Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"This kid was completely unharmed under such a powerful lightning tribulation."

Meng Sishou looked at Zhou Ling, who had just landed on the ground, and said with considerable surprise.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the terrifying power of the lightning tribulation just now.

Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, if able to withstand the subsequent triple tribulation of rule lightning, would likely suffer a severe blow.

However, considering that Zhou Ling originally possessed the ability to kill fifth-tier alien races, he understood.

"Liu Sidao has already left, let's retreat too!"

Lin Zegong turned his gaze away from the distance and smiled at Chief Meng.

"This time, the Liu family managed to swallow their anger and not make a move?"

Meng Sishou's gaze swept over them, and his tone was quite surprised.

After all, with Liu Sidao's cultivation level, he still had quite a few opportunities to interfere with Zhou Ling.

"They probably have other ideas."

Lin Zegong said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Meng Si nodded. "The Star Glory Legion now has quite a few cultivators from the Purple Cloud Sect and the Liu family. It won't be so easy for Zhou Ling to gain a foothold."

"However, these are also things he has to face. Only by having enough prestige in the Xuanjun Division can he advance further in the future."

He was naturally aware of the situation regarding the Xuanjun Division.

This presents an opportunity to weaken the Liu family.

This was also an opportunity for Zhou Ling to establish his prestige in the army.

Whether Zhou Ling can seize the opportunity depends on his abilities.

Then, the two quietly left.

"Congratulations, my husband, on successfully entering the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Congratulations, my husband, on becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Congratulations, Patriarch, on successfully forming your Nascent Soul!"

People in the family square congratulated Zhou Ling.

"well!"

Zhou Ling laughed heartily.

Upon entering the Nascent Soul realm, his entire being exuded a different aura, and every gesture he made was vastly different.

Li Ru and Zhou Shan were so excited they couldn't speak.

I never imagined that my son would become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Ling'er, you just went through the tribulation too quickly. Go back and consolidate your cultivation to avoid instability."

At this moment, Zhou Ling heard the voice transmission from Fairy Zi Ling.

"Yes, Master."

Zhou Ling replied telepathically.

Now, both the magical power and the rules within my body are vastly different from before, so naturally I need to properly consume and stabilize them.

Moreover, since he was a dual Nascent Soul cultivator, he needed to be even more cautious.

"Father, Mother, Xin'er, Qingshang, Yijie, you should all go back."

"I'll go to the training room first to consolidate my strength."

Zhou Ling glanced at his parents and wife, and then spoke.

Li Ru and the others nodded, knowing that Zhou Ling needed to stabilize his cultivation level at the moment.

Zhou Ling then headed towards the training room.

The Zhou family cultivators around him, such as Yuan Hu and He Zijian, looked at Zhou Ling with admiration in their eyes.

"Sister Yi, can you tell what kind of Nascent Soul your husband has?"

Wang Xin couldn't help but ask Gong Yi.

She is currently at the early stage of the Golden Core realm and could feel the terror of the lightning tribulation just now, but she could not determine what quality of Nascent Soul Zhou Ling had condensed.

"Given the power of my husband's tribulation lightning, he must be a Heavenly-grade Nascent Soul cultivator."

Gong Yi replied with absolute certainty.

She had only condensed a low-level Nascent Soul at the beginning.

However, Zhou Ling faced a lightning tribulation that was several times stronger than hers.

Once this is successfully overcome, the rewards from heaven and earth will be several times greater, so it can be confirmed that Zhou Ling must be a Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul cultivator.

"A Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xin and Li Ru were both pleasantly surprised.

"Ling'er has not only entered the Nascent Soul stage, but she is also a Heavenly Grade Nascent Soul cultivator. Our Zhou family ancestors have shown their power."

Zhou Shan said with some excitement.

Congratulations, Brother Zhou!

"Congratulations, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou!"

Chu Xing, Yuan Hu, and others also came over to congratulate them.

······
Upon entering the meditation room, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged in meditation.

He was sensing the powerful rule-based power released by the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

As he carefully comprehended the energy within him, he noticed that a large amount of spiritual energy had crystallized. Compared to before, he felt it was more than ten times stronger, a truly enormous difference.

Moreover, the rules they comprehend are completely different; the rules for the Golden Core realm are merely basic introductory rules.

It only uses the power of rules that it has comprehended and mastered, so its power is limited.

Upon entering the Nascent Soul realm, the number of rules one comprehends and controls increases significantly, and another notable change is the ability to resonate with the surrounding rules of heaven and earth.

This greatly increases the power of its own rules.

Now, he felt as if he could mobilize the power of the rules surrounding him with ease.

This feeling is something that Golden Core cultivators completely lack.

The higher the quality of his Nascent Soul, the more powerful the rules he can mobilize.

