Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2007: Inheritance of the Celestial Saint Markings Master

Originally, when Wyatt Barnes heard Reuben Willow say there were ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, he was already very surprised.

After all, even ’Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’ in the Fire Worship Sect Holy Land are worth ten million contribution points... If it’s a ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifact’, how many contribution points would it be worth?

And now, hearing Reuben Willow’s next words, Wyatt Barnes was like being struck by lightning, stunned for a while without coming to his senses.

"The Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifact is the super artifact on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List?"

Wyatt was bewildered, truly bewildered.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he never would have imagined:

The ten super artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List are actually the legendary ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’!

Of the ten super artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, he hadn’t encountered the other nine, but the Demon Sealing Monument had been with him for a long time.

As a result, he was very familiar with the Demon Sealing Monument.

The Demon Sealing Monument, besides its special ability to ’seal demons’, seemed not to have much other use, and in terms of augmenting power, it was even less effective than ordinary artifacts.

And now, hearing Reuben Willow’s explanation, Wyatt Barnes immediately realized that this was the special feature of the ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifact’:

The Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifact is different from the Thousand Patterns Saint Artifact, Hundred Patterns Saint Artifact, and Ten Patterns Saint Artifact.

For the latter, the more Saint Markings engraved, the stronger the augmentation power, allowing the bearer to exhibit more formidable attacks during confrontations!

The former, however, is not solely focused on enhancing augmentation power.

On this point, Wyatt Barnes was very clear, because the Demon Sealing Monument itself is not an artifact focused on enhancing augmentation power.

"It’s truly unexpected... The super artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List are actually the legendary ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’! Moreover, in the history of Martial Dao Sacred Land, there has only been one Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master who could engrave ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’."

Reflecting on this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel a multitude of emotions.

At the same time, he deeply realized that the Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master was truly a prodigious talent!

It should be noted that the ten ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’ left behind by him have been passed down to this day and are recognized as the strongest ten artifacts in Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Later generations even refer to them as ’super artifacts’ and established a list for these ten super artifacts known as the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List.

The Top Ten Sacred Artifact List also represents the strongest ten artifacts in Martial Dao Sacred Land!

Thus far, they have not been surpassed.

Of course, Wyatt Barnes also understood:

Whether it’s his ’Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’ or the few Immortal Treasures inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, including the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’, once taken out, they can easily surpass the top ten super artifacts.

However, they are not Saint Artifacts but Immortal Treasures, Immortal Artifacts, things not belonging to this world.

They originate from the Heavenly Realms!

So, there is fundamentally no comparison.

As far as Martial Dao Sacred Land is concerned, the Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master who left behind the ten super artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List was indeed a genius without precedent, and none seem likely to succeed him for the time being.

"The Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master, even the ’Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’, are legendary existences... But the ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’ can be forged by some Quasi-Immortal Tier and above Saint Refiners focused on the art of artifact crafting."

Reuben Willow continued: "Furthermore, the materials needed to forge a ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’ are extremely rare and hard to find... Generally, only ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Masters’ will go to great lengths to search for those materials."

"At such times, the role of our Fire Worship Sect and the other two great sects comes into play... As the three strongest forces in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, it’s not difficult to seek the materials needed to forge a ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’."

"Of course, unless the ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master’ joins any one of the three sects... Otherwise, for any sect to make an effort for him, he needs to make a promise."

Having said this, Reuben Willow paused before continuing: "That promise is to help inscribe several ’Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’ for the Quasi-Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master in the future... Our Fire Worship Sect’s ’Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’ mostly come in this way."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, this he could understand.

The Quasi-Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master wants to utilize the help of the three sects to find materials for forging the ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’; while the three sects want the Quasi-Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master’s inscribed ’Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’.

Mutual assistance, beneficial and harmless.

"So, not to mention the legendary ’Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’, even the ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’ isn’t accessible to just anyone... The value of the Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool is not at all comparable to inscription tools like the ’Nine-Star Inscription Pen’."

Reuben Willow finished in one breath, and Wyatt Barnes came to deeply realize the preciousness of the ’Quasi-Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’.

As for the ’Immortal Tier Inscription Tool’, that’s a legendary existence, something one can hope to chance upon but never deliberately seek.

"Reuben Willow, Senior Brother... you just said that the Immortal Tier Sacred Inscription Master, for his entire life, only inscribed ten ’Ten-Thousand Patterns Saint Artifacts’? You mean his life eventually reached its end?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes thought of this point and couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.

"That’s correct."

Reuben Willow nodded, "However, his lifespan is shorter than most... because when he inscribed the ’Ten Thousand Marking Sacred Artifact,’ he not only needed to exert his heart and soul but also had to sacrifice his lifespan!"

"After inscribing ten pieces of ’Ten Thousand Marking Sacred Artifact,’ he couldn’t break through to the seventh transformation of the Saint Immortal — ’Sky Defying Transformation’ — within his limited lifespan, thus he could not attain immortality."

