Legend of Wyatt

Before Wyatt Barnes, Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies could gather their thoughts, the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect, ’Daven Buckingham’, vanished as if into thin air, completely disappearing from the sight of the four.

Only his voice continued to echo in Wyatt Barnes’ ears:

"Alchemist Barnes, I will now go meet the Elder Ancestor... I believe the Elder Ancestor will surely be willing to also use our Taiyi Sect’s ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’ as a wager to support you!"

Listening to Daven Buckingham.

He clearly intends to find the Taiyi Sect’s ’Elder Ancestor’, who is also currently the only ’Immortal Lord’ of the Taiyi Sect, to tell him about Wyatt Barnes’ participation in the Dan Dao Conference two years later and their plans to place a wager.

Having witnessed Wyatt Barnes’ almost ’perverse’ speed with the heating cauldron, Daven had full confidence in him!

"This..."

Joshua Davies was dumbfounded.

"I never expected the Sect Leader to have such a crazy side."

Hunter Swayer smiled wryly, knowing the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect for many years, yet seeing him in such a state for the first time.

"If we could wager in addition to the three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, a King Grade Immortal Artifact... Such a wager could even compete for a Monarch Level Immortal Method or Divine Ability that encompasses both attack-speed-defense."

Russel Yorke exclaimed.

"A Monarch Level Immortal Method or Divine Ability with attack-speed-defense?"

Almost as Russel Yorke finished speaking, Wyatt’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

We previously mentioned that the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities encompassing both attack and defense, or attack and speed, are far more valuable than singular ones of the same level.

In fact, an Immortal Method or Divine Ability encompassing both attack and defense or attack and speed is as valuable as more than three singular ones of the same level.

And those encompassing attack-speed-defense surpass even those that individually encompass attack-defense or attack-speed.

A person, even after comprehending an Immortal Method or Divine Ability with both attack and defense, still needs to comprehend a mobility type Immortal Method or Divine Ability.

A person, even after comprehending an Immortal Method or Divine Ability with both attack and speed, still needs to comprehend a defense type Immortal Method or Divine Ability.

However, once directly comprehending an Immortal Method or Divine Ability with attack-speed-defense, one does not need to learn other singular Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities, reaching completeness in one go.

For the same talent, the time it takes to comprehend an Immortal Method or Divine Ability with attack-speed-defense is much shorter than it would be to learn multiple Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities.

Just like how comprehending an Immortal Method or Divine Ability with attack-defense is more efficient than simultaneously learning two singular Divine Abilities.

Among Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities of the same level, the most efficient are those encompassing attack-speed-defense!

"The profound sword discipline, ’Supreme Heart Sword’, that Breezy Wind left me, is equivalent to an Earth Grade Immortal Method with attack-speed-defense!"

Wyatt Barnes had experienced the ’Supreme Heart Sword’ that was like an Earth Grade Immortal Method with attack-speed-defense and naturally knew:

Such Immortal Methods are far superior to any other singular Immortal Methods, even better than those that only encompass both attack and defense or attack and speed.

"Although I am the last to enter the sect among the three of us... I have been here for some time. Today is also my first time seeing the Sect Leader in such a state, completely unlike a master of a sect."

Russel Yorke shook his head with a smile.

"Actually, it can be understood."

Hunter Swayer laughed, "Having witnessed and confirmed Alchemist Barnes’ heating cauldron speed, our Sect Leader is unreservedly trusting in Alchemist Barnes... Since it’s a sure bet, why not increase the stakes?"

"As you mentioned earlier... If we add our Sect’s King Grade Immortal Artifact, it could even enable us to bet on a Monarch Level Immortal Method or Divine Ability with attack-speed-defense."

"Once our Sect obtains a Monarch Level Immortal Method or Divine Ability with attack-speed-defense, not only will our Sect’s strength greatly increase, but the Sect Leader will also go down in history as the first Taiyi Sect Leader to acquire such a method or ability, etching his name into the Taiyi Sect’s history forever!"

"This is extremely tempting for the Sect Leader."

Hunter Swayer’s words thoroughly analyzed the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect’s ’loss of composure’.

"Alchemist Barnes!"

After speaking, Hunter Swayer turned towards Wyatt Barnes and said seriously, "Two years later is the ’Dan Dao Conference’... For the next two years, I would not recommend you to comprehend the sect’s Monarch Level mobility type Immortal Method and attack type Divine Ability."

"Because, within two years, even if you try to comprehend that Monarch Level mobility method and ability, you’re unlikely to learn much."

"And two years later, you could potentially gain a Monarch Level mobility method or ability that encompasses attack-defense or attack-speed... even those with attack-speed-defense, with some luck, are not beyond your reach."

"So, in the next two years, you should focus on Alchemy... and in other times, continue your regular training."

Hunter Swayer’s words came across as earnest and sincere.

"Indeed."

Joshua Davies nodded in agreement with Hunter Swayer.

"That’s how it should be."

