Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 340 Double Golden Core

"So you've successfully survived the tribulation?"

"Or is it the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation?"

"That's way too fast!"

"Yes, isn't it said that lightning tribulations usually last for two or three days?"

"Sometimes it takes even longer, but why is it still light out now?"

"Didn't you see that Zhou Ling deliberately challenged the lightning tribulation?"

"This means that he defeated the tribulation lightning. If you had stayed in the same spot waiting for the tribulation lightning to attack, it might have really lasted a long time!"

"I'm so excited! I've actually witnessed the Five Elements Golden Core Tribulation, a sight that only happens once every thousand years!"

"With the power of this tribulation lightning, it must be a Heaven-grade Golden Core!"

On the plaza, many cultivators were excitedly discussing the matter.

They seemed even more excited than if they were undergoing their own tribulation.

Zhou Ling's situation is so relatable that it's easy for people to empathize with her.

Born a rogue cultivator, he actually achieved the Heavenly Grade Golden Core before the age of twenty, all thanks to his talent.

In the history of the Dao Alliance, he is definitely a figure of great importance.

People also showed great respect for Zhou Ling; such a genius was truly rare!
They safely passed through the three tribulations of lightning.

At this moment, Zhou Ling was pale and panting heavily.

The brilliance of that final sword strike still lingers in my mind.

Because it absorbed a large amount of lightning power, it unleashed the power of that sword strike.

He was so strong that even he himself was surprised.

It possesses the full power of the Heaven and Earth Sword.

He was not excited at the moment because he had survived the tribulation and become a Golden Core cultivator.

Although the lightning tribulation just now was extremely powerful, it did not pose a real threat to him because he had the Five Elements Lightning Talent.

Therefore, he wasn't too worried.

Only the final strike of the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt made him feel threatened.

"Is this kid really a Foundation Establishment cultivator? How come he passed the tribulation of lightning so easily, like he was just strolling around?"

The well-informed Lin Zhishou took a sip of the spiritual tea and said incredulously.

"This kid is truly gifted, he's on par with the top geniuses of the Dao Alliance!"

Dean Shen said with a look of praise.

Zhou Ling is currently the most dazzling rising star of Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

Although he represented the Nine Heavens Sword Academy in this competition, he was trained by the Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

From now on, he will be the representative of Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

With a figure like Zhou Ling among the new generation, the future of Xuan Yuan Dao Academy is bright.

Of course, the next step is to ensure that Zhou Ling is not poached by other academies.

Given Zhou Ling's performance this time, other academies will probably be eyeing him.

He achieved the Golden Core stage before the age of twenty, and it was even a Heavenly Grade Golden Core. He was a third-realm sword cultivator and a fourth-grade weapon refiner. Each of these achievements made him an exceptionally talented individual.

Their future prospects are limitless.

"From now on, Zhou Ling will represent our Nine Heavens Sword Academy and will be more than capable of handling any challenge from any other genius!"

Dean Xiang laughed heartily.

"Dean Xiang, you can't say that. Zhou Ling was trained by our Xuan Yuan Dao Academy!"

Dean Shen immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Dean Shen, can your Xuan Yuan Dao Academy teach him that final sword strike from just now?"

Dean Xiang chuckled as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Dean Shen was speechless. Xuan Yuan Dao Academy definitely couldn't have taught Zhou Ling that sword technique.

Will Zhou Ling go into battle tomorrow?

The head of the Wang family came to Dean Shen's rescue.

"They've only just entered the Golden Core stage, and the speed of their tribulation is already so fast. Their magic power, soul, and rules haven't been properly integrated yet."

"We absolutely cannot let them fight tomorrow!"

Lin Zhishou shook his head.

"But this main academy competition determines the rankings of all the academies! He wouldn't give up so easily!"

At this moment, one of the judges spoke up.

"There will be other opportunities after the main hospital competition, and ranking isn't the most important thing!"

Lin Zhishou said calmly.

"I think we should have the Heaven-Mending Academy send a Nascent Soul cultivator to fight tomorrow."

"That's fair, Zhou Ling doesn't have to fight!"

"That idea is feasible."

To prevent Zhou Ling from competing, the judges discussed the matter and decided to break the competition rules.

"Zhou Ling, congratulations."

In the air, Dean Gong, with a joyful expression, sent a telepathic message of congratulations to Zhou Ling.

She didn't step forward. Zhou Ling had survived the tribulation, and now he still needed to absorb feedback from the rules of heaven and earth.

Only in this way can the Five Elements Golden Elixir be truly condensed.

Zhou Ling smiled and nodded at Dean Gong.

"Boom!"

As the thunderclouds in the sky completely dissipated, streams of incredibly pure spiritual energy flowed into Zhou Ling's body.

At the same time, a mysterious golden light condensed at the location of the thundercloud, the intense light so bright it was hard to look directly at, and it enveloped Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling remained calm, effortlessly absorbing the golden light.

