Chapter 1910: Chapter 1910: Black Tortoise Altar
The people with green spirit roots followed Maximus Lee and left.
Including ’Wyatt Barnes,’ a group of people with yellow spirit roots remained, with another Elder Silver Fla of the Black Tortoise Altar, ’Charles Thorn,’ along with four other Copper Fla elders responsible for their strength assessnt.
After Maximus Lee left with his group, Charles Thorn glanced at Wyatt Barnes inadvertently, his eyes showing a hint of disappointnt.
He never imagined the outco would be like this!
This young person he had a good impression of from the start turned out to have only ’yellow spirit roots’... Could this young man really be like everyone said, an old person who defied age?
He was still sowhat unwilling to believe it.
However, even if he was reluctant to believe, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn’t deny them!
After testing with the Spirit Pearl, this young man, whom his Divine Sense probed and found to be under forty years old, indeed possessed only ’yellow spirit roots.’
For soone with yellow spirit roots to have cultivation above the peak of the Human Saint Realm before forty is nearly impossible!
Therefore, in the depths of his heart, he actually believed Wyatt Barnes hid his true age.
"Wyatt Barnes, regardless of whether you can pass the upcoming strength assessnt, I don’t recomnd you stay in the Black Tortoise Altar... If you want to leave, I will find two friends to escort you away. Even Elder Maximus Lee, caught off guard, won’t have ti to find helpers and will only watch us take you away."
Wyatt Barnes’s ears suddenly heard a heavy voice through a sound transmission.
He recognized it as the voice of Elder Silver Fla ’Charles Thorn’ from the Black Tortoise Altar.
"Elder Charles Thorn?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Charles Thorn in surprise.
He never thought Charles Thorn would still be willing to help him at this ti, even at the risk of offending Maximus Lee!
This moved him greatly.
At least, Charles Thorn did not look down on him due to his spirit roots being just yellow, and at such a crucial mont, he was willing to give him a hand.
Such actions are truly valuable!
"I hope he will leave... this is all I can do to help him."
While transmitting his voice to Wyatt Barnes, Charles Thorn thought to himself.
The reason for still wanting to help Wyatt Barnes at this ti is partly because he feels Wyatt Barnes suits his taste, and he doesn’t want to see Wyatt Barnes play with fire and get burned; partly because Wyatt Barnes was injured by Maximus Lee in his presence yesterday, and he continues to feel guilty about it.
In his view, if Wyatt Barnes chooses to leave, it’s a win-win situation.
But if he doesn’t leave, there’s nothing he can do.
If Wyatt Barnes decides to stay in the Black Tortoise Altar, even if he wants to help, he’s powerless.
In the Black Tortoise Altar, his individual strength, influence, and appeal are all far inferior to Maximus Lee’s, and even if Wyatt Barnes faces Maximus Lee’s retaliation, he can’t help much.
At first, he thought Wyatt Barnes’s spirit roots were either ’green’ or ’blue’.
If Wyatt Barnes’s spirit roots were ’blue’, then when the Fire Worship Sect Leader erges, there’s a high possibility he would take Wyatt Barnes as his personal disciple.
Once Wyatt Barnes becos a personal disciple of the Fire Worship Sect Leader, Maximus Lee wouldn’t be able to touch him.
Even if Wyatt Barnes’s spirit roots were not ’blue’ but ’green’, he could still recomnd Wyatt Barnes to the Black Tortoise Altar Lord; he believed the Black Tortoise Altar Lord would be willing to take such a talented individual as a personal disciple.
Once Wyatt Barnes becos a personal disciple of the Black Tortoise Altar Lord, Maximus Lee would also be unable to touch him.
Contrary to his expectations:
Wyatt Barnes’s spirit roots not only were not blue nor green, nor even green!
Just ’yellow spirit roots’!
Yellow spirit roots are also the most common ones in the Fire Worship Sect, among a hundred ordinary disciples of the Fire Worship Sect, at least ninety have yellow spirit roots...
Hence, it’s clear how common and unremarkable ’yellow spirit roots’ are in the Fire Worship Sect, even negligible!
"Thank you, Elder Charles Thorn."
Upon hearing Charles Thorn’s transmission, Wyatt Barnes imdiately transmitted his gratitude, paused, and then continued, "But, I don’t plan to leave the Black Tortoise Altar for now... As for the upcoming strength assessnt, I will definitely pass it! Also, please rest assured, Elder Charles Thorn, since I dared to kill his best friend’s son in front of Maximus Lee, I’ve already prepared to face all consequences."
"Elder Charles Thorn stepping forward to help
at this ti... this favor will always be rembered by , Wyatt Barnes!"
Wyatt Barnes’s words were resolute, leaving Charles Thorn speechless, not knowing what else to say.
"Fine... since it’s your choice, so be it."
After a while, Charles Thorn responded to Wyatt Barnes, sighing amidst a weary tone.
Imdiately, Charles Thorn focused on the ’strength assessnt’ against Wyatt Barnes and the others, hosting the upcoming strength assessnt alongside the other four Copper Fla elders.
