Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

The group hid within the thunderclouds.

The thunder ants chased the storm to the edge of the thundercloud, and most of them stopped.

Several weaker Thunder Talisman Ants also chased after us.

But within the thunderclouds.

No one dared to make a move, fearing they might unleash terrifying lightning.

Hiding and dodging in the thunderclouds, they finally escaped all the thunder ants.

Then the group returned to the edge of the thundercloud and gazed at the thunder ants from afar.

"The thunder ants in this cave."

"There are at least several hundred."

"They're all gathered at the edge of the thunderclouds. If we show up, we'll be surrounded and attacked."

The group looked at each other, feeling quite troubled.

These thunder ant ants are not difficult to deal with.

What's troublesome is their ability to self-destruct.

Moreover, when it explodes, a large number of Thunder Talisman Ants self-destruct at the same time.

Beneath a hundred-foot-high thunderstorm.

Even a peak Dharma Aspect Realm expert couldn't withstand it.

"Senior brother."

"Your Azure Dragon phantom."

"It can isolate the thunderclouds, and the space in front."

"There are also thunderclouds near the upper level. Can we do the opposite?"

"Avoid the lower-level thunder ants and pass through the upper-level thunderclouds."

At this moment, Xiao Wanyi suddenly spoke.

"Yes!"

"We can cross the thunderclouds!"

Dongfang Jing's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on the thunderclouds above.

The thunderclouds there were no longer white, but rather a pale bluish-purple.

Clinging to the cave wall, it doesn't look like a cloud.

It resembles a winding Lei River.

But ultimately, it still has some similarities to the thundercloud where everyone is now.

"Then let's do as Junior Sister Xiao says."

Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, and was also somewhat tempted.

Xiao Wanyi clenched her fists, a blush rising on her face.

She had followed him all the way, and finally, she was able to help Zhang Yan.

then.

The group concealed their presence, shrouded in the illusory image of the Azure Dragon, and approached upwards.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan, it would have been impossible to get close in this way.

Soon, the group moved from the white thunderclouds into the blue-purple thunderclouds.

Stab it!

Thunder roared, and ripples spread through the thunderclouds.

"These blue-purple thunderclouds."

"The thunder it contains is even more violent."

"However, it is still possible to withstand it."

"I just wonder if Young Master Zhang's Azure Dragon Origin can hold up?"

After examining the situation, Huang, a peak-level Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Huang family, spoke to Zhang Yan.

"It can last for half a day."

"That should be enough."

Zhang Yan paused for a moment before replying.

"This is the only way."

Huang Jia, at the peak of the Dharma Image Realm, nodded.

The illusory image of the Azure Dragon was stretched to fifteen meters long, soaring through the thunderclouds and bathed in the thunder and rain.

From the bluish-purple thunderclouds, one can also see the thunder ants below.

With the thunderclouds providing cover, they indeed failed to detect Zhang Yan and his group.

that's it.

The group traveled for more than ten miles.

"At this pace."

"We should be able to reach the end of the cave smoothly."

Xiao Wanyi stood beside Zhang Yan, her eyes sparkling, and said in a crisp voice.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

There seems to be something over there.

At this moment, Dongfang Jing looked to the left of the Azure Dragon phantom, where a faint blue light was faintly visible.

"It looks like an egg?"

Numerous Dharma realms were also discovered, revealing the true nature of things.

"It should be the eggs of the Thunder Talisman Ant."

"After the Thunder Talisman Ant died, the Thunder Talisman returned to the sea of ​​clouds."

"It's impossible for it to be revived immediately."

"That egg should have been born from the thunder rune inside the thunder rune ant absorbing the power of the thundercloud."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and guessed the origin of the egg.

These thunder ants are extremely special.

It is an accompanying phenomenon within these thunderclouds.

These thunderclouds are like their nests.

So it's not surprising that an egg was found here.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"These thunder ant ...

"Perhaps the eggs left behind are also a kind of spiritual object."

"Now that we've discovered it, why don't I retrieve the egg for Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

Dongfang Jing's mind raced, and he said with a smile.

Throughout this journey, his role was less significant than that of Xiao Wanyi.

If I don't perform well, how can I gain Zhang Yan's favor?

"Go."

Zhang Yan glanced at Dongfang Jing and agreed.

Since he wanted to curry favor, Zhang Yan could give him a chance.

Moreover, Zhang Yan was also curious.

What's so mysterious about the eggs of these thunder ant larvae?

The egg was not far away, and Zhang Yan gave Dongfang Jing a chain formed by his magic power, instructing him to retrieve it.

As Dongfang Jing approached.

The shape of that egg emerged.

The egg resembled a snake's egg, extremely long and thin, with faintly visible glowing runes within.

It was about the same size as Dongfang Jing, and was just the right size for Dongfang Jing to hold in his arms.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"It's in hand."

Dongfang Jing hugged the egg and immediately shouted.

"I'll pull you back."

Zhang Yan channeled his magical power, attempting to pull Dongfang Jing back.

