Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 323 The Trail of the Third Spirit Sword
"Senior Brother Li Yan is leading the team."

"Even if they don't get any benefits, Senior Sister Qingyue and the others should be safe."

Zhang Yan looked at the deep sea ahead and thought to himself.

He spent a year in seclusion for spiritual cultivation.

He absorbed the Earth Core Fire Essence and the demonic soul of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and his cultivation progressed rapidly.

However, it is still a long way from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

After all, he had only just broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, a little over two years ago.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through a minor realm often requires thirty or forty years of arduous cultivation.

Geniuses like Lin Qingyue break through to the Nascent Soul stage around the age of three hundred.

After 150 years, he condensed his Dharma form and broke through to the Dharma form realm.

It is still under 500 years old.

Only then can they become the main force in the Five Sects Grand Competition.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in eleven years, which is already quite fast.

However, now we have the Earth Core Fire Marrow and the Demon Soul of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

In addition, there's that top-grade fourth-tier spirit wood.

Zhang Yan's cultivation speed can still be improved.

The Five Great Competitions lasted for a total of five years.

He estimated that absorbing two pieces of the Dharma Aspect Realm demon soul before the competition ended should allow him to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

"If I break through to the late Nascent Soul stage..."

"He should be able to fight against someone in the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"It's basically impossible to suppress someone in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Zhang Yan walked through the sea, pondering his next move.

He is self-aware.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

He possessed the ability to fight beyond his level only by relying on his tenth-stage Nascent Soul, his perfected Thunderous True Intent, and his fifth-order Kui Niu True Eye.

In the entire cultivation world, he is the only one.

However, even for him, it would be too difficult to fight across a major realm.

"but."

"As long as I break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"Even if they are not a match for someone in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"It's enough to sweep away those in the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"In the entire Demon Burial Sea, apart from the Sword Control Sect, no one can restrain me!"

Zhang Yan's gaze was deep; he had already made his plans.

As long as he breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

That is, the time when the divine soldiers emerge from the mountains.

However, the lotus leaf of the Heavenly Lotus, which won first place in the competition, may be lost.

But there will be other methods in the future.

Zhang Yan couldn't force him to do it.

call out!
As Zhang Yan was pondering, a line of water suddenly appeared in front of him.

The waterline comes in a straight line from the edge of the line of sight.

Such a clear, straight watermark could only belong to a Soul-Swallowing Leech.

A fluctuation of the Dharma Aspect Realm quickly emanated from it.

This is a Spirit Devouring Leech at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"Another soul-devouring leech?"

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.

This Soul-Devouring Sea Leech is practically a living treasure map.

As long as you follow it, you can basically find resource locations.

"Just right."

Without hesitation, Zhang Yan used his flying sword to circle his body, increasing his speed and catching up with the Spirit-Devouring Sea Leech.

Lingshi Basin is located in a shallow sea area.

Moreover, with Dongfang Fu in charge, Zhang Yan left the entire magic treasure, the River of Magic, to Dongfang Fu.

For the time being, there is no need to worry about the safety of the disciples.

"Ling Shi Basin".

"The ocean trench, plus the underwater spiritual fields."

"If we discover another resource site, it will be the fourth treasure trove of resources."

Zhang Yan excitedly muttered to himself.

And so, he followed the spirit-devouring leech, traversing the seabed for more than two days.

At his speed, he covered more than 100,000 li in two days.

But this soul-devouring leech has not yet found a treasure trove of resources.

"Am I just unlucky?"

"Was this spirit-devouring leech just passing by normally?"

Zhang Yan had some doubts.

But he still patiently followed, and another half day passed.

The waterline continues to spread.

Separated by about 20,000 miles, the Soul-Devouring Leech will likely turn around and change direction.

It has been turned around six or seven times now.

The sea ahead remained empty.

"I misjudged it."

Zhang Yan hesitated.

If we keep chasing, we'll end up in some unknown sea area.

Clearly, not every Soul-Devouring Leech can accurately locate the treasure trove.

More than two days were wasted.

Zhang Yan had no choice but to return.

"Change direction..."

Zhang Yan filled in the areas he had explored in his mind, searching for the next sea area to explore.

hum!
Just then, a slight buzzing sound appeared in his ear.

Zhang Yan reached out and grasped, and the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword and the Azure Dragon Tremor Sword appeared in his hand at the same time.

At this moment, the two swords, one slender and agile, the other heavy and steady, were both trembling slightly.

A bluish-white light rippled outwards.

It is extremely conspicuous in the dark depths of the sea.

And these two beams of light.

However, they all pointed directly in front of Zhang Yan.

"This is……"

Zhang Yan looked at the two beams of light with some confusion.

But soon, he reacted.

At first.

In the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword guided him in this way.

