Legendary Realms (6K)_1

“The time to open the pavilion has arrived.”

“Those who are interested in observing the Legendary Ascension Ceremony may pay to enter.”

“Note that the admission fee for this event is per person, regardless of whether you are a chosen one, a hero, or a soldier. All must pay an equal admission fee, and summons within the venue are prohibited.”

A staff member responsible for venue order announced loudly, his voice echoing in every direction.

This is a per-person charge, not a lord’s charge.

Many players wore disappointed expressions — no luck mooching a free view this time. But then again, they’ve come mostly for the excitement and to draw motivation from the great atmosphere.

Old Brother Mai Wa was here alone.

Mr. Tan, meanwhile, stored his troops in the Lord’s Seal.

Before their eyes, Mu Yuan summoned an impressively beautiful bird with blue feathers.

Upon a closer look, it seemed all three of Brother Mu’s troops were paying to get in.

Mr. Tan: “???”

Caught by surprise, he quickly summoned his troop back. After reconsidering, Mr. Tan decided that he could spare the Soul Crystals. He had initially thought it unnecessary, as his troops were still in their early elite stages and their wisdom was just budding. Watching the Legendary Ceremony would be pointless for them.

But if Brother Mu was this generous with his own, how could Mr. Tan let himself be outdone?

Let’s be real, nurturing them from a young age was essential… Since his troops, with their sprouting wisdom, were essentially still “young children”, giving them some enlightenment now wouldn’t hurt.

Lesson learned.

Regardless of whether others were just here for the thrilling atmosphere or to bring them luck, Mu Yuan took this seriously. He had to make the admission fee worth it.

The Dengtian Pavilion had been specially modified for this “commercial ceremony”.

The spectator seats were located on the east, west, and north sides, encircling the gigantic main venue. Separated by enchantments that produced a faint glow, one could nonetheless clearly see everything through them. In the center of the spacious pavilion stood a raised dodecagonal platform over three meters high.

The platform was lit by candles all around.

Mysterious illuminated runes lined the edge of the platform.

Mu Yuan’s eyes lit up, “Just seeing this ritual platform is worth the admission fee!”

From a distance, the platform’s inner workings were naturally hard to grasp, but it might offer some inspiration. Even as a layman, Mu Yuan found the platform incredibly profound. What more for Isloa, an expert?

She was currently focused on it, unable to look away, hoping to learn something new.

Mr. Tan and Old Brother Mai Wa were instead looking around at the crowd.

“The turnout is really impressive, the organizers must be rolling in profits.”

“But won’t us being all gathered here disturb the one trying to breakthrough?”

“That sort of thing would only concern a weakling, a true strong man wouldn’t be so easily disturbed.”

A lord walked by, his hands in his pockets. He gave Mu Yuan a brief glance, followed by a quick look at Mr. Tan, and said dismissively.

Then he simply continued on his way without looking back.

Having been shut down, Mr. Tan didn’t talkback, choosing instead to follow his gut. It made sense, considering the subtle yet suffocating pressure emanating from the lord and his accompanying generals.

Absolute power!

“That man seems to be Lord Kuang Dao — a fourth-order leader-level strongman. It’s said that his Knife Intent has reached significant attainment and he’s quite well-known even among other leaders.”

Old Brother Mai Wa, a devoted employee of One-Handed Chamber of Commerce, had keen eyes.

Mu Yuan touched the enchantment and affirmed Lord Kuang Dao’s words in his heart.

A Breakthrough effort shouldn’t be disturbed, but the disruption refers to direct interference or conflicts, such as provoking a match with the breakthrough candidate. If mere observers could disturb the one making a Breakthrough, such a person wouldn’t be able to attain Legendary status in the first place.

Moreover, this enchantment blocked everything from the outside, like a one­way mirror.

Northside Spectators’ Stand.

This was the main observation deck. Lords of breakthrough candidates and distinguished guests were seated here.

The Lord of Pan Shi City sat in the main seat, surveying everyone around him.

“There are quite a few people here, but many don’t seem to have the intention to learn. They’re just here for the excitement.”

He had organized this event for more than just making money.

The income from these Soul Crystals was insignificant to him.

He only wanted to provide a learning platform for younger lords. If it could help some fourth-order leaders gain even just a bit — let’s say an increase of 1%, or 0.1% in advancement probability — it would be worth it.

He smiled, “Well, if it helps these young ones better understand the majesty of the Legendary realm and to aspire to it, that’s not a bad thing.”

In the main Breakthrough Arena, the first strongman emerged.

He was a Three-star Stage Excellence Great Arcanist, attired in a robe resonating with a halo of magic power, holding a masterfully crafted staff, his eyes glimmering with the light of wisdom.

He had already made all the necessary preparations and had honed his ‘body’

— including his physical, mental, and energy aspects— to the highest possible level.

The Great Arcanist sat on the high platform.

After a half-hour of adjusting his breath, a magnificent energy glow rose from his body.

The moment was as overwhelming as a tsunami, making the observers outside feel like insignificant boats in the face of a monstrous wave.

Many players turned visibly pale.

But this was only the beginning. No, it hadn’t even officially begun yet.

In the distance, from the observation deck on the north, the Lord of Pan Shi City, seated at the head, stood up. Like a conductor, he slowly raised his hand, and his Lord’s Seal shone.

An invisible force, following the contract between the lord and his unit, descended onto the Great Arcanist.
