First Training in Heart Power

Within the Original Core space.

Lu Yan'an's consciousness rarely appeared here. He gazed at the enormous Original Core in front of him, observing the Law Secret Pattern on it. The runes representing time and light Secret Pattern and combined, creating a rare sense of harmony.

The vast aura of Origin Law also permeated the consciousness space, and even the flow of time around the Original Core subtly changed.

"Come!"

A piece of broken scale armor, imbued with a hazy, ethereal aura, suddenly appeared in Lu Yan'an's hand. With a thought, he...

"Time Demon Beast! Give birth to it!" Lu Yan'an quietly activated his Innate Secret Technique and shouted in his consciousness space.

"Boom! Boom!"

The entire consciousness space trembled instantly, and beneath the hazy scale armor in Lu Yan'an's hand, an invisible force seemed to exist, steadily hovering high in the consciousness space.

This is one of only three opportunities he has in his life. Now, Lu Yan'an begins to use this Innate Secret Technique to create a Clone.

Laugh!

The hazy, tattered scales vaporized instantly, leaving only a single drop of strange liquid. Countless energies in the consciousness space surged wildly upwards, almost instantly enveloping the drop of liquid that had condensed after the vaporization of the tattered scales. In just a moment, all the energy crystallized, forming a cube with a cross-section, similar to the Original Core.

At the core of the cube.

Simple yet perfectly integrated purple Secret Pattern emerged, and the entire cube gradually exuded a majestic aura.

"Here we go."

Lu Yan'an knew that the "Time Demon Beast" Clone had begun to gestate, which was not surprising, since it was just an "ordinary Special Lifeform" with a Gene Level of 300 times, and it was impossible for it to be unable to gestate.

"I just don't know how long it will take to successfully conceive," Lu Yan'an to himself.

He did know that the Mosha Clan's Clone, City Lord Luo, had been gestating for three years and nine months, but the Time Demon Beast was different from the Mosha Clan. As a race, the Mosha Clan was destined to have a relatively high Life Gene Level, and their population was even greater than that of the Golden Horned Beast.

The Time Demon Beast are Special Lifeform with Life Gene Level 300 times higher, far surpassing the Mosha Clan, which is also an energy life form, in both quality and strength.

"Strange, I originally guessed that it would take decades or even centuries to gestate, but I didn't expect it to only take 20 years." After a day of gestation, Lu Yan'an had a complete understanding of the gestation of the Time Demon Beast based on the profound information fed back by the Original Core in his consciousness world.

"Twenty years? But even twenty years is a long time!" Lu Yan'an sighed softly, feeling rather troubled. For a young life that is not yet a hundred years old, twenty years is already an incredibly long period of Years.

"Alright, alright, let's proceed with everything else first, and we'll talk about the Clone's development later!"

Once this Innate Secret Technique, "Clone," begins to develop, the time it takes is predetermined from the start. Lu Yan'an no longer needs to exert any effort; he can simply wait patiently.

Lu Yan'an stood in a clearing in the woods of the villa area, holding a specially made composite bow and arrow, gazing into the distance. He had commissioned this bow and arrow from the Virtual Universe Company using points, specifically to gain control over his Heart Power. The bow could withstand brute force at the Universe Level or even Domain Lord level, while the arrows, after absorbing the bow's kinetic energy, could completely convert it into propulsion, and were incredibly hard.

Thousands of miles away.

On the other side of the open space, the Guard Army leader, Hisoka, stood. With a wave of his hand, a target appeared beside him.

[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend of ten years, Yeguo Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu]

"You must hit the bullseye of the target thousands of miles away," Lu Yan'an. He was forbidden from using Spiritual Force or controlling the arrow with primal Origin Force; he had to rely solely on raw, brute force to fire the arrow and hit the bullseye of the target thousands of miles away. The bullseye was only one inch in size. He had to hit it ten times in a row to succeed!

This test is extremely difficult because the use of Spiritual Force is not allowed. Therefore, even a typical Universe Level being, simply by being enhanced by the Origin Force, can barely see tens of thousands of miles away with their naked eye. As for the bullseye of the target? They are simply not visible.

