Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1478: The Inheritance of the ’Mysterious Pattern Technique

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: The Inheritance of the ’Mysterious Pattern Technique

"It’s a pity that my talent is limited and I ultimately couldn’t master the ’Art of Ghost Marks’ from the inheritance left behind by my teacher... If not for the orthodox Saint Marking cultivation method included in the inheritance, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today."

Speaking to this point, Trevor Baillie sighed regretfully, his face dimming.

Not being able to master the ’Art of Ghost Marks’ from the inheritance left behind by the teacher he never met had always been a sore spot in his heart.

Over the years, he had met some Saint Marking artisans with good talent in Saint Markings.

However, none of them could learn the Art of Ghost Marks.

The Art of Ghost Marks revolves around the word ’ghost.’

For Saint Markings with the same effect, the materials required by the Art of Ghost Marks are often less than half of those needed by orthodox Saint Marking techniques.

Its miraculous nature lies in its demanding requirements for mental power.

Of course, the high requirement for mental power here does not refer to its level, but to its application... Only those who can wield mental power at an extraordinary level can master the Art of Ghost Marks.

Some people are born with strong mental power, allowing their spiritual energy to follow their thoughts effortlessly.

This phenomenon is referred to as ’Soul Moves at Will.’

Unfortunately, Trevor Baillie does not belong to this category, and he is destined to have no connection with the Art of Ghost Marks in his lifetime.

And this had always been a knot in Trevor Baillie’s heart.

When he received the inheritance of that Seven-Star Saint Mark artisan, he understood how much the artisan yearned to find a successor for the Art of Ghost Marks. Hence, he had always hoped to help find a qualified inheritor.

Although he had never seen that Seven-Star Saint Mark artisan, he regarded the artisan as his ’teacher.’

After all, if it weren’t for the artisan, he wouldn’t be where he is today.

Over the years, Trevor Baillie had relied on Saint Marking techniques to amass a significant amount of cultivation resources, enabling his current achievements.

Otherwise, with his talent alone, he would never have come this far.

Trevor Baillie is someone who values loyalty and gratitude, someone who always seeks opportunities to repay favors.

And now, he realizes that his chance to repay kindness has arrived.

Wyatt Barnes is precisely the person he had been searching for—the one who could inherit his teacher’s Art of Ghost Marks.

Over the recent period, as Wyatt Barnes inscribed Saint Markings, Trevor Baillie could clearly sense Wyatt’s extraordinary application of mental power, which far exceeded his own skills.

Typically, a Saint Marking artisan requires a minimum cultivation of Entering the Saint Realm.

Yet Wyatt Barnes could inscribe Saint Markings while still in the Transcending Mortal Realm.

"The Art of Ghost Marks..."

Hearing Trevor Baillie describe the Art of Ghost Marks, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel intrigued.

The orthodox Saint Marking techniques of the Martial Dao Sacred Land were indeed similar to the Inscription Techniques of the Cloud Skies Continent, but the Art of Ghost Marks was distinct from the latter, piquing his curiosity.

"This Jade Slip contains the recorded techniques of the Art of Ghost Marks... I believe you are the most suitable person for this."

Trevor Baillie raised his hand and produced a Jade Slip, solemnly handing it to Wyatt Barnes.

At the same time, he spoke seriously, "Wyatt Barnes, I know you already have a mentor... However, if you truly inherit the Art of Ghost Marks, I hope you can recognize my teacher as your teacher as well."

"It’s only proper."

Wyatt Barnes didn’t refuse Trevor Baillie’s offer of the Jade Slip. He was eager to learn about the Art of Ghost Marks and wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Receiving the inheritance of that Seven-Star Saint Mark artisan and recognizing the artisan as ’teacher’ seemed entirely reasonable.

Moreover, the artisan’s era was unknown, and there was no guarantee that the artisan was still alive.

Thus, Wyatt Barnes didn’t need to hesitate.

An opportunity presented on a silver platter—only a fool wouldn’t take it.

"From today onward, you are now my junior brother, Wyatt Barnes."

Trevor Baillie chuckled, "From now on, don’t call me Elder Baillie anymore. Just call me senior brother."

"Senior brother."

Wyatt Barnes, not one to be overly formal, promptly changed his address.

Hearing Wyatt call him senior brother, Trevor Baillie’s face beamed with a brilliant smile, "Even if our teacher is no longer in this world, if he knew I found someone as talented as you to be his pupil, he would surely be overjoyed."

"Senior brother, let’s not celebrate too early. Whether I can master the Art of Ghost Marks is still uncertain."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, smiling.

"With your application of mental power, if even you cannot master the Art of Ghost Marks, then no one under the heavens can."

Trevor Baillie had tremendous confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

Thus, before Wyatt even entered the Moon Radiance Sect’s Inner Sect, he had already gained a senior brother among the Inner Sect elders.

And this Inner Sect elder was no ordinary one.

As a Three-Star Saint Mark artisan, Trevor Baillie’s status in the Moon Radiance Sect surpassed that of several Vice Sect Leaders, even subtly exceeding their authority.

Moreover, even the Sect Leader and other Saint Realm experts treated him with great courtesy when dealing with him.

"Junior brother, I heard you hail from Hill Mountain City?"

Trevor Baillie asked.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, his origins in Hill Mountain City no longer a secret in the Moon Radiance Sect.

