Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"He's taken Tianxin Dao Lotus Seeds!"

All the celestial lords stared intently at the cave dwelling.

Although it is a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul, it will be an unparalleled foundation for cultivation in the future.

Even if you continue taking Tianxin Dao lotus seeds, there will be no further progress.

But for the Divine Weapon Pavilion...

If Zhang Yan's foundation can be made even more solid, it will be a guarantee for the future!
"The second person to reach the Ninth Revolution Nascent Soul stage since the founding of our Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

"This one came from the lower realm, but thankfully he was taken back to the Divine Weapon Pavilion by the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord!"

"Sect Master, I propose that Zhang Yan be granted the title of Young Pavilion Master directly. The entire sect must not allow the Young Pavilion Master to suffer any mishap!"

...

The Heavenly Lords were extremely excited, and had already confirmed Zhang Yan's identity as the Young Pavilion Master ahead of time.

After all, aside from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

In the past thousand years, only the Imperial Sword Sect among the five great immortal sects has produced a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

Zhang Yan's appearance signifies that the leader of this generation of disciples in the Divine Weapon Pavilion has caught up with the Imperial Sword Sect and surpassed the other three major immortal sects!

"nature!"

"Wait until this kid comes out of seclusion."

"Immediately appoint the Young Master!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion agreed without hesitation.

Even if the Heavenly Emperors didn't bring it up, he would have.

"Is that the extraordinary phenomenon of Senior Brother Zhang Yan breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"One, two... nine? A nine-sided lotus platform, a nine-stage nascent soul? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"You read that right, it's a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul! It just condensed its Nascent Soul, and its magical power is as vast as the ocean. It's said that the magical power of a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul is nine times greater than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul!"

...

Not only the Heavenly Lords, but also the disciples on the surrounding spiritual peaks were attracted by Zhang Yan's breakthrough and were amazed.

This is even with most disciples in seclusion.

Otherwise, the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion would be in an uproar.

In the Divine Weapon Pavilion, where even eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivators do not appear, a peerless ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appears.

The impact on the disciples was considerable.

time flies.

Everyone in the Divine Weapon Pavilion was watching Zhang Yan's cave dwelling.

hum!
Ten days have passed.

Zhang Yan's Nine-Turn Nascent Soul was fully formed, with nine lotus platforms stacked one on top of the other.

A lotus platform with nine lotus petals.

There are a total of 81 pieces, extremely gorgeous, colorful, and dazzling.

Each piece was perfectly full, with Daoist essence flowing within it, radiating a blazing wave of magical power.

The Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul has been fully perfected!

"He just broke through and actually reached the perfect state?"

“Generally speaking, after a breakthrough, one must stabilize one’s cultivation to solidify one’s foundation, but the young master has completely skipped this step.”

"Incredible! The young master's foundation is so solid it's almost heaven-defying, as if it were all a natural outcome!"

...

The Heavenly Emperors were once again horrified.

Based on their experience, Nascent Soul cultivators at the sixth level or higher are far too powerful.

There is a principle in nature: excess is as bad as deficiency.

Therefore, it is impossible to achieve a perfect state in one go.

For example, Song Qizhen, after breaking through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, needed about a year to solidify his foundation.

It's not just the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Disciples from other immortal sects were no exception.

Zhang Yan, however, defied common sense, which surprised everyone.
"Success is complete!"

The nine-sided lotus platform was fully formed, and everyone exclaimed in admiration.

But soon.

They then noticed something was amiss.

Zhang Yan's aura is actually still increasing!

The phantom of the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul illuminated the heavens, and three astonishing streaks of purple, white, and cyan appeared around it, soaring upwards!
"how is this possible?"

"Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Perfection, and it's not over yet?"

The heavenly rulers were stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Their perception.

It's been broken again!

boom!
As the three streaks of light soared into the heavens, the sky suddenly became turbulent and extremely gloomy, with faint flashes of lightning that blotted out the sun.

