Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2253: Disappointment
Rising from the bed, opening the door, officially coming out of retreat!
"Daddy, Daddy... Daddy!"
As soon as Wyatt Barnes opened the door, he heard an excited voice coming from ahead, growing closer and closer.
Looking closely, it was his daughter, ’Sienna Barnes’, who noticed him opening the door in the yard and immediately ran toward him with open arms.
Her little face, as if carved from jade, was full of excitement.
"Sienna."
Wyatt smiled as he crouched down to catch the approaching Sienna, and lifted her up in his arms.
Come to think of it, Sienna was already ten years old.
However, since she had hardly interacted with others, let alone peers, her temperament remained pure and carefree.
In Wyatt’s eyes, she was like a ’little princess’.
And in Wyatt’s heart, she was his little princess, unique and irreplaceable!
"Daddy... I feel... you’re somewhat different?"
Sienna blinked her sparkling eyes as she scrutinized Wyatt Barnes, noticing a significant change in the aura emanating from him compared to before. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Before the retreat, Wyatt Barnes was only at the ’Saint Immortal sixth transformation’.
After the retreat, however, Wyatt Barnes had progressed to the ’Saint Immortal seventh transformation’, his aura changed dramatically, and the invisible aura he naturally emitted had changed as well.
Although Sienna hadn’t formally started cultivating.
As a ’black spiritual root’ holder, Sienna possessed a keen sense far beyond ordinary people, and even without cultivation, she could acutely detect the changes in Wyatt Barnes’ aura.
Of course, she didn’t know what kind of aura change it was, she just felt her father gave her a different feeling.
"Daddy has had a breakthrough."
Wyatt Barnes lovingly patted his daughter’s little head, smiling as he spoke.
"Wow! Daddy, you’re amazing!"
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Sienna’s eyes sparkled, "So... Daddy, you’ve now broken through to the Saint Immortal seventh transformation ’Sky Defying Transformation’, and you’ll be able to live forever?"
Wyatt Barnes had told Sienna before about his cultivation being at the ’Saint Immortal sixth transformation’, and had also shared some things about the Saint Immortal seventh transformation ’Sky Defying Transformation’.
So, hearing Sienna say this, it wasn’t a surprise, and he nodded with a smile.
As soon as Wyatt Barnes nodded, Sienna’s delicate, jade-like face suddenly fell, a heavy-hearted demeanor akin to a ’little adult’.
"What’s wrong?"
It was the first time Wyatt Barnes saw his daughter like this, and he couldn’t help but be startled.
Unsure why his daughter was suddenly acting this way.
"Daddy... Sienna wants to cultivate too."
Sienna pouting said, "Sienna also wants to live forever. Otherwise, when Sienna grows old, passes away, Daddy you’ll be so lonely living forever... Sienna wants to accompany Daddy in eternal life."
Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Wyatt Barnes understood the situation.
Warmed by the sentiment, Wyatt smiled and said, "Sienna wants to cultivate, of course you can... but Daddy needs to ask your mother’s opinion first. If she has no objections, Daddy will teach you to cultivate, okay?"
"Daddy, Mommy has no objections... She told me to wait for Daddy to come out of retreat to teach me cultivation."
Sienna giggled as she spoke.
"But we still have to notify your mom."
Wyatt Barnes patted Sienna’s little head lovingly, speaking with affection.
And almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking.
"Brother Leandro, you’re out of retreat?"
With a gentle, melodious voice filled with surprise coming from nearby, another beautiful woman emerged from the room adjacent to Wyatt Barnes’.
It was ’Keer’.
Keer, who came out of her room after hearing the movement.
"Yes."
Seeing Keer, the affection in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes turned into a gentle tenderness, like water capable of dissolving all.
"Mom, Daddy agreed to teach me cultivation."
Sienna waved at Keer while excitedly calling her.
Before Keer could respond, Wyatt Barnes spoke, "I was just thinking that Sienna is now ten... if she wants to cultivate herself, there’s no harm."
"However, it primarily depends on your opinion. If you think it’s okay, I’ll teach her. If you don’t, then we’ll wait another two years."
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Sienna couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned, and after recovering, her shimmering eyes began to pool with mist, "Daddy, what are you saying? Didn’t you promise me before?"
At this moment, Sienna looked about to cry, appearing even more pitiable.
"Daddy did promise you just now, but it requires your mother’s consent... If your mom doesn’t agree, Daddy wouldn’t dare to teach you."
Seeing Sienna’s expressions, Wyatt Barnes felt heartache, smiling as he patted her little head.
His daughter was raised by Keer.
Toward Keer, he always felt deep guilt, so in matters of his daughter’s cultivation, he’s inclined to seek Keer’s opinion rather than decide alone.
