Legend of Wyatt

Once Leilany being under a hundred years old yet possessing the strength of a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’ is exposed, it will definitely invite a great deal of trouble, bringing her nothing but harm.

Therefore, Wyatt Barnes did not want Leilany’s age to be exposed.

The matter of her strength being exposed was already irreversible; as long as her true age was concealed, no one would set their eyes on Leilany and covet the various cultivation methods, Immortal Methods, and Divine Abilities she possessed...

"However, the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities Leilany has mastered... it feels like they’re definitely not as simple as Heaven‑grade Immortal Methods and Heaven‑grade Divine Abilities!"

Not long ago, Wyatt had wanted to try teaching Leilany the only Heaven‑grade Divine Ability he had mastered, the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’, but in the end the matter was dropped.

It wasn’t that Leilany couldn’t comprehend the Minor Devouring Technique, but that the auxiliary Divine Ability she herself had mastered was of a higher grade than the Minor Devouring Technique.

The reason it had yet to display power surpassing, or even comparable to, the Minor Devouring Technique was entirely because Leilany had not yet comprehended that Divine Ability to its highest realm; she still had a long way to go.

It wasn’t just auxiliary Divine Abilities; even her other Divine Abilities, and even her Immortal Methods, were the same.

The Immortal Methods, Divine Abilities, and even cultivation methods Leilany had mastered were extremely profound.

And all of that originated from Leilany’s ’inheritance memories’.

As for the cultivation method, Leilany had once tried to teach it to Wyatt, but Wyatt discovered that he couldn’t cultivate it.

As for the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, since Leilany herself had yet to thoroughly comprehend them, even if she wanted to teach them to Wyatt, it would be impossible in the short term.

Unless she completely comprehended those Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities.

Moreover, with the prior lesson of Leilany’s cultivation method being unsuitable for Wyatt’s cultivation, no one dared to say that once she fully comprehended the various Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities within her inheritance memories, she would then be able to successfully pass them on to others.

So Wyatt had never entertained any thoughts about the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities Leilany had mastered, merely feeling that it should be left to fate.

"Leilany, even if you don’t participate in the selection the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family is holding today, once I enter the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect in the future, you can follow me in as well... Besides, that selection isn’t much fun anyway. It’s hard enough for me to find a worthy opponent, let alone for you."

Wyatt continued.

He knew that the reason Leilany was interested in today’s selection was mostly because of curiosity and because she thought it would be fun.

After Wyatt’s words, Leilany obediently nodded. "All right... I’ll listen to you, Brother Wyatt."

"Brother Barnes."

After they waited for a while longer, the voice of the Thirteenth Prince, ’Crue Dragonsmith’, came from outside. "We should set off."

"Leilany, let’s go out."

Hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s voice, Wyatt, who had long been ready, took Leilany with him out of the guest courtyard, and they met up with Crue.

Behind Crue Dragonsmith, Francis Bushell followed as always.

"Brother Barnes, Miss Leilany."

Seeing Wyatt and Leilany, Crue greeted them enthusiastically, his face breaking into as radiant a smile as it could get.

These past ten days, Crue Dragonsmith could even wake up laughing from his dreams.

And all of this was because he had learned that, aside from being a Daai Law Golden Immortal under a hundred years of age, Wyatt was also a genuine ’Top‑grade Alchemy Immortal Master’.

With such a person helping him ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s emperor, it would be as easy as turning his hand!

Wyatt brought Leilany and, shoulder to shoulder with the leading Crue Dragonsmith, walked toward the place where the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation was holding the selection for the Desolate Territory Grand Competition slots, passing all the way through the palace’s Inner Courtyard, with Francis Bushell in attendance.

"Brother Barnes, this time’s selection is being held in the ’Glory Palace’ within our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s imperial palace... Glory Palace is an auxiliary palace that has existed within the imperial palace ever since our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation was founded."

On the way, Crue was the first to open his mouth and break the silence. "Glory Palace is named after a man called ’Glory’... That man was the right‑hand of an ancestor of our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family. The reason our Dragonsmith Family was able to found a nation owes a great deal to his功劳."

"For the sake of our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, Glory never married in his entire life, nor did he ever take in an adopted son or daughter... So later, when he was killed while protecting the ancestor of our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family, that ancestor built an auxiliary palace in the imperial palace named ’Glory Palace’ to commemorate him."

"Glory Palace is usually the place where we Imperial Family juniors spar with each other... The reason Glory Palace was designated as such is because our ancestor hoped that we would always remember ’Glory’, who risked his life for him back then and later died protecting him."

Crue spoke at length.

Wyatt nodded, whereas Leilany listened with great interest...

"Up ahead is Glory Palace. The statue in the center of the plaza in front of Glory Palace is Glory’s statue."

When they arrived outside a vast and magnificent auxiliary palace, Crue promptly pointed at that palace and spoke to Wyatt and Leilany.

With a single glance, Wyatt saw the auxiliary palace ahead, and also saw the statue in the center of the plaza in front of the palace.

The statue was of a middle‑aged man, tall and burly, with a natural air of authority between his brows. He held a pair of hammers in his hands, his head raised, his eyes fixed on the distant sky... The statue was over thirty meters tall, standing there like a small mountain.

