Chapter 3010: Huang’er

Bruno Fortin’s words were obviously intended to lower Wyatt Barnes’ guard.

"Divine Soil, how much do you know about divine artifacts? Is what he said true?"

Even though Bruno Fortin’s words were flawless, Wyatt Barnes was still cautious and immediately consulted the Divine Soil.

Before today, he only knew that the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword within him was a Heavenly Artifact, capable of matching the power of a Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact without the Sword Spirit.

"You... you really have a divine artifact within you?"

Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, the Divine Soil was extremely astonished.

"If he can discover it, can you not?"

Wyatt Barnes was puzzled and upon thought, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword swiftly merged within his body, intentionally approaching where the Divine Soil resided.

"It is indeed a divine artifact, and moreover, a top-grade divine artifact!"

The Divine Soil lamented and couldn’t help but complain, "Kid, you have this divine artifact. Why did you use that Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact to kill that guy named Declan Hawkins?"

"This divine artifact might lack a spirit, but with your current strength, it’s still able to exert the power of an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact!"

"If you use this sword to kill Declan Hawkins, you could instantly kill him before he completes the attack he initiated!"

As the Divine Soil spoke, its childish voice carried a hint of grievance, "In such a situation, there’s no need for me to defend against his attack."

"Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact?"

Wyatt Barnes was startled, "Even though the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword inside me is a Heavenly Artifact, its power only compares to a general Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact. How can it compare to an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact!"

Wyatt Barnes had tested the power of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword multiple times before, and indeed it only matched a general Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact.

"You should have used this divine artifact before you understood the Law Rule, right?"

The Divine Soil inquired.

"Yes."

As Wyatt Barnes nodded, a flash of insight hit him, and his pupils contracted, "You mean... after understanding the Law Rule’s profound truth, I can further unleash the power of this divine artifact?"

"Naturally."

The Divine Soil replied, "Not to mention you have a top-grade divine artifact, even using a lower-grade divine artifact without a spirit, if understood by someone proficient in the Law Rule, it can unleash the power of an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact."

"With this divine artifact in hand, you’re using that Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact... truly a waste of a treasure!"

The Divine Soil continued its criticism, mocking Wyatt Barnes for not recognizing the treasure he possessed and for not using it effectively.

Wyatt Barnes gave a bitter smile.

He was unaware of this fact.

"As for what he said just now, it’s indeed true... If your divine sword manages to fuse with a suitable spirit, it’s beneficial for you."

"Because it would mean that the divine sword will regain its full power... Of course, with your strength, you can’t fully exert the divine sword’s entire power, only partial power at most."

"Yet, even partial power already surpasses purely offensive Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts!"

The Divine Soil said.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Meanwhile, seeing Wyatt Barnes lose focus, Bruno Fortin frowned, "You... Are you unwilling?"

Although he didn’t think Wyatt Barnes would reject such a benefit, Wyatt’s hesitation made him wonder.

Hearing Bruno Fortin’s voice, Wyatt Barnes returned to his senses and glanced at Bruno Fortin deeply, "Of course I’m willing...but there must be some conditions, right?"

A ready-made benefit was presented, why wouldn’t he take it?

Besides, he understood in his heart that with such benefits, there must be some price to pay.

"You’ll have to negotiate that with my sister."

Bruno Fortin said.

And almost as soon as Bruno Fortin’s words fell, a transmission came from his body, but it wasn’t in Bruno Fortin’s voice.

"I can become the Sword Spirit of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword within you...but you must agree to one condition."

It was a woman’s voice, elegant yet icy, entering Wyatt Barnes’ ears, leaving him feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"What condition?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"When you possess sufficient strength, avenge my former master, kill the one who killed her!"

The woman said.

"Avenge and kill?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and then said flatly, "If the person who killed your former master deserves to be killed, I can help avenge them."

"But if your former master was a heinous person deserving of death, and the person killed them is merely upholding justice, I can’t comply!"

The Sword Spirit, while tempting, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t someone who would kill innocents for benefits.

"You certainly have principles, it’s no wonder Ernest Summer chose you."

The woman said.

Judging by her tone, there was clearly little fluctuation, "We’ll go with what you said."

Hearing the woman’s words, Wyatt Barnes then knew that the person she wanted him to kill was likely someone deserving of death.

"Now, I will enter your sea of consciousness, don’t resist... After entering your sea of consciousness, I will gradually integrate into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword within you, becoming its new Sword Spirit."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes felt a flash before his eyes, and immediately, a green, smoke-like stream of light surged into his body.

"Divine Soil, you..."

As the green stream of light streaked into his body and swiftly approached his spirit sea, Wyatt Barnes quickly called upon the Hongmeng Divine Soil, wanting it to help restrain the power of the Tai Xuan Divine Gold’s protection over his spirit sea.

