Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Junior Brother Zhang."

“Every resource site in the Sea of ​​Buried Demons.”

"It will correspond to the resource locations in the six major resource worlds."

"Outside, there is an even larger Jade Purity Cold Pool, which is occupied by the Imperial Sword Sect."

"Compared to my Divine Weapon Pavilion, the Xuanhuang Secret Realm produces Xuanhuang Qi."

"The Jade Purity Cold Pool produces far more Jade Purity Qi, hundreds of times more!"

Lin Qingyue looked down at the plateau and said to Zhang Yan.

"hundred times?"

Zhang Yan was shocked upon hearing this.

He participated in the last opening of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

He himself obtained the essence of Xuanhuang, but he was an exception.

Besides him, only two other people obtained the Xuanhuang Qi.

This happens only once every sixty years.

In other words.

Every hundred years, only two or three disciples are able to obtain the Xuanhuang Qi and break through the core to become an infant.

And the Imperial Sword Sect.

Occupying the Jade Purity Cold Pool, over two hundred disciples have been able to obtain the Jade Purity Qi within a hundred years.

With the Qi of Jade Purity, even a disciple of average talent might be able to advance one more stage in their Nascent Soul cultivation.

For example, Hwang Yoon-ah.

If one could obtain the Xuanhuang Qi, it might be possible to condense a seventh-stage Nascent Soul.

Unfortunately, resources were scarce, so they had to settle for second best.

This cycle continues, and even if two sects have disciples with the same talent, the gap between them will only widen.

Moreover, the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect are now far superior to those of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, by more than one level.

"This Jade Pure Cold Pool."

"We must occupy it."

Zhang Yan made a decision immediately.

Whether for the grand competition or for the future, the value of this Jade Purity Cold Pool is astonishing!
call out!
The two sped up and landed in the underwater plateau.

The entire plateau was shrouded in a layer of white mist, radiating a spiritual glow, resembling a fairyland.

Cultivating here will be much faster, even without using spirit crystals.

When Zhang Yan landed on the plateau, he felt that the magical power within his body had become much more active.

"It truly is a treasure land."

Zhang Yan sighed.

This is only the outer edge of the plateau.

The two of them had just seen it from above; the real Jade Pure Cold Pool was located deep within the plateau.

"Junior brother."

"If one cultivates in the Jade Purity Cold Pool."

"I am confident that I can break through to the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm within two years!"

Lin Qingyue smiled and said in a crisp voice.

"If it's Senior Sister's breakthrough."

“My Divine Weapon Pavilion has three mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm warriors.”

Zhang Yan was pleasantly surprised.

If that's the case, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will surely break its previous records in this competition.

The two said.

Its body rose and fell, approaching the center of the plateau.

call out!
Just as we passed through a thick white fog, a line of water suddenly appeared!

"What is this?"

Lin Qingyue's expression changed slightly, and the power of heavy water emerged, transforming into a wave that crashed out.

boom!
The waves crashed, but the creatures behind them still attacked once more.

"True Technique of Sword Control!"

Behind Zhang Yan, thirty-six flying swords shot out simultaneously, their star-like sword light shining and illuminating the plateau.

Stab it!

The flying sword was unstoppable and incredibly sharp, piercing through the tough outer armor of living beings.

This is a strange beast, 120 meters long, covered in a skeleton, exuding a dark red aura, and with two large mouths with fangs at the front and back.

The power emanating from his body was comparable to that of the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

However, under Zhang Yan's flying sword, the bone armor was pierced in an instant.

The body was cut in two from the middle.

Even so, the beast was not completely dead.

The severed body writhed and attacked the two, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

"Thunder in the Palm!"

Zhang Yan raised his hand, and the true essence of thunder gathered.

The brilliant magical power within his body gathered on the lines of his palm, transforming into a lightning seal.

Then, it was imprinted heavily on the seawater.

Stab it!

Thunder raged, and lightning burst forth.

The terrifying power of lightning pierced through flesh and blood, and the bloodthirsty aura it emitted was quickly reduced to nothingness.

The last remaining charred flesh and blood fell to the seabed, turning into sewage that drifted with the current.

"This is……"

"Soul-devouring leech?"

Zhang Yan finally discovered the origin of the strange beast from the remains of the corpse.

After entering the Sea of ​​Buried Demons.

He had no idea how many Soul-Devouring Leeches he had killed.

He would never mistake the aura emanating from these wreckage.

"But."

"The Soul-Devouring Leech, unless provoked."

"Generally speaking, they shouldn't launch a proactive attack."

"Moreover, this strange beast is covered in bone armor and has a ferocious aura, unlike the Soul-Devouring Leech I know."

Lin Qingyue also recognized the Soul-Devouring Leech and asked in confusion.

"It was originally."

"It's a Soul-Devouring Leech."

"But the bloodthirsty aura emanating from it affected it."

"Let it happen, these changes."

Zhang Yan waved his hand, intercepting a wisp of bloodthirsty energy, and found the cause.

