"City Lord Wang, you graduated from Ethereal Dao College's Dharmic Armament Pavilion. Could it be that you can already sense the Heavenly Evocation segment?" the illusory woman suddenly asked as she looked at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was taken aback as he noticed Kim Do-myung's surprise. Hence, he looked at the Stellar Source mountain and immediately realized that Kim Do-myung could not sense what existed within the Stellar Source.
And through the illusory woman's words, Wang Baole instantly understood what existed within the Stellar Source.
"Dharmic Armaments?" Wang Baole asked softly.
"There are three ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments placed within the Stellar Source, and they are isolated by the Stellar Source. Even Core Formation realm cultivators would not be able to sense them. Only Dharmic Armament cultivators who have reached the level of being able to refine Dharmic Armaments or are at the stage of sensing the Heavenly Evocation segment would be able to sense them." As the illusory woman spoke, she took a few more glances at Wang Baole. Clearly, she was shocked that Wang Baole had reached the stage of sensing the Heavenly Evocation segment at his age.
And the one who was even more shocked was Kim Do-myung. His eyes widened as he looked at Wang Baole in disbelief. Without a doubt, Wang Baole had not told anyone about his attempt to refine Dharmic Armaments. As such, very few people knew that Wang Baole had unknowingly reached such a level in the art of artifact refinement.
"Why did you place the Dharmic Armaments within the Stellar Source? Could it be related to the Anti-Spirit Bomb? "Wang Baole ignored Kim Do-myung's expression and immediately asked.
In fact, after coming to the experimental base, seeing the Stellar Source, and knowing that there were Dharmic Armaments within, he suddenly had a premonition that perhaps … the Heavenly Evocation segment that he had been unable to fully comprehend would have a breakthrough here.
If someone else had asked, perhaps the illusory woman wouldn't have said anything. Even if Wang Baole and Kim Do-myung's application had been approved, she wouldn't have said anything. However, after thinking for a while, she looked at Wang Baole and seemed to have sensed the bottleneck that Wang Baole was stuck at. Therefore, after pondering for a while, she nodded as if asking for instructions.
"Before I introduce the relationship between the Anti-Spirit Bomb and the Dharmic Armament, you must first know … what exactly is a Dharmic Armament!" As the illusory woman spoke, she raised her right hand and pointed. Immediately, the black Star Origin Mountain became blurry and gradually became transparent, revealing the three ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments within!
"This is a Dharmic Armament?!" Wang Baole immediately looked over. After taking a closer look, his pupils constricted. Even Kim Do-myung, who had seen ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments before, was shocked by what he saw at that moment.
At that moment, what was revealed from the transparent Stellar Source wasn't a conventional Dharmic Armament. Instead, it was … a black dragon the length of an arm, a fiery bird that emitted a golden glow as if its entire body was covered in golden flames, and the last one was a stone golem that held lightning in its hand!
Regardless of whether it was the black dragon or the fiery bird, they all exuded a powerful aura. Just like the stone golem that held lightning, their entire bodies emitted waves of shocking energy waves. Even though the energy waves were blocked by the Stellar Source, it was still like the awakening of a divine spirit that could easily shake the surroundings.
"These are Artifact Spirits? No, they're not Artifact Spirits! " Wang Baole's breathing quickened. He suddenly felt that the knowledge he had learned about Dharmic Armaments seemed … to be wrong!
According to the teachings of the four Dao Colleges, Dharmic Armaments were super Dharmic treasures formed after fusing with the power of Heaven and Earth and Artifact Spirits. Hence, they were called Armaments!
As for the origin of Dharmic Armaments, it was the refinement method recorded on the ancient greenish-bronze sword fragment. Hence, the refinement lineage was born. As more fragments related to refinement were discovered, the various factions formed Dharmic Armament cultivators. At the same time, the refinement method recorded on the ancient greenish-bronze sword fragment continued.
"The knowledge of Dharmic Armaments imparted by the Federation today isn't wrong. However, in reality, it lacks some core concepts. It's not that they don't know, but the Federation has a rule that it's not easily imparted. For seventh-grade and eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments, knowing the core concepts won't affect the refinement process. Only when refining ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments do they have to understand the core concepts within." The illusory woman spoke softly with a hint of coldness in her voice. It didn't seem like she was doing it on purpose, but rather, it was an instinct.
"What you see is indeed not an Artifact Spirit, but the essence of a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament. In reality, since the so-called power of Heaven and Earth is formed by the fusion of the will of all living beings, it naturally includes all the mythical figures that have truly existed since ancient times. After they died, they didn't dissipate but instead fused with the will of Heaven and Earth!
