Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

This news spread.

This immediately caused a huge uproar on the Sea of ​​Burial Demons.

It's not just the Imperial Sword Sect.

Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, Divine Phoenix Valley, and Qingyun Dao Sect have all learned about everything that happened in the Burial Demon Sea from their disciples.

This competition has completely overturned everyone's expectations.

The addition of statements from the higher-ups of the Imperial Sword Sect completely ignited the situation.

"This is a major competition."

"The biggest winner is the Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

All forces received this news, and the high-ranking officials of the major immortal sects had extremely complicated expressions.

"Boy."

"You killed five mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from the Imperial Sword Sect?"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was astonished and immediately inquired about Zhang Yan's abilities.

I just heard about it.

Li Yan perished in the Sea of ​​Burial Demons. He thought that Zhang Yan and the others had suffered a great loss in the competition.

Before I could even grieve, I heard this unbelievable news.

Crimson Heavenly Lord once doubted that he had misheard.

However, he glanced at the location of the Imperial Sword Sect.

Those old men who had been so calm and collected before all looked over, their beards bristling and eyes wide, ready to pounce.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master."

"This is indeed true."

"Senior Brother Li Yan died at the hands of Zhou Jue, a late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Imperial Sword Sect, in his struggle for the Heavenly Aspect Crystal Fruit."

"Junior Brother Zhang killed the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect all to avenge Senior Brother Li Yan!"

Lin Qingyue answered for Zhang Yan.

Upon hearing this, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and the other Heavenly Lords were momentarily dazed, feeling as if they were dreaming.

The fall of Li Yan was indeed a huge loss for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But Zhang Yan was even more ruthless.

They actually buried all five mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts from the Imperial Sword Sect in the Demon Burial Sea.

In comparison, the losses suffered by the Imperial Sword Sect were far more severe.

"and many more."

"So Zhou Jue has broken through to the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

Crimson Heavenly Lord suddenly realized what was happening and asked again.

"good."

"He must have used the Heavenly Crystal Fruit."

"He broke through from the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Zhang Yan confirmed.

"Late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"You killed them all?"

The eyes of all the Heavenly Lords of the Divine Weapon Pavilion nearly popped out of their sockets.

This news is really shocking.

It's like a sheep killing a tiger.

Before the competition began.

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion hoped to protect his disciples as much as possible.

However, Zhang Yan brought back a shocking result.

That's the Imperial Sword Sect, the head of the five great immortal sects!
They dispatched five powerful disciples at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, who should have swept through the Burial Demon Sea.

But they all perished at Zhang Yan's hands.

How amazing is that?
……

Qingyun Dao Sect.

"Yu Bing".

"Was it really Zhang Yan who saved you?"

A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a lapis lazuli dress, asked in surprise.

She is the current sect leader of Qingyun Dao Sect, possessing the cultivation of the eighth realm, and is also Xia Yubing's master.

"Reporting to Master."

"It's true."

"Although I did not witness it with my own eyes, Zhang Yan killed Zhou Jue."

"But we witnessed him alone annihilate four mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts from the Imperial Sword Sect."

"Moreover, according to those four mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators, Zhou Jue did indeed die at the hands of Zhang Yan."

Xia Yubing replied.

"More than a big realm."

"Late stage of the Reversal of Dharma Aspect Realm".

"Even a ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator shouldn't be this defying genius."

The Qingyun Dao Master looked on with surprise and doubt.

"but."

"They killed so many disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect."

"Given the way the Imperial Sword Sect operates, they will definitely not let this go."

"It seems that a considerable dispute will break out today."

The Qingyun Dao Master muttered to himself, his gaze falling with interest on Zhang Yan in the distance.

……

Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

The two cultivators at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm also reported the matter to the sect leader.

"Mountain Master."

"Zhou Jue has broken through to the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"In the Sea of ​​Burial Demons, they roam freely without restraint."

"They even boasted that they would annihilate half of my Corpse Demon Skeleton disciples."

"It was only because Zhang Yan appeared and forcibly killed Zhou Jue that we escaped this calamity."

"After that, we kept our distance and did not provoke Zhang Yan."

"Unexpectedly, the remaining four mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts of the Imperial Sword Sect also died at the hands of Zhang Yan."

The two cultivators, both at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, briefly recounted the events to the leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

This sect leader was shrouded in a dark cloud.

The space around the edge of the black cloud was distorted, as if there was no physical entity inside, but only a soul.

A chilling wind blew around them, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.

"Only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"Such methods are actually possible?"

The leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, surrounded by churning black clouds, let out a hoarse voice.

The Corpse Demon Skull Mountain is unconventional and often studies bloody secret techniques.

Some secret techniques require a terrifying price to obtain destructive power beyond one's level.

Even so, it's impossible for him to be like Zhang Yan.

Fight across a vast new realm.

"Go back to the mountain master."

"Based on the information we have."

"Zhang Yan is not a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator like Shen Ning of the Imperial Sword Sect."

