Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Faced with Zhang Yan's questioning.

Xia Yubing frowned.

She was sent by Li Yan.

Zhang Yan's tone displeased her greatly.

"Who are you?"

"My senior sister kindly saved someone, and this is how you respond?"

Xia Yubing's junior brother came out and looked at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan raised his head.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a fierce aura emanated from him, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"you……"

The man instinctively took a step back.

The cultivation fluctuations emanating from Zhang Yan clearly indicated that he was only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, he sensed a deadly threat from Zhang Yan.

"Junior brother."

Lin Qingyue reached out and pressed down on Zhang Yan's shoulder.

"I was impulsive."

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the surging magical power.

I heard the news of Li Yan's death.

Zhang Yan was furious like never before.

He never imagined that Li Yan had actually perished.

Lin Qingyue was also upset, but as the senior sister, she had to remain calm.

"Fellow Daoist Xia."

"How did Senior Brother Li..."

Lin Qingyue asked a question.

"Long story short."

"We discovered an ancient tree in the deep sea."

"Then they each used their own methods to seize the Celestial Crystal Fruit."

"Although Li Yan is alone, he can at least protect himself."

"But when it was time to leave, Zhou Jue of the Imperial Sword Sect revealed his cultivation level as a late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator..."

Xia Yubing recounted Li Yan's experiences before his death.

"Late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm".

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Divine Weapon Pavilion felt a chill in their hearts.

Li Yan's strength, though not that great.

However, it can still save its life when facing opponents of the same level.

However, they are powerless against those in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"It's the Imperial Sword Sect again!"

The words "Imperial Sword Sect" appeared in Zhang Yan's mind, and the killing intent emanating from his body almost solidified into a tangible form.

"This was Li Yan before he died."

"The four Celestial Crystal Fruits that I was asked to bring back."

"As he said, three of them were given to you, and one was given to your young master."

Xia Yubing took out the four Heavenly Crystal Fruits that Li Yan had given her and placed them in Lin Qingyue's hand.

"Li Yan's last wish."

"I have delivered my message; farewell."

Xia Yubing left with a final remark before departing with the disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Zhang Yan and the others remained where they were, along with a group of Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators who had returned from the deep sea region, and an acquaintance, Ma Ze from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

"His senior brother."

"They really perished?"

After Xia Yubing left, Lin Qingyue remained silent for a long time before looking at the other Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators and asking questions.

"My condolences to my senior sister."

“If not, Xia Yubing, we should also stay in the deep sea area.”

The disciples of the Dharma Aspect Realm looked at each other, and said with remorse.

They witnessed it firsthand.

Li Yan has fallen.

But they were powerless to do anything about it, and that sense of helplessness made them extremely unwilling to accept it.

Even so, they couldn't change anything.

The Imperial Sword Sect is the head of the five major immortal sects.

With four mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts and one late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm expert, it is completely incomparable to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"Senior brother..."

Zhang Yan looked at the four Celestial Crystal Fruits and muttered to himself.

These four spiritual fruits exude a unique and precious aura of heaven and earth.

But the price of those four spiritual fruits was Li Yan's life.

As the senior disciple of the previous generation of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Li Yan thought of Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue until his death.

"This grudge must be avenged."

I swear I will never be human!

Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and made a vow.

Although he didn't have much contact with Li Yan, Li Yan was definitely a qualified senior brother.

The scene of my conversation with Li Yan is still vivid in my mind.

The two of them also met with the Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion together.

Now, however, they are separated by life and death.

The magical power in Zhang Yan's dantian was boiling, like a live volcano that could erupt at any moment; he was furious like never before.

With the burst of magical power.

Terrifying ripples erupted from Zhang Yan's body, and his heavy pressure was comparable to that of the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!
"The aura emanating from the young master?"

This aura both surprised and delighted the disciples at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

They had not seen Zhang Yan for more than four years.

They were unaware of Zhang Yan's current strength.

"When you leave."

"Junior brother, you killed a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Human Dao Alliance."

"They also suppressed a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Imperial Sword Sect."

"The number of Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators who have died at his hands has exceeded the number that can be counted in two hands."

Lin Qingyue looked at Zhang Yan and softly recounted his achievements.

"what?"

The disciples were astonished, considering him an extraordinary being.

He killed a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator and also suppressed a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Imperial Sword Sect.

They also killed more than ten people at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

One aspect of this remarkable achievement is truly astonishing.

Moreover, all of this is concentrated in one person.

"Senior Sister Lin."

"Is this true?"

The group of Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators were so shocked that they couldn't even imagine it.

"It's indeed true."

“Previously, nine Dharma Aspect Realm experts from my Corpse Demon Skull Mountain came together.”

"They were all suppressed by Young Master Zhang alone."

