CHAPTER 1731: CHAPTER 1731: HUMAN SAINT REALM AND DIVINE ABILITY

"Hmm, I heard."

Facing Brantley Yellow’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes nodded casually, as if he didn’t care about the matter at all. In fact, he truly wasn’t concerned about it.

"Your strength far surpasses my brother’s, yet you don’t show the magnanimity of a strong man, humiliating my brother like that. Don’t you think that’s excessive?"

Brantley Yellow’s expression darkened as he asked.

"Excessive?"

Wyatt Barnes laughed, "You keep saying I’m excessive, but do you know your brother tried to forcibly break in and disturb my cultivation? When he saw me come out, he repeatedly provoked and challenged me... If you were me, what would you have done? Tolerate? Tell him you’re stronger so he would back down?"

Wyatt Barnes explained the entire situation clearly.

Actually, Brantley Yellow already knew the whole story. He knew his brother was at fault; otherwise, he wouldn’t be speaking so ’politely’ after discovering Wyatt Barnes’ identity.

However, just because Brantley understood didn’t mean the other patrolling disciples did, so their expressions became peculiar.

They only knew Brantley’s brother ’Garrett Yellow’ had his head shaved but didn’t realize it was entirely Garrett’s own fault.

"What my brother did was indeed excessive, but don’t you think your actions were even more so? In front of so many people, doing that to him—how is he supposed to face others after that?"

Brantley took a deep breath and questioned, nearly demanding an answer.

"I don’t think my actions were excessive."

Wyatt Barnes continued calmly, "This is within the Mysterious Void House. Had it been outside, if Garrett Yellow dared to break in and disturb my cultivation... he’d be either dead or crippled!"

As he finished speaking, a flash of ruthlessness passed through Wyatt’s eyes.

He’s not someone to mess with, and in his view, regarding Garrett’s incident, he had already shown mercy, and the matter was in the past.

But now, someone brought it up again. To him, it was a blatant provocation!

"You!!"

Brantley hadn’t expected Wyatt to be so aggressive, and facing Wyatt’s disrespect, his expression completely darkened. A blazing fury rose in his eyes, seemingly able to burn everything to ashes.

"Senior Brother Brantley!"

Seeing the situation escalate rapidly, the group of patrolling disciples following Brantley became anxious and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.

What a joke!

Ultimately, Wyatt had the justification in this incident.

If a conflict truly arose, even if Wyatt suffered a disadvantage, Brantley would undoubtedly be punished as well.

With the talent and strength Wyatt had displayed, his future growth would inevitably make him a pillar of the Mysterious Void House. It’s not impossible for him to become the next House Master.

Of course, not to mention the future, even now, Wyatt’s feats might have already reached the ear of the Heavenly Palace Master, or possibly even their House Master of the Mysterious Void House, who likely has begun to notice him given his astonishing talent and strength since arriving here.

In terms of strength, he can hold his own against the top late-stage Middle Saint Realm disciples of the Heavenly Palace, indicating his strength is at least late Middle Saint Realm, if not nearing its peak.

Most importantly, he’s not even forty years old yet!

A late Middle Saint Realm cultivator not yet forty is rare even in the history of the Mysterious Void House.

Moreover, none of those were as exceptionally gifted as him!

In terms of talent, he absorbed all the Spiritual Energy in the Heavenly Palace’s spirit pool in just twenty days.

After all, the stronger the talent, the faster the cultivation speed and naturally quicker the absorption of Spiritual Energy.

The Heavenly Palace’s spirit pool incident clearly shows that Wyatt’s talent is extraordinary—enough to shake the entire Mysterious Void House.

If even the other patrolling disciples could see this, Brantley surely could as well?

Under their persuasion, he calmed down, gave Wyatt a cold glance, then left with his men.

Nonetheless, a hint of viciousness in his eyes was clearly caught by Wyatt as he departed.

However, Wyatt wasn’t bothered, seeming not to regard Brantley as a matter at all.

Upon entering the Mysterious Void House’s floating island, Wyatt was once again stopped, this time by the guard disciples of the island.

"Are you the Wyatt from the Heavenly Palace?"

While helping Wyatt register, the guard disciple checked his identity token and was shocked to see the name ’Wyatt’ on the back.

Though Wyatt Barnes hadn’t been in the Mysterious Void House for long, within the house, he was renowned to all its members.

Lately, if there’s anyone making waves in the Mysterious Void House, it undoubtedly is this Wyatt!

"Yes."

Wyatt smiled and nodded.

The smile fell into the eyes of the guard disciple, making him feel as if he was basking in the warmth of spring, greatly enhancing his favorable impression of Wyatt Barnes. "Junior Brother Wyatt, I’ve registered you... Since you are not a disciple on the Mystic Void List, you can only stay at the Main Mansion for a maximum of one month. Within that month, you must register with me again before leaving."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

After receiving the identity token, Wyatt Barnes hurriedly thanked the guard disciple.

