Chapter 474: Connate Divine Weapons and Acquired Weapons (2)

The powerful backlash had nearly shattered his body and scattered his consciousness.
Fortunately, Zhou Shu had reached perfection in his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique, and his body was incomparably st.u.r.dy. In addition, he had recently cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, which was how he managed to keep his body from collapsing.
Even so, if not for the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, he wouldn’t have been able to grasp that trace of clarity.
In any case, he had finally survived and gained a lot!
For the first time, Zhou Shu felt that his strength had increased greatly not because of the Legendary Armament Canon.
!!
He even felt that he had almost broken through the first rank of the Martial Dao and into the Earth Immortal realm that Shi Changsheng had mentioned.
But he still couldn’t take this step.
Previously, the Legendary Armament Canon seemed to have changed. What exactly happened?
Zhou Shu recalled that when he had used the power of the Great Wei imperial cauldron to fill the gap, Just as he had vaguely seen the panorama of the barrier between the two worlds, the Legendary Armament Canon had suddenly appeared. Then golden light had shone brightly, causing him to almost lose control.
This had never happened before.
With a thought, the Legendary Armament Canon appeared before him.
The originally colorful Legendary Armament Canon seemed to have turned black and white. It also looked like a phone app from Zhou Shu’s previous life waiting to be installed.
There was also a long strip on the cover of the Legendary Armament Canon, and one end of the strip was bright.
In an instant, Zhou Shu understood that the Legendary Armament Canon was upgrading!
The Legendary Armament Canon can upgrade? A thought flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind. But the Legendary Armament Canon wasn’t an ordinary book. He didn’t know where it came from, but it could give him rewards. Leveling up didn’t seem to be impossible.
Zhou Shu observed for a while. The progress bar was progressing very slowly. It seemed that it would take at least half a month for the Legendary Armament Canon to finish upgrading.
I can’t open the Legendary Armament Canon when it’s upgrading. I wonder if there will be a reward if I complete any kills with the weapons I forged.
As Zhou Shu thought this, he controlled the Legendary Armament Canon to disappear.
The upgrade of the Legendary Armament Canon wasn’t something he could control. It was useless to think too much about it. He was looking forward to it. He didn’t know what the upgraded Legendary Armament Canon would become.
He put the Legendary Armament Canon aside for the time being and recalled his previous glimpse of the barrier between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm.
Although he had only glanced briefly, he had discovered many subtle things.
The two realms are artificially separated. I wonder why they were separated. Zhou Shu pondered.
If it’s to protect the human race, it’s extracting the spiritual qi of heaven and earth of the Ten Nations Continent. If not for that, the Ten Nations Continent might have been able to produce Earth Immortal experts.
But if it’s to rear humans, it does ensure that the Ten Nations are protected from being slaughtered by the Demon Realm.
Zhou Shu’s head hurt from thinking too much, but he couldn’t think of anything.
Forget it. There’s too little information. I can’t think of anything.
This feeling that there was a conspiracy wasn’t something he was good at solving.
But when I caught a glimpse of it, I saw the imperial cauldron.
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin, his eyes shining.
His expertise was forging.
When he activated Great Wei’s imperial cauldron, he was almost one with it.
It was also at the time that he had discovered some secrets of the imperial cauldrons.
Perhaps this secret was nothing special to the owners of the imperial cauldrons like the Qin emperor and Emperor Yuan Feng.
But Zhou Shu was a forger, one of the top forgers in the world!
Besides, he wasn’t born and bred in the Ten Nations. His mind wasn’t restricted at all.
His train of thought was unfettered, and he came up with something from it.
I’ve been trying to forge a weapon that truly has twelve princ.i.p.al meridians and eight extraordinary vessels, but I didn’t expect this path to be wrong in the first place.
When forging weapons on the Ten Nations Continent, ranked weapons were weapons that simulated the meridians of the human body with star paths. The more star paths there were, the more meridians there were in the weapon, and the higher the grade of the weapon.
Forgers of the Ten Nations had always been pursuing a realm, which was to let a weapon have a complete meridian system, which was to have all 12 princ.i.p.al meridians and 8 extraordinary vessels.
But so far, no forger had ever succeeded.
Even the best heaven-grade weapon was still lacking a star path.
Before this, Zhou Shu had also followed this direction.
Not long ago, he had even discussed with Li Chengliang and the other Grand Craftsmen how to increase the strength of the weapon so that it could withstand more star paths.
But now he realized that his thinking was simply wrong!
How could a wrong direction possibly work?
No matter how hard they worked, it was impossible for a weapon to have a complete set of 12 princ.i.p.al meridians and 8 extraordinary vessels!
After a weapon is forged, the star paths will be set, and the meridians will be constructed inside the weapon. This is the weapon grade.
Zhou Shu contemplated. This is actually equivalent to forcefully constructing meridians inside a weapon. In other words, this is an acquired modification of the weapon.
But meridians are inborn. Before people are born, even at the beginning of development, they already have meridians. After a weapon is formed, you can fix the star positions and star paths, but this is done postnatally.
If I want a weapon to have the complete twelve princ.i.p.al meridians and eight extraordinary vessels, I need to set the star paths before the weapon takes shape!
First, there is this nebulous thing before the birth of heaven and earth. This is a true ranked weapon! Or it can also be called a connate divine weapon!
The so-called ranked weapons of the Ten Nations Continent are actually just defective products. They’re acquired weapons.
The so-called heaven, earth, black, and yellow grades are created by humans to confuse others. They’re all defective, so there’s no need to divide them into grades.
The imperial cauldrons and even the Longevity Sword should be connate divine weapons. But the forgers of the Ten Nations Continent don’t seem to know about this.
There used to be a method to forge connate divine weapons in the Ten Nations, but it seems to have been deliberately concealed. The forgers of the Ten Nations didn’t know about this. For thousands of years, they have been struggling to find a way to perfect acquired weapons. If they knew about the existence of connate divine weapons, they wouldn’t have done so.
Zhou Shu gradually came up with an idea.
He was an expert in the art of forging. He was almost certain that what he guessed was right.
Perhaps the name was different, but people had indeed forged connate divine weapons in the past!
But he didn’t know if the forging method of connate divine weapon had been lost because it was too difficult or if people had deliberately hidden it.
No matter what the people before me called them, in my opinion, they’re just connate divine weapons and acquired weapons.
Zhou Shu pondered. Whether it’s lost or hidden, since I know the direction, I can definitely research the forging method of connate divine weapons!
Since there’s no such thing as connate divine weapons or acquired weapons on the Ten Nations, I’ll create this.
The past is the past. The present is my era.
The first connate weapon will be forged by me! I will create an era that belongs to connate weapons. Anyone who tries to stop me will be crushed by me!
With connate weapons, it’s impossible for the Demon Realm to invade the Ten Nations Continent again!
Zhou Shu’s back straightened, and his eyes shone with a tangible light. His fighting spirit was bursting. Even if the forging method of connate divine weapons had been lost, he would create it again.
At the thought of this, he felt full of energy. He didn’t want to waste any more time. With a flash, he soared into the sky and flew in the direction of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.
