Establishing an acquisition point in the Underworld caused Tiande’s backer to spend a lot of resources . However, they still had to do it . This was because the Underworld had plenty of treasures that the Cultivation Realm needed .
Normally, lower realms wouldn’t have much treasures that Cultivators would fancy . This was because the environment of the Cultivation Realm and lower realms were fundamentally different . Therefore, treasures normally wouldn’t appear in the lower realms .
However, the Underworld was different . This was a plane that was bordering pure yin . Such a place could give birth to valuable yin attribute treasures . These treasures has huge uses in the Cultivation Realm .
Tiande’s identity in the Cultivation Realm was a mere battle corpse . However, his backer painstakingly made him go to the Underworld . He was selected because he was fairly weak . And after he was refined to strengthen him a bit, he was sent to the Underworld in order to obtain the plane’s treasures .
Tiande’s actions in the Underworld were controlled by the person behind him . It was precisely because of this that Tiande was able to direct the Neutral Alliance to do business as well as keep the plane’s power balance . His backers were good at this aspect .
However, everything changed with Zhao Hai’s arrival . Zhao Hai’s strength and the number of his Undead was beyond their imagination . He was able to become a supreme power in the Underworld in a short time . Within that short time, Zhao Hai completely destroyed the calculations that Tiande made . The situation that they had maintained for many years have been completely destroyed .

It was for this reason that they wanted to have a discussion with Zhao Hai, hoping that Zhao Hai would give them autonomy . They thought that Zhao Hai wouldn’t have any connections with the Cultivation Realm .
But to their dismay, not only was Zhao Hai connected to the Cultivation Realm, he was also unafraid of gaining more enemies . They didn’t think that Zhao Hai would actually dare to be so bold against people from the Cultivation Realm . He was even planning to go against them and contend for the ownership of the Underworld .
Before long, the transmission formation flashed with brilliant lights . A rolled beast skin appeared in the middle of the formation . Tiande immediately took the beast skin and read its contents: “You must protect our position in the Underworld . In a while we would be passing a few weapons to you . Use these weapons to defend against Zhao Hai . It would be best if you could kill him and completely control the Underworld . ”
At this moment, the formation flashed once more . This time, a pile of weapons appeared . The weapons numbered several hundred . They weren’t big, there were swords that were at the size of a hairpin .
However, Tiande knew that these were weapons from an upper realm, and they were very strong . The weapons of the Underworld wouldn’t be able to contend against these .
Tiande immediately took the weapons from the formation . After that, the formation flashed once more, another pile of weapons was seen . Before long, Tiande had taken out about 3000 weapons from the formation .

When the transmission formation stopped shining, Tiande took another beast skin and wrote, “My Lord can feel relieved . This subordinate will surely kill Zhao Hai and protect the Underworld . ”
After sending the beast skin, Tiande took the weapons to the hall below . Then he called over his subordinates and told them about the uses of the weapons . After that, Tiande had the stronger Undead pick the weapons for themselves
Naturally, the Undead wouldn’t be polite and picked the weapons they most liked . Although these weapons looked small, they would enlarge as soon as energy was injected to them . Moreover, the Undead didn’t need to use their hands to wield the weapons . The weapons could fly in the air and attack enemies from several li(0 . 5km) away
It can be said that if one’s spiritual force was strong enough, then they would be able to send their weapons hundreds of li to kill their enemy . Naturally, the spiritual force needed to control these weapons was quite huge, and the requirements to make it fly was even bigger . Even if these Undead had great weapons, the most they could control the weapons would be several li ahead . Also, they can launch their weapons no more than five times . If they attacked more than that, then the weapon might not be able to return .
But despite these limitations, the weapons still improved their strengths by at least threefold . This was enough to tip the scales of a war .
However, what they didn’t know was the fact that everything that just happened had fallen into Zhao Hai’s eyes . After vanishing and returning to the Space, Zhao Hai opened the monitor to see what Tiande and the others would do . Zhao Hai believed that after Guli said those words, Tiande would immediately ask for instructions from his backers . And it seems like he guessed correctly . After asking for guidance, Tiande was able to gain a lot of weapons from the Cultivation Realm .
