Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

In the square, there are four jade platforms standing in four directions.

A misty haze enveloped the jade platform.

Even with Zhou Ling's powerful divine sense, he couldn't penetrate it even slightly.

"Junior brother, this is the Four Gods Platform!"

At this moment, Jin Yun and the others also appeared in the square one after another.

Looking at the four mysterious jade platforms, Jin Yun spoke up to Zhou Ling.

According to the master's explanation, these four jade platforms are the places for questioning one's conscience.

By asking questions and ascending the jade platform, one can obtain the treasures within.

Moreover, the four jade platforms have different attributes.

These are the Jade Platform for Cultivation Techniques, the Jade Platform for Treasures, and the Jade Platform for Spiritual Medicines.

Behind each jade platform lies a different place: the cultivation technique jade platform is the scripture repository, the treasure jade platform is the treasure vault, and the spiritual medicine jade platform is the spiritual medicine garden.

The other is the Great Dao Jade Platform.

As for what the Jade Platform of the Great Dao represents, Fairy Ziling did not know either.

Anyone who can enter the Jade Platform of the Great Dao is a person of extraordinary opportunity.

“Junior brother, you are the sect leader and the one who refined this Thunder Dragon Seal. Only if you enter the Jade Platform and pass the Inquiry will we be qualified to enter!”

Fang Yuyun also smiled and said to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling nodded; all of this had already been arranged.

His gaze swept over the five people, and he smiled, "Think it over first, which jade platform do you want to enter later?"

"Master, tell me, should I enter the cultivation technique jade platform or the treasure artifact jade platform?"

Upon hearing this, Weng Lanyue immediately asked.

His expression still looked somewhat conflicted.

She didn't know whether it was better to obtain the cultivation technique or the treasure.

"You should now find the most suitable cultivation method for you!"

"As for treasures, whatever you need, I'll refine them for you when I have time!"

Zhou Ling smiled.

Weng Lanyue was already at the peak of Qi Refining, and she was also a sword body.

Now, the best thing would be to obtain a sword technique that is compatible with her sword body.

Although Zhou Ling also taught her the Five Elements Sword Technique, this was only to lay the foundation.

It does not fit her sword body.

As for magical artifacts, it's not too late to forge them after reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

After being crafted, it will be refined into a natal treasure and nurtured until it passes the Golden Core Tribulation, at which point it will be put to great use.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, Weng Lanyue immediately stopped worrying.

The other two disciples couldn't help but discuss it with their respective masters.

Zhou Ling didn't know much about their situation, so he didn't say anything.

After greeting his two senior sisters, he took the lead and walked towards the jade platform.

But when he stepped into the center of the Jade Platform.

Suddenly, streams of jade light surged out from the jade platform, eventually intertwining to form a jade light shield that enveloped Zhou Ling.

The area around the light shield shimmered with a seven-colored halo, each halo seemingly representing some kind of power, making it incredibly mysterious.

Where has Master gone?

Upon seeing this, Weng Lanyue couldn't help but gasp slightly.

"This marks the beginning of the quest for enlightenment."

Jin Yun smiled and said, "With your master's strength, nothing will happen!"

"Of course Master will be fine. I'm just a little worried. I've taken all the good stuff inside for Master!"

Weng Lanyue said in a low voice.

She had absolute faith in Zhou Ling's strength.

No matter how mysterious this place may be, it will not pose a threat to Master.

The key is to have good stuff.

"You can rest assured about that."

"The treasures on the jade platform are the foundation of the Lingxiao Sect. Your master can only take one or two pieces at most!"

Jin Yun smiled and said.

"One or two meetings are not enough!"

Weng Lanyue frowned and said.

She secretly hoped that her master would empty the entire secret realm this time.

It is only possible to enter the secret realm once every few years.

And if she gets in this time, she definitely won't get a chance next time.

Jin Yun smiled and said nothing more.

"boom!"

At the same time, Zhou Ling, who was inside the seven-colored light shield, suddenly heard a huge roar in his consciousness.

He felt an overwhelming darkness surging in, and an incomparably chilling aura suddenly spread through his mind.

In an instant, it seemed to turn the soul power in his sea of ​​consciousness into ice and freeze it.

"What's happening here?"

Zhou Ling was greatly alarmed.

I originally thought that this so-called "questioning test" would involve asking me questions like why I cultivate.

Zhou Ling had already prepared his answer in his mind, ready to reply that he cultivated in order to achieve immortality.

Unexpectedly, this so-called "questioning the way" actually involves directly asking the question with one's soul.

No wonder Master said that every cultivator who enters the Jade Platform faces a different trial of enlightenment.

