"Godhead Weapons... hmm, if refined with full effort, they really can absorb Hong Meng Spiritual Qi, but the speed is far too slow—more than two thousand times slower than Heaven and Earth Oddities!"
Zhou Tong spent only twenty years nurturing his Void Breaker Sword with a thread of Hong Meng Spiritual Qi. Once that thread had been exhausted, Zhou Tong gave up as well.
The nurturing speed was simply too slow.
A Qian Jun Staff forged from a Heaven and Earth Oddity could fuse with one strand of Hong Meng Spiritual Qi in a year, but the Godhead Weapon, the Void Breaker Sword, could only fuse one percent in twenty years. In other words, Godhead Weapons absorbed Hong Meng Spiritual Qi at one two-thousandth the speed of Heaven and Earth Oddities.
"It took my Qian Jun Staff five thousand years to fully become a Supreme Artifact. If it were the Void Breaker Sword, it would take at least ten million years!" Zhou Tong was somewhat speechless.
He picked up the Void Breaker Sword and examined it. This weapon was indeed a tiny bit stronger than before, but only by the slightest amount. It had fused with far too little Hong Meng Spiritual Qi, so there was almost no visible effect. Of course, because the weapon's essence had been forged from godhead essence, it was inherently stronger than other Sovereign Artifacts.
Even if another Sovereign had nurtured their Sovereign Artifact for trillions of years, it might still tremble from the impact upon colliding with the Void Breaker Divine Sword. But that was all.
Good materials did give one an advantage, but the artifact-refining methods of this world emphasized time and experience. Even a wooden blade nurtured by a Sovereign for tens of thousands of years could surpass a Godhead Weapon nurtured
