Chapter 607 - (Innate Spiritual Weapon Form) The Innate Spiritual Weapon that Gu Zuo desires

The smaller Blood Source Stone, having been nurtured for a longer period, was enveloped in a mass of bloody light. It seemed to be constantly refined, slowly stretching and thinning, faintly taking the shape of a flying dagger.
This flying dagger was only two inches long, entirely blood-red, with strange patterns shimmering on its blade. These patterns pulsed in sync with the bloody light, and with every flash, they emitted an endless sharp edge!
At the same time, the other Blood Source Stone also transformed quickly.
One end of it began to become rounded. It seemed about to split in the middle, but then only slightly dipped, forming two rounded ends, one larger than the other. Gradually, a small section protruded from the end with the smaller belly, and the tip of this small section began to concave. Step by step, starting from this small section, the entire inside seemed to be corroded, and the shape became clearly defined.
It looked… like a still somewhat crude, blood-red gourd.
Gu Zuo watched, his eyes widening involuntarily.
‘A gourd… a flying dagger?’
‘What kind of spiritual weapon set was this?’
Then, instinctively, Gu Zuo suddenly recalled a mythological story he had encountered in the modern world.
It seemed that in that story, a similar magic treasure had appeared—an incredibly terrifying treasure capable of slaying immortals and gods—the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger!
Thinking this, Gu Zuo couldn’t help but look closer.
The next moment, the two spiritual weapons that had already taken shape underwent a change!
The blood-red flying dagger suddenly spun, transforming into a streak of bloody light. It shot like a gust of wind toward the gourd, and when it reached the gourd, it abruptly lunged, immediately rushing inside!
Subsequently, the gourd also erupted in an intense bloody light. The light flowed over its body like a tide, surging wave after wave. The gourd’s mouth continuously spat out wisps of blood mist, pure and carrying a terrifyingly sharp aura! Moreover, every time the bloody light surged, the sharp aura intensified by a point. It was clear that the flying dagger inside the gourd was also gradually growing stronger!
Gu Zuo took a deep breath.
This was his Big Brother’s Innate Spiritual Weapon! Truly extraordinary!
Then, Gongyi Tianheng casually made a gesture. The blood gourd once again turned into a streak of bloody light and quickly darted into his Dantian area, instantly entering his Qi Sea to be nurtured.
And when the blood gourd vanished, the bloody halo that had nearly illuminated the entire room also disappeared.
Gu Zuo smiled and stepped forward: “Congratulations, Big Brother, on forging your Innate Spiritual Weapon!”
Gongyi Tianheng returned a smile: “I also have to thank Ah Zuo’s awe-inspiring reputation. Otherwise, for your big brother to acquire these materials, it would have required a lot more effort.”
Gu Zuo was silent.
‘Could he please stop mentioning the word “awe-inspiring” to me!’
As a man, he didn’t actually hate being famous, but that damn nickname—he didn’t know who coined it—it made him feel genuinely embarrassed deep down!
Every time he heard someone mention it, his scalp tingled, and he got goosebumps all over…
Gongyi Tianheng was merely teasing his little Pharmacist. Seeing Gu Zuo’s conflicted expression, he stopped bothering him. Then, he rubbed the top of Gu Zuo’s head: “Currently, the spiritual weapons your big brother can refine include the Heavenly Human Dao and the Hungry Ghost Dao. The former has the Sun Stone, and the latter has the Glutton Horn. Both are excellent materials, so there’s no need to look for others.”
In the three realms—Immortal Realm, Atomic Realm, and Ascendant Realm—Gongyi Tianheng could manifest a clone in each realm, and each clone could wield an Innate Spiritual Weapon.
To be honest, compared to others, he held a significant advantage.
Gu Zuo was startled: “…What about the Qi Sea of the Human Dao?”
Gongyi Tianheng pondered briefly: “This Dao can also refine an Innate Spiritual Weapon, but since your big brother’s Six Dao techniques is not yet fully assembled, I will temporarily set it aside. It would be more complete to consider this Dao after the others are finished.”
Gu Zuo realized.
Indeed, the Human Dao was his Big Brother’s true self and the most important Dao, so it was best not to make a hasty decision.
Then, he became curious: “What does Big Brother plan to refine for the Heavenly Human Dao and the Hungry Ghost Dao?”
Gongyi Tianheng said: “The Heavenly Human Dao will naturally be refined into a great bow.”
Gu Zuo agreed wholeheartedly; that’s what he had guessed, too.
Gongyi Tianheng continued: “And the Hungry Ghost Dao will be refined into a Sky-Swallowing Horn.”
Gu Zuo was surprised: “…What is a Sky-Swallowing Horn?”
Gongyi Tianheng’s eyes flickered: “As your big brother envisions it, this horn can retreat to swallow everything and advance to expel infinite force. It should be an excellent weapon of war.”
Gu Zuo tried to imagine it, and his expression changed slightly.
If it could truly function as his Elder Brother imagined, it would be too terrifying!