Although the Tai Xuan Divine Gold had fallen asleep, it was instinctively guarding his spirit sea, and the woman probably couldn’t enter his spirit sea.

"Don’t worry."

However, the Hongmeng Divine Soil seemed to know what Wyatt Barnes wanted to say, "Her soul level is something the current Tai Xuan Divine Gold cannot block."

"Tai Xuan Divine Gold?"

"Hongmeng Divine Soil? Chaotic Divine Fire?"

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes felt a wave in his spirit sea, and immediately following that, the woman’s voice echoed in his spirit sea.

The woman’s cold voice, at this moment, was evidently filled with surprised implications.

"And the Divine Tree of Life... you actually made it recognize you as its master?"

She was aware of the past incident where Wyatt Barnes bid for the Divine Tree of Life, but hadn’t expected Wyatt Barnes to make the Divine Tree of Life recognize him as its master.

"Turns out you carry ninety-nine Heavenly Veins... no wonder, no wonder Ernest Summer would take an interest in you."

As the woman spoke, her tone carried a hint of sigh at the end.

"What do you mean Ernest Summer would take an interest in me? What do you mean?"

Wyatt Barnes frowned.

"Aren’t you the heir that Ernest Summer found on the Heavenly Plane?"

She wondered.

"No."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly, "I can at most be considered a relative to Ernest Summer... I call him ’Third Uncle.’

"Relative? You call him Third Uncle? You... are you possibly from the Summer Family? No, you’re surname is Barnes!"

She asked, "Are you the illegitimate child of the Summer Clan Chief?"

"Or perhaps you are his illegitimate daughter!"

Wyatt Barnes snorted coldly.

"So how come you call Ernest Summer ’Third Uncle?’"

She asked again.

"My wife is the Summer Family’s daughter, Scarlett Summer."

Wyatt Barnes stated.

Scarlett Summer was indeed Keer’s name in her past life.

"Scarlett Summer?"

Hearing this, the woman exclaimed, "How is this possible! Scarlett Summer long perished resisting the marriage alliance with the Cloud Family... even she was alive, how could she have such a weak husband like you!"

"Believe what you want."

Bringing up Keer, Wyatt Barnes felt somewhat heavy-hearted and a bit annoyed.

Meanwhile, the woman also seemed to sense Wyatt Barnes’s emotions, and remained silent for a moment, staying quietly in Wyatt Barnes’s spirit sea.

After a while, Wyatt Barnes collected himself and glanced lightly at Bruno Fortin, "I didn’t expect you to be someone from the Divine Ruin Lands."

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Bruno Fortin looked at Wyatt Barnes with a serious expression, speaking in a deep tone, "Although my Sister Laurel chose to become your Qi-core Exquisite Sword’s Sword Spirit, acknowledging you as her master... but if I find that you bully her or force her to do things she doesn’t want to do, I, Bruno Fortin, would risk my life to seek justice for her!"

"Put away your dirty thoughts."

Wyatt Barnes sneered at Bruno Fortin, then walked out of the hall, only leaving Bruno Fortin with a back view.

How could he not understand what Bruno Fortin meant, merely worried that he might use his advantages as a master to force future Sword Spirits of the Qi-core Exquisite Sword to do something unwillingly.

Such as serving him in intimate matters.

However, is Wyatt Barnes that kind of person?

Although he understood that what Bruno Fortin did to protect the Sword Spirit was understandable, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel insulted.

Nonetheless, as Bruno Fortin followed Wyatt Barnes out of the hall, instead of being displeased by Wyatt Barnes’s attitude, a smile played at his lips.

Now, he could confirm:

Wyatt Barnes is someone worth entrusting.

"Third-form Hongmeng Divine Soil, third-form Chaotic Divine Fire, second-form Tai Xuan Divine Gold... how did you achieve this?"

When Wyatt Barnes walked out of the hall, the woman’s astonished voice echoed from within his spirit sea.

"Hehe... girl, you should say third-form Tai Xuan Divine Gold. Because, once this Tai Xuan Divine Gold awakens, it can evolve into the third-form Tai Xuan Divine Gold by merging with the first-form Tai Xuan Divine Gold obtained by this lad."

Hongmeng Divine Soil chuckled.

"Hongmeng Divine Soil, how come you’re willing to coexist with the Tai Xuan Divine Gold and Chaotic Divine Fire in the same host body? Aren’t you Five-element Divine Beings usually very proud, unwilling to coexist with other Five-element Divine Beings?"

She asked in astonished tone.

"Girl, before you ask me this question... shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?"

Hongmeng Divine Soil asked.

"My name is ’Laurel,’ originally a Sword Spirit of a top-grade divine artifact... soon, I will become the Sword Spirit of the Qi-core Exquisite Sword inside him."

She said.

"Laurel... nice name, sounds pleasant."

Hongmeng Divine Soil replied with a mature tone, though its voice still sounded like a child just learning to speak.
