Chapter 1775: Dao Fetus Ranks (1/2)
The ma.s.s continuously rained compliments about this prenatal fetus. It wasn’t that rare in the thirteen continents but one coming from a red fir tree was a different story.
Dao fetuses were also divided into prenatal and postnatal; the former being much stronger. However, prenatal started at Dao Sovereign and Golden Inlaid for the lowest cultivation and grade.
The biggest difference was that prenatal fetuses already had chaos and primordial energies. To keep it simple, the fetus itself had cultivated.
Postnatal fetuses didn’t have any and started from zero. After fusing with divine metals and ores to become a dao weapon, its cultivation would rise with its master or creator.
Thus, after the cultivator reached Dao Sovereign, their weapon would also reach Dao Sovereign and enjoyed the power of this realm.
This wasn’t the case for prenatal fetuses. After coming out, it already had the power of this realm and would still grow with its master after becoming a weapon.
For example, a Dao Sovereign prenatal fetus would still have the power of a Dao Sovereign, even if its user is at a weaker realm. When the user became stronger than a sovereign, the weapon would grow proportionally stronger.
In short, its user and a prenatal weapon would have double the power at the same realm versus a postnatal weapon since there were two overlapping cultivations for the first case. This was the reason why prenatal weapons were superior and much more precious. Powerful cultivators would all pick prenatal fetuses.
Thus, Li Qiye’s current fetus was the lowest of all the prenatal fetuses at Golden Inlaid and Dao Sovereign.
“Your insight is amazing. I am truly impressed.” Li Langxuan cupped his fist and praised.
This wasn’t just simple luck, it was clearly based on skill.
Li Qiye smiled and casually grabbed the three Dao Sage weapons placed for the bet by the crown prince.
“Wait a minute!” The prince held the weapons and shouted.
Li Qiye glanced at him and said flatly: “Don’t gamble if you can’t handle losing gracefully.”
“Who says you’re the winner?” The prince uttered: “Heaven Bestowment is higher than Orange Martial. When the Heaven Bestowment postnatal fetus reaches Dao Sovereign, who knows which one will be strong!”
This was indeed the case in terms of quality but the actual strength of both at the same cultivation was hard to gauge. It might be up to the users’ abilities.
“Is that so?” Li Qiye smiled and said: “There is indeed an argument for the resulting dap weapons but we’re talking about dao fetuses, not weapons. If you can’t even understand this much, stop betting and humiliating yourself.”
“You!” The prince’s expression became ugly. He was panicking after losing even though victory and torturing the mortal were so near so he had forgotten this much.
“Your Highness, in terms of dao fetuses, a prenatal one commands a higher price than a postnatal at the workshop.” Langxuan reminded him.
The postnatal Heaven Bestowment required gestation and refinement before becoming stronger. However, a prenatal was already powerful from the start; this justified the higher price.
