Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

A few more days passed.

In the training room.

"Boom!"

Zhou Ling sat cross-legged in meditation, surrounded by purple lightning, emanating an extremely terrifying aura.

Rolling purple lightning filled the entire training room.

Some of these purple lightning bolts resembled purple dragons, roaring and thundering.

Some are like sharp swords soaring into the sky, as if they are about to cleave the heavens.

Some are like a mighty thunder mountain, with rolling thunderous power.

Streaks of purple lightning roared and thundered within Zhou Ling's body, causing him immense pain, which was evident on his face.

[You are refining a fifth-tier thunderstone. Five Elements Thunder Qi +1, Thunder Dao Rules +3]

Right now, he is refining the Thunder Stone he obtained from Liu Zhengjia, absorbing the power of the Thunder attribute rules within it.

As the rules of the Thunderstone continued to condense, coupled with the activation of his talent, bolts of violent lightning, each containing different rule energy, roared and exploded within Zhou Ling's body.

This made him appear as if his entire body was surrounded by a field of lightning, making him seem extremely violent.

At the same time, Zhou Ling also held two Earth-grade lightning-attribute spirit stones in his hand, directly absorbing the lightning power within them to maintain the consumption of his internal mana.

[You are absorbing lightning-attribute spiritual energy. Five Elements Lightning Qi +1, Lightning Spiritual Energy +3]

"boom!"

As surging bolts of lightning energy flowed into his body, his entire body erupted with purple lightning.

Purple lightning rolled, and the Purple Heaven Emperor's Image materialized, radiating an extremely violent thunderous pressure.

As Zhou Ling continued to comprehend the rules of the Thunderstone, the Purple Heaven Emperor's Form grew larger and larger.

One zhang, two zhang...

They stopped when they were about ten zhang away.

Purple lightning swept across the sky, its oppressive power astounding.

"What terrifying power of thunder."

"This is the Thunder Dharma Form!"

"Which Nascent Soul Peak cultivator is cultivating!"

The sudden appearance of the Purple Emperor caused the cultivators of Cloud Sea Immortal City to exclaim in surprise.

The magnificent thunderous appearance was like the descent of a celestial emperor, exuding overwhelming power.

Only those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage can condense a ten-zhang-long Dharma form.

Although there are quite a few Nascent Soul Peak cultivators in Cloud Sea Immortal City, those who specialize in lightning magic are few and far between.

"Huh, is this Zhou Ling's training room?"

"This kid recovered so quickly?"

Lord Chen and the others, who were in the main hall making arrangements for the upcoming battle, also felt the immense power of the thunder.

They all looked surprised as they gazed into Zhou Ling's training room.

"Good! Good! Good! As expected of the peerless genius of our human race, you have recovered in just half a month, and your cultivation has improved even more."

Sensing the aura of the Thunderous Dharma Form, City Lord Chen couldn't help but show a hint of praise on his face.

In their view, given Zhou Ling's injuries and the extent of his depletion, it would be difficult for him to recover in less than a year or two.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling caused such a stir in just half a month.

It has clearly been fully recovered.

Such a physique is truly astonishing.

Inside the cultivation room, Zhou Ling's face also showed a hint of helplessness.

Because of the previous incident involving the divine soul and dharma form, he had already set up a barrier before absorbing the thunderstone.

Unexpectedly, the Dharma form condensed by the Purple Cloud Emperor was extremely powerful.

The barrier couldn't suppress it at all.

To cultivate in such a place, one still needs to set up a high-level magic array.

But I'm only going to stay for a short time, so it would be too wasteful to set up a high-level magic array.

Zhou Ling immediately stopped thinking about it.

Rapidly shrinking phase.

The illusory image of the Purple Cloud Emperor gradually dimmed.

He observed the condition of the Dharma image.

As purple lightning flashed, a mysterious power continuously condensed on the Purple Heaven Emperor's Image, profound and astonishing.

It is very different from the original Zixiao Emperor.

"This is the Dharma Body Divine Power!"

A fierce light flashed in Zhou Ling's eyes.

Unexpectedly, after absorbing the power of the rules of this thunderstone, not only did the Purple Heaven Emperor's appearance expand significantly, but it also condensed a Dharma Aspect Divine Power.

Generally speaking, when a cultivator reaches the Golden Core stage, they can condense magical power and supernatural abilities.

Nascent Soul cultivators are able to condense the divine powers of the Dharma Domain.

The Dharma Aspect Divine Power can only be comprehended and mastered by Nascent Soul cultivators who have truly mastered the power of rules.

Later on, there will be domain-specific supernatural powers, etc.

He is currently at the late Golden Core stage. Even though he has condensed the Purple Heaven Emperor Image, which is incredibly powerful, he has not yet condensed the Dharma Domain Divine Power.

Unexpectedly, after absorbing the rules of the Thunderstone and with the help of his talent, he integrated with the Purple Heaven Emperor's Image and condensed a Dharma Image Divine Power.

However, this is only a rudimentary form of supernatural power; how powerful is it really?