Of course, even without this reason, he wouldn’t presume to decide alone.
After all, his daughter wasn’t just his, she belongs to both him and Keer.
As the mother of their daughter, Keer has the right to express her opinion, and even Wyatt Barnes would never revoke this!
"Mom..."
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Sienna Barnes immediately realized that the ’decision-making power’ was still with her mother. She once again gazed at her mother, pouting with a hint of grievance and said, "You promised Sienna before, you can’t go back on it."
At this moment, Keer had already approached Wyatt Barnes and his daughter.
"Brother Leandro, I’ll listen to you."
Keer said to Wyatt Barnes, displaying a look of ’being a supportive spouse.’
The words Wyatt had just spoken showed his care and respect for her, making her feel warm inside.
Thus, the decision was made:
To let Sienna Barnes begin her cultivation.
"Keer, how long did I spend in secluded meditation for cultivation this time?"
Once he finally remembered the ’main matter,’ Wyatt Barnes looked at Keer and asked.
"Twenty days."
Keer replied.
"Only twenty days?"
Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. He thought that even if he hadn’t spent a month in seclusion this time, it must have been over twenty-five days...
He hadn’t expected it to only be twenty days.
"Keer, I’m planning to go out for a bit... I’ll be back in at most an hour."
After finding out how long he had cultivated in seclusion, Wyatt Barnes looked at Keer again and informed her.
Soon after, Wyatt Barnes spend some time soothing his daughter, entrusting her to Keer, then left the inn under the Crimson Flame Palace, one of the three palaces and six halls of the Human Demon Clan.
The ’reason’ for Wyatt’s departure was singular:
He wanted to test his current strength, to see what level he had reached!
After all, though he had successfully stepped into the seventh transformation of a Saint Immortal, the Sky Defying Transformation, he still had no concrete idea of how much his overall strength had improved or reached...
Before testing, even the wildest guesses might not be accurate!
After leaving the inn, Wyatt Barnes departed from the Human Demon Holy City. About a quarter of an hour later, he reached a vast and desolate desert.
Standing above the desert, Wyatt Barnes extended his Divine Sense, unable to detect a single hint of life.
Essentially, not only was there no one around, but there were no other signs of life.
Even the Spiritual Energy was extremely sparse.
"My current Sun Saint Yuan..."
In a single thought, the Sun Saint Yuan within Wyatt Barnes surged and roared out through the ninety-nine Saint Veins, instantly flooding out and revealing a majestic and boundless aura.
It was as if an ancient beast lurking in Wyatt Barnes’s body had awakened!
The number of Saint Veins in one’s body directly influences the speed at which internal strength can be mobilized.
The more Saint Veins, the faster one can mobilize internal strength.
Conversely, the fewer the Saint Veins, the slower the mobilization.
However, because the power level of the secular plane is so low, secular people are far less reliant on Saint Veins compared to those from heavenly planes.
Of course, in heavenly planes, they are not called ’Saint Veins.’
They are called ’Heavenly Veins!’
"Minor Devouring Technique!"
After mobilizing the Sun Saint Yuan within himself, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t idle. His first move was to cast the auxiliary Divine Ability "Minor Devouring Technique," devouring the sparse Spiritual Energy in the surroundings.
After swallowing all the Spiritual Energy around him, Wyatt Barnes moved immediately, choosing a different location.
There was no choice but to change locations.
Staying in the same spot might still allow the continued swallowing of Spiritual Energy, but the efficiency would be greatly reduced.
By shifting to a location rich in Spiritual Energy, he could once again devour Spiritual Energy at maximum speed.
Change location!
Continue to devour!
Change location!
Continue to devour!
...
After repeating this cycle several times, spending over ten breaths, Wyatt Barnes’s Sun Saint Yuan was finally elevated to its peak.
However, the Sun Saint Yuan improved to its peak did not bring Wyatt Barnes any ’pleasant surprise.’
Not only was there no surprise, but it was somewhat disappointing.
"Still the same as before... Could this be the so-called ’bottleneck’ Elder Fire mentioned before crossing a tribulation?"
Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brow, murmuring to himself in a bit of frustration.
Currently, his internal Sun Saint Yuan, raised to its peak, had almost the same effect from the Minor Devouring Technique as before he broke through to the seventh transformation of a Saint Immortal, neither weaker nor stronger.
It seemed he had encountered a difficult ’bottleneck.’
"Elder Fire mentioned before... For those at the ninth transformation of a Saint Immortal, their internal Saint Origin will hit a ’bottleneck’ before they successfully cross the tribulation. And this bottleneck can only be overcome after successfully crossing the tribulation!"
Recalling Elder Fire’s previous words had him smiling bitterly again.
