“Flag Leader need not worry, Divine Grace is a good thing.”

Bu Yancheng, thinking that Chu Xisheng didn’t understand the details of “Divine Grace” and was worrying about Bai Xiaozhao, laughed heartily again: “Our ‘Bloodline Talent’ arises from awakening the seals within our own bodies, so these are inherently ours, not gifts from the gods.

Divine Grace merely unseals our Bloodline Seals, and these seals are like the integrity of those corrupt officials, once broken through, they are hardly restorable to their original state.

It becomes much easier to break through them again next time.

So even if those deities take back the Divine Grace they gave us, stripping us of our talents, we can break through again in a very short time.

There is an elder in our Demon Battle Tower, a Third Grade practitioner, who angered War God Li Tan and had half of his Bloodline Talent stripped away.

However, he was well prepared, having purchased a top-grade Spiritual Medicine in advance, and with the power of the medicine, his vitality surged through the Twelve-story Building, restoring him to his original state within a day—”

At this moment, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

As he listened, Chu Xisheng fell into deep thought.

“There is just one thing!

We can use Divine Grace to obtain Bloodline Talent, but we must never use divine power to enhance our Primordial Skill cultivation, as this is a major taboo for us Martial Cultivators!”

Bu Yancheng’s face grew solemn: “The nine grades and eighteen levels of a Martial Cultivator are like constructing a building, every secret medicine is an indispensable beam of this building.

The power of those giant gods can indeed replace these ‘beams,’ allowing our cultivation to increase.

But once they pull out these ‘beams,’ the whole building collapses.

This is not like Bloodline Talent, where all the necessary Bloodline Talents are like furniture and decorations inside a mansion; if taken away, they can simply be replaced.

Although urgent, they are not irreplaceable.”

Chu Xisheng nodded slightly.

He had heard of this theory long before.

Hence, since the system was activated, he had used only Martial Arts Points and Blood Essence Points to enhance his talents, never using them for advancement in cultivation, never lacking a single secret medicine.

Chu Xisheng also never used commercial items from the strategic management module to directly enhance his subordinates’ cultivations.

This was not only because the system’s enhancement of cultivative Primordial Skill was only moderately effective, but also because Chu Xisheng worried that someday the ‘building’ he made might collapse.

“—Therefore, the Flag Leader absolutely need not worry.”

Bu Yancheng continued speaking, shaking his head, as he shifted his gaze away from Bai Xiaozhao: “Bai Xiaozhao’s situation is ambiguous; she has awakened her bloodline three consecutive times, a feat only Divine Grace could accomplish.

The state during her bloodline awakening also bears some resemblance to Divine Grace.

But she neither worships any deity nor does she show any abnormal spiritual mechanism reactions in her body, and no ‘Miracles’ appear around her, so this is probably not Divine Grace.”

He paused, scoffing disbelievingly: “Certainly, it wouldn’t be the Flag Leader who bestowed Divine Grace upon her, although she does respect you quite a bit.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng wore a look of subtle peculiarity.

Bu Yancheng’s words had indeed revealed the truth.

Divine Grace, huh?

Chu Xisheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming complex as he turned toward his system panel.

He had been wondering all along what his system actually was?

Chu Xisheng then burst into silent laughter, and using his thoughts, he opened the Martial Arts Treasure Vault, continuing to refresh the items within.

With the battle imminent, from Taishan to Xiushui County, Chu Xisheng had been frantically refreshing the Treasure Vault without regard to cost.

His intent was to enhance his personal power as much as possible before reaching his destination.

In these four hours, he had spent over thirty Blood Essence Points.

Chu Xisheng mused that free lunches simply don’t fall from the sky—

The problem was that the pie had already fallen, and he had already eaten the lunch for free.

Without the assistance of the system, he would have died several times over already.

To say that the system, his ‘father’, was his lifesaver wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

So while certain precautions were necessary, it was pointless to abandon food for fear of choking.

Enhancing his own strength as quickly as possible was undoubtedly correct.

Even if the system had its own agenda, even malevolent intentions, at this stage, he was powerless to guard against it.

Only when his cultivation was higher and his foundation stronger would he have enough power to adapt.

This was called ‘drinking poison to quench thirst’—without drinking this cup of poisoned wine, he would simply die of thirst.

What future would there be to speak of then?

Though poisoned wine contained deadly poison, risking one’s life,

Perhaps the next moment, fortune would turn, and he might obtain the medicine to detoxify.

And even if viewed merely from an ‘investment’ standpoint, the system had painstakingly nurtured him, surely expecting some form of return?

As long as others were reclaiming their capital and interest, he was temporarily safe.

Of course, if the opponent came for Body Seizing, then Chu Xisheng had nothing to say.

However, ‘Body Seizing’ typically began from the womb.

Generally speaking, the stronger the self-consciousness and cultivation of the body to be taken, the greater the risk of Body Seizing.

While Chu Xisheng was distractedly browsing through the ever-changing array of items in the vault, and as his thoughts wandered, he suddenly exclaimed, pausing the refresh of the Treasure Vault.

Only because an icon he was fairly familiar with had appeared within the vault.

The icon took the shape of a human head with a Taoist bun.

At the center of the forehead, there was a sky-blue vortex, slowly revolving.

Chu Xisheng had seen it several times before.

What was different this time was that beneath the icon, there was the character ‘Eight’.
