Chapter 1163 Born from Innate Creation: The Existence That Created the Sun-Shooting Bow  

Chu Bai, though only an Immortal King, was able to defy the natural order and contend with three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, all thanks to the power of this treasure. 

As a result, the existence of the Sun-Shooting Bow became increasingly sensational within the Immortal Chu Dynasty, 

attracting the covetous gazes and secretive schemes of many cultivators. 

Later, even Chu Gucheng, the ruler of the dynasty, had to step forward and declare that heavenly treasures belonged to those with virtue. 

The bow had already chosen Chu Bai as its master, and anyone who tried to seize it would face his wrath, regardless of their relationship. 

The fact that Chu Gucheng himself came forward to protect Chu Bai shocked and surprised many cultivators in the Immortal Chu Dynasty. 

However, from another perspective, Chu Gucheng's high regard for Chu Bai couldn't solely be due to Chu Bai being a person of great fortune. 

After all, there were quite a few individuals of great fortune in the Immortal Chu Dynasty, and only a handful of them had the privilege of being summoned by Chu Gucheng and earning his favor. 

Although Chu Bai's talent was decent, it paled in comparison to some of the other individuals of great fortune. 

From this, it seemed that Chu Gucheng's interest in Chu Bai was largely due to the Sun-Shooting Bow. 

The origins of the Sun-Shooting Bow were undoubtedly extraordinary, and Chu Gucheng's actions were likely meant to protect it from falling into the wrong hands. 

Many cultivators speculated that it was impossible for Chu Gucheng not to covet such a heaven-defying treasure. 

However, perhaps due to his status, he couldn't bring himself to seize it from Chu Bai? 

Initially, Chu Bai was quite grateful to Chu Gucheng, but over time, he began to sense that something was off. 

Chu Gucheng's attention toward him far exceeded what his current cultivation and talent warranted. 

Even the Heavenly Divine General and others had never received such favor from Chu Gucheng. Chu Bai was merely an Immortal King, still far from reaching the Dao Realm. 

What right did he have to earn Chu Gucheng's such high regard? 

After much thought, Chu Bai concluded that the most likely reason was the Sun-Shooting Bow. 

If he hadn't been clever enough to summon the Sun-Shooting Bow in front of everyone that day, forcing the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Demon Court to retreat, 

Chu Gucheng might have easily found an excuse to take the bow for himself. 

At first, Chu Bai was reluctant to believe this, thinking that Chu Gucheng, as the ruler of the Immortal Chu Dynasty, was broad-minded and virtuous, a true wise ruler. 

Over the years, how many talented individuals and people of great fortune had he recruited to serve him? 

For Chu Bai's sake, Chu Gucheng had even gone so far as to break ties with the Demon Court and go to war with them. Now, even Chu Gucheng's most beloved son had died because of this. 

To everyone, Chu Gucheng had gone above and beyond for Chu Bai, showing him utmost kindness and generosity. 

At the beginning, Chu Bai had felt the same way, deeply grateful and determined to repay Chu Gucheng's kindness in the future. 

But the sense that something was wrong began the day the spirit of the Sun-Shooting Bow awakened. 

After the Sun-Shooting Bow acknowledged Chu Bai as its master, he had treasured it deeply. Many Dao Realm seniors had asked to borrow it out of curiosity, but he had refused, offending some of the dynasty's elders. 

In Chu Bai's eyes, he had encountered many opportunities and fortunes in his life, 

but the Sun-Shooting Bow was different. On the day it appeared, a dazzling seven-colored light had shot into the sky, illuminating half the heavens. 

Apart from him, only the Ninth Prince of the Demon Court, Di Wen, had been able to see it. 

Moreover, of the two, the Sun-Shooting Bow had chosen him as its master. Wasn't this a sign of destiny? 

During this time, Chu Bai, fearing retaliation from the Demon Court, had stayed within the Immortal Chu Dynasty to cultivate. 

He spent his days and nights refining the Sun-Shooting Bow, hoping to establish a deeper connection with it. 

Then, a few days ago, he suddenly heard an unusual voice coming from the bow. 

At the same time, he sensed an unusual life force within it. 

The Sun-Shooting Bow had a spirit, one with high intelligence and sentience, as if it had been born from heaven and earth rather than created artificially. 

Chu Bai was ecstatic about this discovery and naturally didn't tell anyone. 

He knew full well what this meant. 

Even the legendary Mirror of Reincarnation, one of the Supreme Treasures of Civilization in the Prime-Origin Civilization, didn't have an innate spirit. 

Yet the Sun-Shooting Bow in his hands did. 

Didn't this mean that the origins of the Sun-Shooting Bow were even more astonishing than those of the Supreme Treasures of Civilization? 

However, the spirit of the Sun-Shooting Bow seemed exceptionally proud and aloof. 

At first, it ignored most of Chu Bai's questions, often acting as if it hadn't heard them. 

It bluntly stated that Chu Bai's cultivation was too low—he wasn't even at the Dao Realm—and thus unworthy of its attention, let alone becoming its host. 

Instead of being angered by these words, Chu Bai grew even more excited. 

After all, this only proved that the Sun-Shooting Bow's origins were far more extraordinary than he had imagined. 

Over the next few days, although the spirit of the Sun-Shooting Bow remained cold and indifferent, 

Chu Bai didn't give up. Through persistent pestering, he eventually managed to build some rapport with it, barely qualifying as a "friend." 

According to the spirit of the Sun-Shooting Bow, for it to acknowledge Chu Bai as its host, 

he would need to survive at least four Heavenly Tribulations and become a True Dao Realm existence. 

When Chu Bai learned this, he was both awed and daunted. With his talent, reaching the True Dao Realm would take who knew how many epochs. 

Moreover, the spirit had initially seemed to want to say that he needed to reach the Ancestral Dao Realm, but perhaps considering his current low cultivation, it had settled for the True Dao Realm. 

Having obtained such a heaven-defying treasure, Chu Bai was filled with ambition. Though initially disheartened, he quickly regained his confidence, declaring that even the True Dao Realm was within his reach. 

Given enough time, he would surely surpass Chu Gucheng and become a supreme existence in the Prime-Origin Civilization. 

As Chu Bai grew closer to the spirit of the Sun-Shooting Bow, he unexpectedly learned some things. 

He had thought that the Sun-Shooting Bow was an innate treasure born from chaos, but it turned out that it had been created by someone. 

According to the spirit, the being who created the Sun-Shooting Bow was the greatest existence in all the worlds, an unparalleled and unattainable supreme being.
