Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Within the Jade Pure Cold Pool.

It was originally a peaceful and tranquil place.

But at this moment, Lin Qingyue's body was covered with dark red patterns, exuding a fierce and chaotic aura.

"Senior sister!"

Zhang Yan used his spiritual sense to call out again.

But Lin Qingyue still didn't react. Her consciousness was still focused in her sea of ​​consciousness, and she didn't notice the changes in the outside world.

"We have no choice but to offend them!"

Helpless, Zhang Yan could only grasp Lin Qingyue's shapely, snow-white shoulders and use his spiritual sense to probe her Dao body.

Zhang Yan only realized this after his spiritual consciousness merged into his Dao body.

Inside Lin Qingyue's body, a dense, spiderweb-like, eerie dark red aura appeared.

It has already been integrated into Lin Qingyue's own magical power.

Her dantian was sealed, and even her consciousness was sealed within her sea of ​​consciousness.

If it had been any later...

This aura will erode the Dharma form, and Lin Qingyue will become a puppet.

"This is……"

"That bloodthirsty aura that caused the Devouring Spirit Leech before!"

Zhang Yan made the connection to the encounter with the mutated spirit-devouring leech outside the plateau.

The Soul-Devouring Leech is not inherently bloodthirsty.

However, after being invaded by that aura, it became extremely violent and ferocious.

At the time, Zhang Yan didn't pay any attention.

Now it seems.

This bloodthirsty aura is hidden at the bottom of this cold pool.

However, Zhang Yan examined his own body and found nothing.

"It should be my senior sister."

"Help me draw upon the pure energy of Yuqing."

"At the same time, I attracted the bloodthirsty energy and absorbed the pure jade energy."

"The remaining bloodthirsty energy has lingered in Senior Sister's body."

"Over the past two years, without realizing it, my senior sister was almost completely corrupted by the bloodthirsty aura."

Zhang Yan quickly understood the cause and effect, and felt extremely guilty.

He received the most benefits.

However, this almost caused Lin Qingyue to suffer a qi deviation.

hum!
Just as Zhang Yan was searching for a way to eliminate the bloodthirsty aura, Lin Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes.

Those once clear and bright eyes have now turned completely blood red.

Wow!
Lin Qingyue clenched her right hand into a claw, gathering bloodthirsty energy, and reached out to grab Zhang Yan's dantian.

"not good!"

"The bloodthirsty aura has already taken control of Senior Sister's Dao body!"

Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.

At the same time, he gathered lightning in his right hand and struck out with a palm!
boom!
The two collided, causing the bottom of the pool to tremble violently. A large number of the surrounding white ice crystals burst open, creating a surge of ice waves.

Although Zhang Yan's cultivation level was lower.

But his combat strength is still above Lin Qingyue's.

Despite this attack, Zhang Yan did not gain much advantage.

One palm against one claw.

A dark red claw mark was left on Zhang Yan's palm.

It was still covered with that bloodthirsty power.

"We must not harm my senior sister's body."

Zhang Yan looked at Lin Qingyue, whose face was full of bloodlust in the distance, and said through gritted teeth.

If it's about dealing with an enemy.

In the early stages of the Dharma Aspect Realm, he could suppress others at will.

But when dealing with Lin Qingyue, he had to be careful about his behavior.

Wow!
At this moment, Lin Qingyue attacked again.

The bloodthirsty aura condensed on her right hand, and dark red scales began to grow on her fair and delicate skin!

boom!
Left with no other choice, Zhang Yan had to strike out with his palm once more.

He controlled his strength perfectly, ensuring he wouldn't hurt Lin Qingyue; each time, he managed to repel her just enough.

This way.

With each collision, a claw mark would be left on Zhang Yan's body.

"This is not the power of blood and evil."

"It should be called, the power of demonic energy!"

"It contains demonic power, and is also mixed with other powers."

"It can erode a person's mind, and after the erosion, it can use a person's physical body to exert even greater strength."

While restraining Lin Qingyue, Zhang Yan was also analyzing the source of this bloodthirsty aura.

He had dealt with the demon race quite a bit before.

He also killed demons at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

From this bloodthirsty power.

He sensed the peculiar fluctuations of demonic power.

And the peculiar scales on Lin Qingyue's arms are clearly a characteristic of a demon.

That must be it.

The demonic power that was left behind in the Sea of ​​Buried Demons is so terrifying.

"No."

"Keep this up."

"Senior Sister's Dharma form and body will be corroded by the demonic energy!"

As time went by, Zhang Yan noticed another change.

This demonic power.

With the help of Zhang Yan's power, he actually tried to devour Lin Qingyue's heavy water magic.

If this continues, Lin Qingyue will be completely controlled and become a killing puppet.

"Thunder is the most yang and the most powerful."

"It can ward off evil spirits."

"The demonic energy that invaded my body just now has been completely dispelled by my lightning power."

