459 Divine Power

With the high-profile return of the city ruler, the outside world had been in an uproar for many days. Countless people were paying attention to the outcome of the South Palace clan betraying the source ore shops.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Yiming for the time being.

Chen Yiming parted ways with the silver-winged woman. She planned to return to the silver-winged clan to help him find more clues about the space teleportation portals.

The silver-winged clan was naturally good at speed. Most of them had the ability to travel through space when they reached adulthood. Naturally, they did not take the space teleportation portals very seriously, and they had never heard of it being available in their clan.

This was their special talent. In terms of making use of their strengths and making up for their weaknesses, it affected the direction of their cultivation.

For example, most source ore experts had some kind of spiritual talent. Their physical talent was often relatively weak, so they were suitable for cultivating techniques related to formations and barriers.

This way, while making use of their strengths, they could also make up for their shortcomings and make their abilities more comprehensive.

After that, Chen Yiming walked alone in the wilderness.

He first visited a few large cities and wandered around. He realized that nothing had changed from a few days ago.

Since the outside world was in an uproar, the atmosphere in the south mountain range was also relatively tense. Perhaps they were still making preparations, but the factions from the Infinite Island Group had not really started a full-scale war with the source ore shops.

Chen Yiming settled down by a river.

He and Gao Shuai had looted one of the treasure vaults of the city ruler. Other than divine artifacts and divine pills, they had also obtained a large number of books. These books were naturally extraordinary since they were kept by a god at the star evolution realm.

Therefore, he planned to cultivate for a while and strive to no longer rely solely on the powerful talents given by the system to fight in the future. Instead, he could use more abilities flexibly.

“Divine power!”

Not long after, Chen Yiming roughly studied it and understood that it involved controlling the natural laws. This was something that only those at the star evolution realm were qualified to come into contact with.

Of course, it was not impossible for those at the Star condensation and jade star realms to cultivate the divine power. However, even if they were like twin pupils, they could not truly unleash the strength of the divine power.

Chen Yiming had currently cultivated to the jade star realm. Due to the Undying Body talent and the Giant talent, his inner world was already powerful enough.

He could completely withstand the damage caused by the natural laws. Perhaps in terms of mastery of the natural laws, he could not compare to the person with twin pupils. His technique would be extremely rough, and would be almost equivalent to forcing the natural laws to work for him.

However, in the end, they were just using different methods to achieve the same goal. In essence, they were all controlling the natural laws. The methods were different, but the outcome was the same.

Other than that, Chen Yiming also had a better understanding of the path of the gods.

After replicating certain natural laws in the inner world, coupled with the foundation he had built when condensing the inner world, there would be a qualitative change.

The quality of the inner world was divided from the first to the ninth grade. The term ‘divine world’ was also used to describe the inner world after a qualitative change.

Among them, the first grade was the highest, and the ninth grade was the lowest. The top three grades had the ability to fight those of a higher level and could cultivate the divine power before reaching the required level.

The middle three grades were not troubled by the injuries caused by the natural laws, but it was a little too weak to cultivate the divine power. It was not that they could not cultivate it at all, but that they had to bear a certain risk of backlash.

The lowest three grades were those in the jade star realm who were injured and could die at any moment. The majority of the people in the jade star realm fell into this category, and they were not fated to use the divine power.

The divine world that Chen Yiming’s inner world had transformed into undoubtedly belonged to one of the top three grades. However, other than a few mentions of the different types of third grade divine world in the books, there was no information about the first and second grade divine worlds.

For example, the third grade divine world mentioned in the books included the Life Divine World, the Yin Yang Divine World, the Illusion Divine World…

Soon, after gaining a better understanding of the path of the gods, Chen Yiming started to cultivate his divine power.

He first flipped open a book with the words “Reversal Palm” written on it. This divine power had a minimum requirement for the cultivator’s divine world to be in the middle three ranks. It would be best if it was the type with a strong and vast power of the world.

Only then could he truly unleash the power of the Reversal Palm and use his strength to suppress others. Otherwise, it would only be for show and could be overpowered by someone of the same level.

After experiencing it again and again, the traces of natural laws appeared in the air, turning into a few light sources that were absorbed into his divine world.

Without a doubt, these light sources were very dangerous. If one cultivated rashly without the guidance of their predecessors, at best, they would destroy their divine world, and at worst, they would die while cultivating.

Chen Yiming naturally didn’t have to worry about this. Even if the natural laws turned into divine lightning and struck him, it would only tickle him.

