Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"The Wood Immortal Official is amazing! He actually killed the evil dragon directly. He truly deserves to be an official of the Celestial Dynasty!"

"Thank goodness! I was worried that our immortal city wouldn't be able to withstand such terrifying evil mist. Thank you, Immortal Official Mu."

"The Wood Immortal is mighty! I want to erect a longevity tablet for him."

Seeing the ominous fog dissipate, many people wept with joy.

The terrifying scene just now almost made one despair.

In just a short while, the fifth-tier demon king was killed by the city lord, and they all started discussing it excitedly.

He was extremely grateful to the new city lord.

If it weren't for the city lord killing the evil dragon, their Eight Min Immortal City would have been destroyed.

at the same time.

After killing the black dragon, Zhou Ling absorbed the black dragon's demonic soul into his golden eye, while its physical body was devoured by the Soul-Devouring Flame.

Under this absorption, his cultivation level recovered rapidly.

Then, his gaze swept across the sea.

The fog over the sea has dissipated.

The Xuanjia Army is currently engaged in battle with two evil forces.

Without the blessing of the evil eyes and mist, the fighting power of the evil army has obviously decreased.

However, their numbers far exceeded those of the Xuanjia Army, and they were not defeated immediately.

With a thought, Zhou Ling activated the jade seal.

Suddenly, the celestial clouds in the sky shone with golden light, and a golden sword light suddenly burst forth from it, like a golden rain of swords, bombarding the army of evil spirits.

Whoohoo!
As the golden rain of swords crashed down, the entire army of evil spirits was annihilated, turning into a dissipating mist.

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

While controlling the immortal clouds to launch an attack, Zhou Ling also transmitted orders to the Xuanjia Army.

Seeing that the city lord killed the fifth-tier evil dragon and broke the evil eye in a short period of time.

They still possess such formidable combat power today.

The Xuanjia soldiers were in high spirits, wielding their Xuan weapons and charging towards the evil army.

Without the evil dragon's command, the evil army has begun to retreat.

Rumble!
Zhou Ling had no intention of letting these evil spirits go unpunished.

Now that my score is at the bottom, it's the perfect opportunity to make a killing and recoup my losses.

To establish a leading advantage.

He continued to condense the golden giant sword and attacked the third-tier evil spirits.

The golden greatsword, like a golden dragon, killed a third-tier evil spirit and then unleashed a devastating attack on another third-tier evil dragon.

This battle continued for the duration of an incense stick burning.

The fighting then subsided.

Most of the evil spirits were killed, but a few, sensing the opportunity, managed to escape along the sea surface.

"Commander Wu, order your men to patrol within twenty miles of the Immortal City and kill any fleeing evil spirits."

Zhou Ling glanced at Wu Jia and the Xuanjia Army, and seeing that many of them still had fighting strength, he immediately gave the order.

"Yes, City Lord!"

Wu Jia cupped his hands in reply.

His gaze was intensely fixed.

The city lord's terrifying combat power far exceeded his expectations.

He not only killed the fifth-tier evil dragon, but also almost all of the dozen or so third-tier evil spirits in the evil spirit army.

The other Xuanjia soldiers looked at Zhou Ling with admiration in their eyes.

Then Wu Jia and Lu Zhubu led the soldiers to burn and clean up the corpses of the evil spirits.

To prevent these malevolent energies from flowing into the immortal city.

After Zhou Ling used the Soul-Devouring Flame to devour those third-tier evil spirits, his depleted mana was fully restored.

Moreover, his cultivation level is constantly rising, showing faint signs of a breakthrough.

He sent orders to Wu Jia and Lu, the registrar, instructing them to handle the aftermath properly.

He then quickly returned to the city lord's mansion and went directly into the cultivation room.

He sat cross-legged and circulated the Three Pure Creation Technique to refine the enormous soul power he had just absorbed.

After all, this is the cultivation level of a fifth-order evil dragon and more than a dozen third-order evil spirits.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would suddenly absorb such a massive amount of divine soul power.

It's probably going to burst from being so full.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling cultivates the Three Pure Creation Technique, which is equivalent to cultivating three divine souls.

Furthermore, by condensing the Golden Lotus Divine Soul Dharma Image, he can store any amount of divine soul power within the Golden Lotus.

Therefore, it is perfectly capable of withstanding it.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”

Zhou Ling's body shimmered with golden light.

As the power of the divine soul continuously merged into his body, the soul power within his sea of ​​consciousness surged.

His sea of ​​consciousness began to expand, and the little figure of his soul flickered with mysterious light.

He activated the Three Pure Creation Technique with all his might, and the three divine soul dharma forms began to condense.

Golden lotus, golden bell, and golden sword then materialized and surrounded him, mysterious and unpredictable.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Under the operation of the Three Pure Creation Technique, the absorbed soul power transformed into pure divine soul power within his body, merging into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom!"

