Legend of Wyatt

"So, he’s the ’Ba Gua Immortal Lord’, no wonder..."

"Taichi Immortal Sect seems to be the top sect of the Desolate Territory. However, it’s said that in the Taichi Immortal Sect, the strongest is that Taichi Ancestor, who is just the ’Ba Gua Immortal Lord’... Why does he seem to have no qualms about the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect?"

"Indeed... Just now, he showed no respect to the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect!"

"Isn’t he afraid that by doing so, he’ll bring disaster upon the Taichi Immortal Sect?"

...

After learning the identity of the Taichi Ancestor, many people were discussing that the way Taichi Ancestor showed no respect to the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect might bring disaster to the Taichi Immortal Sect.

At this moment, an informed person immediately argued:

"That Taichi Ancestor of the Taichi Immortal Sect indeed showed no respect to the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect... But, think about it, why should he show respect to the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect? The other party is merely his junior at best."

"Exactly! Although the overall strength of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect is indeed stronger than Taichi Immortal Sect, both are top sects of the Southeast Six Regions, and are equal to a certain extent. It’s not just about current strength... Who knows if Taichi Immortal Sect still has Immortal Lords at the level of Ten Directions secretly protecting the sect in the Southeast Six Regions?"

"Right... If Xuan Tian Immortal Sect makes a move against Taichi Immortal Sect, the incident from tens of thousands of years ago may happen again."

"That Taichi Ancestor of Taichi Immortal Sect has already given Xuan Tian Immortal Sect enough face... If not for giving Xuan Tian Immortal Sect face, do you think the three beside the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect could have survived?"

"Indeed. If these three hadn’t joined Xuan Tian Immortal Sect and remained loose cultivators... Just now, with their offense against Taichi Ancestor, Taichi Ancestor definitely wouldn’t have spared their lives!"

...

After Wyatt Barnes and his group left, the place where they had the conflict with the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham, became even more lively.

And all of this was unknown to Wyatt Barnes and his group.

Under the guidance of Taichi Ancestor, Wyatt Barnes and his group soon arrived at the residence of Taichi Immortal Sect’s members in Dan Dao City of the Desolate Domain.

"Alchemist Barnes, regarding today’s incident, I didn’t go too far and gave Xuan Tian Immortal Sect enough face, so there’s no need to worry about Xuan Tian Immortal Sect causing us trouble... However, that Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect, ’Preston Buckingham’, certainly won’t let it go easily."

In the residence, before parting, Taichi Ancestor looked at Wyatt Barnes with a serious expression and said, "So, if there’s nothing important, you better not leave this residence without permission... Even if you wish to go out, remember to let me know first, and I’ll accompany you."

"Exactly!"

Hunter Swayer nodded in agreement, then looked at Wyatt Barnes, and said earnestly, "Alchemist Barnes, in the coming month, if you wish to leave, be sure to inform the Ancestor and don’t leave without permission."

"That Preston Buckingham, as the Junior Sect Master of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect, has considerable influence that shouldn’t be underestimated... Moreover, the power he can mobilize, not to mention his own strength, is something neither you nor Leilany can contend with."

Hunter Swayer cautioned.

Although Russel Yorke and Joshua Davies didn’t speak, they both nodded in agreement.

"Understood."

Wyatt Barnes nodded. Even if Taichi Ancestor and Hunter Swayer didn’t remind him, he wouldn’t leave without permission.

Though he previously acted brazenly in front of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect’s Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham, it was because Taichi Ancestor was present, so he wasn’t worried about how the other party would deal with him...

Once he leaves this residence privately and steps out of Taichi Ancestor’s protection, Preston Buckingham’s revenge would be a breeze.

"My strength is still too weak right now..."

After bidding farewell to Taichi Ancestor and others, Wyatt Barnes sighed secretly.

Now, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany had just entered a courtyard in the residence, which they had chosen as their dwelling. It was close to where Taichi Ancestor and the others lived, so they could easily support each other if anything happened.

In this courtyard, there are three rooms in total, and the yard is quite spacious, filled with various flowers and plants, as well as several small trees, giving it a fresh and elegant feel that makes people feel comfortable.

"Brother Wyatt, is that Xuan Tian Immortal Sect very powerful? Why does it seem... even that old man is somewhat wary of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect?"

Upon entering the courtyard, Leilany curiously asked Wyatt Barnes.

In Leilany’s view, the old man who brought them to Dan Dao City of the Desolate Domain this time was a respected figure even by the Sect Leader of Taichi Immortal Sect and was the number one powerhouse of Taichi Immortal Sect.

And for such a powerhouse to be wary of a sect called ’Xuan Tian Immortal Sect’, it naturally piqued her curiosity.

Of course, it’s just a bit of curiosity.

Although Wyatt Barnes had learned quite a bit about ’Xuan Tian Immortal Sect’ from Taichi Ancestor, Hunter Swayer, and others on the way here.

However, because Leilany was focused on understanding the Immortal Method and Divine Ability at the time, she didn’t hear their conversation.

