Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3728 - 3747: Tear of God

"Doesn’t that mean contestants need to be all-rounders to get through that path?"

Subliminally, Lin Chen recalled the various challenges he had surmounted in the Star Sea Trial Ground, weren’t these maze game challenges in front of him remarkably similar?

Like the Holy Domain created by the Chen Ancestor, each level knocked out participants one by one until only the elite and the lucky remained.

Lin Chen was able to pass the ordeal of the Holy Domain largely thanks to collective wisdom. If he were to play this Heaven Deity game, shouldn’t he be prepared in some way?

Bringing those people back into the Linglong Tower to secretly help him strategize again?

Lin Chen quickly weighed this idea but eventually rejected it.

Since this secret realm was created by a Heaven Deity, the divine spirit would certainly be watching everyone in this game arena.

He was sure the divine spirit wouldn’t just focus on the two people coming out, but would be watching, out of curiosity if nothing else.

The secret realm crafted by the divine spirit piques curiosity about participants’ reactions and any interesting individuals worth attention.

If he cheated, the divine spirit might notice. And if the divine spirit then sensed that this tower seemed peculiar and he couldn’t sense what was inside, who knows if he might take a look?

Wouldn’t that spell disaster?

Lin Chen dared not gamble.

This was no place to take risks, with two Heaven Deities present; getting caught in trouble, he might not be able to escape.

As Heaven Deities, if they lacked the means for star sky jumping, Lin Chen would never believe it.

Xi Yunlang laughed, "You don’t have to be completely versatile, but you do need to excel at something. The more skills you excel at, the easier it will be to traverse the labyrinth."

"The labyrinth’s design comprises numerous checkpoints that aren’t connected in a single linear fashion but are parallel and chaotic. If you’re blocked at one checkpoint, you can attempt others to bypass it and eventually return to the main path, but this means more challenges and more waste of time."

Hearing this, Lin Chen completely understood the game.

Checkpoints are not independent, nor are routes; if one’s strength is sufficient, one could proceed directly, taking the shortest path and exiting the labyrinth in the least amount of time. If one’s strength falls short, encountering unpassable checkpoints means detours and wasted time.

Xi Yunlang laughed, "The essence of this game lies not only in that but also in the various opportunities within this gigantic labyrinth. You may meet reclusive cultivators who might hand you a powerful cultivation technique after some conversation, or fulfill some condition to gain medicinal pills or magical treasures..."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up; this was what Yu Qianfan meant by getting good things with good luck in the game, right?

Lin Chen was instantly interested.

Though he didn’t currently lack cultivation techniques, those offered by a Heaven Deity as rewards to saints would surely not be ordinary items. If they were of too little value, of no use to saints, wouldn’t that lower their prestige?

"Is this open to everyone?"

Yu Qianfan replied, "Of course not. Each Holy Land can send ten participants, each Heavenly Sect five, and Mystic Sect three. Those below saints are not eligible to participate."

"For Sub-Saints below the saints, the divine spirit has prepared another secret realm, open to Sub-Saint disciples, with similar participant numbers, but the Xuan Sect can send two."

Five?

Lin Chen silently counted, oh, there were exactly five from the Heavenly Crane Sect!

Sect Master Yu Qianfan, Zhao Yilong, Zhang Chenghu, Huo Lingshuang, and himself—weren’t they exactly five?

Yu Qianfan aimed directly for the game’s participant slots?

From Yu Qianfan’s perspective, attending the Heaven Deity celebration was akin to punching a time card. After all, if a divine spirit’s celebration Your sect didn’t show up, does it imply dissatisfaction with the divine spirit?

Coming with five people, everyone gets to participate in the divine spirit’s labyrinth game, and if they can acquire some great items in the game, wouldn’t that be lucrative?

After all, as long as it’s just a game, not a life-and-death battle, it’s purely for fun.

No disappointment if there’s no gain, just amusement. But if there are gains, wouldn’t that be a delightful surprise?

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s good; we happened to come with five people; let’s all participate and see if we can get anything good."

Xi Yunlang reminded, "If possible, getting through the labyrinth the fastest would be optimal, granting qualification to dine with the divine spirit, with rewards for the top three."

"Though the rewards this time are still unknown, anything presented personally by the divine spirit as a reward is undoubtedly not mediocre."

Curiously, Lin Chen asked, "What were the previous rewards?"

Xi Yunlang responded, "For the game below the saint’s secret realm, rewards include Tao Spirits, top-grade cultivation techniques, and the like; the top three are guaranteed to receive Tao Spirits, offering a chance to accent to saint status."

Lin Chen was moved; Zhuang Susu and Yao Xuanji had yet to ascend to saints.

On second thought, both were from different races, and once in the game arena, they might be targeted.

Currently, what he was preparing to do was excessively risky; if they encountered trouble, he would undoubtedly intervene, potentially attracting attention and bringing trouble.

Wait for now.

Once the Array Formation of the Heavenly God Department is destroyed, allowing the Creation God to move freely, he can produce Tao Spirits, and those Tao Spirits can later be used for trades.

"Rewards for winners of the saint sector secret realm include a sizeable number of Dao Crystals, Divine Dao Fruits, top-grade cultivation techniques, all items capable of enhancing a saint’s strength, and even the Tear of God, which forcefully elevates control over the Great Dao."

Forcefully elevate?

Lin Chen’s eyes gleamed, "What exactly is the Tear of God? I’ve never heard of it. Is it more effective than the Divine Dao Fruit and Dao Crystal?"

"Much better!"

Xi Yunlang grinned, "Dao Crystals and Divine Dao Fruits amplify strength within your extreme realm, whereas the Tear of God directly elevates your extreme limit."

"To simplify with numbers, after advancing to saint status, your strength is 1. Determined by factors like talent, your upper limit is 7. Dao Crystals and Divine Dao Fruits begin enhancing from 1, and with enough quantity, strength reaches 7. However, past 7, regardless of consumption, you can never surpass 7."

"The Tear of God’s effect directly raises your extreme strength from 7 to 8 or 9. If everyone’s limit is 7, and you have this Tear of God, your strength after the limit rises will be considerably above others."

"At the peak of the saint realm, strength elevation is extremely tough; with greater increments, effects are more significant and formidable. If incrementally enhanced and you were already formidable, in the future, you might crush others off a cliff edge..."
