Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Tell me about it."

"Your experience in the Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang".

As soon as Zhang Yan sat down, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion couldn't wait to ask.

The information that Chi Lian Tianjun received was ultimately not as detailed as what Zhang Yan had told him personally.

"After Yoona and I entered the secret realm..."

Zhang Yan recounted the entire story in great detail to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

Of course, the equipment system will not be discussed here.

Neither the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master nor the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord had any doubts, after all, Zhang Yan's comprehension was something they had never seen before in their lives.

"So that's Shi Xiao."

"It is hidden within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm."

After listening to Zhang Yan's account, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord looked at each other with somewhat solemn expressions.

They certainly knew of Shi Xiao's great name.

That battle back then.

Shi Xiao was able to fight three human beings at the eighth level of the Great Realm all by himself.

They were only then suppressed.

Humans had always believed it had perished, but it turned out it was merely in a deep slumber.

"Zhang Yan".

"Thank goodness for you."

"Take a look at those two Four Spirits Swords of yours."

The Divine Weapon Pavilion sighed and said to Zhang Yan.

"Master, please take a look."

Zhang Yan took out the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword and the Azure Dragon Tremor Sword.

Although the two swords were precious, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was his master, and held a high position of power. He would certainly not do something like taking his disciple's treasures.

"The Azure Dragon Origin and the Vermilion Bird Origin!"

"Although extremely weak, it is pure."

"There are many magical artifacts in the world that are related to the Four Divine Beasts, but they only have their form and not their meaning."

"As far as I know, a long time ago, there was a Four Spirit Swordsman who was famous for his Four Spirit Swords."

"Your two swords are very likely one of them."

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was knowledgeable and a top-tier sixth-order weapon-refining master. After a few glances, he could tell the origin of the two swords.

"Does Master know anything about this Four Spirit Sword Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately asked.

Although he now possesses two spirit swords, he obtained them both by chance.

Especially the Azure Dragon Tremor Sword, if it weren't for the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword's sensing...

No one will ever know that it is located in the Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang.

The remaining two swords are even more elusive; trying to find them by chance is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"This is the Four Spirit Sword Lord."

"He is like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail; all I know is that he is at least a peak expert of the eighth realm."

"After the demon race disappeared, the Four Spirit Sword Lords also vanished."

The Divine Weapon Pavilion shook its head and explained.

Even Master doesn't know.

Zhang Yan sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat regretful.

He experienced firsthand the terrifying power of the Four Directions Annihilation Sword.

So I thought that if I could gather all four spirit swords, one day I might be able to restore the complete Four Directions Annihilation Sword.

That's an eighth-tier killing technique!
But if it's not possible, it's not something you can force.

I know what you mean.

"Although the whereabouts of the Four Spirit Sword Lords are unknown."

"But I have heard of the four spirit swords."

"Others have tried to find it before, but nothing came of it."

“But you are different. You already have two spirit swords. I will help you keep an eye out for the remaining two swords.”

"Perhaps by leveraging the connection between the Four Spirit Swords, you can find them all."

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons saw through Zhang Yan's thoughts and said with a smile.

It wasn't just Zhang Yan.

After he learned about Zhang Yan's achievements...

I also experienced the power of the Four Directions Annihilation Sword.

Even within the Divine Weapon Pavilion, there is no other sword technique of the same level that can be more powerful than this.

If Zhang Yan could gather all four swords, it would be a tremendous help to him.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhang Yan never expected such a pleasant surprise.

"And then there's the demon race."

"They're becoming more and more active."

"You encountered this once when you took on the mission last time."

"This time they went even further, smuggling themselves into the Xuanhuang Secret Realm."

Mentioning the demon race, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's face darkened.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan's extraordinary strength, the Divine Weapon Pavilion would have suffered a huge loss this time.

It's even possible that all the genius disciples will be wiped out.

The problem is that the younger generation is dying out!
Such an outcome is unacceptable to any force.

When the Divine Weapon Pavilion learned that a demon race had appeared in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, even a powerful expert at the eighth realm was terrified.

"Pavilion Master."

"It was my oversight."

"Before the next secret realm opens, I will definitely bring people to thoroughly clean it up."

Sixty years later, Zhang Yan entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm again.

"This kind of thing will never happen again."

Crimson Heavenly Lord cupped his hands and assured the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"This is not your fault."

"The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is special."

"And who would have thought that Shi Xiao was hiding among them?"

"However, you must keep this matter in mind and not slack off."

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master waved his hand, not punishing Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord, but only giving him a warning.

Then, the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion looked at Zhang Yan.

With a flick of his right hand, a warm, orange jade box appeared in the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's hand:
"Take this."

