Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Black Wind".

"Do you think I, the Pavilion Master, am easily fooled?"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master concealed his expression, while the illusory image of the Great Dao burst forth behind him, stirring up waves of laws.

A predicament that even the three major immortal sects cannot resolve.

Could a Black Wind Heavenly Lord at the seventh realm heal him?

Although the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master was anxious, he hadn't reached that point yet.

The aura of the Eighth Realm surged forth.

Black Wind Heavenly Lord was forced back a step and was completely suppressed.

"Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion".

"I'm doing this for the sake of your Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"As the leader of the Human Dao Alliance, I certainly cannot speak carelessly."

"If I cannot cure Zhang Yan, I can apologize with thorns on my back, and I will not have to pay any price."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord said with a smile.

This statement came out.

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons hesitated. Zhang Yan was now the number one genius in the world.

If anything goes wrong, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master will never spare Black Wind Heavenly Lord.

Yet Black Wind Heavenly Lord still dared to utter such boastful words.

Obviously, we should have something to rely on.

"How are you going to treat my disciple?"

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons concealed his aura and asked in a deep voice.

"This matter."

"It's not convenient to tell you at the moment."

"Don't worry, Master, I would never dare to harm your precious disciple."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord laughed.

"Then if you wish to heal my disciple..."

"What's the price?"

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion pressed for an answer.

Even if Black Wind Heavenly Lord could heal Zhang Yan, it certainly wouldn't be without a price.

It's best to state these conditions in advance.

"The Pavilion Master is indeed straightforward."

"Our Human Alliance's conditions are very simple."

"First, of the resources obtained by the Divine Weapon Pavilion in the Five Sects Grand Competition, eighty percent will be given to our Human Race Dao Alliance."

"Secondly, all of our human race's Dao Alliance disciples have been wiped out, and we need to recruit new disciples."

"However, training disciples takes time, so I would like to directly recruit disciples from your esteemed establishment."

"Of course, I will not forcibly take them. I will use sufficient conditions to attract disciples to join my Human Race Dao Alliance."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord smiled and presented his conditions.

"you wanna die!"

Upon hearing this, the aura of the Eighth Realm once again swept across the sky.

Such conditions are practically digging up the very foundation of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The first condition, taking away 80% of the resources, is already an outrageous demand.

Zhang Yan won first place in the Five Sects Grand Competition.

It occupies six major resource worlds and more than 60% of resource production areas, all of which are of medium to high quality.

Eighty percent of that would be enough to make any one of the five major immortal sects incredibly wealthy.

Even the Imperial Sword Sect was nothing special before.

And when this Black Wind Heavenly Lord opened his mouth, it was like a bottomless pit!

As for the second point, it was something he could no longer tolerate.

They poached several disciples before.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master has already made the Human Alliance pay the price.

This time, Black Wind Heavenly Lord also needs his permission to directly poach disciples.

Tolerable or unbearable!
The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master was filled with unprecedented rage, and the illusory image of the Great Dao gathered behind him, transforming into a large crimson-gold cauldron.

The laws descended from within, with myriad phantoms of spirits spreading, colorful clouds filling the sky, and the universe shaking!

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master gripped the cauldron in one hand and smashed it towards Black Wind Heavenly Lord with earth-shattering force.

Black Wind Heavenly Lord dared to say such a thing.

This must be taught a profound lesson!

However, even the seventh-realm Black Wind Heavenly Lord remained calm and composed in the face of the enraged Divine Weapon Pavilion Master.

Boundless laws descended, the heavens and earth shattered, the void twisted, and the entire sky trembled.

"Is that the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

"Who provoked him?"

The celestial beings in the Great World of the Sea Cliff all turned their gazes toward this place, feeling extremely surprised.

The strongest beings in the eighth realm are now the pillars of the human race.

As for the existence of the Ninth Realm, it is said that it has not appeared in the world for ten thousand years.

The attack of an eighth-realm expert represents the pinnacle of human power.

However, the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master smashed down the cauldron.

Suddenly, endless golden runes appeared before Black Wind Heavenly Lord, blotting out the sky and shining brightly, illuminating the entire Great World of Sea Cliff.

Between heaven and earth, the illusory images of the three thousand Great Daos appear and disappear, rising and falling uncertainly.

It seemed that everything was being suppressed by this power.

Boom!
A deafening roar resounded as the cauldron crashed into the golden runes, causing the sky to collapse and spatial turbulence to explode.

The surrounding mountains, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, were all shattered into dust by the aftershocks, and all things withered and died.

This world seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

Boundless power of heaven and earth surged forth, repairing the shattered sky on its own.

"Humph!"

The crimson-gold cauldron flew backward, and the figure of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master reappeared, letting out a muffled groan.

