Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"His current spiritual cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Zhou Ling gazed at the little golden figure in his sea of ​​consciousness, his eyes revealing joy.

He could clearly feel that after the golden eye was refined by the spiritual flame, it had completely merged with his divine soul.

As the divine soul figure grew larger, his own divine soul cultivation also reached the late Nascent Soul stage, exceeding 20,000 zhang.

His sea of ​​consciousness also expanded to more than twenty feet.

This golden-eyed soul weapon is now the natal soul weapon of his soul miniature.

Like the Five Elements Spirit Flame, it is his natal spirit object.

However, its quality is high and its power far surpasses that of ordinary natal treasures.

Moreover, the Golden Eyes also possess many of the bloodline talents and attributes of the Golden Eyes Spirit Clan.

It can nourish the spirit and enhance the power and quality of the spirit.

It also possesses the power of soul domains such as the Divine Soul Sword Domain.

However, due to his current level of spiritual cultivation, Zhou Ling could only unleash limited power from his Soul Domain.

With a thought, Zhou Ling sensed the situation of the golden eye on the little soul figure.

This Soul Eye is now just like my own eyes, and I can use it with great ease.

The mind follows the thought.

Its golden eyes then opened, radiating a dazzling golden light.

As his divine soul surged, a dazzling golden soul domain condensed around him.

Within the Soul Domain, golden light flowed like a golden soul sword, with a golden eye appearing in the center.

Unlike its original eeriness and bloodlust, this golden eye, now fused with Zhou Ling's divine soul, appears exceptionally sacred and solemn, exuding an aura of transcendence.

Zhou Ling could sense that this was the energy of his Three Pure Creation Technique.

"Freeze!"

Zhou Ling had a thought and gave a low shout.

Suddenly, golden light shone brightly, and golden soul swords roared out from within the soul domain.

These golden sword energies continuously condensed around Zhou Ling, transforming into a three-zhang-long golden sword spirit.

"A three-zhang-long golden sword spirit form, coupled with the power of the soul domain, is enough to crush most late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Moreover, it is a soul form condensed by the Golden Eye, and the consumption of divine soul is much less than that of a divine soul dharma form condensed by oneself."

"This golden-eyed attack can last for a while; even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to withstand it."

"Moreover, as my spiritual cultivation improves, its power will only increase."

Feeling the power of the Golden Sword Divine Soul Dharma Image, Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Immediately with a thought, the golden eye flashed, the golden soul domain dissipated, and transformed into a stream of golden light, which then flowed back into the golden eye.

As the golden eyes flickered, layers of golden ripples spread out, creating an incredibly mysterious effect.

"This method of condensing the soul domain consumes about one-third of the original amount."

"With the help of my own talent, I can condense a soul form and engage in a fierce battle."

Zhou Ling's eyes revealed satisfaction at the consumption of his Soul Domain and Divine Soul Dharma Image.

Reducing consumption means increasing combat power.

Originally, this kind of attack, which condenses the divine soul into a dharma form, is the most taxing on the divine soul.

It requires extremely powerful spiritual cultivation.

Now, with the help of talent and the Golden Eye, the difficulty of condensing a divine soul dharma form has been greatly reduced.

"Furthermore, the soul domain contained within the Golden Eye can also temper the soul. I wonder how effective it is?"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

This is a bloodline talent from the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan, and it is also the main reason why the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's divine soul is far superior to that of other races.

He immediately activated his Golden Eyes, and golden soul light rippled within his sea of ​​consciousness.

It instantly filled the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

As the golden light spread, the divine soul within the sea of ​​consciousness rose and surged.

The Three Pure Creation Techniques began to operate automatically.

After a stick of incense.

"call!"

Zhou Ling opened her eyes and exhaled.

"This effect is several times better than the same amount of time I usually spend cultivating, and my soul is also noticeably purer."

"The Three Pure Creation Technique was originally a Grade Earth-level soul cultivation method, and the soul power cultivated was already pure enough. However, because it involves cultivating three souls at the same time, the speed will be relatively slow."

"But now, with the help of this golden eye, I can quickly increase my cultivation speed and refine my soul power."

"It seems that the bloodline of the Golden Eye Spirit Clan that condensed this golden eye is definitely of the king level."

Zhou Ling thought to himself with delight.

The Three Pure Creation Technique usually involves cultivating three divine souls simultaneously, resulting in slow progress. He only managed to catch up thanks to his talent.

But now, with the help of this golden eye, the effect is completely different.

Even if all three souls cultivated at the same time, he felt more than capable.

There is also a several-fold increase.

This is the terrifying advantage of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan bloodline.

Zhou Ling felt a chill run down his spine upon learning of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's profound knowledge of them.

