In a space far away from the god realm's treasury, an object was flying at an incredible speed of fifty times the speed of light, and this object was the rock fragment the Sky Hybrid Sect ancestor and disciples stood on and teleported away from the treasury. All the eight hundred disciples, including Solanky, sat cross-legged on the rock fragment and looked towards their ancestor, who sat in front of them with her back facing them and told them to listen up.
The ancestor then said, "All weapons and treasures are grouped into five tiers according to their quality and requirements. Starting from the bottom are the semi-divine artifacts. These are divided into two: the first is the high dominion artifact or treasure, and they are used by demi-gods or half-devils when wielding it is less taxing to the bodies, as the artifact itself can absorb a sliver of spiritual energy to amplify the power output of the weapon itself."
The ancestor waved her hand, and a missile and a railgun appeared from an independent space beside her, and she said, "The second level of this tier is called the conventional weapon. They are weapons created by mortals, and they cannot absorb spiritual energy. They can be operated by anyone who has a fair knowledge and skills to operate them. These weapons you see are all conventional weapons, but once such a weapon has a working engraving etched on it, it ceases to be a conventional weapon, and it's elevated to a higher level because of the mysteries of the engravings."
The ancestor waved her hand again, and the missile and railgun disappeared. She then tilted her head, and a barrier was formed around the space fragment, and they soared from fifty times the speed of light to ninety-five times. She said, "The next grade of treasure and artifact is called the divine artifact. These treasures are very common in the god realm, as it is the lowest of the bunch and is mostly used by weaker beings below the dimensional god level." The disciples exchanged glances and looked at the weapons and treasure they acquired in the treasure land.
The ancestor then said, "Do not worry; not all divine artifacts and treasures are the same." The disciples sighed in relief; the ancestor continued, These treasures are divided into three tiers, and each tier has a special cultivation requirement before its power can be fully unleashed, and if one doesn't meet the requirement, they only unleash a small amount of their power, or they can not at all."
The disciples started to murmur among themselves as they didn't know the tier of weapon they picked; the ancestor could sense their weariness from behind her and smiled. The ancestor then assured them that she was about to explain the tiers to them, and if they thought they weren't qualified enough to wield such a weapon, they could hand it over to the sect for something that suited them best.
The ancestor said, "There are three tiers of divine weapons, namely the high tier, mid-tier, and low tier." The disciples kept quiet to listen, as they were all eager to know the tier the treasures and artifacts they picked belonged to. The ancestor said, "The low tiers are weapons or treasures predominantly used by high-level gods, although they can also be used by elementary gods; effectiveness is greatly diminished in their hands because the amount of spiritual energy needed to wield them is only something beings above them can attain." The ancestor said, "The power of a high-level using a low-tier weapon makes them two times stronger than a regular high-level god, and they can easily overpower 100 elementary gods with it."
The disciples were elated because they all knew the lowest of the divine weapons could easily make them a tyrant back in the lower realm they came from, as they knew the lowest of the divine weapons was easily attained by anyone who could enter the treasure land of the god realm. The ancestor continued by saying, "If you want to know the type of weapon you acquired, check beneath the handle of the artifact or weapon; you will find two different symbols. In the case of divine artifacts, you will see the symbol of a triangle indicating that it is a divine treasure or artifact."
The disciples all checked to see if the weapons had that beneath them or a different symbol. One disciple asked, "Ancestor, I can also see two slanted stripes beside it. What does it mean?" The ancestor laughed and said, "Lucky you, the number of stripes determines the tier of the artifact; one stripe means it is a low tier, two stripes mean it is a mid-tier, and three stripes mean it is a high tier." The disciple who asked this was elated and proud to find out his weapon belonged to the mid-tier, but another disciple immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him, saying, "That means you won't be able to fully utilize its power until your strength meets the requirement." She and the other disciples laughed jokingly at him.
The ancestor smiled and said, "The next tier is the mid-tier. They are used by beings at the god emperor level, and they are very difficult to destroy for beings of the same level because the amount of spiritual energy they absorb is greater than the body of the cultivator or being, and it amplifies the strength of the user by five times, making them invincible against opponents with a lower-tier artifact. In the hands of a skilled high-level god, it makes them stand on par with a god emperor with a low-tier weapon."
The disciples who had this tier of weapon began to reveal themselves as they were ashamed to be ridiculed by their peers; the ancestor saw this and said, "Oh, so more than half of you acquired a mid-tier weapon." The disciples who acquired this weapon nodded with contempt. The ancestor said, "The last tier of the divine artifact is the high tier; they are mostly used by beings at the level of god of gods, and it amplifies their strength by six times, and it has some ability to partially defy the laws of the god realm."
"Which one of you has acquired such a weapon?" the ancestor asked, and then Solanky and a timid-looking girl raised their hands. The other disciples were shocked to see this; the ancestor requested them to take them out for her to inspect; they did so, and the artifacts were handed to the ancestor. She said, "Solanky, this dagger of yours was left behind by Stella, one of the founding ancestors of your Bayoka clan." She turned to look at the timid-looking girl and said, "Cilia, this whip was left by a good friend of mine during the battle in the void region with the devils."
The ancestor said, "I will keep these two high-tier divine weapons at the sect until the power of you two reaches the half-step into the level of god of gods, but I will gift the two of you a mid-tier weapon that exactly looks like the ones you offered up." The timid girl and Solanky nodded, respectively, and thanked the ancestor as two mid-tier weapons flew directly towards them.
The ancestor said, "Directly above the divine artifacts are the divine secret artifacts; they are mostly used by the dimensional beings and also divided into three similar tiers like the previous. The low tier is used by fourth-dimensional beings, and they further enhance their perception of the time of the space beneath them; the mid-tier is used by fifth-dimensional beings, and the high tier is used by sixth-dimensional beings, as their battles are very different and imperceptible to beings even at the fifth-dimensional level, let alone to you all who haven't fully grasped the laws of the god realm."
The rock fragment's speed reduced as they were nearing the Sky Hybrid Sect. The ancestor said, "We are nearing the sect. I will just brush the remaining grades, but I will send you full details of them to your sect virtual profiles, which you need to redeem with points. Take it as the first assignment from me. To gain points, you either break through to the high-level god or obtain ten spirit crystals from the beasts on the newbies continent." The newbies were a little downspirited, but the ancestor said, "I want you guys to use that as a motivation to improve upon your skills. The next of the grades is called the devil/god divine secret artifacts and the supreme divine rare source artifacts." Hearing the name of the last grade of the artifact with the description source included, the newbies were eager to know the kind of power that was above their invincible ancestor.
