Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1983: Outer Island Beyond the Heavens

Hearing the words of the Holy Land Patrol Elder, Wyatt Barnes nodded and then continued to look upward.

He saw that suspended in the air above the colossal volcano were series of floating islands, scattered with clusters of buildings.

The floating islands surrounded a massive central island, like stars circling the moon.

This enormous floating island was unmistakably the ’Chief Island.’

"That large floating island is our Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land’s ’Chief Island,’ and it’s where you’ll be spending your time next,"

The Holy Land Patrol Elder said to Wyatt Barnes at the right moment.

"As for those islands surrounding the Chief Island, they are the residences of our Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land ’Copper Flame Elders’ and ’True Disciples’... Each Copper Flame Elder and each True Disciple has an independent island of their own."

The Holy Land Patrol Elder continued.

"True Disciples?"

Wyatt Barnes knew about the Copper Flame Elders,

but he was hearing about ’True Disciples’ for the first time, so he couldn’t help but look at the Holy Land Patrol Elder with a puzzled expression, "Elder... what is it about ’True Disciples’?"

Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, the Holy Land Patrol Elder explained timely, "True Disciples are the most outstanding among the disciples of our Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, and they are also the ’pillars’ of our Fire Worship Sect’s future!"

"There are two ways to become a True Disciple: one is to possess a talent root of ’blue root’ or higher, and have a cultivation level above the ’Human Saint Realm’; the other is to step into the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ with your cultivation!"

A prodigy with a talent root above ’blue root’?

A cultivation level stepping into the ’Saint Immortal Realm’?

Upon hearing the Holy Land Patrol Elder’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils couldn’t help but contract, realizing the significance of the title ’True Disciple’ in the context of the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land.

True Disciples are akin to the ’future’ of the Fire Worship Sect!

Thus, it makes sense that each has an independent island around the ’Chief Island’ as a place to cultivate.

"Elder."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Wyatt Barnes asked, "Do all our Fire Worship Sect’s Silver Flame Elders, Golden Flame Elders, Protectors, Vice Sect Leader, and Sect Leader... do they all live inside the ’Chief Island’?"

As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes looked towards the massive floating island ahead in the sky.

"Of course not!"

The Holy Land Patrol Elder shook his head and said, "In our Fire Worship Sect, anyone with a status above the ’Silver Flame Elder’ lives on the ’Outer Islands.’"

"Outer Islands?"

Wyatt Barnes looked puzzled.

"Come with me,"

The Holy Land Patrol Elder beckoned to Wyatt Barnes, then rose into the air, shooting toward the horizon.

Wyatt Barnes followed closely.

In a moment, Wyatt Barnes found that the Holy Land Patrol Elder was taking him straight up, even surpassing the height of the ’Chief Island,’ continuing upward.

Meanwhile, the full view of the Chief Island came into Wyatt Barnes’s sight.

The enormous Chief Island, in terms of area, was no smaller than the ’Black Tortoise Altar’ where Wyatt was previously located, with mountains and rivers, along with numerous green plants, and then clusters of various buildings.

The buildings were distributed everywhere, orderly, giving a comfortable feeling from afar.

"Could these so-called ’Outer Islands’ be above the clouds at the horizon?"

Seeing the Holy Land Patrol Elder pass through the clouds, reaching even higher, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but speculate secretly.

Until he followed the Holy Land Patrol Elder through the clouds, seeing the scene beyond, he realized he guessed correctly.

"Are these the ’Outer Islands’?"

After passing through the clouds and reaching higher ground, Wyatt Barnes focused his attention on the series of floating islands in the distance.

These floating islands, located above the clouds over the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land ’Chief Island,’ were distributed across four different altitudes.

At the highest point, there was only one floating island.

Going down, there were five floating islands.

Further below, there were ten floating islands.

And further down, there were fifty floating islands.

"Indeed! These are the ’Outer Islands’!"

The Holy Land Patrol Elder nodded, "Look at the highest Outer Island... that’s where our Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader cultivates! Currently, the Sect Leader is in seclusion there."

Speaking of the Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader, the Holy Land Patrol Elder’s face was full of respect.

"Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader?"

Upon hearing the Holy Land Patrol Elder’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils suddenly contracted, a trace of cold light flashing deep in his eyes.

Currently, because the Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader has not yet come out of seclusion, his wife and daughter are only detained in the Holy Land Enforcement Hall and have not been executed.

However, once the Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader emerges, his wife and daughter will face execution!

The result of the execution will likely be a near-death situation!

If possible, he genuinely hoped the Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader would never emerge from seclusion.

But he also knew that was destined to be a delusion!

"The five outer mystical islands below are the training grounds for our Fire Worship Sect’s two ’Vice Sect Leaders’ and three ’Protectors’.

The Holy Land’s patrol elder continued.