Moreover, because they are separated by thousands of miles, even if the area in sight is just a vast, flat plain, the trajectory of the arrow will deviate from its intended path due to the planet's gravity and the curvature of space!

"This Heart Force Path inheritance is too outrageous, isn't it? It lacks nothing except the method of how to cultivate Heart Power." Lu Yan'an was speechless. He hadn't expected that this inheritance would lack the first step from zero to one. However, it was also possible that the Heart Sword Emperor hadn't expected that the inheritor who had met his assessment standards would not have even embarked on the path of Heart Power.

"Fortunately, I have experience," he remarked. Recalling the details of how the Beiming Controller cultivated his Heart Power in the novel "Desolate Wilderness," wasn't this the perfect guidance? It was a very simple principle: to follow the example.

Under normal circumstances, this method of archery training would require exceptional eyesight. However, for a Universe Level expert whose eyes have already been enhanced, a single glance is enough to observe the movement of an ant tens of thousands of miles away.

"Give it a try." Lu Yan'an stood in a clearing in the woods of the villa area, staring intently at the red bullseye thousands of miles away. Instantly, countless rays of light and reflections from afar gathered in his eyes. Every tree, lake, and valley was under his observation. There was a target thousands of miles away, and Hisoka Immortal stood beside the target.

"Is it forbidden to use Spiritual Force to influence the arrow?" Lu Yan'an moved his right hand, and a black arrow suddenly appeared in his hand. The arrow was on the string, and he drew the bow and shot the arrow.

Wow!

His brute strength was astonishing; as a ninth-tier Universe Level powerhouse, his power was enough to destroy the world on an ordinary asteroid! Instantly, the specially made purple bow was slowly drawn to its full extent. Terrifying power slowly accumulated, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

He sensed the wind and the light...

A gentle breeze swept by, and the light from the stars on the horizon spilled freely...

In archery, the ability to sense wind and light is paramount. Wind greatly affects the arrow's trajectory, while light has the greatest impact on the archer. For a Universe Level powerhouse, they are all born archers. At the Universe Level, their innate eyesight is exceptional, and they can also manipulate the arrow through the Origin Force or Spiritual Force, slightly altering its direction. This allows them to correct any deviations from their target due to distance!

However, the requirement for cultivating Heart Power is that one cannot use Spiritual Force or even Origin Force to operate.

"Wind speed... light and shadow interaction..."

"It feels about right."

"Go!"

Lu Yan'an's eyes were incredibly focused as he stared intently at the target in the distance, his right hand fingers instantly relaxing.

"Stop!"

The arrow transformed into a streak of Flowing Light the instant it was released, piercing through the air and disappearing into the distance.

The arrow flew at a speed exceeding the speed of sound! A deafening sonic boom erupted wherever it passed. But this specially crafted arrow was completely unaffected by the sonic boom, continuing its rapid forward flight until, under the gravitational pull of its Wuchen Planet, the arrow slowly approached the ground.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" was heard.

The arrow fell to the ground and, after sliding a certain distance, completely lost its kinetic energy. It landed approximately a thousand kilometers in front of the target!

"This..." Lu Yan'an clearly saw this scene, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. "So much difference?"

A difference of over a thousand miles?

This is outrageous! Lu Yan'an originally thought that even if it was a miss, it shouldn't be this extreme. But judging from the current result, he had overestimated himself.

"Try again." Lu Yan'an was a little unconvinced, so he drew the compound bow again. After carefully adjusting the angle at which the arrow was fired upwards, he released the bow with his right hand, and the arrow shot out again.

Collapse!

The bowstring twanged, and the arrow had long since turned into Flowing Light and flown far away. This time it was slightly better; the arrow landed three hundred miles in front of the target.

Seeing this, Lu Yan'an frowned slightly. "It seems I underestimated the difficulty of archery." As someone who is new to archery, even a natural archer could not do anything beyond their capabilities.

"Let's lower the difficulty a bit first and learn the basics of archery. A tall building starts from the ground up, and we shouldn't expect to achieve things overnight," he comforted himself. His previous training was like trying to run before one could even walk—it was too impatient.

"Again!" This time, Lu Yan'an set his target within ten kilometers for special training, frequently recalling details of the Beiming Controller's childhood archery practice. And his skills, over time, gradually approached perfection...