"I’ll personally pay Evander Mullins a visit and make him understand that my junior brother Trevor Baillie is not someone he can mess with!"

Trevor Baillie’s eyes flashed sharply, his tone domineering.

Evidently, he was aware of the conflict between Hill Mountain City’s people and Evander Mullins.

Trevor Baillie’s goodwill was something Wyatt Barnes naturally wouldn’t decline.

However, he understood that even if Evander Mullins feared his senior brother, at most, he would restrain himself outwardly... Secretly, Evander Mullins would still view him as a thorn in his side.

Unless he could eliminate Wyatt Barnes, Evander Mullins would not find peace.

"This works out well... at least on the surface, Evander Mullins will hold back, which will be a good thing for Baer Bear and Ralph Cloud."

Wyatt Barnes silently reflected.

"Senior brother, the one-month period is up—I should be returning now."

Wyatt Barnes politely bid farewell to Trevor Baillie.

"Junior brother, leave your bow behind... I’ll inscribe two more Three-Star Saint Markings on it for you. My current limit is to inscribe up to three Three-Star Saint Markings on a piece of sacred equipment; anything beyond that exceeds my capabilities."

Trevor Baillie said to Wyatt Barnes.

Now that Wyatt Barnes was his junior brother, he naturally wanted to help him as much as he could.

If helping Wyatt beforehand had a trace of reluctance, now he was wholeheartedly willing to inscribe more Saint Markings for him.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly expressed his gratitude. If his bow—Sunstrike Bow—could bear three Three-Star Saint Markings, its power would undeniably escalate, proving immensely helpful to him.

Though Wyatt Barnes had already integrated Saint Markings with Inscription Techniques, achieving parity in Saint Marking expertise with Trevor Baillie,

His limited mental power made it possible for him to inscribe only One-Star Saint Markings for now.

Three-Star Saint Markings, according to Trevor Baillie, would require Wyatt to at least reach Entering the Saint Realm’s Small Perfection stage to inscribe them with difficulty.

"Additionally, from now on, you should live in my residence."

Trevor Baillie told Wyatt Barnes, "I’ll arrange a tranquil courtyard for you—it’s sure to be better than your current one in the Outer Sect."

"Senior brother, I appreciate your generosity... but for now, I’d prefer remaining in the Outer Sect. Once I join the Inner Sect, I’ll come to stay in your residence."

Wyatt Barnes smiled as he replied.

"You said it—when you join the Inner Sect, you must move here!"

Trevor Baillie said seriously.

"Absolutely."

Wyatt Barnes promptly nodded in agreement.

Having handed over the Sunstrike Bow to Trevor Baillie, Wyatt Barnes took his leave.

He was eager to dive into studying the Art of Ghost Marks. If he could truly master it, the efficiency of earning Holy Stones in the future would undoubtedly be over twice that of typical Saint Marking artisans!

After all, artisans specializing in the Art of Ghost Marks required less than half the materials compared to orthodox Saint Marking artisans for creating markings of the same quality.

However, Wyatt Barnes vaguely sensed that the true marvel of the Art of Ghost Marks might extend beyond material efficiency.

Since Trevor Baillie hadn’t mastered the Art of Ghost Marks, his understanding revolved solely around the discrepancy in material consumption.

Of course, this was merely Wyatt Barnes’s intuition.

Whether it was true or not still required his own investigation.

Just as Wyatt Barnes left the Inner Sect territory, a piece of news spread like wildfire within those grounds.

The Moon Radiance Sect’s only Three-Star Saint Mark artisan and Inner Sect elder, Trevor Baillie, had publicly declared that starting today, he would accept Outer Sect disciple Wyatt Barnes as his junior brother on behalf of their shared teacher.

From now on, Wyatt Barnes was Trevor Baillie’s junior brother!

This news swept through the Inner Sect territory like a hurricane, shaking it to its core as if a massive earthquake had struck.

"Elder Baillie recognizes an Outer Sect disciple as his junior brother? Is this some kind of joke?"

"Who is this Outer Sect disciple? How extraordinary must they be to have Elder Baillie call them his junior brother?"

...

Many Inner Sect disciples who had not paid much attention to the Outer Sect were shocked and flustered by this news.

"You’re kidding, right? You don’t know who Wyatt Barnes is?"

"Wyatt Barnes has practically become a household name in the sect recently, and you guys are clueless?"

...

Those Inner Sect disciples who were already aware of Wyatt Barnes began recounting his various feats and accomplishments, instantly spreading his name throughout the Inner Sect.

Even these informed disciples were astounded by the news of Wyatt Barnes becoming Elder Baillie’s junior brother.

Some even investigated the truth behind the claim and confirmed it.

Wyatt Barnes had indeed become Elder Baillie’s junior brother!

As this news rocked the entirety of the Inner Sect, Evander Mullins inevitably heard of it as well.

Upon hearing it, Evander Mullins crushed the teacup in his hand into powder, shouting, "That Wyatt Barnes! Who in the world is he? How could he make that old man Trevor Baillie call him ’junior brother’?! Damn it! Damn it!!"

To Evander Mullins, Wyatt Barnes, whom he regarded as a thorn in his side, suddenly had an imposing backer. Learning of this made Evander Mullins feel worse than swallowing a fly.