"But to eliminate it, close contact is the only option..."

During the battle, Zhang Yan had already found a way to deal with the demonic power.

Of the nine true meanings he has mastered.

The true meaning of thunder can destroy this power.

If it were anyone else, they would have been able to watch helplessly as Lin Qingyue's consciousness sank into oblivion.

But even Zhang Yan.

Only by touching Lin Qingyue's skin can he help her dispel the demonic energy.

Looking at the delicate body that was faintly visible in the pool water, and the dark red scales that kept emerging, Zhang Yan took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Sister."

"That's all."

Zhang Yan calmed down and gathered the magical power of a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Wow!
Lin Qingyue attacked again. In the pool, dark red scales had grown on her arms, making them look extremely ferocious and terrifying compared to her originally snow-white skin.

This time, however, Zhang Yan did not simply push Lin Qingyue away.

It's sizzling!

Zhang Yan used the Illusory Lightning Flash technique, his left hand becoming ethereal, surrounded by lightning, moving as fast as lightning.

The raging lightning annihilated the demonic power released by Lin Qingyue, and then, at an even faster speed, it passed through the dark red light and grabbed Lin Qingyue's slender arm.

Roar!
Lin Qingyue's eyes were bloodshot, and she let out a beast-like roar from her throat.

"Sister."

"You certainly wouldn't want to see yourself like this."

Zhang Yan did not feel fear, but only sorrow.

If it weren't for him, Lin Qingyue wouldn't have become like this.

It's sizzling!

Having grabbed one arm, Zhang Yan used the same method to grab Lin Qingyue's other four limbs.

However, this left almost no gap between their bodies.

"I will help my senior sister recover right away."

Zhang Yan suppressed his somewhat restless blood and qi, and the power of thunder surged out, merging into Lin Qingyue's Dao body.

Within the pool, lightning transformed into a ball of lightning, enveloping the two of them.

This way.

Zhang Yan was able to completely eliminate the demonic energy within Lin Qingyue's body.

In just a moment, Zhang Yan stopped the growth of the dark red scales on Lin Qingyue's body.

Next.

Simply remove the remaining dark red scales completely.

"effective!"

Zhang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he forgot one thing: he could restrain Lin Qingyue's limbs, but he couldn't control her head.

After being corrupted by the demonic energy, Lin Qingyue was left with only the instincts of a demon beast.

With her body confined, she actually tried to tear Zhang Yan's flesh with her mouth.

"Senior sister!"

Zhang Yan stared wide-eyed, trying to bring Lin Qingyue back to her senses.

The voice fell.

Lin Qingyue's sea of ​​consciousness rippled.

There were slight ripples in those blood-red eyes.

Her stunningly beautiful face was stained with crimson lines, her radiance tinged with an eerie quality, a stark contrast to her usual aloofness. "Junior...Brother."

Lin Qingyue's consciousness was struggling.

That captivating face, so close yet frozen in time.

"Sister."

"Try to suppress your animalistic instincts."

"I will be able to help you eliminate the demonic power very soon."

Zhang Yan seized the opportunity to discuss it with Lin Qingyue.

"Um……"

Lin Qingyue closed her eyes, her features scrunched up, resolutely resisting the chaotic force.

"Fortunately."

"Senior sister was not completely corrupted."

Zhang Yan stared at Lin Qingyue before him, thinking to himself.

But he was too happy too soon.

His thunderous power made the demonic energy within Lin Qingyue feel threatened.

It instinctively launched a counterattack.

Lin Qingyue's weakened consciousness was suppressed once again.

His eyes opened, and they transformed into a deep, blood-red color, eerily chaotic.

"Or not?"

"Then I have no choice but to sacrifice myself."

Zhang Yan's thoughts raced, but he couldn't come up with a good way to restrict Lin Qingyue.

Forcibly using magic might damage Lin Qingyue's sea of ​​consciousness.

That's all we can do.

In the last and simplest way, let Lin Qingyue vent her bloodlust.

in short.

It's about letting Lin Qingyue find a place to take a bite.

"Anyway, I've trained my body in the Thunder River."

"At most, my senior sister's Dao body can only break my skin."

Zhang Yan thought to himself, "I might as well concentrate my mind and continue to help Lin Qingyue suppress the demonic power."

however.

With bloodshot eyes, Lin Qingyue moved directly in front of Zhang Yan.

next moment.

Lin Qingyue actually bit Zhang Yan's lip.

Zhang Yan opened his eyes again, and their eyes met. In Lin Qingyue's eyes, there was still only bloodlust.

He wasn't sure if Lin Qingyue's own consciousness had interfered with it.

But given the current situation, Zhang Yan can only say that he is experiencing both pain and pleasure.

"I just hope so."

"Don't blame me when you wake up, senior sister."

Zhang Yan sighed inwardly.

His body was extremely resilient; aside from some pain, Lin Qingyue couldn't harm his flesh at all.

