A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Yunhua had used a bow before in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, but the way to use a bow in this world of Desolate Era is different from other worlds. It emphasizes not the laws of the bow and arrow, but—the heart!

Yunhua chose the bow and arrow this time because it wanted to use the power of this world to comprehend the power of the heart.

In the cultivation system of this world, besides the path of divine and demonic body refinement and the path of Qi refinement, there is also the most mysterious path - the path of mental power!

"The heart?" Yunhua drew the bow again, completely focused.

The heart can be strong or weak; in different worlds, the heart manifests itself in different ways. In the world of "Covering the Sky," the most direct manifestation of the strength or weakness of the heart is the strength or weakness of the will.

But in this world, the strength of one's heart is manifested more directly—inner power!

In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to forget everything, as if all of things were concentrated on the very tip of the arrow.

Even Yunhua himself seemed to feel wisps of light slowly gathering on the tip of the arrow.

The rudiments of the power of the mind have manifested.

"collapse!!"

With another loud bang, the arrow shot through the air, and at the same time, the invisible power of the heart that Yunhua had sensed merged into the arrow the moment it left the bowstring.

In that instant, he had a strange feeling, as if he had completely transformed into an arrow, whistling through the air.

He felt the air rushing past him, he felt the intense heat of the arrows, he felt the ripples from the opponent's hammer blow...

"Boom!!"

However, the next moment, Yunhua felt his mind explode instantly, and the arrow was instantly blasted apart by the golden-armored man.

At that moment, the other golden-armored men rushed over and swung their hammers in a coordinated attack.

Yunhua suddenly snapped out of his daze and burst out with explosive speed, breaking free from the encirclement of the golden-armored men in an instant.

"Good lad, you're fast enough! Your understanding of the Way of Fire is so profound!" Seeing Yun Hua unleash such terrifying power in an instant, running out of his encirclement at an explosive speed, the golden-armored man couldn't help but marvel.

This kind of speed is not something anyone can use; it requires a very deep understanding of the Dao, to unleash the full power of the Dao in an instant.

But Yunhua remained unmoved by the golden-armored man's words. He leaped backward again, instantly arriving at the edge of the space, and then continued his actions, striking the string and drawing the bow!

"Bang!!" Another loud noise rang out as the power of the Blazing Fire Divine Bow suddenly erupted. A sharp flaming arrow burst forth instantly, piercing straight at the golden-armored man at the front.

At the same time, Yunhua was also focusing his attention on the arrow he had shot. With the experience from the first time, his sense of the arrow was much stronger this time. He vaguely felt that he could slightly change the trajectory of the arrow.

"Useless!" The golden-armored man swung his hammer, trying to break Yunhua's arrow.

However, his hammer blow seemed to have deviated slightly, failing to strike the arrow with the most powerful part of his weapon.

Although the arrow was still blasted apart, the golden-armored man stopped in his tracks, completely stunned. He stared at Yun Hua in shock: "The trajectory of the arrow changed? You can actually change the trajectory of an arrow that has already been shot? Mental power?"

Although it was only a slight change in angle that caused the arrow to avoid the point where the hammer was most powerful, it was still a change nonetheless.

The reason why archers are so terrifying is mainly because the bow and arrow have such a long range and speed that no sword or knife can compare with them in terms of distance and speed.

The bow and arrow is the weapon with the strongest attack range and attack speed!

Because arrows are so fast, their attack method is often straightforward. As long as you see the direction in which the arrow is shot, you can predict where it will land.

Therefore, many strong individuals are not actually very afraid of bows and arrows because their attack methods are too limited. However, there is one type of archer who is an exception: the archer who has mastered mental power.

The arrows shot by these archers far surpassed those of ordinary archers in both power and speed, making it impossible for many strong individuals to dodge or block them even when they saw the bow drawn and the arrow nocked.

And most fatally, they can make minor adjustments to the arrow after it has been shot, and it is precisely these minor adjustments that make it difficult for many people to accurately judge where the arrow will land.

Furthermore, bows and arrows and mental strength are a perfect match.

Among the many skills, archery is one of the ones that requires the highest level of concentration.

If you're using a knife or sword, it's not a big deal if you get a little distracted; at most, your attack will just be slightly off-target.

But what about using a bow? If you're distracted while using a bow, even a small mistake can lead to a huge error!

Because of the focus required for archery, practicing archery is also one of the best ways to cultivate mental strength; and at the same time, mental strength also makes up for the biggest weakness of archery.

It can be said that the bow and arrow and mental strength complement each other perfectly.

"A master archer? Am I supposed to witness the birth of a master archer with my own eyes?" The golden-armored man felt utterly absurd; he actually felt fear emanating from this junior who was merely at the Purple Mansion Realm.

Yunhua was unaware of the changes in the golden-armored man; he was simply quietly experiencing the mysteries of mental power.

