Chapter 1015 1015 - Enlightenment

Martial Artists would experience life-changing transformations after forming a core. That was the first time they would break free from the restraints of Heaven and Earth and they would not only be able to soar through the skies, their lifespans would even extend to 500 years.

The core formation could be considered as a rift in the path of martial art.

The difference between Martial Master and Martial Grandmaster realm was another great rift.

That was because one would break free from the restraints of Heaven and Earth once more at Martial Grandmaster realm by training their Essence Spirits and extending their lifespans to 1,000 years!

With an Essence Spirit, Martial Artists were able to channel Divine powers for their own use.

At the same time, it meant that Martial Artists would require new Divine arts, weapons and even some secret skills to refine their spirits.

Simply put, the intermediate ancient battlefield was where many paragons of the Martial Master would prepare themselves for what they require after ascending to Martial Grandmaster realm!

The old monk said, "There were even heaven-grade Divine arts and martial art techniques that appeared in the rewards of previous Phenomenon Rankings!"

When he heard that, Aiden's heart skipped a beat and he was secretly speechless.

After advancing to Martial Grandmaster realm, one would enter a new world and reach a new level.

Divine powers were the powers of the universe.

Divine arts and martial art techniques were differentiated by grades.

The four grades in the martial art world for Divine arts and martial art worlds were heaven, earth, dark and light.

Naturally, the most frightening techniques that could release the strongest Divine powers were heaven-grade Divine arts!

Thereafter, the power level was reduced per grade.

Light-grade Divine arts had the weakest Divine powers.

Of course, there were also stronger and weaker light-grade Divine arts.

Furthermore, in the martial art world, most of the commonly seen light-grade Divine arts and martial art techniques could be found in various major sects and factions.

Dark-grade Divine arts and martial art techniques were most likely only possessed by aristocratic families and true gentry clans.

Earth-grade Divine arts and martial art techniques were only possessed by major super sects of the world.

However, heaven-grade Divine arts and martial art techniques..

Were things that could only be hoped for.

In the ancient era where paragons dominated and multiple emperors rose, there were many heaven-grade Divine arts and martial art techniques that were created. However, few were passed down till now.

Furthermore, many of them that were passed down were incomplete by now.

That was the reason why all the paragons of the world looked forward to the intermediate ancient battlefield.

The Daring Divine Seal that Aiden trained was originally an earth-grade Divine art.

However, with the loss of the Nigal Prayer Beads such that there were only four Divine Seals remaining, Daring Divine Seal could only be considered as a dark-grade Divine art.

Strictly speaking, the Fiend Suppression, Demon Subduing, Immortal Trap and Immovable Foundation Seals could only be considered as dark-grade Divine arts.

When released in tandem with Daring Mantra, it was only a superior dark-grade Divine art.

Within the Daring Divine Seal, only the lost Great Sacred Wheel and Great Mount Iron Seals were true blue earth-grade Divine arts!

However, the strange thing was that Daring True Prayer was clearly listed as a heaven-grade Divine art in the ancient books of Daring Monastery!

Even if he managed to recover the two lost Divine Seals, Daring Divine Seal was only an earth-grade Divine art.

However, it could actually turn into a heaven-grade Divine art after it was combined with the sound secret skill, Daring Mantra, to form Daring True Prayer?

That was something that Aiden could not figure out.

Of course, Martial Grandmasters would not be able to release heaven-grade Divine arts even if they obtained it.

Heaven-grade Divine arts had extremely strict requirements of one's Essence Spirits!

Even if Martial Grandmasters were to set their Essence Spirits ablaze, they would not be able channel the heaven-grade Divine arts.

Theoretically, heaven-grade martial art techniques could be trained the moment one entered Martial Grandmaster realm.

However, heaven-grade martial art techniques were extremely difficult to comprehend and having just trained their Essence Spirits, there were many things that Martial Grandmasters did not know about this realm.

It would be extremely difficult for them to train!

Of course, the benefits of training a heaven-grade martial art technique were clear as day as well.

