Even God Artifacts Come in Different Grades

The weather isn't very good today. The sky was overcast early this morning, which doesn't seem like July weather. Plus, the wind was strong, and there was a sense that a storm was brewing.

"Something unusual must be going on!" On his way to the Mysterious Bookstore, a middle-aged cultivator looked up at the weather, fidgeting with his fingers and muttering to himself.

"Perhaps it's too hot, and the heavens are taking it too seriously, preparing to send down a heavy rain today," a passing cultivator remarked casually, continuing on his way without waiting for a reply. The weather was strange, but for cultivators like them, as long as the sky didn't fall, it didn't matter whether it was sunny and calm or a torrential downpour.

"No." The middle-aged cultivator, who had been counting on his fingers, stroked his beard, his eyes filled with doubt. He did not believe this strange weather was normal.

No matter how he tried to calculate, he couldn't figure out why the weather was so abnormal. In the end, he could only shake his head, follow the group, and head to the Mysterious Bookstore to witness the birth of the new book with everyone.

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded towards the Zhenbei. The Zhenbei was only so big, so it was impossible to accommodate everyone. Therefore, everyone could only line up towards the back. Many important figures above the Spirit Venerable level were unwilling to squeeze with so many people, so they simply flew into the air and used their Spiritual Power to support themselves to float in the sky and watch the birth of this new book.

Finally, apart from a few people who needed to stay behind, everyone in Dubian Town moved towards the Zhenbei. Looking down from the sky, the only places in the vast Dubian Town that were densely packed with people were the Zhenbei and the surrounding fields at the North Town Entrance; the rest of the town was deserted.

At the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore, Zhang Yunji had already set up a long table, and he and Luan Feng stood on either side of the table to warn their surroundings.

The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey also arrived, standing at the very front of the crowd, watching everything with longing eyes.

Time passed quickly, and soon the crowd had mostly gathered. Slowly, the sun reached the nine o'clock position.

At this moment, Ma Feifei led Yun Qingyang out of the Bookstore. Today, Ma Feifei was dressed very stylishly, wearing a white ninth-tier suit, a helmet on his head, and the Qingshuang Sword at his waist. Coupled with his fair and delicate face, which had become fair and delicate after nearly a year of pampering, he had the air of an Unparalleled gentleman.

Unfortunately, even though Ma Feifei was dressed so handsomely, no one paid any attention to him. Everyone's eyes were on Ma Feifei's right hand, or more precisely, on the red-covered book in his right hand.

"Journey to the West?" A sharp-eyed cultivator noticed the title written in small regular script on the cover and read it aloud in a low voice.

"Journey to the West the West? Does it mean Journey to the West?"

"It could also be a biographical book, with the protagonist named Journey to the West to the West)."

"That's unlikely, there's no one with the surname Xi," a young cultivator said.

"Why not? There's a book in the Bookstore with a character named Ximen Qing," a middle-aged man said.

"His surname is Ximen, not Xi. Didn't you see that everyone inside calls him Master Ximen?" an old man interjected.

"Oh, sir, you've read that book too?" a group of people asked, slightly surprised.

"Hmm... I only glanced at it a little bit," the old man replied calmly.

"Oh..." The crowd stared at the old man, their expressions a mixture of amusement and skepticism.

The old man blushed and was momentarily speechless. Fortunately, Ma Feifei had already arrived at the long table and drawn everyone's attention back to him; otherwise, the old man might have fled in panic.

At this moment, Ma Feifei stood in front of the long table, placed the copy of "Journey to the West" flat on it, and looked solemn.

Without any unnecessary words, Ma Feifei directly selected to open the world of the book "Journey to the West" in his mind.

'Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the world of Legendary-grade quality book.'

As the system notification sounded, the book "Journey to the West to the Journey to the West" emitted specks of golden light and slowly floated upwards, drawing everyone's attention as it ascended.

'Ding ding ding~'

The red cover was opened, and the pages were turned one by one.

