High-level Spirit Treasure equipment, when crafted, always considers the possibility of an Artifact Spirit emerging in the future; therefore, Artifact Refiners will initially incorporate inscriptions to control the Artifact Spirit, allowing the treasure’s owner to maintain complete control even after the spirit emerges.

Otherwise, if the Artifact Spirit that emerges becomes disobedient and turns against the owner, what value would these treasures have? Could the Artifact Refiner’s business even continue?

"If that’s the case, it isn’t a bad plan," Wang Shouzhe said, looking at Ji Wuchen. "Though it’s not completely foolproof in terms of safety, as long as more attention is paid, it shouldn’t be a big problem. If Senior is willing, this would be my final bottom line."

Ji Wuchen pondered for a moment before finally sighing and saying, "This sword is named [Time]. It is a Divine Power Spirit Treasure that is quite famous even in the Immortal Dynasty and is the heirloom passed down through generations of our Sword Array Dual Extremes Lineage. I shall pass this treasure to An Ye. As an Artifact Spirit, acknowledging its master is no harm, especially since I also have the responsibility to carry on my master’s lineage."

The initial reason was somewhat far-fetched, but with the added condition, the soul under the roof, Ji Wuchen could not help but yield.

Moreover, An Ye seems straightforward by nature, like a rough jade; he may well elevate the Sword Array Dual Extremes Lineage to new heights in the future.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe nodded internally.

Ji Wuchen proved far more reliable than Old Ghost Jiang, appearing to be a decent mentor candidate.

After all, An Ye is Wang family’s eldest great-grandson, making it inconvenient for him to enter the Academy or, like Shouye, take up another master. Gaining such a mentorship this way is a good alternative.

Moreover, as the saying goes, having an elder at home is like a treasure. The ancestral cultivators of the Divine Power Realm have lived long and experienced much; their knowledge and experience are treasures in themselves.

Though Ji Wuchen may not be able to support his disciple like Celestial River Zhenren, having him around ensures An Ye’s path ahead will be smoother, with unlimited potential for the future.

Following this.

With Wang Shouzhe presiding, Old Ghost Jiang supervising, and a dozen Celestial Human Ancestors from both the family and associated families watching intently, the Divine Power Spirit Treasure [Time] successfully recognized its master.

Though An Ye’s Divine Thought within the sword is weak, it can already control the Artifact Spirit’s life and death.

The inscriptions on the Divine Power Spirit Treasure are designed to restrain the Artifact Spirit and bind with the Artifact Spirit’s Divine Soul Consciousness. With a single thought, the inscription activates instantly to obliterate the Artifact Spirit.

However, doing so has aftereffects. Without the Artifact Spirit, the Divine Power Spirit Treasure’s power will plummet until a new Artifact Spirit is born over long ages.

After recognizing him as master, Ji Wuchen, feeling somewhat diminished in presence, simply hides within [Time], refraining from appearing, and controls the Spirit Sword, letting it hover quietly beside Wang Anye, silently guarding him.

Nonetheless, [Time] is indeed a Divine Power Spirit Treasure, and with Wang Anye’s meager cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm Third Layer, he struggles not only to unleash its power but even to control it normally.

Indeed, whether it’s a Magical Treasure or a Purple Mansion Spirit Treasure, normal use demands a certain strength of Divine Thought. Without sufficient Divine Thought strength, one may not even manipulate it, let alone use it in combat.

Otherwise, wouldn’t a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator become invincible with a Magical or Purple Mansion Spirit Treasure?

In the same way, Wang Anye’s current Divine Thought strength cannot control the Divine Power Spirit Treasure.

Currently, he can only rely on the Artifact Spirit to wield [Time], for attack or defense.

However, the residual Divine Soul Power of [Artifact Spirit Ji Wuchen] is extremely limited; once exhausted, it takes a long time to recover, so it should be reserved for key moments.

Ji Wuchen’s primary role now isn’t combat, but to use his nearly two thousand years of cultivation experience to guide Wang Anye’s practice, aiding him to quickly advance to the Celestial Human Realm.

Only upon reaching the Celestial Human Realm can Wang Anye refine the Divine Power Spirit sword "Time" into his Lifebound Spirit Sword.

Thus, he can barely utilize part of its power. To unleash the full power of Spirit Sword Time, Wang Anye must reach the Divine Power Realm.

Clearly, the weapon issue for this youngster is resolved, and it’s a one-and-done solution with the best possible outcome.

Moreover.

Ji Wuchen gave Wang Anye his only inheritance apart from the sword, the [Infinite Treasure Ring]. Though he consumed the stored materials during his escape, the Storage Ring at the Spirit Treasure level alone is worth a fortune.

"Great-grandfather, once I extract the items from the Endless Abyss, I’ll give the Endless Abyss to you," Wang Anye said joyfully, fondling the Infinite Treasure Ring, expressing his piety toward Wang Shouzhe.

"Uh..."

A drop of cold sweat fell from Wang Shouzhe’s brow.

Could you not bring this up in front of everyone? As the proud head of a Great Celestial Pride family, does he really have to use a discarded Storage Ring from his great-grandson? Wouldn’t it be shameful if word got out?

Yet, embarrassment aside, [Endless Abyss] is already a near-top-grade Storage Ring, difficult to buy even with money.

And with family, it doesn’t matter much. In the past, many ordinary families, lacking financial resources, regularly had elders eat leftovers from the children.

In addition, breaking through the Array presented similarly invaluable rewards.
