Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3727 - 3746: Heaven Deity Game: Maze

Lin Chen watched the lively scene and was pulled aside by Xi Yunlang.

Lin Chen looked at Xi Yunlang in confusion: "What’s up?"

Xi Yunlang glanced at Huo Lingshuang beside him and lowered his voice: "Although we can’t find out who the murderer is, it’s obvious that they are targeting Liu Xian, and they are very well-prepared, with a Magical Treasure that restrains Star Sky Jump..."

Lin Chen’s expression was peculiar: "Right, didn’t we just mention this?"

Xi Yunlang stared at Lin Chen, reminding: "Even though they have already captured Liu Xian and taken his Star Chart Spirit, what if the Star Chart Spirit doesn’t match, or if they want more than one Star Chart Spirit?"

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, immediately understanding what Xi Yunlang meant, and he lowered his voice: "You mean they might act again, and the target could be me?"

Xi Yunlang nodded: "Yes, I’m just reminding you. Not many people know that you have the Star Chart Spirit, so you need to keep it confidential. Otherwise, you’ll easily become a target."

"Liu Xian is very strong, considered a top-level Saint. Zhao Tianjue’s strength might be a bit lacking, but he still qualifies as first-class top strength. Even when they teamed up, they couldn’t escape capture. If those people find out you have the Star Chart Spirit, they’ll definitely target you."

"You’ve only recently ascended to a Saint. Your strength certainly doesn’t compare to Liu Xian and Zhao Tianjue. If they target you, it’ll be hard for you to escape."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Thanks for the reminder. Anyway, I won’t say a word about it. During this period, I won’t go out alone. Even if they find out, there’s nothing they can do to me."

Lin Chen said this, but found it amusing in his heart.

Obviously, he himself was the murderer, and yet he was repeatedly warned to be careful of the murderer. The whole situation seemed somewhat comedic.

Nevertheless, Xi Yunlang’s proactive concern was a kind gesture, whether or not there was a reason behind not wanting to lose a "tool person" like him.

Xi Yunlang laughed: "Right, as long as you stay among people, no matter how strong they are, they wouldn’t dare cause trouble here. Exposing themselves would be a dead end."

Lin Chen changed the topic: "Have you ever attended a Divine Celebration before?"

Xi Yunlang shook his head: "It’s my first time too. When the last celebration was held, I was in Closed Door Cultivation, so I didn’t attend."

Lin Chen curiously asked: "I heard there’s a segment where the Heaven Deity dines with the major Holy Lands and some particularly outstanding cultivators?"

Xi Yunlang nodded, explaining: "Yes, that’s a time for the Heaven Deity and subordinates to communicate and interact. After all, the Heaven Deity resides in their own respective Divine Palace and doesn’t usually deal with the human world. Routine affairs are managed by the subordinate Divine Palaces. Even the Holy Lands rarely have the opportunity to face the Heaven Deity directly, so this face-to-face interaction is especially rare."

Lin Chen realized, having a general understanding of the Heavenly God Realm’s structure.

Eighteen Heaven Deities, supreme and unrivaled.

Beneath the Heaven Deities are the Heavenly God Department and each district’s Heaven Deity’s corresponding Divine Palace.

The Heaven Deities are akin to emperors of different districts, and the Divine Palaces serve the monarch, much like the provinces and ministries in ancient times. The Heavenly God Department is akin to the United Nations, and each Heaven Deity has a representative.

The Divine Palaces under the Heaven Deities have authority over their districts, but major issues of the entire Heavenly God Realm are discussed in the Heavenly God Department, forming resolutions that all districts must follow.

Beneath the Divine Palaces are the major Holy Lands, followed by the Heavenly Sect, then the Mystic Sect, and finally the Cloud Sect. As for the human world, it has corresponding institutions serving the major forces, but these lower-level matters are of no concern to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen asked curiously: "You are the most outstanding and promising Saint of the Snow Phoenix Palace, considered the successor of the next Palace Lord, so you should be qualified to attend this banquet, right?"

Xi Yunlang laughed: "I am qualified. What, are you interested in this banquet?"

Lin Chen candidly said: "I just want to see what the high and mighty Heaven Deities look like."

Xi Yunlang replied: "It’s said that on the day of the celebration, the Heaven Deities put aside their majesty and join in revelry with the people. According to the elders in the sect, when the Heaven Deities shed their divine aura, they actually look no different from us."

Lin Chen blinked: "No difference? I thought they’d be vastly different..."

Xi Yunlang lowered his voice: "Before merging the divine status to become Heaven Deities, weren’t they also Saints of the Heavenly God Realm? They’re just the same as us. Naturally, when their divine aura is shed, they look no different."

Lin Chen, who often had close encounters with the Creation God, naturally understood this point. He inquired about these things just to show his curiosity, so that later, when he asked about something or behaved a certain way, it wouldn’t seem unusual.

Lin Chen looked envious: "To face the Heaven Deity directly, to speak up close, to have dinner together, that’s really nice."

Xi Yunlang laughed: "Each Holy Land has two slots. Besides the Holy Lands, some slots are contested by sects, and the sects that succeed can send two people. Additionally, there are some individual participation activities, and the winners can also gain a spot at the banquet. If you’re interested, you can take part."

Lin Chen showed keen interest: "What kind of activities? If it’s a combat competition, my strength isn’t reliable."

Xi Yunlang laughed: "It’s not a combat competition. If it were purely based on strength, it would just be ranked directly. I asked the elders in the sect, and they said it’s a game."

Lin Chen laughed: "Do elaborate?"

Xi Yunlang laughed: "The Heaven Deity will create a Secret Realm where all the entering Saints are suppressed to the early Saint Realm."

"Although everyone’s strength upon entering the Saint Realm varies, it reflects their respective strength in some way, maintaining general fairness. Otherwise, Saints who just ascended would be suppressed by those who have cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up: "Competing at the same realm?"

"Right, the Secret Realm is like an Amusement Park, featuring various obstacles. The sole purpose of those entering the Secret Realm is to emerge from it, and the first to come out will be the winner, gaining the qualification to dine with the Heaven Deity."

Lin Chen asked in surprise: "Navigating a labyrinth, is that it?"

"It sounds simple, but it’s not that easy."

Xi Yunlang replied: "The labyrinth isn’t just a walk-through. The obstacles require showcasing a variety of strengths. If you’re blocked by an obstacle, you might remain stuck there, even if just one step away from the endpoint..."