Zhang Yan took it and opened the jade box.

A refreshing fragrance immediately wafted over.

Inside is a floating lotus seed.

It has natural lotus patterns on it, bathed in five-colored light, making it magnificent and colorful.

It exudes a rich Taoist aura.

The power of heaven and earth was drawn around the lotus seed, forming an illusory lotus flower that slowly rotated.

"Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed!"

Zhang Yan recognized the item at a glance.

"good."

"I've been preparing this for you all along."

"Now it's perfect to hand it over to you. You can absorb it the next time you enter the Xuanhuang Secret Realm."

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons nodded and chuckled softly.

"But."

“Master, I already have one.”

"This kind of miraculous item only has an effect with one pill, so there's no need to waste it."

Zhang Yan took the lotus seeds, intending to return them to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master.

He has one of these lotus seeds on him.

It was won from Dongfang Weibai.

Giving him an extra one won't have any effect; it's better to give it to other outstanding talents.

"That one was yours."

"How you handle it is up to you."

“This one is a gift from me, your master. You may not want it, but I have to give it to you.”

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion did not take it back, but instead said something earnestly.

"I understand."

Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and then put the lotus seeds away.

This lotus seed represents the Divine Weapon Pavilion's high regard for him, and it is what he, as the senior disciple, deserves.

and.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is, after all, one of the five great immortal sects.

This lotus seed, which I just received, is plumper and contains a richer spiritual essence.

Its quality is also more complete than that of the Dongfang Weibai.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion never mistreats its disciples; it's just that it's a little slower.

Besides.

Zhang Yan also received a reward that had been given to Huang Yun'er and the others, and it was even more generous.

"pity."

"You did not obtain the soul of Shi Xiao."

"Otherwise, next time you enter the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, you will surely obtain the Xuanhuang Qi."

"Of course, you don't need to worry."

"Before you enter the secret realm next time, I will prepare for you a different kind of spiritual energy that is not much inferior to the Xuanhuang Qi."

"Furthermore, I will arrange for other disciples to search for you."

The Divine Weapon Pavilion official, with a gentle expression, had already made thorough preparations for Zhang Yan.

They had two plans, plus the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed.

Even if Zhang Yan doesn't obtain the Xuanhuang Qi, he'll at least reach the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.

If we can obtain it, we can break through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Zhang Yan was deeply moved.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion's treatment of him is no less than the Human Race Alliance's treatment of Dongfang Weibai!
but.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord are still unaware.

He no longer needs the primordial energy.

“Master, Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.” “Actually, I no longer need the Xuanhuang Qi.”

Zhang Yan spoke, looking at the two of them.

"Why?"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord spoke almost simultaneously, their brows furrowed deeply.

Zhang Yan had entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

It also helped Huang Yun'er and Song Qizhen shatter their elixir and become infants.

He should know best the function of the primordial energy.

"Master and Heavenly Emperor, please take a look."

Zhang Yan smiled calmly and took out the Xuanhuang Ancient Soil.

The ancient, yellow soil looked like nothing more than a rotten rock the size of a palm.

Even if it falls to the ground, no one will even glance at it.

His presence in the main hall of the pavilion was completely out of place.

"This is……"

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons was puzzled, but out of trust in his disciple, he still accepted it.

The vast divine sense of the eighth realm swept across the stone.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's eyes widened instantly.

Just now.

When his divine sense swept across the stone from a distance, it appeared completely unremarkable.

The inside of this stone is the same as the outside.

It's just a uniform, stubborn rock.

But when you hold it in your hand, you can see that it has its own space inside, with a wisp of dark golden spiritual energy floating and undulating within it.

"Inside this stubborn rock."

"It contains a wisp of complete Xuanhuang Qi?"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion held the stone and asked incredulously.

"Pavilion Master."

"Did you see it wrong?"

"There's clearly nothing here!"

The Crimson Heavenly Lord became increasingly perplexed. His divine sense had almost crushed the stubborn rock, yet he still couldn't perceive the mystery within.

"Look again!"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master, too lazy to explain, simply shoved the stubborn stone into the hands of the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord.

"really have!"

The divine sense swept over again, and the expression of the Crimson Heavenly Lord was exactly the same as that of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master just now.

This is the characteristic of the Xuanhuang ancient soil.

It can also be said that it is a characteristic of Shi Xiao's soul.

It can only be detected if someone holds it in their hand.

Otherwise, it would have taken so long.

The experts of the Divine Weapon Pavilion have also entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm countless times.

It was discovered long ago.

Once Li understood this, both the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and the Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord laughed.

"Good boy!"

"I thought so."

"You missed out on the Xuanhuang Qi, you really lost out."

