CHAPTER 1793: CHAPTER 1793: VISITOR FROM THE SHADOW MOUNTAIN BLACK MARKET

Advanced Divine Ability!

Ebba King is, so far, the first person to claim that she has acquired an advanced divine ability.

"Thousand Illusionary Shadows... In the history of our Mysterious Void House, there was once an ancestor who acquired it. However, because he was male, he was unable to successfully master this divine ability. But, according to the manuscript he left behind, if a female disciple obtains this divine ability, there’s a significant chance she can master it."

At this moment, the Yellow Palace Master, ’Lachlan Jimenez,’ spoke up.

For a moment, the higher-ups of the Mysterious Void House fixed their fiery gazes on Ebba King.

Since Ebba King is a female Martial Artist, doesn’t this mean she has a high chance of mastering that advanced divine ability in the future?

"Senior Brother Watson, can you let this King Family girl join our Yellow Palace?"

Very quickly, Lachlan Jimenez looked at Oliver Watson and started to poach, "I am interested in taking her as a personal disciple."

"Junior Brother Jimenez, it’s already too late... because I have already decided to take this girl as a personal disciple."

Knowing that Ebba King had obtained the advanced movement divine ability ’Thousand Illusionary Shadows,’ Oliver Watson naturally wouldn’t let her go to the Yellow Palace, so after hearing Lachlan Jimenez’s words, he immediately expressed his intent to accept Ebba King as a personal disciple.

Upon hearing Oliver Watson’s words, Ebba King’s eyes lit up.

Didn’t she reveal that she obtained an advanced divine ability precisely to get better training from the Mysterious Void House?

Now, with the Heavenly Palace Master wanting to take her as a personal disciple, she had achieved her goal.

The Heavenly Palace Master is the head among the Vice House Masters in the Mysterious Void House, with a strength and status second only to the House Master and the two Protectors.

Becoming his personal disciple naturally made Ebba King happy.

"How about it? Girl, are you willing to accept me as your master?"

Oliver Watson ignored Lachlan Jimenez, who wore a bitter expression, and promptly looked at Ebba King, asking with a smile.

"Greetings, Master!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Ebba King knelt in mid-air and kowtowed three times to Oliver Watson, completing the rites for becoming a disciple.

"Haha..."

Seeing this, Oliver Watson laughed heartily, extremely pleased.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Watson!"

"Congratulations, Lord Palace Master!"

...

Meanwhile, everyone present congratulated Oliver Watson, including Lachlan Jimenez, the Yellow Palace Master. Although his heart was bleeding, seeing things had come to this, he could only accept it.

Actually, it wasn’t just Lachlan Jimenez, the Yellow Palace Master’s heart was bleeding.

Among the Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void House present, apart from Atlas Dunn, the others were also bleeding internally.

A distinguished disciple who obtained an advanced divine ability; who wouldn’t want them?

But, among the higher-ups of the Mysterious Void House present, perhaps only House Master ’Ryatt Morgan’ could contend with Oliver Watson, the Heavenly Palace Master.

So when Oliver Watson said he wanted to take Ebba King as a personal disciple, they tacitly refrained from speaking up because they knew that even if they did, it would be of no use.

"Congratulations."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Ebba King, timely sending his congratulations through sound transmission.

"That day, after I was eliminated... did you defeat that white-clothed sword cultivator?"

Ebba King asked in a sound transmission.

That day, she was killed by the guardian at the final barrier of the advanced divine ability ruins, whose strength was beyond her imagination.

Even she dared not be certain whether Wyatt Barnes passed the test of that barrier.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "Luckily, I defeated him."

"So, you also obtained an advanced divine ability?"

Ebba King asked.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded and then said, "But, regarding this matter, I hope you..."

"You hope I keep it a secret for you, right? Don’t worry, I won’t say anything."

Before Wyatt Barnes could finish, Ebba King understandingly interrupted him and solemnly assured him, "When you leave the Mysterious Void House in the future to go to the Upper Domain to find your master... If they know you obtained an advanced divine ability, they might not let you leave."

"Thank you."

Faced with Ebba King’s understanding, Wyatt Barnes felt warmth in his heart and expressed his gratitude through sound transmission.

"Thanks for what? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten ’Thousand Illusionary Shadows.’"

Ebba King rolled her eyes at Wyatt Barnes and continued, "So, these two matters, we are even... But the favor I did for you by paying back Enoch Mullins’ family’s favor, you indeed owe me, and it can’t be considered repaid."

Wyatt Barnes was dumbfounded by Ebba King’s words.

Wasn’t that favor already considered repaid?

Right now, Wyatt Barnes even briefly considered revealing that he had obtained an advanced divine ability, so that he wouldn’t owe Ebba King any favors.

However, ultimately, he didn’t say anything.

Wyatt Barnes’ strength was undoubtedly the strongest among the group of people who entered the Saint Martial Secret Realm, and everyone present had high expectations for the divine abilities he obtained.

But sometimes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

"A middle-grade divine ability?"

When it was revealed that Wyatt Barnes only obtained one middle-grade divine ability, along with several low-grade ones, most of the high-ranking members of the Mysterious Void House, including the House Master, Ryatt Morgan, were somewhat disappointed.

Only the members of the Dunn Family seemed to gloat over it.

"You... how come you didn’t obtain a high-grade divine ability? With your strength, the trials of most high-grade divine ability relics shouldn’t be difficult for you."

