Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2290: The Threat of a ’Half-Step Immortal
"Dad!"
Just as he opened his eyes, before he could even feel his body advancing any further, having reached the limit of ’Solar Saint Origin’ without the aid of the Minor Devouring Technique, Wyatt Barnes heard a familiar exclamation.
"Sienna."
Immediately, Wyatt turned towards the source of the voice.
There stood a young girl, about twelve or thirteen years old.
"Sienna has grown so much..."
Seeing the girl instantly made Wyatt’s heart tremble, "Now, since I initially went into seclusion, it must have been nearly three years, right?"
When he first went into seclusion, Wyatt initially estimated:
In three years, his cultivation should be enough to break through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’!
And now, having officially broken through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, it also indicated that three years had passed.
Seeing his daughter, now blooming like a young maiden, further confirmed that he had been in deep seclusion for a long time...
At this moment, Wyatt’s heart was filled with a sense of guilt.
During his time in seclusion, his daughter had grown from a little girl into a graceful young lady. He, as a father who hadn’t accompanied her through this growth, indeed felt somewhat negligent.
"Dad, you’re finally out!"
Though she had grown into a young lady, Sienna Barnes’s disposition remained unchanged. Seeing Wyatt appear, she immediately soared through the air and leaped into Wyatt’s embrace.
Of course, Wyatt caught her, gently smiling, "In the blink of an eye, Sienna has grown so big... Daddy almost couldn’t recognize you."
"Dad, you’ve been in seclusion for almost three years this time."
Sienna pouted, a bit aggrieved as she spoke to Wyatt.
"Daddy was wrong... Daddy shouldn’t have been in seclusion for so long."
Wyatt replied dotingly, his tone becoming increasingly tender.
"Dad, Mom misses you a lot too."
Now, Sienna had grown into a graceful young lady, still behaving like a little girl in Wyatt’s presence, but with age, she undoubtedly had matured and become more sensible.
So, after indulging in Wyatt’s embrace for a moment, she left his arms, taking him by the hand to Keer’s side.
At this point, she sensibly stepped aside, standing next to Paisley Flores.
"Keer."
Looking at Keer, Wyatt’s gaze transformed into endless tender affection.
"Brother Leandro."
Observing the man who haunted her very soul, Keer softly murmured, and in the next moment, rushed into Wyatt’s embrace, holding him tightly, as if never wanting to let go.
Wyatt, showing a guilty expression, embraced Keer warmly, holding her affectionately.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
Their hearts seemed to meld tightly, inseparable.
"Master!"
Not far away, seeing Wyatt emerge from seclusion, Alvaro Jones couldn’t help but show a somewhat complex expression.
This is the master who helped elevate his innate spirit root to a ’Blue Spirit Root’.
And it was even a deep blue spirit root!
During these three years, his cultivation finally reached the ’Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation’, becoming another Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation elder in the Sacred Wander Palace!
In ordinary times, achieving the Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation would be something to celebrate.
But now, he couldn’t find any joy in it.
Because he knew that even though he reached the Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation, he was viewed as a ’traitor’ by Sacred Wander Palace. Forget about continuing as an elder there, his survival was uncertain.
If there were no ’Thunder Punishment Oath’ binding him, he might have had a choice.
Now, he had no choice but to follow this master to the very end.
"I just hope that the Master, who has been in seclusion for three years, can create a ’miracle’... so I can survive!"
Death is feared by everyone.
Even Alvaro Jones is no exception.
If he could survive, even leaving Sacred Wander Palace, betraying the Human Demon Clan, and wandering the world with his human master, he’d be willing!
Moreover, he had a very strong premonition:
If his master could pass this trial, following him in the future would achieve greater heights than staying at Sacred Wander Palace!
"His aura... compared to three years ago, seems much stronger."
Paisley Flores looked at Wyatt, initially with a complicated gaze, but eventually, her attention shifted to Wyatt’s still unrestrained, faintly emanating aura.
"Three years ago, his cultivation was only at the ’Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation’..."
Paisley clearly understood Wyatt’s true cultivation three years ago, something Alvaro didn’t know but she, as Keer’s twin sister, did.
Although Wyatt’s combat strength before was already enough to rival an ordinary Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert!
However, Paisley Flores knew:
At that time, Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation was actually only at the ’Holy Immortal Seventh Transform’.
"Relying on the ultimate talent root ’black talent root’... in three years, his cultivation should have at least broken through to the ’Holy Immortal Eighth Transform’, right?"
After all, having not reached that level of cultivation nor experienced the ’black talent root’, Paisley could only speculate like this.
