(Third Update! Additional 28)
Ye Xing's Sagittarius Constellation and Black Hole Constellation, other than himself, only Zi Shanhou knew about it.
Zi Shanhou was very clear that Ye Xing's two supreme Constellations greatly increased Ye Xing's strength.
Since Ye Xing had defeated a top Seven Star Martial Saint, it meant that Ye Xing had used all his trump cards. Even an Eight Star Martial Saint would not be able to compete with him!
Therefore, Zi Shanhou knew that Ye Xing's current strength was much stronger than when he entered the Clear Cloud Ancient Land.
Moreover, this was only Ye Xing's strength when he was a Five Star Martial Saint. Now that Ye Xing's cultivation was at the peak of the Fifth Star Martial Saint realm, who knew when he would break through to the Six Star Martial Saint realm. At that time, his strength would be even more terrifying.
In the Clear Cloud Ancient Land, the disciples of the Clear Cloud Region's top ten sects would gather. If they met some murderous people from the opposing camp, they might lose their lives.
With Ye Xing's strength, Zi Shanhou was not worried about Ye Xing's safety. In the Clear Cloud Region, the dangerous ones should be Ye Xing's enemies.
Zi Shanhou asked, "How's your archery cultivation? How's your attainment in the Four Symbols Arrow Art?"
Ye Xing said truthfully, "Disciple's archery has reached the Second Realm. I can barely follow my heart and reach the Great Accomplishment of the Four Symbols Arrow Art!"
After Ye Xing finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent. Zi Shanhou looked at Ye Xing and even forgot to breathe for a moment.
After a full two breaths of time, Zi Shanhou said in surprise, "The Second Realm of Archery, and the Second Transformation of Heart? The Great Accomplishment of the Four Symbols Arrow Art? "
No wonder Zi Shanhou was shocked. Ye Xing's archery attainment was indeed shocking!
When Zi Shanhou entered the Clear Cloud Ancient Land, his archery was still far from the Second Realm. The Four Symbols Arrow Art had only reached the Small Accomplishment, which was not at the same level as Ye Xing.
Ye Xing nodded affirmatively!
Zi Shan Hou's voice was still filled with shock as he said, "With this level of attainments in archery, if you were given a good middle grade spirit bow, you would be able to kill an Eight Star Martial Saint in your normal state. If you were to combine it with the Sagittarius Constellation, I'm afraid that even a Nine Star Martial Saint could be killed!"
Bows and arrows were fundamentally different from other weapons. Firstly, they had a long attack range. Secondly, they contained great power.
For example, a middle-grade spirit bow. As long as one could draw the bow, the arrows shot out would be enough to kill a Six-Star Martial Saint. A good middle-grade spirit bow could kill a Seven-Star Martial Saint or even an Eight-Star Martial Saint.
If Ye Xing had a good mid-grade spiritual bow, with Ye Xing's attainments in the Four Symbols Archery Art, it would be more than enough to kill an Eight-star Martial Sage.
As for the Sagittarius Constellation, it could greatly increase the power of the bow and arrow. In this state, it would not be surprising to kill a Nine-star Martial Saint!
It was not surprising, but in reality, it was a Five-Star Martial Saint who killed a Nine-star Martial Saint. There was a gap of four realms in between. This kind of leapfrogging was simply too terrifying. It completely broke the limit of leapfrogging based on martial arts strength.
Even in the legends, leapfrogging could not exceed three realms. After all, with every higher realm in cultivation, one's strength would increase greatly. It was impossible for one's strength to leapfrog infinitely.
Only an extraordinary weapon like the bow and arrow could break the limit of leapfrogging. This was because it was not the martial artist's personal strength that leapfrogged. It was the strength of the bow and arrow itself.
Although the limit of a leapfrog challenge should not exceed three realms, since ancient times, there had been countless cultivators who had died at the hands of cultivators who were four realms, five realms, or even more. It was not as if there had never been anyone who had died at the hands of cultivators who were four realms, five realms, or even more.
However, this was not a victory in terms of strength. It could be due to various reasons. It could be due to the environment, it could be due to a sneak attack, it could be due to the help of external objects.
Such leapfrogging obviously could not be counted as a conventional leapfrogging based on strength. Using a high-grade bow and arrow to kill the enemy was using external objects. It could not be counted as a normal leapfrogging.
The bow and arrow could break the conventional record of leapfrogging. From this, it could be seen that this was indeed a terrifying weapon. It could be counted as a non-conventional weapon.
After Zi Shanhou finished speaking, he took out a bow.
This bow was nearly two meters tall. When it stood upright, it was as tall as Ye Xing. The body of the bow was made of purple metal and exuded a noble light.
Ye Xing's pupils shrank. He recognized this bow. It was Zi Shanhou's' Purple Cloud Bow '.