Stab it!

But at that moment, the thunderclouds ahead suddenly flared up.

A thicker, blue thundercloud, like a tidal wave, crashed in.

Zhang Yan's illusory image of the Azure Dragon was instantly engulfed.

"Humph!"

Zhang Yan himself was backfired by the Azure Dragon phantom, letting out a muffled groan as his magical power surged chaotically, almost causing him to lose control.

The chain connecting Dongfang Jing was shattered.

"No!"

Dongfang Jing was horrified. After losing his chains, he was pushed away by Lei Yun and screamed. He could only hug the eggs of the Thunder Talisman Ants.

"The Fifth Prince!"

The two Dharma Aspect Realm experts responsible for protecting Dongfang Jing changed their expressions, but they were unable to break free from the Azure Dragon phantom.

Squeak!
To make matters worse, after being engulfed by the blue thunderclouds, the thunder ants below detected the presence of Zhang Yan and his companions, roaring as they rose into the air.

Waving its limbs, it charged towards the crowd.

"Don't kill these thunder ant ants."

"First, get away from the thunderclouds and try to block them as much as possible."

"Then we figured out a way to rescue the Fifth Prince."

Zhang Yan's mind raced, and he came up with the best solution.

Once a Thunder Ant dies, it will self-destruct.

If you can stop them, it's not so dangerous.

Now that it has been discovered, hiding in the thunderclouds is useless.

The group immediately descended, escaping the upper thunderclouds. Inside the cave, they found themselves in a more advantageous position to fight the thunder ants.

While the number of Thunder Talisman Ants is still small, let's rescue the Fifth Prince.

Then go back.

That way, you can get away unscathed.

"Yes!"

The numerous Dharma Realms understood Zhang Yan's meaning and acted according to his orders.

"The Fifth Prince."

"Hang in there!"

The Fifth Prince's two guards were extremely anxious and could only try to calm Dongfang Jing down.

"I'm fine for now."

"This egg seems to protect me from the thunderclouds."

"Moreover, those thunder ants seemed to regard me as one of their own and walked around me."

From within the thunderclouds came Dongfang Jing's somewhat bewildered voice.

He thought.

Falling into the thundercloud meant certain death.

As a result, that egg also had this effect.

It actually helped him isolate the thunderclouds and even fooled those thunder ant talismans.

"Thunder ant eggs."

"It has this function?"

Zhang Yan was also somewhat surprised.

However, this place is not suitable for lingering.

Having withstood the first wave of thunder ant attacks, Zhang Yan, along with two Dharma Aspect Realm experts, brought Dongfang Jing out of the thunderclouds and away from them.

Dongfang Jing remained steadfast, clinging to the egg.

This is a life-saving treasure!
Boom boom boom!
Amidst the devastating thunderstorm, everyone returned to the thunderclouds.

The dead thunder ants left behind runes and returned to the thunderclouds, disappearing from sight.

Moreover, the lightning released by the thunderstorm was eventually absorbed by the thunderclouds.

Within this Meteor Valley.

Only through this continuous cycle can such a terrifyingly large amount of thunderclouds be accumulated.

Having escaped danger, everyone looked at Dongfang Jing and the thunder ant eggs in his arms.

"This egg."

"Can it really isolate thunderclouds?"

Zhang Yan was still somewhat incredulous.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang will know at a glance."

Seeing that Zhang Yan did not believe him, Dongfang Jing left the area of ​​the Azure Dragon phantom, holding the egg, and entered the area of ​​the thundercloud.

The surrounding thunderclouds really stopped attacking him.

It was as if it were simply soaring through ordinary clouds and mist.

"Thunder Talisman Ant".

"It is a creature conceived by thunderclouds."

"As expected, he has the ability to survive in the Thunder Sea."

Zhang Yan squinted as he spoke.

By sheer chance, Dongfang Jing helped Zhang Yan find a way to deal with the sea of ​​clouds.

This way.

Perhaps it could replace his Azure Dragon essence.

"Just now."

"That thick thundercloud."

"This should be normal, because the deeper you go, the denser the thunderclouds become."

"My cultivation level is ultimately a bit too low."

Zhang Yan withdrew his gaze and addressed the crowd.

"Young Zhang is modest."

"You can lead us here."

"If your cultivation level is still low, how should we conduct ourselves?"

Huang Jia, at the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, said with shame.

Although Zhang Yan was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

However, within this Meteor Valley, its role completely surpassed that of a peak Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

"I'm not being modest."

"I just wanted to say..."

"You can use these, the eggs of thunder ants."

"To replace a portion of my Azure Dragon Origin's power, or even completely replace it."

"If each of us has one or more, we can successfully reach the depths of the cave from the thundercloud."

Zhang Yan smiled and addressed the crowd.

"I see."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Then haven't I done a good deed?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing immediately began to claim credit.

"The Fifth Prince deserves credit for this! Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Having found a better solution, Zhang Yan immediately took action.

