Legend of Wyatt

"In theory, it’s unlikely that the people of the Golden Light Palace would provoke an Immortal Lord... unless they have crossed someone with a powerful background, under the protection of an Immortal Lord."

The Thirteenth Prince, ’Crue Dragonsmith,’ as he spoke, glanced deeply at Wyatt Barnes towards the end.

It was as if Wyatt Barnes was the very person with a powerful background and under the protection of an Immortal Lord he was referring to.

The reason he thought this way was because he didn’t think the people of the Golden Light Palace could provoke an Immortal Lord.

An Immortal Lord is so powerful that even the lord of the Golden Light Palace, ’Jay Gold,’ would bow his head upon seeing one, let alone actively provoke an Immortal Lord.

So he speculated:

The Immortal Lord who acted must be someone behind the young man in purple before him.

The young man in purple himself was a Daai Law Golden Immortal under a hundred years old, and beside him was a Rowan Heaven Upper Immortal under a hundred years old...

He found it hard to believe that someone like this would have no background.

Initially, he thought Wyatt Barnes belonged to some powerful sect outside the Desolate Territory, but when Wyatt agreed to join the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, he dismissed this idea, because a sect member would never join another sect lightly.

In addition, considering Wyatt’s status as a top-grade alchemy Immortal master, he increasingly felt that Wyatt had an extraordinary background.

After all, to become a top-grade alchemy Immortal master, one must first acquire a top-grade Immortal flame, which is not something just anyone can obtain.

All these factors combined led him to further speculate:

Wyatt Barnes comes from a powerful family outside the Desolate Territory, is a member of a powerful family.

The family member joining a sect would have fewer concerns.

"What is it? Thirteenth Prince, are you thinking... that there is an Immortal Lord behind me, and that Immortal Lord annihilated the entire Golden Light Palace?"

Noticing Crue Dragonsmith’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes easily guessed his thoughts and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"I do have such a thought."

Crue Dragonsmith nodded, not denying it.

"I can only say... the annihilation of the Golden Light Palace does have something to do with me. However, the Immortal Lord who took action was not the one behind me. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Left Protector of the Taiyi Celestial Sect, ’Cain Iron.’

Wyatt Barnes spoke frankly.

Last time, Crue Dragonsmith had given up a Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact to exchange for a top-grade Immortal Artifact pill furnace for him, which had improved his impression of Crue Dragonsmith.

Although he had not yet regarded Crue Dragonsmith as a close friend, he considered him a friend to some extent.

"Cain Iron?"

Crue Dragonsmith’s pupils shrank suddenly, then he looked at Wyatt Barnes, asking in a grave tone, "Brother Barnes, why do you say that he was the one who acted?"

As a prince of an Upper Immortal Kingdom, he naturally knew who Cain Iron was.

Cain Iron was one of the most powerful individuals in the Taiyi Celestial Sect, a genuine ’Six Harmony Immortal Lord’!

The realm of ’Immortal Lord’ is divided into ten levels, and a ’One Element Immortal Lord’ is already enough to sweep across their Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, let alone a Six Harmony Immortal Lord who is five levels stronger than a One Element Immortal Lord!

Even as the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, he was no different from an ant in front of someone like Cain Iron.

Not to mention that as the Thirteenth Prince who was not favored by his father, the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, even if the favored Fourth Prince or Seventh Prince were killed by Cain Iron right in front of his father, the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation would not dare say a word.

Perhaps he would even apologize hastily, saying his son deserved to die!

The level of Cain Iron is so high that even if he becomes the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation in the future, he would still have to look up to him.

"Because he came to find me."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly, revealing every detail of the matter without any concealment, as he had nothing to hide.

"What?!"

"That Golden Light Prince ’Jay Gold’ actually hired a black market assassin to kill Miss Leilany?!"

Crue Dragonsmith’s face changed dramatically, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "He truly has such audacity! He deserves to die, deserves to die... If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have needed the Left Protector from the Taiyi Celestial Sect, I wouldn’t have let him go!"

"However..."

A moment later, as if recalling something, the murderous intent in Crue Dragonsmith’s eyes faded, and he looked at Wyatt Barnes with a surge of excitement, "Brother Barnes, did you... did you succeed in crafting that top-grade Immortal Pill, the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, raising his hand to offer the remaining two Rowan Heaven Pills to Crue Dragonsmith, "In this attempt, I successfully crafted three Rowan Heaven Pills... Leilany has taken one, and I have no immediate use for these two, so I’ll give them to you, Thirteenth Prince."

Two Rowan Heaven Pills!

Seeing Wyatt Barnes hand over two Rowan Heaven Pills, Crue Dragonsmith’s breathing grew rapid, his gaze upon the two pills filled with intense desire, as if he couldn’t wait to claim them as his own.

After all, two Rowan Heaven Pills represented two ’Rowan Heaven Upper Immortals.’"

