Chapter 1966: That Aerial Mansion Is Mine!
Chapter 1966: That Aerial Mansion Is Mine!
The sound of people gasping gradually faded away, and the group of disciples from the Four Symbols Altar, including Mitchell Knox, looked at each other, seeing the same answer in each other’s eyes.
"Wyatt Barnes!"
In the next moment, many disciples from the Four Symbols Altar exclaimed softly, their expressions quite colorful.
"How could I forget him... Three months ago, he killed two disciples from the Vermilion Bird Altar, one of whom was reportedly an existence at the ’early Heavenly Saint Realm’!"
"His strength, even if hasn’t reached the ’mid Heavenly Saint Realm,’ must be close to it!"
"There’s talk that his talent only lies in the ’yellow root’... A common disciple with a ’yellow root,’ in theory, might not even break through to the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’! Yet he could kill a Vermilion Bird Altar disciple at the early Heavenly Saint Realm."
"It’s said that his cultivation hasn’t entered the ’Heavenly Saint Realm,’ the strength he displays comes entirely from the three advanced Divine Abilities he has mastered!"
"Not mentioning his innate talent root, just his talent in mastering Divine Abilities... In our Fire Worship Sect, perhaps very few can compare! After all, those are three advanced Divine Abilities... In our Fire Worship Sect, even the Sect Leader is said to have mastered only three advanced Divine Abilities!"
"The most surprising thing is he killed a Vermilion Bird Altar disciple almost without reason, yet the Holy Land’s Enforcement Hall protected him! Furthermore, later, a Holy Land Elder with a ’green root’ who went to the Holy Land Enforcement Hall to make a fuss about him killing a Vermilion Bird Altar disciple ended up being executed."
"It’s certain... Wyatt Barnes’s talent in Martial Dao might be ordinary, but his talent in Divine Abilities is extraordinary! Of course, what’s most intriguing about him is his mysterious and unfathomable ’background’!"
"Quite so. If it weren’t for a remarkable background, how would the Holy Land Enforcement Hall protect him?"
...
Upon realizing that the new disciple earlier is indeed ’Wyatt Barnes’, the group of disciples from the Four Symbols Altar stopped being surprised by his strength.
After all, they’ve heard about Wyatt Barnes’s strength before.
"So he is Wyatt Barnes..."
Mitchell Knox’s face showed a bitter smile; had he known earlier who was Wyatt Barnes, he wouldn’t have dared to snatch the oversized basket from him, even with a hundred times the courage.
Meanwhile, many disciples from the Four Symbols Altar looked at Mitchell Knox, their eyes showing a bit of sympathy.
Mitchell Knox’s strength might be decent, but it cannot compare to Wyatt Barnes!
Currently, Wyatt Barnes is unaware that his ’identity’ has been guessed by those disciples from the Four Symbols Altar.
Continuing deeper into the mine, Wyatt Barnes carried on mining easily, given his current strength.
Before long, the oversized basket on his back was filled with Grade One Holy Stone ore.
These Holy Stone ores come in various sizes, unpolished, and quite rough.
"Didn’t encounter any ’semi-immortal grade Holy Stone’..."
Having filled a basket full of Grade One Holy Stone ore without finding any semi-immortal grade Holy Stone, Wyatt Barnes felt a bit disappointed.
"Now that the basket is full... It’s time to hand over these Holy Stone ores. I wonder how many baskets of Grade One Holy Stone ore today’s task requires."
Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.
In truth, mining a basket full of Grade One Holy Stone ore wouldn’t take Wyatt Barnes too long.
He had stealthily sent several Grade One Holy Stone ores into the Jewel Tower, thus causing a slight delay.
Of course, the delay was minor.
If not for the concern of hoarding too much Grade One Holy Stone ore would be discovered, Wyatt Barnes surely wouldn’t have stopped until now.
"Continue the next time mining... For now, I’ll halt."
With this thought, Wyatt Barnes, carrying the oversized basket full of Grade One Holy Stone ore, headed back the way he came, becoming the center of attention along the way.
"It’s Wyatt Barnes!"
Hearing some disciples from the Four Symbols Altar exclaim softly, Wyatt Barnes realized he had been recognized.
"Didn’t expect to be recognized so quickly..."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head in silence.
Meanwhile, as Wyatt Barnes continued walking, he noticed those ’little tails’ who had been following him had disappeared.
He wasn’t surprised by this.
Now, he understood why there were so many people following him when he entered the mine... They were all interested in the ’oversized basket’ on his back!
But once he demonstrated his strength and exposed his identity, none dared to set foot on the oversized basket he carried.
What a joke!
In this Punishment Zone, the first mining area of the Four Symbols Altar, including the ’oversized basket’ on Wyatt Barnes’s back, there were a total of ninety oversized baskets... Yet in this Punishment Zone, those at the ’Earth Saint Realm’ and above were only fifty or sixty people.
In other words, there were quite a few outstanding individuals at the peak of the Earth Saint Realm who also held oversized baskets.