When Zhou Ling's sea of ​​consciousness expanded to thirty feet, his spiritual cultivation naturally broke through from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

"This illusory realm is indeed mysterious. The soul power contained in these evil spirits is even purer than that of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan."

"If one can cultivate in this realm for a long time, it will greatly help improve one's soul."

Zhou Ling smiled, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and thought to himself.

At this moment, the absorbed soul power not only allowed him to break through the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

He also condensed two more Divine Soul Golden Lotuses, bringing the total number of Divine Soul Golden Lotuses he possessed to five.

These five golden lotuses of divine souls are enough to store twice the power of his divine soul.

Zhou Ling didn't think much of it and continued to circulate the Three Pure Creation Technique to consolidate his cultivation.

"call!"

Several days later, Zhou Ling opened his eyes, exhaled, and his eyes were bright and alert.

"Peak Nascent Soul Divine Soul!"

Zhou Ling sensed that his sea of ​​consciousness had reached thirty feet and his divine soul was nearly thirty thousand feet, and it was incredibly pure.

Such a powerful divine soul will be of great help in the upcoming Nascent Soul Tribulation.

"I never expected to have such a gain in this virtual world."

Zhou Ling said with a delighted expression.

It should be noted that his last breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage was just over a month ago.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage without more than ten years of arduous cultivation.

This time, he merely used the Soul-Devouring Flame to devour the soul power of evil spirits such as the fifth-tier evil dragon.

It's equivalent to more than ten years of arduous practice.

Of course, it was only because of this opportunity that he had it.

Even ordinary cultivators cannot condense soul flames, let alone devour fifth-tier demon souls.

It also possesses profound spiritual cultivation.

Let's see how many points we got this time.

After calming down, Zhou Ling took out the Soul Jade Token and checked his score.

"Thirty-five thousand points, ranked first."

Looking at the points displayed on the jade tablet, Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

He was ranked first on the jade tablet, with 35,000 points, and it also noted that he led the native cultivators to defeat the evil army.

Liu Zhengshang, who came in second, had 9,000 points.

The two people behind him earned seven thousand and six thousand respectively.

Moreover, there were no special markings, which clearly indicates that they were all killing single evil spirits.

"The competition is now halfway through, and at this rate, I should have no problem getting first place."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

However, after this great victory, the Eight Min Immortal City will be peaceful for a long time to come.

If I want to kill the evil spirits again, I'll have to go to other places.

"However, there is no need for it for the time being. After all, this competition, in addition to killing evil spirits, also includes an assessment of military leadership skills."

"If I can train the Xuanjia Army of the Eight Min Immortal City well, I will be able to secure victory."

Zhou Ling touched his chin and pondered to himself.

In this competition, the ability to lead troops is also a key assessment point.

After all, he was the head of the Xuanjun Division, and his main job was to lead troops into battle.

Even if one person is incredibly strong, it's not enough for the Xuanjun Division.

"Let's see how many military merits we can gain from Immortal City this time, and exchange them for fifth-tier Xuan Runes."

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed, and he took out the Immortal Official Jade Seal.

Cultivating profound runes is also one of his main directions going forward. Therefore, he needs to take this opportunity to acquire fifth-tier, or even sixth-tier, profound runes.

Only then can the Xuanwen and Mingwen be fused and enhanced.

[Mu Yang, the Immortal Official of the Eight Fujian Immortal City, led the Xuanwei Army of the Eight Fujian Immortal City to annihilate the army of the Evil Dragon Demon King, eliminating one of the Evil Eyes, and gaining 30,000 Immortal Court Merits.]

As soon as Zhou Ling's divine sense entered, a resounding sound rang out from within the jade seal.

"Thirty thousand immortal cultivation points, that's quite a lot!"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

The method of accumulating military merits with the Dao Alliance should be roughly the same.

Immediately, he went directly into the Immortal Dynasty's treasury.

Check the records of fourth- and fifth-order mystic patterns.

"A fourth-order five-elemental mystic pattern requires three thousand immortal cultivation points."

"A fifth-order Heaven and Earth Mystic Pattern requires ten thousand Immortal Merit Points."

Seeing the amount of immortal cultivation required, Zhou Ling didn't hesitate at all and exchanged it directly.

Thirty thousand celestial palaces are more than enough.

After all, once you leave the Void Realm, this Immortal Palace will have no fusion function.

As for the remaining immortal skills, Zhou Ling had not yet thought of what to exchange them for.
The divine sense withdrew from the jade seal first.

At the same time, two antique books appeared in his hands.

The covers of the ancient books are titled "The Mysterious Patterns of the Five Elements" and "The Mysterious Patterns of Heaven and Earth".

Zhou Ling didn't rush to examine the two ancient books. After putting them away, he got up and left the cultivation room.

at the same time.

On the sea, about 600 to 700 miles away from the Eight Immortal Cities of Fujian.

A large wooden boat was moving quickly. Inside the cabin, a middle-aged man with a square face sat in the main seat.

He is Liu Zhengshang.

"How is it possible to reach 30,000 points so quickly?"

