Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"This kid's physical body is actually no worse than his divine soul!"

Outside Ziyun Mountain, Chief Meng looked surprised.

He knew that Zhou Ling's spiritual cultivation was not low, but there were very few records of him using his physical body.

But judging from his ability to withstand the lightning tribulation one after another, he has at least reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank, or even higher.

"With fourth-level body refinement, nascent soul, and the Sun-Shining Immortal Sword, this nascent soul tribulation is not difficult for him."

"Only someone with such talent and cultivation is qualified to become the next leader of our Dao Alliance."

Lin Zegong said with a look of approval.

"Zegong, do you think it's too early for him to become the leader of the Dao Alliance with his current strength?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Meng pondered for a moment before speaking.

After all, the current successors of the Dao Alliance are all at least at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

They were mostly over two hundred years old.

Zhou Ling was trained by them as the third generation of chief.

However, Zhou Ling's current strength and military achievements are enough to advance him further.

"He was already capable of killing fifth-tier alien races, even with the help of the Sunlit Immortal Sword. But after surviving the tribulation, his strength will undoubtedly increase significantly, making him fully qualified in this regard."

"However, they lack experience."

Lin Zegong said solemnly.

"Well, he's going to the Xuanjun Division for a period of training now. Once he's gained experience and established his own foundation, we'll see how things go then."

Meng Si nodded and said.

The relationships within the Dao Alliance are complex and intertwined. In addition to personal strength, one must also have a solid foundation to balance the affairs of all parties.

In this respect, Zhou Ling is clearly still lacking.

Going to the Xuanjun Division is a good opportunity to make up for his shortcomings in this area.

Neither of them said anything more, and their gazes turned to Zhou Ling in the air.

There are three more lightning tribulations with rule attributes following, and their power is much stronger than the previous six lightning tribulations.

They were also curious about how Zhou Ling would respond.

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away in the void between the two of them.

The two powerful figures from the Liu family had extremely gloomy expressions.

Old Ancestor Liu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, all cultivators of my Zixiao Sect in the Xuanjun Division must find a way to kill this brat."

With his cultivation level, he could naturally see Zhou Ling's terrifying strength in blocking six lightning tribulations with his physical body.

Before this, he already possessed the strength to deal with fifth-tier alien races.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul realm, your cultivation will definitely double, and your combat power will become even more terrifying.

With such strength, even within the Liu family, only he and Liu Zhenglong could suppress him.

Given the current state of the Liu family, if the two of them were to make a move, they would undoubtedly be able to kill the Liu family in one strike.

Otherwise, Chief Meng and the others would definitely have made a move.

Other high-ranking members of the Dao Alliance wouldn't interfere.

He alone is no match for Chief Meng.

Moreover, there was Lin Zhenggong, whom he also feared.

Therefore, the best course of action right now is to use the Xuanjun Division to kill Zhou Ling.

We absolutely cannot allow him to grow up.

Otherwise, in another ten years or so, no one will be able to control him.

"Yes, old man."

The head of the Liu family nodded in reply.

Liu Zhengsheng has served as the head of the Xuanjun Division for many years, and one-third of the commanders of the Xuanjun Division's Star Glory Legion are people of their own strength.

If Zhou Ling goes to the Star Glory Legion, he's just courting death.

······.

In the void, lightning transformed into a rolling sea of ​​lightning, seemingly boundless.

Zhou Ling, on the other hand, felt completely at ease, allowing the lightning tribulation to cleanse his physical body.

Several years ago, his physical body had already reached the fourth level, which was enough to withstand these heavenly lightning strikes.

Moreover, they can use their talent to continuously absorb the power of creation from the heavens and earth during the tribulation.

This is a rule that cultivators can never master.

This will be of great help to his physical body.

If he absorbs more, his acquired Five Elements Thunder Body might even surpass those with innate physiques.

"The last three elemental lightning bolts!"

Zhou Ling's gaze sharpened as he watched the roaring thunder.

The first six bolts of heavenly lightning were quite powerful, but they posed no threat to him.

However, the following tribulation is a lightning tribulation of elemental power, which will greatly increase its strength.

Moreover, the heavenly tribulation will vary and intensify according to the cultivator's own situation.

"Rumble"

In the blink of an eye, five violent vortexes condensed in the thunderclouds in the sky.

Each vortex flickered with mysterious five-colored spiritual light.

This is the power of the Five Elements.

Five-colored lightning surged within the vortex, making it too dangerous to look directly at.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling moved his mind, and five swords of different colors flew out and hovered in front of him.

"They didn't even use the Sunlit Immortal Sword!"

Many people exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the five swords.

After all, everyone knows that Zhou Ling's greatest strength lies in activating the Sunfire Immortal Sword with the help of the Spirit Flame.

