614: The twelve levels of Taoist weapons

Gu Qing sat to the side, gently fanning himself with a folding fan, eyes closed as if dozing.

"Godfather, are Immortal Emperor artifacts called Dao artifacts?" Gu Qing asked Youmeng in his mind.

"That's right. Immortal Emperor artifacts are just what they're called in the Eternal Universe, and only after the rise of the Immortal Dao. Before that, they were all called Dao artifacts."

"Immortal Emperors are Transcendent, forming their own Dao, so the magical treasures they use are naturally called Dao artifacts."

Youmeng paused, then continued, "The Origin Continent has perfected rules, abundant primordial qi, countless opportunities, and all living beings cultivate the Great Dao of Primordial Saints, proving their Dao through laws."

"And the Immortal Dao is only cultivated in the Great Universes that are attached to the Origin Continent."

"Which is to say, the mainstream system of the Origin Continent is the Primordial Divine Dao; everything else is considered a side path or unorthodox."

Hearing this, Gu Qing suddenly understood: "No wonder after entering the Origin Continent, all the cultivators I've seen are Divine Kings and Divine Emperors."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing continued to ask, "Then do Dao artifacts also have twelve grades?"

"Precisely. From low to high, grades one to twelve. The same goes for divine metal."

"The divine metal you just acquired are all third-grade divine metal, capable of forging third-grade Dao artifacts," Youmeng said.

"Then what grades are innate treasure and Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

He had never heard of innate treasure being divided into grades, but that was in the Eternal Universe.

In the Origin Continent, there should also be levels.

"Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure are sixth-grade, but they can be refined into seventh, eighth, or ninth-grade. If divine metal of tenth-grade or higher is added, there's a chance to refine them into acquired Heavenly Dao artifacts."

"innate treasure belong to the Primordial Heavenly Dao level of artifacts, ranging from tenth to twelfth-grade."

"However, every innate treasure, even if it's tenth-grade, can be refined through acquired methods to reach twelfth-grade."

"So innate treasure generally aren't divided into grades; it mainly depends on what Realm cultivator is using them," Youmeng said.

"Dao artifacts are divided into primordial and acquired, each with its own strengths and unique uses."

"Primordial artifacts possess the fundamental laws of the Great Dao and primordial undying spiritual light, which can help cultivators comprehend the Great Dao. If damaged, primordial artifacts can also self-repair by devouring spiritual qi."

"Acquired artifacts, on the other hand, lack primordial undying spiritual light, but because they are personally forged, they are perfectly aligned with one's own Great Dao and can unleash their full power."

"Moreover, they can be forged with various divine metal, inscribed with unparalleled killing formations and divine patterns, making their power peerless."

"Many primordial artifacts are not as formidable in combat as acquired artifacts."

"After all, many primordial artifacts do not focus on combat, but rather on support, defense, and so on."

"Oh!" Gu Qing responded, then continued to ask, "Then why are cultivators of the seventh realm called Saints?"

When Fu Qi introduced them earlier, he specifically added the word "Saint."

"Because that is indeed a realm of transcending the mundane and entering sainthood, hence they are called Saints."

"Just like your Saint Realm back in the Archaic Starfield, where your divine sense transcended the mundane and became saintly, capable of surveying heaven and earth with a single thought. However, that was only a Saint of a small plane, without the power to create heaven and earth or manipulate creation."

"The Saints of the Origin Continent, however, are true Saints, capable of manipulating creation, creating objects from the void, opening up boundless Great Universes, and creating sentient beings."

"As for the Heavenly Dao Realm, they are called Celestials, acting on behalf of the heavens. My will is the will of heaven, and my Dao is the Heavenly Dao."

"I understand!" After Youmeng's explanation, Gu Qing finally knew how long a road he still had to travel.

He wondered what the Heavenly Dao Realm was like, and what divine power it possessed... Gu Qing couldn't help but yearn for it.

"Yu Qing Dao Friend, meeting is fate, come quickly and drink wine and eat meat with us." Wu Bu Jie the monk's smile was hearty, but paired with his ugly face, it appeared extremely fierce and sinister.

"Thank you for the invitation, but I don't drink alcohol." Gu Qing opened his eyes, glanced at the dining table, and a flicker of resistance passed through him.

The wine was good wine, brewed with the bones of Transcendent-level divine beasts and primordial spiritual herbs.

The meat was good meat, cooked from a second-tier Divine Emperor divine beast, fragrant and suffused with the light of laws.

Eating it would be of great use even to Divine Emperors, though useless to Saints, at most satisfying an empty stomach.

However, the two of them were eating with their hands, and the table was a mess, which was quite unappetizing to look at.

Besides, Gu Qing originally didn't want to drink.

