Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"what?"

"Zhou Ling's points have reached 80,000?"

"How can this be?"

In a tent in Moonlit Immortal City, a young cultivator stared in disbelief at the points jade token in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yutian, who was sitting next to him and drinking spirit wine, trembled slightly in his hand, and his eyes showed a hint of irritation.

He drank the spirit wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then took the points jade token from the young cultivator.

His face immediately darkened.

Zhou Ling, who is ranked first, has a staggering 80,000 points.

You should know that having over 50,000 points was already almost enough to drive someone to despair.

But he did not give up. During this time, while the Star Sea aliens besieged Moonlit Immortal City, he took the opportunity to strike and killed several fourth-tier Star Sea aliens.

With over 10,000 points, he surpassed Feng Lan, who was in second place.

Although there is still a huge gap between him and Zhou Ling.

But he believes there is still a chance.

But at this moment, he was completely desperate.

The gap of more than 60,000 points means that if he wants to catch up, he will have to kill more than 60 fourth-order Star Sea aliens in the next six months.

Almost one person is killed every three days.

He's not a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it's impossible for him to do that.

What annoyed him even more was that he couldn't even hold onto second place anymore, and had been overtaken by Feng Lan.

"Could this kid have killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien?"

Another young man in white robes said with a surprised expression.

Zhou Ling's feat of killing a fifth-tier Star Sea alien and saving Sun City has now spread throughout the entire Sword Qi Great Wall.

They were naturally aware of this as well.

"It seems they're relying on the Sunlit Immortal Sword again. That's not fair!"

The other man in the green robe also spoke up.

"This kid is lucky. He took control of the Sunlit Immortal Sword as soon as he arrived in Sunlit Immortal City, which is why he was able to kill five-tier Star Sea aliens one after another!"

"Otherwise, they would have been wiped out by the fifth-tier Star Sea alien race long ago!"

Hearing their words, Yan Yutian's agitation subsided somewhat.

It seems that Zhou Ling's strength is entirely due to the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

It should be noted that the Sunlit Immortal Sword is a fifth-tier superior-grade sword. With its assistance, dealing with fifth-tier Star Sea aliens will indeed be much easier.

However, catching up with Zhou Ling is now simply impossible.

This made him extremely unwilling.

······.

"Haha, great!"

"This kid must have killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien."

In another spacious tent in Moonlit Immortal City, Chen Zhenglei said with a joyful expression.

Because Moonlit Immortal City was in dire need of help, he had come to Sunlit Immortal City with the reinforcements from Sunlit Immortal City last time.

Seeing Zhou Ling's points suddenly surge again, they immediately guessed what was going on.

This was quite unexpected for him.

The battle between Moonlit Immortal City and the Star Sea Alien Clan is extremely fierce, with significant casualties every day.

However, the two sides' combat forces above the Nascent Soul stage have not yet engaged in a life-or-death battle, so there have been no cases of Nascent Soul or fifth-tier Star Sea aliens falling.

However, two or three people were injured.

Under these circumstances, another fifth-tier Star Sea alien was killed by Zhou Ling.

This is undoubtedly a significant weakening for the alien races of the Star Sea.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you so happy?"

Several powerful human cultivators sitting nearby couldn't help but look at Chen Zhenglei with puzzled expressions.

Currently, several human Nascent Soul cultivators are trapped within the Eight Desolate Blood Fiend Array.

In recent days, they have tried many methods, but none of them have been able to rescue them.

If this continues, they will likely be trapped and die.

That would be a huge loss for the human race.

At such a moment, everyone was anxious and worried, but Chen Zhenglei was laughing heartily.

This naturally made them feel uncomfortable.

After all, Chen Zhenglei was only leading a team to participate in the trial, not a cultivator stationed at the Sword Qi Great Wall.

He can pack his bags and leave at any time.

There's no need to concern ourselves with the life or death of the cultivators in Moonlit Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. I was just a little excited!"

Chen Zhenglei realized he had lost his composure and bowed to everyone in apology.

"It's alright, but I wonder what's causing Chen Zhizheng to be so agitated?"

A middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and a square face asked.

He is He Shenggu, the city lord of Moonlit Immortal City.

Based on his understanding of Chen Zhenglei, he would never lose his composure like this.

"Just now, one of the disciples participating in the trial suddenly saw a significant increase in points."

"If my guess is correct, he must have killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien."

"That's why I lost my composure in a moment of excitement!"

Chen Zhenglei said with a smile.

"what?"

"Trial disciple kills fifth-tier Star Sea alien?"

"He has killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien. Could the disciple Chen Zhizheng mentioned be Zhou Ling, who displayed great power in Sunrise Immortal City not long ago?"

