Chapter 2989: A Great Harvest

"The First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal!"

The soft voice of the Hongmeng Divine Earth sounded, causing Wyatt Barnes to tightly shut his mouth just as he was about to choose that pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact.

"This... is this the First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal?"

Wyatt looked at the inconspicuous broken bead in Hu Linyi’s hand, his heart quivering slightly, as he asked the Hongmeng Divine Earth for confirmation.

"There is no mistake."

The Hongmeng Divine Earth said, "As a fellow Five Elements Divine Being, I can recognize the First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal... The guy Taixuan Divine Metal has quite the luck, just sleeping and yet able to encounter this First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal."

"Kid, as long as you obtain this First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal and when the Taixuan Divine Metal within you awakens, absorbs, and assimilates it, the Taixuan Divine Metal within you shall evolve to the third form, providing you with more help!"

As he spoke further, the Hongmeng Divine Earth intentionally reminded Wyatt, because he felt Wyatt’s desire for that pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact.

"As for that pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact, once you enter the Three Sects and Two Clans, with the talent you exhibit, obtaining such a royal grade immortal artifact will not be a difficult task."

Currently, the Hongmeng Divine Earth feared Wyatt would choose that pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact instead of the First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal.

In fact, once Wyatt confirmed that the inconspicuous bead in Hu Linyi’s hand was the First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal, he planned to choose that bead.

Though the pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact was good, in his eyes, its value paled in comparison to the First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal.

Just as Wyatt was reluctantly glancing at Hu Linyi’s crimson vest, deciding to choose the First Form of Taixuan Divine Metal.

"Hahahaha..."

A burst of laughter interrupted him, forcing him to pause and look at the laughing person.

And now, the person laughing was the Heavenly Emperor of South Star Kingdom, Murphy Bell.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Hu Linyi’s face darkened, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

After a while, Murphy Bell’s laughter subsided, and he gave Hu Linyi a deep look, smiling faintly as he said:

"Heavenly Emperor Cruz, if I’m not mistaken, the bead in your hand should be the one you acquired at that royal auction in Black Mountain Kingdom two hundred years ago, right?"

"I remember... at the time, you only spent twenty thousand top-grade immortal crystals to get this bead, didn’t you?"

As he continued, Murphy Bell looked at Wyatt Barnes, teasingly saying, "Wyatt Barnes, it seems Heavenly Emperor Cruz is rather reluctant to give you his pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact... otherwise, he wouldn’t have presented such a worthless bead for you to choose."

"It seems he’s gambling that if you choose this worthless bead, he won’t have to give you that pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact."

"Perhaps you’d be better off coming to our South Star Kingdom... At least, I wouldn’t be as stingy as Heavenly Emperor Cruz."

As Murphy Bell spoke further, he cast a mocking glance at Hu Linyi.

Hu Linyi’s face had already changed completely when Murphy Bell mentioned the Black Mountain Kingdom’s royal auction.

He never expected Murphy Bell to know about that matter!

Nor did he expect Murphy Bell to openly expose his thoughts in front of so many people...

He presented the bead in his right hand, claiming its value should not be less than that of a pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact, indeed intending to mislead Wyatt Barnes into choosing this bead.

Just as Murphy Bell described, he was indeed reluctant to give up the pure defense-grade royal grade immortal artifact in his left hand.

"It looks like what the Heavenly Emperor Bell said is true... Heavenly Emperor Cruz really wants to mislead Wyatt Barnes!"

"This Heavenly Emperor Cruz is quite unworthy... Even when gifting a royal grade immortal artifact, he shows so little sincerity, and intentionally misleads Wyatt Barnes."

"I even thought the bead in Heavenly Emperor Cruz’s hand was something good... but I didn’t expect it was just something he acquired at the Black Mountain Kingdom’s royal auction for twenty thousand top-grade immortal crystals."

"Twenty thousand top-grade immortal crystals... How stingy."

"Indeed. Even an ordinary complete royal grade immortal artifact is worth over a hundred thousand top-grade immortal crystals... twenty thousand top-grade immortal crystals, indeed stingy."

...

After hearing Murphy Bell’s words and seeing Hu Linyi’s expression, it wasn’t difficult for those present to discern that Murphy Bell was telling the truth.

"Murphy Bell, don’t spew nonsense!"

Hu Linyi called Murphy Bell by name, no longer referring to him as ’Heavenly Emperor Bell’, truly angered.

"Spew nonsense?"

Murphy Bell laughed, "You say I’m spewing nonsense... then why not wait for the people from Black Mountain Kingdom to come, and we’ll together ask for confirmation from Black Mountain Kingdom’s emperor?"

Hu Linyi, of course, couldn’t go seek confirmation from the emperor of Black Mountain Kingdom, because the bead in his right hand was indeed bought for twenty thousand top-grade immortal crystals.

Moreover, it was indeed acquired from the royal auction of Black Mountain Kingdom back in those days.

"Murphy Bell, according to your meaning... you can confirm that this thing has no value?"

Hu Linyi stared at Murphy Bell, speaking deeply, "Otherwise, why don’t you try and see if you can destroy it? Or perhaps, try and see if you can leave any trace on it? Even a tiny fraction."

