Chapter 2936: Entering the Autumn Holding Kingdom Royal Palace

"Sienna, Aunt Winnie won’t abandon you!"

Upon hearing Sienna Barnes’ words, Winnie Romero shook her head, her tone unwaveringly firm.

Of course, there was one more thing Winnie Romero didn’t say.

Which is:

If she were to leave Sienna Barnes behind, and it caused harm to Sienna, how would she face Brother Barnes in the future?

Hence, unless she herself died, she would never let anything happen to Sienna Barnes.

"Aunt Winnie..."

Looking at Winnie Romero, tears welled up in Sienna Barnes’ eyes.

Besides Jovie Lee, Winnie Romero, and Sienna Barnes, the other people sent from the Divine Ruin Lands to the secular realm by Ernest Summer were temporarily safe after arriving in the secular realm.

Additionally, because their bodies had undergone the baptism of the Spiritual Energy in the Divine Ruin Lands, they had obtained significant fortune to a certain extent.

Now, their cultivation speed was far beyond what it had been in the past.

Some of them have even crossed the heavenly tribulation, awaiting ascension...

Wyatt Barnes knew nothing of this.

Currently, Wyatt Barnes still believes that his family, his friends, and relatives are imprisoned in the Divine Ruin Lands.

Thus, he eagerly desires to elevate his cultivation swiftly so that in a thousand years, he would have the ability to enter the Divine Ruin Lands to rescue them.

Spiritual Heaven, South Heaven’s Borderlands.

Mystic Abyss Mansion, Autumn Holding Kingdom.

"Sir, it’s about time."

Outside a guest room in an inn in the Capital City, a middle-aged man stood there, his voice infused with Immortal Origin Force, resonating within the room.

Instantly, a ripple of force spread from the room, seemingly resonating.

A moment later, the force within the room dissipated, and the guest room door creaked open, revealing a figure at the entrance.

An exceptionally handsome young man, dressed in purple, with an outstanding demeanor, stood there, instantly becoming the focal point.

"Let’s go."

The young man in purple was Wyatt Barnes, who had been in secluded cultivation for a whole month. After stepping out, he glanced at the middle-aged man at the door and greeted him before heading directly outside the inn.

The middle-aged man, none other than Ismael Mullins, closely followed behind Wyatt Barnes, guiding him towards the royal palace of Autumn Holding Kingdom.

"So many people?"

The royal palace of Autumn Holding Kingdom was situated in one corner of the Capital City, occupying a large area in the eastern section. When Wyatt Barnes arrived nearby, he noticed the bustling crowd at the palace entrance.

"Though many people are here, only a few can enter... besides those registering for the South Heaven Arena, only those accompanying the registrants can enter."

Ismael Mullins stated, "Also, each person registering for the South Heaven Arena can only bring one person inside."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, then along with Ismael Mullins, approached the grand and majestic palace entrance, finding indeed that fewer people entered the palace compared to those outside.

"Sir, here is your pass."

Meanwhile, Ismael Mullins handed Wyatt Barnes the pass obtained after registration, allowing entry into the palace for the South Heaven Arena event.

Wyatt Barnes gave the pass to a guard at the palace entrance, then entered with Ismael Mullins.

Inside the palace, there were guides stationed every so often, preventing Wyatt Barnes and his companion from getting lost.

"Just registering grants entry... doesn’t that mean many people can register?"

Along the way, Wyatt Barnes glanced at Ismael Mullins and asked.

"While that’s true, the registrants must be Upper Immortals from Love Rowan... so those who aren’t Upper Immortals can only enlist an Upper Immortal to register and gain entry afterward."

Ismael Mullins explained.

"Moreover, although the South Heaven Arena has rules prohibiting killing... accidents and intense clashes are inevitable, leading to possible severe injuries that could leave lasting impacts."

"Therefore, unless they’re truly capable Upper Immortals, they generally don’t dare to register... since registering requires them to compete in the arena and they can’t easily admit defeat."

"Unless their opponent is indeed a very powerful Upper Immortal."

Ismael Mullins continued.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Soon, guided by palace personnel, Wyatt Barnes, accompanied by Ismael Mullins, reached the palace courtyard where the South Heaven Arena was about to be held.

This courtyard was part of the palace’s front yard, occupying a vast expanse. Currently, nine circular battle stages had been set up in the center of the courtyard.

However, these battle stages differed from the ones Wyatt Barnes had previously seen.

Each stage was equipped with some formations that projected beams, rising to the sky.

Moreover, the beams covered a vast area, with a diameter extending around one hundred meters in a circle when cut.

Nine battle stages, nine beams, each of a different color.

Besides the basic rainbow colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and indigo, there were also white and gray beams.

Exactly nine colors.

