Chapter 1508: Chapter 1508: He Can’t Possibly Still Be Alive!
The annihilation of the Howard Family only surprised Wyatt Barnes a little, and he quickly put it out of his mind.
However, the event that followed greatly dampened his mood.
"That Holden Yellow disappeared after abandoning his post?"
The event Wyatt most wished to avoid had nonetheless co to pass.
That Outer Elder Holden Yellow from the Moon Radiance Sect, who had once attempted to kill him, chose to leave the sect after his failed attempt.
"He must have been worried that I would return to the Moon Radiance Sect and ntion to Senior Brother Baillie that he tried to take my life."
Wyatt was almost certain of this.
Although Holden Yellow was only an Outer Elder, if Wyatt’s senior brother Trevor Baillie wanted him dead, he could easily end his life without lifting a finger.
After Wyatt returned to the Moon Radiance Sect, the days were far from peaceful—at least not in his imdiate surroundings.
This was all because, after the news of the Howard Family’s extinction ca out, the revelation that Wyatt had broken through to the Entering the Saint Realm spread like wildfire. The news pervaded the entire Moon Radiance Sect and left everyone there astounded.
"Oh my god! Soone please tell
this is fake news!"
Many Inner Sect disciples wailed in despair.
These disciples were the sa ones who had witnessed Wyatt defeat Center Montes and had inspected his cultivation during the process.
They were all certain that when Wyatt defeated Center Montes, he was only a Martial Artist at the level of Small Perfection in the Transcending Mortal Realm.
Yet now, in such a short ti, Wyatt had already broken through to the Entering the Saint Realm?
"Could it be that Elder Baillie gave him so sort of Spirit Pill or heavenly treasure?"
"I’ve honestly never heard of any Spirit Pill or heavenly treasure that could make soone break through from Transcending Mortal Realm’s Small Perfection to Entering the Saint Realm in just a few short months!"
"Is Wyatt Barnes even human? Why do I feel like he’s an incarnation of so celestial god?"
"Don’t exaggerate too much... Maybe he had so sort of unexpected opportunity."
...
Regardless of speculation, the news of Wyatt’s breakthrough to Entering the Saint Realm was undeniable fact.
When Wyatt demonstrated his Entering the Saint Realm abilities, not only were many Inner Sect disciples from the Moon Radiance Sect present, but mbers from the other eight sects also witnessed it. Thus, there was no possibility of fabrication.
For a ti, the entire Moon Radiance Sect was in an uproar because of Wyatt Barnes.
If the Moon Radiance Sect had been a pond of "stagnant water" before Wyatt’s arrival, now Wyatt had certainly stirred it, bringing it alive.
"Junior Brother, you... broke through to Entering the Saint Realm?"
Trevor Baillie, upon hearing the news for the first ti, was completely dumbfounded.
Although the rumors stated that Wyatt’s rapid improvent was due to Trevor’s assistance, Trevor himself knew the truth—it was far from his doing.
He didn’t have that kind of capability.
"Yes."
Wyatt nodded with a smile in response to Trevor’s inquiry.
For a long mont, Trevor wore a complicated expression, bitterly smiling before saying, "I had thought your talent in Saint Markings was already astonishing, but I never imagined your Martial Dao talent to be equally monstrous. No! This isn’t monstrous—it should be called ’defying the heavens’!"
To break through from Transcending Mortal Realm’s Small Perfection to Entering the Saint Realm in just a few months—such progression was truly heaven-defying!
Only Wyatt knew that it hadn’t been just a matter of a few months for him to achieve such dramatic progress.
Though Wyatt’s talent was indeed exceptional, the true decisive factor was the Jewel Tower.
The extrely slow flow of ti within the Jewel Tower had provided Wyatt with a training environnt that others couldn’t even dream of, allowing him to catch up to others at record speed and even surpass them.
"Junior Brother, having reached Entering the Saint Realm now, can you already carve two-star Saint Markings?"
Trevor asked.
"Yes."
Wyatt nodded once more, recounting how upon his return he had tried carving two-star Saint Markings. After failing a few tis, he had eventually succeeded.
"Can you use the inscription thod to carve them?"
Trevor’s eyes lit up as he asked.
"After my return, I have only deduced how to use the inscription thod to carve two-star Saint Markings, but I haven’t actually practiced or attempted it yet."
Wyatt answered.
"May I have the honor of observing?"
Trevor asked with a smile.
"Of course."
Wyatt agreed without hesitation and began attempting to carve a two-star Saint Marking using the inscription thod in Trevor’s presence.
The inscription thod required less than half the materials needed for traditional carving thods.
After several trials, Wyatt finally succeeded in carving a two-star Saint Marking using the inscription thod.
The materials consud were less than half of what traditional carving required, saving a significant amount of cost.
"Junior Brother Wyatt, you truly are a genius in the field of Saint Markings!"
Trevor couldn’t help but exclaim as he watched Wyatt quickly succeed with the inscription thod.
