If a weapon’s quality makes it very close to a divine artifact in power, but isn’t at the level of needing to be bound by blood, what then? After reaching the Deity level, can one continue to use this weapon?” Linley asked. He actually truly did have some affection towards his adamantine heavy sword.
He didn’t want to give up the adamantine heavy sword. And, in terms of quality, it wasn’t too far off either.
“Haha…”
Muba began to laugh loudly. “Linley, ‘binding by blood’ doesn’t necessarily determine whether a weapon is good or not. For example, interspatial rings. In the Higher Planes, interspatial rings are as common as bags or sacks here in the Yulan continent. They are very ordinary. Interspatial rings need to be bound by blood, but does that mean they are powerful?”
Linley was stunned.
All these years, Linley had always believed that binding by blood was something which a weapon would only acquire after reaching the divine artifact stage. But now, from the sound of it, that was a mistake.
“Binding by blood is nothing more than a technique.” Muba laughed.
“For example, an ordinary blade, even just a wood cutting machete, in the hands of a Sovereign who often uses his Sovereign power and his spiritual energy to nourish it, after trillions of years…will most likely have transformed into a ‘Sovereign artifact’ which is beyond the level of ‘divine artifacts’!” Muba explained.
Linley’s eyes lit up.
“Sovereign artifacts?” This was the first time Linley had heard him mention Sovereign artifacts.
“Right. Sovereign artifacts.” Muba laughed. “I forgot to tell you. The various levels which divine artifacts can be divided into also are based on the power of the divine artifacts master. Some newly forged divine artifacts, if given to a Demigod to use and nurture who remains at the Demigod level, most likely will only be a low level divine artifact.”
“But a full God who nurtures it, as long as he spends time and effort on it, will allow it to become a middle level divine artifact. From this, we can tell…that if a Sovereign wholeheartedly devotes himself to nurturing a weapon, then the weapon will most likely reach the Sovereign artifact level. As for what the weapon started off as, that really doesn’t matter much.”
Linley nodded slightly.
Muba could tell that this Linley most likely had a mortal, ordinary weapon.
Hearing Muba’s explanation, Linley felt at ease.
He didn’t need to change weapons, at least. Linley had been worried that if in the future, he grew too strong, if the adamantine heavy sword would perhaps be unsuited to high level combat. But now, it seemed, there was no need…as Muba had put it, even an ordinary wood chopping machete, in the hands of a Sovereign, could become a Sovereign artifact with enough time and attention from the Sovereign.
“My adamantine heavy sword is much better than a wood chopping machete at least.”
Linley was in an excellent mood after hearing this.
“Mr. Linley, I won’t disturb you further. I’ll head back for now.” Muba laughed as he stood up.
Linley and Delia hurriedly stood up as well.
No matter what Muba’s intentions were, he had told Linley many things today. Linley felt very grateful towards him. In addition, Linley felt that what Muba had said was most likely real, based on Linley’s own experiences with Bloodviolet.
After Muba left.
“So the creation of a powerful divine artifact is so complicated.” Delia sighed.
Linley laughed. “Actually, that makes sense. Only if you wholeheartedly nurture it will a truly powerful divine artifact slowly be created. If just by relying on good materials and good forging skills, you could create a powerful divine artifact, then they would be all over the place.”
Linley had already made up his mind.
In the future, he would have to pay more attention to his adamantine heavy sword and Bloodviolet.
While he travelled on his path to the peak of training, his divine artifacts would grow alongside him…