At this critical moment, Zhou Ling actually abandoned the Sunlit Immortal Sword and used the Five Elements Sword instead.
However, people quickly understood Zhou Ling's intentions.

After all, the lightning tribulation is based on the attributes of the one undergoing the tribulation, and the lightning strikes are suppressive.

Zhou Ling's condensation of the Five Elements Sword leaves no room for error.

He can choose to attack with the element that counters any of the rule-based lightning strikes.

It is clearly more reasonable than choosing the Sunlit Sword.

After all, with Zhou Ling's cultivation level, how many times could he activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword?

Rumble!
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the seventh lightning bolt struck down.

This power is clearly more violent than the previous six lightning tribulations.

Amidst the thunderous roar, five vortexes of spiritual light flashed violently.

In the blink of an eye, flames and lightning surged from the fourth vortex, roaring outwards.

The entire void was rendered as a fiery cloud.

An incredibly powerful pressure rolled down.

It was like a fire dragon carrying endless thunder.

The first elemental lightning bolt, fire lightning, struck Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling remained calm as he watched the rolling fire and thunder.

With a thought, the Five Elements Swords swirled and intertwined in front of him like five-colored fish.

As the five-colored sword light flashed, it condensed into a five-colored sword net.

Immediately from within the sword net, a giant flaming sword hurtled towards the thunder dragon.

Zhou Ling did not choose the water-attribute sword energy that could counter fire and lightning.

Instead, he directly unleashed a fire-attribute sword aura attack.

From his [Advanced Observation], he could tell that this lightning tribulation posed little threat to him.

Therefore, he directly chose fire-attribute sword energy, both to resist it and to absorb the fire attribute rules within it.

Enhance your Five Elements Sword Heart.

"Why is it a fire-attribute sword aura instead of a water-attribute one?"

People seemed to find it somewhat difficult to understand.

The five elements interact with each other, so using water-attribute sword energy at this moment will undoubtedly be twice as effective.

It not only greatly suppresses the Fire Thunder Dragon, but also reduces its own energy consumption.

However, Zhou Ling chose to use fire-attribute sword energy, indicating his intention to confront the heavenly lightning head-on.

This clearly demonstrates a great deal of confidence in one's own abilities.

A blazing sword aura shot towards the sky.

Wherever it swept, the thunderclouds collapsed with a roar.

"Boom!"

The blazing giant sword and the fiery thunder dragon clashed violently, like meteors from outer space colliding.

The enormous fire dragon's flames and lightning shattered.

The powerful and violent fire-attribute lightning tribulation appeared utterly vulnerable under Zhou Ling's sword energy attack.

As the Fire Dragon was defeated, the third vortex of lightning energy surged wildly.

A chilling light swept out, instantly transforming the sky, which had been ablaze with flames, into a frozen wasteland.

Ice crystals condensed and formed, like crystal swords, sweeping out across the sky.

Countless ice crystals were layered upon each other, densely packed, and innumerable.

Each strike was almost as powerful as an attack from a Golden Core cultivator.

It was as if stars in the sky had suddenly exploded and crashed down. Accompanied by endless lightning, it swept across the sky and struck down towards Zhou Ling.

"Its power is more than twice as strong."

Seeing this, Zhou Ling's gaze sharpened.

This lightning tribulation attack is powerful enough to reach the late Nascent Soul stage.

He dared not be careless in the slightest, and with a thought...

The five elements of sword energy intertwined, condensing into a five-element sword net, which then blasted out.

In an instant, it transformed into a sword net several tens of feet in diameter.

Click, click, click!

The crystal lightning bolts hurtling down were continuously shattered within the sword net.

It vanished in the form of lightning.

Thunder and water elements vanished into nothingness.

After several breaths, the crystal lightning in the air completely dissipated.

Zhou Ling survived the second tribulation of rule lightning.

Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.

Zhou Ling's speed is terrifyingly fast.

It was a completely overwhelming tribulation.

The next moment, the entire void condensed into a dazzling crimson-gold color.

The last bolt of golden lightning stopped in an instant.

Countless golden lights roared forth from the first golden lightning vortex.

These golden rays shot out like golden swords.

Streaks of golden light shone brightly, exuding a sharp and intimidating aura.

They intertwined and coalesced in the air, instantly transforming into a giant golden sword hundreds of feet long.

"Metal-attribute lightning tribulation!"

Zhou Ling narrowed his eyes.

This metal-attribute lightning tribulation was almost twice as powerful as the water-attribute lightning tribulation from before.

If we were to use the Five Elements Sword Formation to fight back, it would be quite dangerous.

"The Sunlight Immortal Sword comes out!"

Zhou Ling stared at the rolling golden lightning, his face showing no fear.

With the [Five Elements Thunder Gang] talent, he rapidly absorbed the power of the laws of heaven and earth contained within the thunder tribulation.

Then, a golden light shone brightly in front of him.

