The old man thought for a minute then said, "It's not that simple. Unless you're a strong rule cultivator, there's no way for you to simply master the Weapon Command Skill. That's because for one to completely master a weapon, they need to be one with it. After that, they can channel the power from heaven and earth through the weapons and absorb it into their body. This is said to be the ultimate way to strengthen the combat effectiveness as a rule cultivator."
After a moment's silence, Darren asked, "Sir, what's the difference between the Weapon Command Skill of the rule cultivators and the skills used by martial artists?"
"You've reached such a high level of Spirit Power, but you weren't taught by a master of the rule cultivation? Rule cultivators should turn the forces of heaven and earth into forces of attack. Martial artists improve their bodies, their strength, and their souls through their own exercise. That way they can enhance the effectiveness of their combat skills.
To put it simply, rule cultivation means borrowing power, while martial arts cultivation means controlling power. In other words, the power of a martial artist's weapon comes from his own body. However, the power of a rule cultivator's weapon is the inherent power of both heaven and earth. For example, someone can transform the Thunder Force, the Wind Force and the Fire Force into attacking skills. This is the Weapon Command Skill,"
the old man tried to explain briefly.
Darren thought for a while. Then he asked, "But I have a feeling that the power of a martial artist should be stronger than a rule cultivator's, when they reach a particular level. Because the forces of heaven and earth, which a rule cultivator uses, should have a limit. For example, a rule cultivator in the senior Holy Realm can use the Wind Force, but the wind is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. He can't control it."
"Ha-ha!" The old man couldn't help but laugh. "You are still too ignorant. Every power in the world is extremely terrifying when it reaches its limit. Take the Wind Force you just mentioned. It comes from the Wind Rule, right? If a rule cultivator is powerful enough, he can use all of the Wind Rules in the world.
Let me give you an example of something that was passed down from ancient times. A senior holy rule cultivator of commanding wind owned a special fan. This fan was said to be able to activate storms within thirty thousand kilometers. That kind of storm could kill one hundred senior holy warriors of martial arts cultivation!"
"Wow, that's so scary!" Darren gasped.
He couldn't believe that a fan could kill one hundred senior holy warriors of martial arts cultivation!
"In that case, martial artists of the same realm are as weak as ants in front of rule cultivators!?" Darren couldn't accept that. While he was intrigued by what rule cultivators could do, his lifelong dream was to be a martial artist. Hearing this made him feel a little sad.
"You can't really compare them like that. Their strengths can't be measured on the same level. There's no shortage of talented people among martial artists. They aren't inferior to the best rule cultivators. The rule cultivator with a fan I mentioned was an invincible senior holy warrior, the kind you only get to meet once in a million years. I think that's why he managed to singlehandedly kill a hundred martial artists," the old man explained.
"Yes, you are right, sir. In fact, no matter which realm you are in, the division within it is just a general concept. For the seven-star Grand Realm, there is a huge difference between the weakest and the strongest, let alone the masters of the Holy Realm," Darren said.
"It's good that you can understand. Let me see your weapons," the old man said with a nod.
"Okay." Darren took out his divine blade and divine sword.
"Oh, my God! These are very good weapons!" the old man exclaimed as he held them in his hands.
"Sir, how would you rate them?" Darren asked.
"I believe that these belong to the top level of weapons I'd seen. Let me sense them carefully," the old man said and injected a little Spirit Power into the blade and sword.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and happily said, "They are ancient divine weapons with a trace of the aura of a holy emperor inside. They must be Emperor Weapons!"
Although Darren had known his weapons were extraordinary, his heart skipped a beat finding out their true origins.