"Junior Brother Wyatt, take this Jade Slip; it contains precautions for entering the Main Mansion and some areas you should not wander into."

The guard disciple took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Wyatt Barnes, kindly reminding him.

After receiving the Jade Slip, Wyatt Barnes thanked him again before leaving.

Watching Wyatt Barnes’s figure fade into the distance, the guard disciple who handled his registration sighed, "This Junior Brother Wyatt is talented and has potential, yet he is not arrogant at all. That’s truly rare."

"Indeed. Compared to him, those young talents originally from our Mysterious Void Mansion fall far short... Their talent and strength can’t match Junior Brother Wyatt, not to mention their demeanor, which can’t hold a candle to him."

Another guard disciple echoed.

Even Wyatt Barnes himself did not realize that he had invisibly established such a good reputation.

At that moment, Wyatt Barnes was perusing the contents of the Jade Slip, quickly learning what places at the Main Mansion he could and could not go to.

The Main Mansion is an island floating high in the sky, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

As he walked along, magnificent buildings appeared before Wyatt Barnes’s eyes. He could vaguely see scattered figures, some of whom were patrolling disciples of the Main Mansion, while others were high-ranking members of the Mysterious Void Mansion and disciples on the Mystic Void List cultivating inside the Main Mansion.

Wyatt Barnes did not forget his purpose for coming to the Main Mansion, so as soon as he arrived, he headed straight to the Book Collection Pavilion.

Inside the Book Collection Pavilion, ancient texts passed down from the Mysterious Void Mansion were stored, all being ’originals.’

As for some identical texts in the Book Collection Pavilion of the four palaces, those were ’copies.’

Because the Book Collection Pavilion only stored texts recording various trivial affairs and notes, without any techniques or martial arts, its security was not very strict. Wyatt Barnes registered briefly before entering.

Once inside, he was met with rows of bookshelves of varying heights, arranged orderly.

"With so many texts, if I read them all, how long would it take..."

Seeing the multitude of texts on the shelves in front of him, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but click his tongue. "I only have a month, so I’ll have to be selective in what I read."

The main purpose of Wyatt Barnes coming to the Book Collection Pavilion was to learn about those who have transcended the Great Saint Realm in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Wyatt Barnes did not know much about those formidable figures.

Of course, this was also because the places he had been to before could not touch that level.

Now it was different; he had come to the Mysterious Void Mansion, which stood at the pinnacle of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land. Here, he could learn many things he hadn’t known before.

"Take your time... A month should be enough."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes began to search for texts in the Book Collection Pavilion. If the text wasn’t what he wanted to read, he would just glance through and close it again since he didn’t have much time to waste on these texts.

As he delved deeper into the texts, the world beyond the Great Saint Realm started to open a door to Wyatt Barnes.

"After the Great Saint Realm is the ’Human Saint Realm’!"

"Once you break through to the Human Saint Realm, you can access ’Divine Abilities’... For example, a Taoist Cultivator in the Human Saint Realm can perform a ’Body Outside the Body’ Divine Ability, which allows them to attach the ability to an object. Once someone activates that object, the cultivator’s body outside the body will appear."

"However, this body outside the body can only protect future generations and has no effect on the cultivator himself."

Reading the record about ’Divine Abilities,’ Wyatt Barnes immediately thought of his own ’Golden Crow’s Wings.’

According to Elder Fire, he had already formed the embryonic form of ’Golden Crow’s Wings.’ Just one more step, and by entering the Great Saint Realm, he could perform the Divine Ability ’Golden Crow’s Wings!’

Golden Crow’s Wings is a speed-oriented Divine Ability.

"Elder Fire!"

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but awaken Elder Fire inside the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower, "I read in these texts that in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, only those in the Human Saint Realm can grasp Divine Abilities... You previously said that once I break through to the Great Saint Realm, I could master the Divine Ability ’Golden Crow’s Wings.’ Is that true?"

"Of course, it is true."

Elder Fire responded, "Don’t forget that the True Origin flowing in your body isn’t ordinary; it’s Solar True Origin... You’re now in the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm, yet the power of your Solar True Origin is comparable to the True Origin of a typical Great Saint Realm. Once you break through to the Great Saint Realm, your Solar True Origin can naturally be on par with the power of the Human Saint Realm!"

"And Divine Abilities rely on the power within the performer... Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Elder Fire asked.

"I understand."

Wyatt Barnes nodded. If he didn’t understand now, it would be inexplicable.

Divine Abilities depend on the performer’s own power.

Generally, Martial Artists, Taoist Cultivators, and even Demon Cultivators can only perform Divine Abilities in the Human Saint Realm.

Yet Wyatt Barnes, in the Great Saint Realm, has a power within him akin to the existence of the Human Saint Realm, so performing Divine Abilities is naturally no problem.
