The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 108 The Second Level of Mental Strength
On Fangcun Mountain.

Lei Zhan stood in the mountains and forests, holding a bow and arrow in his hands, looking into the distance.

Thousands of miles away, deep in the mountains and forests, Wangshu placed an arrow target there, and on the target, there was an inch-sized red heart.

The bow and arrow were easily borrowed.

This bow and arrow is a top-grade magical weapon of the immortal grade, and can withstand Lei Zhan's brute force.

Even hearing that Lei Zhan came to practice the top ten magical powers in the three realms made her interested in advance.

Wangshu was also very interested in the magical powers in the Three Realms Palace.

Even because she was a god and demon who practiced both body and qi training, she was able to choose some of the nineteen magical skills in the entire Three Realms Palace.

And the one who came here was her real self.

"A range of ten thousand miles..."

Lei Zhan stood at one end of the forest, holding a black longbow, with candlelight flickering faintly in his eyes.

The target thousands of miles away became extremely clear in his eyes.

Even the red paint on the target and the wood grain of the target itself, every tiny trace, was fully taken in by Leizhan.

"To shoot this arrow into the bull's eye of the target a hundred times should be a test of my ability to control my mental strength. After all, mental strength is illusory. Even if I have mental strength, it is very likely to collapse in the middle of the process." Lei Zhan watched from afar and immediately understood.

If you want to successfully complete the test, focusing your energy on the arrow is naturally the most important thing.

"Let's try it first!" Lei Zhan smiled slightly.

Open the bow and nock the arrow.

The black longbow, which was a top-grade magic weapon of the immortal grade, was directly pulled into a full moon, and a fiery red arrow emitted a slight cold light.

Leizhan felt the wind around him, and his whole soul seemed to fly thousands of miles away with the breeze blowing into the mountains and forests, flying to a target with a red heart on it.

The fingers of his right hand that was holding the arrow loosened instantly, and the bowstring of the black longbow made a buzzing sound at that moment.

call out!
The fiery red arrow suddenly turned into a stream of light, whistling across the sky, and the wind along the way was torn apart by the arrow.

Ten miles.

Hundreds of miles.

Thousands of miles.

The arrow was flying, and the illusory mental power attached to the arrow also flew into the air, as if it had turned into a stream of light along with the arrow.

call.

The arrow flew past the target and passed by Wangshu beside him, without even touching the corner of his clothes, and flew past the target ten miles away with a whistling sound.

"This..." Leizhan was dumbfounded.

Just ten miles away?

Even if you just randomly shoot at the target, it's probably just this level.

However, those are all attached with divine power, magic power, and divine consciousness to help. If you rely solely on brute force...

"Even with so much effort put into it, there can be such a huge difference?" Lei Zhan thought to himself.

"I guess it's because after five thousand miles, the flying arrow encountered various factors that were too affected..."

Leizhan once trained his mind and soul to develop his archery skills, and even reached the realm of the Dao of Archery. He could see at a glance the various flaws in the deviations in the results of the arrows he shot.

"Also, the mental energy attached to the arrow is not enough. If the mental energy attached is small, the impact on the arrow will be small, and it won't even be enough for me to correct it from the moment it deviated in the first place."

The arrow is like a spear, and mental strength is the pulling rope.

Even without using divine power, magic power, or even divine consciousness, even if the arrow flies a hundred or even a thousand miles away, you can use your mental power to pull it over and hit the bull's eye directly!
"Master, is the purpose of setting this test to let me learn how to control my mental power?" Lei Zhan thought to himself.

Although Lei Zhan had experience in practicing the secret technique of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife with his mind power in the past, and had even used the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife attached with his mind power to easily kill a Taoist disciple at the celestial immortal level, he had never used the power of his mind to attach an arrow to actual archery.

"Then try again! Just like a mind-power probe!"

Lei Zhan flipped his hand, and a fiery red arrow appeared in his hand again.

He bent the bow, put the arrow on it, and the arrow turned into a stream of fiery red light and flew out again.

call.

The world exists in one mind, but everything around is blurry, and the only thing in the mind is the arrow in the hand.

Lei Zhan's mind was completely focused on the arrow, and his entire body seemed to have turned into an arrow, flying over the mountains and forests, passing through the treetops, and constantly changing the direction of the arrow.

Bang!
"Hit it!" Fairy Wangshu smiled. "Leizhan, hit it! Right in the bull's eye!"

"Hu." Leizhan exhaled lightly. As someone who had cultivated the Eye of Candle Dragon, the top pupil technique in the Three Realms, his eyesight was so great that even the so-called 'clairvoyance' could not compare to it.

Naturally, he also clearly saw the fiery red arrow hitting the bull's eye thousands of miles away.

"This time, although I successfully hit the bull's eye thousands of miles away, I can clearly sense that the mental effort attached to the arrow was too much."

Leizhan was experiencing the subtle feeling just now, and had a vague understanding.

collapse! collapse! collapse! collapse! collapse! collapse!
Arrows were shot out one after another.

Lei Zhan adjusted the mental strength attached to the arrow, sensing the wind, sensing the space, and sensing the subtlety of the arrow at that moment.

call.

One by one, the arrows hit the red bull's eye thousands of miles away, but Leizhan could feel his heart flying thousands of miles away as well.

Even, with the breeze blowing, it can fly farther...

