Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 219 Fusion of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul

"Which lineage does this person belong to? I've never seen him before."

At this moment, a huge memorial image was created in Wang Family Square, reflecting the situation of the Wang family's ancestral land.

Looking at the situation inside, the patriarch Wang Sixian quickly noticed Zhou Ling, who was enveloped in five-colored light.

It's not acceptable to not notice it.

Among the dozens of disciples present, almost all of them were enveloped in golden flames.

He was the only one surrounded by five-colored light, not enveloped by golden spiritual flames, making him stand out from the crowd.

“Patriarch, this person is Wang Xin’s fiancé. Wang Yu specially used a spot to allow him to enter the ancestral land to help Wang Xin fuse with the fire seed.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face spoke up.

"No wonder he looks unfamiliar. Do you have any information on him?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sixian nodded, showing considerable curiosity about Zhou Ling.

Because of concerns about the loss of the fire seed, the clan allows others to help when the clan members are fusing the fire seed.

Of course, this involves the ancestral homeland of the Wang family.

Therefore, it couldn't be an outsider.

However, the status of someone like Zhou Ling, who was a son-in-law of the royal family, was permitted.

He had also fused with the Ancestral Flame Seed back then, so he was naturally aware of the terrifying power of the Ancestral Flame.

Yet this child handled it so easily, and despite his young age, he had already mastered five spiritual flames.

This kind of person probably has a complicated background.

Therefore, it is necessary to investigate.

Soon, someone delivered the jade slip.

Wang Sixian scanned the jade slip with his divine sense.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he murmured in surprise, "He's actually a rogue cultivator, but he's already at the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment stage!"

The jade slip contained information about Zhou Ling.

Born in the second-rank Lingxia Immortal City.

Both parents were wandering monks who supported their family by searching for medicine.

Zhou Ling was physically weak from childhood, but he had an extraordinary talent for cultivation.

······.

From the Lingxia West Courtyard to the Xuanyuan Dao Academy's inner courtyard, all the details of Zhou Ling's competitions are recorded.

It's quite detailed.

"He has good talent, and he and Wang Xin are childhood sweethearts, so there's no problem with that!"

After putting away the jade slip, Wang Sixian looked at the ancestral land where he had taken a photo.

Zhou Ling and Wang Xin have been living together since they came to Xuan Yuan Dao Academy from Lingxia Immortal City, which shows that Zhou Ling is unlikely to have any problems.

"Who is this young man? How could he so easily block the Ancestral Flame?"

“This person is not one of my people, and I have never seen him before.”

"Alas, how could this person have gained the upper hand when my Wang family has so many outstanding talents?"

"I've found out, this person is Wang Xin's fiancé, Zhou Ling!"

"It is said that he is an inner disciple of the Xuanyuan Dao Academy in Qingyun Immortal City, and he is also a Heaven-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"A Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator, no wonder it was so easy!"

"With this person's assistance, it will be a piece of cake for Wang Xin to enter the Fire Domain."

······.

On the field, the Wang family members watching the group photo were all discussing it.

Zhou Ling's performance at this moment was truly amazing.

Among the Wang family disciples, there were even Foundation Establishment cultivators with exceptional talent who could no longer withstand the suppression of the golden flames and had to leave the ancestral land.

When they landed back on the prayer mats, their faces were filled with resentment and helplessness.

Before long, Zhou Ling's reputation spread among the Wang family members.

While the Wang family members were discussing it with surprise.

Inside the ancestral land, Zhou Ling felt increasingly relaxed.

[Your Beast Flame, Azure Lotus Spirit Flame, Profound Ice Crystal Flame, Earth Spirit Earth Fire, and Qianyang True Fire have absorbed the Qi of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Spirit Flame, increasing the Five Elements Qi-Eating Spirit Fire by 1 and the Spirit Flame Grade by 10.]

Although the rate at which the spiritual flames in his body absorbed the golden flames had slowed down, Zhou Ling still felt completely refreshed.

This golden spiritual flame exerts a tremendous suppressive effect on others.

But for him, it has now become the perfect aid to assist in cultivation and enhance spiritual flames.

Meanwhile, with the aid of the five-colored flames and spiritual light, Wang Xin's pretty face also showed a relaxed expression.

As the five-colored spiritual light flowed, she was able to withstand the suppression of the golden flames.

But on the other side, Wang Qingshang was not so relaxed.

"Hmm, is it about time we couldn't hold them off anymore?"

Zhou Ling frowned slightly as he looked at Wang Qingshang, who was fighting against the golden flames with all her might not far away.

Because the two were very close at the moment, Zhou Ling could clearly feel that Wang Qingshang's clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Just recently, he fought alongside Wang Qingshang in the nameless valley and killed a leader of the Blood Soul Cult.

He was well aware of Wang Qingshang's combat strength.

At this moment, he keenly sensed that Wang Qingshang was under immense pressure from the golden flames and would soon be unable to withstand it.