Zi Shanhou handed the Purple Cloud Bow to Ye Xing and said, "A treasure sword should be given to the best swordsman, and a treasure bow should also be given to the best archer. This Purple Cloud Bow is a top-notch mid-grade spiritual bow. If you use this bow to shoot with all your strength, it is enough to kill a Nine-star Martial Saint. Take it with you and it will ensure that you will be unimpeded in the Qingyun Ancient Land."
Ye Xing took the Purple Cloud Bow. He was excited and his blood was boiling. With this bow, he could kill a Nine-star Martial Saint. Such a weapon could be said to be terrifying.
Ye Xing said, "Master, you gave me the Purple Cloud Bow. What will you use?"
Zi Shanhou said, "I have a spare bow. The Purple Cloud Bow is very useful to you. It is most suitable for you to use. However, with your current cultivation, it is extremely difficult to draw the Purple Cloud Bow. Even if you can draw it, I am afraid that it will consume more than half of your physical strength and Celestial Essence. Generally, try not to use it."
Bows and arrows, as an extraordinary weapon that could break through the limits of those of a higher realm, had advantages but also disadvantages.
Because the arrow shot was closely related to the strength of the bow, when a martial artist's strength was too weak, it was impossible to draw a bow that was too strong.
Moreover, as the martial artist's cultivation increased, the increase in the power of the bow would not be very large. This was because the strength of the bow accounted for a large part of the arrow's power. When the martial artist's strength increased, the grade of the bow would not increase.
In this regard, it could not be compared to conventional weapons such as sabers, spears, swords, and staffs. As the martial artist's cultivation increased, their strength increased, and their martial arts attainments increased, the power of the martial arts they displayed with sabers, spears, swords, and staffs would become stronger and stronger.
Even if it was a Nine-star Martial Saint, having a low-grade spiritual weapon and not having one were two completely different concepts.
However, if two archers had comprehended the Second Realm of Archery, there was basically no difference whether they had a low-grade spiritual bow or not.
For an archer, only a stronger bow could exert power far beyond their own strength. Once the bow's grade could not keep up with their own strength, there was no substantive difference whether they had a bow or not.
It was because of this that Zi Shanhou said that the Purple Firmament Bow in Ye Xing's hands was more useful than in his own.
Ye Xing could use the Purple Firmament Bow to kill enemies four realms higher than him, but Zi Shanhou could not.
Moreover, when Ye Xing became a Nine-star Martial Saint, it would be impossible for him to use the Purple Firmament Bow to kill enemies four realms higher than him. At that time, he would not even be able to kill enemies three or two realms higher than him. At that time, the Purple Firmament Bow would be much less useful than it was now.
"I understand, Master!" Ye Xing stroked the Purple Firmament Bow, like a peerless swordsman stroking the treasured sword that accompanied him throughout his life.
Zi Shanhou waved his hand, and another quiver of purple arrows appeared in front of Ye Xing.
Zi Shanhou said, "The Purple Firmament Bow is too strong. Ordinary arrows simply cannot withstand its power. Before it can kill the enemy, it will directly explode. The arrows shot from the Purple Firmament Bow must be forged from Spirit Metal. This quiver of purple gold arrows was forged from the peak of Low Grade Spirit Metal. It can completely withstand the power of the Purple Firmament Bow and increase its power!"
"Good arrows!"
Ye Xing put away the Purple Firmament Bow and took the quiver. He took out a purple gold arrow and looked at it, praising it.
In the quiver, there were a total of thirty purple gold arrows. Each purple gold arrow was forged from the peak of Low Grade Spirit Metal, and the material of ten purple gold arrows was enough to forge a Low Grade Spirit Weapon sword.
In other words, just these thirty purple gold arrows were equivalent to three Low Grade Spirit Weapon swords, and were extremely precious.
And the arrows, under the shooting of a strong bow, had a terrifying collision force when they hit an object. Even if it was an arrow equivalent to a Spirit Weapon, it could only be used a few times.
It could be seen that the consumption of a good bow and some good arrows was extremely shocking. If it was used frequently, an ordinary person would not be able to withstand it.
Ye Xing also put away the purple gold arrows. He stood up and respectfully bowed to Zi Shanhou, saying, "Thank you, Master, for giving me the bow and arrows!"
Zi Shanhou stood up and pulled Ye Xing up, saying, "Fifteen years ago, in the Azure Cloud Ancient Land, because my strength was not enough, I could only obtain the first volume of the Azure Cloud Eye. Now that you have the Purple Firmament Bow in your hands, there is hope for you to obtain the second volume of the Azure Cloud Eye. The complete Azure Cloud Eye is a Peak Grade Spirit Weapon, a priceless treasure. If you can obtain it, it would be a great fortune!"
