Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

This ancient, mysterious place.

It is located on a mountain range that stretches for countless miles.

Standing before the mountains, it stretches endlessly to the left and right into the distance.

"This mountain runs through the entire Qionglin Great World."

"It is also the only mountain range in the entire Qionglin Great World."

"As for this secret realm, it's because a trace of its aura was leaked."

"My master discovered this by chance when he returned to the sect."

Seeing Zhang Yan looking around, Xia Yubing smiled and explained.

"but."

"This secret realm was sealed using ancient secret techniques."

"With the power of my Qingyun Dao Sect, we are still unable to solve it."

"In the end, it was only by gathering the leaders of the four great immortal sects that they were able to break it open."

"In order to repay the other three great immortal sects, my master agreed that the four great immortal sects would send disciples to explore it."

"How much you gain depends on your individual skills, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Xia Yubing continued to explain.

"Is your clan not afraid?"

"The Bodhi seed with Dao patterns was taken by someone else?"

Zhang Yan asked in a low voice.

"To be honest, Young Master Zhang..."

"Actually, it's news about the Bodhi seed."

"Only Young Master Zhang, an outsider, knows this. Even if someone manages to break through the core of the secret realm by then..."

"My Qingyun Dao Sect also knows how to do this, by exchanging other spiritual items."

"I urge Young Master Zhang to keep this matter a secret for our sect."

A sly glint flashed in Xia Yubing's eyes.

"nature."

Zhang Yan nodded.

A great immortal sect is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Xia Yubing's words can be seen as a gesture of goodwill towards Zhang Yan.

After all, Zhang Yan was extremely special, being the only disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion to receive an invitation.

Chatted for a few words.

The group has entered the secret realm.

After a spatial distortion, the group arrived inside the secret realm.

Zhang Yan looked around.

This place was filled with an overwhelming white fog, and the distance that could be seen was no more than a kilometer.

As for spiritual consciousness, it's only about 10,000 meters.

Moreover, one cannot see the sky, nor can one see the earth beneath one's feet.

"This mist is the power of the rules left behind by this place."

"Under the state of true self, everyone is the same."

"The disciples who entered the secret realm this time are all no stronger than the True Self Realm."

"In this way, we can ensure that the four major immortal sects will not be different."

Xia Yubing's voice rang out again.

"Sister."

Why say so much?

Jiang Nian, on the other side, saw Xia Yubing following Zhang Yan closely and complained.

Xia Yubing glanced at Jiang Nian but didn't say anything.

Jiang Nian's previous performance had greatly disappointed her senior.

anyway.

Zhang Yan saved the lives of Jiang Nian and his fellow disciples during the Five Sects Grand Competition, but Jiang Nian forgot about this favor.

In front of the mountain gate, they made it impossible for both Daoist Qingyun and Zhang Yan to save face.

The Qingyun Dao Sect sent a total of nine people this time.

Aside from the four disciples at the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and Xia Yubing and her brother, the rest were all disciples at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Initially, the group dispersed and searched within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Only Zhang Yan found an island.

The island is only a hundred miles in size and has only some second- and third-tier spiritual plants, which are of great use.

"Young Master Zhang."

"Let's leave this place."

After staying in one place for half a day, Xia Yubing led the group to explore in one direction.

A whole day passed in a row.

The group traveled thousands of miles to find them.

"Senior Sister Xia."

"I've made a discovery!"

At this moment, a pretty female disciple suddenly called out loudly.

The crowd gathered around, and through the white mist, a long, narrow strip of land appeared before them.

Within this land flows a rushing river.

The earth itself is nothing special.

However, this river exudes an extremely rich aura, and its water is crystal clear, as pure as glass.

Even more amazingly, at the edge of the earth, the land ends.

The river continues to flow into the white mist, and from who knows where, it returns to this land, never ceasing.

We've finally found a treasure trove.

The group landed on the riverbank.

This river is over a kilometer wide, and the current is extremely rapid.

As the group approached, a faint wisp of dragon's might appeared in the river.

Even Zhang Yan's Azure Dragon Tremor-Slaying Sword was trembling slightly.

"In this river."

"Possesses the blood of a true dragon?"

Zhang Yan guessed.

However, he did not explain the matter, but waited for Xia Yubing and the others to investigate.

Xia Yubing gathered the power of her Dharma form, grabbed a stream of river water, and dispersed it.

"Young Master Zhang."

"This river was formed from the blood and flesh of a fallen red dragon."

"If we enter it, we can use the blood energy of the Crimson Dragon within to temper our Dao bodies."

Xia Yubing dispersed the power of her Dharma form and said happily.

Red dragon.

It was a different species with the bloodline of a true dragon, but without any special supernatural powers.

Its only advantage is that it inherited the powerful physique of a true dragon.

