The Shaoyang Sword's bright golden sword gleam was like a pillar that held up the sky, forcefully withstanding the suppression of Lin Feng's Heaven Bearing Seal.
And the Lunar Sword turned into clouds of mist, twining around the golden sword aura, continuously stimulating the golden sword aura and assisting it wholeheartedly, causing the Shao Yang Sword's sword aura to become stronger and stronger, attempting to break through Lin Feng's mana seal.
Lin Feng looked at this scene with interest, and then increased the pressure on the Heaven Bearing Seal a bit more.
At the same time, the power of the All Heavens Capture was added, suppressing the Shaoyang Sword and the Taiyin Sword.
Feeling the increasing pressure, the two swords changed their way of fighting. The golden sword gleam suddenly disappeared, completely merging into the clouds.
Changing from the previous Lesser Yang as the main and Lunar as the support mode to the Lunar Sword acting as the main force to deal with Lin Feng's mana, while the Lesser Yang Sword is hidden in the mist formed by the Lunar Sword, continuously using its own sword energy spirit energy to support it.
The two swords no longer fought head-on, instead using the Taiyin Sword's ever-changing sword intent to deal with Lin Feng, hoping to use softness to overcome hardness.
"Yes, both swords are Transformation grade Dharma treasures, and they have reached the peak of Transformation, only one step away from the Mahayana realm." Lin Feng had a plan, "The remaining four Six Meridian Immortal Swords of Mount Shu should be of the same level."
Just like how cultivators cultivated and improved their realm, Dharma treasures also had their own realms.
Dharma treasures had four realms, from low to high, namely Spirit Bearing, Transformation, Mahayana, and Creation.
The first realm was called Spirit Bearing, which meant nurturing a Primordial Spirit, giving birth to a Dharma treasure's Primordial Spirit. Its consciousness would constantly grow, from a simple, chaotic thought to a complete independent thought and self-awareness.
Furthermore, the Primordial Spirit could absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, constantly increasing its magic power, just like a human cultivating.
However, Spirit Bearing grade Dharma treasures could not form their own spiritual body, their consciousness completely dependent on the body of the Dharma treasure. Cultivation required the master's help, which would allow the treasure's power to grow rapidly. Self-cultivation would be very slow.
If the magic treasure were to advance to the second stage of the Incarnation Realm, then the situation would be different. The magic treasure's Original Spirit would condense its own form and could temporarily leave the magic treasure's body. In this way, the magic treasure's Original Spirit could cultivate normally without the need of the master's sacrificial refining, and its strength could also increase rapidly.
Generally speaking, the power of a magic treasure depended on the cultivation of the refiner. Spirit-nurturing grade was equivalent to the refiner's first-tier Primordial Spirit Incarnation stage strength, while transformation-grade was equivalent to the second-tier Primordial Spirit Reversion stage. Mahayana-grade magic treasures were equivalent to the third-tier Primordial Spirit Convergence stage.
However, there was a problem, and that was that Spirit Nurturing grade and Transformation grade treasures could not unleash their full power on their own. They had to be controlled by a Primordial Spirit powerhouse of the same level in order to unleash 100% of their power.
In the battle before the opening ceremony of the Sand Continent City, Pang Jie had wielded the Hexagonal Sword of the Taixu Temple. Because Pang Jie had not attained the Nascent Divinity, the Hexagonal Sword had not been able to display its full power during the battle.
Although it was far more powerful than ordinary Yuanying grade magic treasures, it was not the power that a magic treasure should have.
If it had been in the hands of Yan Mingyue, who had attained the Primordial Spirit stage back then, the power of the Hexagonal Sword would have been equivalent to that of a first-tier Primordial Spirit stage powerhouse.
By the same logic, during the battle of Kunlun Mountain, the Yu family's patriarch, Lord Xuanming Yu Xintao, had wielded the Xuanming Treasure Book, the Yu family heirloom, to fight against Lin Feng.
The Xuanming Treasure Book was a transformation-grade magic treasure, but because Yu Xintao was only at the first-tier Primordial Spirit Incarnation stage and had yet to attain the Void Reversion stage, the power that the Xuanming Treasure Book could unleash was only at the Spirit-nurturing grade.
During the Desolate Sea Assembly, the Great Qin Dynasty's Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue, had wielded the Transformation-Grade magic treasure, the Hidden Dragon Kettle, with his second-tier Primordial Spirit Reversion stage cultivation.
At the moment, the Shaoyang and Taiyin swords that Lin Feng was wielding were both transformation-grade magic treasures. Moreover, they were both at the peak of the transformation-grade. They were only a step away from reaching the next level.
However, such a short distance was like the distance between heaven and earth. If no one wielded them, they would not be able to unleash their full power.
Magic treasures needed to advance to the third-tier realm, the Mahayana-grade. Only then would the Primordial Spirit be fully developed. It would then be able to separate from the body and control the body independently. It would be able to unleash its full power independently and do as it pleased.
The combat power of a Mahayana-grade magic treasure was completely equivalent to that of a third-tier Primordial Spirit Incarnation stage almighty expert.
At this stage, the magic treasure's Primordial Spirit could even choose to transcend the tribulation and reincarnate as a real living being. It would be born and grow, becoming a truly independent, brand-new life in the Vast Thousand Domains.
The Primordial Spirit transcended the tribulation and reincarnated, severing the connection between it and the original owner of the sacrificial vessel. However, the Primordial Spirit that transcended the tribulation and reincarnated would also completely sever the connection between it and the body of the magic treasure, forever losing the chance to become a creation treasure.
After reincarnation, everything was unknown. Although it was much easier to cultivate the Primordial Spirit of a magic treasure compared to ordinary living beings, it was completely unknown whether it could become a Primordial Spirit and ascend to the realm of carefree immortality. Therefore, generally speaking, the Primordial Spirit of a magic treasure would not take the initiative to reincarnate.
