"It doesn't have a mind of its own. It's like a puppet!" Jianchen discovered the problem very soon and was immediately surprised. He was greatly shocked. At the same time, he actually sensed an extremely familiar presence from the old man. It was the presence of a sliver of his soul and blood.
"I fused a sliver of my soul and a droplet of blood into the eighteen inscriptions to awaken the slumbering soul within the Saint Weapon. In the end, the soul actually possessed my presence when it was condensed from the Saint Weapon's energy after it was awakened. On the other hand, it didn't possess any presence that belonged to it at all …"
"And not only does the old man not have a soul, he doesn't even have a mind of his own. He seems like a puppet. Did something go wrong when I revived the Saint Weapon? Or are all Saint Weapons like this after they're revived? "
"When I obtained the complete secret technique from Fairy Haoyue, the Fairy Haoyue said that although Class 8 Radiant Saint Masters could revive Saint Weapons, it wouldn't be as perfect as the ones on the Tian Yuan Continent. In other words, the revival of Saint Weapons has some drawbacks. Is this the drawback?"
With that in mind, Jianchen pulled out another Ruler Armament from his Space Ring. He wanted to find out whether the drawback of reviving a Saint Weapon was the inability to retain its master's consciousness. He wanted to find the answer from the second Ruler Armament.
This was because he still held a sliver of hope. It was extremely likely that the reason why the first Ruler Armament had become like this was because of him.
Due to his previous experience, Jianchen was much more familiar with reviving the second Ruler Armament. Very soon, the second Ruler Armament condensed into a burly, middle-aged man under his eager gaze.
However, in the end, Jianchen was disappointed. This was because the burly man he had just revived was the same as the old man. He did not possess his own consciousness. His eyes were empty, without any light at all.
Jianchen gently sighed. He felt rather regretful inside. Although he had accomplished the great feat of reviving Saint Weapons, which had never been done on the Tian Yuan Continent before, the revived Saint Weapons would not have their former consciousness. As a result, the strength they could use would be extremely limited. This was not something he wanted to see.
Although these puppets that had been resurrected by the Saint Weapon would most likely become his personal troops in the future, and there was no need to worry about them betraying him, he would rather have living people who retained their own consciousness than these puppets who would never betray him.
This was because the current Tianyuan Continent was in dire need of power!
Next, Jianchen conducted a deeper research on the two puppets and found out their strengths and weaknesses. However, what made him feel gratified was that although the two puppets didn't have self-awareness, they still retained some of the fighting experience they had when they were alive. Moreover, they didn't feel pain, let alone fear. Once a battle of life and death occurred, this would be their greatest advantage.
"Looks like I can only treat them as human-shaped weapons," Jianchen murmured to himself. His gaze towards the two Saint Weapon puppets was filled with mixed feelings.
Before this, who would have thought that the revived Saint Weapons would end up like this?
Jianchen calmed himself down before immediately taking out the third Saint Weapon to continue the resurrection ritual.
Although the revived Saint Weapons would be puppets, which would be a form of blasphemy and disrespect to their previous masters, the current Tian Yuan Continent was in dire need of this power. As a result, Jianchen could not care less in these special times.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Other than reviving two Ruler Armaments, Jianchen had also revived three King Armaments and an Emperor Armament, so three more Holy Emperor Puppets and a Holy Emperor Puppet appeared in his artifact space. These puppets struggled to retain their strength from when they were alive, so they all lost three or four minor levels of cultivation.
"With my current strength as a Class 8 Radiant Saint Master, reviving Ruler Armaments is nothing difficult, but reviving King Armaments is a little difficult. As for Emperor Armaments, it'll be extremely difficult. I almost failed when I revived the Emperor Armament earlier. With my current progress, who knows when I'll be able to revive all the Saint Weapons in my Space Ring. Perhaps the World of Forsaken Saints will have already invaded the Tian Yuan Continent by then. Looks like I need to reach Class 9. Once I reach Class 9, I'll be able to complete the ritual. Even reviving Emperor Armaments will become much easier," Jianchen thought. He slowly stood up, opened the door, and left.
Jianchen did not take the Saint Weapon puppets with him. Instead, he left them in the secret room. It was not suitable for the outside world to learn of their existence.
Jianchen did not disturb Bi Lian and the others. He silently left Flame City all by himself and returned to the City of God in the Holy Emperor's Empire. He entered the headquarters of the Radiant Saint Master Union and returned to the artifact space to continue cultivating.
Within the artifact space, the president, grand elder, Kwon Youcai, and Kara Livi sat in the four corners of the hall as they cultivated. The Radiant Saint Force origin energy that permeated the hall was absorbed by the four of them at a visible rate.
The rate at which the four of them absorbed Radiant Saint Force origin energy was nowhere near as fast as Jian Chen. As a result, the mist-like Radiant Saint Force origin energy in the hall did not seem to weaken at all after cultivating there for over a dozen days.
However, Kara Livi and Kwon Youcai had been at the peak of Class 6 for many years now. Although they had only cultivated there for over a dozen days this time, Jianchen could tell that the two of them were extremely close to breaking through.
Although the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union had remained at the peak of Class 7 for several hundred years at the very least, he still needed some time to break through even with the Radiant Saint Force origin energy directly absorbed.
Jianchen concealed his presence and silently arrived at the centre of the hall. He arrived before the white sphere completely condensed from the Radiant Saint Force origin energy. He stared at it for a while before sucking in a deep breath. He sat down in the air and gently pressed his hands against the sphere.
Immediately, the origin energy around the sphere began to pulse violently as if it had become extremely uneasy. It began to approach Jianchen's forehead uncontrollably. An invisible whirlpool seemed to emit a suction force from Jianchen's forehead, sucking in all the origin energy. In the end, it formed a white line that connected to Jianchen's forehead from the sphere.
At the same time, even the even purer origin energy within the sphere surged out endlessly. In the end, it was all absorbed by Jianchen like a whale.