Gradually, he blocked out all distractions and immersed himself in it. The flow of time seemed to have changed, and he cultivated in seclusion for a long time.

“On the path of the gods, the world is your teacher.”

Half a month later, Chen Yiming opened his eyes. He had gained a lot from this intense cultivation. He had also truly integrated into the mainstream cultivation world.

It had to be known that he was essentially from a planet that was a cultivation desert. After the master realm, there was no longer any cultivation experience from his predecessors to refer to.

He had never heard of secret techniques and divine powers before this.

Now that he had focused on learning the divine powers from the books collected by the Heaven Suppressing City’s ruler, he was constantly enlightened, and he was constantly gaining more understanding of the use of his power.

“This… this…”

As his understanding deepened, Chen Yiming could control the traces of the natural laws, such as the changes in the clouds, rain, fire, and so on. He could understand their essence bit by bit through their myriad changes.

This way, he could be considered to have mastered the divine power of the Reversal Palm.

Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Chen Yiming mainly focused on studying the books he had obtained from the treasure vault of the city ruler. Other than that, he didn’t have much time for other activities. He would only go out occasionally for a month or two to understand the changes in the overall situation.

If one looked at Chen Yiming now, they would realize that he had already gotten rid of the style that was incompatible with the mainstream cultivation world, and he could flexibly use several types of divine powers to fight.

It was very rare for someone at the jade star realm to be able to use their divine power to fight. In the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, other than the most outstanding few in their generation,

most of the divine worlds were at the lower three grades. At the jade star realm, they were already terminally ill and were troubled by the injuries caused by the natural laws. It was too difficult for them to draw the natural laws into their bodies to cultivate the divine power.

For the middle three grades of the divine world, the silver-winged woman, the snake man, and the others who were considered geniuses of the younger generation would probably be at this level if they could break through to the jade star realm.

Geniuses from these overlord factions could lower the requirements for their cultivation and master certain divine powers that matched their own talent.

Chen Yiming examined himself after he mastered several divine powers and realized that his combat strength had indeed increased greatly. He couldn’t believe it fully just like this, and hoped that there would be a suitable opponent to confirm it.

The essence of divine powers was also the use of power. By mastering a divine power that was suitable for one, one could unearth combat strength that could not be fully displayed under normal circumstances.

One day, Chen Yiming stood at the top of a mountain and looked down at the vast land. Mountain ranges rose and fell, and patches of forests could be seen.

This was the abandoned world. The mountains and rivers were very vast, and one could not help but feel different emotions.

After breaking through to the jade star realm and mastering several divine powers, he was definitely a god that could dominate a region in the abandoned world.

In other words, he could fight against those factions that occupied this land by himself.

Even for an inter-galactic overlord faction, their true foundation was only a small number of gods at the star evolution realm.

The gods at the jade star realm and the star condensation realm were only the cornerstones of the successive generations. They were dispensable in the competition between the top cultivators.

“If the humans from the blue planet can establish themselves in the abandoned world, the cultivation environment here will definitely be difficult for any other planet in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy to compare to.”

What Chen Yiming had seen and heard when he went out occasionally in the past half a year made him even more determined to find the space teleportation portal.

Otherwise, it would take decades or even more for the human spaceships to arrive. At that time, it would be too late. For example, the factions behind the source ore shops would be divided up and the fight for the true dragon’s corpse would have started.

What was cultivation?

To most creatures with limited talent, cultivation was like fighting for their lives against fate. In layman’s terms, it was like continuing to live, unwilling to see one’s lifespan come to an end.

Chen Yiming himself couldn’t stay put and wait forever. In that case, unless he completely abandoned the other humans from the blue planet, he could only make them cooperate with his growth.

After all, after decades or hundreds of years, there was a high chance that he would have already left the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. At that time, the seemingly huge galaxy might not seem like much to him.

He thought for a while before jumping down the mountain and returning to the location where he had been cultivating all this time.

“Mr. Chen, you’re back!”

A young man ran over excitedly.

“Woof!” A lightning dog that seemed to be the incarnation of a lightning spirit followed the youngster and ran over quickly. Its speed was astonishing, and it seemed to have turned into a bolt of lightning.

Chen Yiming had set up a wooden house by the river for his cultivation. There were human villages in the wilderness around it, so he was naturally discovered as time passed.