This wisp of bloodthirsty energy, once in Zhang Yan's hand, was still writhing.

Like an insect.

It exudes a chaotic and violent aura.

And that Devouring Spirit Leech must have absorbed an unknown amount of this substance.

"I went into the deep sea before."

"We also did not detect this bloodthirsty aura."

"Could it be that it's unique to this place?"

Lin Qingyue raised an eyebrow, surprised and suspicious.

"The Sea of ​​Buried Demons."

"It was the main battlefield of the last war between humans and transvestites."

"It's perfectly normal for some bloodthirsty aura to remain."

"There should be more than one mutated Soul-Devouring Leech in this plateau."

Zhang Yan used lightning to extinguish the bloodthirsty aura and spoke in a deep voice.

The Soul-Devouring Leech is a normal mythical beast.

After being ingested by this bloodthirsty energy, it became extremely bloodthirsty.

Even Lin Qingyue couldn't be killed in a short time.

Fortunately, there was Zhang Yan.

call out!
Sure enough, as they continued forward, the ferocious mutated spirit-devouring leeches reappeared within the white mist.

This time, it appeared with three heads.

Fortunately, they were all at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue joined forces, with Lin Qingyue using magic to trap the Soul-Devouring Leech with the power of heavy water.

Zhang Yan used his flying sword to easily kill the Soul-Devouring Leeches.

"The Jade Pure Cold Pool is extremely important."

"Next, I plan to have everyone come over."

"These soul-devouring leeches are extremely dangerous."

"Let's clear out these mutated Soul-Devouring Leeches first, before our junior brothers and sisters get injured."

Zhang Yan killed another batch of Devouring Spirit Leeches and said to Lin Qingyue.

Although the Soul-Devouring Leech posed no threat to Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue.

But for Nascent Soul disciples...

The mutated Spirit-Devouring Sea Leech of the Dharma Aspect Realm is the most terrifying ferocious creature in this seabed.

"Luckily, I have my junior brother."

"Otherwise, relying solely on me and my fellow disciples, this Soul-Devouring Sea Leech wouldn't be so easy to deal with."

Lin Qingyue stood side by side with Zhang Yan and smiled faintly.

She was the strongest senior sister among the previous generation of disciples.

He has always been taking care of the other disciples.

This time, however, it was her junior brother who took care of her.

This feeling was extremely novel, and the urgency and pressure I once felt were much less.

And so, the two continued to clean up the Soul-Swallowing Sea Leeches.

We quickly approached Yuqing Cold Pool in the center of the plateau.

They killed two more Soul-Devouring Leeches.

A spiritual pool, ten meters in diameter, appeared ahead.

The water in the Spirit Pool is distinct from the seawater and they do not mix.

The pool water was the color of chalcedony, rippling with shallow light, like a beautiful piece of jade inlaid in the dark seabed. The water was also extremely cold, radiating an astonishing chill; at the edges, even the seawater had frozen into ice crystals.

A light mist continued to emanate from the surface of the pool, swirling and lingering.

The jade-clear, cold pool, set against this backdrop, appears half-hidden, like a pipa player half-concealing her face, alluring and captivating.

"This is the Jade Purity Cold Pool."

"However, this only brought in water that had no source."

"If it were the real Jade Purity Cold Pool, it would be a small world of its own."

Lin Qingyue gazed at the Jade Pure Cold Pool, her eyes filled with longing.

If we could occupy this place...

Even if it's only for a hundred years.

The next generation of Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples will be able to obtain a large amount of Jade Purity Qi.

"Sister..."

Zhang Yan stepped forward, intending to unveil the veil-like white mist and enter with Lin Qingyue.

"You're having good luck."

"We actually found the Jade Pure Cold Pool!"

"The Imperial Sword Sect has occupied the Jade Purity Cold Pool for a thousand years. This time, we must take it back no matter what."

Suddenly, a joyful voice came from above the plateau.

"Someone!"

Lin Qingyue became wary and immediately looked over.

Zhang Yan also stood still, looking upwards.

There were over a hundred people who came; they must have been part of a group acting together.

Most of these people wore black robes.

At the heart of the mountain is a symbol of Skull Mountain.

Among the five major immortal sects, only Corpse Demon Skull Mountain has such a distinctive personality.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

At this moment, a familiar voice rang out from among the people of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

It was Yang Lianqing, whom I had seen at the last investiture ceremony, with Ma Ze, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, beside him.

"So someone beat me to it?"

"Lian Qing, Ma Ze, do you know this person?"

The leader of the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain looked at Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue and asked in a deep voice.

Among these five major competitions.

Apart from fellow disciples, everyone else is an enemy.

Moreover, this concerns the Jade Pure Cold Pool, and we cannot give up an inch of it.

"Senior Brother Sun."

"This is Young Master Zhang of the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

Yang Lianqing came out and introduced Zhang Yan's identity to Senior Brother Sun.

At this moment, he looked at Zhang Yan.

