Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3760 - 3779: Star Chart Spirit Exposed!

It’s here!

Lin Chen thought to himself, he had long anticipated this moment.

No matter if it was the originally set award procedure or his identity as a foreigner, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the heavenly gods.

Either some polite words would be exchanged or displeasure would be evident. Either way, something must be said.

The Earth God, who had hardly spoken before, glanced at Lin Chen, his voice steady, revealing no joy or anger: "Our Heavenly God Paradise has opened so many times, but this time it is interesting indeed; the first place was won by a young alien race cultivator..."

As soon as the Earth God spoke, the entire main hall fell silent.

The Sect Masters of various sects became more solemn, lowering their gaze, not daring to confront the Earth God.

Is the Earth God mocking everyone for not being strong enough?

Lin Chen’s mind raced. Since the earth god had already mentioned him, silence was definitely not an option. So, he thought it better to try speaking out.

Lin Chen stood up, cupped his hands, and saluted: "Lin Chen from Heavenly Crane Sect, greets the two Lord Heavenly Gods!"

Earth God stared at Lin Chen: "How did you win first place?"

Lin Chen replied respectfully: "I have the five-element spiritual roots, which gives me an advantage after entering sanctum, although the journey is difficult. The Heavenly God Paradise suppressed all contestants to the saint’s initial realm, which gave me considerable convenience. Coupled with a bit of good fortune encountered along the way, I was merely lucky enough to secure first place."

"In a different environment, without realm suppression, I wouldn’t even make it into the top hundred..."

A sudden sense of realization spread across the faces of the people in the main hall.

Five-element spiritual roots?

That explains it!

That explains why he is so powerful; it turns out the rules gave him an advantage.

Many people felt relieved of their initial frustration.

Lord Heavenly God, it’s not that our geniuses aren’t strong enough. It’s just that we advance with one Tao spirit, and he advances with five, which means the investment cost is five times higher. Upon becoming a saint, his starting point is naturally higher than regular cultivators.

Lord Heavenly God, the rules you set helped him. It’s not that our people didn’t work hard.

Even though everyone knows that after Heavenly God suppresses the realm, it actually places everyone on the same starting line, the final outcome still revealed many issues. But people always need to find reasons for their failures, right?

Can’t die of frustration, can we?

Besides, this reason wasn’t invented by us; it’s what he said himself.

Earth God laughed: "Five-element spiritual roots. You must be very impressive, being of an alien race yet finding five Tao spirits and advancing to break the realm. Heavenly Crane Sect must be really attentive to you."

Lin Chen quickly searched for a reply; how should he address this?

Both Taohua Palace and Snow Phoenix Palace lords were there!

Even though Lin Chen didn’t want to reveal his abilities of starfield jumping, at this point he had no choice but to speak.

If he didn’t, perhaps Snow Phoenix Palace or Taohua Palace would mention it.

No, it’s not just them. Wolf Fang Hall and Divine Dragon Sect also know, and they’re very unfriendly to me!

I cannot hide. If I hide and they expose me, it would be deceiving the heavenly gods, and Fire God or Earth God would have reason to deal with me.

I won the competition fair and square, under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The two Lord Heavenly Gods wouldn’t slap their own face and do anything to me. Even if they want to end me, it should be a matter for the future.

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said: "The Heavenly Crane Sect treated me fairly, regarded me as a regular sect disciple, treated me equally without special privileges. My sanctum ascension was aided by the assistance of Snow Phoenix Palace and Taohua Palace; without their help, it would have been impossible for me to ascend."

Xi Yunlang, Lan Shuiying, I’m using your sect master to deflect criticism, hope you don’t blame me.

After all, you are among the most reliable sanctums under the heavenly gods; surely the heavenly gods will grant you some face.

Earth God showed a surprised expression, glancing at the seating of Snow Phoenix Palace and Taohua Palace: "Is there really such a thing?"

Fire God also looked shocked, turning to ask: "I’m curious too, you two sects are holy lands, why would you help him? After all, he is a foreigner..."

In the heavenly realm, everyone naturally knows the status of different races. Fire God didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

Snow Phoenix Palace Lord stood up and answered respectfully: "The cause was last time, during the Thousand Saints Conference exploring the outer domain and hunting the outer heaven demon. At that time, the eerie gathering of outer heaven demons appeared in large groups, besieging our trial teams."

"At that time, my team of about thirty people from Snow Phoenix Palace was surrounded and hunted by seventy to eighty heavenly demons. We fled, eventually meeting Taohua Palace’s team, which was in a similar situation."

"The combined forces of our two sects were in extremely dangerous straits. The number of outer heaven demons surrounding us increased, reaching over a hundred, making escape nearly impossible."

Everyone widened their eyes and perked their ears.

So that’s what happened?

Such an affair, does it have something to do with this foreigner kid?

Snow Phoenix Palace Lord continued: "At the critical moment, it was Lin Chen who intervened, bringing all sixty members of us out of the encirclement and danger. If not for him, at least half of us would have been killed or injured..."

Earth God interrupted Snow Phoenix Palace Lord: "He was only a sub-saint at that time, how could he have helped you?"

Snow Phoenix Palace Lord threw an apologetic glance at Lin Chen.

He knew Lin Chen didn’t want to reveal his possession of the spirit of the star map, but at this point he couldn’t help conceal it further, especially since if he didn’t speak, Divine Dragon Sect and Wolf Fang Hall would, so he might as well come clean.

"Although Lin Chen is of a foreigner, he carries destiny, obtaining the spirit of the star map, possessing the great divine power of starfield jumping..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the main hall widened their eyes, shocked at Lin Chen.

This foreigner kid actually possesses the spirit of the star map!

This is too heaven-defying!

Many of us don’t even have it, yet you, a foreigner kid, not even a saint, already possess the spirit of the star map; most importantly, you’ve subdued it?

Even saints dare not claim they can certainly subdue the spirit of the star map, yet you, a sub-saint, managed to do it?

This is too embarrassing.

Earth God frowned; the news truly surprised him.

In that instant, he didn’t have any greedy thought about immediately hunting Lin Chen and seizing his spirit of the star map, because he himself also possessed it.

He was simply amazed that this guy’s luck was too good.

Fire God laughed heartily: "Kid, you really have luck, getting the spirit of the star map and gaining its recognition. No wonder the Heavenly Crane Sect acknowledged you, accepting you as an official disciple..."

Heavenly Crane Sect!

What a stroke of luck they have, silently recruiting an alien with the great divine power of starfield jumping into the sect!

No wonder they’re so friendly toward Lin Chen, it’s all because there’s profit to be made!