Even after they fall, their bones and blood often remain intact and do not disperse.

This river of blood has been sealed within this secret realm since ancient times.

Most of the blood essence of that red dragon from back then has been preserved and transformed into this river of blood.

It flows ceaselessly and surges within this mist.

And this blood essence is so rich that it transforms into a long river.

For cultivators, it is a good medicine for tempering their bodies.

Although the cultivation world today no longer focuses on tempering the Dao body.

But if the body is more resilient.

It is also of great benefit to the cultivation of the Great Way.

Moreover, spiritual objects capable of tempering the Dao body are now almost extinct.

Even Zhang Yan.

He only tempered his Dao body once in the sea of ​​lightning within the Meteor Valley.

Such a treasure trove is a rare find, one that cannot be sought after.

"This is the River of Red Dragon Blood."

"It's far more powerful than the Thunder River in Meteor Valley."

Looking at the river of blood, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister."

"In that case."

"Why aren't you getting into the river yet?"

Jiang Nian couldn't wait any longer and headed towards the Blood River.

This floating river of blood has a bend, and the blood energy is most concentrated at the bend when viewed from above.

Zhang Yan guessed that it should be the location of the red dragon's head.

Jiang Nian immediately took a liking to this place and flew towards Huiwan.

"Junior brother."

"Wait a minute, Young Master Zhang has come from afar."

"Besides, he has just recovered from serious injuries, so it is only right that Young Master Zhang should use him when he returns to Taiwan."

Xia Yubing stepped forward and stopped Jiang Nian.

"Senior sister!"

"This is the secret realm of my Qingyun Dao Sect."

"Even the Divine Weapon Pavilion is not qualified to enter."

"Now that this Crimson Dragon Blood River has been discovered, they still want to leave the Dragon Head Land to this person?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian's face darkened, and he immediately retorted.

"Junior brother."

"Young Master Zhang is a guest."

"Why are you being so aggressive?"

Xia Yubing demanded.

Subsequently.

Ignoring Jiang Nian, he went straight to Zhang Yan.

"Young Master Zhang."

"Please go to that river bend." "That place is where the leader of the Crimson Dragon resides; cultivating there will yield twice the results with half the effort."

Xia Yubing said politely.

This scene was witnessed by the other disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect, who kept their eyes down and pretended not to see it.

"Young Master Zhang."

"I've taken a liking to this place."

"Since Senior Sister is biased towards you, this secret realm ultimately belongs to my Qingyun Dao Sect."

"I also have something to ask of that back bay, so why don't you and I have a contest?"

“If I win, then Huiwan is mine; if you win, then Huiwan is yours.”

A hint of jealousy flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes, then he smiled and walked up to Zhang Yan, making the suggestion.

"Junior brother!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yubing immediately wanted to reprimand Jiang Nian.

"can."

However, Zhang Yan had already spoken first and agreed.

Originally, the blood essence of the Crimson Dragon in this river was inexhaustible, more than enough to supply everyone.

As long as you're in the river, you'll always get something out of it.

After all, there are limits to tempering one's physical body.

However, Jiang Nian proposed a contest of wits, and Zhang Yan could no longer turn a blind eye.

"Senior Brother Jiang is going to have a duel with that Young Master Zhang?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples' expressions changed, and they were filled with astonishment.

They had participated in the Five Sects Grand Competition, and they knew just how extraordinary Zhang Yan's strength was.

Even the late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm expert of the Imperial Sword Sect perished at Zhang Yan's hands.

Jiang Nian, although a genius of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

However, he was only at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"Young Master Zhang."

"please."

Jiang Nian took the lead and leaped into the air.

The other disciples followed curiously.

Zhang Yan remained expressionless, took a step forward, and also appeared in mid-air.

A battle here can avoid affecting the Crimson Blood River.

Xia Yubing's expression changed, but she eventually followed.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang."

"Why do you suddenly want to fight me with magic?"

Zhang Yan asked calmly.

Although he was a guest invited by the Qingyun Dao Sect, he should not overstep his bounds.

However, he is the only genius in the world to reach the tenth level of Nascent Soul cultivation, and he has his own pride.

Although he had never fought Jiang Nian.

But he did save the lives of Xia Yubing and Jiang Nian.

Logically speaking, Jiang Nian should have been self-aware.

"Young Master Zhang."

"I know your strength."

"But the past is the past, and the present is the present."

"You used to be a tenth-stage Nascent Soul prodigy, who reversed the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"However, right now, you only have a ninth-stage Nascent Soul left, and two years..."

Jiang Nian realized he had gone too far, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"How much combat strength is left is still unknown."

Zhang Yan became famous in the cultivation world.

The news that he has been in a coma for nearly two years has spread throughout the cultivation world.

