Without any hesitation, Duan Lingtian reached for the bow. Since he had learned his lesson, he used all his strength this time.
However, even if he used all his strength, it was still strenuous.
Although he had picked up the bow, he was still far from being able to use it freely.
"I'm afraid … I'll have to wait until I break through to the Mortal Shedding Stage before I can use this bow freely."
Duan Lingtian looked at the bow in his hand and muttered to himself.
He took a deep breath and put the bow down again. He looked at Huo Lao and asked, "Huo Lao, what's this bow without a bowstring?"
Duan Lingtian did not notice that Huo Lao's eyes flashed when he picked up the bow.
"The Sun Shooting Bow!"
Huo Lao answered as calmly as he could in the face of Duan Lingtian's question.
However, even if he tried to remain calm, one could still hear the ripples in his voice.
"What?!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes widened when he heard Huo Lao's words. "Huo Lao, y-you're not joking, right? I-It's the Sun Shooting Bow? "
Looking at the rusty bow with ten notches on the stone table, Duan Ling Tian's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
Naturally, he had heard of the Sun Shooting Bow before.
In the ancient myths and legends from his previous life, Hou Yi had used the Sun Shooting Bow to shoot the sun, which was also the nine Golden Crows.
Hou Yi had relied on the Sun Shooting Bow to kill the nine Golden Crows.
"Huo Lao …"
Duan Lingtian looked at Huo Lao with a complicated gaze.
Huo Lao was the Three-legged Golden Crow that had escaped from Hou Yi's arrow … His other nine brothers had died under Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow.
"It's all in the past."
Huo Lao sighed. When he saw Duan Lingtian's expression, he knew Duan Lingtian had heard of the Sun Shooting Bow and knew who the original owner of the Sun Shooting Bow was.
"Huo Lao, why is the Sun Shooting Bow here?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and asked.
"Back then, I killed Hou Yi and avenged my nine brothers. His Sun Shooting Bow was in my hands … However, the good times didn't last long. Dipankara, that old monk, came looking for me and suppressed me in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"This Sun Shooting Bow naturally followed me into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda."
Huo Lao said.
"You … You killed Hou Yi?"
Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes wide, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Legend had it that nine out of ten Golden Crows were killed by Hou Yi, leaving only one that fled in a sorry state … And it was that Golden Crow that fled in a sorry state that killed Hou Yi?
"Hou Yi was born with divine strength. With the body of a mortal, he used the Sun Shooting Bow to kill ten of my brothers … At that time, because of the distance, he had the advantage. I could only flee."
Huo Lao seemed to see Duan Lingtian's disbelief. He said slowly, "Later, I found an opportunity to get close to him and killed him with a sneak attack."
Duan Lingtian came to a realization.
He was using a bow and arrow now, so he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of the bow and arrow.
If someone got close to him, the bow and arrow would be useless.
"To think that the legendary 'Sun Shooting Bow' is actually like this … How disappointing."
Duan Lingtian shook his head as he looked at the Sun Shooting Bow on the stone table.
"So the Sun Shooting Bow wasn't like this … Back then, after I killed Hou Yi, I vented my anger on this Sun Shooting Bow."
Huo Lao said, "Most of the Sun Shooting Bow's strength comes from the ten Heavenly Jewels on the bow … At that time, I used the Sun God Fire to forcefully temper the Sun Shooting Bow for 81 days before I finally removed the ten Heavenly Jewels on it."
"Then, I removed the bowstring on the Sun Shooting Bow and threw it and the ten Heavenly Jewels away … That's how the Sun Shooting Bow became like this."
Huo Lao finished speaking in one breath.
"In that case … this' Sun Shooting Bow 'is no longer the Sun Shooting Bow with unparalleled might from back then?"
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly. "Huo Lao, why did you have to do this back then? It's fine if you killed Hou Yi to avenge your brother … This Sun Shooting Bow is a treasure. How could you do this to it?! "
"If you didn't destroy this Sun Shooting Bow back then, I would've had a handy weapon."
The wry smile on Duan Lingtian's face became even more pronounced as he spoke.
In his opinion …
Huo Lao was too much of a prodigal!
"Although this Sun Shooting Bow is no longer as powerful as it was in the past, it was still a top Celestial Supreme Treasure in the past. Even my Divine Sun Fire can't do anything to it."
Huo Lao said, "Wasn't your bow broken by the little Devil Dragon's dragon tendon earlier? It's perfect to match the little Devil Dragon's dragon tendon. "
"Its power might not be as powerful as a Celestial Supreme Treasure, but on this planet, it's still a first-class divine weapon."
Huo Lao raised his hand and grabbed the broken Sun Shooting Bow before he passed it to Duan Lingtian.
"That's true. It's perfect to match the five-clawed Devil Dragon's dragon tendon. "
Duan Lingtian nodded and took the bow, but he still looked a little disappointed. "It would've been better if it was a complete Sun Shooting Bow … What a pity …"
"If it was a complete Sun Shooting Bow, it would've been heavier than the Jasper Immortal Sword! Only five of the ten Heavenly Jewels embedded in it would've been as heavy as the Jasper Immortal Sword. "
Huo Lao added.
