Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1681: Olive Branch

Chapter 1681: Chapter 1681: Olive Branch

The term "Solar True Origin" refers to the True Origin that has merged with the solar flame.

Of course, the solar flame within Wyatt Barnes’s True Origin doesn’t yet qualify as a true solar flame.

The true solar flame is the kind mastered by the three-legged Golden Crow ’Elder Fire’ at his peak, renowned across all celestial realms, capable of incinerating nearly everything.

As Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation progresses, his True Origin will also transform, and the power of the solar flame will gradually intensify.

Until it eventually becomes a true solar flame!

However, mastering a true solar flame requires Wyatt Barnes to elevate his cultivation to a certain level.

This level surpasses even the scope of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, not just the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, but the entire scope, including the Upper Domain.

"Boy, you’re courting death!!"

Just then, an angry shout exploded in Wyatt Barnes’s ear. It was the Grand Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion, ’Serene Adams’, who was enraged as Wyatt defied his words and lethally attacked the disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

Of course, he didn’t dare say it outright, using voice transmission instead.

Initially, he had that Sky-scraping Mansion disciple kill Wyatt Barnes because he didn’t think a young man under forty, like Wyatt, could be a match for his disciple.

Who would have thought Wyatt Barnes would have the strength to kill that Sky-scraping Mansion disciple?

If he had known, he would have immediately had his disciple concede. Though embarrassing, it wouldn’t have cost them lives in the Sky-scraping Mansion.

In one outing, they lost two Middle Saint Realm early-stage disciples of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

Moreover, both were under fifty years old!

Under fifty and in the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm, such talent could rank in the top five among the younger generation of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

Such individuals were all lost here today.

Serene Adams could imagine how furious their House Master and even the elders, Vice House Master, would be upon their return.

Even though Serene Adams couldn’t intervene due to rules and the presence of Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins, he couldn’t escape responsibility.

All of a sudden, he began to sweat slightly on his forehead.

It was cold sweat.

Facing Serene Adams’s angry shout, Wyatt Barnes raised his head and gave Serene Adams a light glance, saying, "Grand Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion, is it? So, your disciple can kill me, but I can’t kill him? Am I just supposed to stand still and wait to die? Tsk tsk... You say I’m courting death; does that mean your disciples don’t have to follow the rules? If that’s the case, there’s no need for an Overleaping Rankings competition. You could just pre-determine the ten slots for yourselves."

As he continued, Wyatt’s face was full of mockery.

Serene Adams didn’t expect Wyatt to expose his transmitted threat, and his face immediately darkened.

At that moment, all the surrounding gazes converged on him, filled with ridicule and anger.

The rules of the Overleaping Rankings were set long ago, disregarding life and death.

This Grand Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion now threatens a loose cultivator because his people were killed?

His people can kill loose cultivators, but loose cultivators can’t kill his people? Such tyranny!

The loose cultivators present, including GullyAshton Chapman, coldly looked at Serene Adams, and many began to mock, "Tsk tsk... A Grand Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion has no stature, threatening a loose cultivator."

"His people can kill others, but others can’t kill his people? Truly tyrannical."

"In my view, if his people died, they deserved it. It’s an Overleaping Rankings competition, after all, where life and death don’t matter... In such cases, threatening the person who acted because your people were killed is a disgrace to the Sky-scraping Mansion."

...

Now, not only were loose cultivators mocking Serene Adams, but even people from other factions looked at him strangely.

Even Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins looked at Serene Adams with unpleasant expressions, as his actions were tantamount to challenging them, the primary hosts of the Overleaping Rankings competition.

Serene Adams could ignore what others thought.

However, noticing the icy gazes of Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins, Serene had to appease them. He immediately glared at Wyatt Barnes and shouted, "Boy, I don’t know what you’re talking about! When did I say you were courting death? Stop making unfounded accusations!"

For a moment, many looked at Wyatt Barnes with puzzled expressions.

More of them smirked, all guessing that Serene Adams intended to deny the incident.

"Unfounded accusations?"

Wyatt sneered, his mockery deepening, "If that’s the case, how about you, the Grand Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion, make a Thunder Punishment oath saying you never said such things? To be fair, I’m also willing to make a similar Thunder Punishment oath!"

Thunder Punishment Oath!

As soon as Wyatt uttered those words, those who doubted him realized that Wyatt was probably not lying. Otherwise, why would he willingly propose a Thunder Punishment oath?

"Who do you think you are, warranting me, Serene Adams, to make a Thunder Punishment oath?"

Serene Adams didn’t expect the loose cultivator to be so ruthless, directly proposing a Thunder Punishment oath. His eyes flashed coldly, but he made no concession verbally.

"If you don’t dare, then just admit it. What’s the point of all this nonsense? Sky-scraping Mansion’s Grand Elder, nothing much!"

