Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Auspicious clouds enveloped the cave.

Peace returned to the world.

The hearts of the celestial rulers remained unsettled.

"The young master's nascent soul is definitely not just at the ninth level; that special ability is unprecedented."

"Could it be that the young master has broken through the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm and condensed a tenth-stage Nascent Soul?"

"Beyond the Ninth-Rank Nascent Soul, it must be the Tenth-Rank Nascent Soul, hahaha, one rank higher than the Ninth-Rank Nascent Soul of the Imperial Sword Sect!"

The Heavenly Emperors were discussing it animatedly, extremely excited.

They witnessed it with their own eyes.

The birth of a tenth-stage Nascent Soul.

The tenth reincarnation does not increase mana, but it will bring a powerful ability similar to the innate divine power of the demon race.

Throughout history, only Zhang Yan has ever been involved in this phenomenon.

Although the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul is rare.

But over tens of thousands of years, quite a few have still appeared.

However, a tenth-stage Nascent Soul has never appeared.

Zhang Yan truly achieved something unprecedented!

"You all know the truth about this matter."

"Don't tell anyone."

"As for the heavenly tribulation, we will announce to the public that it was because this Pavilion Master was comprehending a secret technique and encountered divine punishment."

The Heavenly Lords were overjoyed, but the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's expression was somewhat solemn.

Having amazing talent is a good thing.

However, excessive talent can easily turn into trouble.

If the news of Zhang Yan's tenth-stage Nascent Soul is spread, it will be disseminated.

Even the major immortal sects.

It's possible that they'll swallow their pride and target Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan alone is enough to change the current situation of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Therefore, this news must be kept secret.

"Rest assured, Pavilion Master."

The Heavenly Lords regained their seriousness and replied solemnly.

They were certainly aware of what a tenth-stage Nascent Soul represented.

"but."

"Now that everyone is here..."

"My disciple has broken through; shouldn't you all offer your congratulations?"

After a brief silence, the Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion reverted to his true colors, reaching out to the Heavenly Lords to demand treasures.

"I will also return a batch of pills."

"I'll take my leave now."

The Heavenly Lords, recalling the consistent nature of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, quickly took out their treasures and left the place.

Resources mean nothing to them.

But once the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion starts boasting, he can't stop.

The master.

Can't you learn from your disciples and be more composed?

"Keep this for my disciple."

"Seclusion is good!"

"I'd be at ease if I went into seclusion until the Five Sects Tournament begins."

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons put away the resources and looked at the cave dwelling with a long sigh.

The appearance of Zhang Yan.

This brings a glimmer of hope for the Divine Weapon Pavilion's rise.

He was determined to seize the opportunity, no matter what.

The Five Sects Tournament is too dangerous; Zhang Yan must not be allowed to participate.

……

They survived the heavenly tribulation.

Zhang Yan returned to his cave.

He doesn't need a solid foundation.

Once you break through, you'll reach the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, without the risk of an unstable Nascent Soul.

"Heaven's blessing."

"My foundation is incredibly solid."

"Perhaps we can seize this opportunity and break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in one go!"

"There are less than twelve years until the Five Sects Grand Competition. If we don't seize this opportunity, it will be too late next time."

Zhang Yan sat cross-legged in the secret room, muttering to himself.

Auspicious clouds pierced through the cave and landed in his dantian.

It transformed into spiritual rain, nourishing things silently, and merged into his tenth-stage Nascent Soul.

Besides.

He drank another mouthful of thunder syrup.

Once the aura of the early Nascent Soul stage stabilized, it slowly climbed towards the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Apart from Zhang Yan.

Almost no one can break through one realm and then break through to the next minor realm.

This is all because Zhang Yan received a great deal of good fortune when he was at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Be well prepared.

……

The sun and the moon are like shuttles.

Eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"As soon as the senior brother broke through, he went into seclusion again. It seems that his foundation is too unstable."

"That's a ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Do you think it's as easy as your fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivation?"

"If I had the chance, I would be willing to sit in seclusion for a hundred years."

A young disciple, passing by Zhang Yan's cave, murmured in admiration.

More than ten years.

Many young disciples.

We almost forgot that Zhang Yan is still in seclusion.

Only when passing by the cave would one recall the extraordinary talent of the eldest brother.

"Senior Sister Huang, Senior Brother Huang."

The disciples circled around the mountain peak and saw a male and female cultivator. They quickly greeted them.

These two.

It was Huang Lian and Huang Yun'er, a brother and sister.

"Are they all going to watch the selection competition?"

Huang Lian exchanged pleasantries with his fellow disciples.

"Exactly."

"Senior Brother Huang isn't going?"

Several junior brothers nodded in agreement.

The Five Great Competitions are less than half a year away.

Over the years, disciples like Huang Yun'er who had been in seclusion have all emerged from their retreat.

But before the competition began.

Inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the disciples' strength will still be tested.

At the same time, it is also necessary to select disciples to be in charge of command.

Therefore, a selection competition needs to be held.

This selection competition has already begun today.

Most of these young disciples were only at the Golden Core stage, and they didn't even have the qualifications to participate; they could only watch.

"You guys go first."

Huang Lian waved his hand.

The junior brothers then bypassed the mountain peak and headed to the heart of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul!"

"Senior Brother Zhang, you truly deserve to be the most talented disciple in the history of our Divine Weapon Pavilion."

Huang Yun'er looked at Zhang Yandu's cave and sighed.

She wore a light blue dress, her figure slender and graceful, still beautiful and charming.

After years of seclusion, her cultivation level has increased from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the middle stage.

some of.

They still received a large amount of resources from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Having condensed a sixth-stage Nascent Soul, she was already ranked extremely high among the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"When he was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm."

"I am also in the early stage of Golden Core."

"He has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, while I am still in the late Golden Core stage."

"He's still a top-tier ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Comparing people is infuriating."

Huang Lian looked at Zhang Yan's cave dwelling and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Zhang Yan has been in seclusion for many years.

Outside the cave, it was all managed by him and Xiao Wanyi, who often came.

Since Zhang Yan joined the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

This is the first time I've been in seclusion for such a long time.

He was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"The competition is about to begin."

"Let's go over there."

Huang Yun'er stood there for a moment, but the cave remained silent, so she prepared to leave.

"Let's go."

Huang Lian had already gotten used to it and left with Huang Yun'er.

After the two of them left.

The cave entrance, which had been closed for eleven years, seemed to have a faint flash of lightning.

But no one noticed.

……

The heart of Shenbingge.

This was originally a continuous, scenic mountain range.

However, it was cut in half by the powerful members of the Divine Weapon Pavilion using terrifying methods that could move mountains and fill seas.

The felled mountain peak filled a valley below.

It was then refined using weapon-making techniques, forming a massive platform that stretched for hundreds of miles.

The disciples usually spar and challenge each other here.

The surrounding flattened mountains, with their higher elevation, served as viewing platforms.

"sister."

"You said it was based on your cultivation level."

"How many of the top disciples can make it into this generation?" Huang Lian asked Huang Yun'er as he landed on the viewing platform.

"With my strength."

"I think I can probably make it into the top forty."

Huang Yun'er pondered for a moment before replying.

Although the Divine Weapon Pavilion is not as powerful as the other four major immortal sects.

But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; it was still a great immortal sect.

The oldest disciple of this generation is over three hundred years old and has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

There are also more than twenty people in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

There are also some disciples who have broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm for many years; they are all extraordinary.

Huang Yun'er has good talent, but she has only recently broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so she has no advantage at all.

"All disciples at the Nascent Soul stage and above, please ascend the stage!"

At this moment, Chi Lian Tian Tian stood in the void and loudly announced.

The Five Sects Grand Competition was far too brutal.

The Dharma Realm is the main focus.

Only those at the Nascent Soul stage or above are eligible to participate.

Anyone who enters the Golden Core realm will almost certainly die.

With a light touch of her toes, Hwang Yoon-ah's figure moved like smoke, landing on the huge platform below.

"Senior Sister Huang."

As soon as Huang Yun'er landed, someone greeted her.

"So it's Junior Brother Song."

Hearing the sound, Hwang Yoon-ah looked over and a smile appeared on her lips.

The person who arrived was none other than Song Qizhen, who had accompanied her to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Having condensed a seventh-stage Nascent Soul, Song Qizhen gained the attention of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

However, after years of seclusion, he is still only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, one step away from breaking through to the middle stage.

Because he needed to hone his foundation, it took him a lot of time.

"Senior Sister Huang has broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

"Unfortunately, I'm still far from good enough. I probably won't be a match for my senior sister in this competition."

Song Qizhen was extremely happy to see Huang Yun'er again.

Because of Zhang Yan.

The two had a very good relationship.

"Junior Brother Song, Junior Sister Huang."

The two had just met when someone else called out to them from the other side.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain white dress, extremely simple and elegant, yet it fit her perfectly, giving her a refined and graceful appearance.

The speaker was Lin Qingyue, who had gone into seclusion before them.

His cultivation level reached the Dharma Aspect Realm.

A breakthrough in a minor realm can easily take decades, or even a century.

Therefore, Lin Qingyue's cultivation level is still at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But judging from the aura emanating from her...

There should still be quite a bit of improvement.

"Senior Sister Lin."

Song Qizhen and Huang Yun'er greeted each other together.

Besides the three people, there are quite a few familiar faces on this platform.

They all came together because of Zhang Yan.

"pity."

"Junior Brother Zhang has not yet emerged from seclusion."

Lin Qingyue gazed in the direction of Zhang Yan's cave dwelling, feeling a slight pang of regret.

