Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

When he first acquired the Unity Technique, he didn't think it was of much use.

But now it seems.

This Unity Technique was practically tailor-made for him.

It actually fused his five elemental spiritual techniques together.

Combined with his Taiyi Yantian Record, the effect was simply amazing.

They are a match made in heaven.

They match perfectly.

Zhang Yan, who possesses the primordial energy of the five elements, is perfectly suited for this kind of synthesized supernatural power.

"Moreover, the power of this divine ability is truly immense. And this is merely a divine ability; if I were to achieve the Golden Core stage and comprehend the Dao essence within it, its power would be even greater." The Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage are two completely different realms.

Don't let Zhang Yan's formidable abilities fool you.

Even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, one can deal with cultivators in the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

He was even confident that he could deal with a late-stage Golden Core cultivator when he was in the early Golden Core stage.

But even when he was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

He also has virtually no chance of dealing with a cultivator in the early stages of the Golden Core realm.

The biggest reason for this is the Daoist spirit.

The biggest difference between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is the difference between spells and supernatural powers.

The biggest difference between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is the Daoist rhythm.

The so-called Daoist charm is something that emerges after supernatural powers have been cultivated to their ultimate level.

Even a trace of Daoist essence is enough to crush an entire supernatural power.

The difference between the two is like that between a kitchen knife and a handgun.

Don't tell me that even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife.

In the face of absolute power, all of that is a joke.

What kitchen knife? I'll just shoot it!

Just ask if you are afraid of it!
"Although it's already finished, I feel that my supernatural powers still need some further integration." Zhang Yan had already integrated the Five Elements Spiritual Techniques.

However, he ultimately felt that he needed to merge his other supernatural powers as well.

Don’t say anything else.

At least they merged the similar ones.

In that case, he will need to comprehend less of the Daoist principles.

It turns out.

Having too many supernatural powers does indeed have some drawbacks.

Even for someone as overpowered as him, it was still somewhat difficult.

Now that we have the opportunity to merge all of these things, why not?
The reason I wanted more supernatural powers before was that the more supernatural powers one had during the foundation building stage, the more powerful one's magic power would be.

He is already enjoying this benefit.

Zhang Yan also wanted to eliminate the drawbacks brought about by those supernatural powers.

"Speaking of which, I have a feeling that this Unity Technique was deliberately placed in the Ascension Realm secret realm."

Zhang Yan muttered to himself.

This technique of unification can curb the drawbacks of having multiple supernatural powers.

It's absolutely impossible for it to appear in the Ascension Path Secret Realm by such a coincidence, and even be used as the final test question.

This was clearly done intentionally.

Although we don't know who put it there.

But it is precisely because of this that he was able to obtain the Unity Technique.

Only then can supernatural powers be unified.

soon.

Another year.

Zhang Yan reorganized his thirty-six supernatural abilities into twelve.

This is already the limit.

If we want to further organize the remaining parts, it will be difficult to do so.

"But that's enough."

"Twelve supernatural powers are indeed easier to comprehend than thirty-six." Although he has now completed his comprehension of the supernatural powers.

However, the Daoist aura of the Golden Core stage will still be present at that time.

That's even more difficult than supernatural powers.

Now that these supernatural powers have been synthesized, it will be easier to comprehend the Daoist principles later.

This is a good thing for him.

"Now that I've comprehended the supernatural powers, the next step is to cultivate the Golden Core." Zhang Yan took a deep breath.

Achieve the Golden Elixir.

It sounds easy, but it's incredibly difficult to actually do.

Think about the Southern Wilderness, such a large region, how many Golden Core cultivators are there?

Their Qingheng faction has occupied so much territory.

Only a few Golden Core cultivators?

But now.

Zhang Yan is actually about to achieve the Golden Core.

Most importantly, Zhang Yan is not even sixty years old!

Moreover, he is neither a weapon cultivator nor a talisman cultivator, nor does he practice unorthodox methods.

It is a proper foundation building of magic, with supernatural powers as the way, and it is the path to heaven!

Only Zhang Yan himself knows the difficulties involved.

Ok.

I also know about the equipment slots.

……

They left the weapon-refining workshop.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yan went directly to find Gu Jingsong.

He wants to form his core.

