Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Divine Weapon Peak.

This is the main peak of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and also the highest mountain in the entire Heavenly Fire Great World, reaching a height of 30,000 zhang.

Towering into the clouds, shrouded in mist, with colorful clouds connecting the sky and the earth, it is like a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth.

Meanwhile, at the summit of this mountain, in a vast plaza...

The area was filled with disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The disciples stood solemnly, surrounding the four hundred disciples who stood in neat rows.

These disciples all emanated magical power fluctuations at the Nascent Soul stage or above, with the weakest being at the early Nascent Soul stage.

They will represent the Divine Weapon Pavilion in this Five Sects Grand Competition.

In order to compete for the resources of the Divine Weapon Pavilion for the next hundred years, they fought against five other major forces.

In front of all the disciples.

Two figures stood there, seemingly insignificant compared to the vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth), yet their auras were as deep and boundless as the ocean.

These two were Zhang Yan and Li Yan, the senior disciple of the previous generation.

The Five Sects Grand Competition is about to begin.

The disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion should set off.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"Try your best to help me bring Yoona back."

Huang Lian stood in the crowd and looked at Zhang Yan and Huang Yun'er.

Do you take me for a three-year-old child?

Huang Yun'er, dressed in a light blue dress, put her hands on her hips and glared at Huang Lian.

"I……"

Huang Lian scratched his head, unsure how to answer.

No matter his age, he is still the younger brother in front of his older sister.

Zhang Yan watched the siblings chatting and laughing, a smile appearing on his lips.

I've been in the Divine Weapon Pavilion for so many years.

He had long since become a part of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"most."

"Not one is missing."

Zhang Yan glanced at Song Qizhen and the others, thinking to himself.

Compared to a large-scale selection competition.

His strength has increased significantly once again.

At the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, he was no longer afraid.

In the Five Sects Grand Competition, his strength was enough to support a whole world.

At this time.

In the void, the power of heaven and earth distorted, and several figures emerged.

The person at the head was none other than the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, with the various Heavenly Lords behind him.

When the Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion arrived, the square immediately fell silent as everyone looked up at his figure.

"Everyone."

"I don't need to elaborate on the situation of the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"For this grand competition of the Five Sects, I only hope that you can all return safely!"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion looked down over the entire square, his deep voice reaching everyone's ears.

Shenbingge has been at the bottom for many years.

Even if they're not the best, they won't be that much worse; these disciples are the most important.

"Li Yan, Zhang Yan!"

After speaking, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master looked at the two leaders.

"exist!"

Li Yan and Zhang Yan responded solemnly.

“Act within your ability.”

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion stared for a long time before uttering only four words.

"Yes!"

Although it was only four words, the two of them could better understand the earnest expectations of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion has been weak for too long and cannot afford any risks.

"Board the ship."

The voice of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master echoed, and the group of Heavenly Lords made way for him.

A giant airship, obscuring the sky, slowly descended.

The four hundred disciples set off one by one, following Zhang Yan and Li Yan, and landed on the floating ship.

On Divine Weapon Peak, many disciples gazed at the floating ship, their eyes filled with hope.

Standing atop the floating bow, Zhang Yan felt a surge of excitement.

"set off!"

Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord and the other three Heavenly Lords landed on the ship. The formation was activated, and the floating ship set sail, heading towards the outside of the Heavenly Fire Great World.

……

On the airship.

Zhang Yan looked at the Divine Weapon Pavilion until it turned into a shadow on the ground before withdrawing his gaze.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"The Pavilion Master said that we should just do our best and not belittle ourselves."

Li Yan stood beside Zhang Yan and placed his hand on Zhang Yan's shoulder.

Li Yan was dressed in a gray robe and had an unremarkable appearance, but he gave off a calm and composed feeling that put people at ease.

"I see."

Zhang Yan nodded without explaining anything.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"Tell me about the Five Sects Competition."

"I heard that in this Five Sects Competition, the Imperial Sword Sect has already considered first place as a sure thing."

"Therefore, we specially took out a lotus leaf from the Heavenly Lotus as one of the individual rewards for the first place winner of the competition."

"Those are the lotus leaves of the Heavenly Lotus, much more precious than lotus seeds..."

Li Yan stood beside Zhang Yan and chatted eloquently about the competition.

"The lotus leaves of the Heavenly Lotus?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.

For the past six months, he has been refining flying swords, completely oblivious to the world around him.

Moreover, even the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion never dared to hope for it.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion can achieve first place.

Zhang Yan was not informed of this information.

This was the first time Zhang Yan had ever heard of the fact that winning first place in the competition would earn one a lotus leaf from the Heavenly Lotus.

He was no stranger to the Heavenly Lotus.

It is a top-grade spiritual medicine of the sixth rank.