Wyatt Barnes sneered coldly.

"Impudent!!"

Just as Serene Adams was rendered speechless by Wyatt Barnes’ audacity, his grandson, another combatant ’Shane Adams,’ could no longer hold back. His face, already stern, now seemed as if it was coated with frost, exuding an intimidating aura that made people feel as if they were plunged into an icy abyss.

However, Wyatt Barnes didn’t even glance at him, or rather, he couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge him.

If I’m not afraid of your grandfather, why would I be afraid of you?

This was the inner monologue of Wyatt Barnes at the moment.

Regardless, Wyatt Barnes daring to turn face with the Grand Elder of Sky-scraping Mansion, ’Serene Adams,’ excited the gathered crowd of loose cultivators. Wyatt had done what they dared not do and had vented their frustration.

Many loose cultivators looked at Wyatt Barnes with admiration, as if he were an ’idol.’

"Young man, what is your name?"

At this moment, Donovan Tasker spoke, looking at Wyatt Barnes and asking warmly.

In his eyes, there was clearly a touch of fervor.

Donovan Tasker’s words seemed to remind Castiel Mullins, who immediately looked at Wyatt Barnes with fiery eyes and smiled, asking, "Young man, I have not heard of such a noteworthy figure in the Sky-scraping Mansion region... Would you be interested in joining our Surge House?"

Boom!!

Castiel Mullins’ words were like a bolt out of the blue, creating a wave of astonishment among those present.

The Second Elder of Surge House actually extended an olive branch to this loose cultivator who had killed members of the Sky-scraping Mansion!

And he did so right in front of Serene Adams, the Grand Elder of Sky-scraping Mansion.

Is he not afraid of offending Sky-scraping Mansion because of this?

In truth, Castiel Mullins was being direct due to pressure.

Seeing how friendly Donovan Tasker was being to this young genius loose cultivator, he guessed Donovan’s intentions were to recruit Wyatt Barnes into Tengu House.

Genius loose cultivators have always been targets for major forces to contend for.

Just like the famous loose cultivator ’GullyAshton Chapman’ in the Sky-scraping Mansion region, not only the Sky-scraping Mansion, but even Tengu House and Surge House had all extended olive branches to him, but he was unwilling, and there was nothing the three major forces could do.

However, Wyatt Barnes was different.

He appeared as a loose cultivator, was previously unknown, and with a talent greater than GullyAshton Chapman, he was undoubtedly a prime target for recruitment by Surge House.

Donovan Tasker initially intended to be more roundabout, but now seeing Castiel Mullins being so direct, he hurriedly said to Wyatt Barnes, "Young man, we at Tengu House also welcome your joining! If you join us, we will not only cultivate you with the best training resources but will also protect your personal safety until you have grown strong enough."

As he said the latter part, he instinctively glanced at Serene Adams.

The implication was clear: they would protect him from harm by Sky-scraping Mansion.

During the Overleaping Rankings battle, perhaps people from Sky-scraping Mansion wouldn’t dare act, but afterwards, no one could assure his safety.

He believed that this loose cultivator in front of him surely understood this point.

Seeing Donovan Tasker, the Vice House Master of Tengu House, also extend an olive branch to Wyatt Barnes, the crowd was once again in an uproar, although this time it wasn’t as surprising due to Castiel Mullins going first.

"Young man, as long as you agree to join Surge House, whoever dares to harm you is an enemy of mine, Castiel Mullins!"

Seeing Donovan Tasker lowering his guard to recruit, Castiel Mullins refused to be outdone and added immediately.

"Genius loose cultivators really do have it good... it’s just a pity, with talent like mine, even fourth-rate forces look down on me, let alone fifth-rate ones."

A loose cultivator said with a bitter smile.

"Yeah, fourth-rate forces and fifth-rate forces look down on us, and we look down on sixth-rate forces... This is the awkward situation for us loose cultivators."

Another loose cultivator chimed in.

Nonetheless, with Wyatt Barnes being invited by both the Second Elder of Surge House and the Vice House Master of Tengu House, he once again became the focal point of the entire scene.

They were all curious about how Wyatt Barnes would choose.

With Wyatt Barnes’ talent, they believed that as long as he genuinely joined Surge House or Tengu House and made a Thunder Punishment vow, the two major forces would definitely not mistreat him.

As for Serene Adams, the Grand Elder of Sky-scraping Mansion, his face was now extremely unsightly.

How could it not be?

Donovan Tasker, Castiel Mullins, were extending olive branches to someone who killed members of their Sky-scraping Mansion, even suggesting they would protect him.

Yet, though his heart was full of rage, he had nothing to say.

If he were in Donovan Tasker’s and Castiel Mullins’ shoes, he would have done the same.

Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he had to concede that the stern-faced loose cultivator before him possessed an astonishingly high level of talent.
