CHAPTER 1800: CHAPTER 1800: ASKING WINTY LANDON FOR HELP

"Moreover, even if they do break through to the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’, they can act in a passive capacity... For instance, if they are defending powers under their control and someone tries to harm those powers, as long as they are under a hundred years old, they can fight back."

Augustine Landon said.

"But... Brother Augustine, didn’t you say earlier that those in the Heavenly Saint Realm cannot make a move in the ’Lower Domain’? And you didn’t mention they could defend themselves passively..."

Wyatt Barnes was puzzled, becoming more confused about the ’rules’ that the first-class powers of the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land impose on the Heavenly Saint Realm experts of the Lower Domain.

"Generally, Heavenly Saint Realm experts indeed can’t even defend themselves... However, there are exceptions! Any Heavenly Saint Realm expert under a hundred years old in the Lower Domain, apart from initiating an attack, has the right to defend themselves passively... Moreover, those who break through to the Heavenly Saint Realm before the age of a hundred are usually drawn into the first-class powers of the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land by the watchers."

Augustine continued, "For this reason, Heavenly Saint Realm experts under a hundred have ’special privileges’ in the Lower Domain... If they maintain a good relationship with the watchers, even if they make the first move, as long as it’s not excessive, the watchers might just turn a blind eye."

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

It seems that no matter where you are, having ’connections’ makes all the difference.

"The leader of the Shadow Mountain black market, and the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... Are they both under a hundred years old?"

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes also realized this issue.

"Yes."

Augustine nodded, a look of admiration on his face, and said, "Whether it’s the leader of the Shadow Mountain black market or the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, both have the potential to enter the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’ before turning a hundred! Such prodigies are rare in the Lower Domain of our Martial Dao Sacred Land."

Before the age of a hundred, entering the Heavenly Saint Realm?

Even Wyatt Barnes had to be astonished.

Although he was confident he could enter the Heavenly Saint Realm before a hundred, and even before turning fifty...

However, the reason for his confidence was mainly because he had the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower in his possession, and the time flow on the third level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower was five times slower than outside!

This was just the third level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower!

Once the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower is repaired, the time flow inside would be eight times slower than outside!

Eight times slower, what’s that concept?

It means that while one day passes outside, eight days have passed inside the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower.

Moreover, according to Elder Fire, the training environment on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower is far superior to that of the third level.

Once the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower is repaired, his cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds!

"The sooner the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower is repaired, the sooner I can break through to the ’Great Saint Realm’ and comprehend ’Divine Ability’... By then, even if I go to the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, I will have the power to protect myself."

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes immediately looked at Augustine and changed the subject, saying, "Brother Augustine, there’s something I’d like to ask you for help with."

"Brother Wyatt, there’s no need for formality between us. Whatever it is, just say it. As long as I, Augustine, can do it, I will accomplish it even if I have to risk life and limb!"

Augustine vowed confidently.

Hearing this, Wyatt Barnes was naturally moved and quickly said, "There’s no need for risking life and limb... I just want Brother Augustine to help me find some materials. If it’s convenient, I also ask Brother Augustine to introduce me to Protector Landon. With Protector Landon’s connections, finding those materials would surely be more efficient."

"Brother Wyatt, you don’t need to be so formal... Whether it’s convenient or not is of no concern! Now, you just follow me to see that old man from my family, even if he’s in seclusion, I’ll call him out."

Augustine cheerfully patted his chest, promising Wyatt Barnes.

"There’s no need for that."

Wyatt Barnes quickly shook his head.

Augustine chuckled, then stood up and beckoned to Wyatt Barnes, saying, "Brother Wyatt, come, follow me to see that old man from my family! He came back with me, so he probably hasn’t had a chance to enter seclusion yet... Furthermore, he’s always wanted to meet you, but just never had the opportunity."

Under Augustine’s guidance, Wyatt Barnes met Winty Landon, who personally came out to welcome him, making him feel flattered.

"You must be Wyatt? Truly a remarkable talent."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes, Winty Landon smiled warmly, lacking any of the airs a protector from the Mysterious Void Mansion should have, "Come inside and have a seat."

The reason Winty Landon was so cordial to Wyatt Barnes was primarily due to the fact that Wyatt was a friend of his son.

Mind you, across the entire Mysterious Void Mansion, his son had very few friends, and a friend like Wyatt Barnes, with whom he could connect deeply, was his only one, Wyatt himself.

Another reason, naturally, was that Wyatt Barnes had given his son a ’great merit’.

Discovering that the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion practiced a top-tier Devil Path cultivation technique was a matter of great importance to the Mysterious Void Mansion. For this, even the House Master personally praised his son and promised their Landon Family branch many benefits.

In every respect, he had no reason to neglect Wyatt Barnes.

