Chapter 524

Buzz…

The stone tablet suddenly trembled, but then it quickly became silent .

“Is this really the case?” Shui Wuhen sighed disappointedly .

“Sister, did I not use enough force?” asked Long Chen .

“You can try circulating your full strength,” said Shui Wuhen .

Buzz…

Long Chen fully activated the FengFu Star and Alioth Star, and his spiritual qi surged out, but it didn’t cause any reaction with the stone tablet .

“It’s fine, there’s no need to keep trying . You aren’t a Celestial,” sighed Shui Wuhen .

Long Chen pulled back his energy and asked, “What is a Celestial? What relations.h.i.+p does it have to the stone tablet?”

“Celestials are the true favorites of heaven and earth . The legends are that Celestials are heavenly geniuses born to deal with worldly calamities . The heavens pamper them, blessing them with karmic luck, and their combat strength is shocking .

“Within the supermonastery, there are countless Favored, but compared to Celestials, they aren’t even fit to wipe their shoes . If I were to make a comparison, Favored are blades of gra.s.s and flowers, while Celestials are towering trees .

“The gra.s.s is the cornerstone of the world, but then Celestials are this world’s towering pillars . They are the leading characters of this world .

“At the level of top geniuses, only Celestials are able to remain unrivaled within the same realm and can fight across realms . When they fight, karmic luck supports them, and that mysterious energy makes them unrivaled .

“It can be said that once a Celestial matures to their peak, they are the peak figures of the cultivation world, capable of looking down on anyone else .

“Other than that, they have another special point . If a Celestial has awoken, then when they advance to Bone Forging, the heavens will bring down heavenly tribulation on them, using thunderforce to temper their physical body and will, stabilizing their foundation . That is what it means to be the favored of the heavens,” sighed Shui Wuhen .

There’s such a good thing in this world? When I undergo tribulation, aren’t the heavens just purely trying to kill me? Why can’t I feel a trace of that kindheartedness? Long Chen was filled with a sensation of unfairness .

“This Celestial Tablet was formed with a Celestial Stone at the core . It is extremely sensitive to the Heavenly Daos, and it used specifically to test Celestials .

“Celestials are split into their own levels . Do you see the nine flowers on the stele? If a Celestial circulates their spiritual qi, those flowers will light up .

“The more flowers that light up, the higher the rank of the Celestial, and the more blessed they are by the heavens . One flower makes you a rank one Celestial, while nine flowers make you a rank nine Celestial . Rank nine Celestials are known as true Celestials, and such figures only exist in legends . It’s unknown how many years have pa.s.sed since one has appeared .

“As for rank one to rank eight, those are actually just quasi-Celestials . However, in the current cultivation world, they are still lumped together as Celestials .

“Since you underwent a tribulation at the Bone Forging realm, you should be a Celestial . At worst, you should at least be a rank one Celestial . It really is odd,” sighed Shui Wuhen .

Long Chen bitterly smiled inside . He hadn’t just undergone tribulation at Bone Forging; he had started going through tribulation since Blood Condensation . If it hadn’t been for the Spirit World expert’s reminder, he’d have long since been dead .

Just thinking of how the heavens had made a Blood Condensation rookie undergo tribulation, Long Chen had an urge to curse the nonsensical heavens .

“Sister, even if I’m not a Celestial, it doesn’t matter . With my strength, I wouldn’t be inferior to anyone,” consoled Long Chen .

“Fool, you just don’t know how terrifying Celestials are . Let me tell you something, that Yin Wushang who you cursed is a rank one Celestial,” said Shui Wuhen .

“What? Even he’s a Celestial? The heavens will bless him? Then the heavens really are blind . ” Long Chen shook his head, aggrieved at the unfairness .

“Ah, don’t feel so indignant . Although you aren’t a Celestial, your strength wouldn’t rank you beneath Celestials .

“Within the same realm, perhaps you can fight with one of them for a while . But remember, when facing Celestials, you cannot try fighting across realms, because that’s just suicide,” warned Shui Wuhen .

“I understand . ” Long Chen nodded obediently . He knew she was worried he would be too obstinate .

It wasn’t as if he was an idiot . Of course he wouldn’t just stubbornly clash with someone head-on when he would be the only one to suffer losses .

“If my guess is correct, Yin Wushang came today mostly to see whether or not you are a Celestial, and also to test your strength,” said Shui Wuhen .

“I know . That’s why I didn’t expose my true strength when I fought just now . If it hadn’t been for the Meridian Opening Spirit Cliff Fruit, I wouldn’t have even bothered to accept such a senseless challenge . ” Long Chen smiled when he thought of the Meridian Opening Fruit .

He had already sent it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, and the saplings had already grown over a foot tall . Just looking at that scene made him feel happy .

“For a single Meridian Opening Spirit Cliff Fruit to make you this happy, you really must not have any worries,” said Shui Wuhen helplessly .

To agree to a death match with someone just because of a fruit… Sometimes she felt that when Long Chen was smart, he was frighteningly smart, but when he was foolish, he pushed the bounds of a person’s imagination .

“However, the fact that you didn’t expose the Split the Heavens Battle Skill is at least a bit smart . After this, bring my tablet to go select some Heaven cla.s.s Battle Skills from the Battle Skill Pavilion . Try not to use Split the Heavens .