Regarding the strength assessnt for Wyatt Barnes and the others, as long as those in ’Earth Saint Realm’ and above treat it seriously, the passing rate can almost reach 100%!
Therefore, the specific assessnt content was not worth ntioning.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wyatt Barnes passed the assessnt effortlessly without surprise.
Of course, in the eyes of everyone, although Wyatt Barnes passed the assessnt, he seed to show so difficulty in the process.
"Earth Saint Realm, early stage?"
"Barely passing the assessnt like that... he should be in the Earth Saint Realm, early stage!"
"Do you think he’s deliberately hiding his strength again, and perhaps his real strength is more than just the early stage of the Earth Saint Realm?"
"You’re overthinking it, aren’t you? At this point, everything about him has been exposed, do you think there’s still a need for him to hide his strength? Na??ve!"
...
Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes pass the strength assessnt, the crowd he participated with began to whisper among themselves.
In the end, they almost confird Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation level:
Earth Saint Realm, early stage!
If Wyatt Barnes is truly a young man under forty with such cultivation, it would absolutely cause a sensation.
However, due to their preconceived notions, they thought Wyatt Barnes was a few hundred years old.
So, for Wyatt Barnes to now showcase his ’Earth Saint Realm, early stage’ cultivation, they weren’t surprised at all, just felt it was perfectly normal.
Hearing these whispers, Wyatt Barnes remained calm.
His real cultivation level was much lower than what they guessed, only at the ’Human Saint Realm, early stage’.
As for appearing to struggle through the strength assessnt just now, it was because he didn’t use any other force except for the ’Sun Holy Power’...
His internal Holy Power, though only at the Human Saint Realm, early stage level, was not inferior to the early stage Earth Saint Realm Holy Power because it was fused with the Sun’s fire!
Since he had just broken through to the Human Saint Realm, early stage this morning, and wasn’t familiar enough with utilizing the new power, Holy Power, it made him appear to struggle during the strength assessnt.
Listening to the whispers around him, Wyatt Barnes gave a faint smile, not caring at all.
Why should he, Wyatt Barnes, care about the views of others?
"Those who did not pass the strength assessnt, follow these two Elder Bronze Flas to leave... Those who passed, follow the other two Elder Bronze Flas to your quarters, they will explain to you the matters regarding new disciples on the way."
At the sa ti, the voice of Charles Thorn rang out, as if directing the course of action.
After speaking, Charles Thorn glanced at Wyatt Barnes, sighed, and then left.
Since Wyatt Barnes had already made his choice, he couldn’t really help any further.
The path from here on out had to be walked by Wyatt Barnes himself.
He wanted to help, but couldn’t.
After Charles Thorn left, the group that failed the strength assessnt followed the two Elder Bronze Flas away in dejection.
The other two Elder Bronze Flas gestured to the group who passed, including Wyatt Barnes, to follow them into the depths of the mountain range.
On the way, the two Elder Bronze Flas distributed the special attire for ’Black Tortoise Altar disciples’ to Wyatt Barnes and the others.
The exclusive attire for Black Tortoise Altar disciples was also a white robe, embroidered with a ’Black Tortoise’ pattern ford by flas, but the flas were light gray, subtly complenting the white, making it very unobtrusive.
However, one could still discern the pattern embroidered in light gray on the white robe at a glance.
"That area over there is where our Black Tortoise Altar Lord and the five Elder Silver Flas cultivate, and entry is forbidden unless permitted by the Altar Lord and Elder Silver Flas... any trespassers will live or die regardless!"
After distributing the exclusive attire for Black Tortoise Altar disciples, one of the Elder Bronze Flas looked east, reminding with a solemn expression.
The latter part of his speech filled with a chilling air of killing intent, making people’s hair stand on end.
Wyatt Barnes gazed eastward, seeing only thick fog that obscured any view behind it, clearly set up to block sight with formations.
"Ahead is where our Black Tortoise Altar’s ’Altar’ is located... our Black Tortoise Altar’s high-level defensive Divine Ability, ’Black Tortoise Shield’, is recorded on the Black Tortoise statue at the altar’s center for all Black Tortoise Altar disciples to comprehend."
The other Elder Bronze Fla added.
Soon, Wyatt Barnes and the others shifted their gaze from the east to what lay ahead.
Within the forest, a vast clearing appeared before their eyes.
Around the clearing stood large palaces, majestic in aura, like mighty beasts lying there, exuding an imposing atmosphere, stirring the soul.
And in the center of these palaces stood a vast altar.
The altar was about ten ters high, with an enormous Black Tortoise statue resting atop it, looking like an ancient giant beast from afar, emanating a tiless and ancient aura.
"So many people!"
At the sa ti, Wyatt Barnes and the others noticed in surprise that around the Black Tortoise statue, nurous figures were fixed in mid-air.
Judging by their attire, they were all obviously ’Black Tortoise Altar disciples’!
Hundreds were scattered around the Black Tortoise statue, either standing or sitting mid-air...
