Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1365 Hill Mountain City

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365 Hill Mountain City

Throughout the journey, Wyatt Barnes gained some understanding of "Hill Mountain City".

Hill Mountain City is a large coastal city to the west of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, under the rule of a powerful sect...

The region surrounding Hill Mountain City is governed by the administration of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

That includes Jade Trust Town, the hometown of Jemma Clifford, which is on Jade Trust Island.

"Wyatt Barnes, is your mortal continent fun?"

On the way, Jemma Clifford asked Wyatt Barnes excitedly about all sorts of matters relating to the mortal continent...

Having learned about Wyatt Barnes’s power that surpasses the entire mortal continent, she was filled with longing for it.

"Your mortal continent must be much more fun than our Martial Dao Sacred Land... Take me for example, I’ve never left the vicinity of Hill Mountain City my whole life."

Jemma Clifford said somewhat despondently.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, strong cultivators are as common as clouds, Martial Artists at the Transcending Mortal Realm are everywhere, numerous as dogs.

For this reason, an existence in Transcending Mortal Realm wouldn’t dare to wander off carelessly... If unlucky, they could be killed by someone. And when people die, they lose everything.

"Each has its own merits, I guess."

Wyatt Barnes chuckled: "Just like how I, in our Cloud Skies Continent, have never seen anyone younger than me with power comparable to mine... You’re only twenty-seven years old, a mid-stage Martial Artist in the Transcending Mortal Realm. Such a thing is unimaginable in our Cloud Skies Continent."

"That’s because the cultivation environment is different... I’ve heard that your mortal continent doesn’t have Holy Stone mines, right?"

Jemma Clifford asked.

"Mhm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded his head.

"That’s right... Did you know that even our Jade Trust Town has three Holy Stone mines? The Clifford Family occupies one of them; Mandy Wood’s Wood Family occupies another one; and there’s another family that holds one as well."

Jemma Clifford said: "The three major families of Jade Trust Town, by the standards of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, are just barely within the stream of influence... Mere ninth tier forces."

"Ninth tier forces?"

Wyatt Barnes uttered, feeling speechless.

Such a weak force still possesses Holy Stone mines?

"Hasn’t anyone tried to rob your family’s Holy Stone mines?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"There isn’t much to rob... The three Holy Stone mines of our Jade Trust Town are merely ninth grade Holy Stone mines... The usual output are ninth grade Holy Stones, with the occasional lucky yield of an eighth grade Holy Stone."

Jemma Clifford remarked.

Holy Stones are classified by grades, as Wyatt Barnes had previously heard from Julia.

Holy Stones have nine grades in total.

Grade nine is the lowest, grade one is the highest.

One grade one Holy Stone is equivalent to ten grade two Holy Stones, which is worth a hundred grade three Holy Stones, a thousand grade four Holy Stones... and so on.

Grade nine Holy Stones are the poorest quality Holy Stones.

The Holy Stones that appear in the best original stone mines of the two ancient clans of the Cloud Skies Continent, as well as those from the best original stone mines of the four oceanic Holy Islands, are only ’ninth grade Holy Stones’.

However, the stones given to him by Julia were of much higher quality.

Gradually, Wyatt Barnes also learned some information about the ’Martial Dao Sacred Land’ from Jemma Clifford.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, forces that do not have more than three ’Transcending Mortal Realm Great Perfection’ experts stationed at them are considered insignificant...

And the three major families of Jade Trust Town that Jemma Clifford belongs to, each with three Transcending Mortal Realm Great Perfection experts stationed, are considered to have just made it into the stream of influence due to the absence of an Entering the Saint Realm expert, thus they are still regarded as ninth tier forces.

"Has any member of your three major families ever emerged as an ’Entering the Saint Realm expert’?"

Wyatt Barnes asked curiously.

"It’s quite rare."

Jemma Clifford said: "Don’t look at Mandy Wood and me as having the potential to break through to ’Entering the Saint Realm’... Whether we can successfully break through to ’Entering the Saint Realm’ is uncertain."

"Not to mention other things, just among our three major families of Jade Trust Town, none would allow the emergence of an ’Entering the Saint Realm’ existence within their own family. I am twenty-seven years old and have faced no less than a hundred assassination attempts from the other two major families."

As she spoke this, Jemma Clifford sighed, seemingly a bit weary, "Mandy Wood faces the same situation as me."

"Therefore, when we learned that there was an opportunity to join the administration of Hill Mountain City... both Mandy Wood and I were very happy. Unfortunately..."

Before Jemma Clifford could finish speaking, Wyatt Barnes understood that she meant it was a pity for Mandy Wood.

In some respects, Jemma Clifford and Mandy Wood empathized with each other.

"Now that you’ve joined Hill Mountain City, you should be able to break through to ’Entering the Saint Realm’ smoothly,"

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile.

However, Jemma Clifford shook her head, "In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, there are many people with the talent to break through to ’Entering the Saint Realm’... but those who can actually make it smoothly to ’Entering the Saint Realm’, if even one in ten succeeds, that would be considered good."

"Not to mention those with the talent for breaking through to the Saint Realm, the journey is difficult... the dangers faced during this process are enough to end many lives prematurely."

Jemma Clifford revealed a touch of bleakness in her words.