A magic treasure that had lost its Origin Spirit had a certain chance of giving birth to a new Origin Spirit. It wasn't a replication. The relationship between a new magic treasure's Origin Spirit and the original Origin Spirit was similar to that of a child and a parent.
As for the fourth realm of magic treasures, which was also the highest realm, the Creation realm, it was much more mysterious. In the entire history of the Heaven Primal World, only a few Creation treasures had appeared.
When a Dharma treasure advanced to the Creation realm, its Origin Spirit would lose its previous form. Instead, it would gradually transform into an existence that resembled the will of the Creation realm and would not appear often.
Regarding the Treasure of Creation, the Buddhist Great Leiyin Temple had proposed a concept in the past. It was known as the Nirvana Talisman, implying that the sea of bitterness was boundless. With the Nirvana Talisman, people could cross the sea of bitterness and reach the shore.
Between life and death, there was great terror. Without becoming a primordial spirit, one's lifespan was limited. There would come a day when one would reach the end.
When humans achieved the Primordial Soul realm and demons cultivated the Immortal Demon Soul, they could live as long as the heavens and earth. Naturally, their lifespans were almost infinite. As long as the heavens and earth were not destroyed, they would not die.
But what if this part of the world, this part of the Vast Thousand Worlds, was completely destroyed?
For a primordial spirit powerhouse, other than being killed by external forces, the only natural way to die was to follow the world to the Nirvana.
The Nirvana of Heaven and Earth was a greater terror than life and death. Those who lived as long as the heavens and earth would naturally reach the end of their lifespans as well. When the nest was overturned, there would be no eggs left intact.
Birth, old age, sickness, death, success, failure, and emptiness. Creation was a cycle between birth and death. A place of creation would open up, develop, and eventually decline until it was destroyed, returning to nothingness. Then, it would be reborn from nothingness.
And according to legend, the Treasure of Creation was a supreme treasure that had the hope of resisting the Nirvana of Heaven and Earth. It helped people traverse countless eras and break through the Nirvana of Heaven and Earth to walk towards a new life.
However, the Treasure of Creation rarely appeared in the world. In the Great Heaven Primordial World, it had gradually become a legendary existence.
It was extremely difficult for an Artifact to become a Treasure of Creation. In the history of the Great Heaven Primordial World, the Treasures of Creation that were recorded in the history of the Great Heaven Primordial World all required a certain amount of luck in order to cross the threshold that was like a natural chasm.
This natural chasm was not only difficult to refine, but also almost insurmountable in terms of power.
However, among the three grades of Spirit Conception, Transformation, and Mahayana, there were existences that were inferior to the superior ones.
Between different Artifacts, there were also differences in strength. There were many factors that determined which was superior, such as the level of the refiner's cultivation, the quality of the Daoist techniques that the refiner cultivated, the quality of the materials and refinement conditions, and so on. Apart from these conditions, there was also the factor of luck.
Some Artifacts, although only at the Spirit Conception level, could be stronger than Transformation level Artifacts, and could even challenge Mahayana Artifacts.
This was similar to how some cultivators could fight above their level because of their powerful Dharmic powers, or because of their extraordinary talent.
For example, Lin Feng's enlightened Artifact, the Bell of Creation, had now refined the first manifestation, known as the Life Creation Gate. At this moment, it was a Spirit Conception level Artifact and had just developed a spiritual consciousness. However, it was still like a baby and needed to continue nurturing and growing.
However, although it was only at the Spirit Conception level, Lin Feng already had a rough estimate of the power of the Life Creation Gate. It was far superior to ordinary Spirit Conception Artifacts.
And the two swords of Shaoyang and Taiyin that Lin Feng was currently messing around with were also the cream of the crop among the magic treasures of the Incarnation level. Furthermore, they had both reached the peak of the Incarnation level and were only one step away from the Mahayana realm.
As swords, they were sharp and powerful. If they were controlled by a second or third tier Essence Soul realm expert and unleashed their full power, they could even fight against a Mahayana Artifact.
However, due to the inherent weakness of Transformation level Artifacts, they could not unleash their full power. It was effortless for Lin Feng to suppress them.
Facing the Shaoyang and Taiyin swords that were trying to escape, Lin Feng smiled slightly. Surging Dharmic powers rushed into the Small World of Heavens and directly turned into two purple hands.
One hand grabbed the cloud mist that the Taiyin Sword had transformed into, while the other hand slapped. A golden light was shaken out of the cloud mist. It was the Shaoyang Sword.
The Shaoyang Sword turned back into a giant sword that was ten feet long and had no edge. Under the suppression of Lin Feng's Dharmic powers, the Taiyin Sword also turned back into its original form.
The two swords were grabbed by Lin Feng. The huge power made them tremble continuously, but they could not escape.
"Ten thousand years of hard work will be wasted in a day. I don't want that. You two should respect yourselves." Lin Feng said lightly, "I don't covet the two of you to work for me, Xuanmen Tianzong. However, if you want to cause trouble, I don't mind shattering your Primordial Spirits."
The Taiyin Sword was the first to calm down. A cold thought came from the blade. "Alright, I'll wait to see you perish under my Shushan Sword."
On the other hand, the Shaoyang Sword refused to give in even though its attitude was more peaceful at the beginning. It persisted in resisting.
The Taiyin Sword sent a message to him. "If you perish here, the Shaoyang Sword lineage will be greatly weakened. My Shushan Six Meridians Heavenly Immortal Sword Formation will also collapse. Keep yourself alive. When he comes to Shushan to seek revenge from the Xuanmen Sect's master, we can cooperate with him from the inside."