"It is said that during that era, he was a Martial Dao genius equipped with a ’deep blue’ talent spiritual root... However, because the Martial Dao Sacred Land at that time hadn’t been divided into Upper and Lower Domains, the cultivation environment was not as favorable as the current Upper Domain. Additionally, he concentrated on the path of inscriptions, so he never timely broke through to the seventh transformation of the Saint Immortal — ’Sky Defying Transformation’."

"If he had managed to break through to the seventh transformation of the Saint Immortal — ’Sky Defying Transformation,’ it would mean he could live as long as heaven and earth... then he inscribing the ’Ten Thousand Marking Sacred Artifact’ would no longer be restricted by lifespan. If that were the case, today’s Martial Dao Sacred Land wouldn’t only have ten pieces of ’Ten Thousand Marking Sacred Artifact.’

Speaking to this point, Reuben Willow couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"Didn’t that predecessor leave behind any ’successor’?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Legend has it that... after his death, he left behind a legacy of his ’Saint Markings technique.’ But to this day, no one has discovered where he left the legacy."

Reuben Willow replied, "After his death, even the three leading sects, including our ’Fire Worship Sect,’ deployed ample manpower and resources just to find the legacy left by that ’Immortal Saint Markings Master.’ Yet, ultimately, they found nothing."

"So, the legacy left by that ’Immortal Saint Refiner’ is in the ’Lower Domain’?"

Wyatt Barnes asked again.

"Yes."

Reuben Willow nodded, "At that time, the Martial Dao Sacred Land had not been divided into Upper and Lower Domains; there was only the ’Lower Domain’."

"If I could find the place where that ’Immortal Saint Markings Master’ left his legacy, that would be incredible!"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but have such a thought.

Of course, he also knew that he was merely wishful thinking.

So many years have passed, and even the three leading sects put in tremendous manpower and resources without locating the legacy. What chance does he have?

After leaving the palace selling sacred artifacts, Reuben Willow continued to lead Wyatt Barnes and Kori Willow around other palaces.

Meanwhile, more and more people had been staring at them as they passed by... specifically, they were staring at ’Wyatt Barnes.’

"Is he ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

"He’s the one who killed the True Disciple ’Wade Yorke’? And also claimed a million contribution points?"

"I came late today so I missed his and Wade Yorke’s duel to the death... what a shame!"

"Shame? You should be grateful... It is said that over ninety percent of those who witnessed his and Wade Yorke’s life-and-death duel lost a lot of contribution points! Almost everyone bet on Wade Yorke winning."

...

The Sacred Land disciples giving Wyatt Barnes ’admiring glances’ were those who had just arrived at the central plaza. They all missed Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke’s ’life-and-death duel.’

"Isn’t the person beside Wyatt Barnes Senior Brother Reuben Willow?"

"Senior Brother Reuben Willow seems to be very courteous to him..."

"Can you not be courteous? Given the display of Wyatt Barnes’s strength today, even Senior Brother Reuben Willow may not be able to match him!"

"Yes. I heard that today the sword move Wyatt Barnes used to kill Wade Yorke was so swift that neither Senior Brother Reuben Willow nor the three Copper Flame Elders from the Life and Death Hall could capture any trace... This sufficiently shows that Wyatt Barnes’s sword strike is so fast, even experts at the second transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm couldn’t capture it!"

"It is said Wade Yorke also consumed a forbidden pill medicine, elevating his Saint Origin to the ’second transformation of the Saint Immortal’... yet, he still met his end at Wyatt Barnes’s hand!"

"What a waste! Such a high-level forbidden pill medicine must be worth at least hundreds of thousands of contribution points, right? And yet it just got wasted by Wade Yorke... terribly extravagant!"

...

Meanwhile, many Sacred Land disciples recognized Reuben Willow while simultaneously praising and lamenting Wyatt Barnes’s ability from various aspects.

Under Reuben Willow’s lead and with Kori Willow’s company, Wyatt Barnes visited all the palaces around the central plaza and learned the ’functions’ of each palace.

While Wyatt Barnes was wandering around the palaces.

The news about him killing the True Disciple ’Wade Yorke’ in the Life and Death Hall of the Sacred Land spread rapidly like a hurricane throughout the Fire Worship Sect Sacred Land.

And the news quickly reached the various mining areas of the Four Symbols Altar of the Fire Worship Sect, extending to every altar under the Four Symbols Altar!

When the news reached the ’Black Tortoise Altar,’ the Black Tortoise Altar was thoroughly thrown into an uproar:

"Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes, just ten days after arriving at the Sacred Land, eliminated a true disciple? Good heavens! Is this real?!"

"True Disciple... That’s a True Disciple! They represent the most outstanding disciples in the Fire Worship Sect’s Sacred Land! Every single one is beyond the ’Saint Immortal Realm!’ And yet Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes eliminated one?"
