Chapter 2623: Immortal Flame
Chapter 2623: Immortal Flame
On the vast arena, a tall, handsome young man stood there, clad in black armor that enhanced his heroic presence, exuding an awe-inspiring aura like a God of War.
Judging by his attire, he was unmistakably part of the Black Dragon Army.
"Unexpected, truly unexpected..."
Looking at the silver-armored youth on the arena, the Black Dragon Army Commander "Makai Holland" shook his head and sighed, evidently taken by surprise:
The last person standing on the arena turned out to be him.
"I originally thought that if someone from our Black Dragon Army were to remain until the end, it would definitely be Commander East Dunn... Yet unexpectedly, it was ’Commander Ares Cooper’!"
A group of Black Dragon Army individuals, looking at the silver-armored youth on the arena, had eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Half a year ago, this very Ares was merely a Centurion, only becoming the new Commander after successfully challenging one.
To the Black Dragon Army:
Today, they believed that if anyone from their ranks were to remain until the end, it would certainly be Commander East Dunn.
No one anticipated that the last person standing would be this Commander Ares.
Furthermore, through the recent ’melee’, they saw clearly:
Ares standing last involved no luck; it was purely his formidable strength that allowed him to eliminate others so smoothly...
"Commander Holland, your Black Dragon Army keeps secrets well... First, Lord Wyatt Barnes, and now ’Ares Cooper’."
The Army of Silver Sea Dragon Commander "Eren Maxwell" stared coldly at Makai Holland, sneering.
"Thank you for your praise, Commander Maxwell."
Makai Holland glanced at Eren Maxwell, responding with a smile, appearing magnanimous, forming a stark contrast to Eren Maxwell’s sneering face.
"Ares, prepare well over the next month, and handle the matters at hand... A month later, come to the City Lord’s Mansion and leave Bloodshade City with the special envoy from Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion for the County City."
The City Lord of Bloodshade City "Manuel Willow" also looked at Ares with some surprise, evidently not expecting:
The one standing until the end today would be this ’Commander Ares’ who had just become Black Dragon Army Commander six months ago.
The strength Ares displayed earlier was witnessed, indeed surpassing the other nine people.
Ares standing last and earning the place to go to Nine Nether County’s County City a month later was well-deserved.
"Unexpectedly, the person accompanying me to Nine Nether County in a month is him..."
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, a purple-clothed figure, ’Lord Wyatt Barnes’, stood there, watching Ares on the arena, his eyes involuntarily squinted slightly, murmuring in surprise.
Ares only became a Commander after Wyatt joined the Black Dragon Army.
In fact, Ares didn’t even fight; the one he challenged, the former Black Dragon Army Commander "Hector Simplicity", conceded directly.
And Hector Simplicity conceded for a reason tied to Wyatt.
Hector Simplicity intended to reserve strength to challenge Wyatt.
Since everyone’s attention was on Ares, nobody noticed Lord Wyatt Barnes already standing in the corner.
As a matter of fact, when the arena competition began, Wyatt had already appeared and observed the entire process.
Now, with the outcome clear, Wyatt didn’t continue to linger, turning around to leave.
Arriving silently, leaving silently.
However, after leaving, he didn’t return to continue his training but walked straight out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Unbelievable... In just a few months, I’ve smoothly transitioned from a Blue Moon Celestial Immortal to ’Purple Moon Celestial’! Apart from top-grade immortal stones, Spirit Essence Pills, and the meditation chamber, the benefits mainly lie in my ninety-nine Heavenly Veins."
While leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, thinking of achieving ’Purple Moon Celestial’ few days ago, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
In the diverse heavens, Wyatt profoundly felt the advantages of his ninety-nine Saint Veins.
This feeling was absent in the mundane world.
"No wonder Elder Fire said... My ninety-nine Heavenly Veins would shine brightly in the diverse heavens! Elder Fire indeed didn’t deceive me."
Wyatt secretly thought.
A few days ago, after his cultivation breakthrough to ’Purple Moon Celestial’, Wyatt ceased his training and chose to emerge from seclusion.
The reason for not hastily continuing cultivation:
Firstly, because he knew that even if he continued training, breaking through to become a ’Golden Immortal’ before going to Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion was impossible;
Secondly, because he wished to learn more about the diverse heavens before heading to Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion.
His current understanding of the diverse heavens only came from what the tavern waiter told him, and the waiter didn’t know everything, naturally couldn’t tell him everything.
After leaving the City Lord’s mansion, Wyatt Barnes visited several shops resembling bookstores and used a few low-grade celestial stones to purchase over a dozen ’memory talismans’ he needed.
These memory talismans can record and store a certain amount of information. As long as one extends Divine Sense into them, they can read the recorded and stored information within, making it a part of their own memory.
