Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

After leaving customs.

Zhang Yan visited his master, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, as well as the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord and the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord.

This trip to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm was led by the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

The main focus of a cultivator's practice during the Golden Core stage is to comprehend the Dao.

After comprehending the essence of Tao.

Cultivators can then use their own magical power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

In this way, it would be equivalent to a strong man with no fists wielding a hundred-times-forged broadsword.

Starting from the Golden Core stage, one receives the blessing of the power of heaven and earth.

Cultivators can then possess the power to change the world.

To break through from the Golden Core Realm, one must first reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

This requires integrating the Daoist principles into one's own Golden Core, and then transforming the core into an Infant, thereby elevating one's control over the power of heaven and earth to a higher level.

Therefore, Nascent Soul stage cultivators can almost completely suppress Golden Core stage cultivators.

When the elixir is transformed into an infant, there are two different paths.

One method is to accumulate enough magical power and use that power to nurture the nascent soul.

The second type is a further step on the basis of the first type.

Using the unique spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a medium, and integrating it with one's own magical power, one can achieve the Nascent Soul stage.

The difference between the two.

It's like an ordinary person climbing a bottomless cliff with bare hands, together with a winged being.

The unique spiritual energy between heaven and earth is the "wings" of cultivators.

However, these exotic spiritual energies are extremely rare, and every instance of them appearing causes a frenzy of fighting over them.

Disciples from ordinary small families and sects wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

However, the Divine Weapon Pavilion is one of the five major immortal sects.

Naturally extraordinary.

The Xuanhuang Secret Realm belongs entirely to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

A kind of primordial energy will be born from it, which is the most superior among the many kinds of spiritual energy in the world.

If possible, one can achieve the Nascent Soul stage using the Xuanhuang Qi.

It can gain a huge advantage among those of the same level!
Even with an entire secret realm, only two or three cultivators can obtain the Xuanhuang Qi each time.

Sometimes, there are none at all.

Meanwhile, within the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the quota for entering the Xuanhuang Secret Realm is extremely precious.

Moreover, it requires at least the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage.

This time.

A total of 127 disciples entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Zhang Yan is the only disciple who is only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, this is also a perk of him being the personal disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master; even if others have objections, they dare not voice them.

The Xuanhuang Secret Realm opens once every sixty years.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master had no expectation that Zhang Yan would break through to the Nascent Soul stage during this event.

Instead, they were thinking about sixty years from now.

Once Zhang Yan breaks through to the peak of the Golden Core stage, he will have a greater chance of success entering the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

The day has come for the opening of the secret realm.

All the disciples gathered together, boarded a floating ship, and headed to the depths of the Great World.

On the airship.

Standing next to Zhang Yan were a man and a woman.

Although Huang Lian held a high position in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, his cultivation level was insufficient, so he was not qualified to participate.

This is a man and a woman.

The woman's name is Huang Yun'er. She comes from the same family as Huang Lian and has a cultivation level at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

The man's name is Song Qizhen. He has a good relationship with Huang Lian and his cultivation level is in the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

After entering the secret realm, the two will accompany Zhang Yan and be responsible for protecting him.

"Excuse me, both of you."

Zhang Yan looked at the two of them and said politely.

In fact, with his current strength, he's more than capable of protecting the two of them.

However, since it was Huang Lian who arranged it, he couldn't very well just kick people out.

Zhang Yan chatted with the two men, his gaze wandering over the floating ship.

Sure enough, on the other side of the bow of the ship, they found the Seventh Prince, Dongfang Weibai, surrounded by a large group of people.

He had talked with his master, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Over the past decade, the Human Alliance has been making some underhanded moves.

The five major immortal sects are not an impenetrable fortress.

There will definitely be conflicts of interest.

That's normal. What powerful person's path isn't forged through struggle?
However, the Human Alliance was acting secretly.

Contact those talented disciples who are not yet successful within the five major immortal sects.

Now, the Human Alliance has succeeded several times.

but.

The five major immortal sects, after all, still have intricate connections with the Human Race Dao Alliance.

It's impossible to fall out over such a small matter.

Therefore, the major immortal sects can only strengthen internal discipline and improve the welfare of their disciples to prevent them from being poached.

Over the past decade, Dongfang Weibai has confirmed that he will join the Human Race Alliance.

Inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion, they were at a loss as to what to do with this disciple.

After all, if you try to suppress him.

He went directly to the Human Alliance, and did so with perfect justification.

But you need to offer benefits to win people's hearts.

Unless Zhang Yan is expelled from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

That's obviously impossible.

Therefore, for the past ten years, Dongfang Weibai has continued to receive normal treatment, just like other disciples.

"hehe."

