Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

We've entered the twenty-sixth level.

Zhang Yan was taken aback, because he discovered that the creatures in the twenty-sixth level were still human guardians.

"So, all thirty-odd levels are human?" Zhang Yan muttered to himself.

In truth, these gatekeepers meant nothing to him anymore.

As long as you unleash your full combat power.

He didn't believe that anyone in the Foundation Establishment stage could defeat him.

Unless you use something that doesn't belong to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Or maybe.

The only one who could defeat Zhang Yan during the Foundation Establishment stage is Zhang Yan himself at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage in the future.

Moreover, this is the twenty-sixth level.

We should be able to unleash our fury now.

The main reason is that there's no one else here.

Zhang Yan was unaware that the top five could be seen by outsiders.

Actually.

Most of the people in the Central Plains didn't know either.

This viewing right is controlled by the five major sects and some medium-sized sects.

Within the sect, this is probably not a secret.

However, it is difficult for independent cultivators to know.

possible……

The rogue cultivator hadn't even considered this kind of news.

After all, for independent cultivators, simply gathering enough spirit stones to enter the Ascension Realm is already quite a challenge.

As for the top five?

What the hell are you talking about?!

They're nowhere near making the top five. You're giving them way too much credit.

Even the most outstanding geniuses are only ranked twelfth!

The way forward.

The way forward.

Zhang Yan continued to break through the barriers.

And at the same time.

Those who could see the information inside the venue fell silent.

They had already greatly overestimated Zhang Yan.

But when they saw Zhang Yan strolling around the arena as if taking a leisurely walk, they still gasped in surprise.

This kid is terrifyingly powerful!
"His combat power is already beyond reason."

An elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect sighed softly: "We absolutely cannot let him enter the Little Thunderclap Temple, otherwise, our Ghost Spirit Sect may have no reason to exist."

"The best solution is to let him join our Ghost Spirit Sect," the Ghost Spirit Sect elder said softly. "By the way, could we betroth our Holy Maiden to him?"

"I think he's not very old, so he probably doesn't have a cultivation partner yet. Isn't our Holy Maiden also single?" The elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect was already plotting to betray their Holy Maiden.

"But our family's Holy Maiden is already several hundred years old..."

Moreover, she has a thing for men!
If she really married Zhang Yan, wouldn't he be completely cuckolded?

Another deacon from the Ghost Spirit Sect sighed and spoke.

"You're saying that..."

Too……

But I remember that our Ghost Spirit Sect's ancestor in the Dharma Aspect Realm had a granddaughter, didn't he?

Although I don't know which generation of granddaughter she is, she's quite talented and deeply favored by the patriarch. Perhaps we could play matchmaker sometime!

"Brother, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you! I don't want to die! You dare to scheme against a granddaughter of a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator? You can take it, but I can't!" Upon hearing the elder's words...

The deacon's face immediately turned ugly.

He's just a lowly butler!
This is something he absolutely cannot be involved in.

To know……

That's a patriarch of the Dharma Aspect Realm!
He's just a mere Golden Core cultivator, yet he's got the guts to scheme against someone else's granddaughter.

"You don't understand. This isn't a scheme. I'm finding a perfect son-in-law for our ancestor. He'll be thanking me for it!"
"Perhaps, if the patriarch is in a good mood, he might even reward us with some good things," the elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect said with a grin.

There was absolutely no indication that he was afraid of the Dharma Aspect Realm Ancestor.

“My ancestor, you have a powerful background, but I don’t.”

"If you want a reward, go get it yourself. It has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about it." The Ghost Spirit Sect's steward was not swayed by the other party's sweet talk.

Instead, it shook its head wildly.

Anyway, no matter what you say, I don't know anything. Since I don't know, don't come to me if there are any problems later.

"no……

Who exactly is this guy?!

now.

The elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect were completely excited.

Zhang Yan's strength is simply too great.

Did you see that?
Along the way, he used at least nine supernatural abilities, which means he is at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator with nine spells. His strength and talent are simply too great. Seeing Zhang Yan shine brightly on the Ascension Steps, this elder was even happier than if his own cultivation had advanced.

He was already fantasizing about what kind of treatment he would receive after taking Zhang Yan under his wing.

……

the other side.

Zhang Yan had already rushed into the thirtieth floor.

