Chapter 3045: Ruby King

After a short while, Wyatt Barnes began circulating his cultivation technique to train.

And the technique he was cultivating now was still Mystic Skills, the Monarch Grade technique taught to him by Leilany’s grandaunt before her remnant soul perished!

"I wonder how Leilany is doing now..."

Every time he cultivated, because he had to run Mystic Skills, Wyatt would unavoidably think of Leilany and worry about her situation.

Wyatt, who had closed his eyes to cultivate, did not notice that as he began cultivating, relying on the Divine Tree in his body to rapidly absorb the heaven and earth Spiritual Energy, on the Icy bed beneath him, streaks of phantasmal icy shadows were darting out from within the bed.

These shadows looked graceful and charming, like one Heavenly Immortal woman after another dancing, and there were many of them; their dance rhythm was also extremely fast.

If the Sect Leader of the Cloudless Immortal Sect, Liam Davidson, were here to see this scene, he would definitely be shocked out of his wits.

Simply because, for a bed made from Flying Immortal Mystic Ice, only when the person cultivating on it cultivated to a certain speed would the bed produce a vision.

The more exaggerated the vision, the more it showed that the person on the bed was cultivating at a terrifying speed.

Yet even when Liam Davidson himself cultivated on a bed made from Flying Immortal Mystic Ice, the visions on the bed were nowhere near as exaggerated as the ones now manifesting on the bed Wyatt sat upon.

After cultivating for about an hour, Wyatt stopped and did not continue.

"Senior Chaos Divine Flame, how do I use this Astral Sand?"

After stopping his cultivation and opening his eyes, Wyatt raised his hand and took out the box containing Astral Sand, timely asking the Chaos Divine Flame.

"Take out your divine sword, then use me to burn it... afterward, I’ll guide that wisp of Sword Spirit within your spiritual sea to merge into the divine sword. At that time, scatter the Astral Sand onto the flame, and I’ll accelerate her fusion with your divine sword."

The Chaos Divine Flame quickly responded, but its voice was still listless, carrying a rather exhausted, powerless feeling.

"Alright!"

Wyatt answered, then followed the Chaos Divine Flame’s instructions, taking his Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword out from within his body and suspending it in the air before him.

Chi!

In the next instant, he lifted his right hand; with a thought, gray flames ignited in his palm and began burning the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword.

However, as the gray flames slapped onto the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword, they did not cause any change to the sword.

Wyatt was not surprised by this.

After all, the strength of the gray flames in his hand right now was only slightly stronger than ordinary top-grade Immortal Flames, still inferior to Monarch Grade Immortal Flames.

If flames at this level could burn the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword into showing some result, then he would have to question whether the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword was really a divine artifact.

"Girl Leilany, the process that follows might be difficult for you to endure... but as long as you grit your teeth through it, your fusion with this divine sword will, taking advantage of this chance, complete at least more than half!"

The Chaos Divine Flame’s voice sounded from within Wyatt’s body, clearly speaking to the divine artifact spirit ’Leilany’ in Wyatt’s spiritual sea.

"I could even endure the pain of a Sword Spirit leaving its original body—why would I fear this bit of pain?"

Leilany’s voice was still icy-cold, yet it was suffused with a fearless, charging-forward momentum, a heroine yielding no ground to men!

While Wyatt, according to Elder Fire’s words, used Astral Sand to accelerate the fusion between Leilany and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword...

The third disciple under Liam Davidson, Sect Leader of the Cloudless Immortal Sect, ’Bradley Clark’, had, after registering a group of peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals, brought them back to the valley where the personal disciples and Inner Sect disciples cultivated.

"That’s Senior Brother Bradley Clark!"

"The group behind Senior Brother Bradley Clark all seem to be peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals!"

"They should be the people that Vice Sect Leader Sir brought back this time from Cloud Mist Lake... these peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals are all elite at the Upper Immortal level, and once they enter the sect, they directly become Inner Sect disciples."

"Hmph! Even though their starting point is high after entering the sect, if their talent is too poor, they’ll still be kicked out of the Inner Sect in the end."

...

Bradley Clark’s return with his group immediately drew the attention of many Inner Sect disciples, and the people behind Bradley Clark drew even more of their gaze.

"Senior Brother Clark!"

An Inner Sect disciple stepped into the air and in the blink of an eye appeared before Bradley Clark, looking very familiar with him. "Sect Leader just came by."

"Master?"

Bradley Clark frowned slightly. "He was alone?"

"No... he brought someone with him, a purple-clothed young man. And I heard that he even sent that person into the vacant cultivation courtyard for a personal disciple."

The Inner Sect disciple who had come over continued.

"Mm, I understand."

Bradley Clark nodded. Although a blaze of anger rose in the depths of his heart at that moment, he also knew that his master’s decisions were not something he could change.

In fact, with just a single word from his master, he could be expelled from the master’s tutelage, expelled from the Cloudless Immortal Sect!

"Senior Brother Clark, that person snatched the personal disciple spot ahead of you... if not for him, that personal disciple spot would have been yours eight or nine times out of ten."

Seeing Bradley Clark’s calm expression, this Inner Sect disciple was a bit dumbfounded. At a time like this, shouldn’t this senior brother be extremely furious?

