Chapter 808: Chapter 479: All Realms Submit _2
After reaching the fifth level of the Saint Seat Realm, one must comprehend the Laws, and cultivation resources are no longer useful. Of course, hailing from a Great Sect definitely has its advantages. Having Quasi-Saint Emperors and Saint Emperor Powerhouses to expound on the teachings allows for quicker comprehension of the Laws and accelerates the speed of increasing one’s Cultivation Realm.
Logan fell into thought. In other words, before reaching the fifth level of the Saint Seat Realm, he could still rely on Top-Grade Spirit Stones to build up his strength, without having to constantly undergo trials like before. After reaching the fifth level, he would then pursue the cultivation of the Laws. This approach would be most beneficial to him, enabling him to become stronger in the shortest amount of time.
As for comprehending the Laws, back in the Ancient Secret Realm, Logan had already achieved Great Achievement in the Thunder and Lightning Laws. For him, this aspect seemed rather simple, as if he had an innate connection with the Laws.
By this time, the streets were getting more and more crowded. Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and it was already after ten o’clock. There was only one hour left until the tournament.
Having not eaten breakfast, he and Snow Wood approached a food stall and ordered some snacks. The stall was initially full, but Snow Wood generously took out a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones. The crowd’s eyes lit up; they quickly accepted the Spirit Stones and made room, respectfully inviting Snow Wood to sit.
It must be said that the Outer Domain is truly different. Even a random street food stall is filled with Spiritual Energy, and even contains a trace of the Laws. No wonder the Cultivators here are generally more powerful. With such conditions for cultivation, even those with the dullest of talents wouldn’t fall too low in terms of their Cultivation Realm.
After finishing their breakfast and savoring tea for a moment, it quickly became noon, and the martial arts tournament started. By now, tens of thousands of people had gathered around the Martial Stage.
As the City Lord of Heavenly Moon City, Nasir Combs made his appearance and surveyed the crowd, “This martial arts tournament is meant to facilitate an exchange among the major powers of the Southern Desolation, to spar and learn from each other. Therefore, I hope that the younger generation from the Great Sects will display their elegance. Of course, I also hope no one will resort to plotting and scheming.”
“I believe everyone is well aware of the first prize, which is a portion of the Saint Emperor Legacy. I stumbled upon it many years ago. Since I am already at the Saint Emperor Realm, naturally, I have no use for it, so I decided to leave it for the younger generation. Whoever wins first place will undoubtedly be the most outstanding talent of Southern Desolation.”
“Of course, many here are from Great Sects, and some have elders who are Quasi-Saint Emperors, or even Saint Emperors, who may look down on this Saint Emperor Legacy. However, as a Saint Emperor myself, I can impartially tell you all that this Saint Emperor Legacy carries an opportunity that is comparable to that of several Saint Emperors combined.”
The City Lord’s words caused an uproar among the crowd. Although they knew that the Saint Emperor Legacy was powerful, could it really be as strong as several Saint Emperors combined? Many felt that Nasir Combs was exaggerating.
Nasir Combs smiled and continued, “Not all Saint Emperors are capable of leaving behind a legacy. Those that are recognized as Saint Emperor Legacies are from among the truly formidable Saint Emperor Powerhouses. To put it simply, it’s akin to the Saint Seat Ninth Level within the Saint Seat Realm, already unsurpassable by anyone in the whole Saint Seat Realm.”
“Anyway, I won’t say much more. The martial arts tournament officially begins. I have divided the Martial Stage into one hundred rings. From each ring, fifty people will struggle to determine one Strong One. In total, two hundred Strong Ones will be selected, and then tomorrow, out of these two hundred, ten will be chosen for the finals.”
“Lord City Master, isn’t this a bit unfair?” Just then, a voice of dissent emerged from the crowd. Such rules surely depended on luck, didn’t they?
Following one person’s outcry, more and more people began to feel the arrangement was unfair. If they were grouped with the Strong Ones, wouldn’t that mean the competition would be over for them right from the start?
“Everyone, please calm down. The reason why this is different from ordinary martial arts tournaments is to give everyone a chance. Otherwise, the top ten would always be those with the highest Cultivation Realms, and there would be no suspense. This Saint Emperor Legacy is meant for the one with the right destiny, so I have deliberately set it up this way,” Nasir Combs said, waving his hand to quiet the crowd.
