Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

call!
Outside the ice cave, the cold wind howled.

Yesterday, the three of them left behind a pile of monster corpses.

This attracted even more monsters.

at this time.

Thirteen ice crystal centipedes, each at least 300 meters long, have appeared around the glacier.

The longest of them is 500 meters long.

His upper body rose up, like a small mountain.

"On this island."

"I wonder how many of these monsters there are."

Huang Yun'er clutched her silk robe and said with a solemn expression.

Although it was expected.

However, being surrounded by the auras of thirteen peak Golden Core cultivators, she still felt immense pressure.

laugh!
The three of them appeared.

Thirteen ice crystal centipedes, like a net covering the sky, surrounded the ice cave, spewing out an overwhelming stream of cold air.

For a moment, it seemed that even space itself was frozen.

Huang Yun'er and Song Qizhen felt as if their magical power was about to solidify within their bodies.

"not good!"

"This chill is terrifying!"

"Senior Brother Zhang, please block this attack, then we'll split up and fight separately!"

Huang Yun'er's expression changed drastically, and she quickly said...

The more of these ice crystal centipedes there are, the harder they are to deal with.

Today's quantity is more than double that of yesterday, and even she cannot withstand this chill.

Therefore, it would be best for the three of them to split up and deal with a portion of the problem separately.

"No need."

Surrounded by thirteen ice crystal centipedes, Zhang Yan remained calm.

call out!
Sword light filled the sky as 360 top-grade third-tier flying swords once again poured out!

But the cold air gathering in the sky was like an ocean.

Even the sharpest flying sword was covered with a layer of ice crystals.

"Senior Brother Zhang."

"I'm here to help you!"

Song Qizhen was extremely worried and took out her magic fan again.

It fanned out a fierce wind that swept across the sky, trying to help Zhang Yan get rid of the cold air.

however.

The chill had exceeded Song Qizhen's expectations.

The strong wind did not dispel the cold.

Instead, the cold air spread.

It might even backfire on Song Qizhen's true form!

In just a moment, Song Qizhen's magic weapon was frozen!
"My magic weapon!"

Song Qizhen's eyes were bloodshot with rage. In order to save his life, he had no choice but to throw the magic weapon away.

Wow!
But the chill, like the ocean tide, continued to pursue him.

hum!
At the critical moment, twelve flying swords crossed the void and arrived in front of Song Qizhen, revealing an extremely violent fire intent, and the cold air turned into raindrops all over the sky.

"You don't need to interfere."

The flying sword returned, and Zhang Yan's voice came.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Song Qizhen retrieved her magic weapon, still shaken.

If Zhang Yan hadn't intervened in time, he would have been turned into an ice sculpture.

The flying sword hummed!

At some point, a vast amount of fire essence gathered around Zhang Yan.

All three hundred and sixty flying swords were flowing with crimson flames, like molten lava.

The sword formation changed.

Centered on Zhang Yan, it transformed into two butterfly wings, incredibly agile, dazzling and magnificent!

Fire Spirit Butterfly!
It is one of the five spiritual creatures that Zhang Yan condensed from comprehending the formless Dao, the Fire Spirit Butterfly!

These ice crystal centipedes are most afraid of fire.

Then he used the Five Elements Heavenly Gang Sword Formation to transform it all into fire-element flying swords!

call out!
The flying sword pierced the sky, carrying a raging spiritual fire that seemed poised to incinerate the entire world.

yesterday.

Zhang Yan was able to kill five ice crystal centipedes simply by using the sharpness of his flying sword.

Spiritual beings were invoked today.

It was like slaughtering chickens and dogs!
Each flying sword that swept past could turn a monster into snow water.

Even the Ice Crystal Centipede couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of ten flying swords!

Bang bang bang!
One after another, the ice crystal centipedes at the peak of the Golden Core stage collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Yan stood tall in the sky, his 360 spirit fire swords, like 33 layers of fiery clouds, stretching across the heavens and earth, their divine might invincible.

"As expected of the senior brother!"