"However, before the Spirit Inception Era, although their will existed, we were unable to sense it or borrow it. With the advent of the Spirit Inception Era and the evolution of the cultivation civilization, we now have the ability to sense it and have the right to borrow it!
"The Heavenly Evocation segment in refining Dharmic Armaments is actually … to sense the will of those mythical figures in Heaven and Earth and guide their will into the Dharmic Armament. Then, the Dharmic Armament will be the body and the Artifact Spirit will be the soul to carry their will. To a certain extent, they will be reborn and continue on!
"This is the core of Dharmic Armaments!" As the illusory woman spoke, Kim Do-myung was a little confused. However, to Wang Baole, it was as if he had been struck by lightning and was enlightened. His entire body trembled and his mind rumbled. Even his breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment.
His eyes widened. The feelings he had when he studied Heavenly Evocation surfaced in his mind. He finally had an answer to all the failures. He finally had a clue to all the feelings he had experienced.
"So that's how it is!" Wang Baole only felt that the fog surrounding Dharmic Armaments had been dispelled greatly. He could vaguely see the path ahead of him. It could be said that even if this trip to the experimental base were to stop here, it would still be an amazing opportunity for him.
After noticing the enlightenment in Wang Baole's eyes, the illusory woman's cold voice reverberated once again.
"There have been many mythical figures in the history of Earth, and there are differences in strength. Therefore, it is not difficult to create a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to create an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament. However … since ancient times, there have been too few divine wills that can support a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament …
"At the same time, the requirements for the materials and the Artifact Spirit are extremely high. All these restrictions make it so that there are no more than thirty ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments in the entire Federation, including the common folk!
"As for the relationship between Dharmic Armaments and Anti-Spirit Bombs … To a certain extent, you can think of the power of Anti-Spirit Bombs as the power of many ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments exploding together …
"This does involve the principles of Dharmic Armament creation, which is the carrying of the divine wills. However, it is not just that. At the same time, it also involves the Spirit Restriction and the collision of matter and antimatter." At this point, the illusory woman did not continue. In reality, the reason she had told Wang Baole these core secrets was because she had been informed that she was allowed to speak of them.
However, even if it was only these contents, it still moved Wang Baole greatly. When he heard about the collision of matter and antimatter, for some reason, the first thing that came to his mind was … the collision of Spirit Qi and Negative Spirit Qi, which was also known as Dark Qi, and whether it could also produce a shocking force.
However, he could not test it out here. After Wang Baole made a mental note of this, he followed the illusory woman's departure. As he moved forward, he frequently turned back to look at the Stellar Source Mountain. He wondered when he would be able to have a Stellar Source Mountain like this. He vaguely deduced that this object might be the key to creating a ninth-grade Dharmic Armament.
Although Kim Do-myung did not know much about Dharmic Armaments, he noticed Wang Baole's previous reaction and contemplation. He immediately realized that this trip would be of great help to Wang Baole. Therefore, his mind became active and he pondered whether he should place more bets on Wang Baole.
Just like that, the two of them had different thoughts. They followed the illusory woman and left Laboratory Number Two. They followed the passageway until they reached Laboratory Number Three, where Zhao Pinfang was. This was also the end of their trip.
Even though there were quite a number of laboratories in the research base, and judging from the scale of the place, there were dozens of them, it was obvious that they couldn't open all of them to Wang Baole and Zhao Pinfang. Looking at Zhao Pinfang's position, it was obvious that they would only be allowed to visit three laboratories at most.
And the appearance of Laboratory Number Three was different from the previous two. The moment they walked in, Wang Baole saw that there was no equipment, no Star Source Mountain, and no researchers. It could not even be considered a laboratory. It was more like the interior of an ordinary cave!
The only thing that was different … was a mural of a vast starry sky carved into the wall of the cave. Countless stars could be seen in that mural, and in that boundless void, a gray planet could be seen. That planet seemed to have reached the end of its road. Mountains were crumbling, and the earth was cracking. Countless souls floated out from the crumbling planet, their faces filled with pain. They formed a river.
All of this did not attract much attention from Wang Baole. The moment they walked in, his and Kim Do-myung's gazes involuntarily landed on the back of a middle-aged man who was standing in front of the mural and looking at the river of souls with his back facing them.
He was dressed in a blue robe and looked like a scholar. His hair was white like the Milky Way. He stood there like a mountain peak. Although he did not turn his head, there was an indescribable pressure emanating from his body and enveloping the surroundings!
This was … the Federation's chief spirit researcher, the Dao partner of the Martian Colony Governor, Zhao Pinfang!
