"Since the esteemed guest is already a Third Realm Cultivator, crafting a weapon now requires considering its long-term use, especially for use after becoming a Realm-Breaking Celestial and entering the Extraordinary Tier, as weapons from the previous Mortal Cultivation Tier can no longer suffice.

Once you break through to become a Celestial Being, you must understand how to utilize the Power of Heavenly Dao Rules, so crafting a weapon requires forethought into these aspects.

Therefore, the difference between weapons used by Extraordinary Tier Cultivators and those used by Mortal Cultivators lies here. Weapons for Extraordinary Tier Cultivators often use Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and not ordinary ones at that; they must be materials capable of containing Heavenly Dao Rules and exerting the power of Heaven and Earth.

Our Ghost Race Cultivators’ path frequently involves using and understanding Heavenly Dao Rules, which often do not stray from the count of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—these Five Elements are the basic count of Heavenly Dao Rules, which, from another perspective, also cover all rules between Heaven and Earth.

The power of the Five Elements, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The Metal element signifies sharpness; weapons crafted with it focus on keenness, suitable for direct strikes, breaking the opponent’s weapon, and piercing the defenses of the opponent’s Magical Artifact.

The Wood element signifies vitality; using materials with the wood attribute allows the weapon to naturally attune to the rhythm of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Good materials can even assist the owner in regaining energy, and during combat, wood attribute weapons can often let the owner absorb and recover the depletion of Primordial Qi on their own.

The Water element signifies softness and endurance; although the water attribute is soft, it endures without dispersing and excels at using softness to overcome hardness. Although direct attacks may lack, it can seize opportunities in the opponent’s Primordial Qi flow during attacks. As they say, water has no constant form; using softness to conquer hardness, the longer the battle, the more durable it is, conducive to prolonged engagements.

The Fire element signifies slaughter and strong attack, with fierce firepower, overwhelming force, and fire attribute Spells often having astonishing explosive power, with a pressing momentum and strong, fiery attack.

The Earth element signifies heaviness; it can harness the power of terrain, mobilize the power of the earth to enhance defense, and also reinforce the weapon’s own heaviness. Therefore, earth attribute weapons often choose heavy weapons, war hammers, axes, or broad-bladed swords.

Additionally, out of the Five Elements, there are some derived branch attributes, like Ice, which is actually a variant of the Water element. Similarly, the Lightning attribute aligns more with Metal power..."

As he spoke, this disciple eloquently continued, opening the box in front of him and taking out pieces of materials that Chen Yan didn’t recognize.

These were all materials containing different forces of the Five Elements, with one or two examples each of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, along with some derived branches, such as Ice and Lightning...

The table was laid with more than ten pieces of materials.

For a moment, the table was filled with a shimmering light, clearly all fine materials of note.

"If the esteemed guest wishes to craft a handy weapon, first consider, after breaking through to become a Celestial, which path do you plan to take—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth? You must choose one."

Chen Yan listened, pondered briefly, then asked: "Can I only choose one?"

This disciple was taken aback, but the Golden Saber looked at Chen Yan, saying slowly: "You can also choose two. However, human strength is sometimes finite; to understand the Heavenly Dao and to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, even a genius among Cultivators finds it difficult to achieve much on a single path in a lifetime.

Although among the Cultivators I’ve met, some do practice two of the Five Elements simultaneously, they are exceptionally rare."

Chen Yan closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Then... what about wanting all Five Elements at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Saber was momentarily stunned.

The disciple couldn’t help but say: "Does the esteemed guest mean you want all Five Elements?"

"Hmm, is that possible?"

"Theoretically possible, but practically, not suitable," the disciple quickly replied: "The Five Elements have mutual generation and mutual restraint!

If you choose two attributes, like choosing Earth and then Wood, the so-called Earth generates Wood. With the Earth attribute as the foundation, the power of the Wood attribute can be amplified.

Similar combinations include Fire and Wood, with Wood as a base to enhance Fire.

However, you must know that the Five Elements also have mutual restraints. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Some attributes don’t benefit from being together but instead restrain each other.

For instance, if you use the Water attribute, it’s not advisable to use the Fire attribute at the same time. Otherwise..."

He paused, glancing at Chen Yan: "Of course, nothing is absolute. If you were a pinnacle Great Power, perhaps you could practice all Five Elements and use the exquisite forces of the rules to manipulate them, avoiding the restraints among the Five Elements through mastery, while also enhancing the mutually generating effects.

However, speaking of practicing all Five Elements is easier said than done!"

His expression looked somewhat poor, and his gaze at Chen Yan was complex.

Clearly, he was a bit dissatisfied with Chen Yan’s ’grandiose’ talk.

But Chen Yan was personally arranged by Lord Sword Master of the East Sea, as commanded by the ancestors.

If it were any other guest, perhaps with Golden Blade Master’s status, his disciples would have already rebuked Chen Yan for his nonsense.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said: "If I want all Five Elements..."

He paused here, organized his thoughts, and said slowly: "What I mean is, not wanting them all right now, but in crafting the weapon, I want to leave a possibility, leave room, in case I reach a certain Realm in my cultivation and wish to cultivate all Five Elements in the future..."

The disciple showed a disdainful look but refrained from speaking due to Chen Yan’s status, only sighing quietly with his head bowed.

"It’s not entirely impossible," the Golden Blade Master suddenly said this.

His face was stern, and it was unclear whether his usual cold expression naturally or if it was aggravated by Chen Yan’s seemingly ignorant remarks, he replied indifferently: "But if you wish to meet your requirements, these materials won’t suffice. There must be another condition met."
