Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1466: Earthly Paradise

After confirming that the Outer Sect disciple just now was Wyatt Barnes, the expressions of shock on the faces of the Inner Sect disciples grew even deeper.

"I’ve only heard about how powerful Wyatt Barnes is, but I didn’t expect him to be this overwhelming... Though he relied on the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword to defeat Nanny Wood, it does nothing to overshadow his own strength."

Several Inner Sect disciples sighed in amazement.

"There are no false reputations under great names... Wyatt Barnes is even more monstrous than the rumors say."

Another Inner Sect disciple remarked.

"I’ve heard that Wyatt Barnes is currently only a Martial Artist at the Small Perfection stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm... If he’s already so monstrous at Small Perfection, how terrifying will he be after breaking through to the Great Perfection stage, or even Entering the Saint Realm?"

Someone recalled Wyatt Barnes’s current cultivation level and couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

Instantly, the atmosphere became dead silent.

Only now did it dawn on them—they had all overlooked one critical point.

At this very moment, Wyatt Barnes was still just a Martial Artist at the Small Perfection stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

"To be at the Small Perfection stage and kill Sail Fenning, ranked ninety-ninth on the Earth List, thereby taking his spot... Entering the Earth List with such a cultivation level! In the history of the Nine Sect Alliance, has there ever been such a monstrous talent?"

An Inner Sect disciple asked.

"Wyatt Barnes is destined to rewrite the history of the Nine Sect Alliance’s Earth List."

The Inner Sect disciples lit up with excitement. "Wyatt Barnes is one of Moon Radiance Sect’s disciples, which is a tremendous honor for our entire sect!"

"I’ve heard that in yesterday’s battle against Sail Fenning, Wyatt Barnes earned a whopping three million merit points."

"I’ve heard that too. However, it seems he returned half of it to most people today... Even so, he still has over 1.5 million merit points in his hands."

"One and a half million merit points... That wealth rivals even our Inner Sect Elders, doesn’t it?"

...

The mention of Wyatt Barnes’s wealth drew envy from many Inner Sect disciples.

"He’s Wyatt Barnes? The ’wealthy tycoon’ with over 1.5 million merit points?"

The Inner Sect disciples who had previously dealt with Wyatt Barnes started recalling the scene where he endlessly haggled with them, leaving them furious and speechless.

At the same time, their gazes showed traces of grievance.

How could a ’tycoon’ with over a million merit points haggle so fiercely over items worth a few thousand merit points?

He had even bargained the originally priced items of several thousand merit points down to mere hundreds!

These Inner Sect disciples, feeling aggrieved, were completely unaware of Wyatt Barnes’s thoughts.

After infuriating Nanny Wood until she fainted, Wyatt Barnes had returned to the Outer Sect area and retired to his independent courtyard.

Upon entering his room, the first thing Wyatt did was enter the Jewel Tower, handing over a pile of materials to Elder Fire, then heading to the second floor of the Jewel Tower to review the Jade Slips he had purchased from the fourth floor of the Hall of Merit.

Those Jade Slips contained a wealth of information that piqued his interest.

As Elder Fire busied himself repairing the third floor of the Jewel Tower, Wyatt Barnes immersed himself completely in the vast knowledge contained within the handful of Jade Slips.

To be precise, he was completely absorbed in the information recorded within those Jade Slips.

The Jade Slips covered various topics.

They detailed aspects of Saint Refiners’ Artifact Refinement and Alchemy, Taoist Talisman Inscription Drawing, Saint Markings Inscription... and countless other subjects that dazzled and overwhelmed the mind.

At first, Wyatt focused primarily on content related to Saint Markings.

Although he held a heavy sword inscribed with the two-star Saint Marking ’Thousand Weight Saint Marking,’ and could see its design, he could only conclude that the Saint markings of the Martial Dao Sacred Land were akin to the Inscription markings of the Cloud Skies Continent.

Beyond that connection, he knew virtually nothing else.

However, through the information recorded in the Jade Slips in his possession, Wyatt Barnes began to gain a deeper understanding of Saint Markings.

"So there are so many similarities between Saint Markings and Inscription markings!"

"If a suitable point of convergence is found, the two are hardly different at all... It’s even possible to upgrade Inscription markings to Saint Markings."

"Perhaps, even if the other memories of the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation hold little meaning for me right now, the memory related to Inscription markings could serve as a tremendous resource for me in the Martial Dao Sacred Land! Saint Refiner masters are synonymous with immense wealth."

After delving deeper into Saint Markings, Wyatt Barnes realized that as long as he committed himself to researching them, he stood a chance at identifying their connection points with Inscription markings.

Once he achieved that, the Inscription-related memories of the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation could come into play.

Wyatt Barnes could very well become a Saint Markings master in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Saint Markings were exceptionally valuable in the Martial Dao Sacred Land because of their durability.

Unlike Taoist Talismans, which were generally single-use, Saint Markings were inscribed on sacred artifacts, remaining effective as long as the artifact itself remained intact.

This permanence made Saint Markings particularly precious.