Its lotus seeds, known as Tianxin Dao Lotus Seeds, can help people undergo the transformation of their nascent soul.

When Zhang Yan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he took three pills at the same time.

These lotus seeds are extremely precious.

Not to mention the lotus leaves of the Wentiandao Lotus.

Lotus seeds can be produced continuously, but lotus leaves will not grow back if even one is missing.

I can take out a lotus leaf.

It is both a display of the profound heritage of the Imperial Sword Sect and a demonstration of its pride.

Anyway, they'll still be number one.

This lotus leaf will eventually fall back into the hands of their own people.

But for Zhang Yan...

But there is a reason why this lotus leaf must be obtained.

"If only I could get this lotus leaf."

"This will help Qingluan rebuild her Dao foundation!"

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

Having been away from the Central Plains for many years, he had not forgotten his Daoist companion who was far away in the Qingheng Sect.

these years.

He found several ways to improve the foundation of the Dao.

But none of them could reach the heavens.

At the very least, he should wait until he breaks through to the Dharma Aspect Realm before he is qualified to seek it out.

however.

This time, however, the Heavenly Lotus Leaf, which is extremely rare and hard to come by, appeared.

If you miss it, who knows when the next opportunity will come?

"Senior brother."

"The strongest among the five sects in the Grand Competition".

"About what level of strength?"

Zhang Yan suddenly asked.

"In the past..."

"Actually, all the major sects are pretty much the same."

"The strongest are all at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, but their numbers vary greatly."

"We know, it's just me."

"Other immortal sects usually have two or three people, but only the Imperial Sword Sect has more than five."

"Moreover, I heard that there is a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect whose Dharma Aspect has reached sixty zhang, just one step away from the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"But don't worry, if we can't beat them, we can avoid them."

Li Yan thought Zhang Yan was worried about him, and patted his chest to assure him.

"A Dharma form that is sixty feet tall."

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered.

A sixty-foot-tall Dharma form is the limit of the middle stage of the Dharma Form Realm; the next step is the late stage of the Dharma Form Realm.

The arrogance of the Imperial Sword Sect is not unfounded.

To win first place in the competition.

Zhang Yan is about to contend with the one from the Imperial Sword Sect, and will also have to face more than five mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.

"We have to give it a try."

Zhang Yan muttered to himself.

While chatting with Li Yan, the airship left the Heavenly Fire World.

After crossing the teleportation channel, I arrived in a new and vast world.

Leave the teleportation portal.

After a moment of dizziness, a new world unfolded, like a scroll painting.

At first glance, the sky above is filled with clouds that stretch as far as the eye can see. The clouds roll and swirl, churning and shifting in an unpredictable manner.

Below the clouds lay a vast, flat expanse of land.

You can't even see how many undulating mountains there are.

The land was lush and green, full of vegetation, and there was hardly any sign of human habitation.

There was also a dampness coming towards me.

Looking further into the distance, there is a boundless ocean, its color a deep, almost blackish blue.

Looking down from the airship.

The earth and the sea divide the world in two, creating an incomparably magnificent landscape.

"arrive."

"This is it."

"The venue for this Five-Skill Competition is the Sea Cliff World."

Li Yan looked down and introduced it to Zhang Yan.

"Sea Cliff World?"

"This sea is boundless; how much land does it occupy?"

Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"This sea."

"It is called the Sea of ​​Burying Demons."

"But it occupies 60% of the Sea Cliff World."

Li Yan replied.

Currently, the human race has a total of thirty-six Great Worlds.

Of these, six are resource-rich worlds, leaving thirty more.

However, not every great world is suitable for human cultivation.

Several of these great worlds have not yet fully recovered due to the war between humans and demons.

This Great World of Sea Cliffs is one of them.

The Sea Cliff World was once like other worlds.

It has a vast territory and abundant resources.

But this is the edge of the human territory, bordering the demon territory.

The last major conflict between humans and transgender people broke out.

This is the most intense battlefield.

The land has been leveled time and time again by the aftershocks, resulting in the current situation where there isn't even a single high mountain left.

But the situation was even more dire in another area.

It was so badly damaged that it was dented, and then the water system overflowed, forming the largest ocean in this human territory.

Countless demon corpses were buried there.

Therefore, it is called that.

The Sea of ​​Buried Demons.

After listening to Li Yan's introduction, the airship arrived at the shore of the Sea of ​​Burial Demons.

"This is a grand competition of the five sects."

"To be precise, it will take place in the Sea of ​​Burial of Demons."

"The powerful figures from the five major immortal sects then scattered a large amount of resources into the sea."

"These resources fluctuate with the waves and are distributed throughout the entire Sea of ​​Burial Demons."

“And each resource-rich area corresponds to a true resource zone.”

