After forming a core, cultivators would undergo a complete transformation and break free from the shackles of Heaven and Earth for the first time. Not only would they be able to fly, their lifespan would also increase to 500 years.
It could be said that core formation was a watershed in the path of cultivation.
The difference between the Jin Dan realm and Nascent Soul realm was yet another massive watershed.
That was because after entering the Nascent Soul realm, one would cultivate an Essence Spirit and break free from the shackles of Heaven and Earth once more, extending one's lifespan to a thousand years!
With an Essence Spirit, it meant that cultivators could utilize Dharmic powers for their own use.
At the same time, it meant that cultivators would need new Dharmic arts, weapons and even secret cultivation techniques for spirit refinement.
To put it simply, the intermediate ancient battlefield was a preparation for the many paragons of the Jin Dan realm after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm!
The old monk said, "Before this, there were even heaven-grade Dharmic arts and cultivation techniques that appeared as rewards for the number one of the Phenomenon Ranking!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he was secretly shocked.
After cultivating to the Nascent Soul realm, one would see another world and come into contact with another level.
Dharmic powers were also the powers of Heaven and Earth.
Dharmic arts, cultivation techniques and Dharmic arts had differences in quality.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, Dharmic arts, cultivation techniques and Dharmic arts were divided into four grades according to heaven, earth, mystic and yellow.
Heaven-grade Dharmic arts that could release the strongest, strongest and most terrifying Dharmic arts were heaven-grade Dharmic arts!
Thereafter, they would decrease.
The weakest Dharmic arts were yellow-grade Dharmic arts.
Of course, even yellow-grade Dharmic arts had differences in quality.
Furthermore, in the cultivation world, most of the common yellow-grade Dharmic arts and cultivation techniques were possessed by various major sects and factions.
Mystic-grade Dharmic arts and cultivation techniques could only be passed down by aristocratic families and major cultivation clans.
Earth-grade Dharmic arts and cultivation techniques could only be possessed by the various super sects of Tianhuang Mainland.
As for heaven-grade Dharmic arts and cultivation techniques …
They were something that could only be chanced upon.
In the ancient era, the emperors rose together and paragons roamed freely, creating many heaven-grade Dharmic arts and cultivation techniques. By now, there were not many left.
Furthermore, many of the legacies were incomplete.
That was the reason why the paragons of Tianhuang Mainland were scrambling for the intermediate ancient battlefield.
That was the reason why Di Yin wanted to enter the ancient battlefield once more despite suppressing his cultivation!
For example, Su Zimo's "Daming Seal" was originally an Earth-rank spell.
However, due to the loss of the Mingwang Prayer Beads, there were only four Dharma Seals left. Now, the Daming Dharma Seal could only be considered a Profound-level Dharma Spell.
Strictly speaking, the Demon Vanquishing Seal, Demon Subduing Seal, Immortal Trap Seal, and Immovable Foundation Seal were all Mystic-level spells.
When combined with the Daming Mantra, it was only a high-grade Mystic-level spell.
In the 《Daming Dharma Seals》, only the lost Great Vajra Wheel Seal and the Great Sumeru Mountain Seal were the most powerful. Only then were they worthy of being Earth-rank spells!
However, the strange thing was that it was clearly recorded in the ancient books of the Daming Temple that the Daming True Scripture was a Heaven-ranked spell!
Even if he found the two lost seals, the 《Da Ming Seal》 was only an Earth-level spell.
After combining with the Daming Mantra to form the Daming True Scripture, it would actually become a Heaven-level spell?
That was something that Su Zimo could not figure out no matter how he thought about it.
Of course, for Genying Zhenjun, even if he obtained the Heaven-level Dharma Spell, he would not be able to release it.
Heaven-level Dharma Spells had way too high a requirement for one's Essence Spirit!
Even if Genying Zhenjun burned his Essence Spirit, he would not be able to release Heaven-level Dharma Spells.
In theory, anyone could cultivate Heaven-level Dharma Spells as long as they were at Nascent Soul realm.
However, Heaven-level Dharma Spells were difficult to understand. Genying Zhenjun had just cultivated his Essence Spirit and knew nothing about this level.
It was extremely difficult to cultivate them!
Of course, the benefits of cultivating Heaven-level Dharma Spells were obvious as well.
At the same cultivation realm, an Essence Spirit that cultivated a Heaven-level Dharma Spell would be much stronger than the Essence Spirits of other Perfected Lords!