"Please, Protector Landon."

While Wyatt Barnes felt flattered, he remained humble and respectful, treating Winty Landon as a junior would.

Seeing this, Winty Landon was very pleased, feeling that his son finally made the right friend.

Of course, he did not put on any airs of being a dignified elder just because Wyatt Barnes showed the respect of a junior. From start to finish, he warmly welcomed Wyatt, acting just like a kind elder.

"Wyatt, in private from now on, you don’t need to call me Protector Landon... Since you are Augustine’s friend, you can just call me ’Uncle Winty’."

Winty Landon personally poured a cup of tea for Wyatt Barnes, and with a smile, spoke to him.

"Uncle Winty."

Wyatt was not an uptight person, so he didn’t refuse. Internally, though, he gained even more respect for Winty Landon—this was an elder worth respecting.

"Father, Junior Brother Wyatt came with me today not just to meet you, but also to ask for your help in finding some special materials."

Seeing Wyatt and Winty Landon exchange pleasantries without mentioning the real matter, Augustine grew anxious for them.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Augustine’s words, Winty Landon looked at Wyatt, "Wyatt, I’m curious to know what materials you need Uncle Winty’s help to find?"

After exchanging a few words, Winty Landon’s way of addressing Wyatt also changed, becoming more intimate.

"Uncle Winty, the materials I need are on here."

Wyatt raised his hand and took out a blueprint with various shapes and descriptions of materials on it, which he had prepared during his recent seclusion.

"For these materials, I hope Uncle Winty can use your network to help me find them. As for how many Holy Stones are needed, just name your price when the time comes."

However, Wyatt hadn’t anticipated that as soon as he finished speaking, both Winty Landon and Augustine’s faces turned slightly somber.

He immediately realized that he had said something wrong.

Sure enough, Augustine was the first to look at Wyatt, speaking seriously, "Junior Brother Wyatt, even though we’ve not known each other for long, we have become close friends at heart. In my mind, I already see you as a dear friend I’ve known for years... Mentioning Holy Stones in front of me feels somewhat distant, don’t you think?"

"Wyatt, Uncle Winty is not lacking for those Holy Stones! To be honest, if it weren’t for you being Augustine’s friend, I wouldn’t help you no matter how many Holy Stones you brought."

Winty Landon also made his position clear.

"Uncle Winty, Brother Augustine, this was my oversight, it was my mistake."

Wyatt quickly apologized, having already realized the problem but unable to take back his words, could only attempt to remedy it as best as he could now.

Upon hearing Wyatt’s apology, Winty Landon and Augustine’s expressions finally softened.

"I will make multiple copies of these materials and use my network to find them... However, some of the materials listed, even I haven’t seen before. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that all of them will be found."

Winty Landon once more looked at the blueprint in his hand, then turned to Wyatt and said.

Though he wished to help Wyatt gather these materials, he couldn’t make any promises due to his unfamiliarity with some of them.

"I understand, Uncle Winty, just do your best."

Wyatt nodded, without expecting Winty Landon to find all the materials for him.

According to Elder Fire, some of these materials were quite rare even in various heavenly dimensions.

With the matter of the materials needed for the fourth layer of the Jewel Tower resolved, Wyatt could finally focus on his cultivation.

As for the matter involving Sky-scraping Mansion’s Junior House Master ’Peace Adams’ and the Devil Path techniques he cultivated, Wyatt neither inquired nor showed interest.

But just because he wasn’t interested, it didn’t mean others shared the same sentiment.

A month later, Wyatt was summoned by House Master ’Ryatt Morgan’ of the Mysterious Void Mansion.

Although this was Wyatt’s second meeting with Ryatt Morgan, the previous encounter had been with many others present, while today it was just the two of them, creating a completely different feeling.

However, despite the different feeling, Wyatt did not feel nervous.

"House Master."

Wyatt proactively greeted Ryatt Morgan, who was seated at the head of the great hall, and just like before, he did not call him ’Sir’.

In response, Ryatt Morgan didn’t mind, inviting Wyatt to sit while casually stating, "Wyatt, regarding the matter of Peace Adams acquiring the Devil Path technique that involves ’Soul Gathering,’ it’s because of your efforts that our Mysterious Void Mansion came to know of it. You deserve the first credit!"

"House Master, did you summon me here for this matter?"

Wyatt couldn’t help but be taken aback.

"Not entirely."

Ryatt Morgan first shook his head, then continued, "I heard that you learned about Peace Adams acquiring the Devil Path technique with Soul Gathering capabilities from your Senior Brother, Eden Lee... And your Senior Brother Eden Lee has already gone to the Upper Domain to find your mentor."

"I presume your mentor now knows about Peace Adams cultivating a top-tier Devil Path technique as well?"