In the past, he knew very well that this senior brother was determined to obtain that personal disciple spot.

"Felix Williams, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want... even without him, that personal disciple spot wouldn’t necessarily have been mine."

Bradley Clark swept a calm glance over the Inner Sect disciple before him and said evenly, "Besides, Wyatt Barnes’s natural talent and comprehension are outstanding; he is fully qualified to become a personal disciple of our Cloudless Immortal Sect."

"If you’re feeling unconvinced... are you thinking the Sect Leader lacks judgment?"

As he spoke, a cold gleam flashed in Bradley Clark’s eyes right on cue, frightening Felix Williams so much his expression kept changing and he couldn’t even get a word out.

"I’ll leave them to you... arrange their quarters. Any empty places, just assign them as you like."

Handing the group behind him over to Felix Williams, Bradley Clark then left.

Only after Bradley Clark’s figure completely vanished from sight did Felix Williams look at the group of peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals who had come along with him. "All of you, come with me."

The group of peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals followed behind Felix Williams, each of them feeling a bit stifled inside.

They had entered the Bao Pu Immortal Sect together with Wyatt Barnes. Wyatt had been personally received by the Sect Leader of Bao Pu Immortal Sect, while they had only been greeted by the Sect Leader’s personal disciple at first, and now they’d been casually tossed to an ordinary Inner Sect disciple.

"Do you all know that purple-clothed young man?"

Felix Williams turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the group of peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals as he asked.

And with that question, he immediately drew out quite a lot of information, letting many Inner Sect disciples present learn just what kind of monstrous genius their Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s new core disciple was:

Not yet a hundred years old.

A peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal.

He had comprehended two Profound Meanings of the earth-attribute Law Rule.

Ranked second on the lower-realm points ranking of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

...

While Felix Williams was arranging quarters for the group of peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals, the gazes of the Inner Sect disciples present all swept in unison toward one of the floating islands above the valley.

That floating island was precisely the one where the small courtyard that Wyatt Barnes was currently staying in was located.

"That purple-clothed young man is actually such a monstrous genius?"

"Not even a hundred, yet already this terrifying... once he fully grows up, how horrifying will he be?"

"No wonder the Sect Leader treats him like that. With his talent and comprehension, as long as he doesn’t die halfway, once he matures, Mystic Abyss Mansion won’t be able to contain him at all! His stage should be South Heaven’s Borderlands, or even a vaster stage!"

"A person like that, becoming our Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s core disciple, is more than qualified."

...

The group of Inner Sect disciples who had originally been unconvinced about Wyatt Barnes becoming the core disciple of their Bao Pu Immortal Sect, after learning of Wyatt’s strength and that he was under a hundred years old, were inwardly convinced as well.

"I’d thought that core disciple position would end up in the hands of one of us three—me, Bradley Clark, or Ruby King... never expected someone like this to cut in halfway."

An Inner Sect disciple who had just returned from outside stood in midair. Hearing the hushed discussions of many Inner Sect disciples around him, he couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly with a sigh.

As this Inner Sect disciple sighed, many Inner Sect disciples who saw him all greeted him respectfully and warmly:

"Senior Brother Ben Evans!"

"Senior Brother Ben Evans!"

...

The reason these Inner Sect disciples were so enthusiastic was entirely because this Inner Sect disciple named "Ben Evans" was one of the three most outstanding among the Inner Sect disciples.

Of the other two, one was Bradley Clark, the Third Brother disciple of their Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader; the other was Ruby King, the beloved granddaughter of their Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder.

Among the three, Bradley Clark and Ruby King both had powerful backing within Bao Pu Immortal Sect. Only Ben Evans did not.

Precisely because of that, compared to Bradley Clark and Ruby King, the Inner Sect disciples of Bao Pu Immortal Sect were more convinced by Ben Evans.

"Mm."

"Mm."

...

Facing the Inner Sect disciples greeting him, Ben Evans responded one by one with a smile and a nod. His friendly, approachable demeanor made others feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

At the same time.

Within Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s territory, in a tranquil little valley.

"Bradley Clark, you’ve come to find me... is it because of that Wyatt Barnes?"

A young woman in a red dress, her figure full of alluring curves and her face exquisitely beautiful, stood leisurely before the waterfall in the little valley, her expression calm as she looked at the young man before her.

"Ruby King, before, we could still compete for that core disciple position... but now that Wyatt Barnes has come, he directly seized that core disciple spot."

The young man was precisely Bradley Clark, who had just left the valley where the core disciple and Inner Sect disciples were cultivating.

"Are you willing to accept that?"

Bradley Clark asked in a low voice.

"And what if I’m not willing? That was your master’s decision. Even my grandfather, that old man, has no way to interfere."

Ruby King gave Bradley Clark a deep look and replied with a smile, maintaining a "doesn’t matter to me" demeanor from beginning to end.

"Ruby King, don’t put on an act in front of me... with people who aren’t familiar with you, seeing you like this, they might really think you don’t care."

Bradley Clark let out a cold laugh. "But I know that, when it comes to this matter... you’re more unwilling than anyone!"