Not yet known.

Zhou Ling reinforced the barrier and continued to accelerate his comprehension and absorption of the Thunder Stone and Thunder Spirit Stone.

We must strive to stabilize this Dharma-image supernatural power.

At the same time, the lightning-attribute spiritual power within Zhou Ling's body surged and boiled violently, continuously increasing in power.

It should be noted that a single Earth-grade spirit stone is enough for a Nascent Soul cultivator to consume for more than ten days of cultivation.

It contains pure and violent spiritual power, which is beyond the control and refinement of even a Golden Core cultivator.

However, Zhou Ling was able to absorb the lightning power within the Five Elements Thunder Force and quickly fuse and refine it.

At this moment, he was surrounded by purple lightning, extremely violent, and his whole body was like a purple lightning domain, with lightning constantly roaring.

His various talents continued to gather, working together to suppress this violent power.

This allowed him to fuse with the Thunder Stone, increasing his speed of absorbing spiritual energy.

"boom!"

When the Earth-grade Thunder Spirit Stone in Zhou Ling's hand completely dimmed and turned to ashes, Zhou Ling's bottleneck in the late stage of Golden Core suddenly broke through.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The surging thunderous power flowed into the Qi Sea, and the rules of thunder merged into the Thunder Golden Core.

After the lightning-attribute golden core grew larger, Zhou Ling's cultivation also reached the peak of the golden core stage.

"Having absorbed two Earth-grade spirit stones, and with the added boost of my talent, I actually broke through the bottleneck of the late Golden Core stage this time."

"It was mainly because of the integration of the Thunder Stone rules that I was able to refine the Earth-grade Thunder Spirit Stone so smoothly, and my cultivation level was able to improve so much."

"However, the Five Elements Golden Core is still at the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

Zhou Ling looked somewhat excited, and purple lightning flashed in his eyes.

The extent of his improvement in Thunder's magical power this time was somewhat unexpected.

He could clearly sense that not only had his magical power increased significantly, but his comprehension of the lightning attribute rules had also reached a completely different level.

The realm of the Purple Cloud Emperor has directly reached the Great Perfection stage.

The Purple Cloud Emperor's appearance has also increased from three zhang to ten zhang.

This is already the limit for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

I feel more comfortable than ever before.

I felt a surge of immense power coursing through my body.

"This is the power of the peak Golden Core stage."

Feeling the state of his internal magical power, Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

He could feel that the magical power within his body had more than doubled.

Furthermore, it incorporates a large number of thunder rules, making it even more powerful.

"Let's see how powerful the Dharma Aspect supernatural power we've just comprehended is."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

He immediately condensed the Dharma form divine power he had just comprehended.

In an instant, purple lightning surged, and the Purple Heaven Emperor's Image condensed once more.

However, this was only a test of his Dharma Aspect Divine Power, and Zhou Ling condensed it to about half a zhang in size.

A vast expanse of celestial thunder roared from the Purple Heaven Emperor's countenance.

A raging field of lightning surged and swept across the area.

Within the Qi Sea, the golden core surged with lightning, releasing an extremely astonishing lightning pressure.

"This is the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Divine Power!"

As the Dharma Aspect Divine Power condensed, Zhou Ling learned the attributes of this Dharma Aspect Divine Power.

Unexpectedly, this divine power was formed by chance. Purple Cloud Immortal Thunder is one of the three great divine powers of the Purple Cloud Immortal Thunder Technique.

Only those with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul can perform this technique.

The amount of mana consumed is also extremely terrifying.

Although it was only a trial run.

However, he could clearly feel that the lightning-attribute magic power within his body was being rapidly depleted.

He knew that it would be quite difficult for him to condense the complete Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Dharma Form Divine Power.

There was no forced condensation; the magical power within his body gradually dissipated.

The image of the Purple Cloud Emperor slowly dissipated.

"call!"

"In just this short time, 20% of my lightning-attribute mana has been consumed."

"Even if we exert all our strength, we may not be able to condense the Dharma Aspect Divine Power."

"Moreover, this kind of Dharma-form supernatural power, once overused, will cause considerable damage to oneself."

Zhou Ling exhaled, his eyes flashing.

Although he has condensed the Dharma form and supernatural powers, his magical cultivation has not yet caught up.

It's still a stretch to actually do it.

"However, with the aid of the [Sixth Transformation] and [Meticulous Detail] talents, I still have a chance if I unleash a full-force attack."

"Of course, there are many methods available now, and there is no need to always use the Dharma Aspect Divine Power to fight the enemy."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

When this Dharma Aspect Divine Power is fully activated, it is powerful enough to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't stop it.

Of course, the consumption is also truly terrifying.

It would be safer to use the Spirit Flame to activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Therefore, using the Dharma Body Divine Power to fight the enemy is not worthwhile.

However, this improvement in his Dharma appearance has another benefit for him.

He can directly unleash the fifth-order Thunder Seal and Thunder Emperor Sword.

