Chapter 119: Chapter 107 – A Shocking Arrow, Terrifying Power!
Translator: 549690339
Among the mountains, countless figures flashed past, they were frantically speeding through the mountain range.
All these people were disciples of the Outer Court of Supreme Mystery Sect.
The location where the heavenly fire had just fallen was closest to the Outer Court.
Many people had noticed the heavenly fire about to fall.
Loud noises soon followed and everyone knew that a heavenly fire had descended.
This signified that there could possibly be a piece of meteorite where the heavenly fire fell.
Meteorite, it was an extremely valuable weapon forging material.
This sudden appearance of an unowned resource, how could they not rush for it?
Only if they could obtain the meteorite inside, would they be able to sell it to the Treasure Pavilion and make a fortune.
Such a fortune was sufficient to greatly improve their body refinement progress.
They could even use this resource to transcend, and directly create a miracle in their cultivation at the Inner Court’s examination in three year’s time.
Thinking of this beautiful future, who wouldn’t be excited?
A moment later.
A man shouted excitedly: “This meteorite belongs to me!”
He moved swiftly, took several leaps, and landed in the pit.
Disappointment appeared on the faces of the others who had landed behind him, as they gradually halted their steps.
If they were elsewhere, they might have still had some other plans.
But here, it was the territory of the Supreme Mystery Sect, very close to the Outer Court.
Should any of them make a move now, it would be considered stealing the property of their fellow disciples, and would invite the intervention of law enforcement.
Suddenly, the man’s voice echoed: “How can this be possible!”
Then, he picked up from the ground the rhombus that had lost some of its edges, now rather rounded.
His face instantly filled with disappointment and disbelief: “How could it not contain any meteorite, and only be an ordinary stone!”
His voice was full of disbelief.
He picked up the stone and threw it harshly on the ground in an attempt to smash some miracle out of it.
However, as this stone was smashed on the ground by him, it shattered into pieces.
He was instantly filled with disappointment: “How could it just be an ordinary stone!”
At this moment, his mood had swung from heaven to hell.
He slumped on the ground and muttered incoherent words.
Jiang Yuan didn’t have time to concern himself with what was happening in the distance. The previous scene when the heavenly fire descended, had given him profound insights.
Especially the essence it contained, it made him realize a lot of things.
He closed his eyes and stood motionless on the cliff.
In his mind.
The scene of the descending of the heavenly fire just now was replaying over and over again.
After a long time.
He slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and the mighty bow appeared in his hand.
He drew the bowstring.
The bowstring was producing a sizzling sound.
Spiritual power and a special kind of heartforce slowly fused into the arrow.
Heartforce is a very special kind of energy.
It is the power of the soul and of the will.
Incredibly subtle.
Only by understanding this power can one become a true god-archer.
Only then can one truly comprehend the arrow art of the heavenly fire level to great success and even perfection.
As for beyond perfection, one would need opportunities.
From the secret transmission, no one has ever reached beyond perfection.
Without seeing the real scene, how can one comprehend the spirituality in the combat technique?
Crack-
With the release of the bowstring, the rapid sound of the air abruptly resounded.
The arrow that had left the string was instantly wrapped in a boiling hot flame.
It contained the intentions of savage, hot, and destructive power.
It was these intentions that endowed the arrow with extraordinary destructive power.
In an instant, the arrow cut through the sky and landed on a mountain in the distance.
Boom-
Huge rocks rolled down, drawing the attention of countless eyes below.
Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, acknowledging that the power of the heavenly fire arrow at minor accomplishment level was indeed extraordinary.
If this arrow had been shot at Prince Zhou Tuo, it could have killed him with one shot.
Of course, doing so would bring about the resentment of the Royal Family of Qiayuan Kingdom and Jiang Yuan was not yet daring to take such a risk.
Next moment, he pulled the bowstring again.
He had an idea, to see if the power of the heavenly fire arrow could be improved by integrating it with the magnetic field.
Thinking of this, he pulled his bowstring to eighty percent of its potential.
And then suddenly let go.
Crack-
The arrow accelerated by the magnetic field under his control shot off, quick as a thunderbolt.
Its speed was more than twice that of the previous one.
In an instant, it crossed the sky and landed on a hillside opposite.
Boom-
Accompanied by a thunderous noise, the entire hillside was shattered by this arrow, followed by a violent collapse.
Jiang Yuan looked at the scene in the distance, his face filled with shock.
This arrow, under the Spiritual Sea Realm, could anybody really withstand it?
He couldn’t help but ask this question in his heart.
Even he himself was not sure if he could avoid this arrow.
Because its speed was too fast!
So fast it defies any reaction!
Meanwhile.
In the forest where it just happened, someone was looking at the collapsing hillside in the distance, his face filled with confusion.
“What’s happening over there? Does anyone of you know?”
All the people present shook their heads.
The roaring sound of rolling stones had drawn their attention.
But they thought it was merely a normal landslide.
Landslides are rare, but they’re not non-existent.
After years of weathering, rocks naturally degraded and occasionally would cause a large stone fall.
But the current seismic shaking and mountain collapse.
It is impossible to occur naturally, it must have been caused by someone.
“This must be a disciple from the Inner Court, or even a direct disciple experimenting with his killing technique!” someone suggested.
“I think that’s the only possibility, otherwise how can there be such an exception.”
While the two were discussing, another person was suddenly shouted.
“Look, more heavenly fire is descending!”
Hearing this, everyone who had heard the sentence hurriedly looked up at the sky.
“No, it’s not only one heavenly fire, it’s a group!” the person gaped at the sky.
All the people present, upon seeing the fiery meteor shower overhead, were instantly frozen in place.
