Chapter 2068: Chapter 2088: The True Son of Luck_1

"Are you in the early stages of being a celestial being? How old are you?"

Hong Guilin, a young woman dressed in a blue robe, was sizing up Lin Chen. She seemed somewhat unsatisfied and began to ask him directly.

Lin Chen smiled, "Pretty old. Perhaps I’m on my last legs, but even so, I won’t die that easily."

Lin Chen’s message was simple: it doesn’t matter how old I am, or even if I’m about to die. I won’t die that quickly and certainly not while entering the Milky Way Secret Realm. So, you don’t need to worry about me.

Hong Guilin raised an eyebrow and turned to the mediator, "Couldn’t you have found us a late-stage celestial being?"

The mediator smiled and said, "Team formation is a mutual choice. You pick others, but they also have to choose their teammates. Our friend Lin here is the most suitable candidate."

Xiao Shubo, a young man sitting cross-legged, interjected arrogantly, "It’s fine. As long as we have five Celestials, we can operate the Five Unbeatable Formations. Strength doesn’t matter much; it’s enough to just gather the team."

Hong Guilin argued, "The Milky Way Secret Realm is full of crises. Isn’t more strength always better than less?"

Xiao Shubo replied coldly, "Considering you’re only in the early stages of being a celestial being, why would a late-stage, or even a peak celestial, want to team up with you? They could kill you with a slap. What’s in it for them?"

Hong Guilin said angrily, "Xiao Shubo, I’m suggesting this for everyone’s benefit. Why are you targeting me?"

Xiao Shubo responded calmly, "I’m just stating facts."

The two continued to clash as Song Jun, a man sitting nearby, tried to mediate, "We should discuss matters peacefully. If we manage to form a team, we’ll be allies facing various dangers. Why start fighting now?"

The remaining woman dressed in colorful clothes, Lu Xinyan, calmly said, "Let’s stop it here. Enough fussing."

Upon hearing Lu Xinyan’s words, Hong Guilin clicked her tongue and grumbled, "Fine, have it your way. I guess I’m the one talking too much."

Lin Chen remained silent, as he had no intention of sticking with the group for too long. He could leave anytime.

Seeing no more disputes, the mediator presented a Promise Doll with a smile.

Lin Chen had heard about Promise Dolls before, but it was his first time seeing one. He initially thought the doll would have a supernatural appearance, but upon seeing it, he was disappointed.

Is that it?

The Promise Doll was about three feet tall. It was a wooden statue with crude carving work. The face of the doll was empty, but at the center of its belly, there were intricate patterns forming a circular shape. In the middle of the circle, there was an ornate character for ’oath.’

Lin Chen squinted his eyes; he sensed the ’Dao’ energy within it. Seems like this Promise Doll was made by a great power mastering the Dao of Promises. The character ’oath’ was probably carved by the hands of this power, with the Dao energy infused within it.

The vows were predefined and carefully considered, leaving no loophole but also not excessively restricting the oath maker.

After inspecting it and making sure it was fine, everyone squeezed a drop of blood from their heart onto the ’oath’ symbol. They then read the oath script, and that was it.

Lin Chen felt a unique connection with the others. When everyone finished making their vows, this feeling faded quickly into oblivion. But he knew if he broke his oath, the consequences would be severe.

After the mediator left with a smile, Xiao Shubo glanced at the rest and said solemnly, "I’m at the mid-Tianxian Stage, just a step away from the late stage. I’ll be the team leader. Hopefully, no one has a problem with that."

"No objections."

"Considering your strength and the Five Unbeatable Formations, we will naturally follow you."

"Alright!"

Xiao Shubo nodded approvingly, "Although none of us has reached the late Tianxian Stage, with my Five Unbeatable Formations and our combined efforts, we might stand a chance against even the peak Celestials. As long as we don’t provoke enemies above Da Luo level, we should be safe."

"Besides, there’s something else I should tell you. I have a strong luck destiny. My fortune has always been well, whether it’s treasure hunting or exploring. I never return empty-handed unless there’s absolutely no treasure in the place I’ve explored."

Everyone, including Lin Chen, opened their eyes wide, a mix of surprise and delight in their gaze.

Strong luck destiny?

Lin Chen had heard of such a destiny. Simply put, those with such a destiny are the true Sons of Luck, favored by Heaven. They would discover gold walking down a main road and find immortal medicine strolling down a path!

Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised. His own luck had been generally good, and people had often called him a son of luck. Today, was he meeting a real deal?

All of a sudden, Lin Chen’s expectations for the upcoming adventure surged!
