Chapter 2740: Chapter 2740: Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact
Upon hearing the white-robed young man’s words, Wyatt Barnes fell silent.
Because he knew that the white-robed young man’s words were not without reason, and that the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory would undoubtedly do such a thing...
Everything stems from human ’greed.’
"Do you know why those from the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory are aware that only those under a century old can enter that small world without dying? It’s because they’ve conducted numerous tests to confirm that only those under a century old can enter safely, while those over a century will turn to ash in an instant if they attempt to force their way in!"
The white-robed young man explained.
Wyatt Barnes’ pupils contracted, and he could imagine that many had died for the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory to know this.
The sole purpose of their deaths was to let the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory know:
Only those under a century old can enter that small world...
"So, don’t even think about persuading the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory, because not only will they ignore you, but they might also suspect you of intentionally spreading false information to prevent them from touching that small world."
The white-robed young man continued, "In their eyes, it is a small world left behind by a power above the ’Immortal King’, and it contains many treasures they covet intensely..."
Wyatt Barnes sighed.
Greed, indeed, is the original sin.
"As for the thing I am looking for..."
The white-robed young man said, raising his hand, and a round ring appeared in it.
This ring was different from ordinary rings, with nine angular corners, each differing in shape, looking very peculiar.
The ring was entirely fiery red, but this was not a color applied to it, rather the color of the material from which the ring was forged.
"This is my personal Immortal Artifact, called the ’Xuan Yang Nine-cornered Ring’... There is another paired Immortal Artifact, called the ’Xuan Yin Nine-cornered Ring’, which is inside that small world. The thing I’m looking for is the Xuan Yin Nine-cornered Ring."
The white-robed young man said as he handed the ring to Wyatt Barnes, "Take this Xuan Yang Nine-cornered Ring with you; as soon as you get close to the Xuan Yin Nine-cornered Ring, it will naturally react and guide you to it."
Hearing this, Wyatt Barnes reached out and took the ring, simultaneously extending his Divine Sense to envelop the ring.
Instantly, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils shrank abruptly.
Simply because he discovered that the Immortal Artifact the white-robed young man handed him was of the same level as the ’Splendid Fairy Sword,’ ’Heaven and Earth Ruler,’ and the ’Fearsome Spear’ he had encountered before, a familiar feeling he would never forget.
"This Immortal Artifact... even compared to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s sect-guarding Immortal Artifact ’Pure World Dust-cleanser’ retrieved by Milana Harrington, is of a higher level."
Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.
"Brother Patel... may I ask, what grade is this Immortal Artifact?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the white-robed young man and asked.
"Emperor Grade."
The white-robed young man replied.
"Emperor Grade?"
Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "As far as I know, aren’t Immortal Artifacts divided into Lower-grade, Middle-grade, Top-grade, and Pinnacle Immortal Artifacts?"
"There is such a saying."
The white-robed young man nodded, then continued, "But, do you know... even Pinnacle Immortal Artifacts are graded!"
"Pinnacle Immortal Artifacts are graded too?"
Wyatt Barnes’ heart trembled, and he looked seriously at the white-robed young man, "I would like to know more."
"Pinnacle Immortal Artifacts are divided into Monarch Grade, King Grade, Emperor Grade, and Sovereign Grade... And my ’Xuan Yang Nine-cornered Ring’ is an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact. Its paired ’Xuan Yin Nine-cornered Ring’ is also an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact."
As the white-robed young man spoke slowly, his words opened a ’new world’ for Wyatt Barnes.
Only now did Wyatt Barnes realize that even Pinnacle Immortal Artifacts are further divided into different grades.
"This Xuan Yang Nine-cornered Ring is on par with the Splendid Fairy Sword, Heaven and Earth Ruler, and Fearsome Spear I’ve encountered before... and it is an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact. This means the Splendid Fairy Sword, Heaven and Earth Ruler, and Fearsome Spear are also Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts."
"The Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s sect-guarding Immortal Artifact ’Pure World Dust-cleanser’ should be a King Grade Immortal Artifact."
Wyatt Barnes speculated to himself.
While speculating, Wyatt looked at the white-robed young man and asked, "Brother Patel, have you heard of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s sect-guarding Immortal Artifact ’Pure World Dust-cleanser’?"
"Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect? I have heard of that sect... but I don’t know the name of its sect-guarding Immortal Artifact. I only heard that the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect seems to have three sect-guarding Immortal Artifacts, all of which are King Grade Immortal Artifacts."
The white-robed young man said.
"Just as I thought."
The young man in the white robe’s words were tantamount to confirming Wyatt Barnes’s suspicion that the artifact Murong Bing retrieved from the small world was indeed the Cult Guardian Immortal Artifact of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, the Purifying Dust, a King Grade Immortal Artifact just a notch below Splendid Fairy Sword and other Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts.