“Strong Ones might be grouped together, and after a fierce competition, they might be eliminated all at once. On the other hand, those a level or two lower in Cultivation Realm might have the chance to reach the final round. In the end, it all depends on luck, of course, on the foundation of one’s strength,” he added.
“Especially since many Sects have sent out hundreds of participants, to prevent them from forming alliances and targeting others together, this completely random grouping turns out to be the fairest. Many strategies discussed by various people before the martial arts tournament will ultimately become useless in the face of this arrangement.”
“Many people think that in the preliminary selection, those with higher realms are certain to advance to the next round, while those with lower realms will all be eliminated. But I want to differ. Let those with higher realms face opponents of the same level. Each of the fifty people in a group has different strengths, which will definitely make things interesting,”
After finishing his statement, Nasir Combs’s aura burst forth, “In any case, the rules have been set. No one is allowed to make unnecessary comments. The competition will start immediately. Everyone should go to their respective groups according to their names. You have one hour, and if no victor is determined when time is up, everyone in that group will be eliminated.”
“So if anyone is thinking of skirting by and reaping the rewards without any effort, that plan won’t work. You must give it your all to become the sole winner of your group,”
Afterward, the tens of thousands of competitors went to their groups, each one praying to be matched with those of lower realms to have an easier time. Yet they also secretly hoped they weren’t the highest in their realm, as that would make them a target for the others in the same group, all of whom were dealing with these complex emotions.
All fifty people in Logan’s group had arrived. Logan did a quick check and saw that most of them were at the Saint Seat Fourth Level. About a dozen were around the Fifth Level, and only one or two were at the Sixth Level.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief because, against opponents of such realms, there was no need for the Spirit Gathering Array he had prepared. Relying on the Emperor Weapon and the Thunder and Lightning Laws was enough to cope, and Logan didn’t want to expose his strength too early.
The others in his group couldn’t help but laugh when they sized up Logan. They looked down on him, thinking, ‘Logan is only at the Saint Seat Second Level?’
They were genuinely curious. How could someone with such a low cultivation level dare to compete? Shouldn’t one at least be at the fourth level of the Saint Seat? Could such a lowly realm last even one round?
“Let’s eliminate Logan first, then we can have a fair duel,” someone loudly suggested, thinking that dealing with someone at the Saint Seat Second Level was trifling.

But after some scrutiny and thought, someone suddenly recognized him: “Could Logan be that Grandmaster Formation Master? There was a rumor about one this morning that caused quite a stir, and it matches Logan’s realm. Many people in the city are discussing it. Are you sure you want to move against Logan?”
“So what if he is? What has being a Grandmaster Formation Master got to do with this martial competition? We’re here to advance, so naturally, we should eliminate those with lower realms first,”
The previous speaker scoffed with a smile, glancing aside, “Are you scared of offending someone? Then you might as well join Logan. Even if we all attack you two, it will be easy for so many of us.”
“Everyone, think about it carefully. Are we really capable of winning first place in this martial competition? We’re just trying our luck with a bit of courage, after all. Deep down we know we’re bound to lose, so why offend a Grandmaster Formation Master? Better to form a good relationship,”
A person at the Saint Seat Fifth Level spoke up: “To make the acquaintance of a Grandmaster Formation Master is such a fortunate opportunity. Isn’t that much better than the illusory promise of a Saint Emperor Legacy? Instead of fighting to the death in this competition, I think we should all be sensible and not lay a finger on Logan.”
“I agree.” These words swayed most people. Grandmaster Formation Masters were scarce even throughout the Outer Domain. Why offend Logan over a competition? His realm might be low, but defeating Logan would undoubtedly lead to making an enemy. And if Logan got angry, countless powerhouses would willingly seek revenge for him.
Seeing this, six or seven faces darkened. They weren’t interested in the chance for a Saint Emperor opportunity, but that was precisely why they were here. So why did they run into such trouble in the preliminary round?
Looking at this crowd, not only were they unwilling to continue the fight, but some even seemed intent on protecting the protagonist, which was incredibly frustrating for those few. After all, if their small number was to fight against the forty-plus, the odds were overwhelmingly against them, but how could they break the current situation?