He was quite surprised that Wang Qingshang, with her cultivation level and being a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator, could not withstand the pressure of the golden spiritual flame.

Of course, he didn't know what the standards were for this Golden Spirit Flame assessment.

It seems to be related to cultivation level, but it's not entirely.

But this has nothing to do with Zhou Ling. His only goal is to help Xin'er fuse with the Ancestral Flame Seed.

Of course, the mission is now mostly complete.

He still has energy to spare.

He had spoken to Wang Qingshang again, offering to lend her a helping hand.

Therefore, Zhou Ling naturally couldn't just stand by and watch her be teleported out of the ancestral land.

He immediately sent a telepathic message to Wang Qingshang, "Sister Qingshang, I'm here to help you fight the flames."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingshang, who was exerting all her magical power to fight against the golden flames, felt the pressure of the flames around her suddenly ease.

Zhou Ling then separated his spiritual flames again, condensing them into five-colored flames around Wang Qingshang.

Zhou Ling then used his spiritual flames to protect Wang Qingshang's body.

Wang Qingshang, whose forehead was already covered in sweat, immediately continued to circulate her magic power to fight against the golden flames.

At this moment, he clearly felt more relaxed.

"Thank you very much!"

Wang Qingshang gently exhaled and transmitted her voice to Zhou Ling.

"It's alright, this is what I promised you!"

Zhou Ling also replied telepathically.

Of course, what he meant was that once it was done, the promised reward couldn't be missed.

"How is it possible that it can even assist Qing Chang in fighting against the Ancestral Flame?"

Looking at the photo, Zhou Ling was actually fighting against the golden flames.

They were also able to spare some energy to assist Wang Xin and Wang Qingshang in fighting against the golden flames.

Wang Sixian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He had experienced firsthand the power of the golden flames.

It won't harm you, but the immense pressure it exerts is unbearable.

However, Zhou Ling's current performance suggests that the golden flames have no effect on him whatsoever.

"Even Qingshang needs his help?"

“Zijian is almost at the late Foundation Establishment stage, but he was still suppressed and forced out of the ancestral land.”

Why did he help Qingshang? What is their relationship?

"This boy seems to be under Qing Chang's command!"

One by one, members of the royal family were driven from their ancestral land by the golden spiritual flames.

The other members of the royal family were also discussing the matter with even greater tension.

Initially, there were some reservations about how easily Zhou Ling assisted Wang Xin in fighting against the golden spirit flame.

After all, if Wang Xin enters the Fire Domain, the competition among the other clansmen will intensify.

Now, as more and more members of the clan are being teleported out.

They were also somewhat worried that if no one from their clan successfully integrated the fire seed, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Wang family. Now, the Wang family was large and powerful, and each branch of the family, both direct and collateral, had their own agendas.

If any disciple in my lineage can successfully fuse with the Ancestral Flame Seed, then they will once again become a direct descendant.

They received the treatment due to being direct descendants of the family.

Therefore, whether or not the ancestral flame seed can be fused is closely related to the fate of every member of the clan.

As time passed, one Wang family member after another was teleported out of their ancestral homeland.

Now, only ten members of the clan remain.

Among them was Zhou Ling, an outsider.

Within the Fire Domain lies the mark of the family's ancestor, and only those of royal blood can enter.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Ling to enter the Fire Domain and thus he will not be able to fuse with the Ancestral Flame Seed.

Of course, Zu Yan already possessed spirituality and would not allow a cultivator from another clan to fuse with the fire seed.

Whoosh!

Within the ancestral land, the golden flames that had enveloped everyone gradually dissipated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing excitement.

This means that they have passed Zu Yan's test.

Next, we just need to wait to enter the Ancestral Flame Domain and fuse with the fire seed.

Everyone's gazes swept across the room, each sizing up the other.

Although they are all one family, the matter of merging with the Ancestral Flame Seed is related to one's entire life's path.

But no one will choose to yield.

Zhou Ling glanced at the others, his brows furrowing slightly.

Of the nine members of the Wang family, all but Wang Xin were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In addition, there are three people in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

He could sense that their strength was not much weaker than Wang Qingshang's.

Faced with such a competitor, Xin'er has no advantage whatsoever.
But he couldn't enter the fire domain to help her!

Now, he is also at a loss, and now he can only rely on Xin'er herself.

Wang Qingshang took out the pills, swallowed them, and quickly recovered.

Although Zhou Ling helped her just now, she still expended a lot of energy.

Wang Xin, on the other hand, did not experience any physical exertion.

"Xin'er, enter the Fire Domain and you can activate the Azure Lotus Flame!"

Zhou Ling thought for a moment and then transmitted his thoughts to Wang Xin.

Through his experience of fighting and absorbing the golden flames, he could sense that the golden flames and the Azure Lotus Spirit Flame were easier to fuse together.

