Chapter 2585: Chapter 2585: Bloodshade City

After leaving the location of the ’Ascension Pool’, Wyatt Barnes wandered around for a while but couldn’t find his way, and didn’t see a single living soul on the way.

Now, he is preparing to head to the nearby ’Bloodshade City’.

"I thought I could bump into someone nearby and ask for directions... Now it seems I was too naive. After wandering around for half a day, I can’t see a trace of human habitation."

Wyatt shook his head and retraced his steps back near the ’Ascension Pool’ he had left earlier.

Initially, Wyatt planned to directly find someone from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon to lead the way.

However, after thinking it over, he dismissed the idea:

"After all, I killed people from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon... If I rashly expose my whereabouts and let them know I went to Bloodshade City, they definitely wouldn’t let it slide!"

Although, just now, Wyatt even took down a centurion from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon.

Yet, he was still self-aware.

Once more powerful beings from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon take action, he might not be their match.

Perhaps he has the power to challenge and even defeat a centurion from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon...

But what about the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon?

Moreover, the Army of Silver Sea Dragon is under the jurisdiction of Bloodshade City, and above the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, there is an even more powerful City Lord of Bloodshade City!

"Forget it, I’ll wait here. Wait for them to lead the ascended ones away from the Ascension Pool, back to the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp... Then, I’ll follow along to see."

Soon, Wyatt had a plan in mind, "Logically speaking... As the Army of Silver Sea Dragon is under Bloodshade City, the Army’s camp should not be far from Bloodshade City."

"Now, without me devouring the power from the Ascension Pool recklessly... The batch of ascended beings arriving later in the heavenly planes ’Spiritual Heaven’ should also be on the verge of becoming Heavenly Immortals, waking up soon?"

Wyatt thought to himself.

"However... It’s really unexpected that, according to my third uncle’s reminder, refining the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins in my body could bring me such great benefits!"

"Now, the advantage brought by my Immortal Origin Force passing through the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins is comparable to the effect of the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’!"

Needless to say, this was an added ’surprise’ for Wyatt.

Just this alone allowed his current strength to rise by two entire levels!

"Also, I feel... the benefits brought by the thoroughly refined ninety-nine Heavenly Veins are definitely more than just this."

Wyatt thought to himself.

"Now, since I’ve ascended to the heavenly planes... The urgent task at hand is to find a way to quickly improve my cultivation level."

"After all... I only have a thousand years!"

Thinking of what Ernest Summer from the Divine Ruin Lands had said to him, Wyatt’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

According to Ernest Summer:

A thousand years later, once matters in the Divine Ruin Lands are settled, Keer’s father will force her to marry that ’Rocky Cloud’!

Because of this, the only thing Wyatt is focused on is how to enhance his own strength.

He hasn’t thought about anything else, nor does he plan to.

"First, head to ’Bloodshade City’ to inquire about the best training environment nearby... and also, find out where to obtain training resources?"

This is Wyatt’s ’purpose’ for wanting to go to Bloodshade City.

Now that he has just arrived at the heavenly plane ’Spiritual Heaven’, the worldly cultivation resources can’t be brought here, so right now he is basically penniless...

Of course, he also knows:

Even if he brought worldly cultivation resources, like ’Holy Stone’, to the heavenly planes, they wouldn’t help him.

The spiritual energy contained within the Holy Stone is worldly spiritual energy, and can’t help him increase his Immortal Origin Force.

Furthermore, because he has just arrived at the heavenly plane ’Spiritual Heaven’, Wyatt is completely unaware of the circumstances here.

The urgent task is to go to ’Bloodshade City’ to gather information.

Then, he can move on to the next step.

"Shouldn’t have to wait too long."

Outside the Ascension Pool, above the thick clouds, Wyatt stood in mid-air, his gaze penetrating the clouds to overlook the area below.

About a quarter of an hour later.

"Here they come!"

Within Wyatt’s line of sight, a familiar figure appeared; it was the centurion from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, ’Liam King’.

He was the one whose arm and leg Wyatt had incapacitated.

Now, Liam King was leading a group of ascendants as they left the Ascension Pool, heading east.

Since the people had arrived, Wyatt also set off.

Liam King led a group of ascendants toward the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s camp, gritting his teeth all along, and silently fuming: "Hopefully, after hearing about today’s events, the Centurion will report this to the Commander-in-Chief."

"Once the Commander-in-Chief learns about the matter... Given the temperament of the Commander-in-Chief, he will surely dig out this person and kill him, even if he has to scour the area!"

A fierce glint flickered in Liam King’s eyes as he thought on.

