Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

a few days later.

Inside the cultivation room of the Immortal City of Fujian.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Zhou Ling was enveloped in golden light, and his golden eyes materialized.

On the golden eye, mysterious patterns intertwined, radiating mysterious light.

As the Xuan Seal merged into the Golden Eye Soul Weapon, a golden light flashed within Zhou Ling's sea of ​​consciousness, and his soul power roared.

The powerful blood soul force contained within the golden eye was fully activated.

Golden light flowed and blazed intensely, bathing the entire sea of ​​consciousness in a gentle and auspicious light, making it feel incredibly comfortable, as if it were undergoing some kind of mysterious transformation.

"Buzz!"

As the profound runes completely merged into the Golden Eye, the Golden Eye Soul Domain condensed, its golden radiance enveloping the body like a sharp golden sword, fierce and domineering; or like a golden dragon roaring across the sky.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

With the blessing of the Golden Eye Soul Domain, Zhou Ling's three divine soul avatars condensed.

The golden lotus, golden bell, and golden sword forms converge.

And it keeps getting bigger.

In the blink of an eye, it reached seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters).

Like three illusory images of celestial soldiers, they radiated brilliant golden light and hovered above the celestial city.

"This is the immortal technique of the Celestial Official!"

"Lord Mu is truly an exceptional individual. With his protection, our Eight Min Immortal City will be able to live a good life."

"Such powerful immortal techniques are terrifying! I feel like they could directly destroy the Eight Min Immortal City!"

Gazing at the golden phantom in the sky, the people of the Eight Min Immortal City exclaimed in awe.

Not long ago, Zhou Ling killed a fifth-tier evil dragon, and his prestige among the people had reached its peak.

Everyone admired him immensely.

Zhou Ling hadn't expected that he was merely refining a fifth-order Xuan Seal in an attempt to fuse it with the Golden Eye.

I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.

However, I didn't take it to heart.

After all, once the competition is over, we will have to leave the virtual world.

"boom!"

When the Golden Eye and the Mysterious Seal completely merged, the three divine soul dharma forms almost simultaneously exceeded ten feet in length.

It shone with an incomparably mysterious aura.

"Is this a domain Dharma form?"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

Unexpectedly, after merging the Xuan Seal into the Golden Eye, the Golden Eye's soul domain was completely released.

His own divine soul and Dharma form were also integrated into it, reaching the realm of Domain Dharma Form.

It should be noted that only Nascent Soul cultivators can unleash the Domain Dharma Form.

"Moreover, this fusion of the profound seal has made me even more adept at controlling the Golden Eye Soul Domain."

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

He could clearly sense that once he condensed the Dharma Image of his Divine Soul Domain, his combat power would undergo a tremendous change.

Moreover, controlling the Golden Eye consumes less energy.

His cultivation of the Three Pure Creation Technique progressed rapidly.

When using the Golden Eye Divine Soul Domain, its power can reach 60%, which is equivalent to the Divine Soul Domain of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, this is still within the normal range of performance.

Without the assistance of special talents.

Zhou Ling then quietly sensed the changes brought about by the mysterious seal.

To gain more proficiency in controlling the Golden Eye.

After an incense stick had burned, the golden light around Zhou Ling dissipated, and the mysterious seal on his golden eyes was completely integrated into it.

"This Xuan Seal is a fifth-order Nine Xuan Seal. From now on, the Golden Eye will be called the Nine Xuan Golden Eye."

Zhou Ling opened his eyes, and his pupils were filled with a golden light.

At this moment, the golden eye floating in the sea of ​​consciousness was surrounded by nine streams of mysterious light.

The Nine Profound Seal is a fifth-tier profound seal specially selected by Zhou Ling, possessing three powers: amplification, sealing, and transformation.

It was chosen to match the characteristics of golden eyes.

Originally, the Golden Eye merged into his sea of ​​consciousness and became his natal soul weapon, but the power it activated was only 30% or 40%.

But this is already extremely difficult.

After all, the Golden Eye is the soul weapon of the Golden Eye Spirit Clan.

Rather than a soul weapon crafted by human cultivators.

Ordinary human cultivators simply cannot control it.

Zhou Ling was able to successfully fuse with it only with the help of his powerful divine soul and talent.

After being fused with the Xuan Seal, it is like a refined treasure.

It's much easier to control.

Previously, it would have been difficult for the inscriptions in the Dao Alliance to achieve such an effect.

Immediately, he had a thought and tried to activate the effect of the Nine Profound Seal.

Instantly, brilliant golden light roared from the golden eyes, and Zhou Ling's consciousness surged.

A terrifying aura of divine power swept out.

His sea of ​​consciousness, which was originally thirty feet wide, suddenly expanded, and the pressure of his divine soul continued to rise.

