When the last of the Thunder Tribulation dispersed.
Qin Shujian withdrew his Heaven and Earth Manifestation, sat cross-legged atop one of the cities, and took the remaining spirit stones from his Storage Ring to replenish his true essence.
Unlike his earlier, brutal absorption, however.
This time, Qin Shujian only drew out the spiritual energy contained within the spirit stones without damaging their essence.
Half a day passed.
More than half the surrounding spirit stones had dimmed when Qin Shujian saw Su Zhan and Fang Yilan appear before him.
Immediately.
Qin Shujian put the spirit stones away as though nothing had happened, then stood and said with a faint smile, "I have fulfilled my task. The Four Cities have finally been forged. Although they lack xiantian embryos and could not reach the level of dao artifacts.
"I believe the Four Cities are not much weaker than two-mark dao artifacts."
Upon hearing this.
Both of them gave him peculiar looks.
Not much weaker than two-mark dao artifacts? That hardly covered it.
The moment the cities were completed, they had tested them with dao artifacts. In terms of defense, they were not the slightest bit inferior even to Four-Seal Dao Artifacts.
Pinnacle Spirit Weapons.
Although they surpassed the category of High Grade Spirit Weapons and had reached a level comparable to dao artifacts.
As Grand Councilors of the Directorate of Celestial Observations, how could they lack such basic knowledge?
Ordinary Pinnacle Spirit Weapons.
Could, at the very most, rival one- or two-mark dao artifacts.
Yet the Pinnacle Spirit Weapons Qin Shujian forged had directly reached a level comparable to Four-Seal Dao Artifacts. It was simply unheard of.
It was not that their experience was limited.
Rather, the human race had not produced such an accomplished Forge Master in tens of thousands of years.
