Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2748: Chapter 2748: The ’Middle-Grade Immortal Fire’ Spoke?

The two people emerging from the room were ’Wyatt Barnes’ and ’Leilany.’

"In ten days, it will be the day for the Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation to select young powerhouses to participate in the ’Desolate Territory Grand Competition’... Breaking through to ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ at this time won’t affect the outcome, but overall, it’s a good thing."

Wyatt wore a bright smile on his face.

With his strength, even without achieving the breakthrough to ’Daai Law Golden Immortal,’ participating in this Imperial Family selection of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, no one would be his match.

Even the less than a hundred-year-old Purple Sun Golden Immortal from Kingston Majestic Royal Palace would not be able to stand against him in a single round before his breakthrough if he wished!

"The reason I could completely break through so quickly is mainly due to the ’Daai Law Pill,’ but also thanks to Leilany’s Divine Crystal, and... the Earth Grade technique ’Heavenly Wilderness Scripture’ that the Third Prince gave me earlier!"

Ever since mastering the Earth Grade technique ’Heavenly Wilderness Scripture,’ Wyatt could distinctly feel the gap between Earth Grade techniques and the previous Earth Rank technique he cultivated.

It is like a chasm, an insurmountable gap!

As different as day and night.

A world of difference.

"Leilany, with your talent, coupled with the help of the Divine Crystal, and the medicinal power of the Pill Medicine your mother left you... hasn’t your cultivation reached the next level yet?"

Wyatt looked at Leilany and asked.

Leilany’s talent was in no way inferior to his; plus, given the Divine Crystal’s assistance and the medicinal power of the Pill Medicine her mother left her, her cultivation speed should not be slow.

However, since Leilany is a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal,’ unlike Daai Law Golden Immortal, having slower progress in cultivation compared to him is quite normal.

"Brother Wyatt, Leilany broke through earlier than you... Three months ago, Leilany already broke through."

Leilany said with a smile.

With her smile, her perfect, world-class beauty instantly blossomed like hundreds of flowers, causing Wyatt to be transfixed.

"You broke through three months ago? Does that mean... you are now a ’Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal’?"

Regaining himself after some effort, Wyatt’s eyes brightened.

"Yes."

Leilany nodded.

"Indeed... Previously, you hadn’t cultivated for many years and were already a ’Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal,’ and now another year has passed, your cultivation has further broken through; it’s not exaggerated."

Thinking of Leilany’s ’age,’ Wyatt’s mood calmed down again, feeling that all of this was rightfully so.

"Brother Wyatt... there are ten days remaining until the Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation holds its selection. In these ten days, do you plan to continue cultivating?"

Leilany blinked her beautiful eyes, cautiously asking Wyatt.

"Why? Is Leilany feeling stifled? Want to go out for a walk?"

Wyatt asked with a smile.

Seeing Leilany still seemed a bit embarrassed, Wyatt promptly said, "Leilany, accompany Brother Wyatt for a walk outside... Cultivating won’t suffer for the lack of ten days."

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Leilany’s eyes instantly brightened.

This time, when leaving, Wyatt did not inform the Third Prince ’Crue Dragonsmith’ because he knew that once he did, Crue Dragonsmith would definitely accompany him and Leilany outside.

However, even if Wyatt didn’t inform Crue Dragonsmith, during his and Leilany’s departure, they were still discovered by Francis Bushell, a Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal by Crue Dragonsmith’s side, who promptly informed Crue Dragonsmith of this.

"Since Brother Barnes didn’t come to find me, it means he doesn’t want me to accompany him... Francis, follow and protect both of them secretly. Do not let any harm befall them!"

Crue Dragonsmith looked at Francis with a very serious expression.

Whether for achieving ’First Prince’ in this Imperial Family selection or for the future influence of Wyatt after entering the Dragon Warrior Celestial Sect, he certainly would not let anything happen to Wyatt.

He was determined to make sure Wyatt safely passed the selection, participated in the Desolate Territory Grand Competition, and successfully joined the Dragon Warrior Celestial Sect.

"Yes."

Francis responded and left, following Wyatt and Leilany.

"Brother Wyatt... that Francis has followed us."

While Francis had just followed, Leilany discovered it and immediately told Wyatt.

"Leilany, it seems your sensing ability has improved significantly after breaking through to ’Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal’... you noticed Francis’ stalking so quickly."

Wyatt said with a laugh.

Even though Wyatt couldn’t detect Francis, he could guess without a doubt:

Once he and Leilany left, Francis would definitely discover it, considering he is a genuine ’Heavenly Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal!’

And once Francis knew of their departure, he would certainly inform the Third Prince, who would then surely send Francis to guard them secretly.

He had guessed this long ago.

Thus, when Leilany mentioned that Francis was following them, he wasn’t the least bit surprised.

"Brother Wyatt, should we ask him to return?"

