Chapter 1256: Overseas Holy Island

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Overseas Holy Island

"Indeed. I still have a way to go before reaching the ’Martial Emperor Realm’."

Wyatt Barnes was slightly surprised that Mystic Profound Martial Emperor ’Colin Yorke’ could tell he was not a ’Martial Emperor-level powerhouse’, and he guessed that Colin Yorke’s cultivation level must be above the ’Fourth Layer of Martial Emperor Realm’.

Because only existences above the ’Fourth Layer of Martial Emperor Realm’ could sense that he was not yet a ’Martial Emperor-level powerhouse’.

"Still a distance away from the ’Martial Emperor Realm’, yet you’ve already comprehended the ’Profound Mysteries of the Sword’... Elder Brother Ling Tian, you really are a swordsmanship prodigy."

Colin Yorke exclaimed.

Wyatt Barnes had long witnessed Wyatt’s achievements in the ’Way of the Sword’, feeling deeply shocked and admirative from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing Colin Yorke’s sigh, Wyatt Barnes just smiled faintly, then curiously asked, "I seem to have heard... that not only your Mystic Profound Peak has held selections for Martial Emperor disciples and followers, but the cultivating places of other Martial Emperors too?"

"Indeed."

Colin Yorke nodded, "Every renowned Martial Emperor-level or Demon Emperor-level powerhouse on the Cloud Skies Continent has been recruiting disciples and followers recently... Of course, like my Mystic Profound Peak, their ultimate goal is also to find outstanding Martial Emperor disciples, even personally taught disciples of a Martial Emperor!"

Martial Emperor disciples must possess at least the strength of the pinnacle of Martial Emperor Realm.

For a personally taught disciple of a Martial Emperor, the requirements are even higher, typically being those who have half-stepped into the ’Martial Emperor Realm’.

"With such fanfare in recruiting outstanding Martial Emperor disciples, is there a specific purpose behind it?"

Wyatt Barnes speculated.

"Brother Wyatt Barnes, you’ve guessed it right... We do indeed have a purpose."

Colin Yorke nodded with a somewhat solemn expression, "Actually, this time, our grand effort in recruiting Martial Emperor disciples and followers is all because of a decree from ’Holy Island’ overseas."

"Holy Island? A decree?"

Wyatt Barnes showed a puzzled face, "What is that?"

"Holy Island, always shrouded in mystery, it’s no surprise that Elder Brother Ling Tian, you are unaware of it..."

Colin Yorke said, "Holy Island is an island located far overseas, north of the Cloud Skies Continent... Of course, there are many islands overseas, but truly vast ones with rich original stone mines are just those four."

"They are the four great ’Holy Islands’ overseas!"

"Among the four overseas Holy Islands, one is held in highest esteem, with the other three revolving around it and in a subordinate relationship... And this time, the Martial Emperor-level and Demon Emperor-level powerhouses of our Cloud Skies Continent are responding to a decree from the one nearest to us, that subordinate island."

"That subordinate island is named ’Mist Hidden Island’... Years ago, emissaries from Mist Hidden Island came, asking us to bring our ten most outstanding disciples in a few years to participate in the ’Mist Hidden Island Martial Meeting’."

"Not long ago, the emissaries of Mist Hidden Island came again, saying the ’Mist Hidden Island Martial Meeting’ would be held a year early... Therefore, we organized the selection of Martial Emperor disciples and followers a year earlier than planned."

Colin Yorke continued to explain.

"That Mist Hidden Island, is it very frightening? To be able to command you all."

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Mist Hidden Island is indeed frightening... However, the reason we comply with Mist Hidden Island’s decree is not solely because of its fearsomeness, but more so because of the rewards promised for the ’Mist Hidden Island Martial Meeting’."

"In the Mist Hidden Island Martial Meeting, whichever Martial Emperor or Demon Emperor’s disciple shines, that Martial Emperor or Demon Emperor will be awarded a ’Holy Stone’."

When speaking of the ’Holy Stone’, Colin Yorke’s breathing grew somewhat rapid.

"Holy Stone?"

Wyatt Barnes was puzzled.

"Exactly, the Holy Stone."

Colin Yorke nodded, "The Holy Stone, to some extent, is similar to the original stone... However, even the finest original stone cannot compare to the preciousness of the ’Holy Stone’."

"Even for a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse, upon obtaining a ’Holy Stone’, one’s cultivation can rapidly advance, at an astonishing pace... To put it this way, a ’First level Martial Emperor Realm’ existence, upon acquiring a Holy Stone and completely absorbing its power, could break through to the ’Second Layer of Martial Emperor Realm’ in one fell swoop! And that too within a short time frame."

Colin Yorke introduced.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be shocked; this was the first time he had heard of the ’Holy Stone’.

While his mind held vast memories, there was no record regarding the ’Holy Stone’. Learning about its effects, he couldn’t help but be astounded.

A single Holy Stone could allow a ’First level Martial Emperor Realm’ martial artist to break through to the ’Second Layer of Martial Emperor Realm’ in a short time.

That’s simply defying the heavens!

"It really is that exaggerated."

Colin Yorke’s eyes filled with longing, and when he once again looked at Wyatt Barnes, his gaze became more restrained, "Now, you should understand why we’re so focused on Mist Hidden Island’s ’decree’, right?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded. Knowing the effects of the ’Holy Stone’, he could understand the sentiments of the group of Martial Emperor-level and Demon Emperor-level powerhouses, including Colin Yorke.

