Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2649: Wyatt Barnes Leaves Seclusion!

Inside the Hidden Dragon Abyss, there are a total of thirty stone chambers, and the deeper the chamber is located, the better the cultivation environment.

The chamber at the deepest part has a cultivation environment so excellent that it can even rival the cultivation grounds of the Nine Nether County Governor and its top Sacrificial Officer!

Currently, the deepest stone chamber in the Hidden Dragon Abyss is completely filled with restless Immortal Origin Force.

Origin Force, like a wild horse that has broken free, roams around wildly, ravaging the entire stone chamber, slapping against the walls with a dull, thundering sound.

This sound is as deafening as drumbeats!

And the source of this restless Origin Force is impressively the purple-clothed youth sitting on the stone bed inside the chamber.

He is none other than Wyatt Barnes, who has been in seclusion for a whole year and a half!

Since leaving the courtyard of Inner Mansion Elder Christian Clark a year and a half ago and returning to this cultivation stone chamber in the Hidden Dragon Abyss, Wyatt Barnes has not stepped outside, completely immersed in cultivation.

With a desperate determination, he has strived to improve his cultivation level as much as possible!

As the saying goes, "Heaven rewards the faithful."

After a year and a half of relentless effort, Wyatt Barnes finally completed his second breakthrough today, successfully achieving the status of ’Huang Ri Gold Immortal’!

"So, this is the Origin Force of a ’Huang Ri Gold Immortal’?"

The restless Origin Force filling the stone chamber is precisely the force which Wyatt Barnes deliberately controlled and allowed to emerge from his body, slapping against the chamber’s walls.

Of course, this Origin Force is not just the simple Origin Force of a Huang Ri Gold Immortal.

"However... the Origin Force currently emerging from my body is beyond what any ordinary Huang Ri Gold Immortal can compare to. It has been amplified by the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins inside me, additionally elevated by two whole levels, sufficient to rival the Origin Force of a common ’Qing Ri Gold Immortal’!"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

Moments later, a faint breeze arose, as Wyatt Barnes withdrew the outer Origin Force completely.

Once the Origin Force was withdrawn, Wyatt Barnes’s figure gradually appeared.

Wyatt Barnes suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing brilliantly, as if it could illuminate the entire world!

"Luckily, taking advantage of the last bit of the Hidden Pill’s potency, I successfully broke through to become a ’Huang Ri Gold Immortal’... I wonder how long I’ve been secluding myself this time. However, it should be less than two and a half years."

Wyatt Barnes is unsure of how long this seclusion lasted.

But, the one thing he is certain about:

This current seclusion lasted at most a little over two years, but not two and a half.

Since the day he began this seclusion, two and a half years later is the start of the ’Ten Six County Martial Arts Meeting’ held by King Cooper’s mansion. Regardless of others, even the Nine Nether County Governor definitely wouldn’t allow him to cultivate in seclusion for that long.

After all, the Nine Nether County Governor is counting on him to win the mid-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’ for the Nine Nether County.

"Without the Hidden Pill, continuing cultivation won’t be fast... it’s better to obtain more Hidden Pills, or other top-grade Immortal Pills that can co-exist with the Spirit Essence Pill’s potency, and then continue cultivation."

Having experienced the simultaneous consumption of Hidden Pill and Spirit Essence Pill’s potency during cultivation, Wyatt Barnes is temporarily unwilling to exclusively use Spirit Essence Pill for cultivation, as that is slower compared to using both Hidden Pill and Spirit Essence Pill.

Unless there’s truly no other option, Wyatt Barnes prefers not to solely rely on Spirit Essence Pill for cultivation.

"I’ve been in County City for quite some time and haven’t ventured out... This time, upon leaving seclusion, I’ll take a stroll and also relax a bit."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes stepped off the stone bed, leaving the cultivation stone chamber.

"Hmm?"

Upon exiting the cultivation stone chamber, Wyatt Barnes immediately sensed a gaze fall upon him.

"Felix Campbell?"

Upon raising his head to look at the owner of the gaze, Wyatt Barnes discovered the person was none other than the adopted son of Tony Campbell, the top Sacrificial Officer of the County Governor’s Mansion, Felix Campbell, who had been grievously injured with his limbs severed by Wyatt in the past.

He could sense the deep-seated hatred in Felix Campbell’s gaze towards him.

To this, he remains indifferent.

After all, Wyatt Barnes severed Felix Campbell’s limbs long ago, and it’s only natural for Felix Campbell to hate him.

As for why Felix Campbell happened to leave his cultivation stone chamber, Wyatt Barnes found it not difficult to guess:

"Even though the disturbance I caused wasn’t too big... Felix Campbell’s current cultivation stone chamber is right above mine, so he likely still perceived the movement within my stone chamber."

Retracting his gaze from Felix Campbell, Wyatt Barnes ascended into the sky, passing by Felix Campbell without giving him another glance.

