I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1266 - 773: The Secret of Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts and Dao Artifacts (Part 2)

This Void Flying Boat had originally been part of the one hundred and eight sub-boats.

By itself, each sub-boat carried at least the strength of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Assembled all together into a grand formation, the full set of one hundred and eight sub-boats could erupt with terrifying might that surpassed a standard Dao Artifact.

Regrettably, during that fierce clash, the vast majority of the Immortal Flying Boat’s sub-boats got destroyed.

The sole survivor ought to be the very one now in your possession.

Still, the sub-boat you're holding must have suffered heavy damage as well, hasn't it?

Lu Qing answered: "Yes, when I first obtained this Void Flying Boat, its power was merely that of a Low Grade Spirit Artifact. Afterward, by chance, I discovered a Void Core and fused it inside, which let it recover just enough to reach the level of a High Grade Spirit Artifact."

"That explains it. The Immortal Flying Boat was forged by its creator using the primary trunk of a World Treasure Tree he stumbled upon amid his heavenly travels.

The one hundred and eight sub-boats came from the remaining fragments, bound by the same essence as the main vessel.

Because of this shared root, even if the sub-boats endure grave harm, they can retreat to the mother boat for healing and revival.

That's precisely what's happening with your Void Flying Boat at this moment.

After it finishes mending, it'll come back into your grasp once again."

It became clear that the Void Flying Boat's earlier frenzy stemmed from its urge to return to the mother boat for repairs.

With this revelation, Lu Qing's heart settled into greater calm.

And sure enough, things unfolded exactly as Old Cyan Dragon described.

After lingering in this realm for a few days, the massive Immortal Flying Boat ahead quivered faintly, gradually expelling the Void Flying Boat.

At this point, the Void Flying Boat boasted a refreshed form.

All the faint marks from before had vanished entirely, leaving its surface sleek and flawless.

A silvery glow danced across it, pulsing with enigmatic energy that made it look utterly stunning.

The aura of power it released had grown remarkably stronger too.

Yet Old Cyan Dragon, sensing the energy flowing from the Void Flying Boat, creased its forehead in mild concern.

"How come it's only mended back to the early phase of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact?"

Looking toward the Immortal Flying Boat ahead, now appearing somewhat faded, it quickly grasped the reason.

With a shake of its head: "Looks like the Immortal Flying Boat's state is more dire than I thought, so depleted that it struggles to fully mend even a single Void Flying Boat."

"Senior, hasn't the Void Flying Boat already reached the rank of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact?"

Through their spiritual bond, Lu Qing felt the dramatic rise in the Void Flying Boat's strength, confirming it had stepped into top-grade Spiritual Artifact territory.

But catching the hint of dissatisfaction in Old Cyan Dragon's voice, he paused in surprise.

"In its prime, the Immortal Flying Boat commanded one hundred and eight sub-boats, each brimming with top-grade pinnacle might and the promise to evolve into genuine Dao Artifacts.

Right now, this Void Flying Boat has only climbed back to the beginner level of top-grade, nowhere near its former glory."

Old Cyan Dragon shook its head.

"I understand."

Only then did Lu Qing get it, though he didn't echo Old Cyan Dragon's regret; instead, a grin lit his face.

"Don't worry about it, senior. Just having the Void Flying Boat mend to this extent already delights me plenty, since in my current level, the gap between early top-grade and top-grade pinnacle doesn't matter much."

Lu Qing remained at the Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit stage. Given his cultivation, he couldn't even fully harness a High Grade Spirit Artifact, much less a top-grade one.

For him, early top-grade or pinnacle top-grade came down to the same thing.

Since he lacked the ability to unleash their complete force anyway.

"You're right; even for those at the Unity Realm Stage, a top-grade Spiritual Artifact counts as a rare Magical Treasure. Not all Unity Realm Stage experts own one."

Old Cyan Dragon nodded, endorsing Lu Qing's view.

While the Immortal Palace held numerous Spiritual Artifacts, and even the outer halls beyond the Immortal Palace contained a fair share,

the bulk of those Spiritual Artifacts were Low Grade Spirit Artifacts, with Middle Grade ones proving quite uncommon.