But asking the question with one's own soul is clearly quite difficult.

He could only quickly circulate the "Three Pure Creation Technique" to gather the power of his divine soul and resist these icy auras.

But the endless chilling air, like snowflakes from the north, swept across the frozen land.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be sealed away as if it were turning into an icy sea.

[You are breaking through the frozen soul barrier, your resilience increases by +1, and your soul circulation increases by +30.]

As his talent emerged, Zhou Ling felt the three illusory images of the Three Pure Creation Technique condensing like sunlight in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It quickly dispelled the chill within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Before long, the chill within his soul dissipated completely.

A light then shone upon him.

At that moment, Chen Ling felt the scene before him suddenly change.

The original seven-colored light shield has turned into a hazy, indistinct space.

Zhou Ling then spread out his divine sense.

After being frozen, Zhou Ling felt that his divine sense had been significantly enhanced.

However, even so, at this moment, he felt that everything around him was just a hazy blur.

The distance his divine sense could penetrate was extremely limited.

"This should be the library!"

Zhou Ling glanced around, thinking to himself.

Through his intermediate observation skills, he noticed that golden light flashed in the air from time to time.

He could clearly perceive that what was hidden within these golden lights was the jade scroll of cultivation techniques.

However, when I scanned it with my divine sense, it felt completely empty.

Zhou Ling's heart stirred, and he increased the intensity of his divine sense.

However, they still couldn't find any cultivation manuals or jade scrolls.

Silence reigned in the mist, with golden light flashing intermittently.

For a moment, Zhou Ling frowned.

They seemed somewhat helpless.

Although he knew this was the Sutra Repository, he had no way to capture the cultivation manual he wanted.

However, as Master said, as long as we pass the trial of asking questions...

There will definitely be some gains.

After a moment's thought, he simply stopped thinking about it and let his feet wander.

After walking several meters ahead, he felt that the fog around him seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

Even with his powerful divine sense, it couldn't reach more than three zhang (approximately 1.3 meters).

Along with this came a strong suppression of the soul, making people feel dizzy and as if their souls were about to break.

If it were someone else, they would definitely choose to travel in another direction.

However, through [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling was gradually able to discover that the golden light in front of him was increasing.

Clearly, he was heading in the right direction. The next moment, as he took a step forward, the fog before him suddenly dissipated.

As if being gathered up by something, they kept converging behind him.

The scene before Zhou Ling's eyes gradually became clearer.

After calming himself down, Zhou Ling began to look around at everything.

The surrounding scenery flickered between light and darkness, with streaks of golden light flashing in the air.

These golden rays seemed to be enveloped by a layer of colorful light.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that what was floating inside were actually golden jade scrolls.

Some of the light masks flashed with three colors, some with five colors, and some with seven colors.

"It really is the Sutra Repository!"

Zhou Ling said with a delighted expression.

According to his master, the Lingxiao Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the number of its techniques and secret arts is countless.

The different colors outside these light shields correspond to the four grades of cultivation techniques: Yellow, Dark, Earth, and Heaven.

Among them, the seven-colored one is the highest-level Heavenly Grade.

Although not many, they are real.

This filled Zhou Ling with excitement.

It should be noted that the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique" he is currently cultivating is only a high-grade Xuan-level technique, capable of reaching the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

A Heavenly Grade cultivation technique is sufficient to reach the Dao Integration Realm, or even higher levels of ascension and the Mahayana Realm.

However, Zhou Ling naturally wouldn't have such high expectations.

The highest cultivation level in the entire Dao Alliance is currently at the Refining Void Realm.

Dao Alliance cultivators have not appeared for tens of thousands of years.

Becoming a Dao Integration cultivator is clearly unrealistic.

Moreover, top-grade cultivation techniques are not something that can be easily cultivated and comprehended.

This level of cultivation technique contains the fundamental principles of the universe, and it is impossible for anyone without extraordinary luck to comprehend it.

It might be that even the basic cultivation techniques are as difficult as the most difficult top-grade Xuan-level cultivation methods.

Of course, a top-tier cultivation technique might not be of much use to Zhou Ling.

He mainly chooses the Five Elements cultivation methods that match his own attributes.

Of course, he was still somewhat curious about Heaven-grade cultivation techniques.

As his divine sense quietly swept over a seven-colored ball of light not far away.

With the help of [Intermediate Observation], he was able to see five ancient characters emerging on the jade book inside.

The Purple Cloud Immortal Thunder Technique!
"A Heaven-Rank Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique!"

Zhou Ling's eyes narrowed, and his expression became somewhat agitated.

It should be noted that the Eight Extremes Immortal Thunder Technique he is currently cultivating is a low-grade Earth-level technique.

