Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 365 Fourth-Order Body Refinement and Thunder Rules

As lightning flashed, Zhou Ling was enveloped in the rules of lightning, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

The Jade Seal of Rules integrates the power of the rules of heaven and earth. When it is integrated into the Thunder Meridian, a large amount of thunder rules will flow into the circulation of the meridian.

This greatly improved Zhou Ling's physique.

After all, a strong physique is essentially a strong affinity with the rules of heaven and earth.

"Boom boom boom!"

Although Zhou Ling was surrounded by lightning, he gradually gained control over the surrounding lightning power.

His entire body was enveloped in rolling purple lightning, his face exuding unparalleled majesty, like a god descending to earth.

Thunder roared within his body.

His entire body was filled with meridians and blood, crackling with lightning, as if he had transformed into heavenly thunder, roaring incessantly, a truly wondrous sight.

Under the influence of the Thunder Rule, his physical strength is constantly soaring.

The essence and blood that had been completely depleted were gradually being restored.

Time passed little by little.

The lightning within Zhou Ling's body gradually dissipated, and the jade seal of rules transformed into a purple lightning bolt, merging into the lightning meridian circulation.

This purple lightning bolt shone with a purple light, like a mysterious lightning pattern, filled with the aura of the rules of heaven and earth.

At the same time, his vital essence and blood continued to recover.

At the same time, the essence blood shimmered with purple lightning.

It seemed as if purple lightning was gathered within it.

The thunderous rules condensed by the purple jade seal nourished Zhou Ling's physical body, making his essence and blood more solid and pure.

One hundred drops!

Two hundred drops!
Three hundred drops!
Four hundred drops!
······.

As Chen Ling's physical cultivation improved, his essence and blood began to condense rapidly.

From being completely depleted, it continuously recovers and improves!
It reached 1,300 drops directly.

His body refinement cultivation has also reached the fourth level, first stage.

"That's the fourth stage of body refinement!"

Zhou Ling was overjoyed and quietly experienced the changes in her physical body.

Not only is his physical cultivation enhanced, but his essence and blood are also more powerful. His Five Elements Thunder Body is also more refined than before, improving several times over.

This means that his physical strength has greatly improved, and it also contains powerful rules.

Even now, he can contend with the rules and domains of Nascent Soul cultivators using only his physical body.

Furthermore, the power and effect of his body-refining attack techniques, such as the Three Yang Technique, will be greatly enhanced.

"Now, the power of the Fire Dragon Sparrow Divine Power should be greatly enhanced."

At this moment, Zhou Ling felt that his body's essence and blood contained extremely abundant power, and he felt that even a single drop of essence and blood could make a Golden Core cultivator look for his teeth on the ground.

You could try it out in the [Illusionary Realm Simulation] to see how it works.

However, Zhou Ling was not in a hurry and first sensed the situation of the rule jade seal.

As his thoughts flickered, the purple lightning pattern within his body shimmered with a faint purple light.

Suddenly, Zhou Ling felt that the surrounding situation had become incredibly clear.

He was able to clearly perceive the various rules and energy within Qingyun Immortal City.

It was as if the image of the Azure Cloud Immortal City appeared in his mind.

Every so often, there was a strong force of rules.

These are the spiritual veins of Nascent Soul and Golden Core families, condensed from their own spiritual essence.

At this moment, he had the entire aura of the immortal city under his control.

It's like a fairyland in the palm of your hand.

"This is the benefit of being the lord of the immortal city."

Chen Ling could sense the rich power of rules within the Immortal City.

This will greatly benefit his own Five Elements and Thunder rules.

At this moment, the rules of the entire immortal city seemed to be an extension of his body, and he could mobilize them with a single thought.

It felt extremely terrifying.

No wonder the city lord of the immortal city is so powerful.

"If I were to mobilize the power of the rules in this way, breaking through the rule domain of a Nascent Soul cultivator would be a piece of cake!"

Just then, Zhou Ling paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The Xuan Yuan Dao Academy, dozens of miles ahead, shone with a golden luster, dazzling and magnificent, with four golden beams of light swirling around it in the air.

They could even clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from the Taoist temple.

"So these are the four kinds of rule power of the Xuan Yuan Dao Academy?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself, then looked at the spiritual vein that his family had just condensed.

Five golden rays also flowed, but the scale was much smaller than that of Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

This is the spiritual light condensed from the five principles and five elements.

However, because it is a small spiritual vein, the scale of its spiritual light is not as large as that of the fourth-order spiritual vein of Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

"With this Jade Seal of Rules, and by harnessing the power of the rules contained within, I am powerful enough to fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed with a mysterious light, and he could clearly sense the situation of the spiritual veins of the Song family, the Weng family, and other families.

"From now on, things will be much more peaceful in Qingyun Immortal City!"

