Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 373 Fifth-Order Radiant Sun Burning Heaven Flame

"Ling'er, if the risk is too great, don't force it."

Sensing the aura of the spiritual flame, Zi Ling raised an eyebrow and spoke.

This Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame is quite powerful, and its aura is extremely violent.

If Zhou Ling is unable to suppress it, he may be injured or overexerted.

This will be extremely disadvantageous for the upcoming match against the Zixiao Sect.

Moreover, Zhou Ling's own strength was not superior to Liu Polei's at all.

It is even more important to maintain a good condition.

If we don't have absolute certainty about fusing with this Golden Soul Flame Spirit Soul right now...

Alternatively, the fusion can be carried out after the competition ends and the body has fully recovered.

This will minimize the risk.

Wang Qingshang also looked at Zhou Ling with concern, clearly not wanting him to take any risks.

In her opinion, there was no need to rush.

Old Master Wang looked at Zhou Ling calmly, letting him make his own choice.

"Master, you don't need to worry!"

"You know the state of the spiritual flames within me. Even if I cannot fuse with this Heavenly Flame Spirit Soul, it will not pose a threat to me!"

Zhou Ling said with great confidence.

The five elemental flames within his body are now all at the fourth level, with the Qianyang True Fire even approaching the upper grade of the fourth level.

Even when the five spiritual flames combined, they couldn't suppress the Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul.

But for defense, it's more than enough.

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, Zi Ling nodded and said no more.

Just like when she first gave the Azure Lotus Spirit Flame Seed to Zhou Ling.

There are definitely risks involved in the process of integration.

After all, how could one obtain a treasure like the Soul of the Burning Heaven Spirit Flame without taking any risks?

Moreover, Zhou Ling possesses five Five Elements Spirit Flames, a situation that is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can achieve.

"Alright, I will now open the secret realm and let you enter!"

Old Master Wang smiled and nodded.

He naturally wanted to take advantage of this fusion of spiritual flames to see what Zhou Ling's personality was like.

After all, the path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.

At Zhou Ling's age, if he is too conservative, his future achievements will be limited.

Zhou Ling's willingness to forge ahead so boldly is quite in line with his temperament.

As Old Master Wang recited the incantation.

Before Zhou Ling, a void rift suddenly appeared, like a spatial gate, rippling outwards in waves.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Ling stepped inside amidst the concerned gazes of everyone.

The moment I stepped inside, the scene before me changed instantly.

Under a clear blue sky, a golden flame swirled in the air.

It looked like a golden cloud.

It was filled with a scorching, violent atmosphere.

Amidst the flickering and churning, it seemed as if a golden dragon of fire was swimming within the flames, its aura incredibly astonishing.

"Looking at the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame now, why does it lack the terrifying aura it used to have?"

Looking at the golden spiritual flames in the sky, Zhou Ling showed a look of surprise.

More than three years ago, when he saw the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame, he was terrified and his heart pounded with fear.

"Could it be because it has merged with its spirit?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Through Old Ancestor Wang's introduction, he learned that if he refined the spirit of the Heavenly Flame, his combat power would increase by another level.

However, the Heavenly Flame is a seventh-grade spirit flame, and it has already developed sentience.

Merging with its Heavenly Soul won't be easy.

"Luckily, I have a talent for support!"

Zhou Ling took a deep breath.

"Oh, it's you again, you little rascal!"

At this moment, a thought came from the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame.

"Not bad, the spiritual flames within my body have actually increased to such power in such a short time."

"Greetings, senior! I have come to merge with your spirit soul on the orders of Ancestor Wang!"

Zhou Ling bowed respectfully towards the golden spiritual flames in the air.

"You came just in time!"

"I am worried that none of the Wang family members are capable of fusing with this spiritual essence."

"However, I must warn you, this spiritual soul is far more powerful than the one you originally fused with!"

"Once the fusion begins, there will be no turning back!"

The intent of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame continued to emanate.

"Don't worry, senior. Now that I've entered the secret realm, I will not back down!"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands in greeting.

"Okay, then get ready!"

"This spiritual essence contains some of my own origin. If you can refine it, it will not only improve the grade of your spiritual flame."

"It will also greatly help your cultivation, and may even lay the foundation for your future Nascent Soul stage!"

As the thought settled, the golden light of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame surged forth.

The next second, a fierce golden flame, like a raging torrent, swept towards Zhou Ling, emanating an extremely terrifying aura.

"The origin of the Heavenly Flame!"

Upon receiving this thought, Zhou Ling's eyes gleamed.

The power of origin is a level that only Nascent Soul cultivators can access.