Only then did he realize how significant his kill of two fifth-tier Golden-Eyed Spirit Race members truly was.

"Moreover, this fusion will make my spiritual foundation more robust in the future. Not only will the spiritual dharma form and soul domain I condense be more powerful, but it will also be easier for me to break through bottlenecks in the future."

"It is also very beneficial for refining magical artifacts and elixirs."

"This time we've really struck it rich!"

Zhou Ling pondered to himself.

However, not everyone can refine this golden eye.

At the same time, most of the golden eyes contain those blood soul rules, which are not something that cultivators can control.

Even though his current spiritual cultivation is not low, and with the assistance of two fifth-order spiritual flames.

His very soul was almost completely devoured by that golden eye.

At the crucial moment, he relied on his talent to successfully integrate them.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would suffer a setback in such a situation.

Fortunately, I successfully integrated.

The returns were equally astonishing.

Not only has his spiritual cultivation level been raised to the late Nascent Soul stage, but he has also condensed an even more powerful spiritual domain.

It is blessed by the bloodlines of many Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members.

It greatly improves combat power, cultivation, techniques and other aspects.

As one's spiritual cultivation improves, the power of this golden eye will become increasingly formidable.

This is something he's really looking forward to.

"If I integrate my three divine soul avatars into the Golden Eye Soul Domain, its power will definitely increase significantly."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

However, he did not attempt to condense it, since the fusion of this kind of divine soul dharma realm was too costly.

There is no need for it at the moment.

As the Three Pure Creation Technique and the Golden Eye continued to merge, they naturally reached an agreement.

"Now, his spiritual cultivation has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his magical power is at the peak of the Golden Core realm."

"Next, we need to prepare to condense our Nascent Soul."

Zhou Ling stroked his chin, pondering the next step in condensing his Nascent Soul.

After all, the Liu family still put a lot of pressure on him, and he needed to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

He currently possesses two Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul Pills.

The other auxiliary spiritual items are also almost ready.

Moreover, he was confident in his current level of cultivation.

There is absolutely no need for auxiliary spiritual objects in terms of the soul.

Similarly, magic power is unnecessary.

Therefore, the auxiliary spirit is not a key factor for me.

On the contrary, when facing a tribulation of lightning, one should be fully prepared.

After all, the Nascent Soul Tribulation is much more powerful and threatening than the Golden Core Tribulation.

He had personally experienced what it was like when Gong Yidu was struck by lightning.

The formation of a Nascent Soul is divided into Heavenly Grade, Earthly Grade, Profound Grade, and Ordinary Grade.

These are the four qualities of a nascent soul.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators only survive the tribulation by chance; their internal mana and the quality of their rules are generally low, and they only experience three ordinary tribulations.

Those at this level possess only average magical power and knowledge of the rules, and their lifespan barely reaches eight hundred years.

It is difficult to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in terms of cultivation.

Unable to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. A Profound-grade Nascent Soul, while of decent quality, requires undergoing four tribulations of heaven and earth lightning to potentially condense.

Its accumulated magical power and rules are quite good, and theoretically it has a chance to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, but without a great opportunity, the hope is not high.

A Nascent Soul cultivator of Earth grade needs to undergo five tribulations of lightning. Their magical power and rules are extremely intact, indicating great potential. They have a 50% chance of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Those who reach the Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul stage must face six layers of lightning tribulation, which is extremely risky. However, they also achieve the most perfect magical power and rules, making them not only powerful in combat at the Nascent Soul stage, but also having the highest hope of advancing to the Divine Transformation stage in the future.

"Given the current state of my two Golden Cores, the tribulation I will face when I attempt to break through to the Heavenly Nascent Soul stage will be extremely terrifying."

"Fortunately, I have the Five Elements Thunder Talent, which can greatly reduce the threat of the thunder tribulation to me."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Now, with the added advantage of talent.

His magical power and spiritual power were also sufficiently refined.

In addition, regarding spiritual roots, he now possesses the Five Elements Thunder Body, comparable to a top-grade spiritual root.

It also possesses the foundation to condense a Heavenly-grade Nascent Soul.

Naturally, we must do everything in our power to break through to the Heavenly Nascent Soul stage.

"Moreover, given the current situation, we also need to guard against the Liu family sabotaging things, so we need to be fully prepared."

Zhou Ling's eyes darted around as he considered his plan to condense his Nascent Soul.

Besides preparing for one's own tribulation and lightning strikes, one must also guard against the opponent's sabotage.

With the Zhou family's current strength, the presence of a fifth-order magic array, and his master's protection, he has no worries about ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

The main concern is the two members of the Liu family: the patriarch, who is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the Void Refining Ancestor.

If they interfere during the tribulation, they will face enormous risks.

"It might be safer to undergo the tribulation in other places."