Before Lin Qingyue could answer, Ma Ze from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain stepped forward and replied.

"This……"

The disciples of the Dharma Realm felt their scalps tingle.

Even Ma Ze himself admitted it, which is enough to prove Zhang Yan's formidable record.

Maze appeared here.

It was to guide the way.

If it weren't for Ma Ze, Xia Yubing and the others would never have been able to find the Jade Pure Cold Pool.

"Young Master Zhang."

I know you're unwilling to accept this.

"But Zhou Jue of the Imperial Sword Sect has already broken through to the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"Absolutely not, you can't fight against that."

"If Shen Ning discovers this Jade Purity Cold Pool, the Imperial Sword Sect will come back sooner or later."

"I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible and go to other areas."

Ma Ze, with a complicated expression, offered Zhang Yan a word of advice.

Besides leading the way, his purpose on this trip was also...

It was also to find Yang Lianqing.

For the past two years, Yang Lianqing has been following the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But after all, it's time for the disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain to return.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Farewell."

Yang Lianqing bid farewell to Zhang Yan and left Yuqing Hanchi with Ma Ze.

Only the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion remained here.

"Young Master."

"If it's Senior Brother."

"Knowing your and Senior Sister Lin's current strength, I'm sure you'll be very happy."

"After all, this is a grand competition of the five sects, not child's play, and casualties are inevitable."

These disciples of the Dharma Realm offered words of comfort to Zhang Yan.

They are clear.

Zhang Yan's current significance to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion has already lost Li Yan; it cannot afford to lose Zhang Yan as well.

"I know."

Zhang Yan took another deep breath, but he still couldn't calm down.

He agreed, Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The goal is to bring all the disciples back safely.

But now, most of the disciples have survived.

Li Yan, however, remained in the deep-sea area.

The disciples said nothing more and each found a place on the plateau to heal their wounds.

"Junior brother."

"This was left to us by our senior brother."

"However, I no longer need them. You can keep all of these Celestial Crystal Fruits."

Lin Qingyue handed the jade box to Zhang Yan, keeping none of the Heavenly Crystal Fruits inside.

Li Yan's original intention was to help her break through to the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

She has now made a breakthrough.

Of course not.

"Why not leave them all to Zhang Yan?" Zhang Yan accepted the four Celestial Crystal Fruits without hesitation. Afterward, the two returned to the Jade Purity Cold Pool.

The competition has now ended.

There are less than three months left.

Although Li Yan perished, most of his disciples survived.

We cannot do it because of one person.

As a result, all the disciples were buried with him.

Faced with the threat from the Imperial Sword Sect, the Divine Weapon Pavilion must take action.

The solution.

Lin Qingyue was in charge, while Zhang Yan himself remained in the cave, showing no reaction.

In a blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

A crack appeared in Zhang Yan's cave.

A bolt of lightning silently appeared.

Zhang Yan stood up, his eyes filled with countless thunderbolts, like a world of thunder, where billions of thunderbolts were born and died.

The true meaning of thunder, perfect!
In the past three days, Zhang Yan, with the help of the Kui Niu True Eye, has completely mastered the perfect Thunder True Meaning.

At the same time, he also mastered the final spell, "Senluo Thunder Prison," brought by the Kui Niu True Eye.

"I am now."

"They should have the capability to fight against someone in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Zhang Yan's gaze was firm as he stepped out of the cave.

The timeframe of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He could kill someone in the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Now his cultivation has broken through again, and he has also comprehended the perfect true meaning of thunder.

Even at the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

He can fight too!
Zhou Jue killed Li Yan; he absolutely cannot remain indifferent!

But as soon as he left the cave, Zhang Yan saw a familiar figure.

"Sister."

Zhang Yan looked at Lin Qingyue in front of him and called out softly.

Lin Qingyue had been keeping an eye on him, and as soon as he emerged from seclusion, she appeared.

"You need to find Zhou Jue of the Imperial Sword Sect."

"To avenge my senior brother?"

Lin Qingyue looked at Zhang Yan and asked softly.

"Senior brother has devoted himself to the sect."

"I will fight to the death."

"If I don't avenge him, what face do I have to remain the young master of this sect?"

Zhang Yan countered with a question.

Lin Qingyue pursed her lips and did not answer.

"Sister."

"You can't stop me."

"After I leave, you take the others and return to the Spirit Stone Basin."

"Don't worry, even if I'm no match for them, I'll survive."

Zhang Yan's voice was firm and decisive, leaving no room for argument.

With his current strength.

Even if Lin Qingyue wanted to stop her, she couldn't.

But Lin Qingyue grasped Zhang Yan's wrist.

"Who said I was going to stop you?"

