What made Chen Xuan rather curious was why only Feng Yi and Princess Luoshuang, representing two major sects of Saint Emperors, were participating. Logically speaking, with major sects standing thick as trees in the central region of Dongli Prefecture, the number of prestigious Saint Emperors entering the Ascension Grand Tournament shouldn't be fewer than those among the rogue Saint Emperors.
Seeming to perceive Chen Xuan's confusion, Hong Tan sent a voice transmission to explain: "The Ascension Grand Tournament is held once every decade. The prestigious major sects almost always have someone successfully ascend every single time, so the number of Saint Emperors they send is actually fewer than our rogue cultivators. Most importantly, the major sects can produce Saint Emperors with the strength to enter the tournament every ten years without fail—that is the terrifying aspect of top-tier sects."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan finally understood. Since the Saint Emperors from the major sects could steadily achieve a breakthrough every time they entered the Ascension Grand Tournament, the number of participants they sent next time naturally wouldn't be very large.
