Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2606: Cultivation Techniques of Recognized Grade

"What?!"

"His strength... is actually on par with yours?!"

Almost the moment Makai Holland’s words fell, Manuel Willow’s pupils couldn’t help but slightly contract, revealing a look of astonishment.

"Yes."

Makai Holland nodded and then recounted in detail what happened today in the Valley of the God of War to Manuel Willow...

Moreover, he also took out an ’Immortal Talisman’ and crushed it.

Instantly.

Whoosh!

With a soft sound, in this vast hall, a light curtain appeared out of thin air, featuring continuously changing mirrored images.

The mirrored images reflected this very day’s scenes of Wyatt Barnes and Hector Simplicity dueling in the Valley of the God of War.

Beginning from Hector’s first attack, which ended in vain...

To Hector’s second attack, exerting all his anger, yet still in vain.

Following closely, that purple-clad youth, standing with hands behind his back like a Divine Being, didn’t seem to make any movements, when the giant sword beneath his feet raised up, spewing a dazzling sword light, and then descended upon Hector with its body.

The sword pressed through the void, directly exploding Hector Simplicity into a mist of blood!

"Hiss—"

Even Manuel Willow, the City Lord of Bloodshade City, who had weathered many storms, couldn’t help but inhale sharply when he finished watching the mirrored images recorded by Makai Holland’s Immortal Talisman.

"His strength is indeed on par with yours."

After a moment, Manuel Willow said with a solemn expression.

Of course, in Manuel Willow’s mind, there were still many words left unsaid.

That is, when he watched the purple-clad youth making his move, he appeared calm and composed, seeming not to exert his full power...

Another thing.

That purple-clad youth never used the Immortal Artifact from beginning to end.

"I wonder... if I were to face him, how much chance of victory would I have."

Manuel Willow pondered silently.

After a while, Manuel Willow looked at Makai Holland again, saying solemnly, "Holland, what do you think he seeks by going to the Black Dragon Army?"

"I asked him this myself."

Makai Holland said, "He said... he just wants to find a place to train."

"Find a place to train?"

Manuel Willow was stunned.

...

Black Dragon Army camp.

Wyatt Barnes did not know that the Black Dragon Army leader ’Makai Holland’ went to find the Bloodshade City Lord regarding his affairs after leaving the Valley of the God of War himself, he returned to his tent, preparing to continue training.

"It’s a pity, I don’t have the cultivation methods of the realms with ranks... otherwise, the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ I exert with Immortal Origin Force would enhance my power by more than just two levels."

Wyatt sighed.

Years ago, when the tower spirit of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower ’Elder Fire’ was still around, he told Wyatt that the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ he obtained was a very formidable Divine Ability, even placed within the realms with ranks.

But, generally, only the Immortal Origin Force tempered by cultivation methods with ranks within the realms can unleash its full potential.

That is to say:

Although Wyatt Barnes fully mastered the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’, the power he could exert was limited because his Immortal Origin Force had not been tempered by a ranked cultivation method.

Once he cultivates a method with ranks, and tempers his Immortal Origin Force within his body, the potency of the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ he exerts will be worlds apart from the one he uses now!

"Earlier, I heard the tavern waiter say that the Bloodshade City Lord possesses a ranked cultivation method. However, it’s said that across Bloodshade City, only the City Lord himself, and the leaders of the Black Dragon and Army of Silver Sea Dragon have trained in it."

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes flashed, muttering, "In the realms, the importance of a ranked cultivation method is undeniable... The fundamental function of a ranked cultivation method is to temper the Immortal Origin Force within. The most crucial role, however, is to enhance one’s cultivation speed."

"The better the cultivation method, the faster it can elevate one’s cultivation level."

"Perhaps... I should try to obtain that cultivation method from the Bloodshade City Lord."

Talking to himself, Wyatt’s eyes brightened, shining with vigor.

Once he obtains that cultivation method, his cultivation speed will be further accelerated.

Of course, he also knows that not everyone can acquire that cultivation method.

At least within Bloodshade City, it’s said that only the City Lord himself and the leaders of the Black Dragon and Army of Silver Sea Dragon have trained in it.

"With my current strength, even if I face that Bloodshade City Lord ’Manuel Willow’, I might not necessarily lose... However, resorting to force to obtain that cultivation method from him is unrealistic."

Wyatt sighed internally.

In fact, after leaving the ’Small World’ left by the Immortal King from the Joyous Meditation Sect, Wyatt Barnes came to understand:

Having broken through to the level of ’Azure Moon Immortal,’ if he were to go all out, even the two commanders of the Black Dragon Army and the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, or even the City Lord of Bloodshade City, might not be his match...

However, it was impossible for him to replace the two commanders of the Black Dragon Army and the Army of Silver Sea Dragon.

