A peerless divine ability ranked among the top ten since Pangu created the world. Created by the ancient god Houyi, it is the ultimate archery art of the Three Realms, capable of slaying True Gods, but with immense heartforce and equipment demands.
Welcome to one of the most lore-dense chapters in the early Mount Innerheart arc! Ji Ning has spent a year mastering *Plow Heaven* and refining his sword-heart, and now he finally steps into the legendary Three Realms Palace—the secret vault of Patriarch Subhuti that only a handful of disciples ever get to see. And who’s guarding the door? None other than the second senior brother, Jidian, a figure whose reputation shakes the Three Realms yet spends his days snoring in the sun. What follows is a glorious tour of nineteen divine abilities, including the mind-boggling *Candle Dragon’s Eye*, the top-ten-ranked *Houyi Archery Art*, and a tantalizing glimpse of the *Nine Heavens Mysterious Art*. Get ready, fellow Daoists—the power-ups are about to get legendary.
This chapter is a perfect example of what makes Desolate Era’s cultivation system so addictive: the constant promise of new, broken abilities. Ji Ning has already claimed the *Starseizing Hand* — a top-ten divine ability — but now he learns there are *multiple* top-ten techniques, each with a different flavor. The *Houyi Archery Art* is especially tantalizing because it’s a “technical” school, meaning it will test Ji Ning’s soul and comprehension rather than his raw cultivation level. Keep an eye on that *Nine Heavens Mysterious Art* at the end — those four characters have enormous weight in Chinese mythology (often linked to the highest Daoist cultivation). Will Ji Ning pick it next? And what will its trial be?
