Legend of Wyatt

’Cain Iron’, the Left Protector of the Sect of Grand Unity, is now undoubtedly the most sought-after figure within the sect, as he has recently become the third ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’ of the Sect of Grand Unity.

Moreover, there are rumors:

The Sect Leader of the Sect of Grand Unity plans to appoint Cain Iron as the second ’Sacrificial Officer’ of the sect.

As a result, under Cain Iron’s direct instruction, an elder from the Sect of Grand Unity immediately led Ares Cooper to complete the procedures for entering the sect and becoming a disciple.

Throughout the process, that elder was extremely polite to Ares Cooper.

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes was also relieved to take Leilany and follow Cain Iron to meet the Sect Leader of the Sect of Grand Unity.

"Young man, can you tell me... what is your relationship with Protector Iron?"

After Wyatt and the others left, the elder of the Sect of Grand Unity, who was guiding Ares Cooper through the procedures, a cheerful-looking elderly man with crane-like white hair, couldn’t help but curiously ask while enthusiastically treating Ares Cooper.

"Elder Lynch."

Ares Cooper smiled wryly, "If I told you I met Protector Iron for the first time today, would you believe me?"

"First time meeting Protector Iron today?"

Upon hearing Ares Cooper’s words, the elder known as ’Elder Lynch’ was initially stunned, then shook his head and said, "How is that possible! With the serious demeanor Protector Iron just had when instructing me to take care of you, your relationship with him is undoubtedly not simple!"

"Of course, if you don’t want to say, I won’t force you."

Elder Lynch had an ’I understand’ expression.

"Elder Lynch, I am telling the truth."

Ares Cooper sighed, then recounted the events of the day one by one, "These things, I fear, will soon spread throughout the City of Grand Unity and even reach the headquarters of the Sect of Grand Unity... by then, Elder Lynch, you will naturally know the truth."

"That young man in purple... is a ’Top-grade Alchemist’?"

After hearing Ares Cooper’s words, Elder Lynch widened his eyes in amazement and disbelief, "And... Protector Iron publicly promised: as long as that young man in purple is willing to join our Sect of Grand Unity, our sect will appoint him as ’Chief Alchemist’?"

Although Elder Lynch is just an ordinary elder within the Sect of Grand Unity, and himself just a ’Upper Immortal of Love Rowan.’

However, in terms of seniority, he’s an elder within the Sect of Grand Unity.

Therefore, regarding their sect’s Protector Iron, he can be said to have a very deep understanding, and knows that Protector Iron is definitely not someone who makes baseless claims, nor could he use such a pretense to deceive that young man in purple into joining the Sect of Grand Unity.

And regarding the honor of ’Chief Alchemist,’ he also knows what it represents—it signifies the highest honor among the alchemists within the Sect of Grand Unity, and only the most outstanding alchemists are worthy of such an honor.

"So, that young man’s alchemical skills surpass those of our Sect of Grand Unity’s several top-grade alchemists? Otherwise, Protector Iron would never have made such a promise to him!"

Elder Lynch was shocked, it took him a while to recover, then he looked at Ares Cooper again, his eyes showing intense envy.

"Young man, you’ve made an incredible friend."

Elder Lynch sighed.

"Indeed... having him as a friend is a blessing acquired from my three lifetimes of cultivation."

Ares Cooper nodded, a flash of gratitude passing deep in his eyes.

That gratitude was towards Wyatt Barnes.

If not for Wyatt Barnes, he could never have had the opportunity to join one of the three immortal sects of the Desolate Territory— the Sect of Grand Unity.

On the other side.

Led by Cain Iron, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany soared into the sky from the void where the nine hundred ’Lower Immortal Isles’ are located, passing through the void where the ninety ’Central Immortal Isles’ are situated.

Finally, they arrived at the void where the nine ’Upper Immortal Isles’ are located.

This void is hidden behind the clouds and mist, and multiple formations are set up in isolation. Without Cain Iron, the Left Protector of the Sect of Grand Unity and Seven Stars Immortal Lord, to dissolve the formations, Wyatt Barnes could not reach this location.

Even though Leilany is by his side with extraordinary powers, just relying on Leilany’s strength alone would still not be enough to reach this place.

After all, currently, Leilany is merely an ’Upper Immortal of Love Rowan.’

And the high-level authorities of the Sect of Grand Unity entrenched within the nine Upper Immortal Isles are ’Immortal Lord’ entities, even the weakest among them is at the ’One Yuan Immortal Lord’ level, surpassing the pinnacle of Upper Immortal of Love Rowan.

The nine ’Upper Immortal Isles,’ suspended behind the clouds and mist like aerial fortresses, are arranged in a very systematic manner. One ’Upper Immortal Isle’ is surrounded by the other eight like stars encircling the moon.

The other eight Upper Immortal Isles have three seated in the inner circle and five in the outer circle.

"Sect Leader!"

Cain Iron led Wyatt Barnes and Leilany to the courtyard of a sprawling estate within the central upper immortal isle and respectfully called out inside:

"Alchemist Barnes has arrived."