In this ultimate clash, he was the one who suffered the loss.

"Ninth realm?"

The leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain looked horrified.

The being who protected Black Wind Heavenly Lord was definitely beyond the eighth realm.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master so easily.

"May I ask your name, senior?"

The leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain bowed to the golden rune and asked a question.

hum!
Heaven and earth trembled, the golden runes vanished instantly, and the boundless golden light between heaven and earth dissipated.

That terrifying aura vanished.

"Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion".

"Trying to suppress me with your strength? Do you really think the Human Alliance has no one backing it up?"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord stood with his hands behind his back and sneered.

"From now on, you'd better watch your mouth!"

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons concealed his aura and said in a cold voice.

That aura just now was indeed superior to his.

He wasn't confident that the collisions would continue.

“I’m not talking nonsense.”

"As you now know, this is the foundation of my Human Race Dao Alliance."

"In the entire cultivation world, besides this one from my Human Dao Alliance, who else can save your disciple?"

"I've already stated the conditions. Whether you want to save your disciple or not is your choice."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord chuckled strangely, transformed into a whirlwind, and vanished from the spot.

"Behind the Human Race Alliance."

"There is a powerful expert who is suspected to be at the ninth realm."

Those celestial rulers also withdrew their gaze, but received astonishing news.

"Human Alliance".

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's expression changed constantly.

It all started with the Human Race Alliance's constant small actions and their grand-scale attempt to annex the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master suspected that the Human Race Dao Alliance had hidden powerful figures.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Although the Human Alliance does not have a single cultivator at the eighth realm.

However, having just one person at the Ninth Realm is enough to support the overall situation; this is the significance of top-tier combat power.

"We underestimated them before."

The leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain was also learning such a secret for the first time.

"What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Is what Black Wind said true or false?"

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master was at a loss for words and consulted the Sect Leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

"I do not know either."

"However, these conditions are indeed like scraping the bone and sucking the marrow."

"But now, only beings at the Ninth Realm can heal your disciple."

The leader of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain replied with a low laugh.

"I'll take the first step."

After saying that, his figure twisted and disappeared into the void.

Amidst the devastation, only the Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion remained, lost in thought.

……

In the endless void.

The figure of Black Wind Heavenly Lord appeared.

Before him stood an imposing figure, countless feet tall and radiating golden light.

Wherever the figure was, even the turbulent void stopped.

This space is completely separated from the present world, and only Black Wind Heavenly Lord can reach it.

"Thank you for your help, Lord God!" Black Wind Heavenly Lord bowed his head respectfully before the figure.

This person is his powerful backer.

It does not belong to the human race, but to the gods who have vanished for countless ages!

This is a true god!
Standing tall beyond heaven and earth, its power is boundless.

It was precisely because he had come into contact with this god that Black Wind Heavenly Lord dared to lead the Human Dao Alliance to stand apart from the five great immortal sects.

Over the years, the deity has intervened several times.

They helped the Human Alliance and secretly resolved many problems.

"Your cultivation level is still too weak."

"If you cannot break through to the eighth realm within a hundred years."

“Then I shall consider replacing the divine servant.”

The God Lord's gaze traversed the endless void, looking down upon Black Wind Heavenly Lord as he spoke.

"I will definitely not let the God down!"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord immediately bowed down.

Without this divine master, the Human Alliance would be nothing but an empty shell.

"What about a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The ethereal voice of the deity echoed once more.

"Reporting to the Lord."

"I have already stated my conditions."

"We're just waiting for the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master to start negotiating."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord replied.

"I only care about the result."

The golden figure left behind a sentence and disappeared into the endless void.

Time and space almost stood still, and the omnipresent oppression vanished like the tide.

"The gods are indeed difficult to deal with."

"I don't know what use there is for a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

Black Wind Heavenly Lord lowered his head, thinking to himself.

However, as long as he can weaken the strength of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, it will be a good thing for him.

"Divine Weapon Pavilion".

"Sooner or later, it will be ours to be the Dao Alliance of the Human Race!"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord grinned maliciously.

In this world, besides humans and demons, there are also gods and demons.

However, the gods existed since the beginning of time, residing high above the heavens.

They didn't have much interaction with the human race.

As for the demon race, they are opposed to the gods and have little contact with the human race.

The demon race has clashed with humans the most and has the most vested interests involved.

For Black Wind Heavenly Lord

As long as he didn't betray the human race or collude with the demon race, he wasn't wrong.

Rather than letting the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion remain in a slump, it would be better to hand it over to him and let him shine again.

Moreover, it has the support of the powerful Protoss.

Even if the human race is no match for the demon race, he will still have a way out.

……

Sea Cliff World.