I'm really torn.

This Jade Pure Cold Pool and Corpse Demon Skull Mountain are absolutely not to be abandoned.

Moreover, the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain also sent ten early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts.

Zhang Yan, however, only had two people.

If it were a contest of magic, Zhang Yan and his companion would be no match for them.

Given Yang Lianqing's friendship with Zhang Yan, he absolutely did not want Zhang Yan to die at the hands of his senior brother.

“Disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.”

Lin Qingyue's gaze swept over these people, and her expression changed slightly.

Originally, the Jade Pure Cold Pool was already within the Divine Weapon Pavilion's grasp, but then another twist occurred.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain are not easy to get along with.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"I never expected to run into you here."

Yang Lianqing sighed inwardly and said to Zhang Yan.

If they met elsewhere, they might be able to catch up.

But now, the situation is not something he alone can change.

"So it's the young master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"I've heard that Young Master Zhang is one of only two Nine-Turn Nascent Soul cultivators among the five great immortal sects of this generation?"

That senior brother Sun squinted, showing great interest in Zhang Yan.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators at the ninth level of cultivation.

The other one is in the Imperial Sword Sect; who would dare to provoke him recklessly?

Only Zhang Yan, born into the Divine Weapon Pavilion, is someone anyone can trample on.

can only say.

Zhang Yan's appearance at the Divine Weapon Pavilion was a mistake in itself.

This statement came out.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain immediately turned hostile.

Although they are one of the five great immortal sects, their actions are no different from those of the demonic sects.

"Senior Brother Sun!"

"I have a connection with Young Master Zhang."

"He has saved my life several times, Senior Brother Sun, can you please let Young Master Zhang go?"

Yang Lianqing looked grim and quickly pleaded with Senior Brother Sun.

However, he was just a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, not even a core disciple, and his voice carried little weight.

The several Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators didn't even glance at Yang Lianqing.

Compared to Yang Lianqing.

Zhang Yan, this ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, is clearly more valuable. Killing him would nip a huge threat in the bud.

"Junior Brother Yang."

"This is not the place for you to speak."

From the crowd, a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm intervened and pulled Yang Lianqing back.

This is his fellow disciple, and he did this for Yang Lianqing's sake.

"Lian Qing."

Zhang Yan looked at Yang Lianqing, whose voice was muffled, and sighed softly.

Yang Lianqing is indeed a very considerate fellow Daoist; he went to such lengths for me.

"Skull Mountain of Bones".

"There is actually a disciple who values ​​loyalty and affection so much."

"However, my junior brother also has considerable personal charm, which is why he was able to plead for his junior brother."

Lin Qingyue's gaze fell on Zhang Yan, and she thought to herself.

Even at this time.

Tensions are high and conflict could break out at any moment.

But Lin Qingyue wasn't too worried, as she knew Zhang Yan's strength very well.

If a fight were to break out, the ten early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain would appear quite imposing.

It remains to be seen who will win and who will lose.

"Young Master Zhang."

"This place is very important to my Corpse Demon Skull Mountain."

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure."

"Your mistake was that you didn't dare to touch the Jade Pure Cold Pool."

Senior Brother Sun sneered, and the power of his Dharma form spread out from his body.

This person, as a leader, is not much weaker than Lin Qingyue.

The dharma image, shrouded in eerie ghostly energy, pressed down on Zhang Yan and his companion.

The war is about to start.

"Senior Brother Sun!"

"Young Master Zhang."

"He not only saved Junior Brother Yang, but also saved my life."

"Please, Senior Brother Sun, show leniency."

Lin Qingyue had already released the power of heavy water, and someone spoke again from within the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

This person was Ma Ze, who owed Zhang Yan a favor in the Yinquan Small World.

"Junior Brother Ma?"

Senior Brother Sun looked at Ma Ze, frowned, and looked very troubled.

Unlike Yang Lianqing, Ma Ze was a core disciple of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

He has reached the seventh stage of Nascent Soul cultivation and is now in the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Even if it were Ma Ze, he would have to think twice before speaking.

"Senior Brother Sun."

"After all, we still have some connections with the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"There's no need to completely offend them."

Just as Senior Brother Sun was about to hesitate, two more Dharma Aspect Realm experts spoke up.

These two are Ma Ze's fellow disciples.

"Since the three junior brothers have spoken up..."

"Then I will spare them both this time."

In the end, Senior Brother Sun chose to leave a way out and did not take action against Zhang Yan and the other two.

"You heard it, too."

"Consider it a show of righteousness from Corpse Mountain Skull, I won't hold it against you."

"You two, leave Yu Qinghan immediately, and we will not hold it against you."

Senior Brother Sun spoke condescendingly and domineeringly.

however.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yan did not leave. Instead, he stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Qingyue.

"Have you finished talking?"

"Who told you I need your mercy?"

Zhang Yan's gaze met that of Senior Brother Sun, and his calm voice was like a thunderclap from a clear sky. (End of Chapter)
