Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 172: Stasis Origin Pill

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Stasis Origin Pill

Wyatt Barnes gazed up at the night sky, with countless stars adorning his view.

"Could these stars also be planets? According to Reincarnation Martial Emperor’s memories, the Cloud Skies Continent is boundless... Its extreme corners are covered by a vast sea, limitless and infinite."

"The Reincarnation Martial Emperor once ventured out to the sea, desiring to explore its true nature, only to realize that the vast sea seems to have no end. Fearing to lose his way, he did not venture any further..."

A memory of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor flashed in Wyatt Barnes’ mind.

That is to say, the Reincarnation Martial Emperor had not deeply explored this vast universe.

"Perhaps, the Cloud Skies Continent where I am now, connected with the endless sea, is also a ’planet’."

Wyatt guessed in his heart.

At this moment, he made a great ambition.

In the future, if he could reach the peak of the Cloud Skies Continent, he would take his family to explore this vast universe...

He wanted to see if this place was also a planet!

Based on his estimate, if this was a planet, it would definitely be countless times larger than Earth.

The speed at the peak of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor was countless times faster than the ’planes’ on Earth in his previous life...

If the speed of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor were applied to Earth, he could circle the Earth in the blink of an eye.

"If the land beneath my feet is truly a planet..."

Wyatt’s gaze settled on the distant stars, intrigued, "Which of these planets would be Earth?"

Earth, his homeland.

There, he held countless memories...

If there were a chance for him to return, he would. Not for anything else, only to grind the ’agent’ who betrayed him into dust!

Although to a certain extent, he still needed to thank him.

It gave him a more exciting life!

Nonetheless, one must still settle what needs settling...

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"

Keer’s silver-bell-like voice brought Wyatt back to his senses. He smiled slightly, "I was thinking... Can there be humans like us living among those stars..."

"Young Master, why would you think that? If there were people on those stars, they would surely have fallen off by now."

Keer also looked up at the stars in the nightly sky, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, a face full of innocence.

Wyatt twitched the corners of his mouth.

What could he say?

Should he explain to Keer what ’gravitational force’ is?

At that moment, Jovie Lee also looked at the stars in the night sky, her eyes slightly congealed, as if she was lost in thought.

While Wyatt was enjoying the moon and stargazing with his two future daughters-in-law, at the entrance of the Simmons Clan’s mansion, two figures were stepping in, one after the other.

The one in the front was a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties.

Following behind him was a man in his twenties, clad in red, stoic-faced and unsheathing a long sword. His cold eyes sparkled slightly.

A moment later.

"Grand Elder, Walter Simmons has arrived."

The youth leading the way spoke respectfully in front of a spacious courtyard.

"Let him in."

An old and weary voice echoed from inside.

The cold young man in red, holding the sword, was Walter Simmons.

There was a complex glimmer in Walter’s eyes, but in the end, he stepped into the courtyard.

The spacious courtyard harbored an old figure standing like a mountain, whose penetrating gaze fell on Walter...

Walter stood quietly after entering, without saying a word.

"How’s your father doing lately?"

The Grand Elder of the Simmons Clan, South Simmons, focused his gaze on Walter, and asked slowly.

"He’s fine, eats well, sleeps soundly."

Walter answered composedly, seemingly disinclined to chat with South, "You called me here, what’s the matter just say it."

South Simmons casually replied, "I still remember, your father was once a sword cultivator. His ’Shadowless Sword’ technique was rarely matched among our clan’s generation... It’s a pity, he was too arrogant and dared to challenge the shining star of the Barnes family, ’Lanni Barnes’. The result is not only a broken sword, but also an incurable internal injury that prevents him from mobilizing the Origin Force inside his body."

"I heard that you and Lanni Barnes’ son ’Wyatt Barnes’ have a good relationship...even friends... Why don’t you harbour any resentment towards the son of the person who caused your father such harm?"

As he said this, South Simmons’ eyes became sharper, as if capable of piercing through anything.

"Why should I resent?"

Walter answered calmly, "If you called me here just to sow discord... then don’t waste your effort."

His father, although defeated by Lanni Barnes and left with serious injuries, never held any grudges against Lanni.

Indeed.

Every time his father mentioned ’Lanni Barnes’, he had genuine respect.

Although far away, his father was distraught for some time when he learned of Lanni Barnes’ disappearance.

At that time, although he was young, he remembered it clearly.

Influenced by his father from a young age, naturally, he would not hold a grudge against Lanni.

Moreover, wasn’t his father’s departure from the Simmons Clan and the Imperial City because of a bunch of ’villains’ from the Simmons Clan?

If he were to hold a grudge, he would have a grudge against the Simmons Clan!

"Hmph! Just like your father, you are stubborn!"

South Simmons’ face turned grim.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."

