Chapter 1878: Chapter 1878: Saint Immortal’s Nine Transformations
"If you want me to stay, you’ll have to prove you’re capable of it!"
The voice grew increasingly faint as the sentence ended.
As he spoke, Destiny Elder had already turned to leave, moving farther and farther away.
As for Cade Simpson, eager to take Destiny Elder’s life, seeing him departing, naturally chased after him.
At this moment, he completely forgot about Case Moon and Mansion of Azure Clouds!
Destiny Elder and Cade Simpson left one after the other, vanishing in an instant.
Soon, only Lanni Barnes, Case Moon, and the guardian were left at the scene.
"House Master Barnes, what is going on? Why would Cade Simpson come to your Mansion of Azure Clouds to kill?"
The guardian looked at Lanni Barnes, bewildered.
He managed to arrive in time because someone had informed him beforehand that a powerhouse from the Upper Domain was violating rules at the Mansion of Azure Clouds, so he rushed over immediately.
However, still, he arrived too late, as several people had already died at the hands of that Upper Domain powerhouse.
Initially, he didn’t know who that Upper Domain powerhouse was.
It was only upon arriving at Mansion of Azure Clouds that he realized that the powerhouse was an elder of Mysterious Buddha Sect, Cade Simpson!
If he had known it was Cade Simpson earlier, he wouldn’t have come at all.
"He came for the Demon Sealing Monument,"
Lanni Barnes said in a deep voice.
"Demon Sealing Monument?"
The guardian frowned upon hearing Lanni Barnes’ words, "Wasn’t the Demon Sealing Monument gone for several years now? It is rumored that it was obtained by a young man named ’Wyatt Barnes’, and that young man disappeared with the monument since then."
"Elder Mullins, you seldom go out, so you’re probably unaware that the Wyatt Barnes who obtained the Demon Sealing Monument is my son... And today, Cade Simpson came to Mansion of Azure Clouds, first killed Elder Elder Dry, and then seized the Demon Sealing Monument from my son’s hands!"
At this, Lanni Barnes’ eyes shot a cold light, filled with murderous intent!
"That Wyatt Barnes is House Master Barnes’ son?"
The guardian looked surprised.
"Elder Mullins, judging by Cade Simpson’s words to you earlier, he belongs to one of the three major sects in the Upper Domain, the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’. You seem to be somewhat intimidated by him,"
Lanni Barnes asked.
Earlier, when Cade Simpson spoke with Elder Mullins, it became apparent to him that Cade was a person from the Mysterious Buddha Sect.
And the Mysterious Buddha Sect is indeed one of the three major sects of the Upper Domain in Martial Dao Sacred Land!
The three major sects in the Upper Domain are ’Fire Worship Sect’, ’Heavenly Shaman Sect’, and ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’, and they are considered of equal standing.
About this, he was informed.
"Cade Simpson, an elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, is a ’Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse’... Moreover, his father is one of the four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, known as the ’Golden Lion King’.
As it came to an end, the guardian’s face turned grave, "In the Mysterious Buddha Sect, position-wise, any one of the four Great Dharma Kings does not fall much short of the Sect Leader... If the four Great Dharma Kings reach a consensus, they can even dethrone the current Sect Leader and appoint a new one."
Lanni Barnes’ face turned gloomy; he hadn’t expected Cade Simpson to have such a high background.
Not only is he an elder of Mysterious Buddha Sect, but also the son of ’Golden Lion King’, one of the sect’s four Great Dharma Kings!
As for the guardian mentioning Cade Simpson as a ’Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse’, he wasn’t particularly surprised.
Because it was clear from the outset that Cade Simpson’s displayed power even surpassed that of the top Heavenly Saint Realm experts!
Therefore, there could only be one explanation.
Cade Simpson’s cultivation had surpassed the Heavenly Saint Realm!
In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, after the Heavenly Saint Realm, there is one more crucial realm...
That realm is the ’Saint Immortal Realm’!
The Saint Immortal Realm is further divided into nine sub-realms, collectively known as the ’Saint Immortal Nine Transformations’.
Once one cultivates through to the final transformation, ’Ascension Transformation’, it could even trigger the heavens to descend the ’Promoting to Immortal Tribulation’.
Once overcoming the Promoting to Immortal Tribulation successfully, one can ascend and soar to the heavens, becoming a true ’immortal’!
"Dad!"
The partially recovered Wyatt Barnes came floating in with the support of Helen Sinclair and Irene.
Right now, he had dismissed his ’dragon skin’, no longer appearing as a Dragon Warrior.
"Dad, how many people did that guy kill in our Mansion of Azure Clouds?"
After approaching Lanni Barnes, Wyatt Barnes asked with a stern face, his eyes showing cold light, and murderous intent rising.
"Ten people died,"
Lanni Barnes sighed.
"Ten people?"
Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Only ten people?
"Dad, did something happen?"
Wyatt Barnes asked again, as he couldn’t believe that middle-aged man to be compassionate.
If he hadn’t seen him transform into a Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior, and for his dread of the Nine-Claw Divine Dragon, the opponent might have already killed him and possibly annihilated the entire Mansion of Azure Clouds!
Due to this, he vaguely guessed something must have happened to stop that guy from massacring more people in Mansion of Azure Clouds.
"Another Upper Domain powerhouse appeared earlier, mocked him a bit... Then that Upper Domain powerhouse turned away, and he pursued that powerhouse out of here!"