This is no small matter; let's see what Gu Jingsong's plans are first.

After all, they haven't participated in the assessment yet.

The other party is also betting on him. If he doesn't ask for some benefits now, should he wait until he passes the test?
Although……

Theoretically, it's possible.

The other party might not even refuse.

After all, a cultivator who passes the assessment and enters the Great World is considered to have a network of connections.

In particular, entering the big world does not mean you can't come back.

Just like Gu Taixuan.

I've been to the Great World before.

But they still came back.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao Sect is naturally willing to befriend someone like this.

However, this presents a problem.

At that time, Zhang Yan looked down on ordinary things.

If there were too many, even their Heavenly Dao Sect would find it difficult to produce them.

After all, they have such a large sect to manage and so many people to support.

Therefore, it would be better to give out all the benefits before the competition even begins.

Judging from Zhang Yan's current situation, it's almost a certainty that he will pass the assessment.

Helping him now would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

If he passes the exam, that would be the icing on the cake.

Therefore, when Zhang Yan said he wanted to form his core...

Gu Jingsong's reaction was also very direct.

arrangement.

Make every effort to arrange 1
The force was even more exaggerated than Zhang Yan had imagined.

"Just tell us what you need, and our Heavenly Dao Sect will take care of it for you," Gu Jinsong said magnanimously.

This is indeed a case of being rich and powerful.

It should be noted that the spiritual items required for Core Formation vary depending on each person's cultivation method.

However, generally speaking, these spiritual objects that have reached the Core Formation stage are extremely precious.

and.

Golden Cores also have different grades.

From the lowest level, the One-Aperture Golden Elixir, to the highest level, the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir.

The grades are different.

The materials required are also different.

Zhang Yan's current Core Formation is funded by public funds.

They will not be stingy with the spiritual items they need.

He immediately presented a large amount of material.

All of them are materials of the Five Elements. These are spiritual items required for a Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir, as recorded in the Taiyi Yantian Record.

these things.

If you want him to find it himself...

Not only does it require a large number of spirit stones, but most importantly, they are also hard to find.

After all, everything here is extremely precious.

Don't tell me you can't find it.

Even if you find it, the other party may not necessarily trade with you.

Such a treasure.

That has nothing to do with spirit stones.

Instead, bartering is necessary.

You need to have something valuable that can impress others before they will trade with you.

It's like when you become an official and reach a certain level, ordinary money becomes useless.

You have to...

Only OK.

But it would be even better if the Heavenly Dao Sect did it.

After all, for the Heavenly Dao Sect...

They are now the most powerful sect in the entire Central Plains.

In Middle-earth, everyone has to give them some face if they want something.

Rao is so.

When Gu Jingsong saw the list Zhang Yan provided, he almost jumped up.

"I told you to go find the thing that helped you reach the Core Formation stage, did you come here to rob me?"
So many spiritual creatures

Are these all things you need to reach the Core Formation stage?

"And why do I see some things here that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators would need?"

Gu Jingsong's face darkened when he saw the list in Zhang Yan's hand.

This guy.

It really is the lion that's opening its mouth!

They really want everything!

Faced with the other party's accusation, Zhang Yan blinked innocently: "These really are the spiritual items I need to form my core."

He sighed.

"If you find it difficult, then forget it. I used to think the Heavenly Dao Sect was incredibly powerful."
I never imagined that I couldn't even afford the things needed to reach the Core Formation stage.

well."

Zhang Yan sighed.

Look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

He looked heartbroken.

This left Gu Jingsong somewhat helpless.

This guy……

It's really infuriating!
“No, these materials contain all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Does that mean you have all five elements in your spiritual roots, and you've also cultivated the magic power of the five elements?” Gu Jingsong asked Zhang Yan through gritted teeth.

"yes!
I possess all five elements, and I cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Qi.

As Zhang Yan spoke, he extended his hand.

Five vibrant colors immediately appeared on the five fingers of his right hand.

This corresponds exactly to the attributes of the Five Elements.

"you you you……"

See this scene.

Gu Jingsong was also helpless.

This guy is a real bug!

At the same time, he also understood why Zhang Yan was so strong.

Oh shit.

