Chapter 1569: Chapter 581: The Sword of Godslayer, Secrets of the Demon Sect

The sword is three feet and seven inches long, its weight is unknown.

The handle is pitch-black like ink, as if discolored by being soaked in ancient blood.

Despite the secret techniques and prohibitions applied, the sword’s power does not show.

Yet, merely in Ruolan’s hands, it exudes an unparalleled Evil Qi, sweeping around in all invisible forms.

Ruolan’s face turns pale, her slender palms that hold the sword tremble slightly.

Her rosy lips quivering, she said, “This nameless sword was once a top True Device, wielded by an extreme warrior to slay a Divine Transformation Great Power, absorbing the blood of the Great Power. Over the years, it has developed a hint of Spirit Intelligence, thus possessing the might of a Spiritual Treasure.”

“True Master Feileng named it the Godslayer Sword!”

“As you can see, the bloodstain on the Godslayer Sword is left by the Divine Transformation Great Power that was slain.”

“Given that the Great Power was a practitioner of the Path of Blood, and had comprehended the Power of Blood Law, remnants of the Power of Law also linger in his Blood Essence. If someone talented obtains it, they might discern the Blood Law of the Divine Transformation Great Power and use it to advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm. Even if one’s attributes are not aligned, the sword itself has unmatched power in this world!”

“Of course, the Godslayer Sword has its flaws; the residue is not only the Blood Essence of the Divine Transformation Great Power but also his lingering grudge. Particularly, this grudge has merged with the Sword Spirit, making taming this sword a significant effort.”

“True Master Feileng tried multiple times to tame it but failed and even hurt himself, so he decided to auction it off, hoping for a fated individual to obtain it.”

These words were spoken intermittently.

But the underlying information was crystal clear.

Even those like Luo Chen, who are of the Golden Core Foundation generation and do not understand the mysteries of the Nascent Soul Divine Transformation, found the explanation clear and thought-provoking.

Especially since Ruolan didn’t hold back in disclosing both the advantages and disadvantages of the sword.

If a powerful individual obtains it, even if they fail to refine it, they can’t blame the side of Feileng City.

In the private room, Luo Chen looked enviously at the sword, having been without a suitable offense magic item since his Xuanhuo Sword was damaged.

If he could obtain this sword, that would be wonderful.

“A Spiritual Treasure!!!”

However, Han Zhan’s doubtful voice came just in time.

“This is not a Spiritual Treasure; it is merely a Pseudo-Spirit Treasure.”

Luo Chen was stunned, “Pseudo-Spirit Treasure?”

Han Zhan nodded, and carefully explained: “I have a close connection with Tian Fan City, as you know, and even my Nascent Soul Formation was possible with help from Tian Fan City. Therefore, I understand quite a bit about Tool Casting.”

“Especially since Tian Yezi sought to craft magic items targeting Cultivator’s Nascent Souls and borrowed the Monster-Locking Tower from Ghost God Valley many times, he would often discuss Tool Casting matters with me, so I know even more.”

Luo Chen nodded; he was aware of these secrets.

Even saying that through years of research, Tian Yezi had indeed achieved some results.

His Primordial Chaos Tripod, used in crafting, fused the research results of Tian Yezi and was capable of seizing Cultivator’s Golden Cores from afar.

Once Luo Chen achieves Nascent Soul formation in the future and upgrades the Primordial Chaos Tripod to a True Device, maybe it could truly realize Tian Yezi’s ambitious goal of targeting Cultivator’s Nascent Souls directly!

Han Zhan continued, “According to Tian Yezi, the Weapon Grades strictly ascend from Magical Weapons to Treasures, then to True Devices and Spiritual Treasures, incrementally, and rumors suggest there are also Daoist Instruments and Immortal Devices above Spiritual Treasures.”

“I’m not familiar with the rumored Daoist Instruments or Immortal Devices, but at least a Spiritual Treasure should not be as Ruolan described.”

“If merely slaying a Divine Transformation Great Power and combining his grudge can give birth to an Artifact Spirit, then the creation of Spiritual Treasures seems far too simple!”

Luo Chen was astounded at how simple it was deemed to slaughter a Divine Transformation Great Power and use him for crafting weapons.

A Divine Transformation Great Power represents the pinnacle of a realm!

Ordinary people may never encounter one in their lifetime.

Han Zhan didn’t mind Luo Chen’s internal complaints and shared his understanding.

Or rather, the understanding of both Tian Yezi and Tian Fan City.

“A true Spiritual Treasure, akin to a cultivator, is an extremely powerful True Device that naturally manifests an Artifact Spirit by amalgamating with the Heaven and Earth Laws. Only at this stage, when the True Device possesses Spirit Intelligence, can it be called a Spiritual Treasure!”

Weapons, too, can comprehend the Heaven and Earth Laws?

Luo Chen was bewildered.

But soon, Luo Chen caught on, perhaps it really was as Han Zhan described.

Otherwise, those within the Immortal Cultivation World who bind Demon Beast Souls and Cultivator Souls within magical weapons and treasures to enhance their power, could they also be termed Spiritual Treasures?

Clearly, Spiritual Treasures have not degenerated to that extent.

Therefore, weapons born from combining with resentful spirits are just clever tricks, or even mischievous routes forming a “pseudo-communicative treasure.”

However, since the so-called “Godslayer Sword” itself is of a high True Device grade and integrates the lingering grudge of a Divine Transformation Great Power, it thus slightly possesses the characteristics of a Spiritual Treasure.

To call it a “Pseudo-Spirit Treasure” is not an overstatement!

But even so, Luo Chen still coveted it!

“Don’t even think about it, such a treasure is not meant for you,” Han Zhan reminded him, his tone now completely calm, no longer as urgent as before, probably because he obtained the Soul Nourishing Wood.

Luo Chen was equally calm, “I am well aware, just daydreaming a bit, not knowing when I might possess a Spiritual Treasure of my own. Or well, even a True Device would do!”

In a short span, Luo Chen had dismissed the unwarranted fantasies in his mind.

Or perhaps, such fantasies should not exist in the minds of any cultivator of Foundation Establishment or Golden Core within the Cold Palace.