These are the Four Spirit Swords, which were once created as a whole, leaving behind their imprints.

This time.

The two swords resonated simultaneously, guiding the direction.

That's only one possibility.

Directly in front of you is the third of these four spirit swords!

"Is it the White Tiger Sword or the Black Tortoise Sword?"

Zhang Yan was overjoyed and looked at the dark sea ahead.

The leech that had been leading the way had already gone far away.

Although Zhang Yan wasn't brought along, they found a treasure trove of resources.

But unexpectedly, it brought him the trace of a third spirit sword!
The Four Spirit Swords.

The most powerful sword technique is the Four Directions Annihilation Sword.

The power of this sword technique will continuously increase with the number and grade of the Four Spirit Swords.

The Four Directions Annihilation Sword technique unleashed by the twin swords was enough to kill someone in the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

If I obtain the third spirit sword.

The power of the sword technique can be further enhanced, enough to suppress a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator!
This is a huge improvement!

"Search for the sword!"

Zhang Yan concealed the aura of his two spirit swords and headed towards the sea ahead.

Buried in the sea of ​​monsters.

It was the largest battlefield during the war between humans and demons.

It's perfectly normal for a Four Spirits Sea Sword to be left here.

Even so, they had already obtained two spirit swords.

Finding the third one would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Zhang Yan, however, accidentally sensed the existence of the third spirit sword.

Zhang Yan's spiritual sense could only detect a range of ten miles in the sea.

However, the sensing distance between the two spirit swords is not limited.

It's already happened in the blink of an eye.

It spans more than a thousand miles of sea.

Zhang Yan was only certain that the direction was correct, but he had not found any trace of the third sword.

"Judging from the fluctuations emanating from the sword..."

"We should be close."

Zhang Yan stared ahead, muttering to himself.

boom!
Suddenly, a powerful force of heaven and earth emanated from the abyss-like sea ahead.

It unleashed a tsunami thousands of meters high on the seabed, sweeping away underwater mountains.

"cut!"

Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly. The flying swords around him slashed in reverse, and a hundred-foot-long starlight sword light broke through the seawater, severing the waves.

This force of heaven and earth vanished, and the flying sword returned to Zhang Yan's side.

His expression, however, was somewhat solemn.

This force is unlikely to be deliberately targeting him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have covered such a large area of ​​the surrounding sea.

But this power of heaven and earth, surpassing even the Nascent Soul stage, must have come from a powerful being in the Dharma Aspect realm.
"Could it be."

"Has someone already discovered the spirit sword?"

"A fight is breaking out up ahead?" Zhang Yan frowned and concealed his aura.

If that's the case, we'll get into trouble again.

But come all come.

The third spirit sword is right in front of us, how can we give it up?
Even at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

He was not afraid.

"The aura within this aftershock."

"There is definitely more than one Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator."

"Moreover, one of the auras seems somewhat familiar to me."

After carefully sensing the surroundings, Zhang Yan became even more determined to go.

If the enemy is someone we know well, we can take them out together.

If they are senior brothers or sisters from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Then we should help them even more.

Zhang Yan concealed himself and increased his speed again, quickly closing in.

They advanced another hundred miles, and the aftershocks ahead grew even stronger.

Zhang Yan could even confirm it.

At least ten Dharma Aspect Realm experts are engaged in a fierce battle ahead.

Absolutely, the main forces of the two sides have clashed.

The flying sword followed Zhang Yan.

The aftershocks were silently cut off by the blade of the flying sword.

No one could find Zhang Yan's whereabouts.

However, Zhang Yan is an example.

Ahead, on an underwater mountain range, three Nascent Soul cultivators were spotted standing at the highest point of the mountain, seemingly observing the battle.

They all bear the same mark.

Zhang Yan glanced at it and recognized it immediately.

"People from the Human Alliance!"

Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It has been confirmed that the forces ahead include members of the Human Alliance.

However, the specifics of the situation are still unclear.

"Ask them."

Zhang Yan maintained his disguise and made contact with the three Nascent Soul disciples a hundred meters behind.

"who?"

One of the female disciples, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, noticed the anomaly behind her and shouted a question.

But the words were not spoken.

A hidden starlight suddenly appeared, and the female disciple was turned into blood mist by the sword light and disappeared into the sea.

"This……"

The other two male disciples widened their eyes instantly.

Before they could finish speaking, two flying swords were already at their necks.

Their cultivation levels were, one was in the late Nascent Soul stage and the other in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Even the senior sister at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was instantly killed.

If they dare to resist, they will not live much longer.

"I was just asking a question."

A clear, melodious voice reached their ears.

Zhang Yan's figure also appeared.

"Young Master Zhang?"

At this moment, the disciple in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm suddenly spoke up and called out.

They clearly recognized Zhang Yan.

