Chapter 2857: Joyous Zen Sect ’Buddha Child

As Wyatt followed closely behind Elder Ancestor Taichi to leave, the voices of those behind reached his keen ears clearly.

He paid them no mind.

He trusted that the Chaos Divine Fire would not deceive him and had no reason to!

"Once you obtain the item within this box, it will be equivalent to having three ’protective charms’... You must ensure you take hold of this box."

These were the original words from the Chaos Divine Fire.

Currently, he assessed his surroundings and guessed that the Chaos Divine Fire would know that he was surrounded by strong individuals, with Immortal Lords everywhere.

In such a situation, the Chaos Divine Fire mentioned that the items within the box could provide him with three protective charms.

This also indicated:

The contents in the box might grant him the opportunity to fear no Immortal Lords thrice, or at the very least, fear no majority of the Immortal Lords!

"Moreover, according to the Chaos Divine Fire... The ’background’ of this box can only be seen through by strong individuals above Immortal Sovereign."

"If that is indeed the case... The items inside might even pose a threat to Immortal Kings!"

Thinking of this, Wyatt’s anticipation grew when he looked at the ancient box in his hand, his gaze intensified with thrill.

After observing the ancient box in his hand for a while, Wyatt then stored it away.

"Predecessor Beckham."

At that moment, Wyatt heard a familiar voice that brought him back to reality.

After coming to, he realized that Elder Ancestor Taichi had led them to gather with another group.

The leading figure of that group was a tall and burly middle-aged man with a rugged appearance, sporting a full beard, offering a disheveled look yet his robe was exceptionally clean, immaculate.

Just this combination of rugged and clean, standing there, a profound dignity emanated from his brows.

That was a form of dignity cultivated by those often in high positions, impossible to develop overnight.

The one respectfully greeting Elder Ancestor Taichi was indeed him!

"Sect Leader of the Dragon Martial Sect, Ole Ferguson!"

With just one glance, Wyatt recognized him as the Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Sect whom he had seen before entering the small world left by an Immortal King.

It was his third time seeing Ole Ferguson.

The first time was before entering that small world.

The second time was after exiting that small world.

And now, it was the third time.

"Sect Leader Ferguson, long time no see."

In response to Ole Ferguson’s greeting, Elder Ancestor Taichi smiled slightly, "I initially thought since Elder Ancestor George Thorn has resurfaced publicly, this Pill Tao conference would have been led by him... but surprisingly, it’s still you leading."

George Thorn was the renowned gossip Immortal Lord of Dragon Warrior Sect, dubbed ’Gold Buddha.’

He was also the father of Jack Thorn, a Dragon Warrior Sect elder who once had conflict with Wyatt and was eventually killed by the current Supreme Elder Cain Iron of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

Back then, due to the incident with Jack Thorn, George Thorn showed himself to the public, unlike before when he stayed hidden.

George Thorn even visited Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, where Wyatt met him, and clearly sensed his hostility.

However, Wyatt did not understand why George Thorn harbored such hostility towards him.

"Elder Ancestor had newfound insights and is currently cultivating in seclusion, so I’m here instead... Unexpectedly, Predecessor Beckham, you are personally leading the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, I thought Sect Leader Daven Buckingham would be leading."

Ole Ferguson replied to Elder Ancestor Taichi with a smile, and as Elder Ancestor Taichi nodded, Ole’s gaze first fell on Wyatt.

"Alchemist Barnes, we meet again."

Ole Ferguson greeted Wyatt with a smile, his tone familiar as if they were well-acquainted.

"Sect Leader Ferguson."

Wyatt nodded slightly to Ole Ferguson as a form of greeting.

"Earlier, I wondered why Alchemist Swayer and others were willing to address you, Alchemist Barnes, as Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s ’Chief Celestial Alchemist’... Now, I fully understand."

Ole Ferguson remarked, "It turns out, Alchemist Barnes, you are a top-grade celestial alchemist capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pill."

"Moreover, you are not yet a hundred years old, Alchemist Barnes!"

At the end of his comment, Ole Ferguson expressed his envy, "I’m truly envious of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect for having an Alchemist Barnes, a celestial alchemist as an offering."

"Sect Leader Ferguson, you overpraise."

Wyatt responded modestly.

"Don’t be modest, Alchemist Barnes... Even our Dragon Warrior Sect’s two sacrificial officers accompanying us here wish to be acquainted with you."

Speaking again, Ole Ferguson introduced the two individuals from behind to Wyatt.

These two were the top-grade celestial alchemist sacrificial officers from Dragon Warrior Sect, exhibiting humility before Wyatt, without arrogance.

This was solely because Wyatt was a top-grade celestial alchemist capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pill, all before reaching the age of a hundred!

Just as Wyatt engaged in casual conversation with the two sacrificial officers from Dragon Warrior Sect.

"Beckham Ho, Sect Leader Ole Ferguson."