Only beings of the fifth rank or higher can come into contact with the Dao.

The demon core of the Fire Dragon Sparrow contains its own essence, but Zhou Ling is not yet able to integrate this essence into his own body.

If, while refining the spirit soul, one can also refine the origin of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame within it, then that would be a huge gain.

"bring it on!"

Zhou Ling looked expectant, his entire body surging with magical power, which condensed into a giant palm, slowly enveloping the golden spiritual flames that were flying towards him.

Upon the first contact, he felt a burning, stinging sensation all over his body, as if his skin were being scorched by flames.

"hiss!"

"If I hadn't fused with five spiritual flames and reached the fourth level of body refinement, I might have been burned to ashes right now!"

Zhou Ling felt a sharp pain all over his body and couldn't help but gasp.

This Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul was clearly several times more powerful than he had expected.

However, with the talents of [Five Elements Thunder Force] and [The More Setbacks, the Stronger He Becomes], he was confident that he had a high probability of being able to refine it.

So naturally he wouldn't give up.

[You are refining the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul, Five Elements Thunder Qi +1, Five Elements Spirit Flame +5]

The Heavenly Flame Spirit Soul seemed to sense that Zhou Ling was absorbing it.

A golden flame inside erupted with a fierce aura, and the golden flames became increasingly violent.

This golden flame is the original flame of the Heaven-Burning Flame!
Through Wang Laozu's introduction, Zhou Ling learned that this spiritual soul looked rather unremarkable.

But it contains the original spirit of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame.

Its power is extremely ferocious.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators must be extremely cautious when facing this.

"Next, it's time to test Beast Flame."

Looking at the dazzling golden flame, Zhou Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.

With a thought, a blazing flame condensed in his hand.

It then coalesced into a dazzling golden Haoyang Bird, which swooped down toward the golden flame.

Next, you need to swallow this seed of fire, refine it, and integrate it into the spiritual flame.

This is also the most crucial step.

It is also the most dangerous. After all, the Beast Flame is only a mid-grade fourth-tier beast flame, and fusing it with a fifth-tier spirit soul is not so easy.

Moreover, this process requires Zhou Ling to exert all his strength.

Originally, this was a spirit with the attribute of incineration. If it were fused with the Qianyang True Fire, which had already fused with a spirit, the difficulty would definitely be reduced considerably.

However, Zhou Ling considered that the Qianyang True Fire could be used as the main refining spirit flame in the future.

Furthermore, the Beast Flame itself possesses powerful offensive attributes and is of the metal and fire attribute, which perfectly complements the attribute of the Heavenly Flame.

So in the end, Zhou Ling decided to choose Beast Flame.

However, Beastfire also possesses the attribute of berserk.

Therefore, the refining process must be handled with extra care.

Otherwise, if both sides erupt simultaneously, even if Zhou Ling is a fourth-level body refiner, he will definitely find it difficult to withstand.

Generally speaking, refining a fifth-order spirit soul is extremely difficult.

After all, a fifth-order spirit already possesses a certain degree of sentience, and it may choose to self-destruct at any time when it senses a threat.

This spiritual essence originated from the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame.

It possesses a certain consciousness of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame.

Like a spirit flame that has been tamed, it will not choose to self-destruct under normal circumstances.

Therefore, Zhou Ling also had certain advantages when refining it.

Otherwise, if it were to self-destruct, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This Heaven-Burning Flame Spirit Soul is truly ferocious."

As the beast flames surged ahead and enveloped the Spirit Soul Fire Seed, Zhou Ling felt even more clearly the violent power contained within.

He immediately focused his mind, and four spiritual flames condensed in his hand, then shot towards the beast flames.

Although this spirit is unlikely to self-destruct, caution is still advised.

Be foolproof.

The Fire Seed Spirit Soul, which had initially held the advantage in its stalemate with the Beast Flame, began to fall into a disadvantageous position as the other four Spirit Flames joined in.

Although all five spiritual flames are at the fourth rank.

However, they are all Zhou Ling's natal spirit flames, and they have been fused together for a long time.

When they are together, they can already autonomously condense into a powerful flame array.

There was a sense of the endless cycle of the five elements.

[You are refining the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul, Five Elements Thunder Qi +1, Five Elements Spirit Flame +5]

At the same time, the [Five Elements Thunder Gang] talent was also constantly absorbing the fire power from the spirit.

Both sides have become locked in a stalemate.

It is unknown how much time passed, but as the spiritual fire seed was gradually suppressed, a surging golden flame began to flow into Zhou Ling's body.