So you were secretly making a fortune all along!

"This wisp of primordial energy is purer than any primordial energy I have ever seen."

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons smiled broadly and patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder.

"Me too."

"After killing half of Shi Xiao's body."

"We were lucky to come across this stubborn rock."

Zhang Yan offered a casual explanation.

in fact.

Without the equipment system's detection, even if the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master were present, that situation would be impossible.

It's also impossible, from a pile of rubble.

Find this seemingly ordinary piece of ancient, dark yellow soil.

Of course, he didn't tell the two of them.

What lies within this ancient soil is not the primordial energy of Xuanhuang, but the essence of Xuanhuang.

Otherwise, we'll have to find a way to explain it.

When the time comes to absorb it, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion should be able to discover this.

"its not right!"

"Your foundation is solid, you have mastered the Thirty-Six Divine Powers and possess the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir."

"Now, there are also the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed and this stubborn stone."

"Add to that your special Five Elements Crystal, and those demon souls."

"The nascent soul you have condensed may not be just at the eighth level, but very likely has reached the ninth level!"

In his excitement, the Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons suddenly had an idea and exclaimed with delight.

"Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul!"

"Since its establishment, my Divine Weapon Pavilion has been in operation."

"Never before has a genius reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage appeared!"

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Heavenly Lord's eyes shone brightly.

Nine is the ultimate.

Getting to this point is incredibly difficult.

Going from eight to nine turns is even more difficult than going from one to eight turns combined!
For example, Song Qizhen.

Having obtained the Five Elements Yuan Crystal, he re-tempered his foundation and also acquired the Xuanhuang Qi.

He was lucky enough to advance from the sixth level of Nascent Soul to the seventh level.

But going from the seventh turn to the eighth turn presents another formidable obstacle.

But Zhang Yan was different; he surpassed Song Qizhen in every aspect.

It can be said that it has the advantage of favorable timing, location, and popular support.

Even if Zhang Yan cannot complete the Nine Revolutions.

He is also the person who has come closest to the ninth level since the establishment of the Divine Weapon Pavilion!

"Hahaha!"

"I possess only the potential for a ninth-grade advancement!"

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder, as if he were treating him even better than his own son.

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master!"

Crimson Heavenly Lord also burst into laughter.

With that piece of ancient, mysterious soil, Zhang Yan is guaranteed to reach at least the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

What could be more joyful than this?

But for Zhang Yan...

This statement carries profound karmic implications.

However, since his master was happy, he wouldn't spoil his mood.

He was confident that he would definitely achieve the Nine Transformations!
After all, that wisp of Xuanhuang essence is equivalent to twelve wisps of Xuanhuang energy!
"Master, I'm going back to my cave."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yan got up to say goodbye.

"Go."

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had a kind face.

"Crimson Flame".

"Zhang Yan is still the disciple you recommended to me."

"A ninth-stage Nascent Soul! Hahaha, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found such a talented disciple!"

As soon as Zhang Yan left, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master pulled Chi Lian Tianjun aside and said...

"It's all thanks to the Pavilion Master's guidance."

Crimson Heavenly Lord's face twitched.

If he had known this day would come, he would have taken Zhang Yan as his disciple himself.

This Divine Weapon Pavilion Master, a dignified leader of an immortal sect, is acting innocent even after getting the benefits.

"well said!"

"Chi Lian, it's been several years since we've traveled around, hasn't it?"

The Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, feeling restless, left the main hall with the Crimson Heavenly Lord.

That's nice to say.

But Crimson Heavenly Lord already knew the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's meaning.

"Master, what brings you here today...?"

Upon arriving at a sacred peak, the Heavenly Lord within was about to exchange pleasantries with the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"How do you know that my disciple Zhang Yan has the potential to become a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's opening remark effectively silenced the Heavenly Lord's words.

Then, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master unleashed a series of combos.

The Heavenly Emperor remained silent, not even giving him a chance to speak.

This scene.

It was something he knew all too well.

It seems... that's how it was when the sect leader accepted disciples?

However, after listening carefully, the Heavenly Emperor was still deeply moved.

Those are promising talents who have the potential to achieve the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul stage.

This is a major event for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"There's no need to envy this Pavilion Master."

"Zhang Yan is a disciple of the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons finished speaking quickly, then left with a sense of unfinished business, continuing his journey to the next spiritual peak.

Still the same routine.

"How did you know, my disciple..."

……

Zhang Yan was unaware of these things.

Back in his cave, the Nascent Soul steward continued to work diligently.

However, outside the cave, they did see Huang Yun'er and Huang Lian, whom they hadn't seen for five years. (End of Chapter)