In the same realm, an Essence Spirit that trained a heaven-grade martial art technique would be much stronger than the Essence Spirits of other Perfected Lords!

The old monk continued, "After advancing to Martial Grandmaster realm, you will have to change all your weapons. Even if you're wielding a top-grade artifact weapon, it won't be able to release the might of Divine arts."

In terms of toughness, even ordinary Divine weapons would not be able to shatter top-grade artifact weapons with ease.

However, at the end of the day, top-grade artifact weapons were still only on the level of spirit energy.

"Divine weapons are classified into four types for the four different realms and it's extremely simple. Weapons used by Martial Grandmasters were called Perfected Lord Divine weapons and weapons used by Quasi Divines were Dao Being Divine weapons."

"Following that, Quasi-Divines used Lesser Divine rank Divine weapons and Lesser Gods used Perfected Divine weapons."

At that point, Aiden's heart stirred and he asked automatically, "There's also the Mahayana realm above Lesser God. In that case, do those patriarchs use Patriarch Divine weapons?"

"Wrong.."

The old monk smiled. "Mahayana Patriarchs use Divine treasures!"

"Divine treasure?"

Aiden and Morwyn Blackstone were stunned.

That was a term that was foreign to them.

The old monk replied, "The logic is simple. Divine powers are above spirit energy and divine weapons are above Divine powers. With that, Divine arts are above spirit arts and divine arts are above Divine arts."

"With the same comparison, Divine weapons are above artifact weapons and Divine treasures are above Divine weapons!"

"The reason why one has to change weapons at a new martial art realm is because their strength would also transform in terms of quality as their martial art advances."

"Artifact weapons will explode if they are injected with Divine powers. Similarly, Divine weapons aren't able to withstand divine powers and those that undergo the baptism of divine powers are known as Divine treasures!"

Aiden was enlightened.

"Be it Mighty Lord or Divine Beings with Divine weapons, the difference in grade is similar to artifact weapons."

The old monk continued, "A single Divine pattern makes an inferior-grade Perfected Lord Divine weapon, two Divine patterns, middle-grade Perfected Lord Divine weapon, three Divine patterns, superior-grade, four Divine patterns, supreme-grade, five Divine patterns, perfect-grade and six Divine patterns, top-grade. I'm sure you know about this by now."

Aiden nodded.

After a brief pause, the old monk took a deep breath, "There's another important thing I want to talk about."

"If you guys are able to advance to Martial Grandmaster realm successfully, you'll be able to train your Essence Spirits. Every single Martial Grandmaster has a chance to refine a Destiny Divine Weapon that belongs to themselves!"

"Destiny Divine weapon?!"

Both of them were stunned.

Aiden asked, "What is a Destiny Divine Weapon?"

"A Destiny Divine Weapon is interlinked with your Essence Spirit. By refining it day and night with your Essence Spirit, a tight connection will be made between you and your Divine weapon over time. It will be like a part of your body."

The old monk explained, "You will be able to release your greatest strength with a Destiny Divine Weapon."

Upon hearing this, Aiden frowned.

Even with that explanation, there was nothing special about Destiny Divine Weapons.

However, the old monk continued, "The true strength of a Destiny Divine Weapon lies in the fact that it will become stronger as your martial art advances!"

"Hmm?" historical

Aiden's eyes shone brightly, seemingly realizing something.

The old monk revealed a look of admiration and nodded. "If the Divine weapon you choose at the start is a superior-grade Perfected Lord Divine weapon, by the time you train to Quasi Divine realm, your Destiny Divine Weapon will also grow into a Dao Being Divine weapon after the refinement of your Essence Spirit. Furthermore, it will still be at three Divine patterns superior-grade!"

"Indeed!"

Aiden nodded and lamented, "That will be incredible."

This meant that the grade of a Destiny Divine Weapon will not change even as it grows!

In other words, if Aiden chose a top-grade Perfected Lord Divine weapon as his Destiny Divine Weapon, by the time he reaches Quasi Divine realm, his Destiny Divine Weapon would transform into a Dao Being Divine weapon.

However, its grade will still be at top grade!
