“Senior, how should one cultivate the external body? I still don’t have a complete understanding and I wonder if you...”
The Eternal Sword Master hurriedly asked.
The Divine Craftsman Supreme in front of him was a big shot; such a good opportunity couldn’t be missed.
“You're asking me?”
The Divine Craftsman Supreme rolled his eyes, “Didn’t the Sword Ancestor teach you?”
Indeed, the Divine Craftsman Supreme referred to the Sword Ancestor as a senior.
Not to mention he was already a supreme warrior; even if he became a pinnacle supreme warrior, he would still call the Sword Ancestor a senior upon meeting him.
In ancient times, the Sword Ancestor was at the same level as the Craftsman Ancestor, and back then, the Divine Craftsman Supreme was just a fire boy. More importantly, the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion’s contributions to the human race were significant.
With the Sword Ancestor’s strength, if he had wanted to escape back then, no one could have stopped him. Yet he was willing to perish with the Demon Tribe and the Dark Clan for the sake of the human race, suppressing the Dark King for millions of years, which anyone would respect.
“This...”
The Eternal Sword Master felt awkward, “My master said to let me comprehend it myself.”
“Oh.”
The Divine Craftsman Supreme nodded, “I understand. Since the Sword Ancestor doesn’t follow the path of the external body, he couldn’t teach you, so you came to ask me.
It’s very simple...”
“The external body is actually a process of integrating the physical body with treasures. Which do you think is more suitable for soul integration, the human body or treasures?”
The Divine Craftsman Supreme asked.
Qin Chen and the others also looked over.
This question was intriguing.
“Of course, it’s the human body.”
The Eternal Sword Master replied.
Is there even a need to mention that?
The human body is suitable for the soul to reside in. If treasures were so easy to integrate with, then why would some strong warriors need to seize other people's bodies after their physical forms perished?
They could simply occupy a treasure.
The Divine Craftsman Supreme immediately laughed, with an expression that said he knew the Eternal Sword Master would answer that way.
“Did I say something wrong?”
The Eternal Sword Master was bewildered.
The Divine Craftsman Supreme chuckled, “Then let me ask you, why doesn’t a corpse, after being nurtured for millions of years, give birth to a soul, but a treasure, when nurtured for millions of years, can easily give birth to a weapon spirit?”
Oh, that’s actually a good question.
Ji Ruyue and Ji Wuxue beside them also frowned.
Indeed, treasures can easily give birth to souls. Some heavenly treasures, like Heavenly Fire, naturally give birth to spiritual intelligence, and even artificially refined treasures can also give birth to weapon spirits.
However, no matter how one nurtures a corpse, it cannot give birth to any new spiritual intelligence.
Why is that?
The Divine Craftsman Supreme smiled and looked at Qin Chen, “Qin Chen, you should know the answer, right?”
Qin Chen replied, “The reason treasures can give birth to spiritual intelligence is still due to nurturing. Strong warriors constantly use their souls and power to nurture them, which naturally leads to transformation. The spirits of heavenly treasures like Heavenly Fire are the same; although they are not nurtured by strong warriors, the universe nurtures them.
So, the birth of spiritual intelligence in treasures is related to both the treasures themselves and the strong warriors nurturing them.”
“As for corpses... who would nurture a corpse?
If someone truly nurtured one for millions of years, it might not be impossible for it to become a corpse puppet and give birth to its own consciousness.”
Qin Chen said lightly.
Oh, that’s really the case! The Eternal Sword Master and the others widened their eyes and realized that it was indeed as he said.
“Haha, very good. No wonder you are the next master of the heavenly work hall as determined by me.”