Although he recognized Destiny Elder, he pretended not to, acting as if he didn’t know the man.
Until gaining Destiny Elder’s consent, he wouldn’t reveal that he knew Destiny Elder.
"Another expert from the Upper Domain has arrived?"
Wyatt Barnes was startled upon hearing this, instinctively looking around.
After scanning the area, he found that besides his father, there was only an old man present.
Case Moon had quietly left without being noticed.
However, hearing that the middle-aged man who took his Demon Sealing Monument had left, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Moreover, the departure of the middle-aged man meant that the others from Mansion of Azure Clouds had escaped a disaster!
As for revenge, he knew he currently didn’t have the strength for it.
Although filled with anger, he could only bury the fury deep in his heart.
He understood that he didn’t have the power to confront that man now, let alone kill him!
"House Master Barnes, is this your son?"
At some point, the guard’s gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes, questioning Lanni Barnes.
Lanni Barnes nodded, and then introduced Wyatt, "Wyatt, this is Elder Mullins, the guardian of the Martial Dao Sacred Land lower domain."
Guardian?
Upon hearing Lanni Barnes’s words, Wyatt was naturally surprised, having never expected the guardian of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s lower domain to appear here.
"Elder Mullins."
Out of courtesy, Wyatt still greeted the guardian.
"Young man has quite the fortune, obtaining a super sacred artifact like the ’Demon Sealing Monument’... However, that Monument is listed in the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List; getting it might not be a good thing. Now that the Monument is no longer in your possession, you don’t need to hide like before, a loss and a gain."
Initially, the guardian’s words seemed acceptable, but as he continued, Wyatt’s expression grew complicated.
Indeed.
The Monument not being in his possession might not be a bad thing for him.
Of course, Wyatt thinking this way didn’t mean he no longer harbored resentment towards the middle-aged man.
The man not only humiliated him, pressing him to the ground, but also killed ten disciples of Mansion of Azure Clouds, as well as Elder Kuru...
He vowed to avenge them, eventually!
Currently, he is aware of his capabilities.
"House Master Barnes, since everything is settled here, I should take my leave."
After bidding farewell to Lanni Barnes, the guardian left.
The atmosphere quieted, leaving only Lanni Barnes, Wyatt Barnes, Helen Sinclair, and Irene at the scene.
Meanwhile, Asa Honorston was busy consoling the Mansion of Azure Clouds disciples affected by the commotion here.
"The man known as ’Cade Simpson’ is an elder from one of the Upper Domain’s three major sects, the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’... His cultivation has surpassed the Heavenly Saint Realm, he’s a strong figure who has stepped into the ’Saint Immortal Realm’!"
Lanni Barnes first broke the silence on the scene.
Mentioning Cade Simpson agitated Lanni Barnes, his killing intent surging, ready to devour anyone!
His anger was no less than Wyatt’s.
"People from the three major sects?"
Wyatt’s pupils contracted slightly, astonished that he hadn’t even rescued his wife Keer from the clutches of the Fire Worship Sect and yet had inadvertently become entangled with another sect, the Mysterious Buddha Sect.
Of course, it wasn’t any sort of favorable relationship.
The ’Saint Immortal Realm’ was not unfamiliar to Wyatt.
Back when he was in another quasi-third-rate power, ’Mysterious Void Mansion’, he’d been to the mansion’s Book Collection Pavilion and had read many classics.
Among them were texts introducing the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s cultivation realms.
The Saint Immortal Realm was included therein!
The Saint Immortal Realm is the cultivation realm beyond the Heavenly Saint Realm in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the final realm!
Once someone reaches the ninth transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm, the ’Ascension Transformation’, they will face the ’Promoting to Immortal Tribulation’...
Successfully overcoming the tribulation leads to ascension and allows one to go beyond the heavens!
His master, Sword Saint ’Breezy Wind’, had once reached the ninth transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm, successfully passing the tribulation, and ultimately ascended to the heavenly planes.
"Saint Immortal Realm... I wonder how many transformations that Cade Simpson has cultivated to?"
Wyatt mused inwardly, sensing a certain pressure at the same time.
It turned out the one who killed Kuru, who killed over ten disciples of Mansion of Azure Clouds, was Cade Simpson—a Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse, one he had to look up to.
However, Wyatt wasn’t discouraged by this.
Saint Immortal Realm—so what?
Sooner or later, he would storm the Mysterious Buddha Sect, kill Cade Simpson, avenge Kuru, and the ten disciples of Mansion of Azure Clouds!
Because of the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, Cade Simpson appeared at Mansion of Azure Clouds, the Monument being his property.
Thus, Wyatt blamed the deaths of Kuru and the other disciples directly on himself.
Perhaps only by killing Cade Simpson and avenging them thoroughly could Wyatt drop the ’burden’ from his shoulders entirely.
The commotion at Mansion of Azure Clouds couldn’t be concealed.
In fact, Mansion of Azure Clouds didn’t have any intention to hide it, instead openly spreading the news.
"Junior House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Wyatt Barnes’, the lucky person who once obtained the Demon Sealing Monument, after his identity was exposed, drew the attention of Upper Domain experts... The Demon Sealing Monument was also taken by Upper Domain experts!"
"The expert who took the Demon Sealing Monument is an elder from one of the Upper Domain’s three major sects, the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’!"
...
After the news spread, similar discourses were heard everywhere.
