"Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Qin Xiao, come, let me teach you archery."
"For countless years, I've only focused on one thing, and that's archery."
"I'm not bragging, but my archery skills are unparalleled in the world, aren't they?"
"Even if you take into account the existence of the Reincarnation Autarch, I still have some confidence in saying these words."
"For countless years, I've been immersed in pain, and I've been turning my sorrow into strength, allowing my archery to reach the pinnacle."
Hou Yi waved his hand and said to Qin Xiao.
Indeed, there was nothing much to say about these things.
Whenever they were brought up, they were filled with bitter tears.
This was especially true for Hou Yi. He'd been in pain for countless years, and the mention of Chang 'e was simply a stab to his heart.
Qin Xiao had always been in awe of Hou Yi's archery skills, and he'd long wanted to learn a thing or two from him.
Qin Xiao was naturally delighted when Hou Yi took the initiative to mention it.
"Haha, I was just about to learn archery as well. Many thanks, Senior Hou Yi." Qin Xiao smiled and clasped his hands towards Hou Yi.
Hou Yi began to explain swordsmanship to Qin Xiao.
If the sword was publicly acknowledged as the king of all weapons, then the arrow was publicly acknowledged as the swiftest of all weapons.
The sword and the arrow were the same, but they represented two different extremes and heights.
"Brother Qin Xiao, I've heard that you're a Heartforce Cultivator. Your Heartforce Laws should be at an extremely high level."
"You've also cultivated the Dao of the Flying Dagger. This is also a minor Dao related to Heartforce."
"Archery is also a skill related to Heartforce."
"The highest level of archery is to control the arrow with one's heart. Heart and arrow become one, and you can shoot wherever you wish."
"Archery, heart, and strength. The pinnacle of archery is a perfect combination of these three. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change."
"The qualitative change will ultimately allow one's archery skills to reach the pinnacle."
"Actually, I've always been pursuing the pinnacle of archery. I've always wanted to walk down a path of archery."
"But after countless years of hard work, I still haven't seen the slightest trace of a path."
"It's too difficult to create a Dao. Archery has existed since ancient times. It can be considered a derivative of the major classification of swordsmanship. "
"Creating a small path for something that already existed in the first place doesn't sound like an impossible task."
"Maybe there is no such possibility, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I love arrows. Even if it's impossible, I will continue to cultivate and try to make my arrows more powerful and more magnificent. This is my goal. "
…
After listening to Hou Yi, Qin Xiao couldn't help but admire him.
Even if something existed, it was indeed possible that it could not create a small path.
Swords had Sword Dao, and Sword Dao was the Great Dao of cultivation.
Actually, the Way of the Sword was just a general name. It wasn't just sword techniques that were called the Way of the Sword, but all weapon techniques were called the Way of the Sword.
Arrows were also part of the Way of the Sword.
Furthermore, arrows had always existed.
However, this was not absolute. After all, Li Sheng had also created the Dao of Flying Daggers.
Although the Flying Dagger Technique did not exist before, the Flying Dagger Technique was not much different from the Hidden Weapon Technique.
It was just that Li Sheng had changed its appearance and finally created a small path of his own.
In fact, archery was not completely impossible to create a path of its own, right?
Qin Xiao felt that it was still possible. The key was how one could get out of it.
Anything could become a path of its own. The only thing that mattered was whether or not someone could walk out of it.
Qin Xiao believed that everything was possible.
For something that had not been created, no one dared to say that it would not be created.
The world was always moving forward.
There would always be more and more things being created.
It was just that it was really too difficult to create a path of its own.
Although Hou Yi's archery was unparalleled in the world, there was probably no one in the Great Thousand World who could match him.
He could be considered to have reached the pinnacle of archery.
However, even if he did something to the extreme, he might not be able to continue to break through to a new level.
"Senior Hou Yi, people still have to have dreams. What if they come true?"
"There's a saying in my hometown that if a person has no dreams, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"
"It's already very difficult for a person to do something to the extreme in the Great Thousand World. That's a prerequisite, a foundation, for creating a path."
"Therefore, it's not impossible for Senior Hou Yi to develop his archery to the level of archery."
"I, Qin Xiao, am also creating my own path. I also believe that I will succeed."
"So, why are you so unconfident, Senior Hou Yi?" Qin Xiao said.
Hou Yi looked at Qin Xiao in a daze, then smiled and said, "Qin Xiao, I really admire you."
"You have such confidence, such heroism, such talent and potential, and such activities."
"If there's anyone in the Great Thousand World who is most likely to create a path, it's none other than you, Qin Xiao."
"Although there are a lot of people who have been walking on this path, the great majority of them are unable to succeed even after spending their entire lives."
