Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Spiritual Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and Immortal Artifacts

Translator: 549690339

“They are imitations of the Brahma Tower and the Great Confucian Word Post!”

Among the passengers, someone with exceptional knowledge recognized the treasures that Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and King Change had just used.

The sacred treasure of Mount Sumeru’s line of Buddhism is called the Brahma

Tower. It’s said to be as heavy as a small world. If struck with full force, even a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator would not dare to take it head on. There is also a rumor that it has the ability to break open space, allowing the holder of the Brahma Tower to freely traverse through it.

Although the Great Confucian Word Post doesn’t have the same status as the Brahma Tower, it is still a genuine Immortal Artifact held by Confucians. If a word is written on it, such as “Hold” the post would immobilize people; if it’s “Fight”, the post could transform into a Confucian guardian for battle. Other options include “Speak”, “Rush”, ‘Escape”, and so on, providing a vast range of utilities.

Of course, both are Immortal Artifacts. Both Buddhism and Confucianism wouldn’t let their juniors carry them, but they have provided them with copies for self-protection.

“Even the imitation is extremely powerful. Although it’s not as precious as the real thing, it still belongs to the scope of Magic Artifacts!”

The crowd was in awe. Magic Artifacts were extremely precious, and even if they sold all the passengers on this boat, they still wouldn’t be able to afford a fragment of a Magic Artifact.

Nine States categorizes treasures into four tiers. The first tier is Spiritual Artifacts. Essentially, each Foundation Establishment Cultivator could have one. But the power is not great, they’re only sharper and stronger than ordinary weapons, there’s nothing extraordinary about them.

The second tier is Magic Artifacts. A Nascent Soul Cultivator could afford one by spending half of their property. They naturally surpass Spiritual Artifacts in power and can communicate with cultivator’s thoughts, and be manipulated remotely. At this stage, they can develop subtle wisdom and help the cultivator automatically defend against the enemy.

The third tier is Dao Artifacts. Crafting Dao Artifacts is extremely hard and requires a cultivator to have profound insights into the “Dao”. For example, the Dao of Time of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family, the Dao of Space of Mount Sumeru, or the Dream Path of Dream Pure, and so on. Furthermore, the materials that carry the “Dao” are extremely expensive. Not many Divinity Transformation Cultivators could afford it, usually only the wealthy Body Integration Cultivators could.

The fourth tier is of course, Immortal Artifacts. No one in the Nine States can forge Immortal Artifacts. The existing Immortal Artifacts, except for the Yin Yang Heaven Seal, which was made by Daoist ancestors before ascension, the rest were brought to Nine States by former immortals from the Immortal Realm which are extremely rare.

The most famous among the Immortal Artifacts are surely Dao Sect’s Yin Yang Heaven Seal, Buddhism’s Brahma Tower, and Confucianism’s Great Confucian Word Post.

“The Great Confucian Word Post is indeed imitated, but the Brahma Tower…’

The Saintess Pure Heart hesitated, her gaze turned to Jiang Li, seeking an answer.

She too owned a Dao Artifact called Twelve-Rank Green Lotus, so she had a good understanding of Dao Artifacts. She always felt that the Brahma Tower did not seem to be a Dao Artifact.

Jiang Li nodded, expressing his doubt, “You’re not wrong. This is indeed the real Brahma Tower. How much importance does Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru attach to this new Buddha Child to even let him bring out such a thing?”

The passengers didn’t genuinely understand Immortal and Dao Artifacts. They just thought that the sects would not let their disciples take away their sect’s treasure, so they believed that Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and King Change’s artifacts were fakes.

But in fact, what King Change had was a fake, whereas what Wu Zhi the Buddha Child had was genuine.

However, Wu Zhi the Buddha Child’s skill was not high, and he could not fully unleash the power of the Brahma Tower. But if he really encountered danger, the Brahma Tower would automatically repel the enemy, killing the attacker. Even a Body Integration Realm cultivator could be killed.

“However, these two juniors are relying too heavily on their treasures at this young age. This isn’t good. Surely they can handle a wild demon that can fly with their sect’s legacy?” Jiang Li expressed some concern for the current state of Nine States.

“Not just the two of them, other cultivators are also like this. They always want to buy a treasure at all cost, using it when facing the enemy. They can’t truly cultivate themselves. Only when one is strong can they really be considered powerful.”

Saintess Pure Heart stammered in her defense, “Because…because…treasures are really very useful. How can everyone be like you, leaving the Great Pole to gather dust and not use it.”

“I understand the reasons, but…ah…”

Jiang Li wanted to say something more, but seeing Saintess Pure Heart’s aggrieved expression, he did not continue.

At this moment, the eagle demon was still being abused by the two. It felt as if it was becoming Buddhist one moment and righteous the next, causing its spirit to almost shatter.

With the voices of Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and Kinz Change zettinz louder

and more engrossed, forgetting their surroundings, they are wholly committed to either cultivating or teaching the eagle demon.

The passengers, entranced by their voices, gathered into two groups.

One group was behind Wu Zhi the Buddha Child intently worshipping the Buddha and chanting together. They felt sinful in this life and took out all their wealth to provide Wu Zhi the Buddha Child, pledging to continuously do good deeds to seek rebirth in the next life.

The other group were behind King Change and had a deeper understanding of family and country sentiments. They plan to dedicate themselves wholly, even unto death, to their country or sect once they return.

“I remembered that neither Buddhism nor Confucianism were this wicked. Is this brainwashing?” Saintess Pure Heart had never seen this situation and found it somewhat terrifying.

“It’s just temporary. Once they stop chanting, the brainwashing will be lifted.” Jiang Li, having seen many things, knew this was quite common in Buddhism and Confucianism.

The scripture of Buddhism and Confucianism have a very strong brainwashing effect. If the control over the scripture is not good and is recited indiscriminately, it can easily cause group brainwashing.

Once, a high-ranking monk from Buddhism was walking while reciting scriptures. He was so engrossed that he accidentally brainwashed a small town’s believers. The monk kept walking until he reached the East Sea, with the crowd following him. However, they didn’t know how to swim and drowned in the East Sea.

Upon realizing his grave mistake, the monk decided to walk the demonic path.

Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru was reluctant to take action, so he had Jiang Li help to execute him.

This high-ranked monk was the former Buddha Child, whom Daoist Priestess Qing Yu had a crush on.

Jiang Li stood up and said, “But we still need to intervene. These two children’s

‘Fa’ have deviated from the orthodox path and could potentially turn to evil.”

The eagle demon quickly yelled, “Hey, hey, hey, are you guys from Buddhism or Confucianism or are you heretics? Is it okay to forcibly change someone’s thoughts like this? Look behind you. Look behind you, hey!”

Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and King Change had already been quietly competing with each other to see who could first cultivate or teach the eagle demon.

The eagle demon then saw one of the two people in the corner get up, walk briskly to Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and King Change, and give each one a chop to the head.

“You two ignorant fools, wake up! You’ve gone off the right path and if you continue down this road you’ll fall into evil!”

Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and King Change suddenly came to their senses. Seeing the two groups of people behind them, they felt guilty and quickly dissipated their mana so the people could return to normal.

“You are…” The two of them respectfully looked at Jiang Li, thanking him for waking them up.

“Jiang Li.”

The eyes of Wu Zhi the Buddha Child and King Change widened.

The eagle demon’s eyes nearly popped out in shock. It had whimsically decided to rob someone, but how did it end up encountering not only the Buddha Child and a Confucian practitioner, but also the Human Emperor Jiang Li?!

Is this considered good luck or bad luck?
