Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"remember."

"I don't ask you how much territory you can occupy."

"I have only one order: the Divine Weapon Pavilion must be crushed underfoot."

On a coastline, Black Wind Heavenly Lord addressed his disciples.

These disciples have always been trained in secret.

Today is my first time participating in the Five Great Competitions.

Although it can't compare to the other four great immortal sects.

But we are still confident in suppressing the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"understand!"

The disciples responded in unison.

Plop, plop!
One by one, the figures disappeared into the sea.

"The Five Great Immortal Sects".

"It hasn't changed in far too long."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord stood with his hands behind his back, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

……

when!
The resounding sound of bells and drums reached the location of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"here we go."

Zhang Yan gazed at the horizon.

"Into the sea!"

Li Yan shouted loudly, and then he and Zhang Yan were the first to fall into the sea.

Even at the shoreline, the depth exceeds 100 meters.

Moreover, this seawater was extremely heavy.

In addition, there is the special feature of suppressing spiritual consciousness.

Upon entering the Sea of ​​Burial Demons, everyone felt as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs.

Fortunately, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage...

There is essentially no difference between being at sea and on land.

"Stay close."

"Don't fall behind."

Li Yan shouted loudly, reminding his disciples.

A total of four hundred people gathered together, moving in a grand procession through the sea.

I am in the sea.

The light on the sea surface had already dimmed by the time it reached this point.

After traveling some distance, the depth of the sea exceeded three hundred meters.

Below was pitch black, like an endless abyss.

Only a few scattered special minerals emitted a faint glow.

The seabed is uneven and contains many strange and unusual skeletons.

"The Sea of ​​Demon Burial."

"Indeed, it contains the remains of many demons."

Zhang Yan's gaze swept across the seabed as he thought to himself.

A vast expanse of sea.

It's all because of the war between humans and transvestites that happened back then.

This shows how brutal that battle was.

"It can be slightly dispersed."

"The distance between each person should not exceed three li."

After traveling dozens of miles from the coast, Li Yan gave the order.

The four hundred people immediately dispersed in a spherical arrangement.

Safety is paramount.

But the goal remains the same: to find resource-rich areas.

If four hundred people are huddled together, how can they be found?
that's it.

Once dispersed, they resemble a large net, covering an area of ​​over a hundred miles around, greatly increasing the probability of finding resource sites.

Even so, in this boundless ocean, we are still just mayflies.

After traveling more than a hundred miles.

Li Yan gave another order: to begin the winding path and expand the search area.

Five days passed in this way.

"Senior brother."

"Now, as I comprehend the true meaning..."

Song Qizhen followed Zhang Yan, seeking his guidance.

I haven't had the time before.

Now is a good opportunity.

Wow!
Suddenly, a faint white line appeared in the dark sea ahead.

Its speed was extremely fast, comparable to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and its waterline continued to extend, just in time to intersect with Song Qizhen's path of advancement.

"what is that?"

Song Qizhen exclaimed in surprise.

His spiritual sense could only detect distances of three miles.

The discovery of this waterline is imminent.

Bang!
The immense force exploded, creating a cavity in the seawater.

The emptiness itself is not frightening; what is frightening is the gaping maw, as large as a person, inside the emptiness.

This large, round mouth is filled with tiny, spiraling teeth.

With Song Qizhen's strength, if he were swallowed up, he would definitely be turned into mincemeat.

Not even a single complete bone will be left.

After the mouth opened wide, the outer cavity contracted, and the surrounding seawater poured in.

This caused Song Qizhen's body to surge towards the large mouth.

"what?"

Song Qizhen's expression changed drastically; this was the first time he had encountered a creature from the Burial Demon Sea.

However, he is, after all, a genius at the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation.

He opened his folding fan, waved it, and magical power surged, forming a whirlwind in the dark seabed.

Gum!

Then an even bigger bubble appeared, squeezing open the gaping maw.

Song Qizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But in an instant, that gaping maw began to frantically devour the air.

The bubble contracted violently, once again propelling Song Qizhen toward the gaping maw.

"This……"

Song Qizhen stared wide-eyed, her face filled with horror.

hum!
At the critical moment, a clear and melodious sword cry rang out.

In the dark sea, a dazzling starlight suddenly appeared.

Like a meteorite, it streaked across the vast, boundless sky, pierced through endless darkness, and descended upon the world.

Stab it!

The sword light surged forth, like a meteor shower, cleaving the gaping maw of the abyss in two from above.

The blisters dissipated.

A stream of bright blue blood spread through the seawater.

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of Song Qizhen.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Song Qizhen quickly thanked him.

The visitor was Zhang Yan.

"The strength of this strange beast."

"Comparable to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, you were too careless."