"However, given my current status of having two Golden Cores, other places are not very suitable."

Zhou Ling raised an eyebrow and thought to himself.

Currently, the only place where one can condense a Nascent Soul is the Zhou family.

Alternatively, you can go to Qingyun Immortal City.

However, Qingyun Immortal City has only recently become a fifth-tier immortal city, and its spiritual power and rules are still somewhat lacking, which will definitely affect his ability to condense a Heaven-grade Nascent Soul.

The other place is the Wang family.

The fifth rank possesses a top-grade fifth-rank spiritual vein, sufficient to assist in the breakthrough of the Nascent Soul tribulation.

It is also deeply intertwined with their own interests.

He would definitely allow himself to undergo the tribulation of lightning in the Wang family.

However, if the Liu family were to take action against me, simply avoiding them wouldn't be a good solution.

"We still need to discuss this with Master."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Without thinking further, he got up and left the cultivation room.

"father."

"Husband."

Inside the courtyard, Wang Xin was instructing her daughter on how to set up a magic array.

Upon seeing Zhou Ling, Wang Ying'er ran over with a smile.

"Ying'er, how's your studying going?"

Zhou Ling picked up his daughter and smiled.

"Father, Mother taught me how to set up a Qi-gathering array today, and it's a bit difficult."

Zhou Ying'er said softly.

"If it's difficult, just learn it slowly."

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Now, while cultivating herself, Wang Xin also devotes more energy to teaching her children.

Originally, at Zhou Ying'er's age, she could have entered the Taoist academy to cultivate.

But Wang Xin has time herself.

In addition, both the Zhou family and the Lingxiao Sect have well-established traditions.

Therefore, she felt there was no need to go to a Taoist temple to cultivate.

In two more years, I can go directly to the Lingxiao Sect to cultivate.

After all, the Lingxiao Sect has now opened cultivation classes.

Sixty people are recruited each year, and a selection process is conducted every year.

Only those who meet all the requirements will be retained.

"Husband, did the fusion of the Golden Eyes go smoothly this time?"

Wang Xin asked Zhou Ling with concern.

They all knew that the golden eye was somewhat eerie.

And the grade is not low.

"There are no problems, and my spiritual energy has even improved quite a bit."

Zhou Ling said to his wife with a smile.

"Great!"

Wang Xin's beautiful face lit up with a smile.

"Ying'er, tell your father, what makes this formation so difficult?"

He and his wife then taught their daughter how to practice formations.

Although he was not an expert in magic arrays, with his current knowledge and talent, teaching his daughter to cultivate magic arrays would not be a problem.

······.

A few more days passed.

Inside the headquarters of the Dao Alliance, in an ancient and simple hall.

"Greetings, Chief Meng."

Zhou Ling bowed to Meng Si.

"sit down!"

Meng Sishou put down the jade book in his hand and said with a smile.

"I have asked you to come here today because there is something I need to tell you."

Meng Si Shou poured Zhou Ling another cup of spiritual tea and said with a smile.

Zhou Ling took the spirit tea, took a sip, and listened patiently.

Now he has a good understanding of Chief Meng's style.

When there's something important to discuss, there will be absolutely no unnecessary chatter.

"The Xuanjun Division is currently lacking a leader because Liu Zhengsheng was taken to the Immortal Sect."

"I have recommended you as one of the candidates."

"I will be competing for this position with three other candidates."

Meng Sishou said solemnly.

"The head of the Xuanjun Division?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Logically speaking, as the head of the Tianjian Division, his position is no lower than that of the head of the Xuanjun Division.

However, Tianjian Division is not one of the Nine Divisions.

While holding the same position as the head of the Nine Departments, there are still some differences in various aspects compared to holding the same position in the Nine Departments.

"Your military achievements over the years are enough to qualify you for this position, but other department heads within the Dao Alliance also have the right to make recommendations, so there will be a competition."

"Especially the Liu family. Although Liu Zhengsheng was taken away, the Liu family's strength has not been greatly affected."

"And this position is extremely important; it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Liu family again."

Meng Sishou said solemnly.

This official position was originally held by Liu Zhengsheng, and the Liu family still has a quota for recommendation.

"Yes, junior will follow the chief's instructions."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately cupped his hands in response.

The Liu family is powerful, so naturally we must weaken them step by step.

If they are allowed to continue holding the position of head of the Xuanjun Division, it will not be so easy to weaken them.

"Chief, how do we compete for this?"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands in greeting and asked again.

"In half a month, we will conduct a simulation of the battle tactics, using our spiritual senses to interpret the battlefield situation."

"Four candidates are competing."

"The winner will take this position."

Meng Sishou said slowly.

He then carefully explained to Zhou Ling the situation regarding the strategic maneuvering. (End of Chapter)
