Chapter 1358: Chapter 1358: One Year Later
"No, that’s not right!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wyatt Barnes, and he couldn’t help but ask the Jewel Tower: "Elder Fire, didn’t you say... that the Jewel Tower, as a top-tier celestial treasure, possesses an extrely terrifying weight?"
"If I hide inside it and it shrinks and conceals itself, shouldn’t it be able to avoid being flipped over? That way, I wouldn’t be blasted out."
During the flashes of thunder and lightning, this idea ca to Wyatt.
"Before the fourth floor of the Jewel Tower is repaired, even a gust of wind can cause instability in the space inside."
Upon hearing Wyatt’s question, Elder Fire explained: "Apart from , any living thing, at that ti, will be blasted away... You, the master, are no exception."
Having heard Elder Fire’s response, Wyatt Barnes’s previously brightened thoughts dimd once again.
He knew he was thinking too much.
"I don’t even know where this place is... Right now, Julia must still be searching for
everywhere."
Wyatt rose into the air, leaving the small island beneath his feet, standing on nothingness, and continually surveyed his surroundings.
All he saw was the vast sea, and he could not find any sense of direction.
"At this ti, if only I had a ’compass’ like the ones from Earth in my previous life... No, even if the sun here was the sa as on Earth, I would be able to recognize the direction."
"The problem is... There isn’t just one sun here. This season, there are two other suns rising from different directions."
Wyatt sighed and asked Elder Fire, who also had no solution.
For a ti, all he could do was to explore around by himself.
"Let’s go in this direction."
Choosing a direction, Wyatt flew quickly... Yet, after traveling at full speed for a month, he still didn’t see any land, not even a slightly larger island.
Not only that, but he encountered many ferocious Savage Beasts along the way, and he narrowly escaped losing his life several tis.
Now, as Wyatt swept through the sky above the sea, he dared not get too close to the surface, fearing it would bring fatal danger... This feeling was incredibly frustrating for Wyatt.
"With my strength, I am considered top-notch on the Cloud Skies Continent and even the Holy Island overseas... Yet here, I am average at best. If there are no accidents, this place should be close to the Martial Dao Sacred Land."
Wyatt took a deep breath and speculated in secret.
"Moreover, the gravity here is clearly much heavier than that of the Cloud Skies Continent or the Holy Island overseas... According to what Julia has said, the gravity of the Martial Dao Sacred Land cannot be compared to that of the Cloud Skies Continent or the Holy Island overseas."
"Just like now... I can only fly this high. If it were on the Cloud Skies Continent or the Holy Island overseas, I could fly twice as high."
Shaking his head, Wyatt continued to fly forward.
He was already lost, with no sense of direction. All he could do was to keep traveling and traveling.
"There’s an island ahead!"
After another half a month, Wyatt’s eyes brightened because he saw an island, a solitary small island in the vast sea.
After observing his surroundings for a while and ensuring safety, Wyatt stepped into the air and landed on the small island.
The island was desolate, with no signs of any life.
"I might as well cultivate to the Transcending Mortal Realm here before leaving... Otherwise, with my current strength, I am very likely to perish in this boundless sea domain," Wyatt thought to himself.
If he truly died in this boundless sea domain, without even reaching the Martial Dao Sacred Land, that would indeed be a huge joke.
Finding a secluded spot, Wyatt personally created a cave and began his cultivation within.
The cave was tranquil, free from windy and rainy disturbances; it was just a bit dark.
Soon, the cave was illuminated by the ’Night Pearl’ brought out by Wyatt, bright as daylight... At the sa ti, Wyatt took out the Jewel Tower.
The tiny Jewel Tower was placed in a corner of the cave, and with a thought, Wyatt entered the first floor of the Jewel Tower.
"Elder Fire."
Upon entering, he saw Elder Fire nearby, ditating with his eyes closed, and he greeted him.
"Mm."
Upon hearing the greeting, Elder Fire opened his eyes and nodded.
"Elder Fire... Why don’t you go to the second floor? Isn’t the cultivation environnt better there?" Wyatt asked in confusion.
"I’ve always stayed on the first floor; I’m used to it," said Elder Fire.
The Jewel Tower contains seven treasures... Each treasure occupies one floor.
This first floor was its territory.
Wyatt nodded, and without saying more, went up to the second floor of the Jewel Tower... As soon as he reached the second floor, Wyatt found a courtyard with a pond, and a new cabin added to it.
Without having to think, he could guess it was built by Elder Fire.
With a slight smile, Wyatt walked into the cabin, sat down on the bed, and began to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign, Divine Dragon Transformation!
In an instant, the vast Origin Force within Wyatt’s body circulated around the final transformation of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign, ’Divine Dragon Transformation,’ in accordance with its technique... Besides that, he also tried to integrate the fusion of profound anings into it.