Hence, Leilany had no concept of Xuan Tian Immortal Sect.

"Leilany, the Xiantian Sect is the top sect in the Southeastern Six Domains..."

Facing Leilany’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes explained in detail the power of the Xiantian Sect and its current standing in the Southeastern Six Domains, ensuring that Leilany could fully understand.

"That Xiantian Sect... has three ’Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs’?"

Even though Leilany usually remained calm, she couldn’t help but be slightly shocked upon learning that the Xiantian Sect had three Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs.

"Brother Leandro... if I remember correctly, even the old man who brought us here, the strongest of the Taiyi Sect, is merely an ’Eight Trigrams Immortal Monarch’, right?"

Leilany asked.

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded, "The Elder Ancestor is indeed an Eight Trigrams Immortal Monarch."

"Between an Eight Trigrams Immortal Monarch and a Ten Directions Immortal Monarch, there’s still a ’Nine Palaces Immortal Monarch’... In other words, the old man’s power is two levels lower than those three Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs in the Xiantian Sect!"

Leilany murmured, "And within the Xiantian Sect, beneath the Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs, there must be Nine Palaces Immortal Monarchs... In this case, the strength of the Xiantian Sect undoubtedly surpasses that of the Taiyi Sect."

"Brother Leandro."

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Leilany asked again, "Since the Xiantian Sect is so much stronger than the Taiyi Sect... why did the old man dare to treat the Xiantian Sect’s Junior Sect Master that way?"

"Isn’t he worried that the Junior Sect Master’s father, the Sect Leader of the Xiantian Sect, would be furious and use the sect’s full power against the Taiyi Sect?"

"If the Xiantian Sect targets the Taiyi Sect... the Taiyi Sect probably can’t stand against it, right?"

Leilany asked.

"Given the current power shown by the two sects, if the Xiantian Sect were to attack the Taiyi Sect, the Taiyi Sect would have no chance to retaliate... even if the other two immortal sects of the Desolate Territory were to assist, they couldn’t withstand the power of the Xiantian Sect."

Wyatt said.

"Given this... why does the old man still dare to treat the Junior Sect Master of the Xiantian Sect that way? Isn’t he afraid the Xiantian Sect Sect Leader would stand up for his child?"

Leilany asked again.

"The Elder Ancestor has the backing of the Taiyi Sect; he represents the Taiyi Sect... and as a top sect in the Southeastern Six Domains, the Taiyi Sect has its dignity. If the Elder Ancestor were afraid of even the Junior Sect Master of the Xiantian Sect, it wouldn’t take long before the entire Pill Tao City was flooded with rumors belittling the Taiyi Sect."

"A person lives for pride, a tree fights for bark... Sometimes, some things cannot be backed down from."

Wyatt said.

"Besides, what the Elder Ancestor did wasn’t excessive... If the Xiantian Sect Leader were to stand up for his child because of this, it would actually bring a bad reputation."

"Taking a step back... Even if the Xiantian Sect Leader wants to use the sect’s full power against the Taiyi Sect, the other high ranks of the Xiantian Sect might not agree, nor might the three Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs of the Xiantian Sect."

Wyatt continued.

"Why?"

Leilany was puzzled, "With the strength of the Xiantian Sect, eradicating the Taiyi Sect doesn’t seem like a difficult task, right?"

"That’s true."

Wyatt nodded, and then, with a flash of insight, he continued, "But this is only based on the visible strength of the two sects... Who can say for sure that there isn’t a hidden Ten Directions Immortal Monarch backing the Taiyi Sect?"

"I heard from the Elder Ancestor... about ten thousand years ago, there was a sect in the Universal Domain at its peak, and it was the top sect in the Southeastern Six Domains back then, with five Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs, even stronger than the current Xiantian Sect."

"At that time, the Junior Sect Master of the Taiyi Sect accidentally killed a descendant of a Ten Directions Immortal Monarch of that sect, igniting conflict between the two sects... The Taiyi Sect’s Sect Leader offered his son’s life as a form of reparation, hoping to quell the sect’s anger."

"After all, the strongest power of the Taiyi Sect at that time was just one Eight Trigrams Immortal Monarch... similar to today’s Taiyi Sect."

"The Taiyi Sect’s Sect Leader, for the greater good, could only sacrifice his son’s life."

"Yet... even when the Taiyi Sect’s Sect Leader sacrificed his son’s life, that sect still wouldn’t relent. The Ten Directions Immortal Monarch who lost his descendant personally stepped in, annihilating all above Immortal Monarch level in the Taiyi Sect, and then tried to completely erase the Taiyi Sect!"

"At the critical moment for the Taiyi Sect’s survival, two Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs emerged... Those two Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs had strength infinitely close to ’Unity Immortal Kings’, and one of them easily killed that sect’s Ten Directions Immortal Monarch."

"Then, the two of them went to that sect... gradually defeated and killed that sect’s other four Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs one by one!"

"And that sect was subsequently eradicated, disappearing completely from the historical annals."
