Powerhouses of the Void Transformation Realm wield origin or dao artifacts. But for someone at Liang's level— almost the Void Return Realm—the appropriate weapons are Transcendent Artifacts. Transitional, like the realm itself. That's why they're sometimes called quasi–sacred artifacts: sacred items infused with only a trace of divinity.
The Void Return Realm wasn't even considered a true realm in most higher domains. Outside the lower planes, it was often referred to as the "halfway to divine ingeneration"—a transitional stage, not a destination.
But in the lower domain, where the world's spiritual foundations were too weak to support cultivators stepping fully into the mystical, Void Return became the threshold. For those trapped in limited lands, it was the highest they could go without breaking through into higher realms entirely. A liminal state—between the mundane and the mystical.
