After Kuafu's death, one person was heartbroken: his longtime friend, Da Yi.
Da Yi's cultivation was even higher than Kua Fu's, and he was renowned for his archery skills, making him arguably the number one archer among humans.
After learning of Kuafu's death, he took up his bow and arrows to hunt down the nine golden crows in order to avenge him.
Although his bow and arrows were decent magical treasures, capable of killing some demonic beasts, they were still somewhat insufficient to deal with nine golden crows.
Several arrows were fired in quick succession, but they were often melted by the blazing fire of the sun before they even got close to the golden crow.
"Hahaha... This fool, he really thinks he can hit us with that little thing? He's dreaming..."
Several little golden crows laughed heartily, hovering mockingly above Yi's head, their sarcastic laughter ringing out incessantly.
Da Yi was so angry he almost vomited blood. He hurriedly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and tried to shoot several more arrows into the sky.
Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, he still couldn't harm a single hair on the little golden crows.
Left with no other option, they had to retreat in defeat.
However, his actions thoroughly angered several golden crows, so they gathered above the Dayi tribe, radiating light and heat.
This caused great suffering to the Yi people, leading to their continuous deaths from hunger and thirst.
Left with no other choice, Da Yi had to go to the Netherworld and arrive at Houtu Palace.
At this moment, Houtu and Xuanming were working together to cultivate a secret divine power. After being disturbed by Da Yi, they were both somewhat displeased.
However, they were also greatly surprised when they heard what had happened among the human race.
However, they were at a crucial moment in their cultivation and were temporarily unable to spare any time for anything else. Otherwise, all their hard work over the years would be wasted once they emerged from seclusion.
Fortunately, after Houtu calculated the secrets of heaven, she immediately understood a bit of the destiny.
Knowing that the ten suns appearing in the sky and the calamity befalling humanity is ordained by fate, even if she and Xuanming were to emerge from seclusion, they would likely be powerless against the few golden crows.
This doesn't mean that she and Xuanming were no match for those little guys, but rather that those little guys are now destined for greatness.
Even if the two of them were to take action themselves, under the workings of fate, they would be hindered by other matters, or someone would intervene...
Fortunately, under the laws of Heaven, humanity still has a glimmer of hope.
Moreover, she had also figured out that the lifeline of the human race lay with Da Yi.
Therefore, although the Goddess Houtu did not leave the pass, she gave Yi some pointers.
Having received guidance from the Goddess Houtu, Yi immediately bowed in gratitude and took his leave...
After leaving the Netherworld, Da Yi did not return to his own tribe. Instead, he used his flying technique to fly towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
...
The majestic Kunlun Mountains are shrouded in celestial light.
East Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.
On this day, the sound of bells and chimes suddenly rang out in the palace, and the entire palace was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.
At the same time, the clouds in the sky parted, the rosy clouds shone brightly, and flowers fell from the sky. Auspicious energy flowed on the ground, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.
The arrows refined by the Primordial Taoist were finally perfected and released in accordance with the mandate of Heaven.
Right after the arrows were successfully forged, Yuanshi Daoren summoned Baihe Tongzi to his side.
"Greetings, Master." The boy prostrated himself and kowtowed.
"Yes, get up." Yuanshi Daoren told the boy to get up.
The boy agreed, stood up, and respectfully inquired why the Primordial Daoist had summoned him.
Yuanshi Daoren handed a quiver to Baihe Tongzi and then instructed, "Soon, a human named Da Yi will come to see you. When that time comes, give him this quiver directly."
The White Crane Boy agreed, picked up his quiver, and left Jade Void Palace. He arrived at the foot of the mountain and found a flat bluestone by the roadside to sit on.
He didn't have to wait long before Da Yi flew over from afar.
When Da Yi landed in front of the mountain gate, he was about to go forward to pay his respects when he soon saw the White Crane Boy sitting by the roadside.
The White Crane Boy also saw him and quickly jumped down from the blue stone.
"Are you the Great Yi of the human race?" the boy asked first.
Da Yi, without suspicion, nodded and said, "Indeed, may I ask your honorable name, young man?"
"I am the White Crane Attendant under the command of Lord Yuanshi of Jade Void Palace."
"So it's the White Crane Boy! My apologies!" Da Yi had come to ask for a favor, so he was quite polite and courteous.
"I have come to see the Primordial Immortal on the orders of the Goddess Houtu. I hope you can convey my message to me."
The White Crane Boy laughed and said, "Master already knows why you've come, so there's no need to see him."
"Then..." Da Yi frowned, about to ask again.
The White Crane Boy took the quiver from his back and handed it to Da Yi, saying, "Here... this is what Master asked me to give you."
Da Yi immediately understood, and with a smile, he reached out and took the quiver, saying, "Thank you, boy."
Then, he slung the quiver over his back and bowed in the direction of the Jade Void Palace.
"Many thanks to the Primordial Immortal for making this possible."
Inside the Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Daoist, who had been resting with his eyes closed, nodded silently, "This one does know proper etiquette."
After thanking the True Man of the Primordial Beginning, Da Yi bid farewell to the White Crane Boy and once again used his flying technique to leave Kunlun Mountain.
On this day, he arrived at the foot of Buyoukongfang Mountain, weary from his journey.
On the mountain, in the main hall of the human race, Guan Kong was refining a spiritual treasure with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
She immediately stopped the ritual and turned to look at the wall behind her.
The Sun-Shooting Bow, which had been hanging on the wall, was now vibrating slightly, emitting bursts of five-colored light.
Seeing this, she had already guessed what was going on. After calculating with her fingers, she became even more certain.
Just then, a boy came to report that a man named Da Yi had come to request an audience.
"Go and lead him up the mountain," Guan Kong said calmly.
"Yes," the boy replied, taking quick steps out of the main hall.
Guan Kong stood up and came to the Sun-Shooting Bow, and said with a smile, "Alright! You should calm down. I know your destined master has arrived, so naturally he will not hinder your destiny."
Amazingly, as soon as she finished speaking, the Sun-Shooting Bow on the wall fell silent.
A short while later, the boy led Da Yi into the hall.
Guan Kong stepped forward to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist Guan Kong, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Haha, not bad, thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Da Yi."
Although the two were not from the same tribe, they had met several times in the ancestral home of the human race.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two took their seats as host and guest.
Guan Kong ordered his men to present him with celestial dew and spiritual fruits.
Having traveled a long way, Da Yi was indeed quite hungry and thirsty, so he didn't stand on ceremony and ate some to fill his stomach.
However, from the moment he entered the hall, his mind was already drawn to the Sun-Shooting Bow on the wall.
Therefore, whether he was talking to Guan Kong or eating spiritual fruits and elixirs, he would glance at the Sun-Shooting Bow from time to time.
Seeing this, Guan Kong chuckled inwardly but did not expose Da Yi's thoughts.
Moreover, she already understood that when her teacher sent the bow from afar, it was through her that he delivered it to Yi.
Of course, she wouldn't go against her teacher's wishes...