The hierarchy of Magical Treasures demands strict progression, and climbing each rank proves immensely challenging.

For Spiritual Artifacts, Low Grade and Middle Grade appear fairly widespread.

Seasoned Primordial Spirit Realm experts can usually manage one or two.

However, High Grade Spiritual Artifacts become far rarer.

Typically, even elite Primordial Spirits at the Eight or Ninth Tribulations struggle to command one.

Someone like Mo Tushan wields the Nine Abyss Demon Tower solely due to his elite standing as the prime disciple of a Transformation Realm giant.

The man in the Purple Dragon Robe carries his clan's two premier High Grade inherited Spiritual Artifacts thanks to ancestral bequests and his role as head of the Great Origin Immortal Clan.

For regular top-tier forces or peak Primordial Spirits seeking a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, they must laboriously collect materials, investing vast time and effort to craft one gradually.

As for top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, even Unity Realm Stage powerhouses covet them fiercely.

Each top-grade Spiritual Artifact signifies the zenith of the Spiritual Artifact realm.

It harbors fully matured laws within.

Progressing beyond demands grasping the profound essence of the Great Dao, transforming into a Dao Artifact.

What defines a Dao Artifact? It's a supreme Magical Treasure infused with the full essence of a Great Dao!

Yet Dao Artifacts wield immense potency, and crafting one challenges even Transformation Realm Immortals beyond measure.

It demands boundless resources plus a chain of lucky breaks to even attempt creation.

Beyond that, another route exists to forge a Dao Artifact.

That involves relentlessly guiding a top-grade Spiritual Artifact to evolve and ascend into one.

But this route demands equal toil.

While top-grade Spiritual Artifacts boast refined inner laws and awesome might,

prompting the artifact to cultivate a whole Great Dao's essence from those laws borders on impossible.

Only if a mighty Unity Realm practitioner bonds deeply with a top-grade Spiritual Artifact can they not just grasp its inner laws to advance their own Dao.

They might also infuse their realizations into the Spiritual Artifact over time, enriching and refining it toward completion.

Should this Unity Realm practitioner finally ascend to the Transformation Realm,

and seize the breakthrough's heavenly surges and Dao resonances to etch their total grasp of the Great Dao into the artifact,

then a pinnacle top-grade Spiritual Artifact could potentially evolve into a Dao Artifact.

Thus, the value of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact stands evident.

"Early top-grade works just fine. When you, Ah Qing, reach the Unity Realm in your cultivation, you can infuse laws into the Void Flying Boat to bring it to full restoration."

With this realization, Old Cyan Dragon's lingering disappointment faded away.

"True, this might actually suit me even better."

In the interim, Lu Qing explored the leftover trial routes he hadn't attempted before, claiming additional inheritances.

Among them, succeeding in the Path of Artifact Refining challenge and securing its legacy taught him deep secrets about Dao Artifacts.

"Looks like you've figured it out. The Immortal Palace's treasure chamber holds some artifacts, but none match the caliber of your Green Radiance Sword or Void Flying Boat, so I skipped fetching them."

Old Cyan Dragon commented.

"No need, senior. The Magical Treasures in my possession already suffice. Extra ones wouldn't help me control them any better."

Lu Qing's claim held no boast.

He owned an abundance of Magical Treasures.

Besides the Low Grade and Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts he'd claimed from Zi’an in the Heavenly Origin Great World, he possessed multiple High Grade ones.

Now that the Void Flying Boat had ascended to top-grade Spiritual Artifact status,

despite his plentiful mana reserves, managing all these potent Magical Treasures lay beyond him.

So, more from Old Cyan Dragon would simply go unused.

"Very well, then I'll ready the exit for you all."

Old Cyan Dragon wasted no more time. After Lu Qing stowed the Void Flying Boat, it swiped its claw, unleashing Spatial Power once more to wrap around the group.

In the instant that followed, their forms blinked out of sight.

Within the boundless void, only the colossal Immortal Flying Boat lingered, resting in quiet vigil, eternal as the ages.
