If we were to evaluate them as a whole, the method for refining weapons in the Dao Scripture is not as good as the method for refining weapons in the Boundless Profound Scripture of the Sea of Realms.
This is because the Boundless Profound Scripture of the Sea of Realms is a cultivation method that leads directly to the Immortal King Realm, and the weapons refined through it are also at the Immortal King level.
The Dao Scripture's method of refining weapons basically only reaches the peak of the Human Dao Realm; it can perhaps refine an artifact into an Immortal Artifact, and that is the limit.
However, this does not mean that the concept of "one artifact breaks ten thousand laws" within the Dao Scripture, or the related techniques for refining weapons, are completely obsolete.
On the contrary, there are many valuable concepts within it.
Because in the current Immortal Ancient Era, refining weapons is not considered a very important direction; it is basically all about brute force.
Basically, people take the most top-tier materials born between Heaven and Earth, and by refining these materials, they already become Immortal Artifacts or even Immortal King Weapons.
In terms of materials and attack power, they are top-tier, but the technique is not very outstanding.
Basically, one kills a True Immortal, then takes the most formidable part of that True Immortal to refine, and one can forge an Immortal Artifact.
One kills an Immortal King, then takes the most formidable part of that Immortal King's Main Body to refine, and one can forge an Immortal King Artifact.
It highlights a sense of primitiveness and a sense of ferocity.
As for technique, there is not much of it.
Later on, as the most top-tier materials between Heaven and Earth became increasingly scarce, techniques reached a peak.
Of course, there is another special point: the Desolate Heaven Emperor created an unprecedented cultivation path—the Seed of the Self.
Later, everyone cultivated according to this path, and the methods for artifact refining became the most compatible with this path.
Zhang Daoyuan has now succeeded in the Seed of the Self and is destined to walk this path.
It is very reasonable to use the most top-tier artifact refining method summarized from this path to refine weapons.
But Zhang Daoyuan did not directly combine it with the artifact refining method from the Boundless Profound Scripture of the Sea of Realms to forge it together.
The method passed down from the Immortal Ancient Era was also handed down by a supreme Immortal Emperor; it was created by the Dark Immortal Emperor.
After being perfected by generation after generation of figures, it is also sufficiently powerful in this regard.
It has a primitive side, and it also has a uniquely formidable side.
The method passed down by the Dark Immortal Emperor focuses more on the unity of Heaven and Earth; it is basically ethereal, utilizing the Heaven and Earth Rules.
The method created by the Desolate Heaven Emperor is the Seed of the Self, independent and self-reliant, relying on oneself.
Both have aspects worth adopting and learning from.
As his thoughts turned, the Root of Myriad Mother Qi in front of Zhang Daoyuan continuously condensed and took shape according to his intentions.
Dao Fire burned fiercely on his body, forging the most top-tier material between Heaven and Earth.
Such a material is rare and scarce even for a True Immortal.
Often, Heavenly Prodigies like him, when refining weapons, only mix a few wisps of the Root of Myriad Mother Qi into the weapon to raise its quality to a high level.
Zhang Daoyuan, however, is forging it directly with this most top-tier material.
The Root of Myriad Mother Qi is extremely heavy; even a single wisp is more profound than a mountain.
Fortunately, Zhang Daoyuan is now a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and his physique and physical body are unimaginably powerful.
He can easily lift this weapon with one hand and refine it.
With his current cultivation, he quickly forged a rough prototype.
However, he did not refine it into a Myriad Mother Qi Tripod like Emperor Ye, but instead refined it into a pagoda.
The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.
With the Root of Myriad Mother Qi hanging down, it is naturally invulnerable to all laws, and others simply cannot attack it.
For Zhang Daoyuan, refining it this way is very much in line with his intentions.
After occasionally forging it into a rough prototype and having the corresponding Dao and logic integrated into it, Zhang Daoyuan did not take any further action.
Instead, he waited for the Root of Myriad Mother Qi to gradually complete its sublimation.
If he were to fully refine it into a weapon, he would have no way to carry out the relevant sublimation once he arrived in this world.
Now that he has only shaped the material and allowed it to accommodate his Dao and logic, it is already enough.
It can still be counted as the Root of Myriad Mother Qi and can continue to sublimate.
If the sublimation were truly completed, given the level of this material which could be forged into an Immortal King Artifact embryo...
Zhang Daoyuan would not have the strength to forge it into shape, and thus would have no way to use it at all.
To truly refine the artifact, he must at least wait until he is a True Immortal.
That is something Zhang Daoyuan cannot tolerate, so the current situation is just right.
He has already forged the weapon's rough prototype; once the metamorphosis is complete, Zhang Daoyuan can directly deposit his Dao and logic into it, and it will immediately become a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.
Even after Zhang Daoyuan ascends to become a True Immortal or a Mortal Immortal, his own weapon can also directly metamorphose into an Immortal Artifact.
Having finished the forging in a hurry, Zhang Daoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this very moment, he also felt that something was slightly wrong, because his body was relatively hot.
It felt like having a fever, and he even felt a little dizzy; the blood inside his body seemed to be boiling.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Daoyuan felt surprised in an instant.
With his cultivation in the Supreme Realm, catching a cold or having a fever is impossible, and it is almost unrealistic for his body to have any abnormalities.
Then, after carefully sensing it, Zhang Daoyuan discovered that his body was truly having problems; some of his blood was being evaporated, and the Origin in the deepest part of his body was being changed.
"This feeling..."
Zhang Daoyuan carefully evaluated it.
This feeling was similar to when he had just obtained the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
The changes in his body were becoming stronger, his Origin was also becoming stronger, and he was becoming more unique.
However, compared to the gentleness of the Heavenly Emperor Life System's transformation, this current transformation was more brutal and fierce.
"Why is it still changing, and the system didn't even give a reward?"
Zhang Daoyuan was very confused.
But after savoring it carefully, an unbelievable thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
Because this change of his was almost exactly the same as the change in the Root of Myriad Mother Qi in front of him; both were being changed by the most fundamental rules of Heaven and Earth.
The Root of Myriad Mother Qi was becoming stronger, and his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was also becoming stronger.
"Ah?"
"Can the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body become even stronger on its original foundation?"
Zhang Daoyuan truly felt shocked.
Because the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body of the Desolate Ancient Era was already powerful enough; after reaching Great Accomplishment, one is at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and the physical body can even be compared to a Great Emperor.
One can challenge a Great Emperor at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Although one would still be defeated after a long duration, it is still the most top-tier physique between Heaven and Earth.
Even for such a physique, the most special figures could reach the realm of Alternative Dao Attainment and compare to a true Great Emperor without falling behind; they could truly go head-to-head.
The representative figures among them are the Mars Sacred Body and Ye Fan.
The Mars Sacred Body was born during the era of the Dark Turmoil; compared to the other nine Sacred Bodies, it can be considered the only one with clear records of passing away peacefully after quelling the turmoil.
Moreover, he passed away while traveling through the Starry Sky, passing away on Mars.
As for other Great Accomplishment Sacred Bodies, their later years basically ended in calamity, being killed by Dark Supremes or the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body while suffering from a curse.
Even the father of the Wushi Great Emperor died from a curse.
But the Mars Sacred Body had no abnormalities; later, when his Divine Thought revived, he could even walk into the interior of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
He was considered a Human Emperor by the Dark Supremes inside the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Not to mention Ye Fan, who, after his Alternative Dao Attainment, even fought a battle against a contemporary peak Great Emperor and won.
He even defeated the Golden Crow Great Emperor.
And such a physique is now actually improving further under this kind of Heaven and Earth.