"As expected, there is still a huge gap between the Dharma Image formed at the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Feeling the power of the rules within his body, Zhou Ling gained a deeper understanding of the subtlety of his own Dharma Aspect Divine Power.

There is a kind of energy that governs the vastness and order of heaven and earth.

This is something he didn't have before.

Once integrated into the Dharma form, its power is greatly different.

As for the rules he originally used to unleash Dharma attacks, they were mainly rules absorbed by his talent.

"The Five Elements Nascent Soul controls the mysterious rules of the Five Elements."

"The Thunder Nascent Soul is a powerful Thunder Rule."

Zhou Ling could sense that within his Qi Sea, the two lifelike and vivid Nascent Souls were emanating a powerful aura of rules.

Especially the two Nascent Soul cultivators, who absorbed a large amount of Heavenly Tribulation rules, plus the feedback from the rules they received.

Its rules of integration are more than ten times those of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Upon entering the Nascent Soul realm, the rules determine the strength of one's combat power.

The more rules one masters, the more adept one becomes at mobilizing one's own magical power and the power of heaven and earth.

The two are more integrated and therefore more powerful.

Furthermore, the pure Yang energy of the Five Elements that is condensed will have an even more powerful effect. It can not only assist in passing through the tribulation of lightning, but also heal injuries and assist in alchemy.

Of course, the most important factor is the significant improvement in its own combat strength.

"With the rules and magic power I currently control, I can activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword. Even if I only unleash 60% of its power, I can still contend with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

"If we can also use the Spirit Flame, victory will be assured."

Zhou Ling's lips curled up, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

Entering the Nascent Soul realm, especially with dual Nascent Souls, boosted his cultivation and combat power several times over.

Even when facing ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he is very confident of victory as long as he uses the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

There is also the aspect of the soul, but since he had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The increase was limited this time, but the soul was purified by the lightning tribulation, making it twice as pure, which is also a huge boost to one's combat power.

Controlling the Golden Eye was noticeably easier.

"With his current spiritual cultivation, the combat power he can unleash by controlling the Golden Eye is even stronger than that of the Sun Immortal Sword, enough to deal with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

A smile appeared on Zhou Ling's face.

However, using the Golden Eye consumes a great deal of the soul, unless it is a matter of life and death.

There's no need for that.

The soul attack condensed from the Three Pure Ones' Dharma forms is more than enough.

Zhou Ling was extremely satisfied with his current cultivation level.

This gave him enough confidence to go to the Xuanjun Division later.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be beaten into submission.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling continued to consolidate his cultivation.

The two nascent souls shimmered with the light of the Five Elements and the light of thunder.

It cleanses his magic power, physical body, meridians, and soul, making them increasingly pure and profound.

Half a month later, in the cultivation room, Zhou Ling opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and vast, like the starlight and moonlight, mysterious and unpredictable.

At this moment, his cultivation was completely consolidated.

His cultivation level increased dramatically, and almost all of his magical power was transformed into crystallized magical power, which was extremely pure. At the same time, his physical body reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank under the baptism of the lightning tribulation.

His divine soul had reached 26,000 zhang, but it was still several thousand zhang shorter than the divine soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A single tribulation of lightning allowed him to transcend a realm, resulting in a seven- or eight-fold increase in his overall strength.

"The Five Spirit Flames, Golden Eyes, and Sunlit Immortal Sword have also seen significant improvements!"

"Five Elements Thunder Body is no less than innate physique."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Because these are his most cherished possessions.

As his understanding of the rules improved, these innate items also improved.

The only difference is the extent of their improvement.

Immediately, Zhou Ling's mind stirred, and five beams of spiritual light shone in front of him.

Five spiritual flames condensed and emerged.

Surrounding him were various shapes and incredibly mysterious forms.

"They've all reached the mid-grade fifth rank! This upgrade is fantastic!"

Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

Previously, the Blazing Sun Flame was already a mid-grade fifth-order flame. This time, it did not break through to the high-grade, but it was not far off.

In addition, the other four spiritual flames have also shown significant improvement.

Similarly, the spiritual flame divine power that is condensed will also be enhanced.

The upgrades to the Sunlit Immortal Sword and the Golden Eye were not significant; they remained at their original grade.

But its power will definitely increase.

Zhou Ling was extremely satisfied with the results.

After all, these are fifth-grade superior and top-grade treasures, and it would be extremely difficult to upgrade them again.

Even the slightest improvement is hard-won.

Immediately, with a thought, he sent the five spiritual flames back into his body.

Within the Qi Sea, two nascent souls revolved around each other.

"Going to the Xuanjun Division next should be enough to handle it."

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

From what we know, the commanders of the three major battle camps of the Star Glory Legion are all early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The leaders are those at the late or peak Nascent Soul stage.