When Zhao Hai saw these weapons, his expression turned dark as he coldly snorted and said, “You want to kill me using those weapons? Continue dreaming . ”
Laura and the others weren’t by Zhao Hai’s side, they were still busy with the Processing Machine . However, Zhao Hai didn’t care about it . He waved his hand, then a map appeared on the monitor . On this map were small points . These dots were places that Zhao Hai wanted to scour, the places under the Dark Temple where the Heart Defending Clan buried their treasure rooms .
From the inheritance he gained from the giant heart, there were many treasures hidden in the Dark Temple’s territory . Some of these treasures were ores while some were plant essences . These things were prepared by the Heart Defending Clan, therefore they wouldn’t expire after a long time .
And besides these things, there were five treasure rooms that had magic artifacts inside . However, even if the artifacts were refined to an advanced level, they had yet to undergo the last step, so they were still incomplete .
Zhao Hai also learned the Heart Defending Clan’s refinement process . From the clan’s records, refining treasures was divided into four stages . These stages were: Smelting, Tempering, Forming, and Spirit Attachment .
Smelting and Tempering were the simplest steps . As long as one had the material, then one could smelt it with the appropriate flame . The length of smelting affected the quality of the weapon .
As for tempering, there were plenty of methods to do so . The simplest way was to use a hammer to temper the metal . But generally, this method could only be applied when making low-level equipment . As for high-level items, one generally used the spiritual force in addition to their own strength in order to temper the materials . Materials hammered using this method would become stronger .
The third step wasn’t so simple . If one wanted to make a personalized weapon, then Forming was very important . The weapons used by each person were different . Even if two identical blades were handed to two people, the way they use it would be different . In the end, after numerous uses, the blades would wear in accordance to their user’s habits .
If one wanted to make a weapon for himself, then they would need to be careful in the forming process . One must make a weapon that one was accustomed to . This way, one would not need to take a long time to use the weapon to their full potential .
The last step, Spirit Attachment, was the most difficult part in refining weapons . The spirit attached to the weapon would determine its level . Low-level items, categorized as 1st – 3rd level artifacts, couldn’t be attached with spirits . These weapons were limited by their materials . Because of this, artifacts up to the 3rd level were called low-level magic artifacts . The Heart Defending Clan deemed these artifacts as Inferior-grade artifacts .
But starting from the 4th-6th level, artifacts would be able to hold spirits . As for these weapons, only low level spirit souls could be attached . These souls would act just like puppets, listening to any instructions but couldn’t think for themselves . Such artifacts were called Intermediate-grade artifacts .
Artifacts on the 7th-9th level were called Advanced-grade artifacts . These artifacts can be attached with high-ranked souls . After Spirit Attachment, these artifacts would have autonomy and would be able to absorb energy from the surroundings . Aside from helping their masters attack, they could also aid their masters in their cultivation . These weapons were very formidable .
Above 7th-9th artifacts were items that were called Great Treasures . These treasures also had spirits inside them . Moreover, the wisdom of these spirits was very high . Great treasures were items that choose their masters instead of the other way around . They were leagues better than 9th-level artifacts . After being made, these treasures would then be able to freely choose their masters . Naturally, creating these Great Treasures needed world-shaking materials as well as difficult manufacturing methods . After years upon years of effort, the Heart Defending Clan managed to make five of these treasures . However, of these five, four of them were destroyed in the great war while the last treasure received great damage . That treasure was the cauldron that was now in Zhao Hai’s hands . And since the artifact’s spirit was seriously damaged, it can be said that it was an incomplete Great Treasure .
The magic artifacts that the Heart Defending Clan had in their treasure rooms were 7th-9th level artifacts . However, these artifacts didn’t have spirits . But once these items undergoes Spirit Attachment, they would then be able to demonstrate the strength of Advanced-grade Artifacts .
From what Tiande told his subordinates, Zhao Hai was able to tell that the weapons sent through transmission formations didn’t have spirits inside . In other words, Intermediate-grade and Advanced-grade weapons couldn’t be transported . This means that Tiande only had Inferior-grade artifacts in his hands .