Walter Simmons’ eyes narrowed, a flash of coldness flickered and disappeared, the hand clutching his sword tightened a bit. His greatest admiration in life has always been his father, whom he would not allow others to disrespect.

"Since this is the case, I’ll be frank with you... you take this first."

South Simmons raised his hand, throwing Walter Simmons a small jade bottle.

Walter Simmons frowned. He could see that it was a medicine bottle, but he didn’t think South Simmons would be kind enough to gift him medicine.

"This is a ’Stasis Origin Pill’."

South Simmons slowly spoke.

Walter Simmons’ face changed.

He naturally knew what the Stasis Origin Pill was. While it was not a poison, if a martial artist below the Original Pill Realm took it, his Origin Force would be suppressed by the medicine. For ten hours, he would not be able to mobilize his Origin Force.

Even consuming the smallest amount would suppress the Origin Force for a minimum of half an hour.

At this moment, Walter Simmons understood South Simmons’ intention, "You want me to give this Stasis Origin Pill to Wyatt Barnes?"

"You’re quite smart..."

South Simmons’ eyes flickered and he slowly said, "I know you consider him a friend. Hence, I won’t force you to kill him... You only need to let him take the ’Stasis Origin Pill’ while he’s having his meal, even a tiny bit would do. At that time, our Simmons Clan disciples at the Sacred Martial Arts Academy will make the move."

"You think that’s possible?"

Walter Simmons sneered, raising his hand intending to throw away the medicine bottle in his hand.

"If you throw away this Stasis Origin Pill, there will be no room for negotiation."

South Simmons’ face darkened as he coldly spoke.

"Oh, so you’re threatening me?"

Do you think I, Walter Simmons, would betray my friends just to save my own life?"

Walter Simmons let out a disdainful smile.

He would rather die than betray his friends, let alone harm their lives.

South Simmons’ eyes narrowed as he slowly said: "Correct, you’re just like your father was back then. However, you have no choice. The location of your parents’ home in Flow Wind City’s ’Martial Tomb Town’ is already known by our Simmons Clan... I’m giving you two days. Within these two days, if you do not let that Wyatt Barnes consume the Stasis Origin Pill, I will send someone by warhorse to Martial Tomb Town, to end your parents’ lives!"

Walter Simmons’ face turned pale.

His dad, though not weak, was unable to use his Origin Force due to an old injury.

His mum was just an ordinary woman, even less skilled than him.

"Despicable!"

Walter Simmons had never imagined that the Grand Elder of the Simmons Clan, ’South Simmons’, would stoop so low as to threaten him with his parents’ lives.

"Your parents’ lives are in your hands... make your choice wisely!"

South Simmons gave a faint smile, motioning Walter to leave as if he was sure of his decision.

Walter took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, his mind battling between his ideals and his reality...

In the end, he still left with the medicine bottle containing the ’Stasis Origin Pill’, leaving the Simmons mansion.

The following morning came.

After breakfast, like usual, Wyatt Barnes took his two small pythons and headed to the Sacred Martial Arts Academy.

The events of the previous day were obviously suppressed by the Sacred Martial Arts Academy and did not spread. The ’Star System’ students in the classroom did not regard Wyatt Barnes with any unusual looks.

The morning passed quietly.

At noon, Wyatt Barnes and a few others once again gathered in the dining hall for lunch.

"Eh, Walter, why do you look so awful?"

Wyatt Barnes noticed Walter’s unusual expression and asked.

"I don’t know what’s gotten into this guy, he’s been wearing a long face since early this morning."

Tiggi Field shook his head.

"It’s nothing."

Walter shook his head under the concerned eyes of Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair.

Soon, the food was served, along with a jug of wine.

"Thinking about yesterday’s events makes me excited, let’s drink up..."

Tiggi Field laughed while reaching out for the wine jug.

Bang!

Walter raised his hand, pushing away Tiggi’s hand and grabbed the jug of wine first.

"The sun must have risen from the west today; you’re actually serving us wine."

Tiggi Field said in disbelief.

"If it weren’t for you guys showing up in time yesterday, Roman would have ruined my cultivation..."

Walter muttered.

"No need to be so formal, we’re all friends."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and laughed, "Walter, when did you become so sentimental? Come on, pour the wine quickly."

At a table not far away, two young men were sitting together.

"It looks like Walter’s going to make his move today."

"Hmph! He calls himself a ’friend’, but still betrays. That Wyatt Barnes probably won’t even realize that his ’good friend’ has drugged him."

The two young men whispered in a voice only they could hear.

"Although, once we’ve eliminated Wyatt Barnes, we’ll have to leave the Sacred Martial Arts Academy."

"Even if we leave, the benefits promised by Grand Elder are enough for us to live without worries..."