"It's not that I don't have confidence. In fact, back then, I was also very ambitious and heroic. I was also determined to walk this path."
"However, endless years have passed, and my confidence and passion have long been worn away. I have long accepted my fate and compromised."
"A path is not something that can be created just because you want to."
"It's possible that no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to walk out in the end. It's like a frog at the bottom of a well. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to jump out of the well. "
"In our Immortal Realm, in this era, only Shakyamuni and Sage Li have been able to create a path. No one else has been able to create a path."
"There are some things that you will understand after trying hard. If you can't walk out, you won't be able to."
Qin Xiao looked at Hou Yi and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although Hou Yi's words were indeed a little depressing.
However, thinking about it carefully, it was actually a helpless fact.
Yes, there were many things that couldn't be done just because one wanted to, worked hard, had confidence, didn't give up, and persisted in doing it.
There were many things that indeed, no matter how hard one worked and how determined one was, one would not succeed in the end.
After all, success only belonged to a very small number of people.
Creating a path belonged to a very small number of people.
Hou Yi had worked hard for endless years, but he couldn't see any hope. It was understandable that he was a little discouraged.
In fact, Qin Xiao didn't know if he would be discouraged if he still couldn't create a path in his inner world after working hard for endless years.
It was not appropriate for him to say anything now.
After all, he had only lived for more than 200 million years.
This period of time was not short for Qin Xiao, but for someone like Hou Yi, it was too short. It was just a blink of an eye.
If he had lived for 20,000 or even two million universe eras, his mentality would probably be completely different.
Thinking about it, the longer it dragged on, the less hope there would be.
If he couldn't create a path in his inner world in one go, would there be any hope if it dragged on for tens of thousands of universe eras?
In that case, Qin Xiao also felt that there was no hope.
Qin Xiao also began to shoot arrows.
For the first time, Qin Xiao chose a closer target, placing the target 10,000 miles away.
With Qin Xiao's eyesight, he could naturally see it clearly from 10,000 miles away.
"Brother Qin Xiao, the farther the distance, the more you can't trust your eyes. If you blindly trust your eyes, you won't be able to hit the target. "
"The real precision of an arrow depends on one's heart. It depends on one's heart to control the arrow."
"After all, when the arrow is flying in the air, it will be hindered by many forces. It will be affected by many factors and change the direction of the arrow."
"A slight change in direction is enough to make the arrow miss a lot."
"It doesn't seem to be a difficult thing, but if you want to do it, it won't be so easy."
Hou Yi patiently explained to Qin Xiao, telling him the things that Qin Xiao should pay attention to and teaching Qin Xiao how to shoot more accurately.
In terms of archery, Qin Xiao's level was still very low, because he had basically never played with arrows.
His level was still under the support of his powerful strength.
But the effect of such support was limited.
Although there were many explanations from Hou Yi, these were only theoretical things and could not be put into practice.
In practice, he still needed to operate it himself.
Swish!
After aiming for a while, Qin Xiao shot the first arrow.
The arrow whistled through the sky, flying out at an extremely fast speed.
The distance of ten thousand miles was covered in the blink of an eye.
However, Qin Xiao's sword did not hit the target. It just brushed past the target's shoulder.
Just a little bit more and he would have hit the target.
But almost, he still did not hit the target.
"A little bit." Qin Xiao shook his head and curled his lips.
Hou Yi smiled and said, "Brother Qin Xiao, you're already very good."
"The first time you shot an arrow, you already have such an effect. It's just a little bit worse. This level is already very good. "
"It means that Brother Qin Xiao, you'll soon be able to practice."
"With the experience of failure, you'll sum up some experience."
"When the experience comes out, your second arrow will definitely hit the target."
"Come on, let's try again."
Qin Xiao nodded. The failure of the first arrow did let him sum up some experience and roughly know where the problem was.
As long as these problems were adjusted, there should be no problem.
Therefore, Qin Xiao did not hesitate and drew the bow again.
Because the arrow was an ordinary sword, it was only equivalent to a low-grade divine weapon. In the Immortal Realm, it was the most common weapon.
The power of an ordinary sword was not strong.
Therefore, it was difficult for the arrow to reach an extreme speed in the air. Moreover, the arrow's ability to break through the void would be much weaker.
In this way, the arrow would encounter great resistance in the process of flying.
And this resistance only needed to change the direction of the arrow a little, and the final result could be changed.
Therefore, when this arrow was shot, whether it was the strength, the angle, the speed, or the control of the arrow, they all had to be perfectly combined to reach a very good level.
Only in this way could the arrow accurately hit the target after it was shot.
Any of these factors, if there was a slight flaw in any one of them, it would lead to the final result of failure.
Archery seemed to be a relatively simple thing, but it also contained a lot of skills.