In addition, there was the news of him falling from the tenth stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This finally got Jiang Nian's mind racing.

Compared to Zhang Yan, he has not stood still in the past two years.

"I see."

Zhang Yan nodded slightly.

But a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Although his three-colored spirit rings are almost gone now, not just anyone can ride on his head!
If you want to bully him, be prepared to have your claws and teeth broken!
"Young Master Zhang."

"If you are ready, then begin."

Jiang Nian said with a big smile and great enthusiasm.

Although it was somewhat of an unfair victory.

But this one is Zhang Yan, a highly sought-after prodigy in the cultivation world.

If we defeat Zhang Yan.

Jiang Nian could rise to fame in the cultivation world by stepping on Zhang Yan's head.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please make your move."

Zhang Yan showed no joy or sorrow; his emotions were unreadable.

"They admit it!"

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes.

hum!
The power of the Dharma Image surged forth, and a Dharma Image forty-eight feet tall stood in the void.

The aura of someone in the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm was overwhelming.

Then, Jiang Nian took out a large number of talismans from his storage magic treasure.

The Qingyun Dao Sect excels at the art of talismans.

Jiang Nian's cultivation level is not as high as Xia Yubing's, but his mastery of talismanic arts is not much different.

"The vast universe!"

Jiang Nian then scattered out seventy-two talismans.

These talismans manifested and transformed into celestial palaces and spirit pavilions, standing above the white mist and spanning two hundred feet of void.

Moments later, a magnificent celestial palace took shape.

The magnificent palaces stretched out in a continuous line, imbued with a powerful earth element, and pressed down upon Zhang Yan.

The aura contained within it has already reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!
"Junior brother!"

"Why did you use such a trump card?"

"Those talismans would take at least three years to draw, and you used them so quickly?"

Xia Yubing's face turned ugly as she questioned him.

Similar to Zhang Yan's weapon forging techniques.

Disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect also need a lot of time to draw talismans.

Jiang Nian's attack can be said to have rendered his three years of hard work futile.

"Sister."

"This is my talisman."

"How I use it is none of your business!"

Jiang Nian said, unable to hide his joy.

Compared to the fame of defeating Zhang Yan, these seventy-two talismans are nothing at all.

He waited so long, and if he missed today's opportunity, he would never have another.

His strike.

Enough to directly kill a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator of the same level!

At this moment, the four peak Dharma Aspect Realm experts around him were ready to rescue Zhang Yan at any time.

A contest of wits is acceptable.

However, Zhang Yan absolutely must not suffer any damage at the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Facing the majestic Heavenly Palace, the surrounding mist was dispelled, and Zhang Yan's robes rippled with the magical power.

next moment.

Zhang Yan made a move.

Nine lotus platforms within the body simultaneously activated magical power, a dazzling and radiant power that surged within the body.

A surge of magical power, comparable to that of a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, spread out.

hum!
A clear, melodious sword cry rang out, and before Zhang Yan, the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword, the Azure Dragon Wood-Shaking Sword, and the Black Tortoise Water Sword appeared simultaneously.

The purest and most refined magical power was poured into it.

The essence within the three spirit swords surged together, conjuring up the phantom images of three divine beasts.

"All directions, utter silence!"

Zhang Yan gave a cold shout.

Roar!
The three divine beasts roared to the sky, and the power of heaven and earth gathered around them. The phantoms of Xuanwu and Zhuque dimmed, turning into pure power of heaven and earth, and merged into the phantom of Qinglong.

The azure dragon, which was a hundred feet long, grew to a size of three hundred feet.

Then the power of the wood-shaking technique dissipated.

The three forces of heaven and earth merged and completely transformed into an invisible force of annihilation.

hum!
Upon reaching this point, even the Azure Dragon Tremor Sword in front of Zhang Yan began to tremble.

"I'm afraid you'll have to suffer."

Zhang Yan gripped the Azure Dragon Tremor Sword and said softly.

The Azure Dragon Tremor Sword finally stabilized.

next moment.

Three true meanings are revealed simultaneously.

The perfect true meaning of the Fire of Li, the perfect true meaning of the Wood of Zhen, and the perfect true meaning of the Water of Gui, almost merged together, overwhelming Zhang Yan and surrounding him.

"Three...perfect, different kinds of true meaning?"

Seeing this, Xia Yubing's voice was extremely dry.

Ordinary people, even she, can only achieve perfection of true meaning after breaking through the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Zhang Yan not only achieved perfection, but also achieved perfection in all three aspects simultaneously!

"how is this possible?"

"Didn't he fall to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage?"

Jiang Nian's eyes widened as well.

Zhang Yan's aura had exceeded his expectations!
The desolate sword energy from all directions collided with the majestic celestial palace.

Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled, the sound resounding through the highest heavens! (End of Chapter)