Of these three commanders, one was from the Zixiao Sect, and the other two were also cultivators from aristocratic families who were on good terms with the Liu family.

Therefore, if I want to take control of the Star Glory Legion, I definitely need to replace these three people.

But how do I change it?

Replacing them won't cause a significant drop in the legion's strength.

These are all things that need to be considered carefully.

I currently have no Nascent Soul cultivators to replace these positions.

Moreover, the Xuanjun Division cannot be replaced so easily.

It requires real military achievements.

Those who reach this position will accumulate a considerable number of military merits.

The minimum is 100,000.

It can be said that they all earned their success through their own abilities.

Therefore, finding a suitable replacement in a short period of time is not so easy.

One must have both sufficient strength and military merit.

The key is that it must be someone you trust.

"Senior Chen is a good candidate, but he is doing well in the Inspection Division and may not be willing to come to the Xuanjun Division."

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed, and he thought of Chen Zhenglei.

Chen Zhenglei is a perfect match in every way.

However, getting him transferred from the Inspection Division will not be so easy.

"If that doesn't work, you can consider it, Guest Master Ji."

Zhou Ling then thought of Ji Siqing.

Ji Siqing's main task is to refine warships, so sending him to the Xuanjun Division would not be a suitable choice.

However, since no one else could be found at the moment, we had no choice but to make do.

Of course, the specific details will be decided upon at the Xuanjun Division.

Getting these three presidents to resign won't be so easy.

Immediately, Zhou Ling got up and left the cultivation room.

"father!"

"father!"

Two childish voices rang out from inside the courtyard.

Upon seeing Zhou Ling, Chen Ying'er and Chen An both ran towards him.

Wang Xin followed behind the two children with a smile on her face.

Zhou Ling bent down and picked up the two children, one in each arm.

"Congratulations husband!"

Wang Xin congratulated Zhou Ling, her eyes filled with admiration.

Zhou Ling smiled and nodded. Over the years, his wife's gaze towards him had never changed.

He immediately asked, "Father, where are Mother and the others?"

He naturally wanted to share this joyous occasion with his family.

"These days, your mother has been busy brewing osmanthus wine to prepare for your upcoming Nascent Soul celebration."

"My father also helps out at the distillery."

Wang Xin said.

"Nascent Soul Celebration!"

"I almost forgot about that!"

Zhou Ling smiled.

I was so focused on the upcoming matters concerning the Xuanjun Division that I hadn't thought about the celebration.

Originally, becoming the head of the Xuanjun Division should have been a cause for celebration.

However, considering the Liu family's influence, Zhou Ling chose to keep a low profile.

Now that they have successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm, a celebration is naturally in order.

In Tianxia Immortal City, these relationships still need to be maintained.

I also want to thank the people who protected me this time.

He knew in his heart that the fact that he was able to pass through the tribulation so smoothly this time was definitely not only because his master was protecting him.

Otherwise, how could Old Ancestor Liu and the Liu family head have let such an opportunity pass by?

As long as you fight your master and stir up the spiritual energy of Ziyun Mountain, it will have a huge impact on you.

Zhou Ling then brought his child and wife into the hall.

Soon after, Gong Yi, Wang Qingshang, and Li Ru and his wife also arrived.

The whole family was happy and harmonious, and everyone knew that Zhou Ling had entered the Nascent Soul realm.

The Zhou family's position in Tianxia Immortal City will become increasingly secure in the future.

"Ling'er, when is this Nascent Soul Ceremony scheduled to take place?"

Zhou Shan asked his son.

"Father, Mother, please choose an auspicious day according to the Chinese almanac. Whichever day is suitable, that's the day we'll choose."

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

I know my father is concerned about his image.

Let him handle this kind of thing.

"Alright, five days from now is an auspicious day, and we will hold a celebration for you."

Zhou Shan said with a smile.

The couple had already planned out the dates for this month.

"it is good!"

Zhou Ling nodded.

“My husband, I have already told the Wang family about your successful entry into the Nascent Soul stage, and the clan has already sent people to congratulate you.”

Wang Qingshang spoke up.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony is an extremely important event for Nascent Soul cultivators, and Wang Qingshang had made preparations for it long ago.

The Wang family is far from Tianxia Immortal City, so it is natural to notify them as soon as possible.

Hearing his wife's words, Zhou Ling's heart stirred. The Wang family now has three Nascent Soul cultivators, so they could expect to be given the position of Grand Commander of the Xuan Army Division.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed carefully with my father-in-law.

After all, this kind of thing involves more than just one powerful family; it requires careful planning.

But the Wang family is also a very suitable ally at the moment; it just depends on whether they are willing to take it. (End of Chapter)
