"So Magic Artifacts may be similar, but Spiritual Artifacts are difficult to be identical, even if they are from the same Spiritual Method lineage, because the Refiner’s needs and subsequent skill enhancements will introduce variables."

"Even with such marvel, its efficacy is not as strong as the Dragon Storing Bottle—but if you don’t compare it to exceptionally high-standard Magic Artifacts like the Dragon Storing Bottle, do you think other Magic Artifacts using just three prohibitions can match the effect of a Spiritual Artifact?"

An Jing slightly shook his head, this was clearly impossible.

The difference between Spiritual Artifacts and Magic Artifacts lies therein—both have three prohibitions, but a Magic Artifact is just a common Magic Artifact, while a Spiritual Artifact can already utilize Divine Skills and has an additional three complex Skills effects.

Simply put, the prohibition of Skills on a Magic Artifact is additive, while the prohibition of Spiritual Methods on a Spiritual Artifact is already combinatorial.

Of course, if the addition is large enough, it can surpass the simple combinatorial Skills—but the latter surpassing the former’s limit is just too simple.

"As for magic treasures, they no longer belong in the ’Spiritual Method’ realm... they must step into the realm of ’Dao’."

Finally, Subdue Evil concluded, "For instance, this Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus is an embryonic form of a magic treasure, possessing a strand of Golden Elemental Dao Rhyme. Whether it’s Metallic Skills or Spiritual Methods, they can be freely enhanced, and there’s no limit to the number of times it can be refined. As long as you are willing to spend time and have sufficient strength, you can refine it to the ultimate."

"The Earth Vein Divine Weapons of the Embracing the Void realm all possess the characteristics of magic treasures and can be continuously refined by the Earth Vein and Dragon Qi, thus becoming increasingly powerful. In the path of artifact cultivation, it opens up a new Dao—a truly remarkable feat."

"Spiritual Treasures, are the honored positions of heaven and earth, governing one Dao, shaped by heavenly business, descending into the world as artifacts... Simply put, they are like this Immortal Sword I have, inherently possessing True Spirit Wisdom and an Immortal and Indestructible Dao Rhyme."

"I haven’t seen the Daoist Soldiers of Embracing the Void, but they should also belong to the realm of Spiritual Treasures—this is too far-fetched. The formation of Spiritual Treasures requires the help of heaven and earth, nurturing supreme Spiritual Materials, and the intervention of Divine Craftsmen from the Immortal Heavenly Court, merging the power of numerous Immortal Gods in a proper smelting and forging process. This isn’t an area that individual skills can reach; it’s a combined effort of heaven and earth, using human hands to descend into the world."

An Jing listened quietly, and to his ears, although Subdue Evil seemed to be merely outlining the four tiers of Magic and Spiritual Artifacts, he was actually explaining the four major stages of cultivation to him.

"Techniques, Spiritual Methods, Entering Dao, Achieving Dao..."

He thought in his heart, "Whether it is cultivation or the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, there inherently lie these four steps."

"Some people learn higher Dharma Gates but can only throw out Techniques one after another, without any coordination among Skills. Such individuals, even if they have higher realms, will easily be defeated in Magical Combat by cultivators who have lower power but can systematically use their various capabilities."

"Like that grandson of the Dragon Martial General, what’s his name? Anyway, his strength seems good, and he controls his power quite delicately, with a strong foundation. But in combat, he couldn’t perform to his theoretical level and was easily defeated by me."

"Now when I fight, I coordinate all my abilities, enhance weapons with Coalescing Qi into Soldiers, ignite it with Five Soldiers True Thunder, and at the same time, Dissolving Troops into Spirit to reclaim the Spirit Mechanism, enhancing myself—this is the simplest Spiritual Method cycle."

"Similarly, the strong physical qualities of Taibai Luminous Godly Ban are the universal coordination used in Body Refinement, and Grasping Heavenly Moment even more so, it can match with any Technique, elevating it to the Divine Abnormality of Spiritual Methods."

"So it turns out, fundamentally, it’s about the Technique Law Path, and the difference between a ’Great Dao Instrument.’ The path of artifact cultivation, like that of Formation Cultivation, is equally profound and complements cultivation."

"Only I wonder, when my combat skills will reach the stage of ’Entering Dao’."

"What have you understood now?"

Subdue Evil sharply noticed that An Jing’s movements in his hands were even more precise, and his already refined and pure aura became further stabilized and dense, suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed: "You haven’t realized some other principle, have you?"

"Indeed, I have gained some insights."

An Jing didn’t hide it and shared his realizations with Subdue Evil, who after being stunned for a moment, sighed: "You have comprehended everything I was about to say on your own, there’s nothing left for me to teach you in this regard—let’s not talk anymore, let’s focus on Artifact Refining!"

"It’s almost completely refined."

While listening to Subdue Evil expounding on the Dao, An Jing had already split a thread of his mind to refine the three types of Spiritual Material from heaven, earth, and man, then began to merge the molten essence formed from the three types of Spiritual Material into threads emitting ’purple,’ ’gold,’ and ’white’ colors, and just like an insect spewing silk to form a cocoon, he constructed these threads into a highly balanced and complex way into a bottle.

This was the Dragon Storing Bottle—imbued with the meaning of breaking out of the cocoon and ascending as a dragon, an Artifact.

An Jing, relying on his understanding of the Demon Core, not only successfully made the Dragon Storing Bottle but also faintly peered into the true intent behind this Artifact.

Insects spin silk to form cocoons, the original body turns into a meaty broth, and finally, it breaks out of the cocoon as a butterfly; Demon Spirits condense thousands of Qi into the Demon Core, the original body’s Spiritual Fiend transforms into the primordial Spirit Mechanism of heaven and earth, ultimately condensing the body of a True Spirit as a dragon.

The so-called Dragon Storing Bottle is indeed a prelude to the future Divine Skill ’True Dragon Cocoon.’"

"It likely also has versions as Spiritual Artifacts and even magic treasures, but that complexity is indeed too high. In the later stages, it’s not just three types of Spiritual Material spun into silk, but also using the foundation of the Small World Formation Realm within the body as silk, and the three different true meanings of heaven, earth, and man as silk."

"True Spirit Nine Transformations, Heavenly Dragon Nine Moltings, this is the path of Demon Spirits from worms and snakes to sea cucumbers, condensing True Spirit Blood!"