Fire from the sky, a rare sight, was now dropping like rain.
Suddenly, someone yelled, “Run––”
The crowd instantly snapped back to reality, retreating hastily, distancing themselves from where the fire was falling.
It wasn’t until they had completely evacuated, that they sensed the rumbling sounds from behind them.
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
The sight of fires slowly starting due to the heavenly falls met their eyes when they turned back to look.
Right at that moment.
Explosions of soil and extinguished fires were seen.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
The sound of breaking air gradually reached their ears.
Following the faint white traces in the air.
They finally noticed Jiang Yuan on the cliff’s edge.
“This is… Which senior brother is this, who… who can attract fire from the sky, what… what formidable divine power!” someone stammered, implementing gulping motions.
Upon hearing this, they all shook their heads.
“Too far away, I can’t see clearly!”
“Yeah! I can’t see at all! But it must be a true senior brother who joined long ago, how else could they attract fire from the sky, such a formidable heavenly might!”
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
In the days that followed.
From time to time, someone would spot a youth on that cliff.
The occasional falling of heavenly fire, especially at night, was so eye-catching it was impossible not to notice!
Gradually, there were whispers going around.
That person was Jiang Yuan!
Because his summoning of heavenly fire was too noticeable.
Many disciples of the Inner Sect also became curious and went to investigate. There, they recognized the person as Jiang Yuan, who gained fame after his decisive battle with Zhou Tuo.
Ever since then, no one bothered him again.
Half a month later.
On the cliff.
Jiang Yuan slowly drew his bowstring.
Thump——
The arrow left the string and transformed into a trail of fiery long light in the sky.
Boom——
There was a loud noise, and the distant hillside shook drastically.
The land waves rolled, and boulders tumbled down.
Jiang Yuan slowly retrieved his bow and arrow.
“A perfectly mastered “Heavenly Fire Arrow Technique” should be about enough!”
He murmured.
The level above perfection, he realized he shouldn’t think too much about it for now.
The heavenly fire he created was ultimately fake.
The heavenly fire created by a stone of twenty pounds was still immensely different from the real heavenly fire.
The great cultivator who initially created the “Heavenly Fire Arrow Technique”.
The heavenly fire he saw when it fell to the earth, left within several miles a complete wasteland turned into a sea of fire.
Even stirring up dust all over the sky and disturbing the earth pulse, causing ripples, it made the earth surface suffer wave after wave of disruption, ripping huge chasms into the ground.
That was a true heavenly fall of fire.
Unless he further improves his understanding or attracts a real heavenly fire fall.
Only then would he have the confidence to perceive the realm above perfection.
With these thoughts, Jiang Yuan walked towards his mansion.
The perfectly mastered “Heavenly Fire Arrow Technique” should suffice for now.
Especially with his power of the magnetic field, its speed is enhanced to the extreme, with exponentially increased power.
The power of this arrow is enough to become his real killing move.
After returning to his mansion.
Shu Xiaoxiao instantly greeted him.
“Young Master, your hot water is ready!”
“Hmm!” Jiang Yuan nodded in response.
He took a bath, then had a good night’s sleep.
He slept a full day and night.
By the time he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky outside the window.
He opened the door of his room and went out into the courtyard.
Then, he casually lay down on the long bench.
During the time he was perceiving the “Heavenly Fire Arrow Technique”, Liu Jie visited him.
Liu Jie and a disciple from the Sunset Sect had agreed upon a time for a duel, and now, less than ten days remained until their agreed time.
Right now, with nothing else to do, Jiang Yuan felt extremely relaxed.
He could no longer cultivate, after all, they had already agreed, the helpers they invite could have a cultivation base of at most 5th level of the Meridian Breaking Realm.
A breakthrough to the sixth level was just around the corner for him, so how could he continue cultivating.
As to that genuine transmission of the “Indestructible True Body”, he was unable to practice it at all now.
Without the Wind and Thunder Sand material, he had no idea where to start.
All the things that needed to be done were basically finished.
Subsequently, he opened his Personal Status Dashboard and took a look.
[Name]: Jiang Yuan
[Realm]: 5th level of Meridian Breaking Realm
[Innate Luck]: Ancient Double Pupils (Golden) Longevity (Purple) Human Emperor bloodline (Purple) Dragon Tiger Body (Blue) Innate Wisdom (Blue) Spirit Soul Crystallization (Blue) Divine Archer (Blue)
[Luck Power]: 1782 strands
[Luck Seed]: None
Suddenly, he remembered something.
The mysterious small bone that Lu Qingshan had given him more than half a month ago.
He flicked his hand, and the jade-white small bone appeared in his hand.
Mysterious patterns all over it.
“This must be the bone of some powerful creature!” Jiang Yuan murmured.
Compared to the human race or the Demon Tribe, some innate spirits are born with innate powers or even innate divine abilities.
Even some of these powerful innate spirits are born containing laws and the Great Dao.
Such innate spirits, under fortuitous conditions, can give birth to descendants, even forming a clan.
With the starvation of the bloodline, the descendants are hugely different from this ancestor – the innate spirit.
But even so, due to the bloodline inheritance, the outstanding members among them tend to carry innate divine abilities, giving them a significant advantage compared to other races.
Some descendants even present the phenomenon of retrogression in bloodline, making those descendants incredibly terrifying.
Looking at the intricate patterns on the small bone, Jiang Yuan got some clues.
This should be a bone that belonged to some formidable creature.
The patterns on it may have contained some profound principles about the universe, possibly related to speed.
That’s why the Sect Leader, after comprehending some insights, was able to increase his speed by 50%.