"Is it a heavenly tribulation?"

"How could there be a heavenly tribulation?"

Gazing at the sky, the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion exclaimed in shock.

Before a cultivator achieves true immortality.

Only when one breaks through from the sixth realm, the True Self Realm, to the seventh realm will one encounter the Heavenly Tribulation.

From the eighth realm to the point of becoming an immortal, one will encounter a heavenly tribulation in each realm.

Once one overcomes the tribulation to become an immortal, one can ascend to immortality.

However, no one has ever heard of it.

The Nascent Soul stage requires undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation.

Rumble!
As the tribulation clouds took shape, the tribulation lightning fully manifested, hovering within the pitch-black clouds. Within a radius of a thousand miles, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

Even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have stagnated.

The Heavenly Kings finally confirmed it.

Although its power is not as great as the Heavenly Tribulation of the Seventh Realm.

But it was indeed a calamity that had descended.

"Condense the Nascent Soul."

Why would this attract a heavenly calamity?

The heavenly rulers were utterly puzzled.

"perhaps."

"It's that boy."

"Found it, the level above the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul stage."

After a moment of contemplation, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion spoke in a deep voice.

His claim was not unfounded.

Rather, it was firsthand witnessing.

High above, three astonishing figures appeared behind the illusory Nascent Soul.

The three colors intertwined, and a spiritual ring actually appeared.

None of the people present had ever seen a Nascent Soul undergo any changes other than the Nine-Turn Lotus Platform.

The timing of the Heavenly Tribulation.

It corresponds perfectly to this spiritual ring.

It was clearly the spirit ring that triggered the heavenly tribulation.

Furthermore, as soon as the spirit ring appeared, a Daoist aura even more powerful than the Five Elements True Meaning spread out.

If not, see it with your own eyes.

Nobody would believe it.

Zhang Yan was simply breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

……

In the secret room.

Within Zhang Yan's dantian, a dazzling light shone.

The boundless true meaning spread out, as if it were about to evolve into laws.

"what is this?"

Not only were the Heavenly Emperors puzzled, but Zhang Yan himself was also unsure.

What exactly is the function of that three-colored spiritual ring behind the nascent soul's head?

He felt that his magical power had not increased again.

However, the three true meanings of thunder, fire, and wood were all integrated into that spiritual ring.

This spirit ring must have some use, right?

boom!
Even though he was in the secret room, Zhang Yan could feel the sudden heavenly tribulation.

"This spirit ring has attracted a heavenly tribulation!"

Zhang Yan's expression changed.

He had a feeling that the heavenly tribulation was aimed at the spirit ring.

There are two kinds of heavenly tribulations.

One possibility is that a cultivator's cultivation level is too high, affecting the normal operation of heaven and earth.

For example, when one reaches the seventh realm, the Heavenly Dao will send down a Heavenly Tribulation to control the number of powerful individuals.

The second one is...

In order to suppress a certain, defying existence, a calamity was deliberately brought down.

Clearly, Zhang Yan is now in the second situation.

"Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul".

"That is the limit of the Nascent Soul stage."

"And now, having completed my nine cycles, I have taken another step forward."

"This caused the natural order to be unable to tolerate it, which is why the heavenly tribulation was sent down?"

Zhang Yan had a guess in his mind.

But the tribulation had already arrived, and he had no other choice.

He must survive the heavenly tribulation alone, or all his efforts will be in vain.

"Since this spirit ring..."

"It can attract heavenly calamity."

"It will definitely be able to provide me with tremendous assistance!"

Zhang Yan calmed down and waited for the spirit ring to continue changing.

The heavenly tribulation was still brewing.

The moment the spirit ring takes shape is the moment the heavenly tribulation descends.

In the sky, calamity clouds obscured the sun.

The surrounding area, stretching for thousands of miles, was shrouded in darkness.