"I have obtained the primordial energy."

"I'll join the Human Race Alliance immediately. They promise that my treatment will be no worse than Zhang Yan's!"

Dongfang Weibai's gaze met Zhang Yan's, and he thought to himself with smug satisfaction.

Although he could no longer stay in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But because of the Human Alliance, he actually gained even more benefits.

We won't need it anymore.

He always looked down on Zhang Yan!
"I am here."

"You won't get even a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi."

Zhang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his heart filled with determination.

This vast world was so immense that it took the airship a whole day to reach the entrance to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

In front of the airship.

It was a blurry yellow dust cloud, stretching to the horizon.

The Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang.

It is a primordial place that remained when this great world evolved.

Therefore, the primordial energy remains inside.

"In your hands."

"Although there is a map of the secret realm."

"But the interior of the secret realm is not static."

“Each time it is opened, some areas will appear or disappear inside, and there may even be dangerous places that can kill Nascent Soul cultivators.”

"Although you are of the Xuanhuang Qi, you should still be careful in your actions after entering."

Crimson Heavenly Lord stood in the sky and gave a reminder.

Although the secret realm belongs to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

However, it has not been fully explored to this day.

Therefore, even if you enter, there is still a risk of perishing.

Every disciple who can enter is a genius, and the sect does not want to lose too many.

After speaking, Crimson Heavenly Lord gave Zhang Yan a special look.

Other people can all have problems.

But Zhang Yan is not an option.

Before he arrived, the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had given Zhang Yan a special teleportation talisman.

If you encounter danger, you can leave the Xuanhuang Secret Realm directly.

hum!
When the Crimson Heavenly Lord and the elders of the Divine Weapon Pavilion joined forces, the heavens and earth trembled.

The yellow dust that had been flowing in front of the airship suddenly solidified.

Then a passage was opened.

"Enter the secret realm!"

The voice of the Crimson Heavenly Lord echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

One hundred and twenty-seven disciples, each using their own methods, entered the secret realm.

Zhang Yan, Huang Yun'er, and Song Qizhen were assigned to the middle positions.

After a slight dizziness.

Everyone came to their senses.

Without the sun's glow, the entire world was shrouded in a gray haze.

And it's not a flat area.

In the sky, floating islands, each the size of a continent, are suspended.

The group is now on a rather large island.

Whether you look up or down, there is no end in sight; it is boundless.

The group did not scatter, but compared to the vastness of the world, their group of over a hundred people was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

"Big brother."

"Let's take the first step!"

Many disciples bowed to Zhang Yan and then went to other areas in twos and threes.

The seventh prince, Dongfang Weibai, was surrounded by more than thirty people.

They disappeared without even saying goodbye. Zhang Yan turned around.

Where they came from, a white pillar of light pierced through the sky.

This is the only reference that can point the way.

When they were about to leave the secret realm, they all had to return here.

"The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is too vast."

"If we're lucky, the Seventh Prince might actually succeed."

Zhang Yan glanced in the direction Dongfang Weibai had left and thought to himself.

Dongfang Weibai is destined to join the Human Race Alliance.

He certainly didn't want the Xuanhuang Qi belonging to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to fall into Dongfang Weibai's hands.

"Senior Brother Zhang."

"The last time the secret realm opened."

"Someone received the primordial energy from a certain direction."

Wearing a light blue dress, with a pretty face and an elegant demeanor, Huang Yun'er pointed to a floating island.

"Let's go to that island first."

Zhang Yan nodded and headed towards the island with the two of them.

Flying in the air.

Looking around, Zhang Yan finally realized the vastness of this place.

The secret realm opens once and lasts for five years.

Even if Zhang Yan worked non-stop for the past five years, he could only explore less than one-tenth of the area at most.

No wonder every time.

There were nearly two hundred spots available, but only a few were successful.

The probability of this is almost the same as finding a needle in a haystack.

After flying for five days, the three finally landed on the island.

It is called an island, but it is actually a vast continent.

The three of them stood on a blanket of white snow and looked around.

Within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, the evolution of heaven and earth is incomplete, and the situation on each island is not exactly the same.

This island is a world of ice and snow.

"right here."

"But this island."

"Completely different from what's depicted on the map."

Huang Yun'er held the map, looking somewhat puzzled.

The map shows that this island was originally a loess plain.

"Now that we're here."

"Let's look around on this island."

"Perhaps we're lucky, and this is where the primordial energy is located."

Zhang Yan glanced at the map and said to Huang Yun'er.

Hwang Yoon-ah looked apologetic because she had led the wrong way.

The three, separated by a hundred miles, began searching the island.

For several days in a row, the three of them only searched the outer areas.

