The ritual artifact in the Old Woman's hand was a damaged, incomplete ritual artifact—a Chen-Rank Ritual Artifact!
Ritual artifacts came in complete and incomplete forms, and were further divided into four ranks.
Sun, Moon, Star, and Chen.
Among them, Sun-Rank Ritual Artifacts were complete ritual artifacts, possessing earth-shattering, star-shifting might that reached through heaven and earth!
Moon, Star, and Chen were incomplete ritual artifacts!
Ritual artifacts contained Heaven and Earth Origin Power. They were the only things capable of sealing Eerie Entities.
However, this came with a fatal flaw!
When an Eerie Entity was sealed within a ritual artifact, the Heaven and Earth Origin Power that originally belonged to the artifact would be absorbed by the Eerie Entity.
Once the sealed Eerie Entity had absorbed all of the ritual artifact's Heaven and Earth Origin Power, the artifact would lose its original strength and become junk.
And after the contained Eerie Entity absorbed the ritual artifact's Heaven and Earth Origin Power, it would become even stronger than before.
Thus, using ritual artifacts to seal supernatural Eerie Entities was itself a practice of draining the pond to catch the fish, drinking poison to quench thirst.
This was also why no one chose to use ritual artifacts to seal supernatural Eerie Entities.
But clearly, the people of the Pure World White Lotus Sect would not consider such things.
The Old Woman abruptly poured her own inner qi into the ritual artifact in her hand.
Only martial artists of the Inner Qi Realm and above could use ritual artifacts, using Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.
As the Old Woman's inner qi continuously surged forth, the seemingly ordinary broken bronze bowl bloomed with an obscure, profound radiance in the darkness.
The seemingly ordinary glow concealed power that made the Old Woman's heart pound in alarm.