In an instant, it seemed as if two vast forces of heaven and earth merged into his body.

It flowed into his sea of ​​magic power, enveloping it in a layer of golden light.

Then, Jin Hui released a mysterious Daoist aura, enveloping the five five-colored golden pills that had condensed within his body.

Then the five golden pills of five colors began to converge and merge.

In the blink of an eye, they completely merged into one.

The five golden pills, originally the size of a thumb, instantly transformed into a five-colored golden pill the size of a fist.

If other Golden Core cultivators saw this, they would probably be greatly shocked.

The size of Zhou Ling's Golden Core is comparable to that of a cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core stage.

Five-colored light surrounded it, making it extremely mysterious.

Moreover, his Azure Lotus Heart also absorbed a large amount of golden light.

At the same time, a purple-gold golden core was formed, with lightning flashing on it.

However, it is only one-third the size of the Five-Colored Golden Pill.

"Double Golden Pills!"

Zhou Ling swallowed, her face filled with surprise and delight.

However, at this moment, he didn't have time to fully comprehend it.

His aura surged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment was completely broken.

They entered the first level of the Golden Core stage.

At this moment, the blood in his body shimmered with wisps of golden light.

This is the Qi of rules he absorbed with the help of the [Five Elements Thunder Qi], which can nourish his physical body and nurture his magical treasures.

The golden light that flowed into the sea of ​​consciousness illuminated it like starlight.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the three divine souls that had been condensed simultaneously opened their eyes, vying to absorb the golden radiance.

The golden radiance transformed into surging soul power, gleaming with divine light.

The three tiny figures of the divine soul also rapidly grew larger, almost doubling in size in an instant, before gradually stopping.

This means that while others' spiritual power increases by one time after breaking through to a higher realm, Zhou Ling's spiritual power increases by three times due to his cultivation of the Three Pure Creation Technique.

After a dozen or so breaths, the strange phenomena in the sky dissipated, and Zhou Ling was then enveloped in a layer of five-colored spiritual light.

It looked extremely mysterious, and every move it made seemed to exude an astonishing pressure, which was very different from before.

Upon reaching the Golden Core realm, one's lifespan exceeds five hundred years.

Zhou Ling also dared to feel the surging vitality within her body.

At the tender age of nineteen, he seemed to have returned to the Nascent Soul stage.

At the same time, the Five Elements Sword shone with golden light.

The Five Elements Spiritual Flames roared.

As Zhou Ling's natal treasure and natal spirit flame, they also received considerable feedback from the rules of heaven and earth.

Both have shown significant improvement.

The spirit flames, which had already been quite depleted, have almost fully recovered to their peak state, and have even become stronger.

"Zhou Ling, go to the training room prepared by the Nine Heavens Sword Academy first!"

Seeing that Zhou Ling had successfully condensed his golden core and was absorbing the feedback from the rules of heaven and earth, Dean Gong spoke up.

"Yes, Dean!" Zhou Ling nodded with a smile.

"Zhou Ling, I wish you success in condensing the Heavenly Grade Five Elements Golden Core!"

"Zhou Ling, I wish you success in condensing the Heavenly Grade Five Elements Golden Core!"

······.

At that moment, Zhou Ling heard a series of congratulatory voices.

These are all from the judges.

Zhou Ling also bowed and thanked everyone.

However, since the square was still packed with people, Zhou Ling did not get a seat on the judging panel.

Instead, they followed Dean Gong to a cultivation room with extremely abundant spiritual energy.

"You should focus on consolidating your cultivation level; you don't need to worry about the competition anymore!"

Dean Gong looked at Zhou Ling and smiled slightly.

"Thank you so much, Dean, for protecting me just now!"

Chen Ling bowed and thanked him.

He also knew that it was definitely not the right time to continue fighting.

Now we need to solidify our realm.

If participating in the war leads to instability in one's cultivation level, or even a decline, then the losses outweigh the gains.

"No need to be so polite!"

Dean Gong waved his hand, his eyes softening.

Knowing that consolidating her cultivation level was the most important thing right now, she didn't say much and left the cultivation room immediately.

"So this is the Golden Core cultivator's power?!"

After Dean Gong left, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on the futon, quietly experiencing the golden core and magical power within his body.

At this moment, the magical power within him gave him a feeling of vastness and power.

It seemed to contain immense divine power.

Only then did Zhou Ling truly feel the enormous gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.

His ability to fight against peak Golden Core cultivators, and even early Nascent Soul cultivators, was the result of a combination of factors.

The most crucial elements are the Spirit Flame, the Sword Soul, and the Five Elements Rules Mystic Silk Edict of the Palace Master.

If these three things are not available.

With his Five Elements Sword Domain, he could at most deal with cultivators in the early stages of the Golden Core realm.