"Now, he... should be able to contend with the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace, right?"
Paisley thought to herself.
"Uncle Alvaro, what’s with those clouds that are constantly moving? Oh, they seem to be glowing, so colorful, and really beautiful!"
At some point, Sienna Barnes noticed the rapidly moving dark clouds on the horizon and immediately asked Alvaro Jones.
Upon hearing Sienna’s words, Alvaro also shifted his gaze to the high sky, only then noticing the dark clouds swiftly converging in one direction on the horizon.
The dark clouds filled the sky, converging towards the same direction.
Moreover, behind these dark clouds, there were dazzling colorful lights, occasionally refracting through the gaps between the clouds.
"This is..."
Suddenly, Alvaro’s pupils shrank, his face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed in the first instance:
"Ascension Tribulation!"
Also, Alvaro realized at the last moment that it was not appropriate to disturb his master now, so he deliberately lowered his voice, thus not disturbing Wyatt and Keer, who were still close together.
However, being close to him and focusing on him, Paisley still heard his exclamation.
"Ascension Tribulation?"
For a moment, Paisley’s gaze also shifted to the sky.
Upon seeing those clouds converging toward one place, her face abruptly changed, "It’s truly the ’Tribulation Clouds’ of the Ascension Tribulation!"
As a former disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, Paisley naturally had heard some things about the ’Ascension Tribulation’ and knew the characteristics of its ’Tribulation Clouds’.
Therefore, the moment her gaze moved to the sky, she could completely confirm:
The dark clouds that were constantly roiling and converging in one direction, with faintly visible purple lightning entwining them, were indeed the ’Tribulation Clouds’ of the Ascension Tribulation.
"The direction towards which these Tribulation Clouds are converging is?"
Though her heart trembled, with a vague guess, she still looked at Alvaro and asked for confirmation.
"That direction... is the residence of the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master ’Vast Johnson’!"
Alvaro smiled bitterly, "Earlier, I was wondering with the hatred that Giant Spirit Palace Master ’Archer Stone’ harbors towards the Mansion of Azure Clouds, if our Palace Master doesn’t emerge from seclusion, it stands to reason that he would act directly against the master..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Yet, he obediently stayed outside!"
"I was extremely puzzled by this earlier, not knowing the reason."
"Now, I finally understand... It turns out the Palace Master went into seclusion this time aiming to break through to the ’half-step immortal’ level!"
"Knowing that the Palace Master is about to become a powerful figure at the half-step immortal level... naturally, Archer Stone wouldn’t dare to act rashly against the master within the Sacred Wander Palace!"
Now, Alvaro understood everything.
However, upon understanding, his heart trembled even more, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"It’s truly the Palace Master’s residence?!"
Although she was vaguely prepared mentally, upon obtaining Alvaro’s confirmation, Paisley’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.
"So... Vast Johnson, the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace, is about to undergo tribulation in these few days? Once successfully overcoming the tribulation, he will directly become a powerhouse at the half-step immortal level?!"
With this in mind, the trace of ’hope’ that had risen in Paisley’s heart was ruthlessly shattered again!
Earlier, she speculated that Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation might have broken through to the ’Holy Immortal Eighth Transform’.
Wyatt at the Holy Immortal Seventh Transform was no match for the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace.
So what about Wyatt at the Holy Immortal Eighth Transform?
Because Paisley didn’t know that the Saint Origin had a ’limit’, she did not realize that even if Wyatt’s cultivation reached the Holy Immortal Ninth Transform, he couldn’t be a match for the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace!
Of course, that’s on the premise that the incomplete super holy artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in Wyatt’s hand was ineffective against a Holy Immortal Ninth Transform powerhouse.
Now, realizing that the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace was about to undergo tribulation, and once successful, he would become a powerful figure at the half-step immortal level.
Her ’hope’ was shattered, ’despair’ reborn.
This feeling was akin to a drowning person, barely hanging on to a straw of salvation, only for the straw to break...
It’s a feeling of ascending to heaven from hell, only to fall back into hell from heaven!
"Wait... maybe he fails the tribulation and perishes?"
Thinking of another possibility, Paisley mumbled softly, and her eyes couldn’t help but shine, her face showing a few rays of hope.
According to her knowledge:
A Holy Immortal Ninth Transform powerhouse facing the ’Ascension Tribulation’ was not guaranteed to successfully overcome it!
"Failing the tribulation?"
Upon hearing Paisley’s mumbling, Alvaro couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile, "Impossible to fail!"