Although, from beginning to end, Liam King never vented his anger on the group of ascenders following behind him.

Yet, the group of ascenders were subtly influenced by Liam King’s mood, none daring to even take a deep breath.

About half an hour later, a ’small black dot’ appeared within Wyatt Barnes’s line of sight.

"It’s a city! It should be that ’Bloodshade City’ without a doubt."

Looking at the ’small black dot’ on the distant earth ahead, Wyatt secretly speculated in his heart.

And the facts that followed proved that Wyatt guessed right.

Wyatt followed Liam King and his people all the way towards the direction where the ’small black dot’ was, and soon the small black dot grew larger and larger, finally becoming a city sprawling there like a giant beast.

The city walls all around were constructed of blood-red bricks, offering a visual shock, as if they were stained with blood.

"Ahead is ’Bloodshade City’... The camp I’m going to take you to now is our Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s camp."

"And our Army of Silver Sea Dragon is one of the two great armies under the command of Bloodshade City."

"Our Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s Commander-in-Chief reports directly to the City Lord of Bloodshade City!"

Liam King, who had followed a long path without speaking, suddenly halted and turned around to face the group of ascenders behind him.

"Next, we won’t head towards Bloodshade City... because our Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s camp is not located within Bloodshade City."

With that, Liam King led the group of ascenders toward the northeast direction of Bloodshade City.

"Bloodshade City!"

Though Wyatt was hidden behind the clouds, some distance from Liam King, he clearly heard Liam King’s words, not deliberately lowered in volume.

After hearing Liam King’s words, Wyatt completely confirmed it:

The city ahead, seemingly stained with blood, was indeed his destination for this trip:

Bloodshade City!

Bloodshade City was also the first city Wyatt arrived at after coming to the Mortal Plane.

Outside Bloodshade City, Wyatt saw many immortals shuttling in and out, appearing very bustling...

At this time, Wyatt also followed the flow of people into Bloodshade City, like a road-worn mortal immortal passing through, intending to rest inside Bloodshade City for a while.

Once inside Bloodshade City, Wyatt began looking around.

After all, it was the first city he came into contact with upon arriving at the Mortal Plane.

So, he intended to take a good look, so at least this city would leave a ’mark’ in his memory for future recollection.

"Guest, this ’Mystic Autumn Grass’ I originally planned to sell for twelve pieces of low-grade immortal stones... but seeing as it’s getting late, I’ll sell it to you for ten pieces of low-grade immortal stones, so I can pack up and leave early."

After wandering for half the day in Bloodshade City, Wyatt unknowingly arrived near a road lined with stalls, and a stall owner’s voice reached his ears.

"Low-grade immortal stones? Immortal stones?"

Wyatt looked in the direction of the voice and saw someone take out ten pale green stones, handing them to the speaking stall owner.

The stall owner also handed a herb over to the other person.

"Is this the trade currency of the Mortal Plane? Similar to ’Holy Stones’, also used for cultivation, ’Immortal Stones’?"

While still on the mundane plane, Wyatt heard Wally Sanders mention the trade currency of the Mortal Plane, ’Immortal Stones’.

However, since he had never seen immortal stones before, he had no concept of what they were.

Now, witnessing a transaction firsthand on the Mortal Plane, he finally understood what ’Immortal Stones’ looked like.

"These are immortal stones? In the Storage Ring left by that Silver Sea Dragon Army Centurion, there seem to be many of them as well."

In an instant, Wyatt’s mind delved into the storage ring he held.

This Storage Ring was acquired from a Silver Sea Dragon Army Centurion he had killed.

After the Centurion’s death, he claimed it with a drop of blood, making it his own.

Now inside the Storage Ring’s space, a saber and a sword lay quietly.

Both the saber and sword were Immortal Artifacts, hailing from the Centurions of the Silver Sea Dragon Army.

Besides these two Immortal Artifacts, piles of blue stones were scattered within the Storage Ring’s space.

One pile of stones was larger but paler in color; the other smaller pile had stones of a deeper hue. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"This larger pile... is ’low-grade immortal stones’."

Using the low-grade immortal stones seen in others’ transactions as a reference, Wyatt easily identified the low-grade immortal stones within the Storage Ring.

"I was worried that without the Mortal Plane’s trade currency, it would be inconvenient to gather information at the most informative taverns... after all, I couldn’t pay the bill."

"But now it seems I was overthinking... I forgot that the Storage Ring in my hand was from the Silver Sea Dragon Army Centurion, and as a Centurion of the Silver Sea Dragon Army, he must have amassed considerable wealth."

Upon realizing this, Wyatt directly headed to a busy tavern he passed by earlier, found an empty table, and sat down.