Hwang Yoon-ah and Song Qi-jin were utterly shocked by what they saw.

He is an expert in both weapon crafting and combat.

They were interested in Zhang Yan, the senior disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Convinced orally!

After dealing with the ice crystal centipedes, Zhang Yan obtained thirteen Five Elements Yuan Crystals.

He took out two and wanted to give one to Huang Yun'er and one to Song Qizhen.

But the two refused to accept it no matter what they said, so the matter had to be dropped.

Although no trace of the Xuanhuang Qi has been found yet.

But instead of continuing to search for a needle in a haystack.

It would be better to collect more Five Elements Crystals.

So there were three of them.

They stopped on this island, which was comparable to a continent.

There are plenty of ice crystal centipedes here.

After initially adapting, Huang Yun'er and Song Qizhen were able to obtain the Five Elements Crystals on their own.

that's it.

The three of them killed the Ice Crystal Centipede here.

By acquiring the Five Elements Crystals, he continuously improved his cultivation level.

……

There is no time to practice.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Suddenly, endless golden light, incredibly sharp, emerged from a glacier.

A massive iceberg, hundreds of meters high, was shattered into pieces by the golden light.

boom!
Finally, with a violent storm of magic, the iceberg burst open from the inside.

A massive amount of broken ice was scattered across the ice field.

The source of the golden light within was revealed to be a slender, graceful figure sitting cross-legged.

Behind her, a round, cracked golden pill was swirling around.

Five kinds of radiant light permeated the area around the Golden Core.

That is the Daoist essence of the Five Elements contained within the Five Elements Yuan Crystal.

The golden core swirled, and more and more cracks appeared.

suddenly.

The golden core exploded, appearing like a star on the icy plain.

"Senior Sister Huang has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Beneath another glacier, Song Qizhen, who had already broken through to the peak of the Golden Core stage, looked at Huang Yun'er's figure and sighed.

More than two years.

Having obtained a large amount of Five Elements Yuan Crystals, Song Qizhen recently broke through from the late stage of Golden Core to the peak of Golden Core.

Huang Yun'er was originally at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Now, he has successfully achieved the Nascent Soul stage.

As the golden core exploded, the massive amount of magical power contained within roamed freely between heaven and earth.

If one possesses exceptional cultivation, one can see that the magical power seems to have merged into the interior of heaven and earth, imprinting the Dao traces of heaven and earth.

It felt like a long time had passed.

It seemed like only a moment.

The golden light gathered again, and a nascent soul appeared that looked exactly like Huang Yun'er, but was only the size of a fist.

Unlike ordinary people, the Nascent Soul has a six-layered lotus seat beneath it.

"Sixth-stage Nascent Soul!"

"Senior Sister Huang is indeed a genius!"

Song Qizhen looked at Huang Yun'er's nascent soul with envy in his eyes.

The Golden Elixir leads to the Nascent Soul stage.

Generally, no, cultivators who obtain exotic heaven and earth energy only have a solitary Nascent Soul.

In other words, the most ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators who obtain exotic spiritual energy can condense a lotus seat beneath their Nascent Soul.

Each lotus pedestal represents a turn.

At most, it's a nine-tiered lotus seat, which is equivalent to a nine-stage Nascent Soul!

The more lotus seats a cultivator has, the higher their talent.

For example, in the first three stages, each stage grants the cultivator 30% more mana than other cultivators of the same level.

A third-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has almost twice the number of those of the same level!
For those above the fourth or sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, each additional level directly doubles their magical power.

A sixth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has approximately four times more mana than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!

Above the seventh level, each additional level doubles the value.

According to rumors.

Reaching the ninth level grants one 9.9 times more magical power than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator! Furthermore, the amount of heaven and earth power one can mobilize varies depending on the level.

It's like the difference between an adopted son and a biological son.

The three arrived at the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Since she did not obtain the Xuanhuang Qi, Huang Yun'er used the Gengjin Qi she brought from outside to build her foundation.

Wow!
A vortex with a diameter of ten miles was formed between heaven and earth.

