Continent City on Xinyi Continent.
Xinyi Academy, Forging Institute.
A massive furnace was blazing, with golden flames flickering inside.
This was not an ordinary flame; it was a powerful spirit fire, rich in Spiritual Qi, naturally transforming into various beasts, one of the best flames for forging divine weapons: Firewood.
However, ordinary blacksmiths had no means to purchase such high-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Clang clang!!
The sound of forging was incessant at this moment.
An instructor was wielding a hammer, seemingly testing some materials, separating them with spirit fire, while a group of students watched intently, very humble and eager to learn.
Someone curiously asked, "Is this the fragment of that Demon Weapon?"
A student casually replied, "That Demon Cultivator is at most a young genius. Regardless of his mediocre talents, it has nothing to do with us."
"Indeed, what we're interested in is this Demon Weapon."
A lot of people were a bit excited at the moment.
The Demon Weapon forged by an anonymous Divine Craftsman revealed something quite novel to their Forging Institute.
It was incomprehensible, stirring a desire to explore its mysteries.
This intense curiosity prompted them, as people of the Forging Institute, to issue a commission within Xinyi Academy, letting the mad dogs of the Combat Institute take action.
After several turns and twists,
they finally retrieved a fragment of the Demon Weapon from the chase battlefield.
The blood and flesh of a Cultivator in the Three Elements Realm were exceptionally resilient, comparable to hacking pig bones with a kitchen knife, causing significant damage to the Sword Body.
Thus, it was entirely normal for the fragments of a Demon Weapon to fall off!
Moreover, the person had no time to repair the weapon, forced to keep fighting, further damaging the weapon.
They believed that the fragment they obtained now could solve most of their doubts.
This class was very important today!
The entry threshold for the class was high, and they had paid not a low price.
Because today, they would acquire firsthand information about this weapon.
The students present came from various cities, and regions, as geniuses capable of enrolling in this Forging Institute and attending this class, indicating their high talent, being the young leaders of their respective forces.
"It's been analyzed!"
With a startled exclamation from one of the students, the instructor also stopped the forging hammer.
"The location on this fragment is actually the Artifact Heart!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "How could it be the Artifact Heart? If the Artifact Heart is shattered, how can the weapon still be used?"
The so-called Artifact Heart is the core of a Divine Artifact.
Due to the rapid rate of Divine Weapon breakage, it may chip after a few combats, or the sword edge may crack.
So generally, a Divine Weapon is divided into two parts.
Divided into Artifact Sharp, Artifact Heart.
The Artifact Heart is the core for the operation of a Magical Artifact, and the sword edge is the outer "coating" of the weapon, which can be replaced.
Like the chain of a chainsaw, it can be replaced.
While wielding a weapon, the sword edge may get damaged, and you can seek a master blacksmith for repairs.
This separation structure significantly reduces the extent of damage to the Divine Weapon!
Of course, high-intensity combat will still cause damage to the Sword Heart, resulting in cracks. If you don't maintain it over a long time, being too careless in combat... it's still easy to damage.
Therefore, a powerful swordsman or blademan cherishes their weapon immensely, as a damaged weapon core might not be affordable to repair.
This ultimately boils down to.
Cultivators in this world being too difficult to kill.
Even some body cultivators with special Spiritual Roots have bodies comparable to Divine Weapons.
Their bodies can self-repair, whereas your Divine Weapon cannot be easily repaired, so many people refrain from fighting such body cultivators.
Impossible to kill, dreadfully annoying, repairing the weapon can bankrupt oneself.
"Instructor!"
A student asked, "This Demon Weapon is a single piece, with no distinction between sword edge and sword heart; aren't they afraid of damage?"
The instructor did not directly answer but continued analyzing, "What's most absurd now is, after the weapon's Sword Heart shattered, the weapon can still fight!"
"No! It's not just about breaking." Another elderly person said, "Based on our latest intel, the breached sword edge can self-repair."
Self-repair?
Everyone tightened their expressions, instinctively thinking of Embers.
Could it be that this weapon is...
Up until now, many people still do not know the truth of this weapon.
Because they lacked the ability to immediately discern the essence of the weapon.
"Candidly, our head of the Forging Institute had previously believed this to be an Ash Artifact, now completely confirmed."
The lead instructor's voice became increasingly solemn:
"This weapon, unquestionably similar to Embers, has the function of being repairable through material filling."
"However, after the material is filled and self-repairs, the breach part of the weapon obviously becomes somewhat fragile, with significantly reduced strength."
No one spoke.
It was expected, after all, it wasn't forged as one.
Being able to self-repair to such an extent was already quite impressive.
It allows for temporary repairs, adequately responding to continuous combat emergencies.
"This is amazing, its sustained combat power is strong enough to withstand the pursuit period." An instructor nodded, "From this aspect, this weapon has significant advantages."
"From the composition standpoint, it is a very classic popular forging method."
A remarkably handsome young man spoke; he was the top student of this term, and he said calmly:
"Judging by the craftsmanship, it is difficult to distinguish the style, and the origin is unclear, plus the materials used for this Magical Artifact are very ordinary."
This statement instantly gained the approval of most blacksmith prodigies.
Ordinary is relative.
These materials could be used as auxiliary materials in a Divine Weapon.
But none of them could serve as the main material for a Divine Weapon.
Because the main material of a Divine Weapon must obviously be some sort of Demon King material, Demon Core, Demon Bone...
But the opponent's Divine Weapon lacked a main material, it was like a complete car missing only the engine, seeming rather absurd in their eyes.
Over the next half day.
The more they analyzed the materials, the more ordinary they found the weapon to be.
And the more ordinary the materials, the more they sensed a significant extraordinariness within.
This clearly opened up an entirely new faction.
The core of the Divine Weapon evidently shifted.
The core of the Divine Weapon was not the Artifact Heart, but the Artifact Spirit.
With the Artifact Spirit as the core, an illusory soul body, the cost of repairing a Divine Weapon would be significantly reduced.
"If this Divine Weapon becomes widespread, the era might just change!"
Someone complained, "Our repair business will greatly diminish."
Most Divine Weapon business essentially revolves around repair work.
There are also cases of forging a new Divine Weapon.
But it's rare.
What does an unbreakable Divine Weapon mean?
In the previous weapon era, the update and iteration of Divine Weapons maintained a very stable number.
To obtain a Divine Weapon, one had to venture into danger, hunt a Demon King...
This was why the combat prodigies from Xinyi Academy, even disciples from other major sects, risked their lives adventuring.
And now, if Divine Weapons become difficult to damage and this technology can be widely spread, the number of Divine Weapons on this land would inevitably surge.
Divine Weapons might even devalue, with High-Tier Cultivators having one each not being impossible.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, feeling their entire worldview was being overturned.
And the leading young blacksmith prodigies, all from prominent families, fixated on the fragments of the weapon, with one thought rising in their minds:
"Could this be... an Eternal Divine Soldier!"
"This weapon, unlike others, theoretically could exist eternally, traversing the river of history, crossing a city, a continent, an era, witnessing the rise and fall of numerous historical lives."
"It could become the Eternal Emperor's Weapon of a clan!"
Through this verification and analysis class, everyone realized: the world might just be changing.