Zhang Yan looked at the corpse and said to Song Qizhen.

Song Qizhen scratched his head.

With his strength, he shouldn't be in such a sorry state even when facing a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Big brother."

At this moment, Xiao Wanyi and her disciples gathered around.

The corpse of that strange beast was still floating in the seawater.

Viewed from the side, this strange beast is over thirty meters long.

It has an overall spindle shape, but a flat body. The upper body is black and the lower body is grayish-white, with a clear distinction between the two.

It has no scales on its body, and you can't see its eyes.

It has a large mouth covered with sharp teeth, one at the front and one at the back.

Such a strange and exotic beast.

None of them had ever seen it before, and they were all filled with doubt.

"This is a Soul-Devouring Leech."

It was Li Yan, with his extensive knowledge, who immediately revealed the origin of the strange beast.

"This kind of soul-devouring leech."

"It relies on the large openings at the front and back to filter seawater and absorb its spiritual energy to survive."

"Moreover, they are not very intelligent and their actions are usually linear."

“Junior Brother Song was just in its path and was attacked indiscriminately.”

Li Yan explained.

"Such strange creatures exist?"

Zhang Yan found this somewhat intriguing.

This is the first time that living beings have been discovered in this Sea of ​​Buried Demons.

Unexpectedly, it's so special.

"but."

"This strange beast has low intelligence."

"However, its body is extremely tough, comparable to a magic weapon of the same level."

Zhang Yan retrieved his flying sword and gave a reminder.

Even his fourth-grade top-quality tempered white copper flying sword.

Cutting open the body of the Soul-Eating Leech is no easy task.

Heaven takes from the surplus and gives to the deficiency.

This strange beast has little intelligence, but its body is extremely powerful.

"clear."

The disciples readily agreed.

These strange beasts that move in a straight line can be easily evaded if you are fast enough.

"Keep searching."

Zhang Yan, riding his flying sword, was about to continue forward.

"Junior Brother Zhang." "Wait a moment."

Li Yan spoke, causing Zhang Yan to stop.

"This kind of soul-devouring leech."

"Low intelligence."

"But it is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy."

"A spirit-devouring leech has appeared here. There's a high probability that there's a resource site nearby."

"Now that we've found the second Soul-Devouring Leech, there's a high probability we'll make some discoveries."

Li Yan stood beside the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Sea Leech and explained.

Buried in the sea of ​​monsters.

With their spiritual consciousness restricted, the Soul-Devouring Leech is an excellent guide.

"That's what senior brother said."

"Now, let's save the second Soul-Devouring Leech."

Zhang Yan nodded and spoke to his disciples.

With a clear goal in mind.

That makes things much simpler.

The group searched the surrounding area, using the direction from which the Soul-Devouring Leech had come as the center.

"Brother!"

Half an hour later, Xiao Wanyi's voice rang out.

Zhang Yan looked over and, sure enough, there was another white line of water stretching from a distance toward the west.

"Chase!"

Zhang Yan rode his flying sword and quickly rushed over.

The flying sword sliced ​​through the water ahead, and even in the sea, Zhang Yan's speed was not much slower.

This is a leech that is less than 20 meters long.

As expected, it was moving in a straight line.

Led by Zhang Yan and Li Yan, the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion quickly caught up.

After traveling approximately 600 li, a pale blue spot of light appeared in the sea ahead.

Like the moon's reflection in the sea, it sways gently with the ripples.

As the distance closes.

The spot of light became clearer and clearer; it was a basin in the sea with a diameter of more than twenty miles.

The pale blue light came from the exposed spirit stones and spirit crystals on the mountains surrounding the basin!

"So many spirit stones and spirit crystals?"

"This is simply a treasure trove!"

Huang Yun'er looked at the basin with shining eyes.

really.

By following the Soul-Devouring Leech, you can find resource locations.

However, everyone had their eyes on this treasure trove.

The same applies to the Soul-Devouring Leech.

At this moment, there were more than twenty Soul-Devouring Leeches constantly moving within the basin.

The most powerful one is nearly 100 meters long and has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"These are soul-devouring leeches."

"Traversing through this basin."

"Although it won't launch an attack."

"But if they were sucked into the giant mouth, ordinary disciples would surely die."

"Junior Brother Zhang, deal with these Spirit Devouring Leeches first."

Having discovered this treasure trove, Li Yan certainly couldn't let it slip by.

Done.

He then fell into the basin and attacked the Soul-Devouring Leech within.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yan followed closely behind, surrounded by dazzling starlight, and twelve flying swords appeared.

As they landed in the basin, a rich spiritual energy, mixed with seawater, rushed towards them.

These spirit stones and spirit crystals are piled up here.