No trace of the primordial energy was found.

then.

The three changed direction and headed inward.

Bang!
Song Qizhen spread out his divine sense, searching for traces of Xuanhuang Qi as always, when suddenly a ten-meter-long creature appeared under the snow in front of him.

It was a crystal-clear creature, its entire body as translucent as ice crystals.

A creature with four limbs, but no head or tail.

As soon as it appeared, it used its two sharp forelimbs to stab at Song Qizhen.

This blow.

Equivalent to the early stage of Golden Core.

"what?"

Song Qizhen, being a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, possessed a top-grade third-tier magic fan.

A gust of wind was unleashed, knocking the strange creature to the ground.

"On the map."

"An unrecorded creature?"

Song Qizhen took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise.

The Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang has not yet fully evolved.

Therefore, some creatures that do not exist in the outside world will appear.

But this one has never been discovered before.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of snowflakes splashing could be heard continuously.

Three more of the same creatures appeared around Song Qizhen.

One of them.

Its aura was stronger than the other three, equivalent to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"so much?"

Song Qizhen broke out in a cold sweat.

The snowfield stretched as far as the eye could see, and these creatures seemed to blend into the ice and snow.

I don't know exactly how many there are.

If he were surrounded by hundreds or thousands of enemies, even if Song Qizhen was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he would perish here.

"Junior Brother Song."

"Protect Senior Brother Zhang!"

Huang Yun'er's delicate shout came from the other side.

Not only Song Qizhen, but Hwang Yoon-ah also encountered this kind of attack from living beings.

Song Qizhen fanned the magic weapon.

They moved closer to where Zhang Yan was in the middle.

The magic weapon used by Huang Yun'er was a piece of white silk, which was extremely thin and flexible, but had powerful penetrating power.

He tossed it casually.

Then one of the ice crystal creatures shattered and fell to the ground.

The three reunited, with a top-grade third-tier flying sword circling around Zhang Yan, making it virtually impossible for these creatures to get close.

at this time.

Eighteen of these creatures have already appeared around us.

If you venture deeper into the snowfields, there will definitely be even more.

"Senior Sister Huang."

Should we continue exploring?

Song Qizhen glanced at the two of them and asked.

"We searched for a long time."

"Inside this snowfield."

"The appearance of creatures never before seen before could be a sign of the emergence of the primordial energy."

Huang Yun'er and Zhang Yan exchanged a glance and said excitedly.

Although this ice crystal creature is somewhat troublesome, it poses no threat to the three of them at present.

The three chose to continue.

Bang bang bang!
Along the way, Zhang Yan didn't need to lift a finger; Huang Yun'er and Song Qizhen took care of a large number of ice crystal creatures.

But after venturing thousands of miles deeper, the chill in the air became increasingly biting.

Even with their Golden Core cultivation levels, all three felt the cold.

at this time.

A massive rift valley stretching for thousands of miles appeared ahead.

Huang Yun'er pointed with her right hand, and the magical silk ribbon extended, clearing a path.

But this time.

From beneath the rift, a dense swarm of over a hundred ice crystal creatures emerged.

Moreover, this time, one of them was a full thirty meters long.

His aura had even reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Be careful."

Huang Yun'er gave a warning and then tried to kill him.

Click.

But before she could make a move, these creatures suddenly gathered together.

With that late-stage Golden Core creature as its head, a total of thirty ice crystal creatures were connected together, forming a centipede-like creature that was three hundred meters long.

Their auras were connected, and they actually reached the peak of the Golden Core stage!

"They can even combine?"

Hwang Yoon-ah and Song Qi-jin's expressions changed.

But the creatures here cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Huang Yun'er possessed the cultivation level of the peak Golden Core stage and was not afraid of this monster.

call out!
She channeled her magic power, and the magical artifact, the Silk Silk, split into four strands that pierced through the void, carrying a terrifying power capable of penetrating metal and stone, and shot towards the monster!

The monster's head suddenly opened.

A burst of white, cold air was exhaled, freezing a piece of silk.

The remaining three ribbons of silk landed on its body, simultaneously exerting force to shred its 300-meter-long body into pieces.

boom!
The monster lay motionless on the icy plain.

"In its head."

There seems to be something there.

As Zhang Yan watched Huang Yun'er make her move, he keenly noticed a wisp of colorful light containing spiritual energy flashing within the monster's head.

He leaped and landed next to the monster's head.

With a swift stroke of the flying sword.

Zhang Yan took out a crystal, about the size of a thumb, that shimmered with multicolored spiritual light!
A pure spiritual energy spread out.

"Five Elements Essence Crystal!"

Upon seeing this, Huang Yun'er exclaimed in surprise. (End of Chapter)