Unless someone has lost their senses, the disciples from the Four Symbols Altar in the Punishment Zone would rather snatch those oversized baskets from the significant presences at the peak of the Earth Saint Realm than go after Wyatt Barnes’s oversized basket.
Wyatt Barnes is a powerful existence capable of killing martial artists at the early Heavenly Saint Realm!
His formidable strength touches upon the ’mid Heavenly Saint Realm’!
"Senior Brother, do you know how many Holy Stone mines we need to mine today to complete the task?"
As he prepared to leave the mine, Wyatt Barnes noticed quite a few disciples from the Four Symbols Altar walking out. He approached a middle-aged man who was walking out, and politely asked.
"Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes, you can just call me Junior Brother... In front of you, I dare not take the title of ’Senior Brother’!"
Seeing Wyatt appear in front of him, the middle-aged man felt somewhat uneasy, and upon hearing Wyatt call him ’Senior Brother’, he immediately looked as frightened as a mouse encountering a cat.
Earlier, when Wyatt injured Mitchell Knox in a single move, he was present.
Thus, he knew that the person in front of him was the disciple of the Black Tortoise Altar named ’Wyatt Barnes’, who had just been exiled to their First Mining District Punishment Zone.
He was merely a mid-stage Earth Saint Realm martial artist, so facing Wyatt naturally left him quite nervous.
"Today’s task, considering the oversized basket Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes is carrying... only requires six baskets to complete."
Despite his fear, the middle-aged man dared not neglect Wyatt’s inquiry.
"Thank you."
Seeing how fearful the other person was, Wyatt thanked him and simply shook his head, saying nothing more.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Wyatt moved swiftly, increasing his speed considerably, and soon left the mining area. "Six baskets, huh... Considering my previous speed in mining Grade One Holy Stone mines, filling a basket with Grade One Holy Stone mines should take no more than fifteen minutes."
"However, I also have to spend fifteen minutes throwing the Grade One Holy Stone mines into the Jewel Tower... So, let’s calculate it as half an hour."
"Six baskets will take three hours... Including the time for transportation, it should take less than four hours."
After leaving the mine, Wyatt calculated in his mind.
Meanwhile, he followed the crowd all the way to the place where Holy Stone mines were handed over.
Carrying an oversized basket of Holy Stone mines, Wyatt was destined to become the ’focus’, attracting the attention of many disciples of the Four Symbols Altar along the way.
Their gazes were filled with envy, jealousy, and greed.
Some disciples of the Four Symbols Altar, seeing Wyatt’s unfamiliar face, suspected he was a ’newcomer’ and thought of targetting the oversized basket on Wyatt’s back.
However, upon hearing of Wyatt’s identity from other disciples who knew who Wyatt was, their expressions changed instantly.
They immediately suppressed their greed.
Are you kidding?
That person is ’Wyatt Barnes’, the powerful presence who once killed a Heavenly Saint Realm early stage disciple from the Vermilion Bird Altar. Trying to rob his basket is purely seeking death!
Even when Wyatt arrived at the place for handing over Holy Stone mines, a Copper Flame Elder from the White Tiger Altar was also attracted by Wyatt and said, "Oversized basket? He seems somewhat unfamiliar..."
"Wyatt Barnes?"
However, upon registering Wyatt’s name, this Copper Flame Elder from the White Tiger Altar suddenly understood.
If it’s Wyatt Barnes, then having an oversized basket is no surprise!
After all, Wyatt Barnes’ strength is evident.
Just like the Copper Flame Elder from the Vermilion Bird Altar before, this Copper Flame Elder from the White Tiger Altar was also very courteous to Wyatt upon learning his identity.
"Wyatt Barnes, today you can just deliver this one basket of Holy Stone mines... You’ve just arrived at our First Mining District today, so it’s best to take a rest first."
This Copper Flame Elder from the White Tiger Altar was intending to ’use public power for private gain’ for Wyatt.
"No need!"
Upon hearing the words of the Copper Flame Elder from the White Tiger Altar, Wyatt immediately dismissed it, refusing first.
Are you kidding?
He intends to stay longer inside the mine because the longer he stays, the more Grade One Holy Stone mines he can send into the Jewel Tower.
Although Grade One Holy Stone mines aren’t of much use to him at the Fire Worship Sect.
However, he wasn’t hoarding Grade One Holy Stone mines for himself but for his family and friends.
A large amount of Grade One Holy Stone mines would be an immense fortune for the ’Mansion of Azure Clouds’ far away in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, even potentially elevating their overall strength by more than one level!
"Hmm?"
Though the Copper Flame Elder from the White Tiger Altar didn’t know why Wyatt refused his goodwill, he didn’t press further once Wyatt insisted.
After spending over three hours, Wyatt successfully completed today’s task.
"Next, it’s time to find a place to stay... I’ve heard that the Four Symbols Altar First Mining District ’Punishment Zone’ has a residence for disciples of the Four Symbols Altar, equipped with a cultivation environment equivalent to the ’Grade A rooms’ of the Four Symbols Altar."
"That mansion, I, Wyatt Barnes, will have it!"
With determination flashing in his eyes, he made up his mind.
