Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 360 The Sun-Shooting Arrow, the Immortal Arrow Technique, the Great Sun Golden Crow Scripture, the Divine Arrow Method for Shooting the Sun

Inside the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Emperor Xiao and his entourage divided up the golden crows within.

Although it was speculated that this was merely one of the Ten Golden Crow Princes, its size still resembled a small star, containing a vast amount of essence and blood, enough for everyone present to cultivate.

In truth, the essence blood of cultivators in the primordial era is incredibly precious and extremely rare. However, the essence blood contained within differs depending on the race and cultivation level. For instance, the essence blood of a single ancestral witch, even a single drop, contains enough energy and profound mysteries to satisfy the refining needs of countless cultivators at the Taiyi realm.

The same applies to the Golden Crow's essence blood; just a single drop extracted would be enough for everyone to refine. The immediate task is to find a way to force out this essence blood.

"Behold my Thunder Axe!" The burly man, a spitting image of Chen Yaojin, was clearly Chen Yaojin's direct descendant. Wielding the Thunder Axe, a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, he charged straight at the Golden Crow's corpse.

With a "bang," the axe landed on the Golden Crow's corpse, scattering sparks. The Golden Crow didn't even lose a single feather, let alone its essence.

Even the Great Sun True Fire surrounding the Golden Crow's corpse was of unimaginably high quality. The heat it emitted gradually melted this innate spiritual treasure.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They had been so excited, already planning how to use the Golden Crow's essence blood. Who knew they couldn't extract it? It was like seeing a treasure mountain but being unable to take it away.

The group tried various methods to extract the essence blood, but all of them failed.

Di Xiao also used many supernatural powers and even took out the spiritual treasures he had obtained before, but to no avail. Although the Fusang Tree was there to suppress the flames, it was clearly insufficient to suppress the three-legged golden crow.

Di Xiao's expression was solemn. His deep, double pupils swept across the mysterious, piercing through illusion. After a long while, he finally found a weakness: "Brothers, I have found this golden crow's weakness. Follow me to attack this place and harvest its essence blood."

In an instant, Di Xiao picked up the Qingxu Sword he had obtained earlier and aimed it at the belly of the Golden Crow. This area was obscured by numerous golden Crow feathers radiating golden light, but under Di Xiao's double pupils, he noticed something unnatural.

"Boom, boom..."

With everyone working together, countless battles were fought here. What had seemed intact was instantly torn open, from which an indelible aura of immortality emanated. That aura tore through the golden crow's abdomen, ripped apart many of its feathers, scattering them, and caused golden blood to flow down the wound.

"This...this is the aura of the Witch Clan?" As a descendant of the Great Qin Dynasty and also a descendant of the Human Witch Clan, and having slightly awakened her Witch Clan bloodline through years of cultivation, Zhao Yinman was most sensitive to the aura of the Witch Clan, and instantly sensed that this place was not simple.

At this moment, everyone ignored what Zhao Yinman said and looked with surprise at the scattered golden crow feathers and the flowing golden crow blood.

Di Xiao grabbed a handful of feathers, which flew into his hand. The dripping essence blood also flew over and landed in front of him, forming a small pool of blood.

"Hiss... Is this the essence blood of the Golden Crow? It has been so many years since it fell, yet its blood still exudes such heat, such vitality, and such a mysterious aura. Even the essence blood of some Great Luo cultivators cannot compare. It truly deserves to be called the Golden Crow!" A group of people gathered around, their eyes filled with excitement, their emotions a mix of admiration and wonder.

Di Xiao was equally impressed by the Golden Crow's essence blood. Good heavens, it's been so many years since it perished, yet its essence blood remains so powerful.

As Di Xiao sighed, Zhao Yinman carefully tugged at his sleeve and gestured for him to look in a certain direction.

Although Di Xiao found it strange, he followed Zhao Yinman's guidance and looked at the golden crow before him. What he saw next left Di Xiao with a look of astonishment: "This..."

But then, the once unharmed golden crow underwent a change after the wound appeared. The most significant change was that an arrow appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the wound and piercing the golden crow through it.

At this moment, Xue Dingshan and the others also turned their attention away from the Golden Crow Blood Pool and noticed this scene. They were filled with curiosity and admiration: "Could this be the legendary Sun-Shooting Arrow?"

"It must be. But Jinwu was perfectly fine just now, how come there's an arrow stuck in his body now?"

"No, this is not a real arrow. It is a phantom of an arrow, or a form of its aura. It is as if the aura of this arrow is eternal and will not dissipate even after so many years. Just like some great sword masters, the aura of their sword strikes is still difficult to dissipate even after many years."

"That's true. In the primordial world, cultivators who practice archery are extremely rare. And those who have cultivated archery to the level of Hou Yi are absolutely unique. The archery skills of the Great Witch Hou Yi are so powerful that they are indestructible throughout the myriad realms. Even after passing through the Golden Crow for many years and being burned by the Great Sun for many years, they are still difficult to dissipate."

"Don't be so quick to praise it. What I'm most worried about right now is whether the essence blood in this Golden Crow Blood Pool will be affected by the aura of this arrow. What if we have to refine the arrow aura in addition to the essence blood later? If that happens, it will be troublesome. The arrow aura left by the Great Witch Hou Yi is not so easy to refine."

"Let's refine a smaller amount and see!"

While the group admired the power of the great shaman Hou Yi and marveled that the golden crows before them were the nine golden crow princes shot down by Hou Yi during his sun-shooting spree, they were now more worried that the golden crow essence they had refined might contain the aura of Hou Yi's arrows.

Thinking this, everyone drew a trace of essence blood from the blood pool and integrated it into their bodies for refining and cultivation.

Di Xiao did the same, taking out a small amount of his essence blood to refine. However, as the Golden Crow essence blood was absorbed, the surging heat instantly swept over his entire body. Fortunately, his previous experience of being burned by the Great Sun True Fire and the suppression by the Fusang Tree allowed Di Xiao to barely accept it.

However, the heat emanating from this Golden Crow essence blood far surpassed that of the Great Sun True Fire refined previously. Yet, as it was refined, an aura of immortality, along with an indescribable sharpness and brilliance, emerged within the essence blood.

That aura was like an arrow, trying to pierce through Di Xiao's body. Di Xiao's eyes widened: "There really is. But even if it's the arrow's intent left behind by the Great Witch Hou Yi, it won't make me submit. Refine it..."

Immediately, Emperor Xiao's surging magical power, accompanied by his fighting spirit, swept across the arrows and his burning blood essence.

Fortunately, these arrows contained very little intention and were like water without roots, so they were quickly suppressed and refined by Di Xiao. After refining them, Di Xiao felt a slight change in his physical body, but he gained considerable insight into the art of archery.