The various spiritual flames in the world have different attributes, but those with similar auras may show signs of merging with each other.

Zhou Ling guessed that perhaps Xin'er could better attract and fuse with the Dao Ancestral Flame Seed by using the Azure Lotus Flame Seed that was born in her body.

He also tried to use [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis] to observe and analyze the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame in the sky.

However, the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame is of too high a grade, and the two talents are not enough to have an impact on it.

Zhou Ling had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, Brother Ling!"

Wang Xin replied telepathically with a smile on her face.

Just like when Zhou Ling helped her fight the flames, she had his guidance.

She believed that fusing the fire seed shouldn't be too difficult.

"All disciples, recover your cultivation as soon as possible. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you will be swept into the fire domain by the Ancestral Flame."

Whether you can fuse the fire seed at that time depends on your abilities and opportunities!

At this moment, the voice of the family head, Wang Sixian, rang out within the ancestral land.

All the disciples had already sat cross-legged in meditation, restoring their cultivation.

Only Zhou Ling, having nothing else to do, looked up at the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame in the sky.

But as his gaze fell upon the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame, he felt a strange sensation.

As if enveloped by golden flames once again, Wang Xin and the others around them all disappeared.

As the golden flames rose, he seemed to be the only one left.

He was startled, wondering what was going on.
"Young friend, you are actually able to fuse five spiritual flames. You really have a connection with fire!"

At that moment, Zhou Ling felt a faint voice in his ear.

He felt as if the energy was coming from the sky.

He couldn't help but say, "You flatter me, senior. I was just lucky!"

"Good luck, that's for sure!"

"Since you have such good fortune, young friend, there is a spiritual soul within my spiritual flame. Do you dare to fuse with it?"

The faint voice continued to drift from the air.

"Spirit Flame Spirit Soul?"

Zhou Ling was taken aback upon hearing this.

"That's right. Generally speaking, only high-level spirit flames can give birth to a spirit soul."

"Although you have five spirit flames, they are not of high grade. It is already quite good that you have been able to grow to the fourth level."

"After being integrated into my spiritual flame soul, the flame's grade can be improved, and it will also possess some of my attributes."

"However, fusing with a flame spirit is not so easy."

"The process is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could lead to everything being lost. You should think it through carefully."

The voice of the spirit flame rang out again in the air.

"A Spirit Flame Soul that can upgrade the grade of a Spirit Flame!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but show a look of joy.

The five spiritual flames he currently possesses are all of the Profound Grade, and according to the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame, their growth potential is only up to the fourth rank.

Of course, for him, the power of a fourth-tier spirit flame was already formidable enough.

But now that he has the opportunity to fuse with the Flame Spirit Soul and improve the quality of the Spirit Flame, he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

He immediately nodded and said, "This junior is willing to merge with the spirit."

"it is good!"

As the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame's voice rang out.

boom!
He felt a sudden jolt of golden flames around him, and then it was as if he had entered a golden fire domain.

Then he saw a golden stream of light flow into his body from the sky.

"Is this the spirit of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame?" he thought to himself.

Then he felt a surge of intense flames erupt from within his body.

Zhou Ling hurriedly activated the Five Elements Qianyang True Technique and the Five Spiritual Flames, beginning to fuse and absorb this spiritual soul.

[Your Beast Flame, Azure Lotus Spirit Flame, Profound Ice Crystal Flame, Earth Spirit Earth Fire, and Qianyang True Fire have absorbed the Qi of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Spirit Flame, increasing the Five Elements Qi-Eating Spirit Fire by 1 and the Spirit Flame Grade by 10.]

Although the cultivation technique and spiritual flames were fully activated to absorb the golden spiritual flames, the surging flames were like a giant wave sweeping across the sky.

Wave after wave crashed in.

Even though Zhou Ling's meridians are now incredibly strong, he still experiences a tearing pain under the fierce impact of the golden spiritual flames.

The excruciating pain quickly spread throughout the body.

From flesh and blood to bone marrow, and even extending into the sea of ​​consciousness.

It seemed as if it wanted to incinerate Zhou Ling's entire body and turn it into ashes.

Despite Zhou Ling's best efforts to activate the five spiritual flames to protect his body.

However, under the impact of the golden spiritual flames, one flame after another was shattered.

The power of the golden spirit flames at this moment is several times stronger than the suppression it had just exerted.

Zhou Ling was also greatly shocked.

I never expected that even after fusing with the five spiritual flames, I would still be facing such a perilous situation.

No wonder the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame gave me such a serious reminder earlier.

This spiritual essence is indeed not something that ordinary cultivators can fuse with.

But given the current situation, all we can do is focus on activating the spiritual flames to protect ourselves.

[You are fusing the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul, the more setbacks you overcome +1, Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul Fusion +30]

As the notification appeared on the panel, Zhou Ling felt a sudden surge of coolness within his body.

The body, which had almost died and lost consciousness, regained feeling.