"The sole purpose of this competition is to seize more resources beneath this sea."

"There is also a way to save your life. If you surrender, you can no longer fight once you leave the sea. Otherwise, the pursuers will be killed by the Heavenly Emperor."

Crimson Heavenly Lord came over and told everyone the details.

I understand that.

Everyone fell from the airship.

Standing on the shore, there is a vast ocean in front of you, unfathomable, as if there is no way back.

Zhang Yan subconsciously used his spiritual sense to probe the seawater.

However, he discovered that the range of his spiritual sense was less than ten miles.

On land, his spiritual sense could easily cover a range of hundreds of miles.

Such a difference is too great.

"Senior Brother Li."

"This seawater is strange too."

Zhang Yan gave Li Yan a reminder.

Li Yan quickly released his spiritual sense as well, his expression somewhat grim.

"I am in the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"The distance we explored was less than thirty li."

"If we go inside, won't we become blind?"

Li Yan looked at Zhang Yan and said with dissatisfaction.

This sea is known as the Sea of ​​Burial of Demons.

It still retains a special power that can suppress spiritual consciousness.

The Heavenly Lords of the various immortal sects should have known this long ago, which is why they specifically chose this place.

As Li Yan said.

The limited range of exploration makes one very vulnerable to ambushes in the Sea of ​​Burial Demons.

Moreover, exploring an area can be extremely dangerous.

It's hard to say whether this characteristic is good or bad.

However, once inside, you must be extremely careful.

"The sea is unexplorable and fraught with danger."

"But the coastline is still safe."

"And try to stay close to the sea surface. If you are really no match for them, you can leave the sea and admit defeat."

"In this way, it's not entirely a disadvantage for my Divine Weapon Pavilion."

At this moment, Lin Qingyue walked over and said.

This is a competition of five major categories.

It has changed dramatically from the past.

Even Li Yan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But since we're already here, we can't just turn back, especially since this underwater resource area is real.

Including the Human Race Alliance.

There are six major powers in total, distributed in different sea areas.

Standing on the shore, you can hardly see any other forces.

But everyone from each faction received the starting position map.

The coastline where Shenhuang Valley is located.

"Divine Weapon Pavilion".

“Right around us.”

"As long as we explore the eastern sea area, we will surely find them."

Chen Xiao, the leader of the Eight Phoenix Chicks, looked at the location of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and sneered.

"That Zhang Yan."

"They're still trying to fool us."

"In the end, didn't we still participate in the Five Great Competitions?"

"Senior Brother Chen, if you ever run into Zhang Yan, you must avenge me!"

Yue Ping, his face full of resentment, said to Chen Xiao.

"Of course I won't let Zhang Yan get away with this."

"My meteorite crystal is still in his hands."

"The only concern now is to prevent him from escaping off the surface of the sea."

Chen Xiao sneered as he listened to Yue Ping's effeminate voice.

"Senior brother, don't worry."

"With so many disciples, how dare he escape alone?"

Yue Ping said in a sinister tone.

……

The coast where the Imperial Sword Sect is located.

Dongfang Yeyang wore a crimson sword-wielding robe, her slender figure carrying a long sword on her back.

Standing on a reef, gazing across the sea.

The location of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is right across the sea.

This means that to engage in close combat, one would need to cross extremely long seas.

No matter how far.

"I will surely cut off your head and avenge myself!"

Dongfang Yeyang's eyes were filled with a cold glint, and his voice was icy cold.

"Junior sister."

"You are too fixated on your own ideas, and your sword heart is flawed, making it difficult for you to achieve the Great Dao."

"If you continue like this, your sword control technique will hardly improve any further."

Not far behind Dongfang Yeyang, a male cultivator with blue hair sat cross-legged on the sea with his eyes closed, and slowly spoke.

His hair stood on end, like slender swords pointing straight to the sky.

There was also a blue sword pattern between his eyebrows.

It sat cross-legged on the sea surface, as if asleep.

As the sea breeze blows, one can see that he seems to be swaying in the wind, like a light feather.

Behind him, a phantom image of a nascent soul on nine lotus platforms flashed by.

"Big brother."

"If we can't kill Zhang Yan..."

Even if I attain the Great Dao, what use will it be?

Dongfang Yeyang asked with a light laugh.

"Ugh!"

The male cultivator sighed and remained silent.

when!when!when!
Just then, a resounding bell suddenly rang out between heaven and earth, echoing through the clouds and reverberating across the sea.

"The competition officially begins!"

"Those who have not entered the sea within one incense stick's time shall be deemed to have given up!"

Another voice rang out, and the Five Sects Grand Competition officially began.

"Big brother."

"I'll take the first step."

Dongfang Yeyang leaped into the deep Sea of ​​Burial Demons. (End of Chapter)