But her bloodthirsty instincts prevented her from relaxing at all.

Amidst the dazzling lightning, calm returned once more.

The demonic power within Lin Qingyue's body was systematically dissipated by the power of thunder.

……

Deep within the Sea of ​​Buried Demons.

A top-tier resource treasure trove.

This is a giant tree on the seabed, reaching a height of a thousand meters.

On the tree grow fruits that resemble peaches in shape and are as translucent as crystal.

If you look closely, you'll see that all of these fruits grow upwards.

Above the fruit, there were rows of orange, faceless little figures sitting cross-legged.

The peach is flat all over, like a crystal enlightenment platform.

The little figures above resemble enlightened cultivators.

This fruit is called Tianxiang Crystal Peach.

Each fruit, upon its birth, absorbs a wisp of the power of heaven and earth, which is contained within the little man.

Inside the peach below is pure spiritual energy.

If one can consume a Celestial Crystal Peach whole, it can be directly transformed into Dharma Aspect power, which can help a Dharma Aspect cultivator increase their Dharma Aspect by one zhang.

The medicinal properties contained within the fruit are equivalent to the power of the Dharma form born from heaven and earth.

Therefore, it is called the Celestial Crystal Fruit.

However, each person can only take a maximum of three pills.

Any more than that, and it will have no effect.

On the Heavenly Crystal Fruit Tree in front of us, there are forty-eight Heavenly Crystal Fruits.

This attracted powerful figures from various factions.

In the seas surrounding this giant tree, all the powerful figures from the four great immortal sects arrived.

This includes.

Zhang Yan hadn't seen Li Yan and the others for a long time.

"Forty-eight Celestial Crystal Fruits!"

"Each one can raise the Dharma Aspect of a cultivator by one zhang."

"Junior Sister Lin, the Dharma Form has been achieved, twenty-seven zhang."

"If we can get three, Junior Sister Lin will be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"And there's Junior Brother Zhang, who's at the Nascent Soul stage. If he could obtain one, the benefits would be immeasurable!"

Li Yan, who was in the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, hid in a corner and thought to himself.

He had been lying low in this place for half a year.

I've been waiting for an opportunity.

Because beneath this ancient tree, there are four auras of mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators!
Indeed, they are powerful figures from the Imperial Sword Sect.

Five members of the Imperial Sword Sect at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm participated in the competition.

One of them was responsible for protecting Dongfang Yeyang and the others; the rest were all here.

It was precisely because of the Imperial Sword Sect.

Li Yan dared not act rashly.

But now, the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from the surrounding Qingyun Dao Sect, Corpse Ghost Skull Mountain, and Divine Phoenix Valley have all gathered here.

As long as they rush in.

Li Yan was able to take advantage of the chaos and obtain a few.

With three or more, the Divine Weapon Pavilion can gain an additional mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm warrior.

That's why Li Yan chose to take the risk.

"Do it!"

Suddenly, an overwhelming power of Dharma energy erupted around the ancient tree.

One of the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators, unable to contain himself any longer, finally made his move.

Judging by the direction, they were coming from the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

The Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, along with two individuals at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, have all arrived.

"Humph!"

"Don't even think about eating it all by yourself!"

The Divine Phoenix Valley side also made a move. Although they only had one person at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, their Dharma Aspect was fifty feet long, and their strength was extremely formidable.

"Everyone."

"Five are enough for me."

On the other side, a faint female voice rang out, belonging to two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from the Qingyun Dao Sect.

The Qingyun Dao Sect has never been fond of contention.

But this time, for the sake of the Heavenly Crystal Fruit, he also chose to get involved.

Even so, only five are needed.

"Wait for me here."

To keep a low profile, Li Yan left his fellow disciples behind and went into battle alone.

Forty-eight Celestial Crystal Fruits, six mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.

Li Yan was confident that he could seize more than three and still escape unscathed!

boom!
A deep-sea battle is about to erupt.

The Five Sects Grand Competition has been going on for four years, and this is the first time that all five major immortal sects have gathered together.

Almost all the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators gathered together.

They were all at least thirty feet tall, towering like the heavens and the earth, and they ignited a great battle.

"Fellow Daoist Xia."

"I only need four Celestial Crystal Fruits."

"Why don't we join forces and then go our separate ways?"

Li Yan unleashed his forty-one-zhang-long Dharma form, transmitting his voice to the female cultivator from the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Among the five major immortal sects.

The Qingyun Dao Sect is a non-competitive sect and has the best relationship with the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Li Yan, as the senior disciple of the previous generation of disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, had some friendship with the senior sister of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

"can."

The female cultivator hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Neither of the two major powers asks for much.

There's no need for a life-or-death struggle.

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Xia is here."

Li Yan was secretly pleased.

At least there's no need to worry about the Qingyun Dao Sect targeting us during the great battle. (End of Chapter)
