Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"This must be Young Master Zhang."

“I’ve heard Junior Brother Yue Ping mention you before.”

At this moment, a fair-skinned man stepped out from behind Yue Ping, looked Zhang Yan up and down, and said with a forced smile.

Although this person was quite polite in his speech.

But Zhang Yan could sense a faint hostility.

The newcomer exuded an aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, which he made no attempt to conceal.

It was as if they were showing off their power.

Even Zhou Yuan, who was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was overshadowed by it.

"This person's nascent soul."

"It should be the eighth level!"

Everyone thought in horror.

Both are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but Zhou Yuan is a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

This person is able to overpower Zhou Yuan, so he must be an eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

The thought of facing such opponents during the Five Sects Tournament weighed heavily on everyone's minds.

"you are?"

Zhang Yan frowned and asked.

"This is the leader of the eight phoenix chicks of my Divine Phoenix Valley."

"Senior Brother Chen Xiao!"

Yue Ping, beaming with pride, introduced Chen Xiao's identity to Zhang Yan.

Last time, in the Yin Spring Small World, not only did I fail to obtain the Vermilion Bird Spirit Blood, but I also suffered a great loss.

Yue Ping then chose to join Chen Xiao's side.

Chen Xiao's arrival is to help him and give Zhang Yan a warning.

"Young Master Zhang."

"I heard you've already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Chen Xiao changed the subject and asked.

"So you're a fellow Daoist from Divine Phoenix Valley."

"Did you come here specifically to congratulate my senior brother on condensing his Nine-Turn Nascent Soul?"

Zhang Yan didn't speak, so Huang Yun'er cleverly stepped forward and said something.

This statement came out.

The smiles on Chen Xiao and Yue Ping's faces froze instantly.

They knew that Zhang Yan had gathered information about the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Dao.

But even now, hearing Hwang Yoon-ah's voice in person still fills me with immense jealousy.

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion has had a stroke of incredible luck!"

"A ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has actually appeared!"

"Back then, I was stuck at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage and couldn't even touch the threshold of the ninth level."

"I don't know how Zhang Yan managed to do that."

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, filled with intense jealousy.

He is already a genius among geniuses, receiving the full support of the Divine Phoenix Valley.

But that was only the completion of the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Previously, it was already extremely good.

But now.

As soon as Zhang Yan unleashed his Nine-Turn Nascent Soul, the Eight-Turn Nascent Soul immediately dimmed.

"Congratulations to Young Master Zhang on condensing the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul."

"now that……"

Chen Xiao cupped his hands in a perfunctory gesture of congratulations.

"Two phoenixes from Divine Phoenix Valley have come to congratulate my senior brother in person."

"Given your status, you must have prepared a congratulatory gift, right?"

Huang Yun'er spoke again, interrupting Chen Xiao.

"This……"

Yue Ping and Chen Xiao looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded.

They came to intimidate us.

If I didn't come to give a gift, why would I have brought a congratulatory gift?

"A congratulatory gift for the young master."

"It's already in your ceremonial hall."

"Young Master, you can take it later."

Yue Ping replied.

Since this is the investiture ceremony for the young master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the people from Divine Phoenix Valley have already presented congratulatory gifts.

"That's a gift from Divine Phoenix Valley."

"The two of you coming to see me, the young master, in private are of course different."

"Could it be that Divine Phoenix Valley has fallen so low that it can't even afford a congratulatory gift?"

Zhang Yan looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

His words immediately put Yue Ping and Chen Xiao in a dilemma.

If so.

The two of them have completely disgraced Shenhuang Valley.

But if they don't admit it.

Today, the two of them must present a precious gift as a congratulatory present.

"Zhang Yan."

"How cunning!"

Yue Ping and Chen Xiao were filled with anger and curses.

But here.

Disciples from the Divine Weapon Pavilion were watching, along with people from other factions.

The two of them couldn't possibly really disgrace Divine Phoenix Valley.

"The two of us."

"Indeed, I brought a gift."

In the end, Chen Xiao was caught in a dilemma and took out an orange crystal shaped like a human head.

Within the crystal, it seemed as if some shooting stars had streaked across the sky, which was extremely mysterious.

Even in Chen Xiao's hands, Zhang Yan could feel the raging, intense flames emanating from him.

"Young Master Zhang."

"This object broke off from a meteorite from outer space."

"It contains fire from beyond the heavens and is a top-grade fourth-tier spiritual object."

“Your esteemed pavilion is renowned for its weapon crafting; this item would be most fitting for the young pavilion master.”

Chen Xiao explained the origin of this item.

But his heart was bleeding.

He obtained this crystal in a secret realm.

This is the only part that even he himself has not been able to comprehend.

But they were forced to give it to Zhang Yan!

This is more painful than cutting off his flesh.

But being surrounded by onlookers, he had no choice but to do so to save face.

"It was originally a treasure from outer space."

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Chen, for the treasure."

With a broad smile, Zhang Yan personally took the meteorite crystal from Chen Xiao's hand.

Even when he took it, Chen Xiao refused to let go.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan used his magic that it was taken away.

