Bows and arrows were very common in the lower realm. However, almost no one in the cultivation world used them because they were of little value to the people of the cultivation world.
Mages could not use bows and arrows, but Warriors had sword auras. The sword auras of high-level Warriors had a much longer range than bows and arrows, and were more powerful. Therefore, no one in the array world would use bows and arrows.
It was even more so in the cultivation world. The lowest level of cultivation Dharma Treasures in the cultivation world could fly out and hurt people. After flying out, one could even control it with one's spiritual will. It was much more powerful than a bow and arrow that had no return.
For these reasons, almost no one in the cultivation world knew how to use a bow. In the entire cultivation world, you could hardly see the shadow of a bow.