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes also snapped back to reality.

He had heard of the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect before.

As for the three Protectors, they were even more famous!

It is said that the three Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, all of whom are veteran powerhouses of the sect, have a status equivalent to the Four Great Dharma Kings of the equally renowned ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’.

"Cade Simpson!"

Thinking of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, Wyatt couldn’t help but recall the elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, ’Cade Simpson’, who had seized his Demon Sealing Monument and killed Elder Ku in the Mansion of Azure Clouds of the Lower Domain.

As far as he knew:

Cade Simpson was the son of the ’Golden Lion King’, one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect!

Long before, he had regarded Cade Simpson as a mortal enemy.

However, due to Cade Simpson’s overwhelming strength, he could only bury this hatred deep within his heart for the time being...

Yet, once his strength becomes sufficient, he will certainly seek out Cade Simpson, kill him to avenge Elder Ku, and reclaim the Demon Sealing Monument!

"Cade Simpson... wait and see! It won’t be long before I come for you. By then, I will let you know that the ant you once looked down upon can take your life!"

A cold light flashed in Wyatt’s eyes as he made a silent vow.

Meanwhile, the voice of the Holy Land’s patrol elder continued to reach Wyatt’s ears, bringing him back to his senses again.

"The next ten outer mystical islands are the training grounds for our Fire Worship Sect’s ten ’Elder Golden Flames’... However, these ten islands are mostly vacant as the ten Elder Golden Flames are either assigned to preside over the Four Symbols Altar or to oversee the major mining areas under the Four Symbols Altar!"

"Since you came from the Four Symbols Altar, you must be aware of the ’significance’ the Four Symbols Altar and its major mining areas hold for our Fire Worship Sect."

The Holy Land’s patrol elder continued.

Wyatt nodded.

This he naturally knew.

In the Fire Worship Sect, the Four Symbols Altar not only provides fresh blood to the Holy Land but also serves as the ’gateway’ of the sect.

Should anyone attack the Fire Worship Sect, the ’Four Symbols Altar’ would be the first to bear the brunt!

It’s reassuring to have the four Elder Golden Flames stationed at such a critical location.

As for the major mining areas under the Four Symbols Altar, they act as the Fire Worship Sect’s ’second gateway’, ready to withstand the next wave of external assault should the Four Symbols Altar fall.

Additionally, each major mining area possesses ’Grade One Holy Stone’ deposits.

Therefore, the remaining six Elder Golden Flames of the Fire Worship Sect are respectively stationed at the major mining areas of the Four Symbols Altar.

As a result, the Elder Golden Flames are rarely seen in the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land.

Ordinarily, the administration within the Holy Land is almost entirely handled by the Elder Silver Flames and Elder Copper Flames.

All Elder Silver Flames and Elder Copper Flames of the Holy Land are directly overseen and managed by the Fire Worship Sect’s two Vice Sect Leaders... Under the Sect Leader and Protector, the two Vice Sect Leaders are the strongest, even surpassing the ten Elder Golden Flames!

Thus, with them stationed at the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, they form a solid third line of defense for the sect.

Should powerful enemies invade, the three lines of defense would be enough to hold until the Fire Worship Sect’s three strongest Protectors and the Sect Leader make their move!

"The Fire Worship Sect truly deserves to be one of the three most powerful forces in the Martial Dao Sacred Land!"

Wyatt secretly admired.

"As for the remaining fifty outer mystical islands, you can probably guess that they are the residences of the ’Elder Silver Flames’."

The Holy Land’s patrol elder continued.

Wyatt nodded; he had indeed guessed this.

"These outer mystical islands can be admired from afar... But once you get closer, regardless of who you are, even I would face serious punishment if caught!"

At this, the Holy Land’s patrol elder showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

The Holy Land’s patrol elder is merely an ’Elder Copper Flame’ in the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, not yet qualified to train on the outer mystical islands.

"Come! I’ll take you to register... The registration office of our Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land is on the ’main island’.

The Holy Land’s patrol elder called out to Wyatt once more, and as soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and soared into the air, heading straight for the distant main island below.

Upon hearing this, Wyatt naturally followed.

Once near the main island, Wyatt noticed many hurried figures passing by.

These were all wearing the exclusive attire of Holy Land disciples, clearly marking them as ’Holy Land Disciples’.

The chest area of the exclusive attire worn by Holy Land disciples was embroidered with a blazing red flame, clearly a ’mark’.

This mark was not present on the exclusive attire of any elders or disciples of the Four Symbols Altar.

"The Elder Silver Flame at the Punishment Zone of the first mining area of the Four Symbols Altar, as well as the exclusive attire of this Holy Land’s patrol elder, also bore this ’mark’... It seems to be the mark for Holy Land elders and disciples!"

Wyatt found it easy to deduce this after a bit of observation.