A woman’s voice, which Wyatt Barnes seemed to have heard somewhere before, sounded and immediately drew Wyatt’s attention, causing him to turn his head.

With just one glance, Wyatt saw a group of people walking towards them, led by a woman in green.

"Julie Simplicity, Sect Leader of the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect!"

Wyatt instantly recognized that the woman in green at the front was none other than Julie Simplicity, the Sect Leader of the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect.

Like Ole Ferguson, the Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, this was the third time Wyatt Barnes had seen Julie Simplicity.

While Julie Simplicity led her people over to greet Elder Ancestor and Ole Ferguson, Wyatt saw:

Annie Campbell was also among the group from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect.

"Wyatt Barnes, I heard from Alisson that she went to find you... Also, you found out from her that Milana Harrington had arrived in the Desolate Domain’s Pill Tao City."

When Wyatt saw Annie Campbell, Annie also saw Wyatt and immediately spoke to him through transmission, "Why didn’t you go to find Milana? "

As she spoke, Annie Campbell almost interrogated Wyatt Barnes.

If it were in the past, before knowing Wyatt Barnes could concoct the Rowan Heaven Pill, Annie Campbell wouldn’t have thought much of it even if Wyatt didn’t go to find Milana Harrington.

Because, once Wyatt went to find Milana Harrington, there would surely be a life-threatening danger.

The Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect would definitely not spare Wyatt Barnes, who tainted Milana Harrington’s honor!

But now, after learning that Wyatt Barnes was an alchemist who could concoct the top-grade Rowan Heaven Pill, she felt Wyatt Barnes had the capital to negotiate with the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

In her eyes, as long as Wyatt Barnes was willing to pledge allegiance to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, the sect might not be unwilling to facilitate a union between Wyatt Barnes and Milana Harrington.

Facing Annie Campbell’s questioning, Wyatt Barnes calmly replied through transmission, "I know what I’m doing... There’s no need for you, Third Miss Campbell, to worry."

After speaking, Wyatt no longer paid attention to Annie Campbell, whose face turned red with anger.

"Alchemist Barnes!"

At this moment, Julie Simplicity’s gaze also fell on Wyatt Barnes, much warmer and friendlier than the previous two times she had met Wyatt Barnes.

Julie Simplicity’s change in attitude was naturally the same as Ole Ferguson’s, due to learning that Wyatt Barnes was an alchemist capable of concocting the top-grade Rowan Heaven Pill.

Moreover, Wyatt Barnes was an alchemist who could concoct the Rowan Heaven Pill despite being under a hundred years old!

Such an alchemist, as long as they could acquire a supreme-grade immortal fire in the future, had limitless prospects.

If not necessary, they preferred to ally with such an alchemist rather than offend them.

"Sect Leader Julie."

Wyatt Barnes smiled and greeted her.

Subsequently, Julie Simplicity introduced the three top-grade alchemists they brought from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect to Wyatt Barnes.

These three top-grade alchemists were also sincere and humble in front of Wyatt Barnes, just like the two top-grade alchemists from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.

However, what surprised Wyatt Barnes somewhat was:

Among the three top-grade alchemists from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect, one was a woman, an elderly lady appearing over seventy years old.

As Wyatt Barnes was dealing with three top-grade alchemists from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect,

A voice, filled with an air of superiority, sounded just at the right time behind Wyatt Barnes:

"Are you Wyatt Barnes? The chief alchemist of the Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

This voice was very unfamiliar to Wyatt Barnes, who was quite certain he had never heard it before.

Clearly, this was a stranger.

Moreover, the voice carried an air of superiority, as if saying, "The heavens are great, I’m second."

However, Wyatt Barnes had no intention of paying attention to him, pausing slightly before continuing to interact with the three top-grade alchemists from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect.

Yet, the three top-grade alchemists from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect stopped conversing with Wyatt Barnes.

When their gaze fell on the person speaking behind Wyatt, their pupils collectively contracted as if they saw something intimidating.

"Alchemist Barnes, this is the ’Buddha Child’ of the Joyous Zen Sect."

One of the top-grade alchemists from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect kindly informed Wyatt Barnes through transmission.

"Buddha Child?"

Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained unchanged and he replied through transmission, "What’s that?"

He had heard of the Joyous Zen Sect, and it was because of the minor world left behind by the Immortal Kings of the Joyous Zen Sect that he mistakenly became a spouse to Milana Harrington of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

But, he had never heard of this ’Buddha Child’ before.

"Anyone established as a ’Buddha Child’ by the Joyous Zen Sect is, barring unexpected circumstances, the next Sect Leader of the Joyous Zen Sect."

The top-grade alchemist from the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect informed him through transmission.

"So it’s the Buddha Child of the Joyous Zen Sect... May I ask, what does the Buddha Child seek from Alchemist Barnes?"

Seeing the atmosphere turn oppressive as Wyatt Barnes ignored the Buddha Child of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Elder Ancestor spoke up at the right time.