"Mental power, as it stands, is somewhat similar to divine sense. However, it is something at a deeper level, originating from the depths of the mind and guided by willpower..." Through these few arrows, Yunhua gained some understanding of the most unique mental power in this world.

But understanding is not enough. The foundation of mental strength is actually very similar to divine thought, both being extensions of spirit, will, and soul.

In fact, the foundation of mental power and spiritual power is the same. However, spiritual power focuses on the soul, while mental power is more ethereal and is an extension of the mind.

"Mental power, the extension of the heart!" Yunhua pondered for a moment, then continued to practice. He wanted to take advantage of his current understanding to further enhance his mental power and make it progress.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Arrows transformed into crimson streaks of light, piercing the air amidst blazing flames. Along with them, Yunhua's mental energy also pierced the air, as he used his mental energy to micro-manage the flying arrows.

In a short time, the golden-armored men became increasingly disheveled. At first, they were able to get close to Yun Hua and surround him, but as time went on, Yun Hua's arrows became more and more powerful, faster and faster, and their variations became more and more unpredictable.

"Mental power, so this is mental power!" The more Yunhua drew the bow and the more focused he became, the more he understood and perceived the mental power of this world.

At this moment, the Dao heart and will he had cultivated in many worlds were rapidly transforming into the mental power of this world, and his mental power was growing at an unimaginable speed.

Chapter 955 Dominator

In just a quarter of an hour, Yunhua felt that her mental strength had become strong enough to change many things.

The intangible force seems to have become tangible!

If word were to get out that this rate of mental strength growth were to spread, countless archers throughout the Three Realms would be terrified.

"According to the original description, the standard for the first level of mental strength should be that the mental strength remains intact even after an arrow has traveled ten thousand miles. However, my current strength is limited, and my arrows cannot travel ten thousand miles, so I cannot use the method described in the original text to test it!"

"With my current divine body strength and power, it would be impossible to kill those golden-armored men without using the Star-Picking Hand technique to draw the bow. But, mental strength can turn the impossible into the possible..." Yun Hua's heart stirred, and he aimed at another golden-armored man, nocked the bowstring, and drew it.

"Bang!!" A flash of crimson light, and an arrow instantly pierced through the void, arriving in front of a golden-armored man.

"How could it be so fast?!" The golden-armored man was shocked. This arrow was much faster than the previous ones. He quickly swung his hammer to block it.

"Boom!!"

With a loud bang, the hammer in the golden-armored man's hand was pierced through in an instant. Immediately afterwards, a flaming arrow pierced the golden-armored man's forehead, and then flames erupted, and the man exploded.

The nine golden-armored men have finally suffered a loss!

The other eight people stared at Yunhua in shock.

In just a quarter of an hour, he made such terrifying progress that it was astonishing. The golden-armored men were completely stunned.

However, Yunhua didn't care about their thoughts; he was immersed in the mysteries of mental power and continued to draw his bow.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Eight arrows flew in quick succession, eight fiery dragon-like arrows piercing through the remaining eight golden-armored men in an instant, the flames burning their bodies to ashes.

This challenge has now come to an end.

"What a terrifying fellow... There's no mistake, that must be the mental power that Master once mentioned. I never expected that a little guy who's only a month old would have such a strong talent for mental power! That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Master say that one needs to experience a lot in order to comprehend mental power?"

Huangmao Daxiong watched Yunhua's mental strength progress the whole time, and no one was more shocked than him.

Moreover, it was precisely because he had heard the Taoist Sanshou mention the concept of mental power that he was so shocked.

Normally, cultivators need to experience some changes and cause their minds to fluctuate before they can comprehend mental power, but he... comprehended it out of thin air?

This monster is going too far!!

After successfully clearing the fourth level of the Temple of War, Yunhua emerged and made no further moves, remaining immersed in his own insights.

He felt that his mental strength had not yet reached its peak and that he could continue to grow.

Yunhua's accumulated knowledge and skills from cultivating in other worlds have not yet been fully exhausted; his Dao heart and will continue to transform into mental strength in this world.

Only someone like Yunhua, who was originally a "strong person," could quickly transform these insights, Dao heart, and will into the power of this world after rebuilding his cultivation. No one else could possibly possess such power.

Which other practitioner who cultivates mental strength doesn't hone their spirit and will through countless events in order to gradually grow their mental strength?

They either honed their minds in battle or experienced a series of upheavals, such as love, hate, and grudges, and then overcame these tribulations, thus allowing their mental strength to grow.

But Yunhua only needs to understand what the mental energy of this world is, and he can quickly convert it into corresponding power. Because he has already experienced all kinds of battles and trials.

It could even be said that cultivating mental strength is more suitable for Yunhua now than the path of divine and demonic body refinement or the path of Qi refinement.