Take for example the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword he possessed—it was inscribed with a two-star Saint Marking and had a market value of over two hundred thousand merit points... On the other hand, a two-star Taoist Talisman typically sold for only a few thousand merit points.

The exception was two-star attack Taoist Talismans.

Once activated, a two-star attack Talisman could unleash a late-stage Entering the Saint Realm attack, with astonishing destructive power.

After further familiarizing himself with Saint Markings, Wyatt Barnes turned to learn about Saint Refiners’ Artifact and Alchemical Refinement... but he quickly realized these pursuits would likely be impossible for him.

The reason behind this was that Saint Refiners in the Martial Dao Sacred Land required a body entirely attuned to fire attributes.

Only this way could they manipulate the flames essential for Artifact Refinement and Alchemy.

This was a stark contrast to the Cloud Skies Continent.

In the Cloud Skies Continent, anyone with sufficient cultivation and talent as an alchemist or Artifact Refiner could use Origin Force to produce flame required for these processes.

"Truly, different temples chant different scriptures..."

Wyatt murmured to himself.

Even so, this revelation didn’t dishearten him.

Because in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Saint Refiners—whether alchemists or Artifact Refiners—were far from scarce.

What was scarce were Saint Markings masters and Taoist Talisman masters.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, aside from Martial Dao dominance, importance was placed on Saint Markings mastery and Taoist Talisman mastery.

"I’ll have to ask Elder Jerry Garcia later where I can learn about Saint Markings... Once I grasp the essence of Saint Markings, connecting them to Inscription markings will only be a matter of time."

Captivated by this thought, Wyatt Barnes felt incredibly exhilarated.

A Saint Markings master!

Wyatt Barnes possessed both the potential and talent to become such a master.

Moreover, he could become far more than just an ordinary Saint Markings master.

With the help of the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation’s memories, once Saint Markings and Inscription markings converged, he could even aim for the title of ’Saint Markings Grandmaster.’

Though there is only a one-word difference between ’Saint Markings master’ and ’Saint Markings Grandmaster,’ the disparity between the two would be like heaven and earth!

Among a thousand Saint Markings masters, not even one might eventually reach the rank of Saint Markings Grandmaster.

After browsing and gathering a general understanding of the remaining information contained in the Jade Slips, Wyatt Barnes focused back on cultivation and started by upgrading the defensive technique ’Silver Cloth Shirt’ into ’Golden Cloth Shirt.’

As an advanced version of Silver Cloth Shirt, Golden Cloth Shirt shared similarities in its cultivation approach.

Thus, it didn’t take long for Wyatt Barnes to master Golden Cloth Shirt, reaching its third stage, ’Distinguished Proficiency.’

When executing Golden Cloth Shirt now, Wyatt Barnes’s body shimmered with golden light as though clad in a layer of golden armor.

After mastering Golden Cloth Shirt, Wyatt Barnes devoted his attention fully to the Saint-grade martial art ’Golden Peng’s Profound Secrets,’ focusing on its attack technique ’Mountain-like Heaviness.’

It was a powerful technique designed to pair with his Thousand Weight Heavy Sword.

Today, despite not having fully reached the first stage of Mountain-like Heaviness, Wyatt Barnes used it alongside the Thousand Weight Heavy Sword and managed to blast away the Inner Sect disciple, Nanny Wood.

Strength met strength; force countered force!

The thrilling, blood-pumping sensation left Wyatt Barnes filled with exhilaration!

Of course, while pursuing mastery of Saint-grade martial techniques, Wyatt Barnes also pushed forward the cultivation of his martial arts foundation. novelbuddy.cσ๓

His immediate goal was to advance his cultivation to the Great Perfection stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm as soon as possible.

At that point, his strength would take a meteoric leap forward!

His Saint Veins would also reach their full potential!

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Mansion of Azure Clouds.

A massive floating island suspended in midair had no visible supports. Shrouded in mist, it resembled a paradise on earth.

Atop this floating island stood an extraordinarily grand palace.

The palace was vast, occupying an area far larger than the capital city of any mortal kingdom.

Behind the palace lay a sprawling ’back garden’ akin to a prairie, populated by gentle exotic beasts roaming freely, giving the garden an animated, lively atmosphere.

Within one corner of the back garden stood a spacious pavilion.

The pavilion also floated, suspended above a large lake teeming with fish.

At the pavilion, a pair of young lovers—youthful and radiant like celestial beings—sat facing each other at a stone table.

The table was adorned with an array of delicious dishes that would stir anyone’s appetite at a mere glance.

But at this moment, the young man and woman appeared distracted.

To be more precise, the young woman seemed lost in thought.

"Natalie, you’re thinking about Wyatt again, aren’t you?"

A handsome, refined young man—bearing an uncanny resemblance to Wyatt Barnes—gazed at her tenderly and asked in a soft voice.

"Brother Lanni, after all these years, why hasn’t Wyatt returned? Could something have happened to him?"

The young woman—Christina Lee, Wyatt Barnes’s mother—voiced her fears with worry in her tone.