However, these memory talismans are one-time use items. Once the Divine Sense has read the recorded and stored information inside, the talismans will shatter.
Worth mentioning is:
In the heavens, celestial talismans are almost all engraved from jade slips.
After purchasing the memory talismans, Wyatt Barnes returned to the City Lord’s mansion, to the residence where Manuel Willow stayed. However, he didn’t go to the quiet chamber for cultivation but moved into the guest room Manuel Willow had prepared for him.
Though called a guest room, it was actually a courtyard resembling a small mansion, with three rooms and a spacious yard.
"Lord Wyatt Barnes!"
"Lord Wyatt Barnes!"
Two guards, like deity guards, stood at the entrance of the courtyard. Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, they hurriedly and respectfully saluted.
"Do you know me?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the two guards at the entrance with some surprise. He remembered that when he first came to the City Lord’s mansion months ago, the entrance of his courtyard was not guarded by these two.
"Reporting to Lord Wyatt Barnes, after you arrived, the City Lord circulated your portrait throughout the entire City Lord’s mansion... The City Lord also said that seeing you should be treated as seeing him. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to you will no longer remain in the City Lord’s mansion."
In response to Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, one of the guards respectfully replied.
"The City Lord is considerate."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile, stepped into the courtyard, and with the respectful greetings of several maids inside, walked into the large room surrounded by two small rooms.
Returning to his room, Wyatt Barnes first took out a memory talisman, extending his Divine Sense into it.
Snap!
As the memory talisman shattered, Wyatt Barnes could clearly feel:
Inside the memory talisman, a vast amount of information surged into his mind along his Divine Sense, becoming part of his memory.
"In the heavens, celestial pills are divided into low-grade celestial pills, mid-grade celestial pills, top-grade celestial pills, and exceptional-grade celestial pills... Low-grade celestial pills can be refined by any low-grade alchemist. Some highly skilled low-grade alchemists might occasionally, due to a stroke of luck, refine one or two mid-grade celestial pills!"
"Of course, low-grade alchemists have a very low success rate in refining mid-grade celestial pills."
"There are also mid-grade alchemists, top-grade alchemists, exceptional-grade alchemists... Similar to how low-grade alchemists struggle to refine mid-grade celestial pills, mid-grade alchemists and top-grade alchemists also find it difficult to refine top-grade and exceptional-grade celestial pills."
"Especially exceptional-grade celestial pills... In Spiritual Heaven, it is almost unheard of for top-grade alchemists to be able to refine them, no matter how smoothly the alchemy process goes, or how good the luck is."
"However, there have been cases where top-grade alchemists managed to refine exceptional-grade celestial pills... but this occurred in other heavens."
...
The shattered memory talisman in Wyatt Barnes’ hand recorded the grade classification of celestial pills in the heavens, and the grades of alchemists who can refine these celestial pills.
Additionally, the memory talisman also recorded the grades of alchemists.
"Alchemist..."
With a flash of his gaze, Wyatt Barnes again took out a memory talisman, extending his Divine Sense into it.
As this memory talisman shattered, another vast amount of information surged into Wyatt Barnes’ mind along his Divine Sense, becoming part of his memory.
"In the heavens, Immortal Artifacts are divided into low-grade Immortal Artifacts, mid-grade Immortal Artifacts, top-grade Immortal Artifacts, and exceptional-grade Immortal Artifacts..."
This memory talisman recorded information about ’Immortal Artifacts’ and ’Artifact Refiners,’ similar to the knowledge Wyatt Barnes previously acquired about ’celestial pills’ and ’alchemists.’
Artifact Refiners, like alchemists, are divided into low-grade Artifact Refiners, mid-grade Artifact Refiners, top-grade Artifact Refiners, and exceptional-grade Artifact Refiners.
"This memory talisman... is about how to become an alchemist and Artifact Refiner."
Soon, Wyatt Barnes took out another memory talisman, extending his Divine Sense into it again.
"To become an alchemist or Artifact Refiner, besides having research in alchemy and artifact crafting, one must also obtain ’celestial fire’?"
Through the information recorded in the memory talisman, Wyatt Barnes learned:
In the heavens, alchemists and Artifact Refiners differ greatly from those in the secular worlds:
The latter can directly use their own power to condense red flame and artifact fire;
While the former, only by obtaining ’celestial fire,’ can rely on the research in alchemy and artifact crafting to perform alchemy and artifact crafting.
"Celestial fire, in the heavens, is considered among the categories of precious heavenly and earthly treasures. The higher the grade, the rarer it is, with myriad types, broadly divided into ’gentle’ and ’violent’ types..."
"The former is suitable for alchemy; the latter is suitable for artifact crafting."