"Wyatt! Barnes!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes ignoring him so thoroughly, Felix Campbell became furious, gritting his teeth in anger, although he could only howl inside, "Just keep basking in your glory... I wonder how long you’ll stay this way!"

"It’s Wyatt Barnes!"

"Wyatt Barnes has come out of seclusion?"

"It seems like I haven’t seen him for a long time... it’s been a year and a half, right?"

...

As Wyatt Barnes ascended, heading outside the Hidden Dragon Abyss, others who happened to step out of their cultivation stone chambers or were returning from outside couldn’t resist discussing fervently.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to leave Dragon Spring Abyss, a familiar voice echoed within it again.

"Ares Cooper?"

Wyatt turned back, only to see ’Ares Cooper’, the former Centurion of Black Dragon Army who came with him from Bloodshade City, emerging from the third to last cultivation chamber and ascending through the air, rushing toward him.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Ares was in front of Wyatt.

Now closer, Wyatt could clearly sense the change in Ares’ aura and couldn’t help but be surprised, "Ares, did you... break through?"

"Yes."

Ares nodded with a smile, "If I hadn’t broken through, how could I occupy that cultivation chamber, second only to yours and Felix’s?"

"I was quite surprised seeing you come out of that chamber."

Wyatt sighed.

In the past, although he knew Ares had a good talent and was surprised when Ares secured one of the only two spots from Bloodshade City to the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion, he hadn’t thought Ares’ talent and strength were so extraordinary.

Ares securing the third to last cultivation chamber among the thirty young powerhouses in Dragon Spring Abyss indicated that Ares’ strength ranked just below his and Felix’s among the thirty people.

"There’s nothing surprising about it... Compared to you, I’m far behind."

Ares chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"We, Bloodshade City, sent two people, and among the thirty Golden Immortals under a hundred years at the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion, we rank ’top three’... City Lord Willow would certainly be pleased to know this."

Wyatt changed the subject with a smile.

"Wyatt Barnes becoming the ’number one in Dragon Spring Abyss’ is something the Lord City knows for sure... As for me, it’s only in recent months that I’ve secured that cultivation chamber. To reach the Lord City’s ears, it may take some time."

Ares said.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Suddenly, Ares’ gaze sharpened as he looked at Wyatt and asked, "I feel that your aura has undergone a significant change... You spent a year and a half in closed-door cultivation this time, the harvest must have been substantial?"

"A year and a half? How did you know when I went into closed-door cultivation?"

Wyatt was somewhat surprised.

"I didn’t know when you went into closed-door cultivation... but I’ve heard several people say so."

Ares said.

"A year and a half..."

Hearing Ares’ words, Wyatt confirmed internally, "It seems my cultivation in retreat indeed took a year and a half."

"In a year and a half, from ’Red Sun Golden Immortal’ to ’Yellow Sun Golden Immortal’, directly transcending two cultivation stages... This cultivation speed, within the entire Spiritual Heaven, should be considered barely acceptable, right?"

Wyatt mused.

These were Wyatt’s thoughts, unknown to Ares.

Otherwise, Ares would surely roll his eyes at Wyatt.

Even the most talented ’Red Sun Golden Immortal’ in top-tier Immortal Kingdoms, despite having better cultivation environments, resources, and techniques than Wyatt, takes far longer to break through to ’Yellow Sun Golden Immortal’.

Wyatt’s cultivation time was so short, mainly due to possessing ninety-nine Heavenly Veins!

Of course, if one only possessed ninety-nine Heavenly Veins, the cultivation speed wouldn’t be this fast.

More importantly, after ascending to Spiritual Heaven and achieving ’Heavenly Immortal’, he followed Ernest Summer’s advice to refine the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins through the power within the Ascension Pool, laying an extraordinary foundation.

Thus, just based on the ninety-nine thoroughly refined Heavenly Veins, his cultivation speed had reached a staggering level!

Otherwise, how could a newcomer ascended to Spiritual Heaven as a ’Red Moon Heavenly Immortal’ break through to ’Yellow Sun Golden Immortal’ in just two and a half years?

Two and a half years, from ’Red Moon Heavenly Immortal’ to ’Yellow Sun Golden Immortal’.

Aside from powerful forces at the upper levels of the heavens using ’Top-grade Immortal Pills’ and above to forcibly enhance the juniors’ cultivation, achieving this is impossible...

With normal low-grade Immortal Pill cultivation, no one has ever achieved this within Spiritual Heaven!

Not only Spiritual Heaven.

Even in the history of the eighty-one heavens, achieving this is exceedingly rare!

Of course, Wyatt was unaware of this at the time.

"Wyatt Barnes, where are you planning to go?"

Ares asked.

"I’ve been in the County City for so long and haven’t walked around... after this retreat, I plan to wander around."

Wyatt answered.

"Why don’t I accompany you... I’ve been at the County Governor’s Mansion for two years and am quite familiar with the County City, wherever you want to go, I can guide you."

Ares suggested.