A massive amount of spiritual energy surged towards Huang Yun'er.

The illusory nascent soul became solid.

Huang Yun'er has fully entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister Huang."

"Achieve the sixth stage of Nascent Soul cultivation!"

Hwang Yoon-ah achieved a breakthrough, and Song Qizhen congratulated her immediately.

Among the five major immortal sects.

In this generation, there are definitely no more than one hundred people who can achieve the sixth level of Nascent Soul cultivation.

It can be said that Huang Yun'er has already entered the top 100 of the five major immortal sects.

Within the Divine Weapon Pavilion, among this generation of disciples...

It's definitely in the top ten.

"I can condense a sixth-stage Nascent Soul."

"I also want to thank my senior brother."

"If it weren't for the Five Elements Yuan Crystals he gave me, I would at most be a fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator."

Huang Yun'er landed gracefully, smiled brightly, and looked at Zhang Yan's secluded cultivation place.

She absorbed the metal element.

It is also a different kind of spiritual energy.

Just like before, when Zhang Yan refined the flying sword, the Geng metal energy in those Geng metal flowers was the same.

She absorbed that wisp of Geng metal energy.

This is equivalent to more than two hundred Geng Jinhua.

It took her and her master a lot of effort to obtain it.

If she cannot obtain the primordial energy, she will use this method to transform into an infant.

The result is the same.

The primordial energy was truly too ethereal and elusive.

According to her and her master's calculations.

The best outcome of transforming a nascent soul into a five-stage nascent soul is possible, but if there are unforeseen circumstances, a four-stage nascent soul is also possible.

But we've arrived here.

Having obtained a large amount of Five Elements Yuan Crystals, she used the Five Elements Daoist Rhyme to refine Geng Metal.

Go further.

In addition, the metal element in the Five Elements Crystal has a nourishing effect on the metal element.

finally.

That's how he achieved the sixth stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Hwang Yoon-ah was extremely satisfied with this.

After all, even those disciples from the past who had obtained the Xuanhuang Qi to establish their foundation...

There are also those who are at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

If Huang Yun'er obtains the Xuanhuang Qi, she will probably only reach the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the primordial energy doesn't guarantee instant success.

The foundation for transforming into an infant is still one's own golden elixir.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion possesses the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, and in its entire history, it has only ever had one disciple who reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

The Nine-Turn Nascent Soul has never appeared before.

"I've been here for two years."

"There are still more than two years left."

"The chances of us obtaining the Primordial Qi this time are slim."

"But if Senior Brother can obtain it when the secret realm opens next time, he might become the legendary Nine-Turn Nascent Soul!"

Hwang Yoon-ah's eyes were full of anticipation.

"If even the eldest brother can't do it."

"That Nine-Turn Nascent Soul might really just be a legend."

Song Qizhen also sighed with emotion.

boom!
The moment the words were spoken, the world suddenly changed color!

"what happened?"

Song Qizhen was instinctively on guard.

"Calm down."

"It's because my senior brother has broken through."

Huang Yun'er raised her hand and made a pressing motion, then said.

really.

The source of the spiritual energy fluctuations was Zhang Yan's secluded cultivation location.

The spiritual energy vortex that had just dissipated condensed again, covering a range of ten miles.

But beneath the vortex, the five elements of Dao are manifested in layers!
It was filled with five-colored rosy light, dazzling and spectacular.

Immediately afterwards, the five elements of Daoist energy continued to change, and actually formed five creatures, each a hundred meters in size!

Earth Spirit Whale!
Golden Spirit Eagle!
Wood Spirit Dragon!
Water Spirit Turtle!
Fire Spirit Butterfly!
Five spiritual beings, each possessing the power of the five elements, stood in five directions, guarding Zhang Yan inside the glacier as if paying homage to a deity.

Inside the glacier, golden light cascades down like a waterfall.

It seemed as if a great sun was descending from the heavens, illuminating the icy plains!

It was still dazzling even through the ice layer hundreds of meters away.

"Senior Brother Zhang, this..."