'Whoosh~'

Ma Feifei transformed into a beam of light and shot into the book.

'Buzz~'

A beam of light shot into the sky, and the enormous projection appeared once again.

"Here we go!"

The hundreds of thousands of onlookers were shocked as they stared at the enormous black projection in mid-air.

'Ding ding ding~' Small golden characters appeared in the narration.

Book Title: Journey to the West

Quality: Legendary-grade quality, a masterpiece of gods and demons

Plot: The shopkeeper enters the world of "Journey to the West" in search of the Great Sage Set.

"So, above Epic-grade is Legendary-grade." Everyone realized this upon seeing the narration.

The quality of the new book is unknown to everyone; all that is known is that it should be of Epic-grade or higher, but the name of the quality remains a mystery. Now that the narrator has directly revealed the name of the new book's quality, it has saved everyone a lot of speculation.

"What is this Great Sage Set? It sounds pretty impressive," someone asked curiously.

I think it should be a set of divine artifacts.

"Definitely. Even the Epic-grade- quality 'Lotus Lantern' can yield a divine artifact. The Legendary-grade is even higher than the Epic-grade. And since the shop owner went in personally, it might even be better than a divine artifact."

"There are ranks on divine artifacts?" Someone suddenly asked this question, and everyone looked at each other, unsure how to answer.

On the Azure Dragon Continent, the highest ranks cultivators can know are divine artifacts, Divine Beast, divine formations, and the Immortal Realm. They don't know if there are higher ranks or levels above the Immortal Realm, and no one else can know either.

Because neither the Azure Dragon Chronicle nor the Ancient Secrets Records of the Grand Historian whether there were any higher levels than the Immortal Realm in ancient times, nor do they mention divine artifacts, Divine Beast, or divine formations.

So this question stumped everyone, even the great figures like the Spirit Saint and the Saint Chu who came to watch, all of whom fell into deep thought, pondering the question.

"Yes! Of course we have it!" At that moment, a sudden voice rang out, startling everyone, and all eyes turned to the source of the sound.

This is a masked man dressed in black.

Another masked man in black!

"He looks familiar! He seems to be the man in black who climbed to the top yesterday." Someone recognized him from the masked man's build and eyes.

"That's right, it's him!" Another masked man in black confirmed. He was the one who had been called a lunatic by this man in black yesterday, and his voice was very familiar.

In mid-air, Saint Chu looked at the masked man in black and frowned.

"He's actually at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint realm. Is he Sage Yan? Or perhaps Qin Sage?" Saint Chu glanced at Sage Qi beside him and noticed that he was also frowning as he looked at the masked man in black.

Seemingly sensing Saint Chu's gaze, Sage Qi transmitted his voice, "Brother Feng, have you guessed who he is?"

Saint Chu shook his head and replied telepathically, "I know Zhao Saint quite well. His cultivation is only at the Spirit Saint eighth stage peak realm, so it's obviously not him. Currently, the only people I know on the Azure Dragon Continent with the cultivation of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint are you, me, Sage Yan, Qin Sage, and Yin Yue. But judging from his aura, he doesn't match any of those people."

Sage Qi nodded and replied, "This person's blood and qi are surging, and his meridians are strange. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy seems very willing to be close to him, which seems to be different from ordinary people. I wonder what kind of cultivation technique he is practicing."

Upon hearing this, Saint Chu looked at the masked man in black again, his eyes narrowing as he examined him closely. The more he looked, the more puzzled he became.

The conversation continued, and since the projection hadn't appeared yet, everyone turned their attention to the man in black. Someone asked, "Did you know that there are ranks above divine artifacts?"

The masked man in black seemed surprised by the attention his words had garnered. Fortunately, his mask emboldened him, and he raised his voice, saying, "Of course. My mother once said that divine artifacts are divided into different grades. The lowest is the Lower-grade god artifact, followed by the Middle-grade god artifact, and then the Upper-grade god artifact. After the Upper-grade god artifact, there are also the supreme and Eternal god artifact."