He currently only has control over the first four levels.

That is, to condense four streams of immortal lightning.

Liu Polei's Purple Cloud Thunder Technique is a grade higher than the Eight Extremes Immortal Thunder Technique, reaching the middle grade of the Earth Rank.

This Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Law has reached the Heaven Rank, making it an absolute treasure of the Lingxiao Sect.

Then, he continued to look at a colorful ball of light further away.

"The Three Pure Ones' Divine Evolution Codex!"

"Mysterious Gang Sword Technique!"

"Three Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques!"

Zhou Ling looked excited.

Although he has only seen three seven-colored light clusters so far, there is no doubt that he can cultivate with all three of them.

"Then give it a try!"

Although he felt that the Heavenly Grade cultivation technique was somewhat unrealistic, Zhou Ling could not resist the temptation at this moment.

His divine sense surged toward the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique, intending to capture it.

Think about how I defeated Liu Polei a while ago.

The Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Form he conjured was almost entirely the result of his all-out effort to fuse the Heaven and Earth Sword Formation with the help of five spiritual flames.

Furthermore, there was the possibility of knowing his weaknesses in advance through [Illusory Realm Simulation].

They barely managed to defeat him.

This shows just how terrifying the power of the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor's Dharma Form is.

If one cultivates this "Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique," the Thunder Emperor Dharma Image will be formed.

How astonishing the power will be!

"boom!"

However, when his consciousness approached the ball of light, a seven-colored light flashed, and his consciousness was instantly shaken away.

However, these seven-colored rays did not harm his divine sense.

Zhou Ling's gaze sharpened, wanting to use [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis] to examine the weaknesses of this seven-colored light cluster.

But strangely enough, the two usually invincible talents had no effect in front of the seven-colored light.

"What's going on?!"

The more unattainable it was, the more stubborn Zhou Ling became.

It was truly unacceptable that such a treasure was so close yet there was nothing one could do about it.

After calming down a bit, all I could do was shake my head.

Before entering the secret realm, my master instructed me that as long as I pass the trial of seeking the Dao, I will generally obtain the most suitable cultivation techniques, treasures, etc.

Perhaps I was too greedy to accept the "Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique".

"Since that's the case, let's see what kind of cultivation technique I can obtain?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

After all, he has now refined the Thunder Dragon Seal, and there will be opportunities to enter the secret realm again in the future.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to rush.

It was just a momentary act of greed.

After all, a Heaven-grade cultivation technique is enough to be the most treasured possession of the Lingxiao Sect.

To say that one is not tempted is simply self-deception.

But I realize that this is not something I can obtain right now.

Immediately, Zhou Ling followed his master's instructions and began to circulate the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique".

First, obtain the subsequent cultivation methods of "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique".

Let's consider other options.

However, while circulating the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique", he also subconsciously began circulating the Eight Extremes Immortal Thunder Technique.

In an instant, the five elements shone brightly around him, accompanied by wisps of purple lightning.

He harbored a sliver of hope that he could obtain this Heavenly Grade "Purple Cloud Immortal Thunder Technique".

Judging from the names of the two techniques, they are definitely related.

The next moment, a five-colored ball of light burst forth with five-colored spiritual light and shot towards Zhou Ling.

"A superior-grade Earth-rank 'Five Elements Transformation into Yang Technique'!"

Looking at the jade book within the spiritual light, Zhou Ling was overjoyed.

This "Five Elements Transformation into Yang Technique" is a follow-up practice to the "Five Elements True Yang Technique".

It is of the upper-grade Earth rank, enough to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, the slight drawback was that the "Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique" seemed to have no effect.

But just as he was about to collect the Eight Extremes Immortal Thunder Technique...

"boom!"

As if struck by a sudden clap of thunder, the seven-colored light of the "Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique" abruptly dissipated.

It then transformed into a golden streak of light and flew into Zhou Ling's hand.

"The Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique is mine!"

At this moment, Zhou Ling felt somewhat disbelieving.

But the two jade scrolls in his hand were real.

Looking at the jade book, he couldn't contain his joy.

If they weren't in a secret realm, he would have definitely burst into wild laughter.

"Stay calm. You are, after all, the sect master of the Lingxiao Sect. You will have many more opportunities to acquire these things in the future!"

Zhou Ling took a deep breath and thought to himself.

After calming down a bit, Zhou Ling put the two jade scrolls into his storage ring.

Although he gained two amazing techniques.

But there's another mission for entering the secret realm this time: to collect the Elixir of Immortality for my master.

However, having already entered the cultivation technique jade platform, I wonder if I can also enter the spirit medicine jade platform? (End of this chapter)