"I was initially thinking about how to persuade you to focus solely on the Saint Marking path... but now it seems that’s unnecessary. Whether in Martial Dao or Saint Markings, your achievents are beyond ordinary people’s reach."
"Ordinary people might struggle to excel in both Martial Dao and Saint Markings, but for you, that doesn’t apply."
Trevor’s words carried unwavering confidence in Wyatt—almost blind confidence.
"Senior Brother, I plan to register for the Inner Sect disciple assessnt. When will that start?"
Wyatt asked.
"Junior Brother, with your current strength, participating in the Inner Sect disciple assessnt is aningless... I’ll have soone handle the process and issue an Inner Sect disciple identity token for you."
Trevor replied.
Wyatt considered for a mont and agreed—it was indeed unnecessary.
With his current strength, even soone at the later stages of Entering the Saint Realm posed little threat to him.
Thus, he didn’t reject Trevor’s kind intentions.
"Junior Brother, I recall you promising
that once you entered the Inner Sect, you’d live at my place."
Trevor squinted and said teasingly.
"Of course, I rember."
Wyatt said with a smile, "If Senior Brother doesn’t mind, then from now on, I’ll stay here."
"Haha... Excellent! I’ve had a room prepared for you long ago and ensured it’s cleaned regularly. You can move in directly."
Trevor laughed heartily, clearly pleased by Wyatt’s agreent.
Wyatt felt a wave of warmth and gratitude in his heart upon hearing Trevor’s words.
"By the way, was your trip to Thas River City smooth?"
Trevor asked.
He was completely unaware of what had happened to Wyatt on the way to Thas River City or during his stay there, as he hadn’t had the chance to ask about it before.
In fact, he hadn’t even known that Wyatt had left the Moon Radiance Sect.
However, Trevor didn’t hold it against Wyatt, understanding that Wyatt had done so to avoid inconveniencing or worrying him.
Wyatt had long regarded Trevor as his "brother," even though there was a notable age gap between the two.
Thus, Wyatt didn’t hold anything back and shared everything with Trevor.
Of course, he glossed over the dangerous parts with a casual tone.
Even then, Wyatt’s recounting left Trevor shocked and alard.
"Holden Yellow—a re Outer Elder dared to covet and attempt to kill you... He truly deserves death! Junior Brother, rest assured, I will mobilize my connections to locate Holden Yellow and bring him before you to deal with as you see fit!"
Trevor was enraged, truly enraged.
Initially, Trevor’s respect for Wyatt arose from Wyatt’s ability to inherit the inscription thod, which had led to his recognition of Wyatt as a "Junior Brother."
Now, Trevor had genuinely co to see Wyatt as his younger brother.
It wasn’t just about Wyatt inheriting the inscription thod—Trevor truly admired Wyatt’s personality and felt a strong connection with him.
When he was with Wyatt, Trevor even felt like he had found a "kindred spirit" despite the age gap.
Learning about Holden Yellow’s attempt on Wyatt’s life, Trevor could not suppress his fury.
"Senior Brother, stay calm. For , Holden Yellow is no threat."
Wyatt said confidently, with a faint smile on his face.
And he truly ant it.
While Wyatt’s current strength might not yet allow him to directly confront Holden Yellow, with just a little more ti, he was confident he could completely surpass his adversary in every respect.
The training environnt provided by the Jewel Tower’s third layer far surpassed that of the second layer, giving Wyatt an unparalleled advantage in further elevating his abilities.
"As for the man in black robes, if I’m guessing correctly, he was a Shadow Mountain Black Market killer."
Soon after, Trevor’s expression turned serious as he continued, "You were fortunate to encounter a benefactor; otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Wyatt had indeed ntioned the black-robed assassin.
However, Wyatt left out the part about the Demon Sealing Monunt, instead attributing the rescue to a passing expert who couldn’t stand by and watch. The alleged expert subdued the black-robed man with ease.
"Indeed, I was lucky to et that benefactor... Unfortunately, when I tried to ask for their na and origin, they didn’t respond and simply left."
Wyatt lanted, sounding as though it had indeed happened that way.
Of course, Trevor didn’t doubt Wyatt’s words and nodded as he said, "That benefactor... must either be an eminent recluse residing in our Nine Sect Alliance area, rarely erging, or soone from a major force—one at least on par with our Moon Radiance Sect."
"From your description, the black-robed assassin likely was a ’Three-Star Killer’ from the Shadow Mountain Black Market... And for that benefactor to subdue them so casually, they are definitely not a re Saint Realm expert."
Trevor finished speaking with deep gratitude in his eyes, feeling profound appreciation for the mysterious benefactor.
In the Inner Sect region, within a spacious mansion, Evander Mullins, who had learned of Wyatt Barnes not only safely returning but also breaking through to the Entering the Saint Realm, was livid. His face was dark, and he couldn’t muster a single word for a long ti.
"Impossible! Impossible! There’s no way he’s still alive!"
Evander Mullins took a deep breath and muttered in disbelief as his face twisted in shock.