He directly broke through the limit of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and reached the early stage of the Deity Transformation stage.

"That's almost a twofold increase. If we add the Golden Lotus Dharma Form to that effect, wouldn't it be more than a fourfold increase?"

Sensing the changes in his soul, Zhou Ling couldn't help but swallow hard.

As the Golden Eye's domain was released, golden light flowed around Zhou Ling, and a golden soul domain condensed, with a golden eye shining like a brilliant golden sun within it.

"This is the realm of the divine soul?"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with surprise, as he could sense the terrifying power emanating from this divine soul domain.

It was completely different from the Divine Soul Domain he had previously used.

This was also the first time he had truly mastered the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although he had killed quite a few fifth-tier alien races before.

However, the main power comes from the spiritual flames, which activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword; this is merely an external force.

Currently, the Golden Eyes is of a higher grade than the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

He has been able to unleash a divine soul domain at the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator without relying on other means of fusion.

He could clearly feel the power of this domain; it could easily shatter his original divine soul dharma form.

However, he soon felt that his divine soul was being consumed rapidly.

The Divine Soul Domain was not a domain he had comprehended on his own, and its consumption was extremely astonishing.

He immediately stopped stimulating the Golden Eye.

The surrounding golden soul domain dissipated.

Zhou Ling immediately felt a significant weakening of his soul.

"With the Nine Profound Patterns, although it can activate the Divine Soul Domain and condense the Domain Dharma Image, the consumption is still too much."

"Fortunately, he has talent, so he should be able to maintain it for some time."

"However, unless absolutely necessary, there is no need to activate this Golden Eye Domain."

"After all, this consumption is really astonishing and will put a huge burden on the sea of ​​consciousness. If you are not careful, it may cause injury to the little soul."

Zhou Ling's eyes flickered as he pondered to himself.

After fusing with the Nine Profound Patterns, he had gained complete control over the Golden Eye.

"Using the Golden Eye Domain in this way should be enough to deal with early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Moreover, the Golden Eye Domain also possesses various domain-specific supernatural abilities, which, when combined with its own Dharma Aspect supernatural abilities, can further enhance its combat power."

Zhou Ling touched his chin, a relaxed expression on his face.

He was confident that as long as his Golden Eyes could unleash 60% of its power, he could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.

It can even condense the divine soul domain, so it won't be at a disadvantage even when facing a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"The Nine Mysterious Patterns also have two other attributes: sealing and transformation!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

The sealing technique can seal not only the opponent's soul, but also their magic power, dharma form, and domain.

After experiencing the amplification effect, Zhou Ling was able to roughly estimate the power of the seal.

The power of this technique should be around 60% for early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, enough to seal them for about three or four breaths. As for mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, it might only have 30-40% of its effect, sealing them for one or two breaths.

It's not very useful in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

As for the Nascent Soul stage, it is sufficient to directly seal it.

The third function is transformation, which is to convert the soul power in the Golden Eye into one's own soul power for use.

After all, the Golden Eye can absorb and devour the souls of all other things.

After being absorbed, a portion of it was also able to be returned to Zhou Ling.

But the effect is only about half.

Therefore, Zhou Ling chose this Transformation Seal to accelerate the transformation effect.

This not only accelerates the improvement of cultivation, but also quickly restores the consumed divine soul.

After briefly experimenting with controlling the changes in his golden eye, Zhou Ling took out a pill, swallowed it, and began to recover.

······.

A few more days passed.

The Immortal City of Fujian, the City Lord's Mansion.

"There are only five days left in this competition!"

"This time, there should be no suspense about winning."

Zhou Ling took a sip of tea, his gaze sweeping over the jade tablet.

The points on the jade plaque.

He still ranks first with 35,000 points.

Liu Zhengshang, who came in second, had 14,000.

The two people behind him earned a little over ten thousand.

There is still a significant gap between them and themselves.

With little time left, he believed he had enough to win first place in the competition.

In addition, the training of the Xuanjia Army of the Eight Fujian Immortal City is also a point of strength.

He believes that this level is definitely not low.

After all, it was with the help of [Advanced Observation] that the Xuanjia Army's various battle formations were improved, resulting in a significant increase in the Xuanjia Army's strength.

"However, we still need to be wary of Liu Zhengshang."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

He had already experienced firsthand the methods of the Liu family.

Liu Zhengjia went to great lengths to ambush him in Yunhai Immortal City.

Liu Zhengshang, of course, was not going to willingly admit defeat.

Finally, taking a risky gamble and turning against oneself is a very real possibility.

Of course, I can leave the virtual world now, which will ensure my absolute safety.

However, he didn't want to waste the remaining five days.

After all, cultivating profound runes here yields immediate results.

