"Everyone, what kind of staff-type weapon are we actually trying to forge here? You've all said so much, but the problem is, can one staff hold this many Spirit Bones? If it were a divine artifact, perhaps it could. But with so many attributes, could an ordinary weapon withstand them? Could it even be forged?"

Scarlet King spoke at this moment.

"I agree with that view as well. A divine artifact should indeed be able to take all these aspects into account, but the problem is that the materials on Douluo Continent cannot support so many considerations at once. If it were forged in the God Realm, it should be able to accommodate everyone's ideas and the like, but... with Douluo Continent's materials, it would probably be very difficult to forge a weapon that balances so many aspects."

Ten Thousand Demon King also said this at that moment.

"Indeed. We've been thinking too much. We should take the actual situation into account. After all, with Douluo Continent's materials, it really is very difficult to forge a weapon that covers so many aspects."

Gu Yuena said.

"Sister Gu Yuena, I want to ask, you should have a divine artifact too, right? How did you forge a divine artifact?"

Phoenix King spoke at this moment. Although he had read Douluo Continent, he could no longer remember some of the details clearly.

He remembered that Gu Yuena did have divine artifacts, such as the Silver Dragon Spear.

But he could no longer remember exactly where this divine artifact had come from, and Douluo Continent seemed to revise its settings often. The setting for the Silver Dragon Spear had also changed several times.

As the Silver Dragon King's natal divine artifact, the Silver Dragon Spear possessed ultimate sharpness, armor-piercing ability, and the sacred pressure of the dragon race, specifically countering Evil Soul Masters and dark creatures. Its core trait was abyssal devouring, which could indiscriminately devour a target's vitality, Soul Power, elements, and mental power, then purify them and feed them back to the wielder, enabling endurance or conversion between offense and defense.

Its combat techniques included close-combat attacks that spat out a three-foot spear radiance, the sound-wave disruption of "Dragon Roar," and the impact-dissolving "Dragon Spits Pearl." Because it was essentially a staff, it could greatly enhance a mage's control over the seven great elements and allow the use of high-level profound skills that fused elements, such as "Water Absorption Wave Devour" and "Whistling Wind Killing Intent."

"Little Phoenix, the Silver Dragon Spear was refined from the Dragon God's forty-ninth rib. Its whole body is silver-white, with delicate hexagonal scale patterns, and there are twelve grooves at the spear tip. It has the ability to transform, and can turn into a staff form with a seven-colored gemstone embedded at the top.

"It is indeed very powerful, but the problem is that I did not forge it. It was refined from the Dragon God's forty-ninth rib, so I was not the one who made it. Do you understand? So I also have no way to forge a divine artifact. Although my injuries are almost healed now, I still don't know how to forge divine artifacts. I have no experience forging divine artifacts at all."

"This..." Phoenix King was a little disappointed at this moment.

"I think we can compromise. For now, don't forge an overly powerful weapon first. Wait until Phoenix King, that is, Little Phoenix, is able to become a god, then add these items into it. Perhaps then you'll be able to successfully forge a powerful divine artifact." Medicine Elder proposed a compromise at this moment, suggesting that they not forge the weapon too powerfully for now. After Phoenix King became a god, forging a powerful weapon then would also work.

"I think that works. Medicine Elder, I'll tell you clearly: divine artifacts are also divided into ranks. Ordinary divine officials do not have divine artifacts. Third-rank gods possess quasi-divine artifacts—these are weapons on the verge of becoming divine artifacts. Second-rank gods possess divine artifacts, which already fall within the category of divine artifacts. First-rank gods possess pseudo-Super Divine Artifacts, existences infinitely close to Super Divine Artifacts. Only God Kings are qualified to possess Super Divine Artifacts.

"If Little Phoenix becomes a god, he is also destined to become a God King, or even an existence stronger than a God King. So by then, he should be able to forge a Super Divine Artifact.

"But there is one more point. The materials required to forge a Super Divine Artifact are also especially costly and troublesome, so more and better materials will be necessary."

When Phoenix King heard Gu Yuena say this, he understood. After all, the Douluo series had indeed mentioned that forging a Super Divine Artifact was especially difficult. Although the Sea God possessed a Super Divine Artifact, it had been forged by gathering the faith of the sea.

It required so much. A Super Divine Artifact could only be made with the faith of the sea, which showed that producing a Super Divine Artifact was an extremely troublesome matter.

"In short, we shouldn't demand that an incredibly powerful weapon be forged right away. First, forge a suitable weapon for Phoenix King to use. Later, let Phoenix King take it slowly. If he wants to raise the weapon's level in the future, he can handle it himself.

"That would also happen to temper his own practical ability."

No one said anything against Medicine Elder's words. After all, Phoenix King also had to grow stronger gradually, and he had to rely on himself.

"Then how about we first forge a weapon that possesses elemental abilities and can grow larger and smaller, extend and shorten?"

Di Tian made this suggestion at this moment.

"That idea is indeed very good. As a weapon for self-defense, it's already quite good. That should be enough."

"Senior Bo Saixi, up ahead is Slaughter City. Slaughter City is generally a place where Fallen Soul Masters are imprisoned. Those Fallen Soul Masters are not to be trifled with. Fallen Soul Masters inside will also kill one another, so in Slaughter City, aside from us, do not trust anyone. Even the manager, the King of Slaughter, or those lackeys of the King of Slaughter—do not trust them either. They are not good people. At any moment, they might pull some scheme and get you killed."

The Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder said.

The main reason was that Bo Saixi was Tang Chen's beloved. They were also thinking that if Tang Chen and Bo Saixi got married in the future, they would definitely be able to give birth to a Twin Martial Souls genius with a top-tier Martial Soul and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

At that time, even if Tang San was never born, perhaps the Clear Sky Sect would still have an existence capable of becoming a god, and one personally born by Bo Saixi at that.

Perhaps that child would be even more suited to becoming the Sea God than Tang San. The reborn elders of the Clear Sky Sect had more or less some opinions about Tang San as well; they simply had not voiced them.

After all, Tang San's conduct was a little ugly. Tang San had previously said that his father was at fault and that he was willing to atone for his father's sins. But the problem was that after he became stronger, he directly said his father had done nothing wrong. If Tang San had stated from the beginning that his father was not wrong and that Spirit Hall was tyrannical, then although he might not have been especially popular, once Tang San grew stronger, everyone still would not have said anything, because he had always been straightforward and worthy of trust.

But when Tang San was weak, he took every fault onto himself; when he was powerful, he believed he had done nothing wrong at all.

Saying such things to outsiders, to enemies, or to people from other clans would not have mattered much. But the problem was, saying this to the Clear Sky Sect's own people was unacceptable.

So this was also where the elders of the Clear Sky Sect were somewhat dissatisfied with Tang San. Therefore, if someone could replace Tang San, that would be best.