Hu Linyi said this while handing the bead in his hand out, making a gesture to give it to the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

"Heavenly Emperor Cruz, I have never said that I could leave a trace on this bead... You and I are similar in strength, if you can’t leave a trace on it, naturally, neither can I."

Murphy Bell spoke plainly.

"Then what makes you say it’s useless?"

Cyrus Cruz asked in a deep voice.

"Did I say anything wrong?"

Murphy Bell laughed, "This orb, you spent twenty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals to buy it, and you studied it for so long without figuring it out... How can it be something good?"

"Why don’t you tell me, what good is it? Or, explain its usefulness?"

As he spoke, Murphy Bell’s smile grew even brighter, looking as if he had Cyrus Cruz cornered.

Suddenly, Cyrus Cruz’s expression turned even uglier.

"Heavenly Emperor Cruz, if I were you, I would give both items to Wyatt Barnes, to prove that you are not unwilling to part with your pure defense King Grade Immortal Artifact."

Murphy Bell spoke provocatively.

These words further incited Cyrus Cruz’s fury, and ultimately he had no choice but to pass both items to Wyatt Barnes.

"I don’t need your advice; I was planning to do that anyway."

As he handed the two items to Wyatt Barnes, Cyrus Cruz coldly glanced at Murphy Bell and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wyatt Barnes did not decline, accepting the items directly and neatly.

He never imagined that the commotion caused by the South Star Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor would not only bring him the first form of the Profound Divine Gold but also a pure defense King Grade Immortal Artifact.

"Kid, this Heavenly Emperor from the South Star Kingdom is quite something."

The childish voice of the Divine Soil rang out, evidently surprised by Wyatt Barnes’ unexpected gain.

"With this pure defense King Grade Immortal Artifact, in the future, when my power adheres to it, your defense will be stronger than what you’ve previously shown!"

Earlier, when Wyatt Barnes took out that versatile King Grade Immortal Artifact umbrella for defense, it was the intervention of the Divine Soil that completely blocked Jalen Bell’s strong offensive.

If not for Divine Soil’s intervention, Jalen Bell’s attack would have had Wyatt injured, and the injury wouldn’t be lighter than Jalen Bell’s.

"Haha... The Heavenly Emperor Cruz is indeed generous."

Seeing Cyrus Cruz give both items to Wyatt Barnes, Murphy Bell laughed heartily, then immediately called his group from South Star Kingdom to leave directly.

Although he lost the bet between him and Cyrus Cruz.

But now, he looked more like a winner.

Even the surrounding crowd felt the same, believing that in the confrontation between the South Star Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor and the Autumn Holding Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor, the South Star Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor had won.

Watching Murphy Bell lead his people away, Cyrus Cruz immediately turned his gaze to Wyatt Barnes.

And just that one glance made Wyatt Barnes’ heart hang in suspense, worried, "Is Heavenly Emperor Cruz expecting me to return the items?"

If Cyrus Cruz truly shamelessly asked for the return, Wyatt Barnes would have no choice but to comply.

"If he truly asks me to return the items, I’d rather return the pure defense King Grade Immortal Artifact... But if he asks for the first form of the Profound Divine Gold, after returning it, I’ll go find the South Star Kingdom’s Heavenly Emperor to represent them in entering the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm downwards!"

Wyatt Barnes made up his mind, just waiting for Cyrus Cruz to speak.

However, as it turned out, Wyatt Barnes was overthinking.

Cyrus Cruz, as the Heavenly Emperor of Autumn Holding Kingdom, even without the surrounding spectators, faced with his people from Autumn Holding Kingdom, he wouldn’t possibly ask Wyatt Barnes to return the items.

If he did, it would make him seem petty, and it would also foster dislike from Wyatt Barnes, possibly even pushing Wyatt Barnes towards the South Star Kingdom.

"Do you have confidence in the top ten?"

Just as Wyatt Barnes was feeling anxious, Cyrus Cruz smiled and asked Wyatt Barnes.

"I will do my best."

Faced with Cyrus Cruz’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes breathed a sigh of relief, realizing Cyrus Cruz wouldn’t ask for the return of those two items.

At the same time, Cyrus Cruz withdrew his gaze, called out to Wyatt Barnes and others, and continued towards the central area of Cloud Mist Lake.

"Brother Barnes, congratulations... I really didn’t expect the Heavenly Emperor of South Star Kingdom to cause such a commotion, yet you ended up gaining massively."

Emanuel Yellow transmitted a congratulatory message to Wyatt Barnes, sincerely happy for his fortune.

Meanwhile, others looked at Wyatt Barnes with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Especially Ezequiel Cruz, the Fourth Prince of Autumn Holding Kingdom, whose eyes turned red with jealousy!

Until today, he had no idea their Autumn Holding Kingdom royal family possessed such a pure defense King Grade Immortal Artifact.

And today, after learning about it, it was given away by his father.

When Wyatt Barnes and his group arrived at the central area of Cloud Mist Lake, Wyatt Barnes could see that over ten thousand people had gathered in the area.

And this number continued to increase...