The Sunlit Immortal Sword hovered in front of him, while the Five Elements Sword transformed into five beams of spiritual light and returned to his body.

At this moment, the golden greatsword had not yet completely struck down.

But the roaring golden lightning was dazzling, and the entire void was dyed into a golden sun.

The Five Elements Haoyang Sword Heart shone brightly within Zhou Ling's body.

A burst of golden sword energy roared out from the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

In the blink of an eye, a sword aura over a hundred feet long condensed.

This is the sword energy that Zhou Ling condensed using his own sword heart.

This was also the first time he truly relied on his own strength to activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Originally, the Sunlit Immortal Sword could only be activated by the Five Elements Spirit Flame.

However, as his swordsmanship improved, and with the addition of mystical runes to the Sunlit Immortal Sword, he was able to achieve his goals.

This makes it easier for him to control.

Of course, the Sun Sword Qi at this moment was far less powerful than when it was activated by the Spirit Flame.

With his current strength, he is not yet able to fully activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

But that's enough to deal with this tribulation of lightning.

On the Zhou family square, members of the Zhou family watched this scene with solemn expressions.

Once Zhou Ling survives this ordeal, he will become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Li Ru was so nervous that her mouth went dry.

Even the usually composed Wang Qingshang and Gong Yi were too nervous to speak.

After all, the tribulation lightning Zhou Ling faced this time far exceeded the power of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even the first six ordinary lightning tribulations could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator on the spot.

"Boom!"

Two giant golden swords slammed into the air, instantly unleashing endless golden sword energy.

The golden sword energy between them kept exploding and annihilating.

However, the sword energy of the Sunlit Immortal Sword soon became unable to hold on.

Under the fierce bombardment of the lightning tribulation giant sword, it continuously disintegrated.

With Zhou Ling's current strength, he is not yet able to control the Sunlit Immortal Sword for an extended period of time.

At the same time, the power of the golden lightning was also reduced by half.

But its power is still astonishing.

Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, it hurtled towards Zhou Ling with unstoppable force.

It still contains terrifying power enough to kill someone in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"The bright sun burns the sky and its flames fall!"

Zhou Ling shouted.

I originally thought there was no need to use the spirit flame.

However, the energy expenditure is considerable at this moment, and we can only rely on the Spirit Flame.

Suddenly, the golden flames on the Sunlit Immortal Sword burst forth, surging and intertwining.

In an instant, a giant flaming sword over a hundred feet long slashed towards the lightning.

Rumble!
A deafening roar erupted and lingered for a long time.

"My husband is ready!"

Gong Yi shouted excitedly in Zhoujia Square.

Her lower abdomen was already noticeably protruding, but she was so excited that she almost jumped up like a child.

Because they are high in the sky, those with lower cultivation levels cannot see the specific situation clearly.

Upon hearing Gong Yi's words, Li Ru hurriedly asked, "Wife, Ling'er is done!"

"Yes, my husband has successfully survived the tribulation and is currently receiving feedback from the rules of heaven and earth!"

Gong Yi nodded and said.

"Great!"

Li Ru's face showed excitement.

"Haha, my Zhou family has produced a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Zhou Shan was also overjoyed.

"It's done. The patriarch has become a Nascent Soul expert."

"This Nascent Soul tribulation is truly terrifying! Patriarch, you must be a Heaven-grade Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Master has finally become a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Excited voices rang out from Ziyun Mountain.

Everyone knows Zhou Ling is very strong, but the news they hear is all about how he killed alien races.

But hearing is believing; now we are truly witnessing Zhou Ling's power.

The attack of these nine lightning bolts was comparable to that of nine fourth-tier alien races.

But they got through it safely in just over an hour.

The sheer terror of this combat power reveals the depth of its foundation.

In the void, the lightning tribulation dissipated, and Zhou Ling was enveloped by a mysterious cloud.

These are auspicious clouds formed by the power of heaven and earth.

He successfully broke through to a higher realm and is now experiencing the feedback from the rules of heaven and earth.

A surge of mysterious energy flowed into his body.

A quarter of an hour later, the strange phenomena in the sky gradually dissipated.

"Two Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Feeling the condition within his body, Zhou Ling's face showed excitement.

Two golden infants, each about two inches in size, have actually condensed within his own Qi Sea.

His body exuded a mysterious aura, like a layer of mysterious light, making him incomparably sacred.

Zhou Ling felt that this mysterious power was much stronger than his original self.

Conservatively speaking, their strength is at least five times what they were before.

"The Five Elements Nascent Soul and the Thunder Attribute Nascent Soul! They are quite compatible with my original two Golden Cores."

Sensing the condition of the Nascent Soul, Zhou Ling pondered to himself.

This is something I can call unique.

After all, there has never been a record of a cultivator with two Nascent Souls in the Dao Alliance's records.

Without further thought, he quickly landed on the ground. (End of Chapter)
