Legend of Wyatt

"Third Senior Sister, if he were a responsible man, he should take you far, far away... You can leave the Borderland and go to the ’Central Land’!"

"Once you’re in the Central Land, you won’t have to worry about being hunted by the master anymore... Not to mention that before the master achieves the breakthrough to ’Immortal King’, he generally wouldn’t leave the Borderland. Even if he did leave, finding you in the Central Land would be like searching for a needle in a haystack."

Alisson said in a deep voice.

"Leave the Borderland?"

Milana Harrington shook her head, "No, I can’t do that... If I did, it would be too ungrateful for all the years of nurturing and teaching from the master."

"I’ve already decided... When I can’t hide it anymore, I’ll let the master handle it, even if it means death without regret."

As Milana Harrington spoke, her tone grew increasingly firm, clearly resolved to meet her fate.

"Third Senior Sister..."

Listening to Milana Harrington’s words and feeling the firmness in her tone, Alisson’s eyes turned red, her fists clenched tightly at some point, her whole body trembling.

In the depths of her gaze, a hint of determination flashed by and disappeared.

Of course, Milana Harrington did not notice this.

...

The residence where the people of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect stayed.

Two days after Wyatt Barnes sent off the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect disciple, Alisson, he took Leilany to visit Elder Ancestor, saying he wanted to go out for a stroll.

"Alchemist Barnes, even if you hadn’t come today, I was planning to visit you in the next couple of days... We’ve been in the Desolate Domain’s Pill Tao City for several days, but our Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s pill and herb store has not yet opened. We need to put some effort into it."

Elder Ancestor said.

"Everything can be arranged by Elder Ancestor... However, I plan to take Leilany to tour Pill Tao City for the next two days. Perhaps in that time, the three alchemists can head to the store and make arrangements?"

Wyatt Barnes suggested.

"That sounds feasible... For the next two days, Alchemist Swayer and the others can go to the store, and I’ll accompany you and the girl Leilany around Pill Tao City."

Elder Ancestor nodded.

He wasn’t worried about the safety of Hunter Swayer and the other two, as they were all top-grade alchemists, and had no known enemies.

But Wyatt Barnes and Leilany were different.

Not to mention that the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Harmony Immortal Sect likely bore a grudge against the two, even without the conflict with the Junior Sect Master, he wouldn’t let Wyatt Barnes and Leilany wander around Pill Tao City alone.

To him, Wyatt Barnes’ safety was crucial.

After all, this time he was here primarily to ensure Wyatt Barnes’ safety, so Wyatt could secure the Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, which were both offensive and defensive, quick and steady, for the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!

As for the ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’, although with Wyatt Barnes’ capabilities in Pill Tao he believed Wyatt could secure it while playing the fool...

However, the importance of a King Grade Immortal Artifact to a sect far exceeds that of Monarch Level Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities.

Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, even if lost, are merely shared; they suffer no real loss themselves.

But if a King Grade Immortal Artifact is lost, it’s completely gone.

And the loss of a King Grade Immortal Artifact is enough to drive any top sect in the Southeast Six Domains mad. Though they may refrain from open conflict to save face, they would certainly work secretly to reclaim the King Grade Immortal Artifact.

Unless the sect that lost the King Grade Immortal Artifact is vastly inferior to the sect that won it...

But such a situation is simply impossible for the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

After all, the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s strength ranks at the bottom among the top sects of the Southeast Six Domains.

Even if they won another top sect’s King Grade Immortal Artifact, it would be challenging to keep it.

"Elder Ancestor, even if you don’t accompany us, it’s fine... Now, the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Harmony Immortal Sect likely already knows that I am the chief alchemist of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and also a top-grade alchemist."

Hearing Elder Ancestor’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said: "As for my top-grade immortal flame, once unleashed, even an Immortal Lord must perish, let alone him... I suppose he wouldn’t dare to take the risk and attack me lightly."

"Alchemist Barnes, things aren’t as simple as you think."

Elder Ancestor sighed: "Even if you want mutual destruction and unleash the top-grade immortal flame, you still need to detect the danger first to react in time and unleash the flame..."

"If the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Harmony Immortal Sect acts personally, it is fine, but if he sends an Immortal Lord to attack you, as long as the Immortal Lord strikes when you’re unprepared, how could you react and unleash the flame?"

"Unless your Divine Sense is at the Immortal Lord level... Otherwise, if an Immortal Lord tries to ambush you, you couldn’t react in time."

Elder Ancestor said.

If Wyatt Barnes were an Immortal Lord, even a mere ’One Yuan Immortal Lord’, he wouldn’t worry that the most powerful Saintly Immortal Lord would dare to easily attack Wyatt Barnes.

After all, Wyatt Barnes is still a top-grade alchemist.

Once a top-grade immortal flame is unleashed, even within a hundred meters, a Saintly Immortal Lord would almost certainly die!

