Celestial/Quotes

== Celestials, Favored, Chosen ==
"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 grass and flowers, while Celestials are towering trees.
"The grass 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.
== Innate vs. Acquired ==
"Before entering the Immemorial Path, the sect master told me that (rank 3) Celestials are split into innate (先天) and acquired (后天) types.Original: 三品天行者分为先天和后天 (the terms used are Xiantian and Houtian, not to be confused with Xiantian and Houtian realms) The power difference between them is like heaven and earth. Now I finally understand what she meant," sighed Long Chen.
"Acquired refers to using outer power to increase the innate rank. For example, Shui Guanzhi was originally an innate rank two Celestial. Later, he relied on the Heavenly Water Pearl to advance to a rank three Celestial. But his talent was originally only enough to become a rank two Celestial.
"Using outer power to increase his rank makes him an acquired Celestial. As for Huang Junmo, Xue You, and the others, they are innate rank three Celestials.
"If I were to make an analogy, acquired rank three Celestials are stalks of grass that have grown three feet tall to reach their current limit. But innate rank three Celestials are three-foot-tall saplings. Whether it is their current quality or their potential for growth in the future, there is an immense difference," explained Long Chen.
Guo Ran nodded in understanding. But he was also shocked. This was his first time hearing of this. He had actually thought that all Celestials had climbed up equally.
Thinking of that, his newfound confidence immediately received a blow. Those innate Celestials were the true favorites. No matter how hard others tried, it was useless. What grass could grow taller than a tree?
== Golden fate lines ==
The Eastern Wasteland Bell had mentioned golden fate lines:
The Eastern Wasteland Bell had said that Celestials were protected by great karmic luck. Defeating one of them could be easy, but to kill that person would be extremely, extremely difficult. That was because the Heavenly Daos would always help them. Luck would always be on their side.
Unless you had absolute power, it was essentially impossible to kill a rank nine Celestial. They were the favorites of heaven and earth. As for killing four at once, that was even less likely.
