Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1982: Journey to the Holy Land

Six days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, inside the only ’Room A’ in the Punishment Zone of the First Mining Area of the Four Symbols Altar, Wyatt Barnes suddenly appeared.

After putting away the Jewel Tower, Wyatt stepped out, arrived at the front yard of a large mansion, and looked up at the sky, taking a deep breath, "Heaven truly rewards the diligent... I have finally comprehended it!"

Almost as soon as Wyatt finished speaking.

The vast ’Solar Holy Power’ surged out from his body through the ninety-nine Saint Veins, forming a massive shadow around him as it spread.

It was the imposing figure of a ’Black Tortoise Shadow’.

Simultaneously, the Solar Holy Power on the Black Tortoise Shadow flickered intermittently.

The enormous Black Tortoise Shadow enveloped Wyatt tightly, completely impregnable!

Evidently, this was the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’, which Wyatt had successfully comprehended and mastered, known as the premier divine ability of the Fire Worship Sect!

"Now, the advanced divine abilities I possess... attack, defense, movement, and auxiliary... I have them all!"

With a thought, he retracted the Black Tortoise Shadow, and a satisfied smile appeared on Wyatt’s face.

"Since I have successfully comprehended the ’Black Tortoise Shield’, there’s no need for me to return to the mines to excavate Holy Stones today... I can leave!"

Wyatt’s eyes brightened, and he then soared into the sky, flying away from the residence of the Four Symbols Altar disciples in the Punishment Zone of the First Mining Area.

Over the past few days, although Wyatt was immersed in comprehending the divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ every day, he still took some time to mine Holy Stones to complete the daily tasks assigned to them in the Punishment Zone as Four Symbols Altar disciples serving in the First Mining Area.

Of course, while completing tasks, he also threw many Grade One Holy Stone Mines into the Jewel Tower.

He encountered another quasi-immortal grade Holy Stone mine, though not as large as the previous one he found, he threw it casually into the Jewel Tower as well.

"Where should I go now?"

After leaving the residence of the Four Symbols Altar disciples in the Punishment Zone of the First Mining Area, Wyatt was at a loss as to where to demonstrate his divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ to gain amnesty.

Finally, he went to the registration office for new disciples in the Punishment Zone of the First Mining Area of the Four Symbols Altar.

As fate would have it.

The elder on duty today was the same one he encountered when he arrived that day.

The Punishment Zone elder, dressed in the unique clothing of a Vermilion Bird Altar bronze flame elder, upon seeing Wyatt’s arrival, lit up and simultaneously showed a look of confusion, "Wyatt Barnes, do you... need something from me?"

He had also heard a few days ago that Wyatt was a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’, and after transforming into a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, his strength could rival that of a Saint Immortal Realm expert.

Therefore, he was now even more courteous to Wyatt than before.

"Elder, I want to ask... if I want to receive amnesty from the First Mining Area of the Four Symbols Altar, whom should I approach?"

Wyatt inquired directly.

"Amnesty?"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, the Vermilion Bird Altar bronze flame elder was initially taken aback, then he smiled bitterly, "Wyatt Barnes, I know your strength is impressive... however, to receive amnesty, you must first pass the ’Holy Land Assessment’ and become a ’Holy Land disciple’!"

"When you participate in the ’Holy Land Assessment’, you may apply to temporarily leave our Four Symbols Altar’s First Mining Area Punishment Zone."

The Vermilion Bird Altar bronze flame elder explained very patiently.

"Elder... as far as I know, successfully comprehending the protective divine ability of a particular altar from the Four Symbols Altar seems to also grant direct amnesty, right? I recall that Brother Mats Davidson achieved this very thing!"

Wyatt added.

Gasp!

As Wyatt’s words fell, the Vermilion Bird Altar bronze flame elder’s pupils contracted instantly, and he took a deep breath, showing a shocked expression, "You... you didn’t also comprehend the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’, did you?!"

"Mm."

Wyatt nodded, and at the same time, the Solar Holy Power surged out, transforming into a massive ’Black Tortoise Shadow’ around him.

"It really is the ’Black Tortoise Shield’!"

Seeing the Black Tortoise Shadow, the Vermilion Bird Altar bronze flame elder gasped once more.

In less than a month, two Black Tortoise Altar disciples had consecutively comprehended the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’!

Wasn’t it said that the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective divine ability was the hardest to comprehend?

Are they playing a joke on him?

Since Wyatt had comprehended the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’, everything thereafter was straightforward.

The Vermilion Bird Altar bronze flame elder at the registration office contacted another Punishment Zone elder, instructing the latter to take Wyatt to the Punishment Zone’s silver flame elder from the Holy Land, who was responsible for granting ’amnesty’.