While Wyatt Barnes had a sudden realization, a solemn feeling weighed on his heart as he grasped the ’cruelty’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

"In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, if you want to survive well... you must have an adequately strong fist."

At this time, Damien Lynch also spoke to Wyatt Barnes.

A powerful fist is the ultimate truth!

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, where the strong are revered, the law of the jungle is even more pronounced than in the mortal continent.

"Elder Fire, do you have any ’mental secret techniques’ in your possession that can probe someone else’s age?"

Before he knew it, Wyatt Barnes thought back to the incident where Mandy Wood discovered his age and couldn’t help but ask Elder Fire who was in the Jewel Tower.

He figured that with Elder Fire having lived for so long, he should have such secret techniques.

"A mental secret technique for probing someone else’s age is just low-tier child’s play... If you want to learn, I can instantly transmit a set of top-tier secret techniques to you. As long as you are not trying to probe someone whose cultivation is a full major realm higher than your own, it’s a secret technique that won’t be detected."

Elder Fire said.

"As long as it is not an attempt to investigate someone who is a whole realm higher than oneself, this secret technique will not be detected?"

Upon hearing Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes lit up with anticipation, "Elder Fire, quickly pass it on to me."

"The secret technique I am passing on to you is called ’Heavenly Eye’... In the future, once you develop the ’Saint Veins’ that connect both eyes, its power will be even greater."

As Elder Fire’s voice reached him, Wyatt Barnes found that his mind was filled with a wealth of information about the ’Heavenly Eye’.

The Heavenly Eye is an auxiliary secret technique.

Its main function is to investigate others’ cultivation and age.

As long as one can project their spiritual power outward, it is very easy to master.

After spending just half an hour, Wyatt Barnes had completely mastered the ’Heavenly Eye’... After mastering it, naturally, he wanted to test it out.

His first target was Jemma Clifford.

Wyatt Barnes looked at Jemma Clifford, his eyes focusing and his spiritual power softly extending from between his eyes, instantly appearing around Jemma Clifford’s body but not touching her.

And at that moment, a flash passed before Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, deciding to first investigate Jemma Clifford’s age, he saw rings of lines appearing on her body.

"Why... Why are there lines on her body?"

Wyatt Barnes asked in confusion.

"Trees have annual rings, and so do humans... What you see now are a person’s age rings," Elder Fire responded.

"Human age rings?"

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes started counting the age rings on Jemma Clifford and soon found that there were twenty-seven rings... Jemma Clifford was twenty-seven years old.

"Truly miraculous!"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but marvel internally; throughout this process, Jemma Clifford was completely unaware.

Next, Wyatt Barnes investigated Jemma Clifford’s cultivation.

Mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm!

"I wonder if Elder Lynch is in the ’Entering the Saint Realm’... If he is, and I rashly investigate him, he would definitely notice."

Wyatt Barnes glanced at Damien Lynch, feeling somewhat conflicted.

"No matter!"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Wyatt Barnes started to investigate Damien Lynch.

The first thing he looked into was cultivation.

"Great Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm?"

After investigating Damien Lynch’s cultivation, Wyatt Barnes let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party was not in the ’Entering the Saint Realm,’ otherwise, he would have been discovered.

"Elder Lynch’s age..."

Then, he started to investigate Damien Lynch’s age, "Fifty-eight rings... Elder Lynch is fifty-eight years old."

Soon, Wyatt Barnes also found out Damien Lynch’s age.

"Up ahead is the Martial Dao Sacred Land."

Suddenly, Damien Lynch spoke up as a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes looked forward, only to see a vast landmass beyond the sea horizon, "This is the Martial Dao Sacred Land?"

About to step onto the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Wyatt Barnes felt a surge of excitement.

"Once we land on the Martial Dao Sacred Land, a half-hour journey will take us to Hill Mountain City," Damien Lynch continued.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Soon, the trio set foot on the Martial Dao Sacred Land... The vast Martial Dao Sacred Land, near the seaside, was lush and verdant, the air fresh.

Half an hour later, a small black dot appeared in Wyatt Barnes’ field of vision.

"That is Hill Mountain City ahead."

On hearing Jemma Clifford’s reminder, Wyatt Barnes focused his eyes.

Simultaneously, the distant black dot grew increasingly larger within his line of sight.

Before long, it turned into a vast and magnificent city.

This city was somewhat exaggeratedly large.

At least, Wyatt Barnes had never seen such a large city on the Cloud Skies Continent.

"Hill Mountain City!"

From afar, Hill Mountain City resembled a colossal beast, opening its gaping mouth, swallowing carts and pedestrians alike into its belly...

From a distance, it gave off a strong sense of visual oppression.

"Eh? Why is nobody flying into it?"

Quickly, Wyatt Barnes noticed this anomaly.

"Above Hill Mountain City, a ’Forbidden Flight Formation’ that covers the entire city has been laid out. It is a ’Taoist Formation’ set up by a powerful Taoist Cultivator... As long as the formation is active, Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators below the Saint Realm cannot fly within the city," Damien Lynch patiently explained upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ question.

"I see."

Wyatt Barnes had an epiphany.

Shortly after, the trio landed outside Hill Mountain City.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to walk into the city, he noticed Damien Lynch raising his hand and taking out a vehicle.

It was a four-wheeled carriage, similar to many others Wyatt Barnes had seen entering the city.