For many stuck at the peak of the Daai Law Golden Immortal stage, just one Rowan Heaven Pill can guarantee a breakthrough to become a ’Rowan Upper Immortal.’

Such beings, as long as they are willing to grant Rowan Heaven Pills, can have others serve them loyally.

However, despite his longing, Crue Dragonsmith restrained himself, "Brother Barnes, let Leilany take these two Rowan Heaven Pills... It won’t be too late to give them to me once you have extras later on."

"Take it,"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "Leilany just took the Rowan Heaven Pill, and its potency remains unabsorbed, so the Rowan Heaven Pill is useless for her... As for me, I am still some distance away from the peak of Daai Law Golden Immortal, so I can’t use the Rowan Heaven Pill for now."

"The Rowan Heaven Pill is useless for Miss Leilany?"

Crue Dragonsmith was surprised by Wyatt Barnes’s statement.

Prior, the Weaving Pill had no effect on Leilany, which already amazed him.

Now, hearing that even the Rowan Heaven Pill is ineffective for Leilany, he felt mostly bewildered... Who exactly is this Miss Leilany? Not even a heavenly Rowan Upper Immortal, yet the Rowan Heaven Pill is already ineffective for her.

In the end, Crue Dragonsmith accepted the Rowan Heaven Pill.

"Brother Barnes, do you truly intend to assist Cain Iron in refining Rowan Heaven Pills someday?"

Crue Dragonsmith asked.

"Absolutely,"

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "A promise from Wyatt Barnes is unwavering... Moreover, this time, the actions of Protector Iron in wiping out the entire Golden Light Palace were ruthless, but I must honor this favor he showed me."

"Brother Barnes keeps his word; it is admirable."

Crue Dragonsmith praised.

...

Time flew by like a fleeting horse.

Unbeknownst to many, the day of the ’Desolate Territory Tournament’ arrived.

On this day, within the capital of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, a procession emerged majestically, led by a tall, middle-aged man seated upon a roofless chariot, his square-jawed face adorned with a golden dragon robe, black hair cascading down his back, with an expression of authority.

He was unmistakably Emperor Leif Dragonsmith of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation!

Leif Dragonsmith’s roofless chariot was pulled by nine immortal beasts resembling lions and tigers. Each of these beasts possessed thick, golden manes that glimmered under the sun, an awe-inspiring sight.

"Those are ’Lion-Tiger Beasts,’ possessing great strength and unparalleled speed, rivaling ordinary heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals,"

Within the crowd, a young man pointed to the foremost nine lion-tiger beasts, speaking to another young man in a purple robe beside him: "These nine lion-tiger beasts were raised with significant investment by our imperial family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, and are exceptionally rare."

The young man in the purple robe stood beside a woman dressed in white, wearing a white veil and hat.

Thus, his identity was naturally apparent:

It was ’Wyatt Barnes.’

Today was the day Emperor Leif Dragonsmith was leading fifty selected young powerhouses under a hundred years old to participate in the ’Desolate Territory Tournament,’ departing early from the capital of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

This ’Desolate Territory Tournament’ would be held in the ’City of Grand Unity,’ at the center of the Desolate Territory.

The City of Grand Unity was a city controlled by the ’Sect of Grand Unity,’ one of the three major celestial sects in the Desolate Territory.

The Desolate Territory Tournament usually rotates among the three cities controlled by the celestial sects in the Desolate Territory, and this time it was the turn of the City of Grand Unity, which was some distance from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, leading to an early departure from Ascendant Dragon.

However, some from other celestial nations that are farther from the City of Grand Unity set off even earlier.

Like the medium-level celestial nation ’Cloud Rock Celestial Nation,’ where Wyatt Barnes was previously, they departed earlier and were now closer to the City of Grand Unity compared to the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s party.

"Speed rivaling heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals..."

Upon hearing Thirteen Prince Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be surprised.

This was the first time, since arriving in the Spiritual Heaven of this celestial dimension, that he witnessed such powerful non-sentient immortal beasts, enough to match ’heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals,’ and they were raised.

"Raising such immortal beasts... It must require quite a few ’Daai Law Pills,’ right?"

Wyatt Barnes asked Crue Dragonsmith.

"Indeed."

Crue Dragonsmith nodded, "However, our imperial family of the Ascendant Dragon Nation can only nurture them to this extent."

"If we wish to advance them further, Daai Law Pills are ineffective, and we’ll need ’Origin Gold Pills’ to elevate them to peak Daai Law Golden Immortal and then use ’Rowan Heaven Pills’ to nurture them."

When speaking of this, Crue Dragonsmith shook his head, "But that, we cannot afford within the Ascendant Dragon Nation."

"Origin Gold Pills!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes glinted, "Origin Gold Pills are top-grade celestial pills for Golden Immortal-level beings, where Daai Law Golden Immortal beings benefit upon first consumption and can instantaneously ascend one cultivation level?"
