‘”Since the Divine Weapons Sect is a sect that refines weapons, it is obviously a difficult task to rely on them to cultivate hard. There are very few people in this world who can achieve extremely high achievements in both weapons refining and cultivation at the same time.”

“Therefore, if you want to improve your strength, you can only think of a way in artifact forging.”

“They came up with a lot of ideas. After all kinds of attempts, they finally formed three schools.”

“The first school of thought was to refine his body like a weapon. This was the origin of the famous humanoid weapon in history.”

“This method works the fastest. Someone even made their body as strong as a Dao Artifact. Moreover, it can also have the effect of a part of a Dao Artifact. It can activate the power of the Grand Dao. The end result is incomparably formidable.”

“Back then, all of the top ten humanoid weapons of the Divine Weapons Sect were able to fight against Dao Realm experts. They were simply impressive and unstoppable.”

“However, the aftereffects of this method are too great. If you turn yourself into a weapon, your body’s structure will be greatly damaged and transform into a weapon’s structure. In the end, your consciousness will gradually be annihilated. Your mind will stiffen and you will become a living dead person.”

“The second type of sect is to create a special weapon that will completely merge into your body and become a part of your body.”

“This method is the most ingenious. It can greatly increase one’s strength without worrying too much about the aftereffects.”

Li Qing asked curiously, “Exactly what method is used to fuse these special weapons into your body?”

“For example, create a psionic heart and replace the heart in your body.”

“What? How is this possible?” Li Qing was shocked.

The Golden Lion Marquis sighed, “When I saw this secret, I reacted the same way as you. I have to say that the Divine Armament Sect is truly a group of madmen and geniuses. They were actually able to do this.”

“You can think about it. Our normal hearts are all mortal bodies, and the Divine Weapons Sect has directly created a spirit artifact-level heart that continuously provides powerful power. Doesn’t that mean that our strength has increased by a large margin?”

“Alright, what a horrible bunch of people.” Li Qing felt his scalp go numb.

“It’s not just the heart. They’ve tried all sorts of organs. They’ve even created a terrifying dantian!”

‘”The terrifying thing about this dantian is that it is made entirely out of spatial materials. It is similar to the spatial rings we use everyday. Although it looks small on the surface, the space inside is incredibly large. It is specifically used to hold true essence. You can imagine how powerful such a dantian is.”

“You can still do this?” Li Qing was dumbfounded. They used spatial materials to cast their dantian and then installed it into their bodies. They were lucky to be able to think of it.

“There is also a third school, which is to continuously sacrifice divine weapons to devour the souls of humans and make them produce intelligent artifact spirits.”

Li Qing frowned, “This method is really evil!”

The Marquis of Golden Lion nodded, “It is indeed very evil, but they were all inspired by the Ascension Heavenly Palace in Daoist Patriarch Wuji, right?”

“The Ascension Heavenly Palace was created by Daoist Patriarch Wuji extracting the Heaven Swallowing Kun Peng’s demon soul and injecting it into the Ascension Heavenly Palace, thus giving birth to wisdom.”

“But the Divine Weapons Sect can’t do this. They can’t extract their souls, nor can they inject them into their weapons, much less have a powerful soul like the Heaven Swallowing Kun Peng.”

“In this way, they can only use the Blood Sacrifice Divine Weapon to actively make it devour its blood and soul. This way, it can give birth to wisdom.”

“Such a weapon is called Blood Divine Army!”

“Once they really do this, it means that they can produce intelligent artifact spirits in batches. This will be a big breakthrough in history.”

“After Blood Divine Army possesses intelligence, he is no different from a human. It is equivalent to producing an expert out of thin air!”

Li Qing asked, “Did they succeed?”

“They have both succeeded and failed.”

“What do you mean?” Li Qing was puzzled.

‘”They did create the Blood Divine Army. After some testing, they discovered that after a spirit artifact produced intelligence, it was equivalent to a Void Realm expert. After a Dao artifact produced intelligence, it was equivalent to a Dao Realm expert!”

“Of course, it might actually be slightly weaker than humans, but it can be considered an amazing achievement. This gives them a boost in spirits.”

“So they started to manufacture Blood Divine Army in large quantities. Their strength is getting stronger and stronger.”

‘”However, the intelligence generated from obtaining a weapon through blood sacrifice is extremely evil. The people of the Divine Weapons Sect seem to understand this principle as well. They recognized the weapon as their master and firmly controlled it to avoid harming themselves.”

However, the binding force of recognizing a weapon as its owner did not seem to be as great as he had imagined. On a pitch-black night, Blood Divine Army rebelled and killed all the people from the Divine Weapons Sect, devouring their blood and souls.

“At this point, the Divine Weapons Sect was destroyed by the weapons they created, disappearing into the long river of history.”

“Play with fire and burn yourself!” Li Qing sighed.

“The reason I advised you not to go there was because it was too dangerous. Not only were there terrifying humanoid weapons, there were also countless evil things like Blood Divine Army. In history, there were many people who attacked Beimang Mountain, but most of them were defeated.”

“After those Blood Divine Army were born with intelligence, they didn’t have the needs of humans at all. Their bodies were still weapons, and they could remain buried underground for a long time. It was difficult to discover them.”

“However, whenever a stranger comes near, they will immediately launch an attack from underground, devouring the blood and souls of humans. It is impossible to guard against them.”

Li Qing asked doubtfully, “Since that place is so dangerous, why do many adventurers seem to have entered Beimang Mountain to search for treasures?”

‘”How dare they enter the core area? Most of them are just digging for something outside. Beimang Mountain is a very large territory, covering a total area of a thousand kilometers. It’s all the ruins of the Divine Weapons Sect back then. There’s actually no danger outside.”

“I see. Thank you for telling me these secrets. Otherwise, if I rashly barge in, I might end up in there.” Li Qing said gratefully.

“Hearing what I said, you still haven’t changed your mind? You still want to enter Beimang Mountain?”

“That’s right, I’ve made up my mind. Don’t worry, I won’t rashly enter. If the situation doesn’t turn out well, I will definitely leave in time. I won’t risk my life.” Li Qing said.

“Alright, then you have to be careful. Especially, you have to pay attention to controlling the power of qi and blood. Otherwise, if Blood Divine Army smells it, it will swarm over.”
