Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3729 - 3748: You Can’t Take All the Benefits
This is great!
After Xi Yunlang’s introduction, Lin Chen felt energized.
Yes, indeed!
No matter how you see it, participating in this Celestial Game is different from other secret realm explorations, which are filled with various dangers. In this game, at most you lose and don’t get any rewards, but you won’t lose your life.
Exploration can always be very rewarding, but it comes with great risks.
There might be high profit, but you may die.
Such an opportunity is certainly a difficult choice for the vast majority of Saints.
Whether one can gain a good reward through many trials is a question, but in the Celestial Game, you don’t have to worry about that.
Either admit defeat or win and get rewards.
No injury, who wouldn’t like it?
No wonder Yu Qianfan told Lin Chen with such a joyful tone to attend the celebration and participate in the Celestial Game, which might bring generous rewards.
"Alright, I’ll try my best. Let’s see if I can join you at the Celestial Banquet?"
Xi Yunlang said with a laugh, "I have a lot of confidence in you. After all, you can’t be predicted with common sense. If you participate, maybe you’ll win?"
Lin Chen laughed, "Thanks for your kind words. I’ll try my best."
Xi Yunlang looked at Lin Chen and whispered, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the spots for this banquet are very limited even in the Holy Land. It’s already hard for me to enter by myself, and I’m going in as an accompanying figure, with no real say. So don’t think I’m not helping you."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No, no, what are you thinking? I just want to know about it, I never thought of you taking me in."
Xi Yunlang whispered reassuringly, "I asked around, and it’s basically just that. More people are after the prestige of saying they had dinner with the Celestial one year or month, chatting with the Celestial." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"That prestige might be useful for ordinary people, but for truly powerful individuals, it’s a completely worthless gimmick."
"Everyone knows about the celebration, but can having a meal really change your fate and make you stronger? Not really, it’s just another bragging experience."
Lin Chen looked at Xi Yunlang with surprise, not expecting someone of his status to say such things.
According to your role, shouldn’t you respect the Celestial immensely?
Why are you demeaning them?
Xi Yunlang looked into Lin Chen’s eyes, smiled, and whispered, "Some things are just spoken but not seen through by everyone, of course, everyone will eagerly support it. After all, it doesn’t require any cost, who wouldn’t participate under such conditions?"
Lin Chen stared at Xi Yunlang, his expression strange, "I thought people in the Heavenly God Realm would hold the Celestial in utmost awe and admiration, but hearing you, it seems that’s not quite the case."
Xi Yunlang chuckled and whispered, "Didn’t I just say, before becoming Celestial, weren’t they just like you and me, all Saints? Now they’re Celestial, which just means they’re stronger than you and me, nothing more."
"The Creation God was hunted down by other divinities, didn’t he also get injured, didn’t he also die? Even as a Celestial, one can’t claim to be immortal, so thinking of it this way, what’s the fundamental difference?"
"In essence, Celestials are just stronger versions of us, wouldn’t you agree?"
Lin Chen nodded, he agreed with this viewpoint.
Celestials are indeed just more powerful cultivators, if they are killed, they die just the same.
Isn’t the Creation God a living example?
He watched how he was almost annihilated, then rebuilt his flesh and soul step by step, finally regaining his position as Celestial.
Under normal circumstances, if he hadn’t learned a hiding method in the Black Hole, the divine status fragments after his self-destruction wouldn’t have escaped the search of the other gods and would have been thoroughly wiped out.
After his death, a new puppet Creation God would be born.
"When is this Celestial Game happening?"
Xi Yunlang replied, "When the celebration begins, after the ceremonies, it will start, lasts some time, and after the Celestial Game ends, the Celestial will descend to attend the grand event, and have dinner with everyone. Then, the entire celebration ends."
"During the whole Celestial Game phase, celebrations continue with various events, but these have nothing to do with the participants of the Celestial Game."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Are you going to participate in the Celestial Game? After all, you already have the qualification to attend the meeting..."
"I’m not participating."
Xi Yunlang said with a laugh, "Snow Phoenix Palace is full of experts, I can’t take all the advantages, I have to leave some opportunities for others, don’t you think?"
Lin Chen nodded, laughing, "That’s true."
"Xi Yunlang, let’s go."
A call came from other Snow Phoenix Palace members, Xi Yunlang turned back to respond, then said with a laugh, "We’ve spent quite some time here, I’ll come by later for a good tea."
"Alright!"
After Xi Yunlang left, Lin Chen and Huo Lingshuang exchanged a glance and continued to wander around.
Huo Lingshuang transmitted to Lin Chen, "Will this alarm the Celestial? After all, taking action against Holy Land Elders and the Deputy Sect Master before the celebration, is somewhat serious. What if the Celestial feels offended and comes personally?"
Lin Chen felt a bit uncertain, "It shouldn’t be a big issue, after all, it’s been so many days."
Huo Lingshuang whispered, "That’s good, thinking about Celestial involvement, it makes me a bit anxious."
"What’s there to worry about?"
Lin Chen reassured, "Didn’t Xi Yunlang say, they’re just stronger cultivators, that’s all."
Huo Lingshuang agreed with an ’um’, asking nothing further.
Huo Lingshuang had helped gather information before but hadn’t participated in taking action against Zhao Tianjue and Liu Xian, so she didn’t know exactly how Lin Chen managed it.
It was curious how Zhao Tianjue and Liu Xian, so powerful, were dealt with by Lin Chen so quietly?
Huo Lingshuang was curious but didn’t ask.
While Lin Chen shared some secrets with her, regarded her as a friend, friends should have boundaries, especially with someone like Lin Chen, whose hands hold many hidden cards, incredibly mysterious.
If he doesn’t voluntarily say, don’t ask, if it’s convenient, he’d let you know, like with Wolong Sect, Holy Domain, and other matters.
Huo Lingshuang is probably the most knowledgeable about Lin Chen’s secrets within the entire Heavenly God realm, others either being controlled to serve him or imprisoned in the Linglong Tower, never to escape.
Huo Lingshuang changed the topic, "In the Celestial Game, I wonder if we can form teams..."