However, while Gongyi Tianheng had the concept, the actual nurturing process required more time to further consider the structure and every detail before starting. After all, the refinement of an Innate Spiritual Weapon, much like the martial artist themselves, benefits from a solid and profound foundation, allowing for greater potential for advancement and, eventually, the possibility of evolving into an Emperor-grade Weapon.
At this point, Gongyi Tianheng asked Gu Zuo: “Ah Zuo, now that half of your big brother’s Innate Spiritual Weapons are underway, do you have any thoughts on your own spiritual weapon?”
Gu Zuo’s expression immediately became a bit conflicted: “Well, I do have some ideas…”
Gongyi Tianheng smiled faintly: “Ah Zuo can speak freely. If there’s anything you’re uncertain about, your big brother can study it with you.”
Gu Zuo became a little embarrassed: “I was thinking, my spiritual weapon also needs to work with my psyche power, but my attack power is already very strong, so it would be better if this spiritual weapon were defensive…”
In fact, he truly felt that the wheel inside his head still had many extremely powerful functions that hadn’t been discovered. Aside from anything else, just the six grids on the wheel seemed to have their own wonderful uses, but his current psyche cultivation was not high enough to utilize them yet. Furthermore, there were many other aspects of the wheel that could be transformed, which needed further exploration.
And these undiscovered parts were almost all related to offense…
Therefore, defense was a major issue.
Gu Zuo’s immediate thought was actually to refine a mobile palace as his second spiritual weapon.
That’s right, the kind of palace like the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall.
As mentioned before, the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall was inherited from a predecessor, and it contained an Emperor-grade Spiritual Weapon that he didn’t particularly like and who didn’t particularly like him. Therefore, he would have to abandon it sooner or later—at the very least, it could never be his own Innate Spiritual Weapon. He even suspected that the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall itself might have once been the Innate Emperor-grade Weapon of its previous owner.
Gu Zuo was somewhat particular about the matter of Innate Emperor-grade Weapons.
However, Gu Zuo had almost come to regard the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall as his and his Big Brother’s “home” in this world, and he had long been accustomed to having such an item accompanying them, ensuring that no matter where they went, they would never be without a place to stay. If he were to abandon the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall, both he and his Big Brother would certainly feel very unaccustomed.
So, why not refine a “home” himself?
At that time, he and his Big Brother could personally arrange and refine every inch of it to suit their own wishes. Wouldn’t that be better than the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall?
It was obvious, though, how difficult it would be to refine an Innate Spiritual Weapon into a palace. At the very least, some functions of the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall—such as traveling through the primordial chaos and freely adjusting its size—must be included. To have these two functions, he would require a large amount of exotic minerals and rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
It could be said that it would be… extremely expensive.
Just thinking about it made Gu Zuo feel somewhat overwhelmed.
A long road ahead…
Gongyi Tianheng, after hearing Gu Zuo’s words, actually smiled: “If Ah Zuo is happy, there is nothing wrong with building a mobile palace. No matter how difficult it is, our lives are still very long. Slowly gathering rare and precious treasures to refine it will not be hard. Ah Zuo, don’t overthink it; just follow your heart. As for the rest, your big brother will handle it.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zuo’s face turned red: “Big Brother…”
Gongyi Tianheng found his expression extremely endearing, so he lowered his head, kissed him on the lips, and then kissed the side of his cheek: “Rest assured.”
Gu Zuo felt very calm inside.
That’s right. It was his own spiritual weapon. He could refine whatever he wanted and didn’t need to overthink it at all. So what if the refinement was difficult? His Big Brother would be with him anyway, and even the process of gathering rare treasures would undoubtedly be a pleasant one.
As they thought this, their minds stirred, and they both appeared inside the Medicinal Celestial Grand Hall.
On the stone bed, little Changsheng was wearing only a belly wrap, lying on his back with his limbs spread out, sound asleep. His little arms were fair and tender like lotus roots, and his chubby little face trembled slightly with each breath.
‘He is truly… adorable.’
Gu Zuo’s gaze instantly softened, and he couldn’t help but say, “Big Brother, I’m going to refine some agar for him. Why don’t you go hold him?”
Gongyi Tianheng smiled gently and walked toward little Changsheng: “Alright.”
The agar was something Gu Zuo had developed after several studies, meticulously refining it from several kinds of spiritual medicine and rare wonders of heaven and earth. It had taken countless hours of Gu Zuo’s effort and was confirmed to ensure that little Changsheng had sufficient, impurity-free nutrition. More importantly, little Changsheng loved eating it and hadn’t grown tired of it after many days.
However, the medicinal ingredients for the agar were not easily obtained. At least one ingredient, the Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Marrow, was extremely rare and could only be purchased through special channels.
Fortunately, little Changsheng’s appetite wasn’t large yet; otherwise, the money spent on this—the resources exchanged—would be an astronomical figure.
Gu Zuo was completely unsparing.
The child of him and his Big Brother certainly deserved the best.
In the future, little Changsheng would surely grow into a person who might not completely conform to his and his Big Brother’s expectations, but who would, for himself, be someone he could face without guilt!