As the golden spiritual essence entered his body, Chen Ling's gaze darkened, and his face paled slightly.

A burning, surging sensation coursed through my body.

The spirit that entered the body emitted wisps of golden flame light as it circulated through the meridians.

These golden rays may seem inconspicuous, but they contain an extremely violent aura, as if they want to burn his meridians and flesh.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhou Ling felt his essence, blood, and flesh being constantly burned and consumed.

He immediately channeled his magic to suppress the golden rays.

At the same time, he circulated the magic technique to quickly refine the fire seed's spirit.

At the same time, the [Five Elements Thunder Gang] talent was also rapidly absorbing the spiritual flames.

These various methods are what give him the confidence to refine a fifth-order spiritual soul.

However, this still seems insufficient.

The Spirit Fire continued its stubborn resistance, making the golden flames even more violent. The flames roared, and Zhou Ling seemed to be enveloped in golden light, making him look extremely dangerous!
"Hey!"

Just then, a cry suddenly rang out from inside Zhou Ling's body.

The Fire Dragon Sparrow Demon Core within his body instinctively coalesced, unleashing a fierce and domineering flame that surged towards the Spirit Soul Fire Seed, attempting to suppress its origin and aid Zhou Ling in refining it.

"Is this the original power of the Fire Dragon Sparrow Demon Core?"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with surprise.

Although he had refined the Fire Dragon Sparrow Demon Core, he was still unable to control its primordial power.

Unexpectedly, stimulated by the Spirit Fire Seed, the Fire Dragon Sparrow's essence actually condensed, helping him refine the Spirit Fire Seed.

"Perhaps it's because there are similarities between the two origins."

Zhou Ling had a guess in his mind.

At that moment, he felt the immense power of this primal force.

With the suppression formed by the origin, he felt that refining the spiritual fire seed would be much easier.

Immediately, Zhou Ling accelerated the refining process.

With the addition of the Fire Dragon Sparrow's essence and the suppression of the Five Spirit Flames, the refining process became increasingly smooth.

As he continued to refine it, Zhou Ling felt the spiritual fire seed constantly merging into the beast flame.

The Haoyang Bird, formed from condensed beast flames, appeared even more dazzling with golden light.

This process was extremely mysterious, and the beast flames also underwent constant changes!
At the same time, his magical power was also constantly increasing.

And so, time passed little by little.

I don’t know how long it took.

The Spiritual Flame transformed into a golden ray of light, completely merging into the Beast Flame.

The beast flames transformed into a golden ray of light, within which a Haoyang bird danced.

Thirty percent of the spirit fire seed of the Heavenly Flame has already been integrated into the beast flame.

However, fully integrating the essence contained within it is not so easy.

However, refining it now is not too difficult.

Just a matter of time.

Because its origin comes from the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame.

At the very beginning, the source made some tests, seemingly to determine Zhou Ling's strength.

Later, it gradually and actively cooperated and merged into the beast flame.

Zhou Ling then continued refining the Spiritual Soul Fire Seed.

If the fusion is successful, the attack power of the beast flames will become another major trump card.

As the beast flames and the spirit fire continued to merge, the golden flames within the beast flames surged, gaining an astonishing and domineering aura of destruction.

At the same time, a primordial energy circulated within his body, tempering his meridians and physical form.

His magical power also continued to increase.

It is unknown how much time passed before the Spirit Fire Seed completely merged into the Beast Flame.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the beast flames shone brightly, radiating a terrifying golden pressure.

The dazzling golden flames roared and swirled, exuding an astonishing pressure.

[Your Beast Flame has successfully advanced to the fifth tier of Spirit Flame by absorbing the fifth-tier Golden Soul Burning Heaven Spirit Fire Seed.]

"Beast Flame has reached the fifth rank!"

Seeing the system notification, Zhou Ling was both surprised and delighted.

I never expected that the Spirit Fire Seed and the Beast Flame would be so compatible.

It should be noted that with the original potential of Beast Flame, reaching the fourth rank was already the limit.

However, after fusing with this spiritual fire seed, it actually broke through to the fifth rank.

It’s incredible!

"But why does it feel like the beast flames are being fused with the spirit fire seed?"

Observing the changes in the beast flame, Zhou Ling thought to himself.

However, this is normal, as this spiritual flame has now completely exceeded the limits of beast flame.

It resembled more of a blazing sun burning the heavens.

A golden sun hangs in the sky, within which the phantom of the Haoyang Bird gathers!

However, this has no impact.

This blazing sun flame is still his natal spirit flame.

With a thought, he was able to easily control this new spiritual flame.
