Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 312 Dean Gong's Gift of the Five Elements Sword Dao Mystic Silk Edict
At this moment, Zhou Ling looked at Dean Gong in the air and found that Dean Gong was shrouded in a mysterious light.

Even with the help of the [Intermediate Observation] talent, it is impossible to see through it.

This mysterious light is the result of the power of heaven and earth.

It was the feedback from the rules of heaven and earth after Dean Gong successfully entered the Nascent Soul stage.

The rules of heaven and earth condense into the mysterious silk metaphor.

This mysterious silk edict contains the power of rules, which will allow the Palace Master's magical power to be completely sublimated.

"I wonder what kind of power of rules it will be?"

Zhou Ling hovered in the air, his face showing excitement.

Once one enters the Nascent Soul stage, their lifespan exceeds a thousand years, which is a huge watershed moment for cultivators.

Even in the fourth-grade Qingyun Immortal City, there are only twenty or thirty cultivators who can enter the Nascent Soul stage, and they are all top-tier beings in Qingyun Immortal City.

Dean Gong is a Heavenly-grade Nascent Soul sword cultivator who has entered the fourth realm of swordsmanship. It can be said that he would have no problem fighting against two ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

After an incense stick had burned, the strange phenomena in the sky and the heavens dissipated.

The sky above Anyang Immortal City finally returned to calm.

At the very moment the strange phenomena of heaven and earth dissipated, under the [Intermediate Observation] level.

Zhou Ling saw a golden light flow into Dean Gong's body.

This golden light spot is a golden nascent soul, about two or three inches in size.

This was also the first Nascent Soul cultivator Zhou Ling had ever seen.

Although the speed at which it entered Dean Gong's body was extremely fast, Zhou Ling still clearly detected it.

The entire nascent soul shone with dazzling golden light, as if draped in a mysterious golden glow, exuding a captivating Daoist charm.

The appearance of the nascent soul looks extremely similar to that of the head of the palace.

As the nascent soul entered Dean Gong's body, Dean Gong's body flashed, like a streak of light across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it landed in front of Zhou Ling.

"Congratulations, Dean, on reaching the Nascent Soul realm!"

Zhou Ling looked at Dean Gong with a happy expression and cupped his hands in congratulations.

He was genuinely happy; ever since he met Dean Gong, his swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds.

All of this would have been possible without Dean Gong's help.

Currently, he knows that there are eight realms in total for the human race.

The Nascent Soul stage is a huge watershed moment. The magical power it possesses is no longer just spiritual power, but also incorporates some understanding of the laws.

"I was able to condense a Heavenly-grade Nascent Soul this time, all thanks to your Five Elements Sword Intent!"

At this moment, Dean Gong's beautiful face revealed a slight smile. Her figure was slender and graceful, her temperament was otherworldly, and her voice gave people a feeling of gentle warmth.

Zhou Ling looked at Dean Gong in front of him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although Dean Gong still looks the same.

But he felt as if he had become a different person.

Her jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her skin was as white and flawless as mutton fat jade.

Her bright, clear eyes were like a starry river, giving people a sense of profound tranquility.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling looked surprised. "Is this Five Elements Sword Intent really that powerful?"

It should be noted that Dean Gong did not possess the true Five Elements Sword Intent.

Simply put, it's a simulation, and there are still quite a few differences between it and his Five Elements Sword Intent.

It was only under the guidance of Dean Gong's powerful swordsmanship that he was able to fully comprehend and naturally master it.

"Of course!"

Dean Gong smiled and said softly.

The voice was calm, but it revealed a hint of joy.

After all, this is a Nascent Soul cultivator!
This is the realm that countless cultivators dream of.

However, as the dean of the Nine Heavens Sword Academy, she had seen much of the world and was able to suppress her excitement.

She then raised her hand, and a mysterious light shot out from her hand, entering Zhou Ling's body.

Zhou Ling immediately felt a vast power flowing into his meridians.

Then it flowed into his dantian, and instantly, the five Five Elements Swords within his body seemed to be attracted, converging towards this light.

It surrounds it, as if trying to merge with it.

"This is?"

Zhou Ling didn't have time to ponder it carefully and subconsciously asked a question.

This aura was vast and mysterious, definitely not an ordinary thing.

"This is the feedback I received from the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Mysterious Silk Edict Rules after I successfully transcended the tribulation."

"I do not follow the path of the Five Elements Swordsmanship."

"Therefore, I'm giving you this wisp of the power of the Five Elements. You can comprehend it yourself, or you can integrate it into your natal sword!"

Dean Gong smiled.

"The power of the Five Elements?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

Just now, due to the influence of the laws of heaven and earth, I couldn't see what kind of feedback Dean Gong received from the laws of heaven and earth.

I never expected that it would possess the power of the Five Elements.

