks of refining top-grade Immortal Pills, even if it requires refining that top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, it shouldn’t be a difficult task."
Wyatt Barnes was full of confidence.
Of course, deep in his heart, there was more joy.
Because he hadn’t expected that the third form of Divine Fire, even placed among all known top-grade Immortal Fires in the myriad heavens, would be regarded as the most superior existence.
"However... what exactly is the Divine Fire?"
"Now, this is the third form of Divine Fire... what kind of strength will it have once it achieves the fourth shape, the fifth shape, the sixth shape, or even the seventh shape in the future?"
Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but draw a breath in secret.
"There is also that Primordial Divine Gold, which seems to be a similar entity to the Divine Fire... The Primordial Divine Gold within me so far is deemed the second form of Primordial Divine Gold. However, at present, it only shields my soul, preventing others’ Divine Sense and soul attacks from touching my soul."
While pondering what the Divine Fire could be, Wyatt Barnes recalled the Primordial Divine Gold, his soul’s side’s fragment of iron.
"The Primordial Divine Gold happened when Keer’s uncle in her past life, ’Ernest Summer’, gave me something that fused with the bizarre stone I found in the hometown on Cloud Skies Continent..."
"Wait... the second form of Primordial Divine Gold? Could it be... that bizarre stone, along with what Ernest Summer gave me, were each the first form of Primordial Divine Gold?"
Once this notion arose, it was hard to suppress.
Though this seemed plausible to him, Wyatt Barnes dared not be a hundred percent sure.
Little did Wyatt Barnes know, his guess was correct.
What Ernest Summer once gave him, along with the bizarre stone he obtained from the mundane plane homeland of Cloud Skies Continent, were both the first form of Primordial Divine Gold.
Upon merging, they turned into the current second form of Primordial Divine Gold.
Just as Wyatt Barnes was fully immersed in alchemy...
```
In that distant ’Divine Ruin Lands’, all is not calm...
The Summer Family of the Divine Ruin Lands.
As a top family in the Divine Ruin Lands, the Summer family’s territory extends over an immense area.
Usually, the Summer family’s territory is very tranquil.
But today, the Summer family’s territory is not only unrestful but is also shrouded by a vast, shadowy cloud that has suddenly appeared in the sky.
The cloud blots out the sky and sun, plunging the entire Summer family’s domain into endless darkness in an instant.
"Who dares to cause trouble for my Summer family!"
Suddenly, a rough voice like thunder booms out.
Along with the voice comes a blazing, dazzling blade light...
Bzzz!!
The blade light shoots into the sky, spreading out seemingly endlessly.
As soon as it appears, it splits the cloudy sky over the Summer family’s domain in half, letting sunlight shine once more, allowing all members of the Summer family to breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Clan Chief has taken action!"
"I wonder who this person is... They shouldn’t be someone from our Divine Ruin Lands, right?"
"If not from our Divine Ruin Lands, then they must be from one of those realms intersecting with our territory created by other Strongest Ones... Moreover, coming so specifically for our Summer family, they likely have some grudge against us."
"Hmph! Regardless of what grudge the visitor holds against our Summer family... with the Clan Chief taking action, even if they don’t die, they will shed a layer of skin!"
"That’s not certain... Since they dare to provoke us, they clearly are not afraid of the Clan Chief."
...
Just as the Summer family members were in heated discussion, the gaping tear in the clouds quickly closed up at an exaggerated speed, plunging the Summer family’s domain into darkness once more.
"Who exactly are you?!"
The rough thunderous voice boomed again, tinged with palpable anger.
It was clear that the owner of the voice was thoroughly enraged.
And in the wake of the owner’s words...
"Summer family head, do you remember the grudge of that single blade from years ago?"
A sharp and hoarse voice exploded in the darkened Summer family domain, echoing in everyone’s ears and instantly causing quite a few weaker Summer family members to be killed by the shock.
Even those with cultivation within the Summer family were injured by the shock.
Even many formidable figures in the Summer family had to muster their energy to fend off the sound wave attack inherent in that sharp and hoarse voice...
"You are... Baylor Colby?!"
The thunderous rough voice resounded again.
This time, the intense anger within the voice soared abruptly. Accompanied by a resounding ’bzzz’, another dazzling blade light shot skyward.
This blade light was even more powerful than the previous one, shredding the clouds and expanding in all directions.
It seemed to transform into a giant blazing white beast, greedily devouring the surrounding clouds with its gaping maw.
At the same time.
"No! The people whom the Clan Chief personally ordered to be imprisoned... are all gone!"
Above a vast mansion in a remote corner of the Summer family territory, figures from all directions converged swiftly, gathering in an instant. Among them, an elderly man in gray robes suddenly changed expression and exclaimed in shock.
"These were the key figures the Clan Chief ordered us to guard... and now, they’ve all vanished? If the Clan Chief gets wind of this, we’re in deep trouble!"
"What on earth happened? Could it be the powerful figure now attacking our Summer family territory has rescued those people?"
"Impossible! Just think, those people are mere ’mortals’ from secular planes; how could they have any connection with such a mighty figure... Also, didn’t you hear the Clan Chief call that person ’Baylor Colby’?"
"Baylor Colby? That name sounds somewhat familiar..."
"Baylor Colby... isn’t he ranked fifth in power among the Strongest Ones from the parallel dimension ’Land of Judgement’? How did he end up in our Divine Ruin Lands?"
...
Just as the group was deep in discussion.
A disheveled figure appeared in a place far from the Summer family territory.
"I’ve rescued them all... Scarlett should be relieved now."
