Of course, the path of a heretic cultivator had its benefits, but naturally, it also had its troublesome parts.
For example, with rule weapons assembled this way, the rules were chosen by oneself, not walked out step by step.
So the weapon had rules, but the person had not taken that step.
It was just like that line in the explanation: just because you had obtained a rule weapon did not mean you had mastered the rule.
If you wanted to master a rule, and not merely use a rule weapon, then you had to find a way to spread that rule, letting others help you complete the Rule Path and pay back the debt you had failed to settle originally.
And the skills spread this way would more or less carry some rules within them. In the eyes of ordinary people, these were divine skills.
Back then, Lord Jun had almost completed the Red Equipment version of the Ghost King Cloak, only for Death to directly call a halt to it. In the end, he was left with only one Way of Earth in hand, while the rest were either divided out or he no longer dared continue making them.
It was also because of this kind of rule strengthening from assembled weapons.
After Gu Xi assembled the Phantom Divine Bow this time, he knew there were already seven Phantom Divine Bows that had been assembled. His was the eighth.
As for rule-level Ghost King Cloaks, there were two in total, and the skills spread from these two Ghost King Cloaks were precisely Death City and Death Avatar among the Three Divine Skills of Death.
As for whether Death Lord was a skill someone had accidentally mastered like Death Script, Gu Xi was not too clear on that point.