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Ling's face.

At this moment, he could feel that the Eight Extremes Immortal Thunder Technique he cultivated was several times more powerful.

"Next, we'll head to the Zixiao Sect. We can test our skills against Liu Polei and see if his Zixiao Thunder Technique is more powerful, or my Eight Extremes Immortal Thunder Technique?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

"Let's first observe Liu Polei's Purple Heaven Thunder Technique combat power?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

He planned to observe the combat strength of Liu Polei and the other two, and then use the [Illusionary Realm Simulation] to fight them and find some of their weaknesses.

If we go into actual combat, then we won't be afraid.

Although Sister Jin said that the information on the photo jade was from two or three years ago.

However, the [Illusionary Realm Simulation] has the effect of deduction and can further deduce Liu Polei's specific combat strength.

Now, with the fusion of the jade seal, the advancement to the fourth stage of body refinement, and a significant improvement in the Five Elements Thunder Body, the power of the Five Elements Thunder Body has been greatly enhanced.

Liu Polei, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was not particularly fearful.

Because with the fusion of the jade seal, the rule domain that he has now condensed in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm has limited ability to suppress him.

The power of rules that he has gathered within his body is no less than that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Or rather, by fusing the Fire Dragon Sparrow, the Thunder Dragon, and the Rank 5 Jade Seal, his Five Elements Thunder Body has been greatly enhanced.

"However, these powers of rules are only obtained through fusion, not through my own cultivation techniques, so their actual power is still limited!"

"Only through real-world practice can one continuously improve."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Without thinking twice, he took out the image-recording jade and began to examine it.

As light and shadow appear.

The scene shows a burly middle-aged man fighting with another man.

The burly middle-aged man, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, exuded an imposing aura. With a wave of his hand, a curtain of lightning condensed in front of him.

It flashed with explosive arcs of lightning and blasted towards its opponent.

The opponent looked solemn, and with a swing of his sword, a fiery sword dragon materialized and slashed towards the lightning curtain.

Both sides launched a series of fierce attacks, creating a spectacular scene.

However, the man wielding the sword remained under Liu Polei's control.

Liu Polei appeared relaxed, and his every move seemed to indicate that he was not exerting his full strength.

······.

After watching the battle footage, Zhou Ling activated the [Illusionary Realm Simulation] and entered it.

"Boom!"

Within the Thunder Domain, thunderous light roared and resounded.

Arcs of lightning, like ferocious thunder dragons, bombarded Zhou Ling.

At this moment, Zhou Ling was located within the Purple Heaven Thunder Domain condensed by Liu Polei.

This Purple Heaven Thunder Domain is a divine power within Liu Polei's Purple Heaven Thunder Technique, specifically the Purple Heaven Thunder Sea.

Endless thunder roared and surged, as if Zhou Ling were in the midst of a heavenly tribulation.

The next moment, these bolts of lightning converged into a hundred-foot-long lightning dragon, which struck towards Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling felt an overwhelming, oppressive force of thunder. He felt as if he were in an endless field of lightning.

Having integrated numerous thunder rules, he naturally understood that this was Liu Polei's Thunder Domain.

Within this realm of lightning, his rules govern everything.

"Yan!"

A dragon's roar soared into the sky.

A phantom image of a thunder dragon materialized, its massive body, tens of feet long, encircling Zhou Ling.

The Thunder Dragon swung its claws and collided violently with the incoming Thunder Dragon.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared into the sky.

"Thunder attribute cultivators primarily focus on the intent to kill. This opponent's thunderous divine power not only contains the intent to kill, but also an endless rule of killing."

"This comes from his own lightning-attribute physique!"

"My illusory image of the Thunder Dragon comes from the Thunder Dragon Demon Core, and its power is considerable, but it is still somewhat inferior to the opponent's rules!"

Suspended amidst the sea of ​​lightning, Zhou Ling's thoughts raced.

The Thunder Rules are rules that exist naturally.

Any cultivator who has cultivated thunder magic to a certain level and entered the Nascent Soul realm has the opportunity to master it.

Of course, the difficulty is completely different if it's like condensing a domain of thunderous rules.

One must cultivate a high-level lightning-attribute technique to condense a lightning domain.

Those cultivators with a lightning physique can create even more terrifying lightning domains.

Possessing unique rules of the Thunder Domain, Liu Polei's Thunder Domain has a powerful killing intent.

This further enhanced the power of his lightning domain.

With his innate ability to observe and analyze, Zhou Ling was able to see that the Thunder Domain contained terrifying rules of killing.

Streaks of lightning condensed into a vast lightning domain.

"Congeal!"

With a loud shout from Liu Polei.

At the same time, the lightning in the Thunder Domain seemed to be drawn in, constantly gathering and compressing in the air, and finally a hundred-foot-tall phantom of the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor condensed.