It's simply impossible to defeat a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

After all, the magical power state of a Golden Core cultivator is completely different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Its mana sea is not only several times that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but the quality of its mana is also completely different.

The difference between the two can be described as enormous.

Of course, the various talents also play a crucial role in the battle.

This cannot be measured by cultivation level.

At this moment, Zhou Ling felt a lingering fear about his battle against a peak Golden Core cultivator.

"A Heavenly Grade Five Elements Golden Elixir!"

"Heavenly Grade Thunder Golden Pill!"

Sensing the changes in the magical power within his sea of ​​magic, Zhou Ling then looked at the two golden cores floating in the center of the sea of ​​magic.

He was also aware of the aura emanating from his own Golden Core.

The Thunder Golden Core, in particular, was quite unexpected for him.

It should be noted that the cultivation method he has always practiced is the Five Elements Qianyang True Technique, which is based on the power of the five elements.

It is only natural that the Five Elements Golden Elixir is formed.

He did not specialize in lightning-attribute techniques.

The fact that he could condense a golden core surprised him greatly.

The thunderous power and rules within it are largely derived from the Five Elements Thunder Body absorbing a large amount of thunderous tribulation rule power.

It merged into the heart of the blue lotus.

This also caused his lightning attribute cultivation to increase dramatically.

This also means that he can simultaneously condense the Five Elements Pill Domain and the Thunder Pill Domain.

While absorbing a large amount of rule power to improve his physique, the Five Elements Thunder Body also greatly improved his comprehension of the Five Elements and Thunder rules.

This will be of great benefit to the cultivation of many other techniques in the future.

It can also enhance the power of the Dan Domain.

Moreover, it is possible to achieve an extremely harmonious combination in terms of cultivation techniques, magical power, and alchemical domain.

Even the five elements can be compatible and harmonious.

To unleash its full power.

This is a clear advantage of the Five Elements theory.

"This is what is known as the mutual generation of the five elements!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

The Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique, which I had been cultivating, could only unleash its greatest power when the rules of the Five Elements were in place.

"The power of the five elements has now undergone a complete qualitative change!"

"With the attribute of mutual generation of the five elements, I can transform the five elements' magical power within my body into a single attribute's magical power simultaneously, which multiplies the power!"

"However, it can only be converted between the five elements, and cannot be converted into lightning-attribute magic power!"

"Of course, there will be a time limit!"

Zhou Ling smiled.

Although these Five Elements rules are powerful, they are not omnipotent.

This mutual generation and transformation can only be maintained for about ten breaths now.

Imagine the astonishing power of attacking a single force formed from the five elements of magic.

Zhou Ling was also quite looking forward to it.

Then, sensing the two golden cores within his sea of ​​magical power, Zhou Ling calmed his mind and began to consolidate his realm.

The two golden cores emitted five-colored spiritual light and purple lightning, accompanied by the Daoist principles, refining magical power and cleansing the physical body.

Zhou Ling was enveloped in a layer of multicolored spiritual light.

······.

A few days later, Zhou Ling left the cultivation room looking refreshed.

At this moment, his eyes were bright, and his entire aura seemed to have been transformed.

Zhou Ling quickened her pace and headed towards the small courtyard where she lived.

Successfully entering the Golden Core stage made him extremely happy.

Think back to two years ago, to the ten-year golden elixir agreement with the Wang family.

But he actually reached the Golden Core realm in just two years.

Moreover, it's a Heavenly Grade Golden Elixir.

This speed was something even he himself hadn't expected.

However, now, the head of the Wang family has repeatedly expressed his goodwill to him and has also given him the Five Elements Sword Soul.

He will no longer take the ten-year agreement to heart.

After the child is born, we will make a proper plan to help Xin'er successfully achieve the Golden Core stage within three to five years.

However, this matter cannot be rushed, after all, Xin'er is only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

During her pregnancy, her cultivation progressed relatively slowly.

Thinking of her child, Zhou Ling felt an urgent desire to go back home.

After all, Xin'er's due date is around this time.

I've been away from home for some time now.

Whether we come in first or second place this time, we'll go back once we get the reward.

Spend more time with Xin'er!
"I hope I can get the Jade Rejuvenation Pill as a reward this time!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

With the Jade Rejuvenating Pill, it will be much easier for Xin'er to acquire other auxiliary spiritual items.

Moreover, given Xin'er's physique, the bottleneck she faces in achieving the Golden Core stage is much smaller than his.

The success rate of the Golden Core Tribulation will also be higher!

"Greetings, Instructor Zhou!"

"Greetings, Instructor Zhou!"

Along the way, he encountered many passing disciples who all bowed respectfully to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling smiled and nodded in return.

I never imagined that I would be known by so many disciples in the Nine Heavens Sword Academy.

I've really become a celebrity now.

It's all just empty fame; improving our actual strength is the key!