In Meteor Valley, there is no shortage of thunder ant.

That stretch of blue-purple thunderclouds resembled a nest.

Zhang Yan and the others searched back and forth and soon found the second Thunder Talisman Ant egg.

It took half a day.

Including Xiao Jinliang, there are a total of twelve people. Each person at the Dharma Aspect Realm receives two Thunder Talisman Ant eggs, while Zhang Yan and the other two receive one egg each.

Each person holds an egg in their hand and enters the thundercloud, then they will not be attacked.

"It should be fine."

Zhang Yan said something and then set off again.

With him at the center, everyone stood in neat and orderly fashion.

After all, if an accident occurs, Zhang Yan will still need to step in.

Xiao Wanyi clutched the thunder ant egg and stayed close to Zhang Yan.

Here we are again.

The place where misfortune previously occurred.

Everyone just felt that the pressure on them had increased a bit, and then they got through it smoothly.

that's it.

The thunder ants were successfully avoided.

Another half day passed, and along the way, they encountered thousands of Thunder Talisman Ants.

The group finally arrived at the end of the cave.

Looking through the thunderclouds, one can see a magnificent cave dwelling at the far end of the line of sight, bathed in a dazzling array of colors.

"Those are Dongfang Yeyang and his group."

Suddenly, Xiao Jinliang spoke in a deep voice, pointing to several black dots below.

Across a vast space.

As you can see, the area below is surrounded by numerous Thunder Ants, with five black dots.

Compared to Zhang Yan and others, these five black dots moved as slowly as a tortoise.

As the distance decreases.

Zhang Yan noticed that these five figures were surrounded.

But the figure in the lead was holding a magic sword.

Wherever it goes, the thunder ants will retreat.

"So that's how it's done."

"We've arrived here."

A sudden realization dawned on Zhang Yan.

"Finally caught up with them."

"Fortunately, there is Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Otherwise, without that sword, we might be trapped and die in the middle of the cave."

Dongfang Jing also noticed the situation of the five people below and sighed.

Dongfang Yeyang knew information about Meteor Valley.

Zhang Yan and his group could only follow in their footsteps, knowing nothing else.

result.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan and others arrived later and first.

Dongfang Jing didn't know what to say.

It can only be said that Zhang Yan made the right choice in clinging to this powerful patron.

They drew closer again.

Zhang Yan and his group had already appeared directly above Dongfang Yeyang and his group, just one step away from completely overtaking them.

At this moment, Zhang Yan clearly saw Dongfang Yeyang's figure.

She wore a crimson dress, held a silver-white magic sword, was tall and beautiful, with her long black hair tied up high, and had a pair of sword-like eyebrows. She exuded an air of arrogance.

Who is spying on us?

As everyone watched, Dongfang Yeyang somehow spotted Zhang Yan and the others and shouted angrily.

Behind her, a phantom image of a Nascent Soul with eight lotus platforms flashed by.

"Eighth-stage Nascent Soul".

“Born from the Imperial Sword Sect, the head of the five great immortal sects.”

Zhang Yan's gaze narrowed slightly as he murmured.

Although I am aware of Dongfang Yeyang's ruthlessness.

However, it must be admitted that Dongfang Yeyang's talent is indeed astonishing.

Even Yue Ping, one of the eight phoenix chicks of Shenhuang Valley.

They are probably no match for Dongfang Yeyang.

Dongfang Yeyang is now in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the sense of crisis he poses to Zhang Yan is even stronger than that of someone in the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Even Zhang Yan felt that even if he used the Four Directions Annihilation Sword...

It's not certain that they can suppress Dongfang Yeyang.

This is a formidable rival.

Of course, Zhang Yan is currently only at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

If one breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, then things will be different.

"Sixth Imperial Sister".

"Long time no see."

Now that they had been discovered, the group stopped hiding. Dongfang Jing spoke up, drawing Dongfang Yeyang's attention.

"Dongfang Jing?"

"You actually managed to get here?"

Dongfang Yeyang looked up at the top of the cave, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Although in terms of identity.

Dongfang Jing was her fifth brother, but she never called him that; she always addressed them by their given names.

Only her younger brother, Dongfang Weibai, was different.

"Xiao Wanyi?"

"You adulterous slut, you're here too?"

The CCTV camera swept across the crowd and landed on Xiao Wanyi's face.

She arranged her brother's marriage.

She naturally knew Xiao Wanyi.

"When have I ever committed adultery?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanyi immediately retorted.

Although Dongfang Weibai has fallen, her reputation is hers and cannot be slandered.

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

"Isn't that Zhang Yan, the one who killed Wei Bai, right next to you?"

Dongfang Yeyang stared intently at Zhang Yan, a deep killing intent surfacing in his eyes.

She had seen Zhang Yan's portrait.

Although it was their first meeting, he still recognized Zhang Yan.

"Dongfang Weibai died at the hands of the demon race."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Facing Dongfang Yeyang, Zhang Yan replied expressionlessly. (End of Chapter)
