Chapter 153 Update: 3rd Generation Spirit Weapon!
Hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Lin Xiuya said thoughtfully, "Yuhao, do you mean—there's a limit to how much you can enhance your attributes by relying solely on spirit runes?"
"That's right," Huo Yuhao affirmed. "The enhancement effect of attribute enhancement runes has its limits."
He showed his empty hands, "You see, I rarely use magical artifacts."
Within the realm of consciousness, the Guardian Mirror covered its mouth, forcibly suppressing its laughter: "Pfft! Rarely used?! Kid Huo, have some shame! Didn't you always treat them like disposable throwing knives?"
The Ice Flame Phoenix beside him nodded in deep agreement. Having followed Huo Yuhao longer, it had witnessed more of Huo Yuhao's "wasteful" behavior.
Outside, Huo Yuhao seemed oblivious to the complaints in his mental world, and continued speaking to Yan Hao and the others: "I recently researched fifth- and sixth-grade attribute-enhancing spirit runes. But regarding my own strength—"
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly: "Even a sixth-grade enhanced spirit rune can only provide a negligible boost."
This is true. With Huo Yuhao's current ice attribute strength, he can easily suppress a strange fire of the level of the Sea Heart Flame. Ordinary enhancement methods will not have much effect.
Huo Yuhao explained while quickly sifting through the materials in front of him. He was discussing how to handle these materials that lacked spiritual energy...
"Dead objects" that are difficult to communicate with directly are forged into spiritual weapons that can enhance the user's combat power.
The Guardian Mirror had no idea how the weapon refiners of the vast world handled such materials.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao needs to explore these things on his own.
As time went by, while explaining to Lin Xiuya and the others, countless thoughts collided and deduced in Huo Yuhao's mind, and a bold idea gradually took shape.
Within his mental world, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke, his gaze profound: "Special trait—this is a term my teacher once explained."
He recalled the knowledge that Yao Chen emphasized when he was teaching him and Xiao Yan and analyzing the mysteries of the cultivation techniques.
Huo Yuhao picked up a simulated, lifeless, dark golden ore next to the mental model: "Special characteristics—combined with the way battle qi circulates—it's as if a spiritual weapon can also cultivate techniques!"
Huo Yuhao made a joke, but a brilliant light shone in his eyes, as if he had seen through something: "Perhaps—a spiritual artifact, like a cultivator circulating their cultivation technique, can integrate its unique qualities into the user's battle qi?"
With the method decided, Huo Yuhao said no more. For his first attempt, he chose "sinking stone".
He picked up a dull, unremarkable piece of ore. Sinking Stone was a relatively common mineral on the Dou Qi Continent. It possessed an incredible weight and was extremely tough. It was often used in construction.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao took out a piece of earth crystal that emitted an earthy yellow luster. This was a material that had been used to forge a spiritual weapon for Yan Hao.
Nine-Fold Ice Flame rose in his palm, and Huo Yuhao's movements became incredibly focused. He didn't directly melt the sinking stone, but instead used the earth crystal as the core, inscribing spirit patterns on it.
He then activated the flames to slightly melt the sunken stone, allowing it to merge with the earth crystals and form a spiritual artifact embryo.
Before the two materials were fully fused, Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity, concentrated his mental energy, and let his fighting spirit surge wildly at his fingertips, constructing fine and tough "fighting crystal veins" inside the sinking stone!
These veins extend deep into the stone itself, forming a cyclical pattern, while at the other end they merge into the spiritual patterns of the earth crystal.
As the gray light shifted, a giant gray ruler, with an ancient and simple design resembling the Xuanzhong Ruler, slowly took shape in the flames! The ruler did not have a gorgeous luster, but only an extremely restrained sense of weight.
Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with barely suppressed joy: "Just as I expected! By utilizing the crystal veins integrated into the sinking stone, the energy injected into it perfectly acquired the characteristic of weight!"
He flicked his finger, and a wisp of pure battle energy flowed into the handle!
Buzz!
The giant gray ruler trembled violently! A visible, hazy gray wave instantly spread out! The ground groaned under the weight, and the ground within a radius of several feet centered on the giant ruler began to sink slightly!
The spirit runes also lit up at the same time! Accompanied by the activation of three fifth-grade spirit runes: solid, energy gathering, and earth attribute enhancement.
An astonishing scene unfolded!
The giant gray ruler had broken free from Huo Yuhao's control and was now floating in mid-air on its own! The ruler trembled slightly, breathing in and out of the world's energy as if it were a living thing!
With each inhale, a vast amount of earth-elemental energy surges into the body like rivers flowing into the sea; with each exhale, a heavy will spreads out, like an invisible gravitational field, making the surrounding air thicker!
This will, with the influx and expulsion of energy, was slowly but steadily growing stronger!
The sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror seemed frozen, and even its light stopped flickering.
It "looked" at the gigantic gray ruler outside, which floated autonomously, swallowed the heavens and earth, and whose aura was constantly increasing. Its core consciousness seemed to be shocked like never before, and it muttered blankly to itself: "A treasure of the vast world, absolutely—"
"That's definitely not the method you use!"
Huo Yuhao's gaze was equally filled with amazement. He stared at the ruler, which seemed to have come to life, and murmured in admiration, "A spiritual artifact! A spiritual artifact! It has a spirit!" That's what a true spiritual artifact is!
"This is absolutely not a spiritual artifact!" The Mirror of Guardians' voice suddenly rose, filled with a frantic rage of a collapsing worldview: "In fact, you could say that none of the treasures in the entire world, whether divine artifacts or sacred objects, are like this!"
Huo Yuhao slowly said, "I once had a master who said that all the skills created by cultivators, in essence, are imitations and interpretations of 'cultivation' itself."
He pointed to the giant ruler outside, which seemed to be absorbing energy: "So, since spiritual artifacts can absorb the energy of heaven and earth, why can't they cultivate like cultivators? With crystal veins as meridians, the materials themselves providing special properties, and the core spirituality capable of condensing the spirit—isn't this a kind of cultivator?"
Huo Yuhao's thoughts wandered: If spiritual artifacts can do this, what about elixirs? I'll ask my teacher when I get back!
Coming to his senses, Huo Yuhao saw that the Guardian Mirror was still flickering violently, looking like it was overloaded, and asked with amusement, "Can't you also manipulate the energy of heaven and earth? What's so surprising?"
"Me?!" The Guardian Mirror seemed to have been stepped on, the sphere of light leaping up and letting out a furious shriek: "What level am I? I'm a sacred artifact! A sacred artifact that even Earthly Sovereigns can only dream of! What is this broken ruler of yours?! Even if it cultivates autonomously for another hundred or a thousand years! It still won't even touch the threshold of a quasi-divine artifact!"
Seeing the Mirror of Protection in such a rare, almost vulnerable state, Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a mischievous glint as he tentatively asked, "Mirror, why are you reacting so strongly—could it be that you can't improve through cultivation like this ruler?"
"You're talking nonsense!!!" The Guardian Mirror roared as if it had been hit where it hurt, and rolled to a corner of the mental world, looking like it was "refusing to communicate".