Only Zhang Yan's nascent soul projection shone brightly.

Zhang Yan consumed three Heavenly Heart Lotus Seeds, and now his strength is almost gone.

But that three-colored spirit ring.

It's still somewhat unreal; it's far from being fully formed. "We can't afford to fail at the last hurdle!"

Zhang Yan was anxious.

However, he had already completely absorbed that Nascent Soul Five Elements Crystal.

The demon's soul was also almost gone.

There were quite a few spirit crystals left, but compared to the bottomless pit of the spirit ring, it was just a drop in the ocean.

"I still have some."

"The thunder essence given by Venerable Lei."

At the crucial moment, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered.

A jade bottle appeared, containing a thick, silvery-white liquid filled with lightning.

Zhang Yan did not hesitate.

I took a big gulp.

As the lightning essence entered his body, a tingling sensation spread, but the stagnant light seemed to revive once again.

The tricolor light shone brightly once again.

Having reached this point, Zhang Yan has used up all his previous resources.

However, the real result.

This also exceeded his original expectations.

Once the spirit ring is formed, he may be able to condense an unprecedented tenth-stage nascent soul!
……

outside world.

"Not enough spiritual energy?"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion noticed the changes in the cave.

first timing.

Once again, the spiritual energy from the two fifth-order spiritual veins was channeled into the cave.

In addition to the fifth-order spiritual vein that was previously left for the cave dwelling.

Those are three whole fifth-tier spiritual veins!

Although three spiritual veins are nothing to the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But Zhang Yan only broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Yet it can absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy, which is enough to prove how amazing the spiritual ring behind that nascent soul's head is.

That's it.

Thanks to the efforts of Zhang Yan and the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The three-colored spirit ring has finally taken shape.

The nascent soul, identical to Zhang Yan's, sat cross-legged on the nine-sided lotus platform, with a three-colored spiritual ring behind its head, exuding unparalleled solemnity.

In terms of appearance, it is indeed incredibly stunning.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators appear like mere infants before these extraordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

boom!
At this moment, the tribulation of lightning finally descended.

The blue lightning, like a dragon, pierced through the tribulation clouds and descended from the heavens, radiating an extremely violent aura.

"The power of this tribulation lightning."

"Comparable to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm!"

The heavenly rulers were horrified.

With their cultivation level, they were fully aware of how terrifying this tribulation lightning was.

For a moment, their faces turned extremely pale.

Where can one find someone who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and is already facing a late-stage Nascent Soul tribulation?

"It's over. The young master just broke through, and he's about to perish under the heavenly tribulation?"

"I never imagined that one day, having too much talent would also be a regret. The young master's nascent soul might be an unprecedented tenth-stage nascent soul!"

"As the pioneers, we must be baptized by heavenly tribulation, but this is too sudden."

The Heavenly Emperors were in a state of utter confusion.

They've just risen to prominence, and now they're about to experience a dramatic fall.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's expression was extremely solemn, and the veins on his hands, hidden in his sleeves, bulged out.

His mind was completely unsettled.

But he believed that Zhang Yan should have a glimmer of hope.

Previously, Zhang Yan, at the peak of the Golden Core stage, defeated Yue Ping, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, by relying on the Azure Dragon Tremor Sword and the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword.

Moreover, the natural order will always leave a way out.

If it were Zhang Yan, he would seize the opportunity.

They should be able to survive the heavenly tribulation.

Rumble!
Blue lightning illuminated the heavens, breaking through the deep darkness, and was reflected in the eyes of every celestial ruler.

The terrifying lightning struck directly into the cave.

Zhang Yan's steward had already left, and he was alone in the cave.

In order to deal with the heavenly tribulation, Zhang Yan flashed and appeared outside the cave.

Thunderous explosion.

Zhang Yan saw a large number of Heavenly Emperors.

He also felt the terror of the heavenly tribulation.