"The extraordinary phenomenon of breaking through to the late stage of Golden Core."

"It's even more astonishing than your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, Senior Sister."

Song Qizhen stared at the many strange phenomena, speechless.

"How can we judge this by ordinary standards, Senior Brother Zhang?"

Hwang Yoon-ah sighed softly, already used to it.

Two years.

Not only did Huang Yun'er and Zhang Yan break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, but Zhang Yan also broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

He obtained several times more Five Elements Crystals than the two of them combined.

Such an unusual phenomenon is perfectly normal.

If we take Zhang Yan's foundation as an example.

Obtaining the primordial energy and breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage—that would be truly astonishing!
Bang!
While the two waited, Zhang Yan completed his breakthrough.

A glacier thousands of meters high and stretching for tens of thousands of meters suddenly burst open.

The two looked quickly.

In the glacier, a giant ice crystal centipede, more than two thousand meters long, actually appeared!
Over the past two years, the three of them have killed quite a few ice crystal centipedes.

But this is the first time I've ever seen such a huge ice crystal centipede!
"The aura of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"

Huang Yun'er herself broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, making her extremely sensitive to the aura of those of the same level.

This ice crystal centipede, over two thousand meters long, had actually reached the Nascent Soul stage!
and.

Upon closer inspection, one can see the body of this ice crystal centipede.

It is composed of those monster heads that make up the Ice Crystal Centipede.

In other words.

This ice crystal centipede was formed by the fusion of ice crystal monsters at the peak of the Golden Core stage!

"Should have thought of it earlier."

"Ordinary monsters can combine."

"Those monsters that can become heads should be able to too!"

Huang Yun'er said with a solemn expression.

call!
As they spoke, the ice crystal centipede, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, moved.

With a body over two thousand meters long, its tail alone can cover a range of one thousand meters.

Its target is the glacier that Zhang Yan cultivates!
It was when Zhang Yan broke through.

Attracted by the five elements' Daoist aura, it finally awoke from beneath the glacier!

"Don't even think about harming Senior Brother Zhang!"

Upon discovering the Ice Crystal Centipede's intentions, Huang Yun'er was extremely anxious and immediately tried to rescue Zhang Yan.

Let alone Zhang Yan still breaking through, even if he breaks through to the late stage of Golden Core.

Even facing this Nascent Soul stage Ice Crystal Centipede, they couldn't withstand it!

Violent!
However, before Huang Yun'er arrived, a majestic cry rang out above the glacier, and a phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared among the five spiritual creatures!

call out!
Three hundred and sixty flying swords appeared, but this time, they merged into the interior of the Vermilion Bird phantom.

The Vermilion Bird Flame, even more terrifying than the Spirit Flame, flickered in the sky.

Even though there was a snowfield beneath her feet, Huang Yun'er felt as if she had arrived on a volcano!

"That's...Suzaku!?"

Faced with that fiery red phantom, Huang Yun'er paused in her steps.

next moment!
The Vermilion Bird spread its wings and pierced through the heavens and earth with lightning speed!

The ice crystal centipede, over two thousand meters long, was pierced from both ends and died almost instantly!
boom!
The Vermilion Bird's divine flames blotted out the sky and the sun, slowly dissipating into nothingness.

All that remained were broken corpses scattered on the ground.

Hwang Yoon-ah and Song Ki-jin remained where they were, watching this scene in silence.

"Here comes the sword."

Having completed his breakthrough and reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, Zhang Yan appeared in the sky and reached out to greet the Vermilion Bird phantom.

The imposing phantom of the Vermilion Bird obediently transformed into a spirit sword and fell into Zhang Yan's hand.

"This is?"

Holding the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword, Zhang Yan hadn't even arrived yet to collect the more than one hundred Five Elements Yuan Crystals scattered on the ground.

Suddenly, my gaze fell upon a distant place.

A faint spiritual light rippled across the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword, like breathing.

It sensed the presence of another Four Spirit Sword.

It's right here within this Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang! (End of Chapter)