Having mastered thirty-six spells to establish a foundation, his cultivation level was already deeper than others.

In addition, he possesses the power of the Five Elements.

In other words, his magical power is five times greater than that of an ordinary person.

Moreover, it can be combined with the thirty-six spells.

In this situation.

How could a cultivator of the same level possibly be a match for Zhang Yan?

It would be strange if they didn't get utterly crushed.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go find you a spiritual item."

Gu Jingsong said through gritted teeth.

"By the way, Senior Gu, I have another question I'd like to ask you." Seeing that Gu Jingsong was about to leave, Zhang Yan quickly spoke up.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Gu Jingsong stopped in his tracks.

Anyway, Zhang Yan has already ripped him off bald.

It's unrealistic for the other party to continue to get benefits from him.

Since that's the case, he's no longer afraid.

"I want to know about becoming an immortal." Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then said softly, "I heard before that if one does not go through the Immortal Transformation Pool, then one cannot become an immortal after forming the core?"

"At most, you can only cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and you can't enter the Dharma Aspect stage?" Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and asked Gu Jingsong.

Yes, you're right.

"That's true." Gu Jingsong nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with Zhang Yan's question.

"Why is this happening?" Zhang Yan asked, puzzled. "And is there any way to resolve this?"

Why did this happen...?

how to say?

"Perhaps it's because this world is wounded." Gu Jingsong sighed and said to Zhang Yan after hearing his question.

"This world is wounded, so it is not complete. This also means that we humans are not complete either. Only after undergoing the baptism of the Immortal Transformation Pool can we be considered complete humans."

Only in this way can we enter the realm of Dharma and continue our practice.

Actually, what you might not know is that, according to previous calculations, this world should have been destroyed long ago. Do you know why we can still cultivate now?

Gu Jingsong's expression turned somewhat serious when he got to this point.

"I don't know." Zhang Yan shook his head slightly; he truly didn't know.

That's because...

Many predecessors died here.” Gu Jingsong said, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"Our world is injured, and spiritual energy is constantly leaking out, but fortunately, the rate of leakage is not too fast."

Many predecessors left the Central Plains and entered the Great World. They achieved great success in cultivation, but they did not become immortals. Their lifespans would eventually come to an end.

When that time comes, most of them will choose to return to the Central Plains, then disperse all their cultivation to nurture this land. This is why this land has been able to endure for so long.

"Actively disperse your cultivation to nourish the world?" After hearing this,

Zhang Yan was truly stunned.

This was something he never expected.

He never imagined that the world was so broken and dilapidated.

They never imagined that this world was able to continue writing about cultivation only because their predecessors constantly patched and mended it.

"Can
……

"Since there are other worlds to go to, why not go to other worlds?" Zhang Yan opened his mouth and asked Gu Jingsong.

Yes.

There are other worlds; they can simply go to another world and end this kind of life.

If that's the case, why stay here?
"First of all, teleporting from our world to other worlds requires a lot of spiritual energy, and we can't possibly take everyone with us."

"If that's the case, what's the point of sending a few people?" Gu Jingsong sighed softly upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, and then continued, "Furthermore, we cultivators are born and raised here. How can we easily abandon our homeland?"
Moreover, no matter what this place is like, it is our home. Even if it is dilapidated, as long as it exists here, we all have a home. But once we abandon it, we all become people without roots.

"Without even the roots, what kind of immortality are you cultivating?"

Gu Jingsong spoke rather loudly.

His expression seemed somewhat agitated.

But Zhang Yan felt he should be passionate.

"Is there no other way?" Zhang Yan clicked his tongue and asked Gu Jingsong.

"Yes, we just need to seize the origin of other worlds and integrate it into our world, and that will work."

But robbing the very essence of a world...

That's not something just anyone can do!

In fact, this is something our predecessors have always wanted to do.

They had planned it before, but unfortunately, they almost succeeded. Gu Jingsong sighed.

"Then, one last question: for those who haven't ascended to immortality but have already reached the Golden Core stage, is there really no chance for them in this lifetime?" Zhang Yan was quite concerned about this matter.

"That's not entirely true."

"But there's definitely no chance for us in the Central Plains. We might find a way there at the Human Alliance, though the price could be quite high." (End of Chapter)