"What? Aren't you a cultured gentleman? How can a gentleman not drink?" Wu Bu Jie the monk's eyes widened, glaring angrily.

With his appearance, those with insufficient courage would surely be scared stiff.

"There's also no monk who drinks wine and eats meat, is there?" Gu Qing replied coldly.

"Stinky monk, stop acting drunk. Yu Qing Dao Friend clearly dislikes you, do you have to make him say it out loud?"

"Am I right, Little Brother Yu Qing?"

Qiu Yu scolded Wu Bu Jie the monk, then turned her enchanting gaze to Gu Qing, her eyes like silk.

"Hahaha!"

"Madam Qiu, you exaggerate."

"Yu Qing Dao Friend is learned and talented, a jade bamboo scion. One can tell at a glance he comes from an extraordinary background. It's perfectly normal for him not to fit in with roughnecks like us," Fu Yong said, laughing as he smoothed things over.

"At least you know yourself," Qiu Yu shot him a charming glance, full of allure.

"Put everything away, let's discuss the Dao together," Fu Qi said.

"..."

"Heh, there's no need to discuss the Dao." Gu Qing sneered, then looked at Fu Qi and asked, "How much longer until we reach our destination?"

"Three months."

"Give me the coordinates, I'll control the flying boat."

"Here." Fu Qi didn't waste words, extending his hand and sending out a stream of light.

Gu Qing took the coordinates, entered the flying boat's control room, and flew at maximum speed.

At the same time, he activated his Dao Pupil to scan the boundless heaven and earth, searching for treasures.

After all, he now had immense luck gathered upon him; even a mosquito's leg was still meat, and it would be a pity not to use this opportunity to find treasures.

"..."

"It seems he's unyielding."

The four's expressions slightly darkened; their attempts to probe Gu Qing's background had completely failed.

"However, for him to be so arrogant due to his talent, his strength must be extraordinary," Fu Qi said meaningfully, a murderous intent clear in his eyes.

He absolutely would not allow any unforeseen circumstances to disrupt his plan.

"Once we've used him, we'll act immediately," Wu Bu Jie the monk said coldly.

Every second Gu Qing remained, there was one more variable.

"Alright."

"Qiu Yu, what do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

Although Qiu Yu wanted to take Gu Qing as a male consort, circumstances clearly didn't allow it... sheep flock together, while fierce beasts walk alone.

Gu Qing didn't care what these people thought.

His Dao Pupil scanned the boundless void, the vast and endless Immeasurable Continent.

After three months, Gu Qing had found two low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, dozens of pieces of divine metal for forging Dao artifacts, and several Dao Fruit tree immortal medicines along the way.

It could be said he had a full harvest.

"Dao Friend truly has good fortune," Fu Qi's eyes were full of envy, and in his heart, he was even more envious and jealous.

They had all witnessed Gu Qing's actions over the past three months.

Gu Qing's divine pupil was definitely more heaven-defying than he had imagined.

If he had such a heaven-defying Dao Pupil, his achievements would definitely not be limited to this.

But luckily, Gu Qing's divine pupil would soon be his.

He would make the divine pupil famous throughout the Origin Continent, shaking the past and present.

"Fu Yong, I want his eyes," Wu Bu Jie the monk's eyes flickered, and he secretly transmitted his voice.

By himself, he couldn't possibly snatch Gu Qing's eyes, but with Fu Yong's help, there might be a sliver of a chance.

"No, one for each of us," Fu Yong refused without hesitation.

He was quite knowledgeable, having seen countless divine pupils, and even possessed a pair himself.

He deeply understood the wondrous uses of divine pupils.

Gu Qing's divine pupil could be called the Eye of the Great Dao; it could not only see through illusions but also observe the rules of heaven and earth, enhancing comprehension, with infinite wondrous uses.

And since Gu Qing had such a heaven-defying divine pupil, Gu Qing's origin could only be stronger, not weaker.

Perhaps it had already reached the level of a Heavenly Dao treasure.

Fu Yong now looked at Gu Qing as if he were looking at a treasure of the Great Dao.

"Little Brother Yu Qing."

Qiu Yu rose, her lotus-embroidered bustier trembling, the domineering allure of a mature woman striking directly at the heart.

She walked gracefully towards Gu Qing, her immortal bearing elegant and lithe, gazing at Gu Qing with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to hold endless tenderness.

"There are countless killing formations in the secret realm, and it's extremely dangerous. Little Brother Yu Qing must stick close to big sister; with big sister here, I will never let little brother suffer even a bit of harm."

The implication was that if Gu Qing was willing to cooperate with her, she was willing to advance and retreat with him.

Earlier, she cooperated with Fu Qi and the others for profit, but now for greater profit, she could naturally abandon Fu Qi.