All Wyatt had to do was demonstrate the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’ in front of the silver flame elder, and he would be granted amnesty, allowing him to leave the Four Symbols Altar’s First Mining Area and proceed to the Holy Land to become a ’Holy Land disciple’!

Wow!

Under the gaze of the silver flame elder, Wyatt once again displayed the divine ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’, and the massive ’Black Tortoise Shadow’ reappeared, surrounding him completely.

Witnessing this scene, even the silver flame elder from the Holy Land couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

"Wyatt Barnes, you truly live up to your reputation! It’s said you’ve already mastered three advanced divine abilities before this... and now, you’ve mastered an advanced defensive divine ability. You’ve indeed mastered all four types of advanced divine abilities."

Elder Silver Flame spoke with a tone of envy upon his face.

Even he had only mastered two advanced Divine Abilities!

While the person before him had mastered a total of four advanced Divine Abilities, and they were of four different types:

Attack Divine Ability!

Defense Divine Ability!

Movement Divine Ability!

Support Divine Ability!

Possessing all four, he was both envious and jealous...

"This is a ’Pardon Document’... From now on, you no longer need to serve in the Grade One mining area of Four Symbols Altar."

Elder Silver Flame raised his hand and handed the Pardon Document of the Grade One mining area to Wyatt Barnes.

With this Pardon Document, Wyatt Barnes could leave the Grade One mining area without being stopped.

Otherwise, before he could get far, he would have been intercepted by an elder patrolling the Grade One mining area.

"Wyatt Barnes, you have already comprehended the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Protection’. You may proceed directly to the Holy Land... As long as you display the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Protection’ in front of the Holy Land’s patrol elder, he will take you to register as a ’Holy Land disciple’!"

"Before that, if you have any unfinished matters at the Black Tortoise Altar, you might want to handle them first. Because once you become a Holy Land disciple, returning to the Grade One mining area will be difficult."

Elder Silver Flame reminded Wyatt before he left.

However, Wyatt did not have any matters to attend to at the Black Tortoise Altar.

Therefore, after leaving the Grade One mining area, he headed directly towards the direction of the Holy Land.

Soon, he was intercepted by a patrol elder from the Holy Land.

After Wyatt displayed the Black Tortoise Altar’s protective Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Protection’, the Holy Land patrol elder took him into the Holy Land.

Arriving at the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land for the first time, Wyatt glanced around curiously.

The Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land was a desert area, with mountains and rivers, yet not a single touch of green.

In this desert land, aside from mountains and rivers, the most visible color was red, which from afar resembled clusters of red ’flowers’.

However, these were not real flowers.

To humans, it represented something highly significant; without it, survival would be an issue.

Flame!

The red ’flowers’ that filled the ancient and mysterious desert land were indeed the flames that humans relied upon for survival.

Especially in this desert, flames draped with a veil of mystery and supreme power.

Throughout the desert could be seen spacious ’altars’.

At the center of these altars stood large fire basins, lifted by stands, from which bright flames soared, with scorching heat waves emanating outward, transforming into heat waves that slapped against those nearby, causing sweat to appear on many foreheads.

Nevertheless, instead of discomfort or disgust, these individuals bowed on the ground, paying homage to the fire basins.

To be precise, they were worshipping the flames rising out of the fire basins.

If looked at closely, their gazes upon the flames were filled with devotion, as if each and every one of them were pious followers of the flames, and flames were their faith.

And indeed, they were.

These individuals were the indigenous people within the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect. They were all ordinary people living self-sufficiently, leading a secluded lifestyle.

They worshiped the flames, being the most devout followers of the flames.

In their eyes, flames were everything; with flames, this world existed.

"Could the name ’Fire Worship Sect’ have originated from this?"

Observing the group of people fervently worshipping fire, Wyatt mused internally.

Following the Holy Land patrol elder onward, he also witnessed a chain of active volcanoes past the desert region, capturing Wyatt’s gaze.

Each volcano’s peak constantly erupted with fiery flames, with every spurt rendering the entire sky red, thus illuminating the surroundings greatly.

"In our Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, due to the presence of these volcanoes, ’night’ never truly falls here... Perhaps, only until the active volcanoes cease to erupt will night truly come!"

Explained the Holy Land patrol elder.

"That volcano..."

Soon, Wyatt saw a massive volcano.

This volcano stood surrounded by a constellation of perpetually erupting active volcanoes, akin to an ’emperor’.

Yet it contrasted starkly with the surrounding active volcanoes due to its lack of eruption.

"This volcano is also an active one, though it erupts less frequently, doing so only once a month."

Seemingly recognizing Wyatt’s puzzlement, the Holy Land patrol elder clarified.