Lin Qingyue and Zhang Yan exchanged glances and spoke in a low voice.

"Senior brother."

"Young Master."

Subsequently, Huang Yun'er, Xiao Wanyi, Song Qizhen, and 299 fellow disciples all appeared.

And Dongfang Fu and all the other disciples from the previous generation appeared.

"you……"

Zhang Yan looked around at everyone, his face blank.

"I know."

"You certainly won't swallow this insult."

"I have already discussed it with my junior brothers and sisters."

"On this journey, we will all stand together through thick and thin."

"I remember there was another rule in the Five Sects Competition."

"Once the disciple leaves the sea, he cannot continue the attack."

"This time, we'll operate close to the surface of the sea. If we fail, we'll leave the sea together."

Lin Qingyue stood side by side with Zhang Yan and explained.

"Together we will."

"Avenge Senior Brother Li Yan!"

No one flinched as they met Zhang Yan's gaze.

"Let's avenge our senior brother together!"

Zhang Yan remained silent for a long time before finally nodding solemnly.

now.

The entire Divine Weapon Pavilion was united in purpose.

Advance and retreat together.

If we can win, we'll win together; if we lose, we'll lose together.

Under no circumstances should Li Yan's sacrifice be in vain!

Wow!
More than 300 disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion rose to the surface together.

We reached a point less than a kilometer from the sea surface and began to move towards the deep sea.

This location.

Even if Zhang Yan loses, they can still leave the sea together and save their lives.

The front.

Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue walked side by side.

Even Zhang Yan could only explore a radius of two hundred miles in the deep sea.

To find the traces of the Imperial Sword Sect.

It's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

After traveling for two days, Zhang Yan suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of Dharma power.

The source of this fluctuation is on the seabed.

However, it spread to areas close to the sea surface, sweeping across large areas of the ocean like a raging storm.

And what could cause such a ripple effect?

It can only be the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"It must be Zhou Jue!"

Zhang Yan's face was frosty as he gritted his teeth and said.

He must avenge Li Yan!
"It seems a major war has broken out."

"It must be Zhou Jue who encountered another force."

Lin Qingyue added.

"good."

"Go over and have a look!"

Zhang Yan immediately changed direction.

If it's a fight between the two sides, it can help him by depleting Zhou Jue's Dharma power in advance.

Ideally, it would be Shenhuang Valley, where the Imperial Sword Sect would fight like dogs.

Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue went three thousand meters below the surface of the sea, while the other disciples remained in the upper sea area.

We can lose the resources, but we cannot lose the lives of our disciples.

As the distance gets closer.

Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue discovered the two sides engaged in the great battle.

One of them was from the Imperial Sword Sect. Among them was a man with an arrogant face and a hooked nose. His aura was so powerful that it seemed to connect heaven and earth, like the core of the universe.

This person was Zhou Jue of the Imperial Sword Sect.

On the other side were two black-robed cultivators at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

There were still a large number of disciples behind them, their faces tense.

It wasn't the Phoenix Valley that Zhang Yan had hoped for, but the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

"Two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain."

"He also participated in that battle."

"It should be that the time of returning to the shallow sea coincided with the encounter with the Imperial Sword Sect."

Seeing this, Lin Qingyue analyzed.

"Sister."

“Shen Ning and that man surnamed Luo are also here.”

"This route is exactly the route from the deep sea area to the Jade Pure Cold Pool."

"I guess it's the Imperial Sword Sect looking for us, and they just happened to run into the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain."

Zhang Yan's observations were more thorough, and he guessed the truth.

After Zhou Jue reunited with Shen Ning and the cultivator surnamed Luo.

Immediately, they traveled from the deep sea to the plateau where Yuqing Cold Pool is located.

Meanwhile, the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain hides in all directions.

But just then, they encountered the Imperial Sword Sect.

Zhou Jue's original intention was to kill Zhang Yan, but since he had encountered the disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain...

Of course, we can't let it go.

Thus began a great battle, aimed at suppressing the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain as well.

Even the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain has two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.

Facing Zhou Jue, who was in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

All they could do was struggle to keep going.

at this time.

The disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain are in dire straits.

Even if they manage to avoid Zhou Jue, the Imperial Sword Sect still has four mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts.

Zhang Yan is above the sea.

He paid no attention to the great battle in the Dharma Realm.

Instead, he was watching Yang Lianqing, one of the disciples.

Yang Lianqing, only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, returned to Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, only to find himself in grave danger.

At this moment, there were two peak Nascent Soul cultivators.

Riding their flying swords, they attacked Yang Lianqing together.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Yan sighed softly, and flying swords appeared around him.

If he didn't save Yang Lianqing, Yang Lianqing would surely die. (End of Chapter)
