Chapter 52: Failed...

In actuality, the main point of Spirit Kernels was to follow different manuals to arrange Spirit Stones with different carved Inscriptions. This relied on stimulating the stored energy in the Spirit Stones, causing these Spirit Stones to fuse and thus create Spirit Kernel Dharmic Artifacts.

In a manner of speaking, these kinds of Spirit Kernels were already almost Dharmic Artifacts. They only needed the addition of the metal materials stated in the manual, in addition to polishing and smelting, before they could become refined as Dharmic Artifacts.

Even without the latter steps—with just Spirit Kernels—one could already release a certain amount of power. However, the power would be much weaker, as it did lacked the augmentation garnered from the forged materials. Furthermore, it would not be as sturdy as the true Dharmic Artifacts protected by metal materials.
