Chapter 792 -471: The Great Black Heavenly Buddhas_2
The City Lord immediately spoke up, “If we could have a Grandmaster Formation Master stationed here, Heavenly Moon City would certainly rise to a new level, not only safely through this competition, but also beyond reproach henceforth.”
“I understand,” the Deputy City Lord hastily went to fetch the Spirit Stones, as for the City Lord, he made his way to Logan’s side hall, extremely curious about this young man.
Notices were previously posted throughout the city seeking a formation master to deal with the fissures, but that was merely clutching at straws, hoping to find a grandmaster-level alchemist was extremely difficult, with only a handful in the entire Outer Domain, and most of them had already retired, untraceable even with a wealth of Spirit Stones.
Logan saw a middle-aged man walk in, carrying an extraordinary aura, so he promptly gave a respectful bow: “You must be the City Lord of Heavenly Moon City, right? It’s an honor to meet you.”
“Indeed, a young hero appears; could you perhaps be someone with a noble heritage?” The City Lord laughed heartily, then asked.

Having only arrived in the Outer Domain a few days prior, and alone at that, Logan was unsure how to respond to the City Lord’s question. Was it mere small talk or prying? Was he making plans based on Logan’s response?
Without a Sect to call his own, what if the City Lord turned hostile? The City Lord would find a Grandmaster Formation Master too formidable to ignore, a fact Logan understood very well. But if he fabricated a Sect affiliation, could it really fool the other party? After much deliberation, Logan decided not to answer the question.
“I was just passing through Heavenly Moon City and decided to help out with the injustice I witnessed, nothing more,” Logan waved off, understanding that the more he talked, the more likely he would slip up. It was better to retain an air of mystery.
The City Lord took no chances with a Grandmaster Formation Master: “We are just about to hold a martial arts competition in the city; why not stay and allow me to show my gratitude?”
Logan did not refuse. He knew he was being watched by many, and only within the City Lord’s Mansion could his safety be guaranteed. Should he leave, he might well become the target of an assassination, and he sensed that this City Lord did not seem to be a nefarious character.
At that moment, the Deputy City Lord also returned, handing Logan a Space Storage Bag: “Inside are five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, a token of our appreciation. It’s just that the city hasn’t been as prosperous as before, so please don’t take offense at the modest sum.”
Upon hearing the amount, Logan was completely astonished. Heavenly Moon City was far wealthier than he had imagined; they were able to give away five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones so easily, which were exceedingly rare in the Ancient World, even the Demon Beast Secret Realm and Immortal Realm could at most muster a few hundred thousand. This was their entire foundation.
In the cities of the Outer Domain, however, five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones seemed like nothing. With so many Spirit Stones for cultivation, one’s realm would certainly accelerate by dozens of times. The one thing Logan most lacked at the moment was realm advancement; relying on his second level Saint Seat simply didn’t cut it in the Outer Domain.
In the past, he could rely on an Emperor Weapon to enhance his combat power, but Logan was aware that in the Outer Domain, any large power would likely have many Emperor Weapons, so his own weapon wouldn’t provide a significant advantage, except perhaps when facing ordinary enemies.
“The coming days will surely be turbulent; the person behind the barrier destruction will notice that I’ve repaired the fissure and may take the opportunity to cause further damage elsewhere. To be cautious, I will stay in the city these next few days. Should there be any more fissures or anything that I could help with, I will certainly act,” Logan bowed slightly, speaking with conviction.
“But you must be vigilant, surveying every part of the barrier. Anyone capable of breaching the array without drawing attention is obviously very powerful, and clearly, their intent isn’t simple destruction, I fear it’s directed at Heavenly Moon City as a whole.”
“We are well aware; just today, we’ve increased our patrols by ten thousand. Should anything amiss occur, we will notify the City Lord’s Mansion at once. We will not let those with ill intentions continue their sabotage. Some may wish to see the city fail, but we are determined not to let them succeed.”
“It’s just that the martial arts contest has suddenly brought tens of thousands of people from other forces into the city, and with their various intentions, it really is a troublesome matter. We can only hope that everything goes smoothly. The reason I organized this so-called martial arts contest was to offer neighboring forces a chance of fortune,” said the City Lord with a sigh of resignation.