Unless the grade of the top-grade immortal flame is quite low, and the Saintly Immortal Lord is already on the verge of becoming an ’Immortal King’, then perhaps they could survive, but they would surely be gravely injured.

Immortal Lord, even if it’s a One-Origin Immortal Lord, can, with divine sense, perceive the opponent’s aura the moment a Ten-Direction Immortal Lord strikes.

"It seems... that’s indeed the case."

Upon hearing the Sect Leader’s words, Wyatt Barnes gave an awkward smile.

He only thought that the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Profound Sect would come to trouble him, but he hadn’t considered that the opponent could send someone else to harass him, even unexpectedly ambush him...

If the opponent sent the ’Three Yellow Dragons’ beside him, he could still guard against it.

But should the opponent send an Immortal Lord expert he hadn’t seen before, he’d be completely unprepared.

Moreover, Wyatt was well aware:

The so-called ’Top-grade Immortal Fire’ within his body wasn’t truly a Top-grade Immortal Fire, but that mysterious ’Chaotic Divine Fire’...

The Top-grade Immortal Fire can be detonated, this he knew.

But the Chaotic Divine Fire, even if he wished to detonate it, depends on whether the Chaotic Divine Fire itself wished to self-destruct...

His talk of detonating the Top-grade Immortal Fire was merely to scare people; if he truly wanted to detonate it, he couldn’t.

Bringing along the Sect Leader, Wyatt and Leilany spent two full days wandering around Pill Tao City, surprisingly encountering no danger, everything peaceful.

The Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Profound Sect, ’Preston Buckingham,’ seemed to have completely disappeared.

After two days, Wyatt and Leilany had almost toured half of Pill Tao City.

Now, Pill Tao City is even more bustling compared to when they first arrived.

In the bustling district of Pill Tao City, shops from the major sects of the Southeastern Six Domains have also begun opening.

Compared to other sects, though the shop of the Taiyi Immortal Sect had opened, it was still in the preparation stage, not yet officially welcoming customers.

The whole of Pill Tao City, in every street and alley, stalls neatly arranged, in such large numbers like fish swimming across a river, leaving one dazzled.

"Brother Leandro, you should go help Alchemist Swayer and the others."

Having wandered for two days, Leilany’s initial excitement for the Desolate Domain’s Pill Tao City had faded, and upon passing by again at the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop still in preparation, Leilany spoke to Wyatt while pulling him inside the shop.

"Alchemist Barnes."

"Miss Leilany."

"Elder Ancestor."

Wyatt, Leilany, and the Sect Leader entered the shop in succession, and the busy Hunter Swayer and the others stopped their activities, coming forward to greet them.

"The three alchemists, it seems you have arranged almost everything... Tomorrow, should be able to officially open, yes?"

The Sect Leader glanced at the shop’s situation, smiled slightly, and asked.

"Pretty much."

Hunter Swayer nodded, then looked at Wyatt, smiling, "Alchemist Barnes, tomorrow when we officially open, you’ll need to personally oversee... After all, this time we are selling the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’ that you crafted."

"And in our Taiyi Immortal Sect, as well as the whole Desolate Territory, it’s well known that in the past, not a single Top-grade alchemist could craft the Rowan Heaven Pill."

"In Pill Tao City, the major top sects have agreed... each shop can only sell the pill medicines crafted by the alchemists within their sect, to prevent any sect from maliciously stealing business."

Hunter Swayer explained.

"There is such a rule? Each sect’s shop can only sell the pill medicines crafted by their own alchemists?"

Upon hearing Hunter Swayer’s words, Wyatt was stunned, not expecting such a rule within Pill Tao City.

However, upon further thought, he was relieved.

After all, the existence of Pill Tao City is for the ’Pill Tao Conference.’

And the Pill Tao Conference is the stage for the alchemists of the Southeastern Six Domains to communicate and compete, so this rule in Pill Tao City for the shops of the major top sects is not unusual.

"Indeed."

Russel Yorke also nodded, "Tomorrow, when we start selling the Rowan Heaven Pill, surely there will be people from other sects coming out... At that time, it’ll be necessary for Alchemist Barnes to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill before their eyes, making them shut up!"

Just as Hunter Swayer and Russel Yorke had said.

The next day, shortly after the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop began selling the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, two groups arrived in force.

And they came with aggression, clearly indicating they came with ill intent.

"Hmph! Your Taiyi Immortal Sect dares to violate the rule jointly established by the major sects of the Southeastern Six Domains, blatantly selling the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill,’ which your alchemists cannot possibly craft... do you take us for blind?"

Among the groups, one was led by a middle-aged man in a green robe, face covered in pockmarks.

The middle-aged man, upon arriving at the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop front, ordered those behind him to clear the area, refusing entry to the guests wanting to enter the shop.
