Legend of Wyatt

Wyatt Barnes had just said those words to probe the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Daven Buckingham, to see what choice the Sect Leader he was meeting for the first time would make.

Unexpectedly, Sect Leader Daven Buckingham showed immense boldness, willing to abandon the original three top-grade alchemists of the Taiyi Immortal Sect for the sake of keeping him.

Although he knew that Daven Buckingham made this choice more because he was a top-grade alchemist capable of refining the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, he was still impressed by Daven Buckingham’s boldness.

After all, on the other side were three top-grade alchemists who had been with the Taiyi Immortal Sect for some time, unlike him, a newly arrived top-grade alchemist at the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

If he were Daven Buckingham, he doubted if he could display such fortitude.

"Sect Leader Buckingham, I was just joking..."

"Please arrange for me to meet those three alchemists."

As Wyatt Barnes’s words fell, Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Left Protector, Cain Iron, showed no trace of the previous anxiety, and when he looked at Wyatt Barnes again, there was a slight appreciation in his eyes.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Sect Leader Daven Buckingham was initially stunned and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For the sake of a top-grade alchemist who could refine the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, abandoning the other three top-grade alchemists who had been in the Taiyi Immortal Sect for quite some time.

Such a choice placed significant pressure on Daven Buckingham.

Concerning Wyatt Barnes, he did not know much about him, not even how long Wyatt Barnes would remain in the Taiyi Immortal Sect...

If Wyatt Barnes stayed in the Taiyi Immortal Sect for a long time, even if abandoning the other three top-grade alchemists, Wyatt’s contribution to the Taiyi Immortal Sect wouldn’t be less than theirs.

But what if Wyatt Barnes didn’t stay in the Taiyi Immortal Sect for long?

In that case, the Taiyi Immortal Sect, having abandoned the three top-grade alchemists for Wyatt Barnes, would sustain a total loss!

"Alright! I will arrange it immediately!"

Daven Buckingham agreed repeatedly to Wyatt Barnes, his hurried demeanor making it hard to associate him with the mighty ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’.

"Protector Iron, I will go to meet those three Sacrificial Officers and arrange a time for them to meet Alchemist Barnes. I entrust you with arranging a place for Alchemist Barnes and Miss Leilany to rest."

Following up, Daven Buckingham looked at Cain Iron and said.

Towards the end, Daven Buckingham glanced at the Upper Immortal Isle under his feet, adding, "Let’s arrange for them to rest on the ’Main Island’."

"Alchemist Barnes, Miss Leilany, I will take my leave first and come back to find you later."

After greeting Wyatt Barnes and Leilany, Daven Buckingham disappeared from their sight in a flash, as if vanishing into thin air.

Only Cain Iron, present at the scene, could trace Daven Buckingham’s figure, watching as he headed towards another Upper Immortal Isle.

"Alchemist Barnes, the Sect Leader places a high value on you."

After Daven Buckingham left, Cain Iron invited Wyatt Barnes and Leilany to step onto the Upper Immortal Isle, while also saying to Wyatt Barnes: "Among the nine Upper Immortal Isles of our Taiyi Immortal Sect, there is only one ’Main Island’, which is the one we are on now."

"Although the cultivation environment on this Main Island is not significantly different from the other eight Upper Immortal Isles... however, the significance it holds within our Taiyi Immortal Sect is unparalleled by the other eight Upper Immortal Isles."

"This Upper Immortal Isle has traditionally been the training ground for our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader and our Great Elder, and besides them, only the most distinguished guests of our Taiyi Immortal Sect can stay on this island."

"Even when those three top-grade alchemists came originally, the Sect Leader did not arrange for them to reside on the Main Island."

...

Cain Iron expressed with repeated sighs.

"I must admit I am a bit overwhelmed by such attention."

Upon hearing Cain Iron’s words, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes, smiled lightly, and said.

"Alchemist Barnes jokes... With your capability, before formally joining our Taiyi Immortal Sect, you are naturally our most distinguished guest, thus it is proper to arrange your stay on the Main Island."

Cain Iron smiled.

Under Cain Iron’s arrangement, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany settled into the ’Main Island’ among the nine Upper Immortal Isles of Taiyi Immortal Sect, while also distinctly feeling the dense spiritual energy on the Main Island.

"As expected of a sect possessing a lower-grade Immortal Crystal mine... The cultivation environment on the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Upper Immortal Isles is unparalleled by other places in the Desolate Territory."

After moving in, feeling the spiritual energy in the air, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but sigh.

"Moreover... the cultivation environment here is better than the extreme cultivation environment I can currently withstand. This means that cultivating here is akin to cultivating with the environment provided by the ’Divine Crystal’ on Leilany."