"But it's unprecedented—a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"When he fought Zhou Jue, we caught a glimpse of a tenth-stage Nascent Soul."

"Behind his nascent soul was a three-colored spiritual ring, vast and magnificent, containing power comparable to that of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

The two, both at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, added.

"A tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain were all unsettled.

"What a magnificent Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

"The world only knows that the Imperial Sword Sect has a Nine-Turn Prodigy."

"But little did they know, the Divine Weapon Pavilion had given birth to a tenth-level immortal seedling!"

The leader of the Corpse Demon Skull Mountain exclaimed in praise.

……

Divine Phoenix Valley.

"impossible!"

“Zhang Yan is nothing more than a nobody.”

"He actually managed to kill Zhou Jue, a late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator?"

Chen Xiao couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

After Zhou Jue was born, the members of Divine Phoenix Valley dispersed and went into hiding.

Therefore, Chen Xiao was not found by Zhang Yan, but he was also unaware of what happened next.

"Since Zhou Jue..."

"He has already broken through to the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"But it hasn't appeared yet, so it's highly likely that it has already met with misfortune."

"Besides, would the prestigious Imperial Sword Sect deliberately lose face?"

The mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator who survived in Divine Phoenix Valley spoke with a solemn expression.

Before them stood the Valley Master of Divine Phoenix Valley.

He wore a red robe, his hair was also fiery red, he looked to be about thirty years old, and his eyes were dark red.

The Valley Master of Divine Phoenix Valley, having overheard the conversation between his two disciples, kept his eyes fixed on the location of the Imperial Sword Sect.

"The Imperial Sword Sect's Grand Competition this time."

"Only less than fifty disciples survived."

The Valley Master of Divine Phoenix thought to himself.

Now, there are very few disciples left in the Sea of ​​Burial Demons.

However, the Imperial Sword Sect's area only had fewer than fifty disciples.

It seems.

In this competition, the Imperial Sword Sect was even inferior to the Divine Phoenix Valley in the rankings.

However, the rise of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is not a good thing for the Divine Phoenix Valley.

"Valley Master."

"I want to know why not a single disciple of our Human Dao Alliance has appeared."

At this moment, Black Wind Heavenly Lord appeared with a dark face and asked.

"Chen Xiao." "Are you aware of this?"

The Valley Master of Divine Phoenix looked at Chen Xiao.

"A disciple of the Human Race Dao Alliance?"

“I encountered the Human Alliance forces before.”

"Then, those of you at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm are among them."

“We once joined forces to kill Lin Qingyue of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.”

"However, after that, Lin Qingyue was rescued by Zhang Yan, and we were driven away by the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators of your Human Race Dao Alliance."

"It now appears that Zhang Yan and Lin Qingyue are both unharmed."

"Your disciples from the Human Race Dao Alliance are most likely dead at the hands of Zhang Yan."

Chen Xiao replied with a forced smile.

"It really is Zhang Yan!"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord's face darkened even more.

Even the five mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts from the Imperial Sword Sect died at Zhang Yan's hands.

Not to mention his disciple.

It now appears that the disciples of the Human Race Dao Alliance were likely wiped out in the competition.

"Zhang Yan!"

"Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord returned to his position, nearly grinding his teeth to dust.

However, according to the rules of the competition, he could not interfere with the Divine Weapon Pavilion; he could only blame himself for being less skilled than others.

Wow!
As the various immortal sects discussed the matter internally, the sound of water arose from all sides, and the Heavenly Lords in charge of ranking returned from the Sea of ​​Buried Demons.

A group of twenty-five people.

He was holding a map in his hand.

The records show the rankings of this competition.

"The rankings for this competition are now being announced!"

One of the leading Heavenly Lords of the Imperial Sword Sect loudly announced.

Although he tried his best to hide it, everyone could see that his face looked extremely ugly.

Clearly, he himself was extremely dissatisfied with this ranking.

"This competition."

"There are a total of 75 resource-rich areas in the entire sea area."

"Among them, the Divine Weapon Pavilion occupied 60% of them, totaling 45 locations, and won first place in this competition!"

The Heavenly Emperor then announced the final result.

Under Zhang Yan's leadership, the Divine Weapon Pavilion occupied the entire deep-sea area.

Including the previously discovered resource sites, there are now a total of forty-five resource sites.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion is undoubtedly number one!

"Hahaha!"

"We are number one in the competition!"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was beaming with joy and laughed heartily.

"Young Master, this time..."

"But this has set a precedent for our Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

The Heavenly Lords of the Divine Weapon Pavilion spoke highly of Zhang Yan.

Seventy-five resource sites.

This corresponds to the seventy-five resource-producing regions within the six major resource worlds.

With access to forty-five corresponding resource-producing areas, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will never lack resources again for the next hundred years.

Whether they are old disciples or newly accepted disciples.

Both are acceptable, as they will provide a large amount of cultivation resources.

It is foreseeable how prosperous the Divine Weapon Pavilion will be in the next century.