Additionally, seating areas are arranged in four directions around the nine stages, one of which is lavishly decorated. With just one look, it’s not hard to guess that this is reserved for the members of the royal family.

The seating areas on the left and right of this section are also different from the last section of seating, clearly prepared for those of considerable status.

Only the last section of seating is open for the general public.

The Autumn Holding Kingdom’s royal family arranged seats for Wyatt Barnes and Ismael Mullins in this last section of seating.

Currently, this section is about half full.

"Troy, are you confident? You broke through to achieve ’Peak Spiritual Heaven Upper Immortal’ not long ago. I’m guessing it’s not hard for you to snatch one of those nine spots this time, right?"

As Wyatt Barnes and Ismael Mullins were making their way to their seats, they heard a timely voice.

Wyatt glanced over and saw a middle-aged man speaking to another middle-aged man beside him.

"I don’t have absolute confidence... After all, the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities I’ve comprehended and mastered are only Heaven-grade."

The middle-aged man referred to as ’Troy’ sighed, "Although I have comprehended most Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities to the utmost, there’s still one movement-type Heaven-grade Immortal Method I haven’t comprehended fully, and so haven’t completely mastered it."

"In that case... it indeed seems uncertain."

The middle-aged man who’d previously questioned Troy nodded, "However, just do your best... If it really doesn’t work out, there’s always next time."

"Mm."

Troy nodded.

"Next time?"

Hearing the words of that middle-aged man, Wyatt couldn’t help but chuckle slightly.

To his understanding, the South Heaven’s Borderlands martial competition seems to be held only once every hundred years?

For the middle-aged man to say that, isn’t he basically cursing this Troy to remain as a Peak Spiritual Heaven Upper Immortal a hundred years later?

"But, this Troy, he seems to feel that what the other said makes a lot of sense."

In response, Wyatt was a bit puzzled.

"My lord, what’s wrong?"

Ismael Mullins noticed something amiss with Wyatt.

When Wyatt finally spoke of it, Ismael Mullins couldn’t help but laugh wryly and shake his head, "My lord, you’re truly blessed beyond your own awareness..."

"Someone with your talent, even within the Mystic Abyss Mansion, is considered one of the top geniuses... Like me, if not for your help, it would take me at least a hundred years to break through from Peak Spiritual Heaven Upper Immortal to Immortal Lord!"

"One of my previous companions, that One Essence Immortal Lord... it took him an entire thousand years to break through from Peak Spiritual Heaven Upper Immortal to become One Essence Immortal Lord."

As he said this, Ismael Mullins’s bitter smile deepened on his face.

Upon hearing this, Wyatt couldn’t help but shake his head, realizing that unconsciously, he’s been comparing himself to others...

Although he occasionally lowers his standards, it wasn’t by much.

After Wyatt Barnes and Ismael Mullins were seated, more people started to arrive quickly, soon filling the section almost entirely.

At the same time, people also began occupying the other sections of seating.

"That’s the City Lord of Ducoin City!"

Soon, a group of five people approached the front section of seating to the left of where Wyatt and the others were seated.

Once the five were seated, exclamations began to arise from the crowd.

Following the gaze of the exclaiming crowd, Wyatt’s eyes fell on the leader of the group of five.

It was a tall, middle-aged man in a dark golden robe, with a jade-like face and naturally commanding presence, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

"He’s the City Lord of Ducoin City, ’Ismael Yellow’?"

"Indeed! That’s him! I once had the fortune of seeing City Lord Yellow once!"

"City Lord of Ducoin City, Ismael Yellow? Isn’t he regarded as the foremost person beneath the emperor of our Autumn Holding Kingdom? And isn’t he also reputed to be the strongest beneath the Immortal King in our Autumn Holding Kingdom?"

...

As more joined in the discussion, Wyatt finally understood why this City Lord of Ducoin City garnered so much attention upon appearing.

It turns out that this City Lord of Ducoin City is not just any Ten Directions Immortal Lord but also recognized as the strongest Ten Directions Immortal Lord in Autumn Holding Kingdom, deemed by the people as the foremost beneath the Immortal King!

Simultaneously, Wyatt’s gaze shifted to those beside the City Lord of Ducoin City, seeing two elderly men and two young men.

These two young men bore a slight resemblance to the City Lord of Ducoin City, one having eyes and nose similar to him, while the other had a mouth and chin that resembled him.

"The two beside City Lord Yellow must be his most outstanding sons, right?"

"It’s said City Lord Yellow has five sons, but the most outstanding are the youngest two... Both sons are just over a hundred years old, yet they are already Peak Spiritual Heaven Upper Immortals, making them a remarkable pair!"

"It’s said the elder among them has fully comprehended and mastered two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities."

"That’s Ismael Yellow’s fourth son, Emanuel Yellow!"