Chen Xiao's face twitched, and he was cursing inwardly.

"Since Young Master Zhang has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage..."

"It also condensed a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul."

"They have such strength."

"I'll probably participate in this year's Five Sects Grand Competition, right?"

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and finally asked the reason for his visit.

"My master said..."

"I'm too young."

"It would be best to participate in the next Five Great Competition a hundred years from now."

Zhang Yan met his gaze and said with a light laugh.

"The next Five Sects Grand Competition?"

Chen Xiao's breath hitched.

If Zhang Yan participates in the next Five Sects Grand Competition, won't that mean waiting another hundred years?

Then wasn't this crystal given away for nothing?

Chen Xiao was so angry he was practically fuming.

If he had known this would happen, why would he have come here with Yue Ping to humiliate himself?
"I see."

"It's a pity that we won't be able to see Young Master Zhang at this competition."

"However, I am still willing to learn from the skills of you fellow Daoists. I look forward to it!"

Knowing there was no chance to harm Zhang Yan, Chen Xiao looked at the other disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, his eyes filled with a threatening intent.

The atmosphere inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion suddenly became oppressive.

"let's go!"

After saying that, Chen Xiao left with Yue Ping.

The crystal he lost.

In the Five Sects Grand Competition, he will make the Divine Weapon Pavilion return its principal and interest.

"I am here."

"I am not afraid of Chen Xiao."

Zhang Yan looked around at everyone and solemnly assured them.

"We believe in our senior brother."

The disciples nodded in agreement, feeling much more relaxed.

They knew Zhang Yan's true strength.

Even in the early stages of the Dharma Formation, they were no match.

Let alone Chen Xiao.

"Greetings, Young Master Zhang."

Not long after Chen Xiao and the others left, a cold and arrogant female voice suddenly rang out.

"As expected, Dongfang Yeyang has arrived."

Zhang Yan knew the identity of the visitor without even seeing him.

They followed the sound and looked around.

As expected, Dongfang Yeyang, dressed in a black dress, walked over.

However, standing in front of her were the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the powerful figures of the Imperial Sword Sect.

A group of people came together.

In Dongfang Yeyang's hands, he was holding a long wooden box.

Zhang Yan guessed that it was probably a congratulatory gift for the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

But instead of sending it directly to the Hall of Ceremonies, it was meant to be sent directly to him?
"Dongfang Yeyang".

"What kind of trick is this?"

Zhang Yan was somewhat puzzled, but he calmly went to meet them. More than ten years had passed.

Dongfang Yeyang did not stand still; his cultivation level broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He exuded a chilling sword intent, his aura not much inferior to Chen Xiao's.

"Master."

"Esteemed seniors of the Imperial Sword Sect."

"Why is this?"

Zhang Yan stood there, looking at everyone, and asked in confusion.

"Xiao Yan."

"Fellow Daoists of the Imperial Sword Sect."

"I've come all this way to present you with a very generous gift."

"You should accept it yourself."

The Pavilion Master of Divine Weapons explained.

The master and disciple exchanged a glance, and Zhang Yan saw the helplessness in his master's eyes.

This made Zhang Yan even more curious.

"What gift?"

"Since it's such a generous gift, why is Master looking like this?"

Zhang Yan walked over and took the wooden box from Dongfang Yeyang.

"Zhang Yan".

"I will never forget the old and new grudges."

Dongfang Yeyang stared at Zhang Yan, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said coldly in a low voice.

The death of his younger brother, Dongfang Weibai.

She will never forget the legacy of Meteor Valley.

She will kill Zhang Yan as long as he participates in the Five Sects Tournament!

"I am waiting."

Zhang Yan replied calmly.

Dongfang Yeyang gritted her teeth in hatred, but after Zhang Yan took the wooden box, a hint of pleasure appeared in her eyes.

Holding the wooden box, Zhang Yan and his master exchanged a glance.

After getting permission.

The wooden box was opened.

Even though Zhang Yan was prepared, he was still taken aback when he saw the contents.

Because it is a broken sword.

To be precise, it only has a hilt; there is no blade at all.

Such an item, which no cultivator would pick up even if it were thrown on the roadside, was used as a congratulatory gift by the Imperial Sword Sect.

"Dongfang Yeyang".

"What is the meaning of this from your Imperial Sword Sect?"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master Zhang."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this sword looks ordinary."

"But in fact, this is the sword left behind by the founder of my Imperial Sword Sect, the Imperial Sword Venerable."

"It is of a grade of four, which is extremely precious."

"If it weren't to congratulate the young master, our Imperial Sword Sect would not have brought out such a divine item."

Dongfang Yeyang smiled and explained.

Judging from her appearance, if there weren't so many people present...

They would definitely burst out laughing.

"The sword left behind by the Sword Master Yuqing?"

"Isn't it all just junk?"

Zhang Yan finally understood what Dongfang Yeyang meant.

As the head of the five great immortal sects, the founder of the Imperial Sword Sect was honored as the Imperial Sword Master, who was once a powerful expert at the ninth level of the sword realm and possessed divine sword skills!