"Second place in this competition."

"Qingyun Dao Sect has acquired ten resource sites."

"Third place in the competition, Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, acquired eight resource sites."

"Fourth in the Grand Competition, Divine Phoenix Valley, acquired six resource sites."

"Fifth in the Grand Competition, Yujian Sect, acquired six resource sites."

"The Human Alliance ranked sixth in the Grand Competition, but failed to acquire a single resource site."

The Heavenly Emperor continued his announcement.

When he announced that he was going to the Imperial Sword Sect, the map in his hand was almost falling apart.

If he could, he would tear the map up.

"It's such a shame!"

Upon receiving this result, the sect leader of the Imperial Sword Sect finally opened his eyes, his gaze icy cold.

This is the first time since the establishment of the Imperial Sword Sect that it has come in last place in the Five Sects Grand Competition!

The result this time.

It's completely true; the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Imperial Sword Sect have swapped places.

How could the proud and arrogant Imperial Sword Sect possibly accept this?
"Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion".

“Zhang Yan killed more than two hundred disciples of my Imperial Sword Sect.”

"Having committed countless atrocities, his bloodlust is excessive, he is by no means a good person!"

"My Sword Control Sect will today extinguish this boy's bloodlust for you!"

The sect leader of the Imperial Sword Sect locked onto Zhang Yan with his spiritual sense and shouted coldly.

The words fell.

All the powerful figures of the Imperial Sword Sect released their auras.

In an instant, the oppressive aura of the seventh and eighth realms swept across the sky, causing the heavens to change color.

"Let's see who dares!"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion naturally refused and released his eighth-realm cultivation.

The other Heavenly Lords of the Divine Weapon Pavilion also stepped forward.

Although the disciples' strength is indeed insufficient, the Divine Weapon Pavilion is not much different in terms of strength at the higher levels.

The Sword Control Sect's attempt to intimidate others with its power is something the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master will never agree to.

above the sky.

The Imperial Sword Sect and the Divine Weapon Pavilion are on the verge of war.

Protected by the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master, Zhang Yan also felt that his magical power had almost stopped.

"Boy."

"do not be afraid!"

"The sky won't fall!"

The voice of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master reached Zhang Yan's ears.

At this moment, the Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was completely different from usual; behind him, a phantom Great Dao appeared.

It connects heaven and earth, suppressing this void and protecting everyone in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"I support Sect Leader Zhong!"

"This kind of disciple is not worthy of being a successor of the Immortal Sect!"

At this moment, the voice of Black Wind Heavenly Lord rang out.

He then led the high-ranking members of the Human Race Dao Alliance to stand on the side of the Imperial Sword Sect.

This competition.

He made extensive preparations, but ended up with his entire army wiped out.

The Human Alliance has completely lost face.

This is a good opportunity to make up for lost time.

Taking down Zhang Yan, the culprit, would at least make things look better on the surface.

"Black Wind!"

When Crimson Flame Heavenly Lord saw Black Wind Heavenly Lord interfere, he was furious.

With the addition of the Human Race Alliance, the Imperial Sword Sect has become increasingly powerful.

Moreover, the sect leader of the Imperial Sword Sect is at the peak of the eighth realm, and his cultivation is terrifying to the extreme.

"Today, the Imperial Sword Sect..."

"Do we really have to completely sever ties?"

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons asked with a gloomy expression.

"My Sword Control Sect."

"We acknowledge that your Divine Weapon Pavilion is the champion of the competition."

"But Zhang Yan must be handed over to my Imperial Sword Sect for disposal!"

The Sword Master's sword intent soared to the heavens, as if he were issuing a command to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"Sect Master Zhong."

"The Imperial Sword Sect has gone too far."

Just as tensions were about to rise, a soft sigh suddenly rang out.

"The Daoist Master of Qingyun?"

The leader of the Imperial Sword Sect looked at the speaker, his brows furrowed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun Daozong, along with its high-ranking members, arrived at the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Qingyun Dao Sect has always been pure and detached from worldly affairs.

And this time.

However, contrary to his usual practice, he chose to support the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

This involved both the Qingyun Dao Master's own considerations and the persuasion of his disciple Xia Yubing.

Zhang Yan looked over, and his gaze met Xia Yubing's.

Xia Yubing nodded slightly in response.

"Thank you, Daoist Qingyun."

The Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion expressed his gratitude.

With the support of the Qingyun Dao Sect, the pressure on the Divine Weapon Pavilion has been greatly reduced.

"I just..."

"I don't see anyone breaking the rules."

"Besides, you have taken on a good disciple."

The Azure Cloud Dao Master's gaze fell upon Zhang Yan, filled with admiration.

The Imperial Sword Sect was the first to break off relations.

What should have been a grand competition among the five sects has escalated into a clash between powerful figures from the immortal sects.

However, the Imperial Sword Sect still had some reservations and did not act rashly.

But this turmoil is far from over. (End of Chapter)