……

boom! boom! boom!
In the distant mountains and forests, a woodcutter wearing straw sandals, cloth clothes and a straw hat, holding an axe, was chopping down a tree in front of him that was as thick as a man's embrace.

"One! Two! Three!" "Five! Six! Seven... Get down!"

Boom~~~

With a loud bang, the dark-skinned woodcutter picked up the yellow gourd from his waist, opened the bottle cap and put it into his mouth.

The outer layer of the yellow gourd was slightly golden and had a shiny, oily feel. It was obvious that the owner of the gourd used it frequently and even rubbed it frequently.

"The wine, the wine is gone?" The woodcutter poured the last drop of wine into his mouth and stuffed the yellow gourd back into his waist.

"We've finished the wine, it's time to go home today!"

Carrying the axe on his waist, the woodcutter turned around and was about to leave.

But suddenly, he stopped moving.

"Hmm? Heart power?"

"On Fangcun Mountain, who has comprehended the power of the mind? And even reached the second level?" The woodcutter's face showed a hint of curiosity. "Is it Jiang Jun? Or Yin Yue?"

"They've been learning my archery for at least tens of millions of years, but they're still stuck at the first or second level..."

The woodcutter carried his axe, shook his head, and then strode out of the forest.

It is certainly gratifying that they are.

It didn't matter to the woodcutter if it wasn't them.

He didn't even have the interest to investigate.

The wine in the gourd was gone, and there were only two or three things he wanted to do every day.

Drink, chop trees, go home and drink.

……

time flies.

Leizhan slowly opened his eyes, the expansion of his 'heart' had already ended, and that rare and mysterious charm had just dissipated.

"Big Brother has returned?"

The 'heart' was constantly expanding, and Leizhan naturally saw through his 'heart' the woodcutter who was leaving the forest with a yellow gourd on his waist and an axe on his shoulder.

Lei Zhan shook his head. He had been shooting arrows for thousands of miles and hitting the bull's eye a hundred times. Now he had already achieved this goal, so this test was naturally passed.

Wow.

With a thought, Lei Zhan's body turned into a stream of light, and in an instant, he arrived thousands of miles away.

"Congratulations? The top ten magical powers in the entire Three Realms have been obtained!" Wangshu looked at Leizhan with a smile.

For example, top-notch magical powers like Hou Yi's Archery were something most cultivators had never even seen, or even heard of from afar. However, after becoming a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch, they were right in front of them, easily accessible.

Wangshu was delighted to see that Lei Zhan had achieved his wish, and naturally felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

"You can too." Lei Zhan smiled and said, "There are many top-notch magical powers in the Three Realms Palace, and Hou Yi's archery is just one of them. After you challenge the ninth-level puppet, you can naturally go in and choose a few magical powers."

"Yeah." Wangshu nodded slightly. On the day she entered Fangcun Mountain, after the banquet, she felt that she had gained something in her mind, so she hurried into seclusion. Several days had passed, and she still hadn't tried the ninth-level puppet.

"I suggest you learn Houyi's archery. After all, this magical power involves the method of operating mental power. I don't need to elaborate on the importance of mental power. As for the rest of the magical powers, such as the Eight-Nine Profound Art, you can choose any of them at will." Leizhan looked at Wangshu with bright eyes.

Ever since his mental strength broke through the second level, he seemed to have acquired an inexplicable charm, even in an invisible way.

"Mental strength?" Wangshu said with a smile, "Okay."

……

Three Realms Palace.

It was still the same open space, with the skinny old man lying on a recliner in the space. The evening sunlight, with its residual warmth that had not yet completely disappeared, shone on the old man who had been sleeping for many years, accompanied by the snoring that came one after another, which was inexplicably harmonious.

"Second senior brother."

Leizhan stood in front of Ji Dian and whispered:
"Junior brother has completed the test of the magical power "Hou Yi Archery"..."

"Just go in." Ji Dian didn't even open his eyes, as if he was mumbling in his sleep.

"After you learn a method, leave it where it is. If you want to learn something new, take out the manuscript and place it next to me."

"Yes." Lei Zhan glanced at Ji Dian who was sleeping, and then entered the Three Realms Palace again.

The Three Realms Palace is very small. It is called a palace, but it is just a pavilion with a radius of more than ten meters.

As soon as Lei Zhan came in, he immediately saw the black bamboo slips placed very conspicuously on the table.

"It seems that this is the complete book of Houyi's archery." Lei Zhan thought secretly in his heart, and then picked up the black bamboo slips.

As soon as it came into contact, his spiritual consciousness penetrated directly into it.

Boom~~~
A huge amount of information quickly poured into the soul like a tide.

The golden crow rises and the laurel tree falls.

It took several days for Leizhan to fully wake up.

"This Houyi's archery skills..." Leizhan's eyes were filled with amazement.

It is hard to imagine that this wonderful method of circulating mental power was created bit by bit from scratch by an uncanny genius.

Even though this method of mental power circulation can only be considered extremely simple in the endless chaos, it is still difficult to hide the astonishment of the person who created this method and shot down ten golden crows. Even the golden crow demon king with the strength of a true god fell under the arrow.

"Houyi... archery. Mental strength..." Leizhan showed a complicated smile on his face, and then put down the black bamboo slips in his hand.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Lei Zhan left the Three Realms Palace directly with his footsteps as fast as the wind, and what left with him was a book that recorded the magical powers!