On the way, Cain Iron had already used an Immortal Talisman to inform the Sect Leader of the Sect of Grand Unity about Wyatt Barnes’ willingness to join the sect.

So, now that Wyatt Barnes has been brought over, he needs no further explanation.

"Sect Leader of Taiyi Immortal Sect ’Daven Buckingham’, welcome, Alchemist Barnes, to join Taiyi Immortal Sect!"

Almost as soon as Cain Iron finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes felt a powerful aura rising from the sprawling estate ahead, followed closely by the appearance of a towering figure before him.

It was a middle-aged man, tall and wearing a white robe, with a firm countenance, sharp brows, exuding authority without anger, yet at this moment, he had a smile on his face, giving off a feeling of a gentle spring breeze.

Listening to this man’s words, he was evidently the current Sect Leader of Taiyi Immortal Sect, Daven Buckingham!

"Sect Leader Buckingham."

Wyatt Barnes nodded and greeted Daven Buckingham.

After offering a slight smile to Wyatt Barnes, Daven Buckingham’s eyes momentarily fell upon Leilany before shifting away, though a trace of amazement still flashed within them.

In all his life, it was the first time he had seen such a flawless beauty, one could say without any blemish.

Even though he had lived long and had a heart as calm as still water, he couldn’t help but feel a ripple rise in his heart.

It was a man’s instinct, unrelated to anything else.

Regarding his family elder ’Jorge Yellow’, who was killed by Cain Iron for disgracing this woman, Cain Iron had already informed him through the Immortal Talisman.

He approved of Cain Iron’s actions in this matter.

As for Cain Iron killing the Immortal Lords from Thousand Spider Immortal Sect and Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, he also learned of this from the Immortal Talisman, but he did not care.

Cain Iron acted accordingly; they need not fear repercussions from Thousand Spider Immortal Sect and Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.

"Alchemist Barnes."

Daven Buckingham looked at Wyatt Barnes and spoke openly: "The promise from Protector Iron is the promise from our Taiyi Immortal Sect to you. I trust him... since he says your alchemy skills are enough to make you the ’Chief Alchemist’ of our Taiyi Immortal Sect, from now on, you are our Chief Alchemist!"

Actually, Daven Buckingham trusted Cain Iron so much because Cain Iron had told him that Wyatt Barnes could refine top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’.

To say nothing else, just this point alone sets him apart from the other top-grade alchemists of their Taiyi Immortal Sect.

"However..."

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Daven Buckingham looked at Wyatt Barnes and said, "Alchemist Barnes, before announcing you as our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s ’Chief Alchemist’, I’d like you to meet our other three top-grade alchemists for an exchange..."

"What do you think?"

As he said this, Daven Buckingham began to seek Wyatt Barnes’s opinion.

"Sect Leader Buckingham, you mean for me to compete with the three top-grade alchemists, so that they are convinced and willingly accept me as your Taiyi Immortal Sect’s ’Chief Alchemist’, right?"

Wyatt Barnes looked deeply at Daven Buckingham, his wise gaze seemingly piercing directly into Daven Buckingham’s inner thoughts.

"Alchemist Barnes, you need not compare anything else with them... simply refining a top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’ in front of them will suffice. By then, they will naturally be convinced."

Daven Buckingham said.

"What if I am unwilling to refine Rowan Heaven Pill in front of them, or unwilling to compete with them?"

Wyatt Barnes asked, "If that’s the case... Sect Leader Buckingham, are you still willing to make me your Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Chief Alchemist? If it’s difficult for you... I can leave right now."

Saying this, Wyatt Barnes once again looked deeply at Daven Buckingham.

"This..."

Daven Buckingham did not expect Wyatt Barnes to say this, and for a moment was unsure how to respond.

If Wyatt Barnes does not reveal his skill in front of the three top-grade alchemists of their Taiyi Immortal Sect, and he rashly announces Wyatt Barnes as their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s ’Chief Alchemist’, the other three top-grade alchemists will surely have complaints, possibly even leaving the Taiyi Immortal Sect in a fit of anger.

After all, the three top-grade alchemists of Taiyi Immortal Sect are merely sacrificial officers, having no strong loyalty to Taiyi Immortal Sect, and may leave anytime if they feel like it.

"Alchemist Barnes..."

Cain Iron’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words.

Cain Iron had just opened his mouth, and before he could proceed, Daven Buckingham, almost as if having made a significant decision, spoke to Wyatt Barnes with solemnity: "Alchemist Barnes, even if you are unwilling to meet them... I can still declare you as our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s ’Chief Alchemist’!"

"Sect Leader!"

Cain Iron’s expression changed drastically.

Although he felt Wyatt Barnes’s value far exceeded that of the other three top-grade alchemists in their Taiyi Immortal Sect, he did not want the three top-grade alchemists to leave as a consequence of keeping Wyatt Barnes alone.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Daven Buckingham’s words, Wyatt Barnes was a bit surprised; after glancing at the anxious expression of Cain Iron, he once again looked at Daven Buckingham, gave a faint smile, and said: "Sect Leader Buckingham, I was merely joking earlier..."

"Please arrange for me to meet with the three alchemists!"
