CHAPTER 1719: CHAPTER 1719: HEAVENLY PALACE

"The Heavenly Palace is the ’primary hall’ within the Mysterious Void Prefecture. Now that you’ve come to the Heavenly Palace, I can’t promise too much... but if you can stand out here, I guarantee you will obtain more than in the other halls! On this point, I believe the other three Vice Hall Masters won’t deny it either."

The Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace said to Wyatt Barnes and glanced at the other three Vice Hall Masters.

Seeing that the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace had spoken, the three Vice Hall Masters could only smile bitterly.

The Vice Hall Master of the Mystic Palace, ’Jalen Field’, couldn’t help but quip, "Old Xiao, that’s not fair... The Heavenly Palace already has ten spots, and now you want to monopolize the most outstanding Saint Realm talents too?"

The Mysterious Void Prefecture consists of the Heavenly, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow Palaces, with the Heavenly Palace being the foremost.

The strongest in the Heavenly Palace are numerous, and they have the best cultivation resources.

Therefore, in many areas, the other three palaces can’t compare with the Heavenly Palace.

Of course, though the Heavenly Palace is good, the competition is fiercer. Perhaps with your strength and talent, you may not receive the best treatment here but can in the other three palaces.

So, for those who are confident, the Heavenly Palace is undoubtedly the best choice.

For the average person, the other three palaces are the best choice.

"If you are willing to give Wyatt, her, and him to the Heavenly Palace, you can have the others."

The Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace looked at Wyatt Barnes, then at the female disciple from Tyrant Saber Manor, and finally at the young loose cultivator who was last eliminated under pressure.

The three he named were undoubtedly the three most outstanding talents among the thirty-seven Saint Realm talents this time.

So, after the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace said this, the Vice Hall Masters of the other three palaces all shut their mouths, not responding.

What a joke!

If they could recruit these three most outstanding talents, they wouldn’t mind having only three spots.

Actually, even before the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace spoke, Wyatt Barnes was already tempted.

Indeed, the Heavenly Palace was his best choice.

"Vice Hall Master Green, my apologies."

Thus, when faced with Green Graham’s invitation, Wyatt could only apologize.

"No problem, even if you don’t join the Earth Palace, as long as you’re in the Mysterious Void Prefecture, you’re still one of us."

Faced with a Saint Realm talent like Wyatt Barnes, even Green Graham, Vice Hall Master of the Earth Palace, dared not overlook him.

With Wyatt’s talent and strength, as long as he doesn’t fall prematurely, he will surely become a backbone of the Mysterious Void Prefecture, and competing for the role of House Master in the future isn’t out of the question.

As for becoming the Master of one of the four palaces, if his talent remains consistent, it’s almost guaranteed.

Seeing Wyatt expressing his intention to join the Heavenly Palace, the Vice Hall Masters of the Mystic Palace and the Yellow Palace couldn’t help but smile wryly, while the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace beamed with joy.

Since Wyatt Barnes was out of reach, Green Graham could only turn his attention to the female disciple of Tyrant Saber Manor.

"If I’m not mistaken, you must be the granddaughter of the House Master of the Tyrant Saber Manor, ’Ebba King’?"

Green Graham asked.

"Yes."

Hearing Green Graham’s voice, Ebba King sheepishly retracted her gaze from Wyatt Barnes and turned to Green Graham.

"I’ve heard about you long ago."

Green Graham smiled, "Speaking of which, your grandfather and I share a bond... Why not come to the Earth Palace?"

From Green Graham’s perspective, since he had said this much, surely Ebba King would be willing to join the Earth Palace.

But as soon as he finished speaking, before Ebba King could reply, the Vice Hall Master of the Mystic Palace Jalen Field began to intervene, "Young lady, in terms of friendship with your grandfather, Green Graham can’t compete with me... I’m sure your grandfather mentioned me to you, right?"

"Vice Hall Master Jalen Field, my grandfather often speaks of you."

Ebba King nodded.

"Haha..."

Hearing Ebba King’s words, Jalen Field laughed heartily, a look of ’just as expected’ plastered on his face, "Since that’s the case, you should come to the Mystic Palace. With your talent and strength, and in consideration of your grandfather, I absolutely won’t treat you poorly."

"Old Man Field, isn’t that a bit much?"

Green Graham frowned in dissatisfaction.

In terms of friendship, he’d only met the House Master of Tyrant Saber Manor once, but Jalen Field was truly a friend of the House Master; in this regard, he really had no advantage.

"Hehe."

Seeing Green Graham’s discontent, Jalen Field laughed, not the least apologetic.

However, his smile soon froze.

Because Ebba King’s voice came at the perfect time, reaching his ears, "Vice House Master Field, originally, considering your friendship with my grandfather, I planned to choose the Mystic Palace and receive more care... But now, I’ve made a choice, and unfortunately, it’s not the Mystic Palace, sorry."

Not the Mystic Palace!

These four words were like thunder to Jalen Field’s ears.

"Haha..."

Seeing Jalen Field stunned, Green Graham couldn’t help but laugh, "Old Man Field, surprised, aren’t you? The King family’s girl is sincere; since I invited her first, she’s ultimately decided to forsake your Mystic Palace and join our Earth Palace."