Upon hearing Chen Zhenglei's words, the other six Nascent Soul cultivators all showed expressions of surprise.

Having dealt with the alien races of the Star Sea for many years, they naturally know how difficult it is to kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien.

No wonder Chen Zhenglei was so excited.

Moreover, based on Chen Zhenglei's words, some people immediately thought of Zhou Ling, who saved Sun City from disaster a few months ago and slaughtered everyone.

"Yes, it's him!"

"Just now it showed that his points reached over 80,000, an increase of more than 26,000. There is only one possible reason for this: he must have killed a fifth-tier Star Sea alien!"

Chen Zhenglei's tone returned to calm as he spoke slowly.

"Great!"

"Our human race needs such talented young people!"

"Truly an unparalleled emperor! He has only been at the Sword Qi Great Wall for a few short months, yet he has already slain two fifth-tier Star Sea aliens. This is truly a blessing for our human race and a blessing for the Dao Alliance!"

Several Nascent Soul cultivators also spoke with excitement on their faces.

Chen Zhenglei would never joke about something like this.

Moreover, Cheng Yi had already spread the news of Zhou Ling's achievements throughout the entire Sword Qi Great Wall after the last battle at Sun City.

These Nascent Soul cultivators stationed at the Sword Qi Great Wall all had a very good impression of Zhou Ling.

Knowing that Zhou Ling had once again killed a fifth-tier Star Sea alien, he was just as excited as Chen Zhenglei.

"By the way, Chen Zhizheng, it is said that last time, it was Fellow Daoist Zhou who found the flaw in the Five Phases Blood Fiend Formation of the Star Sea Alien Clan."

"We are currently helpless against this Eight Desolate Blood Fiend Formation. Why not send Fellow Daoist Zhou to see if he can find a weakness in this formation?"

At this moment, City Lord He seemed to suddenly realize something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke to Chen Zhenglei.

"From what I understand, Zhou Ling is quite skilled in swordsmanship, beast taming, and Qi cultivation, but I'm not very clear about his array formations!"

Chen Zhenglei said, not entirely certain.

Indeed, he didn't know how Zhou Ling had broken the Five Phases Blood Fiend Array.

"Chen Zhizheng, we can't worry about that now!"

"We have no choice but to try anything, let's get him to come and take a look."

Lord He said decisively.

"Alright! Let him come and give it a try!"

Chen Zhenglei nodded and said in a deep voice.

They knew that breaking the Eight Desolate Blood Fiend Formation was of paramount importance right now.

Let Zhou Ling give it a try; there shouldn't be too much risk involved.

He then sent a signal to Sun City.

Not long after, a guard entered the tent with a message jade slip.

"I didn't expect Zhou Ling to have already arrived in Moonlit Immortal City, and it seems he was attacked by a fifth-tier Star Sea alien on the way, which is why he killed him!"

Upon seeing the message in the jade slip, City Lord He's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he spoke to everyone. Everyone then looked on with a look of sudden realization.

"Everyone, please follow me to the star field to await Fellow Daoist Zhou, so as to avoid being ambushed by the alien races of the Star Sea again!"

After speaking, Lord He was the first to leave the tent.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators also followed suit and left the camp.

······.

Within the star field, a small warship was traveling at high speed.

A flock of Blood Thunder Ravens led the way in flight ahead of the warship.

A faint defensive shield enveloped the area.

"Brother Zhou, we'll arrive at Moonlit Immortal City in half an hour!"

Qi Jianzhi spoke to Zhou Ling with a solemn expression.

Qi Jianzhi and Bu Yang were now in control of the warship.

Zhou Ling and Feng Lan were sitting cross-legged on the deck, recovering.

Upon hearing Qi Jianzhi's words, Zhou Ling opened his eyes.

At this moment, his cultivation level had recovered to about 60-70%.

It won't be long before I fully recover.

Feng Lan and the other two were not so quick; they were still recovering with their eyes closed.

Bu Yang and Qi Jianzhi, one controlling the formation and the other using runic artifacts in battle, consumed relatively little energy.

"Increase vigilance!"

Zhou Ling sent an order to the Blood Thunder Raven Demon King.

We have now entered the area where the alien races of the Star Sea are attacking the Moonlit Immortal City.

Therefore, we need to be even more careful and cautious.

If they were to encounter another fifth-tier Starsea alien now, they would absolutely be no match for him.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling learned from his previous experience and activated [Crisis Simulation] along the way, along with the cooperation of [Intermediate Observation].

If they sense any disturbance, they will take a detour to avoid it.

As a result, what should have been a half-hour journey took twice as long.

We arrived safely in Moonlit Immortal City.

Although it took a while, it was worth it because we arrived safely.