Not only was his swordsmanship unparalleled throughout history.

They have made a tremendous contribution to the continuation of the human race.

He is revered by the masses.

Even now, though he has long since perished, he remains a supremely powerful figure worthy of respect.

And every item he left behind is priceless.

rumor.

He left behind a ninth-tier magic sword for the Imperial Sword Sect as a legacy artifact.

However, this cannot be verified.

A sword that can be associated with the Imperial Sword Master can see its price increase by more than a hundredfold.

But this one, only the hilt remains, it can't even be called a sword anymore, it's completely useless.

Although it has some value.

But for normal people, it's like a chicken rib – useless.

Everyone knows this.

However, the Imperial Sword Sect, relying on its status, used the name of Imperial Sword Master Yuqing to present this item as a congratulatory gift.

It was a complete humiliation of Zhang Yan and the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Zhang Yan finally understood why the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's expression was so unpleasant.

The group of powerful figures from the Imperial Sword Sect stood behind Dongfang Yeyang. Although they did not speak, their auras were terrifying to the extreme.

The foundation of the top of the five great immortal sects.

It is indeed far superior to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"So it was a relic of the Imperial Sword Master."

"This item suits my taste perfectly."

"I accept it. Please convey my gratitude to the Sect Master of the Imperial Sword Sect on my behalf, Fellow Daoist Dongfang."

Zhang Yan closed the wooden box and replied calmly.

"As long as it suits your taste."

"I have also come here to tell Young Master Zhang some good news."

"The rules for this Five Sects Competition will be significantly changed."

"Our Imperial Sword Sect will definitely give your esteemed establishment a big surprise."

Dongfang Yeyang replied with a cold laugh.

"Pavilion Master!"

"We have other important matters to attend to."

"I won't stay any longer."

After delivering the broken sword, the people from the Imperial Sword Sect left immediately without lingering.

The master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion personally went to see him off.

Only Zhang Yan remained in the same spot.

"Sword Control Sect".

"Divine Phoenix Valley."

"If you dare to reach out, I'll chop your hands off!"

A murderous glint flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.

Dongfang Yeyang, Chen Xiao, and the others were unaware of his true strength.

Who the prey will be is still uncertain.

I thought to myself.

Zhang Yan opened the wooden box again, a smile playing on his lips.

"You've miscalculated."

"This sword hilt is useless to others."

"But it's completely different for me."

Zhang Yan thought to himself.

At the same time, he used his equipment slots again.

Information about the broken sword emerged.

[Equipment Name]: Broken Sword
[Equipment Tier]: Tier 4
[Equipment Quality]: White
[Equipment Effect]: Lv4 Sword Dao Truth (This equipment has been with Yu Qing Sword Master day and night, and contains the true essence of sword dao comprehended by Yu Qing Sword Master. After wearing it, you can comprehend the "True Sword Control Technique" at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.)
This broken sword has only one entry.

The quality is still white, which is indeed very ordinary.

But for Zhang Yan, this one entry was incredibly precious!

"Within this broken sword."

"It actually contains the true technique of sword control!"

Zhang Yan's face lit up with joy.

The achievements of the Imperial Sword Master in swordsmanship are unprecedented and unparalleled; his swordsmanship is divine.

He is hailed as the person most likely to become a sword immortal.

Even now, no one can rival him in swordsmanship.

And this is the true technique of sword control.

It was created by the Imperial Sword Master, and it is said to be the supreme sword technique that points directly to the true essence of the sword.

Even within the Imperial Sword Sect, only the most talented disciples of each generation are allowed to receive instruction.

Outsiders simply cannot obtain it.

But such supreme sword techniques are contained within this broken sword.

Once Zhang Yan is equipped, he will be able to master it completely!
"Dongfang Yeyang and the Imperial Sword Sect."

"They still want to humiliate my Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"But I actually got a great deal out of it."

Zhang Yan put away the broken sword, overjoyed.

Although he is not a complete sword cultivator.

But his trump cards are basically related to swords.

Obtaining this true sword control technique was another huge boost for him.

I have met people from the Imperial Sword Sect and the Divine Phoenix Valley.

Zhang Yan met Yang Lianqing of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain again.

Compared to the other two sects.

The relationship between Corpse Demon Skull Mountain and Divine Weapon Pavilion is fairly good.

"Friend Daoist Zhang!"

"I never imagined that it would only be a little over ten years."

"It's good to see you again. You're now the young master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Congratulations!"

Yang Lianqing and Ma Ze came together to congratulate Zhang Yan.

The Skull Mountain, a place of great importance, places great significance on the investiture ceremony.

They also sent out their most talented disciple of this generation, an eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The most outstanding disciple of the generation of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

They were known as the Six Great Ghost Generals.

The one who arrived was the leader of the six great ghost generals.

However, Zhang Yan and he were not familiar with each other, and only exchanged a few polite words.

Then he talked with Yang Lianqing.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"The rules for this Five Sects Competition have changed."

"This is not good news for us."

Yang Lianqing said with a worried expression. (End of Chapter)