"Hmph!"

Jalen Field cast a cool glance at Green Graham, snorting softly. Green Graham’s words were tantamount to rubbing salt in his wound.

"Vice Hall Master Graham, you might have misunderstood. I never intended to go to the Earth Palace... I want to go to the ’Heavenly Palace’."

As she spoke, Ebba King glanced at Wyatt Barnes, making Wyatt feel a chill down his spine.

This fierce young lady, is she going to the Heavenly Palace just because he went there?

It’s no wonder Wyatt suspected this, as Ebba King kept looking at him while making this decision.

Even when it came to the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace, Ebba didn’t spare him a glance.

"Hahahaha... Graham, Ebba isn’t going to your Earth Palace. You were being too self-assured just now, weren’t you? How did I not realize before how thick-skinned you are?"

This time, it was Jalen Field’s turn to laugh, leaving Green Graham with a face full of embarrassment.

Just now, he saw Ebba King reject Jalen Field and thought she was coming to his Earth Palace, only to realize he had misread the situation.

"The Heavenly Palace welcomes you."

The Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace smiled gently as Ebba King voluntarily joined them and cast a meaningful glance at Wyatt Barnes, noticing that Ebba seemed interested in this Saint Stage Genius called ’Wyatt’.

Ebba King was someone he had heard of before, knowing she was young but already a Middle Saint Realm Martial Artist, not far from the Middle Saint Realm’s mid-stage.

Such talent could place her among the top ten of the younger generation in the Heavenly Palace.

"That Wyatt is even stronger than Ebba King... His cultivation level is at least at mid-stage Middle Saint Realm or higher! In our Mysterious Void Mansion, there are only three people under forty at the Middle Saint Realm mid-stage; he’s the fourth."

The Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace glanced at Wyatt Barnes and thought quietly.

Frustrated, the Vice Hall Master of the Earth Palace, ’Green Graham,’ fixed his gaze on the unaffiliated youth who had been eliminated last, "You don’t want to go to the Heavenly Palace too, do you?"

"The Heavenly Palace is indeed good, but I think the Earth Palace suits me better."

Although the loose cultivator youth had an ordinary appearance, his smile was charming, giving others a pleasant feeling.

In his view, with his talent and strength, while he could gain resources in the Heavenly Palace, it wouldn’t be as exaggerated as for Wyatt and Ebba King.

He understood the saying ’better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.’

"Haha... Good! The Earth Palace welcomes you."

Upon hearing this, Green Graham burst into laughter and gave Jalen Field a provocative look. Although Jalen was jealous, he decided not to bother with Graham after noticing it.

Unlike Wyatt Barnes, Ebba King, and the unaffiliated youth, the remaining thirty-four Saint Realm geniuses under forty had almost no choice and were directly divided among the four palaces.

"Huh?"

Wyatt Barnes stood behind the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace, next to Ebba King. As he glanced around, he noticed two familiar faces among the ten people in the Heavenly Palace.

One of them was none other than ’Enoch Mullins,’ the nephew of the Tyrant Saber Manor’s Second Elder, Castiel Mullins.

The other was a young genius from Teng Yue Mansion who had come with Vice House Master Donovan Tasker.

"If there’s a chance, I’ll lend them a hand. It would be a way to repay the favor to Vice House Master Tasker and Elder Mullins..."

Wyatt thought to himself.

He still felt a hint of guilt when he recalled the time he ’stood them up.’

Both Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins had supported him significantly during the Overleaping Rankings’ ranking battles, and he owed them, which was why he felt guilty.

"Disciples of each palace, follow your Vice Hall Masters back to your respective palaces. As for others, leave our Mysterious Void Mansion premises. In a quarter of an hour, patrolling disciples will start expelling people. To avoid accidental injuries, please try to leave within the quarter-hour."

The Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace glanced at the group on the ground and said.

The group on the ground consisted of the personal friends and family of some Saint Realm geniuses who had come with them. Upon hearing the Vice Hall Master’s words, they turned and left.

"Hey! The one called Wyatt, are you an unaffiliated cultivator? Why don’t I see any of your friends or family?"

Suddenly, a light voice came to Wyatt Barnes’ ear, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, causing Wyatt to momentarily feel a flutter in his heart.

"Yes."

Recognizing it as Ebba King’s voice, Wyatt nodded.

"You unaffiliated cultivators are truly extraordinary... First, there was Eden Lee, and now there’s you, another monster! I just can’t understand how, without a power to rely on, you’ve reached this stage of cultivation."

Ebba King sighed.

Eden Lee?

Hearing Ebba’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but twitch his lips slightly.

"What? You don’t know Eden Lee?"

Ebba King asked.

"Of course I do. In fact, he’s my friend."

Wyatt smiled slightly as he spoke.

"What?!"

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Ebba King’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief, "You... you said Eden Lee is your friend?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

Wyatt nodded, a mischievous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Eden Lee’s friend?"

Although Wyatt spoke softly, many around him heard it, and their gazes fell on Wyatt Barnes.