He held a huge thunder sword in his right hand, and a hundred-foot-long thunder dragon coiled around his feet, making him extremely terrifying.

The oppressive aura emanating from this strange phenomenon alone is enough to terrify anyone.

"Fire Dragon Flame Domain."

Zhou Ling suddenly roared, and then his blood essence surged, and flames shone all over his body, forming a fire domain.

A giant fire dragon then unleashed its power.

Its entire body was covered in blazing flames, exuding a violent aura.

"go."

With a single utterance, the fiery dragon unleashed a deafening roar and immediately launched an attack on the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor.

Liu Polei's lightning domain transformed into a human figure, which flipped its hand and brought down a huge lightning sword.

"boom!"

Two incredibly powerful domain attacks collided violently, surging with boundless, violent energy.

A burst of thunderous light erupted.

"Yan!"

With a bloodcurdling roar, the fire dragon was shattered with a deafening crash, and flames scattered everywhere.

The next moment, the scene before Zhou Ling's eyes suddenly changed, and he exited directly from the [Illusionary Realm Simulation].

"No, the opponent's lightning domain is far stronger than my fire dragon flame domain, and besides, I can't fully unleash the power of my fire dragon flame domain."

"And the opponent's lightning domain, besides the lightning attribute, also contains several other kinds of rule power, such as the power of force and the power of space."

Zhou Ling frowned, pondering a way to defeat the enemy with the help of [Intermediate Analysis].

However, this is quite difficult.

After all, the rules of the Thunder Domain don't offer any other techniques; it's all about using force to overcome force.

However, his current Thunder Rules or Fire Dragon Domain are still no match for the opponent's Thunder Domain.

The process of finding a solution can also be seen as Zhou Ling gaining more control over the power of the rules.

Fortunately, there was still time, so he could continue simulating and find more weaknesses in his opponent.

However, the opponent's Thunder Domain Divine Power was terrifying.

A single battle simulation has already depleted most of Zhou Ling's spiritual energy.

He could only take the Soul Essence Pill to recover.

······.

Ten days later.

The main hall of the Lingxiao Sect.

Zhou Lingjing sat in the main seat, with her two senior sisters and several disciples sitting on her left and right.

"Junior brother, your observation skills are truly remarkable!"

Fang Yuyun put down her teacup and smiled at Zhou Ling.

In the past two days, Zhou Ling has gained some insights after studying Zhang Yuhu's swordsmanship.

The opponent's lightning-attribute sword domain has reached the fourth level, and its power is no less than Liu Polei's lightning domain.

Once the sword domain is unleashed, it even resonates with the heavens and earth.

If you are locked on by it, there is absolutely no way to escape.

However, while the opponent's sword domain was fierce and powerful, its terrifying strength could not be sustained for long.

The way to deal with her is to avoid being targeted by her.

To wage a war of attrition.

This was exactly what Fang Yuyun wanted.

She possesses numerous portable magic arrays, some with spatial attributes and others with illusionary attributes.

If one magic circle cannot break free from the opponent's lock, then two will overlap.

Of course, besides this magic array, she also has many other magic arrays with offensive attributes.

She could afford to wear down her opponent by using magic arrays one by one.

However, after this battle, he will probably lose more than half of his wealth.

"Senior sister, just focus on the battle. As for the magic array that's been used up, I'll provide you with any materials you need later!"

Zhou Ling said in an extremely magnanimous manner.

He still kept the more than 10,000 battle merits from the Five Spirits Immortal City battle.

The main purpose was to exchange items for aids to help Xin'er pass the Golden Core Tribulation.

Of course, it's more than enough.

It would also be enough to exchange for some fourth-tier materials to help Fang Yuyun refine a new magic array.

Moreover, he now has a cooperative relationship with the Five Spirits Immortal City.

The Five Spirits Immortal City will also provide him with some fourth- and fifth-tier materials.

That's why he's so confident.

"Alright, with the sect leader's words, I'll go for it!"

Fang Yuyun said with a smile.

The materials needed to refine a fourth-order magic array are quite numerous. Although she is a Nascent Soul cultivator, she did not rely on any other forces.

Collecting them isn't so easy.

Zhou Ling, being the city lord of the Immortal City, naturally had it much easier than her.

So she readily agreed.

"Look at your potential."

"You're blaming your junior brother for the materials used to refine the magic array!"

Just then, a lazy voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, everyone present stood up and bowed to the newcomer, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Indeed, the person who has arrived is none other than Fairy Ziling.

As Zi Ling Fairy stepped into the main hall, her complexion had regained its rosy hue.

After these days of recuperation, her depleted magical power has been fully restored.

"Master, this way please!"

Zhou Ling stood up, gave up the main seat, and spoke.