Leilany asked.

Although Leilany was still somewhat naive regarding romantic feelings, her subconscious still hoped to be alone with Wyatt Barnes, not wanting a third person to ruin her chance to be alone with him.

"No need."

Wyatt Barnes didn’t know what was on Leilany’s mind, shook his head, and said, "If he wants to follow, let him... We will just pretend we haven’t noticed him."

"Okay."

Leilany nodded obediently.

Walking along the streets of the Capital City of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, Wyatt Barnes overheard several rumors among the passersby.

Among them was the incident where the Seventh Prince from the Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation poached the talented ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ under a hundred years old from Kingston Majestic Royal Palace.

"Isn’t that Purple Sun Golden Immortal under a hundred years old a close relative of the ’Kingston Majestic Royal’ family? And they were nurtured by the Kingston Majestic Royal Palace, having deep affections for it and known to be someone who repays kindness... How could he betray the Kingston Majestic Royal Palace?"

Since Wyatt Barnes had heard about this previously, he was full of surprise and confusion when he heard similar rumors now.

However, as the gossip continued to spread, he eventually understood the ’truth’ of the matter.

"Apparently, Kingston Majestic Royal Palace intentionally gave the person to the Seventh Prince... As long as he represents the Seventh Prince in the selection ten days later and wins the ’Imperial First,’ he can secure a Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact for the prince, which will be significantly beneficial to the prince’s succession journey."

Upon learning this, Wyatt Barnes’s doubts dissipated.

If that’s the case, everything is easily explained.

"By the way... Now that my entire cultivation has broken through to the ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level, the remaining Immortal Fire hidden in the broken iron piece should be leaving it, right?"

While accompanying Leilany during their shopping and leisure, Wyatt Barnes had a sudden realization about the Immortal Fire within him.

Of course, it was actually the gray flame in his body, mistakenly believed by him to be an Immortal Fire known as the ’Chaos Divine Fire.’

"Indeed, they’ve all left the broken iron piece."

Upon internal inspection, Wyatt Barnes discovered:

The gray flames had indeed completely left the broken iron piece.

Just as he had previously guessed, once he successfully broke through to the ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level, the gray flames would leave the broken iron piece, ready for him to use.

"Now... I can control all the Immortal Fire within me. This Immortal Fire should now be ’Mid-Grade Immortal Fire,’ right?"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, and a wisp of gray flame flickered from his fingertip. Although it was only a flash, Wyatt Barnes could affirm:

His Immortal Fire was now very likely a ’Mid-Grade Immortal Fire.’

To be absolutely sure it was a Mid-Grade Immortal Fire, he needed to test it by refining Mid-Grade Immortal Pills; only Immortal Fires capable of refining such pills could be considered truly Mid-Grade.

However, now was clearly not a good time for alchemy.

Therefore, Wyatt Barnes quickly refocused his attention on continuing to accompany Leilany in shopping and enjoying leisure, even though he was eager to start alchemy, he set aside his urge for the moment.

After all, there’s no rush at this moment.

Furthermore, since Leilany was in high spirits, he didn’t want to suddenly interrupt her enjoyment.

As time went by, Wyatt Barnes managed to spend the entire day with Leilany.

Just as they finished dinner at a tavern, left it, and prepared to return to the palace, to the residence of the Thirteenth Prince.

"Hmm?"

When they stepped just outside the tavern’s entrance, without any warning, Wyatt Barnes suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

The next moment, he sensed the gray flame within him suddenly agitated without his control, as if it had detected something...

When Wyatt Barnes instinctively tried to control the gray flame within him—what he believed to be ’Mid-Grade Immortal Fire,’ the ’Chaos Divine Fire.’

The Chaos Divine Fire bizarrely roared and surged towards a direction, prompting him to look towards that direction along the street outside the tavern entrance.

There stood an elderly man clad in a black robe.

The old man was thin and his face gaunt, but his eyes were bright and spirited, and the black robe he wore was no ordinary garb. The robe was embroidered with clusters of flames which formed the character ’Qian.’

It was clearly the ’Qian Grade Master Robe’ issued by the Celestial Master Alliance of the major celestial realms to Mid-Grade Alchemy or Refining Masters!

This was enough to indicate:

The elderly man was either a Mid-Grade Alchemy Master or a Mid-Grade Refining Master.

"Taixuan Divine Metal... The opponent also possesses the second form of Chaos Divine Fire. You assist me in Swallowing it. Then, I shall enter the third form, and if you ever encounter the second form of Taixuan Divine Metal, I’ll help you consume it."

Suddenly, a voice emerged from Wyatt Barnes’s body, nearly scaring him out of his wits!

He could barely discern the source of the voice:

It was coming from the wisp of gray flame within him, which he had regarded as ’Mid-Grade Immortal Fire’...