Unlike using the Sunlit Immortal Sword, it does not require the aid of spiritual flames.

As for the Hao Lei Seal and the Lei Di Sword, they were both treasures of Liu Zhengjia.

The mark must be removed and the material refined before it can be used.

After understanding the Dharma Aspect Divine Power, Zhou Ling continued to meditate and cultivate, consolidating his peak Golden Core realm.

In addition, he was also planning to upgrade the Five Elements Golden Elixir as soon as possible.

······.

Several days later, Zhou Ling left the cultivation room.

After more than twenty days of recuperation, he not only fully recovered from his injuries, but also advanced his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"Boss, congratulations on your recovery!"

Seeing Zhou Ling walk out of the cultivation room, Qi Jianzhi, who was guarding outside, came over to greet him with a smile.

Judging from Zhou Ling's current state, he could tell that Zhou Ling had almost fully recovered.

Moreover, his cultivation level seems to have improved considerably.

One can't help but marvel at Zhou Ling's incredible luck!
Not only was he unharmed while being pursued by Liu Zhengjia, but Liu Zhengjia was also killed.

Now, Zhou Ling's cultivation level has improved even further.

how did you do that?
Let alone Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators, few can survive being hunted down by Deity Transformation cultivators.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhou Ling rose to prominence; others want to imitate him, but they can't.

"Thank you for protecting me."

Zhou Ling also bowed and thanked Qi Jianzhi.

Because of the example of Liu Zhengjia.

Therefore, for safety reasons, Qi Jianzhi and Feng Lan took turns protecting Zhou Ling.

Otherwise, if you are attacked by others while recovering from your injuries, that would be a huge risk.

Of course, Lord Chen also sent people to inspect the area, but Feng Lan was not at ease.

So it's best for them to protect it themselves.

"Boss, this is what I should do."

Qi Jianzhi patted his chest and said with an air of righteous indignation.

"Have any other members gone out to kill Golden-Eyed Spirits during this period?"

Zhou Ling smiled and patted Qi Jianzhi on the shoulder, asking a question.

After all, this period of seclusion is quite long, and the team is still undergoing trials.

I can't let everyone stay with me in the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

"Boss, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan army has arrived and is currently outside Cloud Sea Immortal City."

"The decisive battle against my human army is about to begin."

"Yan Yutian and the others have already set up defenses on the city wall."

“The cultivators from other grotto-heavens trials have also arrived and gathered at the front line to fight against the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.”

Qi Jianzhi's expression turned solemn.

"Oh, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan army has arrived."

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed; no wonder he hadn't seen anyone else around.

"Let's go take a look."

Zhou Ling waved his hand again and said.

"Boss, City Lord Chen instructed that you should focus on recovering from your injuries and that you do not need to participate in this great battle."

Qi Jianzhi hurriedly said.

Although it seems that Zhou Ling's cultivation has recovered.

But whether he can reach his previous peak performance is hard to say.

After all, the original injuries were extremely serious, which is obvious to everyone.

Moreover, damaging the meridians is the most troublesome thing.

Although it appears to have recovered, once the magic power is fully activated...

It can also easily lead to breaking with convention.

If it breaks again, it will be even more dangerous.

"It's nothing serious. I know my situation."

Zhou Ling smiled calmly.

His internal injuries had long since healed; he had only been practicing thunder magic these past few days.

In addition, given the severity of the initial injury, it was more reasonable for the patient to have more time to recover.

"this."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jianzhi didn't say much.

"There is another matter I need to report to you."

Qi Jianzhi then spoke seriously.

"whats the matter?"

Just as Zhou Ling was about to quicken his pace, he turned around and asked.

"Regarding Liu Zhengjia's ambush of you, the mole who guided you in Yunhai Immortal City has been caught."

Qi Jianzhi replied.

"who is it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's gaze darkened.

Now that Liu Zhengjia has been killed, there is no longer any possibility of reconciliation with the Liu family.

But a behemoth like the Liu family is not so easy to deal with.

Given the irrefutable evidence of Liu Zhengjia's collusion with the alien races of the Star Sea, the fact that he has not suffered any damage demonstrates just how powerful he is within the Dao Alliance.

We certainly can't let this opportunity slip by.

Regardless of the circumstances, it could have a significant impact on the Liu family.

Moreover, Cloud Sea Immortal City is an immortal city jointly established by the four great grotto heavens, and it is not something that the high-ranking members of the Dao Alliance can simply protect at will.

"He is a commander named Wan Xi, with a peak Nascent Soul cultivation level. He was originally a disciple of the Zixiao Sect and has been in Yunhai Immortal City for many years."

"It was he who arranged for Liu Zhengjia to infiltrate Yunhai Immortal City and inform him of your whereabouts."

"The other two cultivators have also confessed."

"Lord Chen has sealed the cultivation of the three and sent them to the Immortal Sect for investigation by the Immortal Sect's legal department."

"These three guys deserve to die."

Qi Jianzhi said indignantly.

"Send it to the Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned. (End of Chapter)