The Yellow Palace Master, Lachlan Jimenez, looked at Wyatt Barnes in surprise, finding it hard to believe.

"I only encountered two high-grade divine ability relics."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said, "The first was the ’First Divine Ability Relic’... The second was the relic that recorded the ’Thousand Phantom Illusions’."

"So, you gave up the Thousand Phantom Illusions for Ebba?"

Heavenly Palace Master, Oliver Watson, looked at Wyatt Barnes with a bit of admiration, feeling that Wyatt understood the art of making choices.

The ’Thousand Phantom Illusions’, for female warriors, is much harder for male warriors to master.

Giving it up for a female warrior was the wisest decision.

"Actually, it wasn’t quite like that..."

Just when Wyatt Barnes wanted to explain that it wasn’t really him giving it up to Ebba King, she timely interrupted him, "Yes, Master. He gave it up for me... If it weren’t for his help, I wouldn’t have gotten that divine ability at all."

Immediately, except for Atlas Dunn, all the high-ranking members of the Mysterious Void House, including House Master Ryatt Morgan, looked at Wyatt Barnes with more admiration.

They shared the same sentiment as Oliver Watson, believing that Wyatt Barnes made the right choice.

"Giving up a high-grade divine ability isn’t something just anyone can do... Wyatt, you’ve done well!"

A Vice House Master from the Mysterious Void House praised.

"Indeed. In the future, if our Mysterious Void House obtains the inheritance of the high-grade divine ability, ’Thousand Phantom Illusions’, your contribution will be significant! At that time, your name will undoubtedly be etched heavily in the history of our Mysterious Void House, forever celebrated."

Another Vice House Master agreed.

As each disciple of the Mysterious Void House reported their gains, among the thirty who entered the Saint Martial Secret Realm, only Ebba King acquired a high-grade divine ability.

Of course, this was under the premise that Wyatt Barnes concealed his own gains.

Additionally, among the thirty who entered the Saint Martial Secret Realm, only Enoch Mullins, whose cultivation was below the Middle Saint Realm, obtained a middle-grade divine ability.

For a moment, all the disciples at the peak of the Little Saint Realm looked at Enoch Mullins with envy and jealousy.

Other than Tommy Dunn, who was earlier eliminated by Wyatt Barnes, among those at the mid-Middle Saint Realm who entered the Saint Martial Secret Realm, besides Ebba King, two others obtained middle-grade divine abilities.

Only Ewen Price, like Tommy Dunn, did not obtain a middle-grade divine ability.

Of course, he was somewhat better off than Tommy Dunn, having acquired three low-grade divine abilities.

However, there were several others at the early Middle Saint Realm who obtained middle-grade divine abilities, a result that made both Ewen Price and Tommy Dunn look quite upset.

In any case, this journey to the Saint Martial Secret Realm left some happy and others heartbroken.

And Wyatt Barnes, naturally, was one of the happy ones.

Until Ryatt Morgan, the House Master of the Mysterious Void House, ordered everyone to disperse, he showed no intention of taking Wyatt Barnes as a disciple.

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes sighed in relief.

"It seems the messages passed around through others some time ago have made the House Master give up the idea of taking me as a disciple... It’s just as well, since I won’t be staying in the Mysterious Void House for long anyway. However, if in the future, I manage to master the divine abilities ’Minor Devouring Technique’ and ’Celestial Outlander’, I will find an opportunity to pass them on to a disciple of the Mysterious Void House."

Wyatt Barnes thought silently.

"Thank you, Brother Wyatt."

Wyatt Barnes was leaving with Augustine Landon and Ebba King when Enoch Mullins caught up with them, respectfully thanking Wyatt Barnes.

If not for Wyatt Barnes’s influence, Ebba King would never have helped him obtain a middle-grade divine ability.

"You don’t need to thank me. If anyone, you should thank Elder Castiel Mullins of your Surge Hayden House... Also, please pass a message to Elder Castiel Mullins for me, saying that Eden Lee did not intentionally stand him up that day, but had something urgent to attend to."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"I will certainly pass on the message."

Enoch Mullins nodded quickly and then took his leave, not wanting to disturb Wyatt Barnes any longer.

"Junior Brother Wyatt, your luck really is something else... Although you encountered two high-grade divine ability relics, one was impossible to pass, and the other held a divine ability not suitable for male martial artists."

On the way, Augustine Landon glanced at Wyatt Barnes and sighed.

"What is meant to be will be; what isn’t meant to be shouldn’t be forced."

In response to Augustine Landon’s sigh, Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly.

To Augustine, it seemed Wyatt was resigning to fate; but to Ebba King, it carried a different meaning, as she knew Wyatt had gained a high-grade sword technique divine ability.

BOOM!!

All of a sudden, a loud explosion echoed from the sky, startling Wyatt Barnes and the others to a halt.

Immediately afterward, a sinister voice echoed down, spreading throughout the Mysterious Void House, "I am Diffy Fenning, Vice Leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, passing by the Mysterious Void House and wish to meet the leading figure of the younger generation, Wyatt Barnes! Brother Wyatt, please come forward and meet me!"

Vice Leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market!

Diffy Fenning!

Immediately, the Mysterious Void House was in an uproar.

"He’s looking for me?"

When the gazes of Augustine Landon and Ebba King fell upon him, Wyatt Barnes was taken aback.
