Chapter 561 The ‘Me’ In the Pas (1/2)

If no one put a stop to the Golden Crows, a majority of the living beings would eventually extinct.

But as the ten Golden Crows joined forces, very few people in the world had the ability to put up a fight. Even if there were any, they could just protect their territory and it was unnecessary for them to pick a fight.

Besides, as long as Xuanqi was defeated, the Golden Crows would stop. If they continued terrorizing, then the resentment of the living beings would bring bad karma to them.

Xuanqi did not dare to escape to the ground. The Golden Grows had brought such catastrophe to the heavens. If they chose to terrorize the ground, it would be disastrous and Xuanqi's fate in Dao would be affected.

Da Yi was sad when he said everything on earth was dying. Furthermore, Xuanqi who was being hunted by the Golden Crows, was his wife's brother. Thus, he decided to break his promise to his wife and take action.

Although Da Yi was unrivaled in heaven and earth, his old arrows were not capable of inflicting much harm on the Golden Crows.

Thus, Da Yi went down the mountains and told the people of his tribe that he needed help and wanted to cut down a part of the World Tree of the east to make his godly arrows.

Back then when the Emperor built the Heavenly Courtyard, he planted a tree known as 'Jianmu', the World Tree. Jianmu was deeply rooted in the Nine Underworlds and had access to the Nine Heavens. If there were ordinary beings who could climb the World Tree to its peak, he would reach the Heaven Courtyard to become a celestial and attain immortality. This was a shortcut to heaven provided by the Emperor.

Ever since the Emperor succumbed to the unfortunate trials, the Heavenly Courtyard collapsed and the only thing left behind was the tree. The tree had spirituality and as it was deeply rooted to the ground and it absorbed the Qi of vitality from the ground. It was extremely sturdy and only very few weapons could cut through it. Xingtian's battle ax was one of the weapons that could do so.

When Da Yi left the mountains, Shen Lian thought to himself that this was it. He actually had the opportunity to witness this legend. This was different from meeting Tianyi, Wen Zhong, and Wuding at Xia Kingdom. He was about to witness a historical moment of a legend, the legend of Da Yi shooting the suns.

Suddenly, there was a wonderful feeling of the 'me' who existed in the past and the 'me' who would exist in the future. The Daoist master and Buddha too was a combination of the past, present, and future. Without separating each other, they would leap into the Three Realms of past, present, and future. Even someone as strong as the Earth Treasury was seeking for such experience and Shen Lian was having a taste of it at that very moment. If it was any other cultivators who were beyond the level of Taiyi, they would pay any price to be in Shen Lian's position.

Even if this was a dream, it felt extremely realistic. To any Daoist who wanted to detach, this was indeed hard to refuse the temptation.

Da Yi did not waste any time and returned quickly. He had a log on his shoulder, an ax-shaped weapon around his waist and his mystic bow behind his back. He looked extremely lethargic.

Shen Lian was slightly taken aback by it. Over the years, he found out that Da Yi had infinite energy stored deeply in his body. Who knew that he would have moments of fatigue. He must have encountered something unusual down the mountain.

Da Yi did not take any breaks. Instead, he took that ax and started working on the arrows. Da Yi had superlative craftsmanship as that log of wood made exactly ten mystic bows. When the mystic bow was produced, the ghost and gods were crying and the wind and rain were weeping. This was the first time the weather turned chilly since the leaping of the ten suns.

Shen Lian had an indescribable feeling when he saw one of the mystic bows. It was exactly this bow that shot him and put him in this current situation.

When he was done with the Sun Vanquishing Arrows, Da Yi went to the peak of the mountain. At that very moment, the rain and cloud had dispersed. The ten suns were still hanging in the sky and they formed a circle with Xuanqi trapped in the middle.

Da Yi did not start firing immediately. Instead, he looked towards the west side, it was the direction his wife Heng'e took off to. He knew that once he released the first arrow, there would be no turning back. Before he pulled the bow strings, he wanted to first look at his wife.

However, Heng'e did not show up.