The spiritual energy it emitted transformed the seawater into a spiritual liquid, making every sip highly nourishing.

No wonder the Soul-Devouring Leeches would be lurking here.

But for the sake of spirit stones and spirit crystals, they had no choice but to kill it.

Zhang Yan formed a hand seal and stood tall above the basin.

Twelve flying swords cleaved the sea, like twelve stars falling, dazzling and brilliant.

Stab it!

A flash of sword light, and a Soul-Devouring Leech turned into a corpse, staining the deep sea with blood.

Just for a moment.

The twelve spirit-devouring leeches died together.

Such a speed of killing is even faster than that of Lin Qingyue, who is at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The body of the Soul-Devouring Leech is incredibly tough.

Only a sharp tool can break through the outer skin.

"Junior Brother Zhang's flying sword."

"Even compared to the Imperial Sword Sect, they are not inferior!"

Li Yan crushed the Nascent Soul Peak Devouring Sea Leech and exclaimed in admiration.

Zhang Yan was not only skilled in swordsmanship.

This flying sword was personally crafted by him, and he wielded it with perfect harmony.

at this point.

No disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect can compare.

Moreover, Zhang Yan also obtained the complete fourth-order sword control technique.

"You flatter me, senior brother."

Zhang Yan made a modest remark, and the twelve flying swords returned to his side, circling his body.

The blade of the flying sword was so sharp that it could cut through even the omnipresent seawater, leaving it untouched.

"Senior Brother Zhang's strength."

"Increasingly unfathomable!"

The disciples, astonished, landed in the basin and cleared away the corpses.

"What a rich spiritual energy."

When they actually landed in the basin, the disciples were shocked once again.

For most disciples, simply staying in this basin without doing anything would be a tremendous opportunity.

The basin was extremely large, and the people were divided into different areas.

While cultivating, they also mined large quantities of spirit stones and spirit crystals from the basin.

The disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion have temporarily settled down.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Each disciple received a considerable amount of spirit crystals, and cultivating in the basin was even more effective than absorbing spirit crystals.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

Li Yan arrived at Zhang Yan's cultivation place.

"What is it, Senior Brother?"

Zhang Yan made an appearance.

Taking advantage of the basin's unique features, he refined two demon souls at the Dharma Aspect Realm, striving to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

With his trump cards, once he breaks through...

He was confident that he could suppress the late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

"This basin."

"Among all the resource areas in the entire Demon Burial Sea, it can be ranked in the middle."

"But for those of us in the Dharma Aspect Realm, it's not enough."

"Moreover, this time it is the grand competition of the five major sects, so I must strive for more resources."

"Therefore, I plan to take my disciples at the Dharma Aspect Realm to explore the deep sea."

Li Yan explained his purpose.

This basin, close to the coast, is relatively safe.

There's basically no need to worry, as disciples from other sects are coming.

Moreover, even if they came, they would have little chance of winning if attacked by all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion in the Sea of ​​Burial Demons.

You could say you have nothing to worry about.

However, Li Yan, as the senior disciple of the previous generation, was still only at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Unwilling to accept this, they remained in the basin.

At the very least, we should explore deeper waters.

"Junior brother, you can rest assured."

"I only take on disciples at the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"Even if we encounter other sects, they are no match for us, and we can still escape unscathed."

"Even the disciples from the previous generation, as long as they are not at the Dharma Aspect Realm, will be kept and will follow your arrangements."

"In addition, I left Dongfang Fu behind to ensure he has the combat strength of a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator."

After careful consideration, Li Yan told Zhang Yan about his plans.

"Since Senior Brother has already made arrangements."

"Then let's do as Senior Brother says."

Zhang Yan didn't say much.

Li Yan's arrangements were already very thoughtful.

Moreover, he was doing it for the future of the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion, so Zhang Yan had no reason to stop him.

call out!
After the exchange, Li Yan left with his disciples who were at or above the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Zhang Yan showed no emotion, but Dongfang Fu's eyes revealed a hint of resentment.

They're both at the Dharma Aspect Realm, so why should he stay?
look down on him?

"Humph!"

Dongfang Fu snorted coldly and disappeared into the basin.

Zhang Yan glanced at him and then returned to his cave.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Zhang Yan was calmly refining the demon soul in his cave.

Occasionally, this basin would attract new Soul-devouring leeches, all of which he exterminated.

This day.

Suddenly, a white line of water appeared on the calm seabed, seemingly running through the entire ocean.

Zhang Yan was alerted and appeared above the basin.

Inside the waterline was a spirit-devouring leech, over 120 meters long!
Its body, like a dragon, kept crashing through the seawater as it moved forward.

The aura emanating from it had clearly reached the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm! (End of Chapter)