There was no bloodshed upon their initial contact. To a certain extent, Chen Yiming was equivalent to an outsider invading their territory. However, he could make them kneel down with just one look.

The difference in strength made the village not dare to have any ill intentions towards him. After that, as they interacted more and more, the adults did not dare to approach him, afraid that they would anger him.

However, a few young men and women boldly came to ask about cultivation after knowing that an expert was living by the river.

Chen Yiming had refused them at first. However, when he saw that these young men and women really had a strong desire to cultivate, he gave them some pointers.

Later, with the intention of trying to simplify the divine power and prepare some powerful secret techniques for the humans from the blue planet to cultivate below the level of the gods, he taught them more.

For example, on the Flying Cloud Planet, the Rain of Light Technique used by the Jiang clan’s Jiang Lan was a simplified version of a certain divine power.

These overlord factions had already paved the way for their descendants to cultivate. As long as they were talented enough, they could cultivate step by step.

“Have you understood everything I taught you previously?”

Chen Yiming asked with a smile when the young man and the dog stopped in front of him.

While he gave these young men and women pointers on their cultivation techniques, he also gave the dog some pointers partly out of boredom. He did not expect this lightning dog in front of him to be so talented that it was already at the level of the inscription realm.

If it had an opportunity in the future, it was not impossible for it to break through to the level of a god.

“Mr. Chen, why don’t I demonstrate it for you?” the young man said as he waited with a sincere expression.

Chen Yiming nodded in agreement.

Soon, the young man turned to face the river and took a deep breath to prepare.

“Boom!”

As the young man struck out with his palm, the ground shook.

A huge golden palm pierced through the clouds and landed on the ground. The river below seemed to have been stopped by something, and in an instant, the water stopped flowing.

“That’s right. This palm can destroy mountains and rivers.”

Chen Yiming commented before the golden palm landed.

This palm was derived from the Reversal Palm, which reduced the level of power involved. With the power of nature as the foundation, it had the form of the Reversal Palm.

When one mastered it to the point of perfection, they could even mobilize a trace of the power of natural laws to enhance it into a palm technique that could even kill gods.

Of course, the young man in front of him was still far from that level. There was a high chance that because he was not talented enough, he would not be able to reach the level of killing a god for the rest of his life.

“Bang!”

There was a huge splash.

Just as Chen Yiming had said, when the golden palm landed, the river was cut in half, revealing the riverbed at the bottom.

The river here was not something that the rivers on the blue planet could compare to. It was nearly 10 kilometers wide. Coupled with the restrictions on one’s power in the abandoned world, it would not be easy to cut off the river.

“Woof, woof!”

The lightning dog beside the young man roared at the sky. At the same time, it wagged its tail, as if it wanted to show off.

In the next moment, the world darkened, and an oppressive aura enveloped it. A black bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

This was a simplified technique that Chen Yiming had created based on the divine power, the Heavenly Thunder. Its power couldn’t be underestimated either. If one mastered it to the point of perfection, they could trigger a trace of the natural laws of lightning.

Then, the river was cut in half, and the black lightning spread up and down the river.

Water was a natural conductive environment. There was no need to deliberately control it, and the river had already turned into a lightning domain. Countless fish and prawns had been electrocuted and turned into black ashes, and not even their corpses remained.

At this moment, the young man and dog did not notice that they were destroying the environment.

The reason was that the environment in the abandoned world had a self-repairing ability that was far superior to that on the blue planet. This level of damage would naturally be erased in a day or two.

Soon, the golden palm dissipated, and the lightning domain disappeared.

The young man was very happy to receive Chen Yiming’s evaluation. He finally revealed his intentions. He wasn’t just here to ask for guidance.

“Guards?”

Chen Yiming was surprised by the young man’s choice.

It had to be known that under his guidance, the other party had already successfully broken through to the inscription realm. Furthermore, his potential could still be unearthed. Putting aside the level of the gods, there was still a high chance that he could break through to the fusion realm.

These villages in the wilderness were like the adventurer teams in the large cities. They would regularly organize groups to enter the restricted areas to search for source ores.

The guards were the teams’ protection, but the risk of accompanying them was not small. Even in dangerous places where the risk was relatively low, there would be casualties every time the team returned.

Chen Yiming nodded.

He did not say anything. The recurrent theme of the abandoned world was disputes related to the source ores. Even a small village was no exception.

This was because there were also disputes between villages. The weaker ones would be annexed, forcing the villages to think of ways to strengthen themselves.