"A complete Sun Shooting Bow is heavier than the Jasper Immortal Sword? And twice as heavy? "
The corner of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched when he heard this.
If that was the case, what kind of freak was Hou Yi?
He had killed nine Three-legged Golden Crows with the Sun Shooting Bow with his mortal body … Was he really human?
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian looked at Huo Lao and voiced his doubts.
"Hou Yi's mortal body doesn't mean he's just an ordinary person. It's just that he can't produce Celestial Origin Energy in his body … He mainly cultivates his body. Even if he's bare-handed, ordinary Celestials are no match for him. "
Huo Lao explained.
"I see."
Realization dawned on Duan Lingtian. He was wondering how an ordinary person could lift a complete Sun Shooting Bow that was twice as heavy as the Jasper Immortal Sword.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have recalled something. He asked, "Huo Lao, the Jasper Immortal Sword and the Sun Shooting Bow are both Celestial Supreme Treasures … Why isn't the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda heavy?"
"The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda isn't heavy, it's only for its owner … If the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda didn't acknowledge you as its owner, you wouldn't be able to lift it either."
Huo Lao said.
"But … Didn't the sea monster carry the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda around?"
Duan Lingtian asked in confusion.
As it turned out, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was in the hands of the sea monster in the depths of the ocean not far from Half Moon Island.
According to the three Vice Island Masters of Half Moon Island, it was often carried around by the sea monster.
"That's because I didn't want to stay in the same place with the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda so I controlled its weight."
Huo Lao explained, "I'm the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda after all. Although I can't affect its acknowledgement of its owner, I can still control its weight."
"I see."
Duan Lingtian's doubts disappeared after listening to Huo Lao's explanation.
"If that's the case … This incomplete Sun Shooting Bow is the most suitable for me right now."
Duan Lingtian smiled brightly as he looked at the rusty Sun Shooting Bow in his hand.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian lifted his hand and hung the Five-clawed Devil Dragon's dragon tendon on the Sun Shooting Bow … Just as Huo Lao had said, the body of the Sun Shooting Bow was indeed tough.
No matter how hard he tried to pull the bowstring, the Sun Shooting Bow did not move at all.
"Huo Lao … What's the original bowstring of the Sun Shooting Bow made of?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly thought of this and could not help but ask.
"It's also a dragon tendon."
Huo Lao replied.
"Dragon tendon?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes widened. "Isn't the Sun Shooting Bow a top Celestial Supreme Treasure? Even the dragon tendon of a Five-clawed Divine Dragon isn't qualified to be its bowstring, right? "
"The dragon tendon of a Five-clawed Divine Dragon isn't even qualified to be the bowstring of an ordinary Celestial Bow, let alone be the bowstring of the Sun Shooting Bow … The bowstring of the Sun Shooting Bow is the dragon tendon of a Nine-clawed Winged Dragon."
Huo Lao explained.
"Nine-clawed Winged Dragon?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but be puzzled when he heard this. "What's that? A divine dragon too? "
"The Nine-clawed Winged Dragon is also known as the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon."
Huo Lao explained patiently.
"Nine-clawed Divine Dragon …"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed. "There's actually a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon in this world? I thought the Five-clawed Divine Dragon was the top existence among Dragons … I didn't expect there to be a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon as well. "
"The Five-clawed Divine Dragon is only considered to be the top on planets like Planet Yan Huang and this planet."
Huo Lao said, "When you have the strength to leave this planet in the future, you'll realize that there are not only Nine-clawed Divine Dragons in this world, but there are also Six-clawed Divine Dragons, Seven-clawed Divine Dragons, and Eight-clawed Divine Dragons as well."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
His biggest goal now was to return to Earth.
If he wanted to return to Earth, he would have to leave the planet he was currently on.
Therefore, his goal was to leave this planet as well.
"With my current strength, I'm still far from being able to wield the Sun Shooting Bow freely. I should be able to do it when I break through to the Mortal Shedding Stage. "
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself as he looked at the Sun Shooting Bow in his hand.
At this moment, he was even more eager to break through to the Mortal Shedding Stage. "I wonder when I'll be able to integrate my Profundity into my body to help me open up Saint Veins."
Duan Lingtian was filled with anticipation about how many Saint Veins he would be able to open up after he broke through to the Mortal Shedding Stage.
With the help of the Ninth Level Emperor Stage Fused Profundity and Ninth Level Emperor Stage Sword Profundity, he was confident the number of Saint Veins he would open in his body would not be any less than Xue Nai.
"However, I can't cultivate for the time being … Xue Nai must still be looking for me."
When Duan Lingtian thought of this, he bade farewell to Huo Lao and left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought.
With a lift of his hand, Duan Lingtian held the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda that was the size of a speck of dust in his hand.
"It's a pity that the space inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is unstable before the fourth level is repaired … Otherwise, I can hide inside even if I encounter a powerful enemy."