Half of the Heavenly Lords of the Divine Weapon Pavilion have gathered.

"Regarding the conditions for Black Wind."

What do you all think?

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master, with a dark expression, inquired about the opinions of the Heavenly Lords.

The celestial rulers looked at each other, hesitant to speak.

The best outcome, of course, would be for Zhang Yan to recover and continue on the path of cultivation.

If they can grow up smoothly, they will surely be able to protect the Divine Weapon Pavilion from wind and rain.

However, the conditions proposed by Black Wind Heavenly Lord.

That's absolutely outrageous.

"That's 80% of the resources."

"If we hand over these resources, wouldn't all our efforts have been wasted?"

"As the Heavenly Emperor said."

More than a year has passed since the Five Great Competitions concluded.

The handover of resource-producing regions in the six major resource worlds has been completed.

Now, the Divine Weapon Pavilion receives a large amount of resources every day.

The disciples and elders of the sect all received great benefits, and their cultivation speed increased dramatically.

Getting the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion to release its acquired resources is no longer a simple matter.

The vast majority of people would not agree.

And all those resources were allocated just to save one person.

"But."

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion's success today is inseparable from the contributions of the young pavilion master."

"In the last Five Sects Grand Competition, the Young Master set a precedent that was unprecedented."

"If we're talking about contributions, the young master deserves the most credit for these resources."

"If our Divine Weapon Pavilion does nothing, wouldn't that discourage the other disciples?"

One day, the king raised a different opinion.

They were closer to the lineage of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and held Zhang Yan in extremely high regard.

"But if you agree."

"Not only did we lose 80% of our resources."

"The disciples within the sect will definitely join the Human Race Dao Alliance upon learning the news."

"Are we going to abandon the other disciples just for the sake of the young master?"

A heavenly ruler with gray hair offered his reasons.

These heavenly rulers have very short lifespans.

Having witnessed the rise and fall of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, they must not give up now that the pavilion has finally had a chance to rise again.

"The mouse is short-sighted!"

"A single competition involving five major categories of resources will determine the ownership of resources for a period of only a hundred years."

"Without the young master, how will we cope with the next Five Sects Grand Competition?"

"Could it be that after a hundred years, we'll be reduced to our original state once again?"

The young emperor argued his case forcefully.

Zhang Yan's influence on the Divine Weapon Pavilion is far beyond what ordinary disciples can compare to.

It can be said that Zhang Yan single-handedly rewrote the final rankings.

If it follows the normal trajectory.

In the next century, if Zhang Yan continues to participate in the Five Sects Grand Competition, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will surely be number one again.

Moreover, Zhang Yan is still young, not even three hundred years old.

He was even able to participate in two of the Five Great Competitions.

This will give the Divine Weapon Pavilion at least three hundred years to rise to prominence.

As for three hundred years from now, even if it can't continue to dominate the number one spot, it can still squeeze into the top three.

This is the impact Zhang Yan had on the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"I have heard that..."

"The young master left behind a trace of his bloodline in the lower realm."

"With this century of accumulation, my Divine Weapon Pavilion is capable of nurturing him into a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul."

"Once he breaks through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, he will be able to take over as the young master and compete for resources for the Divine Weapon Pavilion in the Five Sects Grand Competition."

"Why take such a huge risk and gamble everything?"

The opposition elders played their last card.

Zhang Yan also left behind his bloodline.

This is a way out left for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

With this statement, the voices of the supporters instantly quieted down considerably.

Without this bloodline, the Divine Weapon Pavilion would have no other choice.

In the entire cultivation world, there is no other cultivator who has reached the tenth level of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Even a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul is one in a thousand years.

However, given Zhang Yan's talent as a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, there is a high probability that his bloodline will reach the ninth-stage Nascent Soul stage.

This gave the Divine Weapon Pavilion new hope.

As long as these resources from the past century are preserved, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will have breathing room for the next few centuries.

"Pavilion Master."

"I suggest we bring that Azure Phoenix back to the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"As for the young master, bringing him back to the pavilion might offer a chance for things to turn around."

In the end, the opposition prevailed.

"This matter will be put on hold for now."

After pondering for a long time, the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion made the final decision.

He then disappeared without a trace.

"In the end, the Pavilion Master is still too soft-hearted."

Why insist on going down a dead-end path?

The Heavenly Emperor in the palace shook his head and sighed.

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion stayed in the Great World of the Sea Cliff for the next few days.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion continuously dispatched Heavenly Lords to negotiate with the Human Race Alliance.

However, Black Wind Heavenly Lord insisted that the resources could not be less than 60%.

As for the second condition, it is to hold firm and not give in.

Upon receiving the news, the Divine Weapon Pavilion began to waver once again. (End of Chapter)