The Five Great Competitions are held once every hundred years.

This selection competition.

It is also a once-in-a-century grand event for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"This kind of competition."

"Not participating would be better for my senior brother."

"On the contrary, it's a good thing."

Huang Yun'er replied.

"Too."

"Junior Brother Zhang has condensed a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul."

"His fame will only come when he breaks through to the Dharma Aspect Realm and the True Self Realm."

Lin Qingyue nodded.

"They all remember Senior Brother Zhang."

On the other side, Xiao Wanyi, dressed in a pale yellow dress, looked at Lin Qingyue and her group with envy in her eyes.

However, given her status, Zhang Yan would inevitably be ostracized if he didn't leave seclusion.

Xiao Wanyi's talent is not high; she is only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

But she started learning early.

His cultivation level is now at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which is a few points higher than Huang Yun'er's.

In terms of ranking, she should be similar to Hwang Yoon-ah.

After the disciples had mostly landed on the platform, they were divided into two groups.

Some of them were disciples from the previous generation, most of them over four hundred years old but under five hundred years old. This was their last time participating in the Five Sects Grand Competition.

They are also the main force in this competition.

The other, larger group consists of the new generation of disciples.

Most of them are around 300 years old and can still participate in the Five Great Competitions twice.

This time, the main purpose is to follow my senior classmates and accumulate experience.

"Everyone."

"The rules of the selection competition."

“Your teachers should have already told you.”

"I will only repeat one sentence: a leader must be chosen from among the disciples of both generations."

"I hope you will show your true strength and not try to compete for rankings."

"Because the stronger not only have more resources, but also bear heavier responsibilities..."

The Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion appeared, surrounded by numerous Heavenly Lords, and explained the advantages and disadvantages to his disciples.

Because it was two generations of disciples who participated.

Therefore, two leading disciples need to be selected.

If the new generation's leading disciple doesn't perish, he will most likely be the leader of the next Five Sects Grand Competition.

In this way, the experience of command will be enriched.

This is also the purpose of the selection competition.

"The first place among the new generation of disciples in this competition."

"It must be me."

Among the crowd, a male disciple dressed in gold and silver robes spoke with certainty.

This is Zhou Yuan, the only one at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage among the new generation of disciples.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

"You are at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, over three hundred years old, and you have already broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"The sect leader should also accept you as a disciple."

As soon as Zhou Yuan spoke, a gray-robed disciple behind him said obsequiously.

"The sect leader has not accepted any disciples for many years."

"With my talent, I should be qualified."

"But Zhang Yan was too monstrous, and actually condensed a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul."

"Although I have some talent, unfortunately, I am no match for a prodigy."

“I had met with the sect leader before and expressed my desire to become his disciple, but I was rejected.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

His talent.

Among the geniuses of the Divine Weapon Pavilion over the years, he is already considered quite good.

However, Zhang Yan was simply too extraordinary.

Compared to a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul cultivator, his talent was insignificant.

He has always held a grudge about this matter.

But what good is Zhang Yan's extraordinary talent in this selection competition?
With his absolute strength, he remains the number one disciple of the new generation.

A genius who doesn't grow up isn't a genius.

If Zhang Yan wants to enter the Five Sects Grand Competition, he still needs to follow his command.

Moreover, as the leader.

You can also obtain special magical treasures from the sect.

With this magic weapon, he was able to completely overshadow the other disciples in the Five Sects Grand Competition.

"Senior Brother Zhou is right."

"However, it seems that Zhang Yan did not appear."

"Could it be that he's not even going to participate in the selection competition?"

The gray-robed disciple looked around the platform and continued speaking.

"It's normal not to participate."

"Given his talent, the cabinet probably won't let him take any risks."

Zhou Yuan chuckled lightly.

Although he felt a little jealous of Zhang Yan's talent.

But in his eyes, he would even avoid participating in the Five Sects Grand Competition.

Even if Zhang Yan grows up, he won't amount to much.

"The selection competition begins!"

After the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master finished speaking, he officially announced.

The rules of the competition are very simple: it's a round-robin battle that basically showcases the strength of each disciple.

To ensure that you ultimately receive your true ranking.

The first round of the contest ended quickly after the draw.

Huang Yun'er drew a disciple who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the battle ended in three moves.

The same was true for most others; in the first round, it was rare for top-ranked disciples to meet each other.

"Yoona's sixth-stage Nascent Soul."

"It's truly extraordinary. With nearly four times the mana of others of the same level, the power of its spells is completely different."

"I wonder if I will be able to condense a sixth-stage Nascent Soul after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Huang Lian stood on the viewing platform and said with eager eyes.

"Will do."

Huang Lian was talking to himself, but someone responded to him.

"Who...Junior Brother Zhang?"

Huang Lian was taken aback, then his face lit up with wild joy. (End of Chapter)
