Paragon of Sin

nd the bright, playful smile on Wei Wuyin ’s face.
He was in disbelief.
Younger than him? ”I… ” He felt an urge to call Wei Wuyin on his bullshit, but he remembered that his standards were not ’the ’ standard. 

”I apologize if I was disrespectful, ” Yao Houyi said.

Wei Wuyin ’s smile widened, ”An agile mind.
No wonder you could comprehend such profound Intent. ”

”I don ’t… ” Yao Houyi was still unsure how to respond to Wei Wuyin.
He didn ’t believe he had this World Heart Intent.
Just as he was about to speak his mind, Wei Wuyin ’s hand moved, a single index finger outstretched and it tapped Yao Houyi ’s glabella.

When that happened, Yao Houyi felt his mind expand greatly.
His Sea of Consciousness must ’ve expanded by three times in a single moment, increasing the amount of mental energies he could contain within.
He felt as if he was having an out-of-body experience. 

To him, he was observing Wei Wuyin touching his forehead, and his eyes were erupting with scintillating light that engulfed the entire deck.
He was awed by what he witnessed.
Images of himself! From a young child to an adult, firing out arrows with his bow in hand.

At times he was smiling, other times he was frustrated, others he was fixing broken arrows, or cleaning his bow.
As he fired out arrows and swung his bow in different angles, he was as lively and animated as real life.
He could barely distinguish it from himself.

Suddenly, he was brought back to his body.
He felt unsteady and nearly toppled to the floor, barely catching his balance.
The spiritual images vanished, but he could still see silhouettes of himself in shadows and flickers of light.
When he looked at his palms, he felt as if he held a bow and arrow in his hands. 

If before he was confused, if before he was baffled, then now he was deeply questioning everything in life.
When his gaze finally lifted, trying to find answers, he discovered Wei Wuyin ’s handsome visage carrying a dignified gaze unlike his smiling expression from earlier.

”What…did you do to me? ” Yao Houyi felt different.
Completely different.

Wei Wuyin calmly said, ”I suspected that limited mental energy prevented you from processing the Will inside the Intent, so I just expanded your mind a little.
But I never expected… ” Halting his words, that dignified gaze fixed on Yao Houyi, staring into his eyes.

Wei Wuyin had discovered something frightening.
Yao Houyi hadn ’t comprehended a single World Heart Intent, but two.
A type of Bow Intent and Arrow Intent, and these two Intents merged together into one with perfect synchronicity. 

In the world of cultivation, bows were not limited to just hand-pulled bows, but crossbows with elastic launching devices and their ammo wasn ’t just arrows, but rocks, metal bullets used for hunting animals, bolts and canisters of liquid such as oil or adhesives.
He was well-aware of this, having deployed some of these means himself during his battles in the Scarlet Solaris Sect.

However, the bow and arrow as a whole wasn ’t very well-used, oftentimes considered archaic.
When a cultivator reached a certain level, comprehending wind energies and capable of birthing it, projectiles of this nature became obsolete.
After all, a ward of wind could easily alter the trajectory.

In fact, he had never seen a single archer in his entire life beyond the Elemental Birth Phase.
While some tools were used in the defense of cities, many of these warbows were substituted with cannons that can fire out compressed forms of destructive energies as societies advanced to such means.

He hadn ’t expected that this man had comprehended two Intents to the World Heart Level, merged them into one, and it originates from such an obsolete weapon.
While talented, outrageously so, impossibly so, unfathomably so, it was also quite tempting.

Wei Wuyin had been trying to get Zuhei to merge his Battle and Slaughter Intent, believing its form would rival his Elemental Origin Intent.
Yet this man, a Yang Growth Phase cultivator, had accomplished it with two Intents and brought them to the World Heart Intent level? 

If brought to a certain level of strength, what feats could he accomplish with just a single bow and single arrow?

Yao Houyi was fiercely shaken.
Wei Wuyin expanded his mind with a touch? What type of cultivation level could accomplish such an incredible feat?! A deep-seated curiosity was nestled in his heart. 

Wei Wuyin and Yao Houyi stared at each other for a very long moment, as if connected by some unseen force. 

Wei Wuyin broke this silence first, ”Are you hun- ”

But before his words could be finished, Yao Houyu kneeled directly with a harsh thud, startling even Wei Wuyin.
”Let me, Yao Houyi, follow you.
If asked, I ’ll be your arrow that shoots the stars if need be! ” 

”… ” Wei Wuyin was taken aback by the initiative.
With a hearty laughter, he couldn ’t help but amusingly said: ”My arrow? The one that shoots the stars, huh? You don ’t even know if I have good intentions, yet you ’re willing to kneel before me and pledge your allegiance? Isn ’t that a little careless and unreliable? ”

Yao Houyi ’s heart tightened.
But he remembered his parent ’s words, and the last regret he had told that conniving woman.
If one day, he could shoot down the stars in the sky, he would be able to be satisfied with life. 

”I don ’t want to live my life with any regrets, so no matter what, ” Yao Houyi lifted his gaze to discover Wei Wuyin ’s silver eyes, ”I ’m willing to follow you with all my heart. ”

”… ” Wei Wuyin was silent for a long moment, those words striking a heavy cord in his heart.
Then, a bright smile overtook his expression, and with a hearty laugh..
”Then, the arrow who promises to shoot the stars, I can ’t let your heart be disappointed. ”
