New Era Battle Tournament

## Background & Calamity Light

It was initially called the Nine Western Territories Young Experts' Competition but due to Davis Loret killing many powerhouses of the Nine Western Territories and from other Territories, the 4 Great Righteous Sects decided to include the entire righteous path including Large- and Mid-Size Territories. Of course this was only the public justification given to the world by the 4 Great Righteous Sects; the real reason the tournament was changed this way was because of the divination of Karmic Guardian Emperor which indicated that the Source would appear at the tournament.

The tournament came to an abrupt end after the final battle of the 8th Stage Segment with Myria being exposed as the Source of the Calamity Light.

## Trivia

* The insights into King Soul Stage and the Soul Forging Manuals up to High-Level Emperor Grade were not part of the original rewards for the Top 10 of the 8th stage segment, however Davis Loret decided to do that to sow karma and hope it does something good.
* The Soul Palace's unexpected rewards (for 8th stage segment) caused the 4 Great Righteous Sects to add the Undaunted Lotus Purple Flowers as rewards for the Top 5, which once refined into a pill would help cultivators step into the King Soul Stage with ease. Initially, this reward would have served no purpose as the geniuses would have little to no insights (comprehension) for the King Soul Stage which would not have helped them.