"I once heard Elder Fire say that the Jewel Tower was a higher grade than the Immortal Artifacts stored within it, such as the Splendid Fairy Sword, Heaven and Earth Ruler, and Awe-inspiring Halberd... I had no concept of what that meant before. Now it seems the Jewel Tower should be an ’Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact’!"
Thinking about the Jewel Tower, Wyatt couldn’t help but recall the Tower Spirit, Elder Fire, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"If Elder Fire were still here, I wouldn’t be like a headless fly in this myriad-planes, unable to find my way..."
Wyatt sighed inwardly.
"Brother Patel."
A moment later, Wyatt came back to his senses, looked at the young man in the white robe, and said, "Brother Patel, I agree to your terms... I will enter the small world left by the Immortal King to help you find the other matching Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact with your Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, the ’Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring’."
After speaking, Wyatt added, "Of course, the premise is that... the Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring is indeed inside that small world."
"This I can assure you."
The young man in the white robe said with absolute certainty.
At the same time, he was a bit surprised in his heart, amazed that Wyatt remained so calm when he learned he was entrusted with an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact and was asked to find another Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact.
"This young fellow... what on earth is his background?"
For the first time, the young man in the white robe became interested in Wyatt’s origin.
"The girl beside him has the aura of the Mystical Fox clan... but it isn’t pure. However, under a hundred years old, her strength is already comparable to a ’Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal’, a talent that would be considered top-notch even within the Mystical Fox clan itself."
The young man in the white robe thought to himself.
If Wyatt knew the young man in the white robe’s thoughts, he would have surely chuckled inwardly.
What a joke!
Back in the mundane realm, he had owned Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts and multiple Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts before...
Mere one or two Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts were not enough to move him!
Most importantly, he now holds an artifact of a grade higher than an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact in his hands, a ’Heavenly Artifact’, although it has lost its spirit and thus no longer has its former glory; its current power is only equivalent to a top-grade Immortal Artifact.
"Since you’ve agreed to the terms, here’s the ’Concealment Pendant’ for you first."
The young man in the white robe raised his hand, and a jade pendant entwined with green light appeared in his hand.
Among the green light winding around the jade pendant, one could clearly see a black silk thread darting about, like a lively snake, constantly circling the jade pendant.
Wyatt casually accepted the Concealment Pendant, placing it along with the Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring.
"I don’t know... the power that the ’Seven Apertures Jewel Sword’, the Heavenly Artifact in my body, can currently exhibit is equivalent to which grade of Immortal Artifact."
While putting away the Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring, Wyatt recalled the Heavenly Artifact without a spirit that Ernest Summer, Keer’s third uncle from a previous life, had given him, which was only equivalent to a top-grade Immortal Artifact.
He only knew that the power of that Heavenly Artifact now was equivalent to a top-grade Immortal Artifact.
And now, upon learning that top-grade Immortal Artifacts also have distinctions, Wyatt couldn’t help but wonder about the level of power the Seven Apertures Jewel Sword could currently display, and which grade of top-grade Immortal Artifact it could rival...
"However... it feels like it can at most rival a ’Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact’."
Recalling the enhancement he received when using the Seven Apertures Jewel Sword, Wyatt couldn’t help but speculate.
Because the enhancement brought to him by the Seven Apertures Jewel Sword, although stronger than a top-grade Immortal Artifact, wasn’t much stronger.
"As a Heavenly Artifact, even after losing its spirit, the Seven Apertures Jewel Sword shouldn’t only be equivalent to a ’Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact’... When I have time, I must thoroughly study it, see if I can unearth more hidden power within it."
"After all... it’s a Heavenly Artifact, a being that surpasses Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts among top-grade Immortal Artifacts!"
Thinking of this, Wyatt’s heart couldn’t help but race with excitement.
"Brother Patel."
After putting away the Concealment Pendant and Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring, Wyatt remembered something and immediately looked at the young man in the white robe, "Brother Patel, if I obtain the Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring, you must come and collect it immediately... Otherwise, I’m afraid the people of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect will check the Storage Ring in my hand, after all, they also desire the various treasures I might obtain in that small world."
"I understand."
The young man in the white robe nodded, "You needn’t worry about that... What you need to do is to enter that small world with that girl and find the ’Dark Yin Nine Petal Ring’ for me, and bring it out. I will take care of the rest."
After the young man in the white robe finished speaking, he gave a sudden wave of his hand, dispelling the formation he had set up by himself.
Wyatt found himself leaving a completely silent space, once again appearing in a courtyard where he could hear the sound of the wind rustling and smell the fragrance of flowers and grass.
"I’ll be waiting for your good news."
In the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince ’Crue Dragonsmith’ and the Francis Bushell behind him, Wyatt and the young man in the white robe, who had been standing still, suddenly started moving, and they heard the young man in the white robe’s voice.
"They came out?"
At once, they realized the two had emerged from the formation.