City Lord sighed, feeling quite helpless, “Who could have imagined that my good intentions would lead to this situation? Now the entire city is in a passive state.”
“A martial arts contest for a Saint Emperor Legacy? The Outer Domain isn’t short of Saint Emperors, so why would so many forces come, even going as far as to attack the City-protecting Array?” Logan asked with endless curiosity. In the Ancient World, it was rare to see a Sanctuary Powerhouse, but it was different in the Outer Domain, where ordinary Sanctuary forces could only serve as minor guards, and only those above the eighth or ninth level were considered average Powerhouses.
“Saint Emperor Powerhouses are one in ten thousand, each a Powerhouse in their own right. How could there be so many? There are many Powerhouses in the Outer Domain, but most are only at the Half-step Saint Emperor or Quasi Emperor level. Very few can truly break through to the Saint Emperor Realm, and it’s this fact that creates the gap between the Sanctuary and Holy Lands,” the City Lord said, deeply frustrated. It seemed to him that Logan undervalued Saint Emperors, but then remembering Logan’s Grandmaster Formation Master skills, he soon let it go. Grandmaster Formation Masters were even rarer than Saint Emperor Powerhouses, after all, there were only a handful left in The World.
The Deputy City Lord was at a loss for words. Despite being one of the strongest in the vicinity, he was only a Quasi Emperor himself. Even so, he had surpassed millions of others, not to mention the true Saint Emperors. He had been stuck in his Realm for a hundred years, but the probability of taking that next step was still slim.
“Let’s put it this way, Heavenly Moon City lies within the Outer Southern Wilds, and there are a total of three Saint Emperors in this place. Aside from the City Lord of Heavenly Moon City in front of you, there are two other top-tier forces. There are more than three hundred Quasi Emperors, and the number of Half-step Saint Emperors reaches several thousand,” the Deputy City Lord explained patiently to Logan. “The most numerous are the Ninth Level Saint Seats, who constitute the first-rate combat power here. The Sect leaders of some minor Sects are on this level. The reason Heavenly Moon City is the strongest of all surrounding forces is precisely because of the City Lord’s Saint Emperor Realm, which deters enemies for a million miles around.”
“Saint Emperor?” Logan looked at the City Lord. It was his first time seeing a Saint Emperor. He had seen what he thought were Saint Emperors before, like in the Ancient Secret Realm, and he had even received an Inheritance from one. However, since it was just a consciousness and the true body had long passed away, it didn’t count.
As for the Sect Master of the Immortal Celestial Gate in the Immortal Realm, he was only a Half-step Saint Emperor, so seeing the real deal today was a shock for Logan.
The City Lord quickly gestured with his hands, quite modestly saying, “I was fortunate to achieve the Saint Emperor status, but in the Outer Domain, where there are many experts, my Realm doesn’t count for much, and I can only stay in this small city.”
After chatting for a moment more, the City Lord had to leave due to some business, and the Deputy City Lord followed. Logan was left alone in the City Lord’s Mansion. Normally, he wouldn’t be allowed to move around freely, but since Logan was now an honored guest of the City Lord’s Mansion, he had the privilege of freely entering and leaving the residence.
Thus, Logan decided to go out and enjoy the bustling environment and promptly went out, but a group of City Lord’s Mansion guards followed him, making him quite uncomfortable. Upon inquiring, they were under the City Lord’s orders to protect Logan at all times. Was it surveillance or a kind gesture? Logan himself wasn’t sure.
However, the fact that Logan was a Grandmaster Formation Master had spread throughout the city in just over an hour. Knowing that the City Lord’s Mansion had a Grandmaster Formation Master, the people of Heavenly Moon City were naturally overjoyed. After all, the stronger the City Lord’s Mansion, the safer they felt as residents.
Many forces that came to the city for the martial arts contest naturally felt envious. A Grandmaster Formation Master was, after all, a rarity in this world. Who else had seen one with their own eyes? So, most of the time, it was assumed that Formation Masters of that caliber simply didn’t exist.