Looking at the jade pendant, Liu Zhengshang's face darkened.

For the past two weeks, due to his identity, he has not entered any nearby immortal cities.

Instead, he found a pirate den, killed the pirate leader, and became the pirate chief himself.

After all, leading pirates is also a form of military training.

During this time, he also killed seven third-tier evil spirits.

They had been leading in points.

But now Zhou Ling has overtaken him, and by more than 20,000 points in one go.

This was naturally difficult for him to accept.

"Boss, we have found out that of the three immortal cities within a thousand miles, only the Eight Min Immortal City was attacked by the evil army."

"It was thanks to the newly appointed Immortal City Lord Mu Yang that the Eight Min Immortal City was able to defeat this wave of evil spirits."

A rough-looking man reported to Liu Zhengshang.

"Immortal Officials of the Immortal City of Fujian?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengshang looked surprised.

Therefore, this "Immortal Official of Fujian" is very likely Zhou Ling.

After all, the increase in points is directly proportional to the killing of evil dragons and other malevolent spirits.

A fifth-tier evil dragon is worth ten to twenty thousand points.

But how is this possible?

He had been in the Void Realm for half a month and was naturally familiar with its situation.

Zhou Ling, like him, was merely an external soul.

It's impossible for him to become a celestial official.

"Could this kid have some unknown tricks up his sleeve?"

"Moreover, it can also kill fifth-tier evil dragons."

Liu Zhengshang frowned slightly.

It was originally thought that Zhou Ling's main strength came from the Sunlit Immortal Sword and the Five Spirit Flames.

Arriving in the virtual world, he was utterly vulnerable.

After all, all four of them entered in spirit form, and apart from the Jade Soul Token, they didn't bring anything else with them.

But now Zhou Ling is actually able to kill a fifth-tier evil dragon.

"How did this kid obtain the Celestial Official Seal?"

Liu Zhengshang pondered to himself.

In his view, Zhou Ling was able to kill the fifth-tier evil dragon this time mostly because of the help of the Immortal Official's Jade Seal.

"If I had been first, you might have lived a few more days, but now it seems I can't let you live."

Liu Zhengshang's eyes flashed.

His plan was to secure first place in the standings.

Find another opportunity to deal with Zhou Ling.

After all, the other two players didn't have much lower scores than him.

He is not absolutely certain of victory.

Given Zhou Ling's current score, it's natural that he needs to be eliminated first.

What's the deal with this Eight Fujian Immortal City?

Liu Zhengshang then asked the burly man.

"The Immortal City of Fujian is 600 li away from here."

······.

The headquarters of the Dao Alliance is located in an ancient-style hall.

Several figures sat or stood.

"Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling was the first to break through 10,000 points."

"And it was a fifth-tier evil dragon that was killed."

The imposing and dignified Chief of the Xuan Army, Lu Xian'an, looked surprised.

Of the four participants in this competition, Zhou Ling has the lowest cultivation level.

In his view, it was the most hopeless situation.

He was naturally aware of Zhou Ling's situation.

Without the aid of the Sunlit Immortal Sword and other similar weapons, how can we deal with evil spirits?
Moreover, Liu Zhengsheng originally did a pretty good job in this position.

When the Immortal Sect's legal department came to arrest him, he still tried his best to protect him.

After all, this matter should be handled separately.

Over the years, Liu Zhengsheng has been quite meritorious in the Xuanjun Division.

However, Meng Sishou and others all agreed to take down Liu Zhengsheng.

This also made him quite depressed.

No one expected that Zhou Ling, at such a young age, would possess such formidable combat power in terms of his spiritual essence.

Judging from this, he is in no way inferior to the other three Nascent Soul cultivators.

"If he didn't have some ability, why would I have let him participate in this competition?"

Meng Sishou said calmly.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that Zhou Ling was able to kill a fifth-tier Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan member, his spiritual cultivation must be quite high.

But how exactly?

He wasn't sure either.

Now I can finally relax.

Thirty thousand points are enough to secure victory in this competition.

As for whether Liu Zhengshang will take the opportunity to make a move against Zhou Ling.

He had also considered this risk.

I'm not too worried.

After all, all four of them possessed soul tokens, which could be useful in case of danger.

It is entirely possible to activate the Soul Tablet and leave the Void Realm.

At that time, we will also be able to find evidence that Liu Zhengshang harmed Zhou Ling.

"For Zhou Ling to possess such strength at such a young age is truly a blessing for our Dao Alliance!"

"With such performance, I'd even like to appoint him as the head of my Xuan Ting Division."

On the right, Huang Yan, the head of the Xuan Ting Division, with a ruddy complexion, smiled broadly.

"Chief Huang, it's still hard to say who will win or lose."

Lu Xian'an shook his head.

"Based on Zhou Ling's current performance, it can basically be confirmed."

"Besides, given his current age, his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to ours."

Huang Yan took a sip of the spiritual tea and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'an said nothing more. (End of Chapter)