Because, to become a commander of the Black Dragon Army or the Army of Silver Sea Dragon takes more than just strength; it requires the recognition of the City Lord of Bloodshade City.

As for the City Lord of Bloodshade City, even if his strength surpasses the lord’s, he couldn’t possibly force the City Lord to appoint him as a commander of the Black Dragon Army or the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, nor could he kill the City Lord and seize control of Bloodshade City.

Because, behind the City Lord of Bloodshade City is the ’Nine Nether County.’

To become the City Lord of Bloodshade City, one must get the approval of Nine Nether County!

If he were to use his strength to force the City Lord of Bloodshade City, the City Lord could completely send a message to Nine Nether County to have them dispatch experts to support him and deal with him...

If he rashly kills the City Lord of Bloodshade City, Nine Nether County wouldn’t let him go.

Because of this, despite his strength, Wyatt Barnes can only serve as a Centurion of the Black Dragon Army for now, as it’s the only way to live peacefully in Bloodshade City...

As for heading to Nine Nether County, or even places with broader ’stages’ than Nine Nether County, he has considered it.

But he always feels that his strength is still somewhat lacking.

If, on his way to Nine Nether County, or to a broader ’stage’ beyond Nine Nether County, he encounters attacks from beings stronger than him, he would find it hard to survive...

Therefore, what Wyatt Barnes is thinking now is:

To further enhance his strength in Bloodshade City, and only after confirming that he has a certain ability to protect himself, will he leave Bloodshade City to explore a broader ’stage,’ to further improve his strength.

Currently, he is not without attachments.

He carries too many ’responsibilities’ on his shoulders.

He is no longer living purely for himself, but also for his family and friends...

"Cultivation Methods... Cultivation Methods of the Celestial Planes..."

Since he couldn’t help but think about Cultivation Methods of the Celestial Planes, Wyatt Barnes found it hard to calm his mind to cultivate, and eventually, in frustration, he stopped cultivating and left his tent.

"Commander?"

As Wyatt Barnes stepped out of his tent, he coincidentally saw the returning commander of the Black Dragon Army, ’Makai Holland.’

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes."

Makai Holland came over to Wyatt Barnes and greeted him very courteously, never showing an ’upper-handed’ attitude and greeting Wyatt Barnes with complete equality.

The reason for this, naturally, was because he had witnessed Wyatt Barnes’ strength, which was not inferior to his own.

"Commander, I’ve heard that in our Bloodshade City... there’s an ’Earth Rank Cultivation Method’?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Makai Holland and asked straightforwardly.

What he was referring to was exactly that Cultivation Method in the possession of the City Lord of Bloodshade City.

In the Celestial Planes, Cultivation Methods, like Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, are divided into multiple ranks...

Among them, the worst is the ’Earth Rank Cultivation Method.’

Of course, though said to be the worst, it is only considered so among the ranked Cultivation Methods in the Celestial Planes, and is much better than those unranked methods.

The "Nine Dragons War Sovereign" that Wyatt Barnes practices is an unranked Cultivation Method in the Celestial Planes.

Although it can continue to be cultivated, its speed is far inferior to those ranked Cultivation Methods.

Moreover, the "Nine Dragons War Sovereign" cannot refine Immortal Origin, which means the Immortal Origin cannot be used to better support and enhance Divine Abilities in battle!

"Yes."

Makai Holland nodded, "That method was bestowed to our City Lord of Bloodshade City by the Lord County Governor of Nine Nether County... In Bloodshade City, only the City Lord, the commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, and the Golden Serpent Guards have cultivated that method."

"Golden Serpent Guards?"

Wyatt Barnes was somewhat surprised because he hadn’t known beforehand that the Golden Serpent Guards by the City Lord of Bloodshade City had also cultivated that method.

"Yes."

Makai Holland nodded.

"So... the fact that the hundred Golden Serpent Guards are all at the ’Golden Immortal’ level is largely due to that Earth Rank Cultivation Method?"

Previously, when Wyatt Barnes learned from a tavern waiter that the hundred Golden Serpent Guards were all Golden Immortals, it had greatly astonished him.

Even in the Black Dragon Army and the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, each has only about a dozen Golden Immortals.

"A hundred Golden Serpent Guards?"

However, upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Makai Holland just shook his head, "A hundred Golden Serpent Guards is merely an outside misconception... In reality, the City Lord has only eighteen Golden Serpent Guards, collectively known as the ’Eighteen Golden Serpent Guards.’

"However, despite having only eighteen Golden Serpent Guards, their strength far surpasses the centurions of the Black Dragon Army and the Army of Silver Sea Dragon."

At this point, Makai Holland added, "Of course, not including you, Centurion Wyatt Barnes."

"Commander, if I desire that Cultivation Method... would the City Lord be willing to pass it onto me?"

Wyatt Barnes asked directly.