In comparison, the Thunder River Body Refinement in the Meteor Valley is considered mild.

Because the Heavenly Tribulation is meant to extinguish the life force of those undergoing its trials.

"I might have been a little afraid before."

"But now, that's all there is to it."

Facing the heavenly tribulation head-on, Zhang Yan remained remarkably calm.

Because after the spirit ring condenses.

It gave Zhang Yan an unexpected surprise.

That spiritual ring can be integrated into the nascent soul.

By concentrating the power of the entire Nascent Soul and focusing it on a specific part of Zhang Yan's body, the power of any spells he casts will surge!

This is the effect.

It even surpasses the Nascent Soul stage and is somewhat similar to the Dharma Aspect stage.

But Zhang Yan's current realm is indeed the genuine early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Such ability.

Absolutely unprecedented!

Therefore, Zhang Yan is not afraid of the heavenly tribulation in the sky at all.

"Lightning Palm!"

Zhang Yan wore the Kui Niu True Eye and used the accompanying fourth-order spell.

His right hand's palm lines transformed into lightning patterns.

Between heaven and earth, the wandering power of thunder continuously converged from the palm lines towards the center of the palm.

In a moment.

A lightning ball the size of a human head appeared in Zhang Yan's palm.

But this is not over yet.

"Blessed by the Spirit Ring".

Zhang Yan used the spirit ring he had just condensed again.

Within the dantian, the three-colored spiritual ring moved from behind the nascent soul's head to its right hand.

The nascent soul's right hand was dyed with three colors.

Corresponding.

Zhang Yan's right hand was filled with a vast amount of spiritual energy, intertwined with the Daoist principles of heaven and earth.

That ball of lightning rapidly increased in size.

It radiated a dazzling purple light, within which a terrifying aura permeated.

A thunderball against a heavenly tribulation, a needle against a wheat awn.

Zhang Yan raised his right hand, and a purple lightning ball shot out.

between heaven and earth.

Blue and purple lightning filled the dark void, dazzling and brilliant.

Purple lightning flickered with light, colliding with the heavenly thunder.

boom!
A deafening roar echoed through the sky.

The blue heavenly tribulation, like a waterfall, washed over the lightning orbs released by Zhang Yan.

But the lightning ball remained unmoved.

The rampant lightning was constantly being extinguished, and the power of the heavenly tribulation was being rapidly depleted.

finally.

The blue glow and the purple light vanished simultaneously.

The calamity clouds in the sky quickly brightened, and the darkness dissipated.

The tribulations of the Nascent Soul stage always have a limit.

There was only one lightning bolt.

Zhang Yan forcefully overcame it.

The price paid was that a full ten percent of the mana in his dantian was consumed, and the light of his spirit ring dimmed.

"This spirit ring is indeed powerful!"

"If we were to face Dongfang Yeyang now..."

"I am absolutely capable of suppressing them!"

Zhang Yan looked at his right hand, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.

Although this spirit ring does not increase mana capacity, its effects are unparalleled.

We made it through!

As the heavenly tribulation dissipated, the heavenly rulers were overjoyed.

Having experienced great ups and downs, Zhang Yan easily withstood the final tribulation.

There's even some energy left.

hum!
At this moment, the faded tribulation clouds turned completely white, exuding a peaceful aura, and fell from the sky, encircling Zhang Yan.

Once you survive the heavenly tribulation, Heaven will naturally bestow blessings upon you.

This is a rule that has existed since ancient times.

Zhang Yan was enveloped in auspicious clouds, feeling relaxed all over. His newly broken-through realm showed signs of further improvement.

"Master."

"I'm going into seclusion again."

Zhang Yan could only say one thing to the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"It doesn't matter!"

"You should go into seclusion and focus on your cultivation."

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion waved his hand and said with a smile.

Zhang Yan then returned to his cave, leaving only the Heavenly Lords outside, looking at each other in bewilderment, still unable to react. (End of Chapter)
