I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Divine Power?

Chu Shen, who was watching the battle at the Ping'an Inn, seemed lost in thought.

The cultivation methods of the Dongxuan Heaven are countless, with thousands of different ways. However, whether it is the human cultivators who focus on spiritual power, the demon cultivators who rely on demonic power, or other recognized paths of cultivation, most of them draw their strength from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Through the extraction and refinement of this spiritual energy, they transform it into their own power.

Cultivation methods that do not rely on this foundation are mostly seen as evil paths, even by the demon race and other ethnic groups.

Because cultivation methods always require a source of power, if not from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then what can be used as the source of power?

Taking demonic cultivation as an example, these outcasts among cultivators not only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through conventional means, but also have a special fondness for becoming stronger by plundering the spiritual power of others.

This method of becoming stronger through the means of plundering others' power, without putting in one's own effort, is comparable to robbery by bandits. How could it not be condemned by everyone?

As for divine power... Although it is not as bloody and cruel as the method of plundering others' power used by demonic cultivators, it is still controversial.

In ancient times, there was a period when divine power prevailed in the Dongxuan Heaven. For example, during the era of the ancient heavenly court, the Heavenly Emperor conferred countless divine beings. The influence of these divine beings still remains to this day, and there are countless divine tombs in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Chu Shen even used these ancient tombs to kill a group of young elites from prestigious families.

However, each era has its own version.

During the era of the ancient heavenly court, the path of divine power flourished because the Heavenly Emperor at that time possessed the "Heavenly Mandate" bestowed by the heavens. The Heavenly Emperor conferred divine beings as a way to fulfill the duties of the heavens, dividing the authority of the heavens among others.

This was still based on the power source of heaven and earth, so the path of divine power at that time was considered righteous.

To this day, the laws of heaven and earth have changed countless times. Although destiny still exists, it has transformed into the "true dragon's national fortune," controlled by the true destined emperor. It fluctuates with the changes in the country's fortune, forming a completely new situation. This is also the reason why various immortal dynasties, despite possessing powerful techniques and cultivators, still experience dynastic changes.

Even destiny has changed in this way, naturally, the Heavenly Emperor no longer exists, and even the Heavenly Court has disappeared. The path of divine power has also changed its flavor. In the present era, the path of divine power is more similar to the wild gods and lascivious temples of ancient times.

If the path of evil cultivation is like robbery, a business without any foundation, then in the present world, these wild gods and lascivious temples are engaged in lending business.

Some extremely powerful beings proclaim themselves as gods and sign contracts with the weak, providing them with power. Once the contract is fulfilled and the purpose is achieved, the power, even the soul, is reclaimed.

There are many such paths, including the existence of the Dongxuan Heaven's native land, and even traces of powerful beings from beyond the heavens.

It's just unknown from which existence this team that assassinated Duke Deng obtained their power.

And at the scene of the assassination, even someone as powerful as Duke Bo chose to retreat with Duke Deng because he was unsure of the source of these assassins' divine power.

The weak wild gods and lascivious temples are not a concern, as their divine power is limited and they can lend even less.

But if it's a powerful existence, or even a follower of certain beings from beyond the heavens who are on a different level from cultivators, then it would be troublesome!

However, the assassins have paid a great price. How could they let Duke Deng go at the best opportunity?

"Kill the thieves!"

The assassins erupted with excitement. Duke Deng's forces, already heavily impacted by the weight of the sword intent, finally couldn't hold on. Under the great morale slump, their formation was continuously broken, and some of the faster assassins even broke through Duke Bo's defenses and engaged in combat with him.

The weight on Bo Gong's heart grew heavier.

Most of these assassins' strength is clearly around the Foundation Building stage. As a Gold Core cultivator, he should be able to easily wipe out a group of them with a single slap. However, after engaging in direct combat, they seemed to be like cockroaches that couldn't be killed. Under the protection of that yellow light, their ability to harm him was greatly weakened!

Originally, a palm strike that could split mountains and rocks would probably be inexplicably neutralized by the power of the yellow light, turning into a move that could only inflict serious injuries on the opponent. However, even if the opponent was seriously injured, they would quickly be healed by the yellow light and become even more fanatical in their pursuit of him.

That's why many cultivators hate divine power so much. This thing doesn't follow any logic!

"In the name of the Yellow Sky, peace shall prevail!"

Seeing that even a Gold Core cultivator couldn't directly kill them, these assassins became even more excited, and their attempts to kill Duke Bo became more frequent.

However, no matter how hard Duke Bo and his personal army resisted, they couldn't achieve any significant results.

Chu Shen had already seen through the pseudo Eight Trigrams Mirror that there was a group of cavalry outside the city, which had originally been setting up camp, urgently mounting their horses and preparing to support the city of Yongzhou.

No, these assassins have already reached this point. We can't let Duke Bo escape!

Thinking of Tuoba Li's sneak attack, Chu Shen was filled with hatred.

Another reason that made him want to kill Duke Bo was that he was the mastermind, commander, and most determined opponent in the operation to hunt him down. Once Duke Bo died, the pursuit team, without a leader, would have less energy to devote to capturing him. It was an uncertain situation!

He made up his mind and took out a simple and ancient-looking bow from his storage bag. It exuded a solemn aura and had a blood-like color.

This bow is the curse-lifting inheritance of Xiniang's bloodline. After unlocking the achievement of dual cultivation with him, it is one of the rewards obtained from the system, named "Qiankun Bow". At that time, three "Zhen Tian Arrows" were also obtained, which are said to be the divine weapons left behind by the ancient Houyi when he shot down the sun.

However, compared to treasures like the "Wind and Fire Wheel" and the "Seven Nailed Arrows", this set of rewards is different - they are genuine, truly capable of shooting down the sun, divine bow and divine arrows!

To be honest, when Chu Shen obtained this set of divine weapons, he was dumbfounded. According to the information from the system, these genuine divine weapons are unique and have a very, very low chance of being obtained. He never expected to win the lottery.

However, this set of rewards is powerful but should not be used lightly.

Firstly, the quantity of "Zhen Tian Arrows" is limited. These divine arrows, capable of killing ancient beasts and even shooting down the sun, would be wasted on opponents of lower status. Moreover, these divine arrows are very special and disposable, once used, they cannot be recovered. Therefore, Chu Shen never thought of using them casually, and even considered them as treasures to be kept in a family heirloom cabinet.

Secondly, the "Qiankun Bow" is not as easy to use as it seems. It is a genuine weapon exclusive to the likes of Houyi, an ancient divine being. For Chu Shen, who is only at the Spirit Gathering stage of cultivation, fully exerting the power of this divine bow is nothing but a dream.

He had tried before, using all his strength, including auxiliary treasures like the "False Dan", but could only slightly draw the "Qiankun Bow". After shooting an arrow to test the power of the divine bow, the feeling of releasing a surge of spiritual energy was unforgettable.

The consumption of using this bow is simply too great!

Of course, the power of the arrows shot out completely justifies this consumption. According to his estimation, even if he uses the most ordinary arrows, one shot would probably be enough to explode a Gold Core. If the arrows are more special, even a Nascent Soul might not be able to withstand the shot.

Now, after taking out the "Qiankun Bow", he is preparing to use specially made arrows, which can be considered the best option available from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

He believes that this shot will definitely make Duke Dengguo... very! satisfied!