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes realized this.

Currently, being only a Daai Law Golden Immortal himself, he was unable to fully absorb and utilize the spiritual energy provided by a better cultivation environment.

Therefore, the cultivation environment he could withstand was limited at the moment.

"As it stands, cultivating here, I don’t need to rely on Leilany’s ’Divine Crystal’... However, once my cultivation level increases, when the current environment falls short of the extreme environment I can handle, I will indeed need to depend on Leilany’s Divine Crystal."

Wyatt Barnes knew this clearly.

Just like Leilany.

Leilany is a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’. Although the environment on the ’main island’ of the Nine Upper Immortal Isles of the Grand Unity Sect is excellent for cultivation, it is not yet sufficient to reach the extreme cultivation environment she can currently endure.

Therefore, cultivating by relying on the environment constructed from the ’Divine Crystal’ on her body is stronger than directly cultivating here.

"Brother Leandro... Will Leilany not need to wear a veil and hat in the future?"

After Cain Iron left, Leilany blinked her perfect autumn eyes and asked Wyatt Barnes.

"In the future, who knows..."

When Wyatt Barnes said this, Leilany was visibly disappointed, but upon hearing Wyatt’s next words, a smile that seemed to overshadow everything around her bloomed on her face.

"But, in this Desolate Territory, you don’t need to wear a veil or hat anymore."

This was Wyatt Barnes’ original words.

It made Leilany very happy.

Even though she might still need to wear a veil and hat after leaving the Desolate Territory, at least in this Desolate Territory, she doesn’t need to wear them anymore, so Leilany was content.

The saying ’contentment brings happiness’ might just describe Leilany at this moment.

While Wyatt Barnes, Leilany, and Ares Cooper were settling at the Grand Unity Sect’s residence, the nearby City of Grand Unity was far from peaceful.

"The Grand Unity Sect elder ’Jorge Yellow’, the Protecor of Thousand Spider Immortal Sect ’Lewis Bell’, and the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect elder ’Jack Thorn’... went together to the residence arranged by the Grand Unity Sect for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage?"

"And they all went for that perfect woman in the painting?"

"These three are notorious for their love of women in the Desolate Territory... If they visit, won’t that beauty meet a terrible fate?"

"What a pity for such a beauty!"

...

When the people of City of Grand Unity heard that three people from the three major sects of the Desolate Territory had gone to the residence arranged by the Grand Unity Sect for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage, and that those three were all ’Immortal Lord powerhouses’, they all felt the beauty in the painting was in grave danger.

"Jorge Yellow, Lewis Bell, and Jack Thorn are all Immortal Lord powerhouses, and not the weakest ’Yi Yuan Immortal Lords’, but even more powerful ’Yi Yi Immortal Lords’!"

"Their strengths are quite similar, the beauty will probably end up being shared among them."

"Shared? How do you share a living person?"

"Naturally, you can’t split a person... But, they could agree to take turns over time."

"That’s true."

"What a pity for such a beauty, falling into the clutches of those three."

...

The people of City of Grand Unity, not yet knowing the entire story, were all discussing sympathetically about the impeccable and stunning beauty in the painting.

"Hmph! Your information is outdated... You won’t believe it, but the beauty was safe and sound in the end, whereas Jorge Yellow, Lewis Bell, and Jack Thorn were all killed!"

With a cold snort, a person spoke up, plunging a tavern hall in one corner of City of Grand Unity into dead silence.

The tavern hall, lively a moment earlier, was lamenting the ill-fated beauty in the painting.

In the next instant, following a person’s cold snort, the entire hall suddenly went silent, eerily so, as if a pin drop could be heard.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

In the tavern hall, pairs of eyes all concentrated on the person who had spoken with a cold snort. It was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious clothes, with an extraordinary demeanor.

"Sir, you... are you saying this is true?"

An elderly man asked the middle-aged man in luxurious clothing gravely.

"I am a prince of a fief under the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation... Do you think I would lie? I was there today when Jorge Yellow, Lewis Bell, and Jack Thorn died, and I witnessed everything myself."

The middle-aged man said proudly.

The middle-aged man sat alone at a table, with two elderly men behind him, evidently his personal guards.

Given his imposing manner, not many doubted his words.

"Then, Your Highness... could you tell us about today’s events?"

A young man asked eagerly, looking at the middle-aged man who claimed to be a prince from a fief under the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

And at that moment, the eyes of a group of patrons in the tavern also lit up with interest...

Now, they were all curious:

How did those three Immortal Lord powerhouses from the three major Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory die?