The old monk continued, "After entering Nascent Soul realm, you'll have to change your weapons. Even if you're wielding connate spirit weapons, you won't be able to release the power of Dharma Spells."
In terms of the toughness of connate spirit weapons, even ordinary Dharmic weapons would find it difficult to shatter them.
However, connate spirit weapons were only at the level of spirit energy.
"There are four types of Dharmic weapons that correspond to different realms. It's extremely simple. The weapons used by Genying Zhenjun are Perfected Lord Dharmic weapons. The weapons used by Void Reversions are Dao Being Dharmic weapons. "
"And so on. The Dharma Daojun wields Dao Lord Dharmic weapons and Conjoint Body Mighty Figures wields Mighty Figure Dharmic weapons."
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he asked instinctively, "Above the Conjoint Body realm is the Mahayana realm where they're addressed as Patriarchs. Are Mahayana Patriarchs using Patriarch Dharmic weapons? "
"Wrong,"
The old monk smiled. "The weapons used by Mahayana Patriarchs are Dharmic treasures!"
"Dharmic treasures?"
Both Su Zimo and Su Zimo were stunned.
That was an unfamiliar term for them.
The old monk said, "The logic behind it is simple. Above spirit energy is Dharmic power and above Dharmic power is the power of divine powers. Above spirit arts are Dharmic arts and above Dharmic arts are divine powers. "
"Correspondingly, above spirit weapons are Dharmic weapons and above Dharmic weapons are Dharmic treasures!"
"The reason why one has to change weapons after reaching a certain realm is because one's strength will undergo a qualitative change as their cultivation increases!"
"If Dharmic power is injected into a spirit weapon, it will explode. Similarly, Dharmic weapons can't withstand the power of divine powers. Dharmic weapons that have been baptized by the power of divine powers are Dharmic treasures! "
When he heard that, Su Zimo was enlightened.
"Be it Perfected Lord Dharmic weapons or Dao Being Dharmic weapons, their grades are the same as spirit weapons,"
The old monk continued, "An inferior-grade Perfected Lord Dharmic weapon with a single Dharmic pattern, a middle-grade Perfected Lord Dharmic weapon with two Dharmic patterns, superior-grade with three Dharmic patterns, supreme-grade with four Dharmic patterns, perfect with five Dharmic patterns and connate with six Dharmic patterns. You guys know all of that."
Su Zimo nodded.
He was a Weapon Refinement Master to begin with and naturally knew about that.
Pausing for a moment, the old monk took a deep breath of air and said, "What I want to talk about is something else,"
"If you guys can successfully advance to Nascent Soul realm, you'll be able to cultivate an Essence Spirit and every Genying Zhenjun will have a chance to refine a Destiny Dharmic Weapon of their own!"
"Destiny Dharmic Weapon!"
Both of them were invigorated.
Su Zimo asked, "What's a Destiny Dharmic Weapon?"
"A Destiny Dharmic Weapon is a Dharmic weapon that is closely connected to your Essence Spirit. You have to use your Essence Spirit to refine it day and night. Over time, an extremely close connection will be established between you and the Dharmic weapon and it will be like a part of your body. "
The old monk explained, "A Destiny Dharmic Weapon can unleash your greatest strength."
When he heard that, Su Zimo frowned.
If that was the case, there was nothing special about a Destiny Dharmic Weapon.
The old monk continued, "The true strength of a Destiny Dharmic Artifact lies in the fact that it will become stronger as your cultivation increases!"
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's eyes shone brightly as he vaguely realized something.
A look of admiration appeared in the old monk's eyes as he nodded. "If you choose a superior-grade Perfected Lord Dharmic weapon at the beginning, your Destiny Dharmic Weapon will be upgraded to the level of a Dao Being Dharmic weapon after the refinement of your Essence Spirit when you cultivate to the Void Reversion realm. Furthermore, it will be a superior-grade three-patterned one! "
"Indeed!"
Su Zimo nodded and thought to himself, "That's impressive."
This meant that the grade of a Destiny Dharmic Weapon would not change even if it was upgraded!
In other words, if Su Zimo chose a connate Perfected Lord Dharmic weapon as his Destiny Dharmic Weapon, it would transform into a Dao Being Dharmic weapon when he cultivated to the Void Reversion realm.
Its grade would still be connate!