When he first obtained the Fire Cloud Sword, it was sealed with a wisp of fire-attribute divine law, which is why the Fire Cloud Sword was so powerful.

But now this is the profound decree of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Its power is probably ten times stronger than the Xuan Si Fa Yu of the Golden Core Tribulation.

Once it is incorporated into a sword, its power will more than double.

How could Zhou Ling not be excited?

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Gong, on successfully achieving the Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul stage!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Gong, on successfully achieving the Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul stage!"

At this moment, congratulatory voices rang out, and City Lord Qi and other Nascent Soul cultivators flew over from the main hall, all bowing to Dean Gong to offer their congratulations.

They were all Nascent Soul cultivators who had experienced Nascent Soul tribulations, so they naturally understood how significant this tribulation was for Dean Gong.

With a Nascent Soul cultivator of such high caliber as Dean Gong, the chance of him reaching the Divine Transformation stage in the future is over 60%.

As for Nascent Soul cultivators, they are already true overlords within the Dao Alliance.

In addition, Dean Gong possessed astonishing swordsmanship talent.

Those present were naturally more willing to befriend her.

Zhou Ling originally wanted to inquire about the Five Elements Mystic Silk Edict.

But seeing everyone arrive, he didn't ask any questions.

"This hasty tribulation has caused considerable trouble for Anyang Immortal City. If there has been any damage, I will certainly repay it in the future!"

Dean Gong cupped his hands in greeting to City Lord Qi.

This time, Anyang Immortal City activated its protective shield to resist the thunderclouds. Although no one was injured, there were still considerable losses.

At the same time, she transmitted her voice to Zhou Ling, "Zhou Ling, you should go back and refine this wisp of Five Elements Mystic Silk Mandate first, lest it dissipate over time."

"As for whether you want to integrate it into the sword or comprehend it on your own, that's up to you."

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Zhou Ling nodded.

He then quietly descended, intending to return and refine the Five Elements Mystic Silk Mandate first.

"Fellow Daoist Gong is joking. You and I are both members of the Dao Alliance."

"You risked your life to come and help Anyang Immortal City fight against the demonic beasts. Helping you overcome the tribulation is also Anyang Immortal City's duty!"

Lord Qi said with a smile.

"All right!"

Dean Gong nodded with a smile.

If it weren't for a sudden, enlightened realization, she wouldn't have chosen to undergo her tribulation in a densely populated place like Anyang Immortal City.

It would be too dangerous if it caused damage.

"Let's go back to the main hall first."

"This time, Dean Gong successfully formed his Nascent Soul and completely defeated the demonic beast. Let's have a proper celebration!"

Lord Qi laughed heartily and said, "Yes, we should celebrate properly!"

Other Nascent Soul cultivators echoed in agreement.

"Thank you all, fellow cultivators. However, the demonic beasts have just retreated, and our human cultivators have suffered considerable casualties!"

"It is rather inappropriate for me to offer such congratulations!"

Dean Gong shook his head and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, City Lord Qi nodded with a sorrowful expression, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Gong, you should go back and consolidate your cultivation first."

This battle can be considered the greatest victory for Qingyang Immortal Realm in the fight against demonic beasts in the last thousand years, killing one fifth-order demon king and twenty fourth-order demonic beasts.

However, the human race also suffered casualties, including three Nascent Soul cultivators and many other cultivators.

Although the casualties were less than one-tenth of those of the monsters, the number of casualties was still considerable.

After that, no one said anything more.

After bowing to everyone, Dean Gong returned to his own courtyard.

Having just survived the tribulation, she still needed to stabilize her cultivation.

Meanwhile, after returning to the courtyard, Zhou Ling went into the room, sat cross-legged on the futon, and then set up a protective barrier.

After calming down, he began to examine the Five Elements Mysterious Silk Mantra within his Qi Sea.

According to Dean Gong, if this mysterious silk decree is not refined as soon as possible, it will quickly dissipate into the world.

Generally speaking, such mystical silk edicts are bestowed by the rules of heaven and earth and cannot be given to others.

However, Dean Gong used some unknown means to ensure that the Five Elements Mystic Silk Edict did not exclude Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling guessed that it might be related to his own Five Elements Sword Intent.

With his inner vision, Zhou Ling could see the mysterious silk mantra radiating five-colored light.

"Then let's integrate it directly into the Five Elements Sword!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Currently, all five swords with the five elements and five paths are of the third rank.

The independent Five Elements Sword is of the fourth rank, but it does not contain any sword intent.

It was forged during the struggle for the position of Director of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

With a thought, the mysterious silk mantra was controlled by the Five Elements magic power and merged into the Five Elements Sword.

"Buzz!"

The Five Elements Sword emitted a humming sound and emitted a dazzling five-colored spiritual light, enveloping Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling remained calm, carefully sensing the profound mystery of the Five Elements Mystic Silk Mantra with the help of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].