According to what Julia said, this could lead to a breakthrough to the Transcending Mortal Realm.
Ti quietly passed, and Wyatt, completely engrossed in cultivation, lost all track of ti...
Still, he soon beca sowhat irritable.
Because he found that, up until now, there was still no sign of a breakthrough to the Transcending Mortal Realm... The Origin Force within him still rejected the fusion of profound anings.
Of course, the repulsion he once felt was no longer there.
Upon opening his eyes and awakening from his cultivation, Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, "Regardless, compared to before, I’ve finally made so progress."
At this mont, Wyatt also cald down.
He continued to cultivate.
Ti flies by swiftly, like a steed galloping past a gap.
A year’s ti quickly passed... of course, the year ntioned refers to the ti outside, not the ti spent on the second floor of the Jewel Tower.
Three whole years had already gone by on the second floor of the Jewel Tower.
After a year, serenity reigned over Crescent Island.
In the center of Crescent Island, within the vast estate of Heaven Fortin Sect, sat two beautiful won in front of a stone table in the courtyard of a spacious mansion.
"Keer, what kind of a strange child are we carrying... It’s been a year, and the bump has only risen this little."
One of the won, exuding an enchanting charm from head to toe, said to the other woman, who appeared delicate and lovely like a small jade. She gently caressed her abdon.
At a glance, it wasn’t apparent that she was pregnant.
"Young Master must already know that we’re not due anyti soon... Otherwise, he would definitely have returned."
The delicate and lovely woman also touched her abdon, saying with a smile.
"That should be the case. I wish he didn’t know about this... That way, we could see him sooner. It’s been a whole year since he left, and I really miss him."
The enchanting woman was none other than one of Wyatt’s fiancées, Jovie Lee.
The other woman, with an identity also revealing itself, was ’Keer’.
"Sister Keer, Sister Jovie."
A sweet-sounding voice like that of an oriole ca through, and in a blink of an eye, a white figure appeared before the two won—it was a little girl clothed in white, looking as delicate as carved jade.
"Little White, why didn’t you go and play with Little Gold and Little Black?"
Seeing the little girl, Jovie asked with a smile.
"They are not fun at all... I prefer chatting with you two sisters and spending ti with my two little nephews."
The girl in white was ’Little White,’ the white serpent from days past.
"Little White, you always look like this... Later when your two little nephews are born and grow up, they might not want to call you ’Aunt’."
Keer teased Little White, looking her up and down.
"It’s okay, once I take a step further and break through to the Transcending Mortal Realm, I can transform again... When that ti cos, I want to beco a beauty just like Sister Keer and Sister Jovie."
Little White said nonchalantly.
"Speaking of ’Transcending Mortal Realm’... is it really that hard?"
Jovie inquired.
"Very hard."
Little White nodded, "Even in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, reaching the Transcending Mortal Realm is a hurdle... If I want to break through, at the earliest, it will still take
another year or two."
"However, I’m not in a hurry... If possible, I’d rather spend another ten or eight years before breaking through. That way, my foundation will be more solid, and once I reach the Transcending Mortal Realm, I can open up more Saint Veins."
Little White stated.
"The distance to that step for us is still a long way off..."
Jovie sighed.
"Little White, when do you think... our children with Young Master will be born?"
Keer asked.
"Sister Keer, you and Sister Jovie beca pregnant after you had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm... At that ti, Brother was already a peak existence in the Martial Emperor Realm."
After pondering for a while, Little White said, "The children conceived by your union... If not considering premature birth, will be born in no less than three years, and no more than five years."
"I just hope that scoundrel will make it back in ti."
Jovie spoke softly, her extraordinarily enchanting and pretty face showing a touch of longing.
"Young Master will definitely make it back."
Keer stated affirmatively, with unconditional faith that Wyatt would return before the birth of her child, to be by her side and welco the arrival of new life.
Caressing her slightly bulging abdon, Keer’s face was filled with a blissful smile.
North of Crescent Island, within the vast expanse of the sea.
Three figures converged from three different directions, eting up quickly.
"Still no sign of him?"
The young girl dressed in yellow, weary from the road and with little childishness left in her appearance, did not look very well.
"Miss, it’s been a year... If he could be found, we would have found him by now."
One of the two tall middle-aged n sighed.
"Yes, Miss."
The other middle-aged man nodded in agreent, looking at the girl in yellow with so apprehension.
"Brother Wyatt must still be alive... He must be!"
The girl in yellow was ’Karina Hanson’.
Ever since Wyatt disappeared a year ago, she, along with her entourage, had been searching extensively for Wyatt’s whereabouts... Yet, a year had passed, and Wyatt’s whereabouts remained unknown.