Which Martial Emperor-level or Demon Emperor-level powerhouse doesn’t want to rapidly advance their cultivation?

For that one purpose, let alone asking them to bring people to participate in some ’Mist Hidden Island Martial Meeting’, even if they were asked to undertake other difficult tasks, they wouldn’t frown.

"Holy Stone... Where exactly does it come from?"

Wyatt Barnes was full of curiosity.

"Where the ’Holy Stone’ precisely comes from, I’m not entirely sure... However, one thing’s for certain, Holy Stones aren’t produced by those four Holy Islands. For this, I particularly inquired the emissaries from Mist Hidden Island."

Colin Yorke said.

Although filled with countless doubts about the ’Holy Stone’, Wyatt Barnes knew that his current status didn’t grant him access to that level.

Therefore, he didn’t probe further.

He believed that once he reached that level, all his questions would be answered.

"How much do you know about that ’Mist Hidden Island’?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Mist Hidden Island, I only heard of it after breaking through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’."

Colin Yorke said, "Mist Hidden Island, located far north beyond the polar region of the Cloud Skies Continent... Leaving Cloud Skies Continent and going to Mist Hidden Island, even a ’First Layer Martial Emperor’ exerting full speed would need to spend half a year traveling."

"A First Layer Martial Emperor, rushing with all their might, half a year?"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be surprised, "That far?"

"The distance is still secondary... The main thing is that, on the way to Mist Hidden Island, the sea areas we pass through occasionally have many ’demons’, among which there are not a few ’Demon Emperor Realm’ beings."

"In addition, the strong Martial Emperors of our Cloud Skies Continent, once their strength reaches a certain level and they have nothing left to pursue on Cloud Skies Continent, will head to Mist Hidden Island to embark on a new journey."

"Because of this, Mist Hidden Island is indeed filled with strong warriors... Like me, although I am at the Fourth Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, once I arrive on Mist Hidden Island, I still have to be cautious and humble."

...

Colin Yorke continued, introducing everything about Mist Hidden Island to Wyatt Barnes.

"The strong Martial Emperors from Cloud Skies Continent went to Mist Hidden Island?"

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

At this moment, he felt as if a mysterious world was slowly opening its doors to him, waiting for his entry.

"Yes."

Colin Yorke nodded, and added, "Not to mention others... The envoy from Mist Hidden Island who came looking for me recently was once a powerful Martial Emperor that shook the Cloud Skies Continent! He had made his name on Cloud Skies Continent when I had just broken through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’ not long before."

Towards the end, Colin Yorke let out a sigh, seemingly reminiscing about his past.

"About that ’Mist Hidden Martial Meet’, since Mist Hidden Island is willing to offer ’Holy Stones’, it is certainly not an ordinary martial meet... Do you know the purpose of Mist Hidden Island?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

Since ’Holy Stones’ are so precious, he didn’t believe Mist Hidden Island would be so generous without a reason; he suspected that there was a big scheme behind this ’Mist Hidden Martial Meet’.

"I haven’t heard about their purpose... but, according to my guess, Mist Hidden Island definitely has its own objectives."

Colin Yorke said.

As a Martial Emperor powerhouse, he was naturally not a simpleton and could easily guess this point.

"Does the ’Mist Hidden Martial Meet’ have any requirements for the participants?"

Wyatt Barnes asked again.

"Yes."

Colin Yorke nodded, "According to the envoy from Mist Hidden Island, those who participate in the ’Mist Hidden Martial Meet’ must be identified with the ’Age Testing Pearl’."

"Below seventy years old?"

Wyatt Barnes had a certain understanding of the Age Testing Pearl and knew that it could test the age of a person up to seventy.

Those over seventy years old cannot be tested.

"Yes."

Colin Yorke nodded again.

Then, the two chatted for a while, and afterwards, Colin Yorke arranged accommodations for Wyatt Barnes, not far from his own residence, it was an independent courtyard on a small stone platform.

Inside the courtyard stood a small house.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, I will do my best to check your ’origin’... However, regarding the matter of the ’Holy Stone’, I hope you don’t spread the word. You must realize, even my direct disciples are unaware of the existence of the ’Holy Stone’."

Colin Yorke said to Wyatt Barnes while sending him to the door of the small house.

"Understood."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, he naturally knew the reason why Colin Yorke concealed the matter of the ’Holy Stone’, which was likely fear that his Martial Emperor disciples would think he was sending them on a hazardous adventure for the ’Holy Stone’.

"In that case, I will take my leave now."

Colin Yorke prepared to leave.

"Wait."

However, Wyatt Barnes stopped him at the right moment.

"What is it? Do you have something else?"

Colin Yorke asked.

"There’s a favor I hope you can do for me."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Speak."

Colin Yorke readily responded.

"Among those who came to participate in the Mystic Profound Peak Martial Emperor disciple selection, there are twin brothers with the surname ’Nangong’... They have already passed the second round of selection, and becoming a Martial Emperor disciple is all but confirmed."

"If possible, I hope you can take care of them a little."

Wyatt Barnes said to Colin Yorke.

"Are they an Elder Brother Ling Tian’s..."

Colin Yorke looked at Wyatt Barnes, but before he could finish his question, Wyatt Barnes interrupted him, "They are my friends."

"If they are friends of Elder Brother Ling Tian, then they are naturally also my friends... Elder Brother Ling Tian, rest assured, I will certainly not neglect them."

Colin Yorke quickly said.