After entering the thirtieth floor.

The rules immediately began to change.

Because there were no guardians on these thirtieth floors.

Instead, original monuments appeared one after another.

"This hurdle..."

Is it a competition of comprehension?

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw these Origin Tablets, but then he immediately realized what they meant.

This must be a test of comprehension.

He glanced at it; it was all spells.

However, the spells learned during the Foundation Establishment stage are different; these are all second-tier spells.

That is, spells used during the Foundation Establishment stage.

These spells, once learned, cannot be transformed into supernatural powers unless you achieve perfect mastery and then inscribe them onto your golden core when you form it.

This can also transform into supernatural powers.

Unfortunately, this is extremely inefficient.

Furthermore, it may affect the quality of the Golden Elixir.

So basically nobody uses it.

Besides.

Most people only scratch the surface of these second-tier spells.

No one will ever cultivate it to perfection.

The reason is very simple.

Anyway, it won't become a supernatural power.

Then why should I learn it to perfection?

As long as it works, that's fine.

Wouldn't it be better to use the rest of my time to hone my supernatural abilities?

It should be understood that for ordinary cultivators, comprehending supernatural powers or practicing spells is extremely difficult.

After all, not everyone has a cheat code like Zhang Yan.

"Is it about comparing comprehension?"

Zhang Yan glanced at it.

There are three cushions at the bottom of each step.

It allows people to sit on it and contemplate its meaning.

"Let me see these prayer cushions." Zhang Yan glanced at the prayer cushions.

I immediately received the above information.

This Origin Monument is definitely untouchable.

If he moves the Origin Stele, what will happen when the cultivators who come later find that there are no more test questions?
But who can tell if there's one more or one less futon?
So what if we don't have it anymore?
So, Zhang Yan looked at them carefully for a few moments and then chose one of the prayer mats.

In front of everyone, he unhesitatingly put the futon into his storage bag.

This left those watching the scene completely stunned.

This guy.

Why are you even bringing a prayer mat?
Have you never seen anything good before?

"good good good good!"

Upon seeing Zhang Yan's actions, the person in charge of the Lingbao Sect burst into laughter: "I didn't expect him to like magic weapons!"
That's it.

When he comes out, we'll give him a magical artifact. Whatever kind of artifact he likes, we'll give him that kind; we can even have one custom-made for him.

I saw Zhang Yan holding the futon inside the Ascension Steps.

The person in charge of Lingbao Sect burst out laughing.

He had been somewhat resentful that the Lingbao Sect hadn't made it into the top five. But now, seeing that Zhang Yan actually liked this kind of magical artifact...

He immediately perked up.

Isn't it just a magic weapon?
Their Lingbao Sect may lack other things, but they have a large quantity of spiritual artifacts and magical treasures.

As long as Zhang Yan agrees to join their Lingbao Sect, the Lingbao Sect will give Zhang Yan all sorts of magical treasures.

Zhang Yan was naturally unaware of what these people were thinking.

And this moment.

He had already equipped the futon he had stored in his storage bag into his equipment slot.

Then, with the help of the five Enlightenment Futons remaining in the equipment slot, he quickly understood this second-tier spell.

This second-tier spell is not difficult.

And I don't know if it's because of the assessment.

Therefore, it is not an attribute-based spell.

Otherwise, it would be quite awkward if you cast a water-attribute spell and the opponent had a fire elemental root.

This second-tier spell is a spirit-gathering spell.

As the name suggests, it can gather the surrounding spiritual energy.

However, its function is rather useless.

Because everyone is now cultivating within the spiritual veins, and there are formations within the spiritual veins that prevent the use of spells like the Spirit Gathering Technique.

Otherwise, how can others cultivate themselves?
It is only of some use to those independent cultivators, or when they occasionally go out.

However, it's perfectly fine to use it as exam questions.

With the help of the encyclopedia and the enlightenment meditation cushion, Zhang Yan's cultivation speed was extremely fast.

It took less than fifteen minutes to complete the initial phase.

"Let's give it a try." Zhang Yan said, using the Spirit Gathering Technique.

As the surrounding spiritual energy is gathered.

Zhang Yan saw the Origin Stele in front of him slowly retract, revealing a gap through which he could pass.

Zhang Yan slowly ascended the second step.