"Those are the people from the various great royal palaces..."

Just as Wyatt saw groups of people coming from every direction, heading toward Glory Palace just like them, Crue Dragonsmith’s voice again sounded at just the right moment.

"Thirteenth Brother, where are those young powerhouses you gathered? Why haven’t I seen them?"

With a voice laced with provocation drifting over, a not-unfamiliar figure appeared in front of Wyatt Barnes. It was none other than the Seventh Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, Kye Dragonsmith, whom he had seen previously at the Nian Family auction house.

Behind Kye Dragonsmith still followed that black-robed old man. Only, after he appeared with Kye Dragonsmith and caught sight of Francis Bushell standing behind Crue Dragonsmith, a trace of instinctive dread flickered in his eyes.

Clearly, that battle at the Nian Family auction house had made him realize he was inferior to Francis Bushell.

"You’re not planning to forfeit, are you? Hahaha..."

Kye Dragonsmith walked up to Crue Dragonsmith, first asking with a mocking expression, then unable to help bursting into loud laughter.

"Seventh Brother seems full of confidence... I suppose your confidence comes from this one here?"

In the past, when provoked like this by Kye Dragonsmith, Crue Dragonsmith would have already blown up. But today he was unusually calm.

Facing Kye Dragonsmith’s sarcasm, not only did he not get angry, he even greeted Kye Dragonsmith with a smile, his gaze finally settling beside Kye Dragonsmith.

At Kye Dragonsmith’s side stood a young man with a stern face, like a "coffin face."

"If I’m not mistaken... you must be that Pole Wind from the Kingston Majestic Royal Palace?"

Crue Dragonsmith looked at the young man beside Kye Dragonsmith and asked, the smile on his face unchanged, as if he could remain unflustered even with Mount Tai collapsing before him.

"Thirteenth Prince."

Facing Crue Dragonsmith’s greeting, Pole Wind gave him a faint nod. "Today, I’m fighting on behalf of the Seventh Prince, not on behalf of the Kingston Majestic Royal Palace... I only hope the young powerhouses you’ve gathered, Thirteenth Prince, won’t disappoint me too much."

Seeing a brat from a royal palace, meeting him for the first time, dare to provoke him like this even when he was treating him with courtesy, a chilling gleam flashed deep within Crue Dragonsmith’s eyes.

"Looks like you have great confidence in yourself... I’m sure I won’t let you down."

Crue Dragonsmith gave Pole Wind a deep look as he spoke.

"I’ll be watching."

After saying that, Pole Wind closed his eyes, clearly not intending to speak any further.

"Hahaha... Thirteenth Brother, I’m also very much looking forward to the performance of the young powerhouses you’ve gathered."

As Pole Wind closed his eyes, making Crue Dragonsmith’s expression finally turn slightly overcast with rage, Kye Dragonsmith let out a hearty laugh, then added:

"But you’d best have them come sooner... If they’re late, the remaining spots in the selection will all belong to powerhouses, and they might not even win a single match."

"Hahahaha..."

After mocking Crue Dragonsmith for a while, without waiting for his response, Kye Dragonsmith laughed loudly as he led Pole Wind and the black-robed old man toward Glory Palace, and in the blink of an eye, entered Glory Palace with the crowd.

Wherever Kye Dragonsmith’s group of three passed, the people from the various royal palaces, gathered into a flowing crowd, automatically parted to open a path. From this, it could be seen that this "Seventh Prince" Kye Dragonsmith possessed no small deterrent power before the various royal palaces.

From beginning to end, Kye Dragonsmith intentionally ignored Wyatt Barnes and Leilany, because before he fully confirmed their identities, he did not dare lightly provoke them.

"Brother Wyatt... that so-called Seventh Prince is really annoying."

Leilany said unhappily.

"Miss Leilany, don’t worry. He won’t be smug for long... Although Pole Wind’s strength is decent, in front of Brother Barnes he’s nothing at all. This time, his wishful thinking of seizing ’first among the princes’ in this selection will most likely fall through."

Once Crue Dragonsmith’s expression eased, he repeatedly comforted Leilany.

"Hmph! Someone like him isn’t even worthy of being compared to my Brother Wyatt."

Hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, the little girl snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

"Yes, yes... Miss Leilany is right; that Pole Wind isn’t worthy of being compared to Brother Barnes. He’s not even fit to carry Brother Barnes’s shoes!"

Crue Dragonsmith chimed in repeatedly.

"This girl..."

Wyatt Barnes could only smile wryly and shake his head, then lifted his feet and, together with Leilany, entered Glory Palace alongside Crue Dragonsmith.

In this process, the deterrent power of Crue Dragonsmith, this Thirteenth Prince, was far inferior to that of the Seventh Prince Kye Dragonsmith. When people from the various royal palaces saw him, few stepped aside.

In the end, it was only when Francis Bushell revealed the mighty aura of a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal that a group of people was forced to open a path.

Very soon, the Fourth Prince, Judson Dragonsmith, and the other princes also arrived.

The people from the various royal palaces arrived one after another.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

And the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation also made a timely appearance once everyone had gathered.