A mysterious five-element ripple spread out from the Five Elements Sword.

The aura emanating from the sword also rapidly increased, lasting for several breaths before the mysterious five-colored spiritual light dissipated.

At this moment, a faint, crystalline five-colored spiritual light appeared on the Five Elements Sword.

This is the Daoist energy resulting from the fusion of the Mysterious Silk Edict, which can nourish and enhance the precious sword.

This is the benefit of incorporating the Mysterious Silk Edict.

Originally a fourth-tier sword, its upper limit will continue to increase.

The premise is that there will be further infusions of mystical silk edicts in the future.

The five-colored spiritual light surrounding Zhou Ling also dissipated.

But at this moment, Zhou Ling was in a mysterious state, and he had a completely new understanding of the power of the five elements.

Zhou Ling was completely absorbed in it.

······.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The roars of beasts shook the heavens, and hordes of demonic beasts surged toward Anyang Immortal City like a tidal wave.

The heavens and earth trembled, its power was extremely astonishing.

On a battlefield west of Anyang Immortal City, a man in a blue robe floats in the air.

Before him, a five-colored sword shone brightly, its dazzling five-colored sword energy possessing an unstoppable momentum.

Just then, a golden sword aura surged out from the five-colored sword, instantly condensing into a golden sword beam more than ten feet long.

The golden sword light shone with an overwhelming golden sword aura, giving people a sense of unparalleled sharpness, making people dare not look directly at it.

"cut!"

With a sharp shout from the man, the golden sword light spread down towards a burly blood-patterned beast in front of him.

Next, the blood-patterned beast let out a deafening roar and unleashed a pair of enormous blood-red palms.

The terrifying force was enough to destroy a giant mountain.

The entire void trembled continuously.

Rumble!
In an instant, the golden sword light and the giant palm of the blood-patterned beast clashed violently.

Then came a heart-wrenching scream.

The Blood-Patterned Beast's blood-stained paw was severed, and its massive body was slammed down by the golden sword light.

It exploded with a deafening roar, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere!
In the blink of an eye, only a cloud of blood mist remained on the spot.

"Is this the power of the Five Elements Sword after it has been infused with the Five Elements Mystic Silk Edict?"

Seeing this, Zhou Ling raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

The monster that was just killed was quite powerful.

The demonic beast is at the mid-stage of the third tier; it has already condensed its bloodline supernatural powers and possesses formidable combat strength.

The golden sword light he unleashed was a sword light that had been fused with the Five Elements Mystic Silk Mandate, possessing a trace of the power of rules.

Although the third-tier demonic beasts were powerful, they were surprisingly vulnerable to the overwhelming power of the rules, which was something Zhou Ling had never expected.

The power of rules is a threshold that only Nascent Soul cultivators can touch.

Zhou Ling obtained this Five Elements Sword Dao Mystic Silk Mantra from Dean Gong by chance.

This also caused a qualitative change in the Five Elements Sword in his hand.

Originally, when he wielded the fourth-tier Five Elements Sword, he could unleash about 60% of its power, which was enough to deal with mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts.

However, with the fusion of the Five Elements Mystic Silk Edict, its power was greatly enhanced, instantly killing a mid-stage third-tier Blood Pattern Beast with a single sword strike.

This demonstrates the formidable power of the Five Elements Sword.

Not only does its power increase, but its grade also improves, which greatly benefits one's cultivation.

After all, the Five Elements Sword was his natal sword, and with this improvement, he had gained some understanding of the Five Elements rules.

With his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, it would have been impossible for him to control the power of the rules.

However, he possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body, and with the advantage of his physique, he was able to barely unleash its power.

The Five Elements Thunder Body is now the medium through which he activates the power of the Five Elements Sword's rules.

To suppress by applying the rules of the Five Elements.

However, this wisp of power of rules is not much, and once it is consumed, it will take a considerable amount of time to recover.

However, for now, the power of the Five Elements Sword's rules is quite a trump card.

With the help of the Five Elements Sword rules, dealing with third-tier demonic beasts became much easier for him.

The reason he was able to kill a fourth-tier demon beast last time was not a true display of his strength.

After all, they also relied on the sword formation to suppress the demonic beasts.

He was aware of this much of his own limitations.

With the integration of the Five Elements Sword Dao Mystic Silk Mantra, the power of the Five Elements Sword has been significantly enhanced.

Zhou Ling sheathed the Five Elements Sword, a satisfied look on his face.

A single golden sword beam was enough to kill a mid-stage third-tier demonic beast; if all five sword beams were activated simultaneously, their power would be even greater.

It's even enough to kill a late-stage Tier 3 monster.

With a thought, he exited the simulated illusion.

He is now in an illusion.

This beast tide also provided him with enough simulated training beasts.

Third-order, fourth-order, and even fifth-order.