Russel Yorke also nodded at Wyatt Barnes, "Instead of wasting time on meaningless endeavors, it’s better to delve earnestly into Pill Tao... If you find it monotonous, calm your mind with some training, and once tranquil, continue your studies in Alchemy."

"For the next two years, if you have any questions about Dan Dao, Alchemist Barnes, feel free to ask me... I will be open and thorough in my responses!"

Hunter Swayer was the first to express his willingness.

"Same here."

Russel Yorke followed suit, offering his support as well.

Although Joshua Davies didn’t speak, the look he gave Wyatt Barnes was enough to explain everything.

"Thank you to the three alchemists."

Wyatt quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Alchemist Barnes, no need to thank us... After all, if you do indeed win a Monarch Level Immortal Method or Divine Ability at the upcoming Pill Tao convention in two years, benefiting both yourself and Sect, we as Sacrificial Officers of Taiyi Immortal Sect will certainly share in your glory."

Russel Yorke smiled and said.

"Perhaps Alchemist Barnes will win an Immortal Method or Divine Ability that offers both offense and speed for yourself and the Sect."

Hunter Swayer chimed in optimistically.

A smile spread across Joshua Davies’s lips as well.

The four of them waited about half an hour, then Daven Buckingham returned, his face beaming.

"Sect Leader, did the Elder Ancestor agree?"

Seeing the cheerfulness on Daven Buckingham’s face, Hunter Swayer was already certain of the answer, yet still asked with a smile.

"He agreed."

Daven Buckingham nodded with a smile, then looked at Wyatt Barnes and said, "Alchemist Barnes, the Elder Ancestor said he will personally accompany you to the ’Pill Tao convention’ in two years... Firstly, to witness your alchemy skills, and secondly, to protect you."

"After all, having won a valuable Monarch Level Immortal Method or Divine Ability, without a strong companion, some might harbor ill intentions."

Daven Buckingham explained.

"In that case, please express my gratitude to the Elder Ancestor on my behalf."

Wyatt quickly said.

Of course, he understood that the Elder Ancestor probably wanted to accompany him not only to protect him and witness his alchemy skills but was also likely concerned about the possible loss of the King Grade Immortal Artifact along the way.

After all, it was the only King Grade Immortal Artifact possessed by Taiyi Immortal Sect, as well as the sole one in the Desolate Territory, carrying great significance for Taiyi Immortal Sect.

If Taiyi Immortal Sect were to lose the King Grade Immortal Artifact, their deterrent power would be far reduced from before.

After exchanging a few words with Daven Buckingham, Wyatt Barnes and his three companions soon took their leave.

Then, after departing, Wyatt bid farewell to Hunter Swayer and the others and returned to his own residence.

"Leilany."

Finding Leilany not cultivating, Wyatt proceeded to inform her of the day’s events.

"So... Brother Leandro, are you going to participate in the Pill Tao convention in two years?"

Leilany’s eyes lit up instantly and she eagerly looked at Wyatt, asking, "That convention gathers alchemists from the Desolate Territory and other regions beyond... it must be very lively, right?"

"What is it? Leilany, do you want to join the fun too?"

Wyatt could naturally see Leilany’s intention, and he chuckled while shaking his head.

"Can I?"

Leilany asked.

If Wyatt were going alone, she wouldn’t worry that he wouldn’t take her along.

But she had heard Wyatt say:

The ’Pill Tao convention’ in two years wouldn’t just have three other top-grade alchemists from Taiyi Immortal Sect attending, even Taiyi Immortal Sect’s sole ’Gossip Immortal Lord’, known as the ’Elder Ancestor of Taiyi’, would also go.

"Leilany, if you wish to come, you can certainly join me."

Wyatt affectionately reached out to touch Leilany’s head and said dotingly.

Last time, in the small world left by the Immortal King ’Princess Consort Rivera’, upon hearing the transmitted words from Princess Consort Rivera, he vaguely realized:

Although Leilany was a rare ’Thousand Fantasy Ice Fox’ of the Mystical Fox lineage seen once in a million years, she also seemed to be a thorn in the side to some among the Mystical Fox clan.

Otherwise, Princess Consort Rivera wouldn’t have reminded him not to let Leilany interact with others from the Mystical Fox lineage.

Additionally, Princess Consort Rivera said:

If the people of the Mystical Fox clan learn that Leilany is a ’Thousand Fantasy Ice Fox’, unless they are part of the Rivera lineage, she must be killed!

Considering the relationship between Princess Consort Rivera and Leilany, Wyatt easily guessed:

The Rivera lineage is a faction within the Mystical Fox clan with a delicate status, and other factions seem unwilling for the Rivera lineage to have a ’Thousand Fantasy Ice Fox’ appear.

Of course, all of this was merely Wyatt’s speculation.

Yet, even as a speculation, he could vaguely feel the helplessness of Leilany’s mother when she left her behind...

Pray tell, which mother would easily abandon her own children?

Thus, after leaving the small world, Wyatt had become even more tenderly affectionate and doting towards Leilany...

"Leilany wants to go."

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Leilany excitedly clung to Wyatt’s hand, laughing like an innocent child, pure and untainted.
