Chapter 708

In truth, Li Dai had considered before that there might be something wrong with the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Netherworld City, but at the time it was merely a vague intuition, impossible to confirm. In the end, the Cultivation World is a place where power reigns supreme. Many work themselves to the bone to cultivate, some even engaging in ascetic practices, specifically seeking out harsh environments to temper themselves and achieve sublimation. The Hundred Flowers Banquet was like a pie falling from the sky—a pie where only one’s appearance needed to be outstanding, everything else being irrelevant to gain immense benefits. It seemed as though beauty was everything. But looking at it from another angle, the Netherworld City selected so many stunning beauties—beauties for whom there were no requirements regarding strength—and provided them with countless resources while fulfilling an impossible wish. To a cultivator, such a good deal was simply abnormal. In the Cultivation World, without strength, you could be killed or plundered at any moment. Even with the most beautiful face, you would only be a plaything to be discarded at will. Therefore, the very existence of the Hundred Flowers Banquet was fundamentally irrational.