"You...it was you all along."

Zhang Yan looked at the man and recognized him.

It was the disciple who followed Dongfang Weibai in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

After leaving the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, he followed Black Wind Heavenly Lord and left the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

His cultivation level has now increased from the early stage of Nascent Soul to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

But we met again.

But it's here.

After recognizing Zhang Yan, the man's expression changed slightly, as if he was afraid of something.

"explain."

"Which force is the Human Race Dao Alliance's Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator fighting against?"

Zhang Yan, expressionless, questioned the man.

"Young Master Zhang..."

"If I tell you, could you spare my life out of consideration for our past as fellow disciples?"

The man looked at Zhang Yan, his face pale, and cautiously tried to bargain.

"hehe."

"Whoever answers last will die."

Zhang Yan didn't give him a chance to discuss it at all, and sneered.

This is the kind of person who betrayed the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

They are even more hateful than the disciples of Divine Phoenix Valley and Imperial Sword Sect!
Otherwise.

If Zhang Yan still wanted to ask for information, he would have killed this person long ago.

"I said!"

"Young Master Zhang."

"Behind us is an underwater swamp."

"Our Human Alliance, together with the Divine Phoenix Valley, has trapped four Dharma Aspect Realm experts from the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"The people of the Divine Weapon Pavilion are now at their last gasp."

Another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, eager to save his life, quickly rushed to answer.

"Divine Phoenix Valley?"

"And there are people from my Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

Zhang Yan's gaze instantly turned icy cold.

His intuition was correct.

Sure enough, there was a familiar aura here.

I just don't know why there are only four senior brothers and sisters at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"Young Master Zhang."

"Do not kill me!"

"I'd like to add one more piece of information: Senior Sister Lin Qingyue is also one of the four Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators!"

"If you want to save them, hurry and get reinforcements!"

The mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's expression changed, and he revealed another crucial piece of information.

"Senior Sister Qingyue!"

Upon hearing Lin Qingyue's name, Zhang Yan's gaze turned as cold as ice.

From the moment he entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Lin Qingyue had been taking care of him.

Although he is now the young master of the pavilion.

But he has not forgotten the feelings he once shared!
We absolutely cannot let Lin Qingyue be left here!
"Zhang Shaoge..."

The two still wanted to speak, hoping to gain a chance to survive.

Stab it!

But the light from the Star-Forging Sword had already entered their bodies.

Nascent Soul stage cultivators are as weak as ants under the sword, utterly powerless to resist.

These are members of the Human Alliance.

Even if you spare their lives, it will still cause harm!
"Save my senior sister!"

Zhang Yan's speed surged to its limit, and he plunged into the underwater swamp.

really.

Upon entering the swamp, one is immediately met with powerful auras of Dharma Realm, dense and overwhelming.

One of the auras felt incredibly familiar to Zhang Yan.

……

In the swamp.

"puff!"

Lin Qingyue fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood.

Her pale white dress was stained with blood, like ink on rice paper, which made people feel sorry for her.

"Senior Sister Lin!"

The three remaining Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from the Divine Weapon Pavilion exclaimed in surprise.

However, they all suffered severe injuries, their forms were so illusory as to be almost transparent, and they were on the verge of collapse.

But Lin Qingyue was in the most serious condition, unable to even maintain her Dharma form, revealing her true form.

Fortunately, the true meaning she comprehended is called the True Meaning of Heavy Water.

In this swamp in the sea, she received a double blessing: the power of the surrounding heavy water surged in rapidly, nourishing her Dao body.

She wore a simple, moon-white dress, now torn and stained with blood.

Lin Qingyue's long black hair was scattered in the seawater, and she didn't even have the strength to keep the surrounding seawater away.

"did not expect."

“The Divine Weapon Pavilion is hiding someone like you.”

"With a Dharma form of twenty-one zhang, it was able to withstand the siege of seventeen Dharma form realm cultivators for more than two days."

From the direction of Divine Phoenix Valley, the red-robed Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator grinned maliciously.

More than two days.

Lin Qingyue and her three companions continued to resist.

However, this is also due to the mutual wariness between the Human Alliance and the Divine Phoenix Valley.

But now.

No matter how resilient Lin Qingyue is, she has reached a dead end.

She was ultimately only at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

It only condensed into a seventh-stage Nascent Soul.

It's nowhere near as good as Zhang Yan's tenth-stage Nascent Soul, who has broken through the limits.

"Fellow Daoists of the Human Race Dao Alliance".

"I will kill this woman. I will take her head, and then I will kill Zhang Yan. I will kill her and destroy her spirit!"

The red-robed Dharma Image Realm cultivator laughed loudly, his Dharma Image power pushing open the boundless seawater and grabbing towards Lin Qingyue's body.