He couldn't take these books on mystical runes that he had acquired with him when he left the Void Realm.

Therefore, I can only memorize it all and practice it slowly later.

At the same time, if Liu Zhengshang really made a move, he also wanted to test the power of this Golden Eye Divine Soul Domain.
Although Liu Zhengshang's spiritual cultivation was not low, his golden eyes, which had been fused with the Nine Profound Patterns, also had a unique advantage in this void realm.

In this situation, he also wanted to give it a try and see how it went.
If they can't defeat Liu Zhengshang, they can use other methods, such as the Soul-Devouring Flame, to escape.

"If there is an opportunity, it would be best to kill Liu Zhengshang directly."

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed.

He was still extremely wary of the Liu family's power.

Being able to eliminate a Nascent Soul cultivator would be a significant weakening of them.

Although they each had a jade pendant in their hands.

Encountering danger can activate the jade tablet, allowing direct teleportation away from the void realm.
However, he possesses the Golden Eye Soul Weapon, and once trapped, it won't be so easy for him to leave the Void Realm.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling was not afraid of Liu Zhengshang, but rather looked forward to it.

The next day.

"Reporting to the city lord, Commander Wu just sent word that they have been attacked by pirates and are requesting reinforcements."

A soldier in black armor entered the hall and respectfully reported to Zhou Ling.

In recent days, Wu Jia has been leading the Xuanjia Army to wipe out the evil spirits that escaped from the last battle.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Do you know where these pirates came from?"

With Wu Jia's strength, how could ordinary pirates be a match for him?

This matter left him somewhat puzzled.

"Lord of the city, I don't know either."

“There are few pirates in the waters of our Fujian Immortal City; most of them come from other sea areas.”

The soldier reported.

"Then let's go see who this person is?"

Zhou Ling waved his hand and said.

With only a few days left before the competition ended, he planned to focus on cultivating his profound runes at the city lord's mansion.

I never expected something like this to happen.

The Xuanjia Army, whose performance evaluation points were at stake, would definitely step in to help.

The Xuanjia Army is now disciplined and quickly made preparations upon Zhou Ling's order.

When Zhou Ling arrived at the port, fifty elite Xuanjia soldiers had already boarded the Five Elements Warship and were waiting for him.

Zhou Ling immediately ordered his men to head to the area where the incident occurred and rescue Wu Jia.

The warships then left the port.

The warships are connected by a mysterious disc, which can accurately sense each other's direction.

A deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army piloted a warship, heading towards the direction of the Thunder Warship.

Zhou Ling stood solemnly at the bow of the ship, looking at the vast sea. After more than a quarter of an hour of rapid sailing, he gradually saw the warships appearing on the sea not far away.

At this moment, on the calm sea, Wu Jia's Thunder Warship was being surrounded by several small wooden boats.

These wooden boats looked different in shape, including two second-tier warships, which were clearly stolen from the government.

On the wooden boat, many pirates, dressed in simple clothes, some even bare-chested, and carrying weapons, were leaping towards the Thunder Warship.

The Xuanjia Army on the warships suffered repeated defeats.

Although these pirates were not as strong as the Xuanjia Army, they were numerous and fearless.

Attacks from all directions.

This caused the Xuanjia Army on the ship to be overwhelmed.

Wu Jia was entangled by two pirate leaders who were quite powerful.

"Lord, these are pirates from Huludao. They are powerful and have always ruled the outer seas, rarely venturing into the inner seas."

Beside him, Clerk Lu reminded Zhou Ling.

"Since they dare to be so arrogant, then we'll take them all down with them."

Zhou Lingli shouted.

"Black Armored Army, kill them!"

He immediately gave the order for the Five Elements Warships to launch an attack.

Rumble!
As they drew closer, a massive flame from the Five Elements Warship hurtled towards a wooden boat.

The wooden boat was instantly blown apart.

The pirates on the wooden boat screamed and fell into the sea.

"Kill them all! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Upon seeing Zhou Ling and the others arrive, Wu Jia swung his sword repeatedly and shouted loudly.

The Xuanjia soldiers on the Thunder Warship were also greatly encouraged, brandishing their weapons and charging towards the pirates.

The pirates panicked when they saw the arrival of the Xuanjia Army, and their wooden boats turned around to meet the Five Elements Warships.

Their wooden boats were not as powerful as the Five Elements Warships.

Although it can also form magic arrays for attack, its power is limited.

"Who?"

On the warship, just as Zhou Ling was about to use his magic to kill the pirates, a sudden sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

A massive black handprint suddenly condensed in the air, then rapidly grew larger, instantly resembling a colossal mountain.

They bombarded the Five Elements Warship.

Its power was extremely terrifying; even from a distance in the air, it stirred up towering waves. (End of Chapter)