He resorted to the same old trick.

Complete the assessment with ease.

For every comprehension test he completes, a meditation cushion is lost beneath the Origin Stele.

Thus, he easily entered the thirty-first level.

"You made it to level 31 so easily?"

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

What kind of person is this?!

Why is it so easy to comprehend magic?

No.

A spell lasts for 15 minutes, did you really watch it?
I was still reading the questions, and you've already passed the level?
This is just too much!
At this point, everyone started cursing.

Seriously, that's too much.

That's inhuman!

Besides that, if you're awesome, then you're awesome.

Why did you steal someone else's prayer cushion?

Although this person is extremely talented, his hobbies are extremely peculiar.

"He is indeed a prodigy!"

Seeing Zhang Yan's performance.

Everyone sighed.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that this guy is truly a monster.

It's not just about combat strength.

This is especially true in terms of comprehension.

It's hard to imagine that an ordinary person could have such insight.

Are you really human?
You're not some kind of celestial being descended to earth, are you?

Everyone was internally ranting and raving.

But Zhang Yan kept moving forward.

He is heading towards the thirty-third floor.

It is said that almost no one can reach the thirty-third level of the Ascension Staircase.

He wanted to see what was on the thirty-third floor.

These thirty-two levels are still filled with magic.

However, these spells are even more difficult.

At first, he grasped the concepts very quickly.

Because those prayer cushions all have inscriptions on them.

However, his speed of comprehension soon slowed down.

because……

There are no more entries.

This means that no one can fully comprehend these spells.

In fact, this is normal.

After all, the secret realm of the Ascension Path has a time limit for opening once.

I want to get to the thirty-third floor.

Not only must one possess extremely strong combat power, but one must also master so many spells, even to the point of minor proficiency, in a very short period of time.

This is something no human being could do.

Of course, Zhang Yan is also a human being, but he is no ordinary human being; he is a cheat code.

He was learning by observing others.

Unfortunately, we can no longer learn by observing others.

They all drowned.

"Then I'll just have to do it myself." Zhang Yan sighed.

Do you really think you're incapable?
Six enlightenment cushions, please bless me!
Although these enlightenment meditation cushions are all low-level magical artifacts.

It's not even a magical artifact.

However, the enlightenment entries above were all synthesized.

Its enlightenment attribute is very high.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was not afraid at all.

Therefore, even without those people's entries, Zhang Yan's comprehension speed slowed down somewhat.

However, he still relied on himself, his own strength and talent, to comprehend the magic within.

"This is the last piece."

Zhang Yan arrived at the last Origin Stele.

Once he comprehends this spell, he will be able to enter the legendary thirty-third level.

"I wonder what's inside the thirty-third floor." Zhang Yan felt a little nervous.

But he looked at the Origin Monument first.

[The Art of Unity!]

The spells on this Origin Monument look very simple.

Only three words.

It's called the Art of Returning to One.

The function of this Unification Technique is quite simple: it can integrate spells, supernatural powers, and even Daoist principles to form an even more terrifying power.

"no?
Are you sure this thing will work?

Upon seeing this Unity Technique, Zhang Yan subconsciously felt some doubt.

Don’t say anything else.

With so much magic and supernatural power in his body, what kind of thing would it become if they were all combined into one?
"Now that this Origin Monument has been erected, it should be successful."

Besides, I have so many supernatural powers.

I can pass the level by combining two less frequently used supernatural abilities. Even if there are problems, it won't affect my use of other supernatural abilities.

Zhang Yan muttered to himself as he spoke.

He thought about it.

The decision was made to combine two rarely used supernatural powers.

"First, comprehend the spell, then begin the fusion." With this thought in mind, Zhang Yan closed his eyes and quickly began to comprehend the Unity Technique.

It must be said, this truly lives up to its reputation as the final hurdle.

The practice of this Unity Technique is indeed quite difficult.

If Zhang Yan hadn't had some kind of cheat code, it would have been really difficult for him to cultivate.

Fortunately, he's no ordinary person; he has a cheat code.

With the help of external cheats.

It took him a tremendous amount of effort to finally master this spell.

Then they combined them into a supernatural power.

"Next, we'll enter the thirty-third floor."

Zhang Yan then headed towards the thirty-third floor. (End of Chapter)