Because mental energy is ethereal and intangible, as long as one has sufficient understanding and a strong enough soul, even a mortal can grow rapidly when isolated from the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Yunhua closed his eyes, and his mental strength was constantly growing. After the Dao heart honed in other worlds was integrated into this world, his mental strength became stronger and stronger.

Finally, silently, his mental strength reached its limit, and only then did he open his eyes again.

A feeling of having the power to control the world welled up in my heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, the realm I just comprehended should be the third level of mental power, 'Dominator'!" Yunhua carefully sensed the changes in himself, while also comparing them with some realms in the original work.

The first level of mental power is called "entry level," and its most direct manifestation is that mental power travels through the air with an arrow, remaining for thousands of miles. Achieving this step is considered mastering the first level of mental power.

The next level of mental power is called "Ice Heart".

The term "ice heart" does not mean completely freezing one's heart and isolating it from the outside world. Rather, it refers to a cultivator's extremely strong inner strength, which is detached from worldly affairs yet introspective and profound, unmoved by external things. The inner heart is like an iceberg that has never melted, remaining unmoved no matter how dazzling the outside world is.

After reaching the second level of mental power, the essence of mental power will undergo a qualitative change, and its power will increase dramatically.

If the first level of mental power only slightly alters the trajectory of an arrow, then the second level of mental power can make the arrows one shoots incredibly powerful, increasing their power to the extreme.

The third level of mental power is called "Domination".

If the Ice Heart Realm is about maintaining one's Dao heart, then the Dominator Realm is a state of transcendence.

Once one's mental strength reaches the second level of the Ice Heart Realm, it needs to be maintained at all times to keep the Ice Heart ever-present and undisturbed by external things; however, once one reaches the Dominator Realm, one becomes the master of one's own heart, and external things and emotions cannot shake one's inner self at all.

This difference is like the difference between an iceberg and a real reef. Icebergs only exist in cold waters, and they melt immediately once they lose their temperature. But reefs? They remain unmoved no matter how much they are impacted!

"The mental strength of a Sovereign Realm cultivator is indeed very strong!" Yun Hua slowly raised his hand, his mental strength enveloping his palm.

"Buzz!" In an instant, an indescribable sense of oppression emanated from his palm, possessing unparalleled power, as if he were lifting a mountain up with one palm.

After reaching the third level of the Dominator Realm, the essence of mental power underwent another qualitative change, and its power surged.

But then, Yunhua dispersed the mental energy in her palm, and all the strange phenomena completely disappeared.

"The third level of mental power, after the Dominator Realm, the difference between mental power and divine sense is already very large, almost different things. Mental power is almost the manifestation of the Dao heart!" Yun Hua carefully recalled the transformation process of mental power, and a trace of enlightenment gradually emerged in his mind.

He had already sensed the difference between the path of mental power cultivation and the paths of qi cultivation and body cultivation. This path was more "idealistic," and it could almost be said that the world was as big as one's heart.

This sentence sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult.

The growth of mental strength is not about seeing what others have to say and then having the same insights; it is a path of idealism and self-centeredness.

In ordinary enlightenment, one can read the notes and insights of predecessors and walk a similar path, but the mental journey is completely different.

People with different personalities, even if they have the same experiences, cannot reach the same level of mental strength; "empathy" does not exist on the path of mental strength.

Chapter 956 The Difficulty of Understanding the Mortal World.

Chapter 956 Difficulty in Understanding the Mortal World

"My mental strength at the Dominator Realm has reached its current limit." Yun Hua sighed inwardly. With his foundation, he could have reached a higher level, but there was a hurdle he was stuck on.

That is the fourth realm of mental power—the mortal world.

The so-called mortal world is about realizing one's own weakness and insignificance, and then giving rise to a yearning for power.

This mindset translates to the realization in the world of "Covering the Sky" as "A single grain of dust can fill the sea, a single blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars." Yunhua had this realization when he was practicing the Grass Sword Technique.

Logically speaking, having had such insights, moving forward should be a very simple matter.

But mental strength is different.

It requires that such insights can still be gained after reaching the "Dominator Realm".

In childhood, when strength is weak, who doesn't have the ambition to "reach for the sky"? If it were just that, if one could cultivate the fourth level of mental strength based solely on past insights, it would be far too easy.

The fourth level of mental strength requires having such ambition even after achieving the "Dominator Realm".

But, ask the world, which "ruler" would genuinely acknowledge that he is merely a speck of dust drifting in the wind, and who would acknowledge that he is just a blade of grass trampled on by the roadside?

Yunhua was no exception.

In fact, this level was more difficult for him than for the others.

Because he was already a strong person, possessing a heart of strength that surpassed countless others, to transform such a strong heart into the mortal realm was no ordinary difficulty, but countless times more difficult than for countless people in this world.
