Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 524 Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword!
"Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword!" This was the name Hu Jia gave to the life weapon in her belly. When she called out this name, her eyes were shining. Jiang Lin understood that the soul of a middle school student does not distinguish between the worlds.

but
Is this name a bit too exaggerated? But it must be said that this name sounds quite domineering. Jiang Lin, Xiao Yan and the others were surprised, but they didn't think it was inappropriate, because this is the naming style of this world. Jiang Lin had previously refined a fighting weapon called "Flame Explosion Armor-Slashing Sword" (which came out later in the Spirit World chapter).

Or look at the names on the Spirit Weapon Rankings—each one is incredibly powerful and impressive. While Hu Jia's 'Mysterious Heaven Soul-Slaying Sword' is currently just a tiny, one-inch-long Karami, if Hu Jia's cultivation level continues to rise, this tiny Karami might one day rival those monsters on the Spirit Weapon Rankings.

Monster. This is Jiang Lin's evaluation of the spiritual weapons on the spiritual weapon list, or his evaluation of the 'ancient spiritual weapons' handed down from the previous era.

The weapon refining system in today's world has been completely led astray by the "ancient spiritual weapons". Jiang Lin realized this problem when he was compiling "Theory of Spiritual Energy".

Therefore, Jiang Lin reorganized the positioning of the weapon refining system and the positioning of spiritual weapons on the Douqi Continent in his latest work "Theory of Fate Weapons", which he had written for the most part.

Dou Qi vessels, mystical vessels, vessels of spiritual essence, vessels of the Dao. This is how Jiang Lin redefined the weapon refining system in his book "Theory of Fate Weapons." The previous path was wrong, led astray by the ancient weapon refiners. As a result, the Dou Qi Continent has been wandering aimlessly in a state of confusion for tens of thousands of years.

There are too many legends about the Dou Di in ancient times. The ancient weapon refiners ate too well, the resources of heaven and earth were too abundant, and the will of heaven and earth was too generous, so that the weapon refinement system experienced a discontinuous development. Later weapon refiners have been groping forward in the darkness of self-doubt. History records that this path is clearly possible, but it is not possible in their own hands. They doubt their own talents and their own understanding, but no one has ever doubted that the ancient weapon refiners ate too much.
"The ancients were not necessarily better than the moderns, nor are the moderns necessarily worse than the ancients." This statement, codified in the guiding principle of Jiang Lin's "On Fate Instruments," underpins his current maturity. Although he currently possesses only Dou Wang cultivation, he is considered a mere karmic master by some Dou Zun and Dou Sheng level seventh and eighth level weapon refiners. However, Dou Instruments are a discipline based on reason and logic. While Jiang Lin's cultivation is only at Dou Wang, he has thoroughly mastered Dou Qi Instruments and Mystical Instruments, and possesses a profound understanding of Soul Instruments. He is now a true seventh level Dou Instrument Grandmaster.

The difference between Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, and Dou Wang in the realm of Dou weapons is, in modern terms, the difference between a top-tier laboratory and an open-air cloak. Admittedly, the difference is significant, but Jiang Lin's innate spiritual perception and scientific thinking make him one of those "unbelievable geniuses whose brains alone rival those of top-tier laboratories" that have appeared in modern history. Jiang Lin's own unique qualities allow him to possess observation equipment that's not much inferior to that of a Dou Zun or Dou Sheng.

Below the Dao-carrying Vessels, all techniques were based on reason and logic, and the differences in realms and cultivation levels didn't present an unbridgeable chasm. Only Dao-carrying Vessels, above the Soul-infused Vessels, were inaccessible and incomprehensible without a sufficient realm. Because, that thing Jiang Lin had named a 'Dao Vessel,' when understood with mortal thinking, was completely illogical!
The ten "ancient spiritual weapons" on the spiritual weapon list are all unreasonable. They claim to follow the rules of their own world and suppress you within their own territory without any reason.

Therefore, Jiang Lin realized that the dilemma of the weapon refining industry in the world today is that everyone has heard that burning wood in ancient times could make the aircraft take off, so now weapon refiners are trying to burn wood to take off, but they all fail, and then they develop various technologies for burning wood in an efficient way. And no one has ever doubted whether the gravitational environment in ancient times was different.

Granted, top-tier experts like Dan Qizi were still incredibly impressive. However, Dan Qizi's skills were actually at the Daoist level, misunderstood as spiritual. Consequently, everyone assumed that above the Xuanqi were the spiritual weapons of Dan Qizi's legacy. But kid, you haven't even learned to crawl, and you're already thinking you can fly? How could that be possible?

Therefore, Jiang Lin realized the importance of correcting the weapon refining world's understanding of spiritual weapons and Dao weapons. Considering Dao weapons as the next step up from Xuan weapons will only drive oneself to death in self-doubt. It's like learning addition and subtraction and then jumping straight into calculus, and telling you that everyone else learned it that way. In this situation, everyone who learns will remain silent and suffer from depression.

The Soul Weapons and Sacred Artifacts of the Soul Clan and Spirit Clan paved the way for Jiang Lin, thus the emergence of Destiny Weapons signifies the maturity of the concept of "Spirit-Containing Artifacts." In fact, when Jiang Lin was compiling "The Theory of Destiny Weapons," he suddenly had a feeling that the appearance of Soul Weapons and Sacred Artifacts was not a sign of progress in the world of weapon crafting, but rather a manifestation of the founders of Soul Weapons and Sacred Artifacts going mad with learning.

Yes, just after learning addition and subtraction, they teach you calculus, and then put pressure on you, saying that the predecessors learned it this way. People with average abilities give up after learning, while some monsters with terrifying talents go crazy after learning. The madness of ordinary people may just be hitting their heads on the ground, but the madness of monsters will lead the whole world to madness.
So why do we say that Jiang Lin’s life weapon represents the maturity of the concept of soul-containing weapon?
because
"It's both mysterious and spiritual. It connects the past and the future, and it's a bit domineering. It's a good name. This Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword is connected to your destiny. Although it doesn't have the special and powerful abilities that traditional 'spiritual weapons' possess, because your destiny and weapon are one, your soul and spirit are one, you may be able to imprint your understanding of 'Tao' on the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword in the future, allowing it to carry your will and stand on equal footing with those 'ancient spiritual weapons'."

Jiang Lin truly thought the name "Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword" was a very good one, especially if one considered Xuantian to represent the environmental spirit of the current world and an ancient spiritual weapon, and combined it with the uniqueness of this life weapon as the 'original life weapon'.
Jiang Lin felt that this name was simply too good to be true. No other name could better describe Jiang Lin's mood at the moment than the four words "Xuantian Zhanling".

The most crucial Dao Mark of Heaven and Earth for the 'Ancient Spiritual Weapon', it doesn't matter if Heaven and Earth don't give it to me now, I will just make myself achieve Dao!

The Xuantian of today may not be able to cut off the "spirit" of the ancients!
"If you become the Green Emperor someday, your Black Sword will be able to slash through the heavens."

Jiang Lin showed a faint smile. For some reason, he felt extremely relaxed at this moment.

Maybe he understood?
(Although it was a bit long-winded, at this moment, Jiang Lin's thoughts were unified. In the way of refining weapons, he quietly reached a height that was difficult for the world to understand.)

"If the emergence of 'Theory of Spiritual Qi' represents the unification of the cultivation world."

"Then the appearance of 'Theory of Fate Instruments' is a supreme celebration for the instrument refining world."

"No one knows how that man was able to systematically organize and summarize the world at the Dou Wang stage."

"But this doesn't stop people from using that man's story to pressure future generations of students. It's truly sad."