Because it was during a period of war, alien races from the Star Sea appeared around the city from time to time, so the patrol teams of Moonlit Immortal City were extended considerably.

Zhou Ling and his group's warships were intercepted by another warship when they were more than a hundred miles away from Moonlit Immortal City.

There was a group of about fifteen human cultivators wearing battle robes on the warship.

Each of them possessed considerable cultivation, but their auras were extremely stagnant. The lowest cultivation level among them was the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"We are cultivators from Sun City who have come to participate in the battle!"

Qi Jianzhi quickly informed the leader of his name.

This leader was burly and of ordinary appearance. His name was Wan Nian, and he appeared to be at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Fellow Daoists, follow me!"

After verifying that they were trial disciples, the burly leader became more polite and led them into Moonlit Immortal City.

However, before the two warships had flown for long, they saw figures shooting out from the star stone where Moonlit Immortal City was located.

"not good!"

"Everyone be on alert!"

The leader exclaimed in surprise.

Because he saw clearly that the group flying towards him all at once were actually City Lord He and several Nascent Soul cultivators.

With this lineup, something big is definitely going to happen at the Eight Desolate Blood Fiend Formation!
The cultivators on the two warships were still confused about what was going on, and everyone wore a wary expression.

However, no trace of the alien race from the Star Sea was found for the time being.

Whoosh whoosh!
Seven figures landed on the warship one after another.

"Greetings, City Lord, and all commanders!"

The leader of the group bowed to the several cultivators who had landed on the warship.

"Greetings, Chen Zhizheng, and all seniors!"

"Greetings, Chen Zhizheng, and all seniors!"

Although they didn't know what was going on, Zhou Ling and the others bowed to Chen Zhenglei and his group.

"You are Fellow Daoist Zhou?"

City Lord He looked at Zhou Ling and asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhou Ling bowed respectfully.

"Zhou Ling, this is City Lord He of Moonlit Immortal City, and these are all Nascent Soul seniors who have come to rescue Moonlit Immortal City!"

At this moment, Chen Zhenglei spoke up to introduce the situation.

"I've met all the seniors!"

Zhou Ling bowed again.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there's no need to be so polite!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed a promising young man!"

Several Nascent Soul cultivators returned the greeting by bowing to Zhou Ling.

This attitude completely treats Zhou Ling as a fellow cultivator.

This scene astonished the cultivators of Wan Nian and the Moonlit Immortal City.

I thought something serious had happened.

But judging from the situation, it seemed that the city lord and others were the ones who came to welcome Zhou Ling!
Seven Nascent Soul cultivators are welcoming a Golden Core cultivator. Am I seeing things?

This situation left the other cultivators present somewhat bewildered.

Somewhat unbelievable.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please come into the city with me. We have prepared spirit wine to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."

Seeing that Zhou Ling was completely unharmed and had no injuries whatsoever, City Lord He was even more astonished.

Upon receiving the message from Cheng Yi, Zhou Ling learned that just a few hours earlier, he had killed a fifth-tier Star Sea alien.

But now he seemed completely unaffected, which really surprised him.

It seems that Zhou Ling, who is not even thirty years old, already possesses such terrifying combat power.

It would be extremely difficult to find another Dao Alliance like this today.

Seeing that the city lord was personally welcoming Zhou Ling in such a grand manner, everyone was even more incredulous.

Looking at Zhou Ling, they were all somewhat puzzled.

"Zhou Ling, did you encounter an ambush by the alien races of the Star Sea on your way?"

Chen Zhenglei asked with concern.

"Yes, Senior Chen."

"I encountered a fifth-tier Starsea alien, and I killed him!"

Zhou Ling said calmly.

"hiss!"

"hiss!"

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present except for a few people who knew Zhou Ling couldn't help but gasp.

Although those Nascent Soul cultivators already knew, Zhou Ling's confidence was completely different now that he said it himself.

The cultivators of Wan Nian Deng Yueyao Immortal City were utterly horrified.

A Golden Core cultivator said that killing a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race member felt like killing a second-tier Star Sea alien race member.

He said it so casually!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Chen Zhenglei praised with a hearty smile.

Zhou Ling was the one who recommended him to the Inspection Division. With such astonishing combat power, he was also proud.

"Let's go into the city first, then we can talk in detail!"

Lord He waved his hand and addressed the crowd.

Afterwards, Wan Nian hurriedly steered the warship, leading everyone to Moonlit Immortal City.

Qi Jianzhi and his men also piloted their warships and followed behind.

Soon, they landed on a cluster of star rocks stretching for dozens of miles.

The layout here is roughly the same as that of the Sunlit Immortal City, with camps set up inside a huge defensive shield.

It's not a traditional immortal city like Dragon Sword Immortal City. (End of Chapter)
