Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"Returning to the leader and supporting the Sword Qi Great Wall has always been the responsibility of the Star Breaking Camp."

"My Swift Dragon Battalion and Golden Knife Battalion are more responsible for exploring star fields."

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, Qi Heng spoke up.

"To take the lead, that's what I mean too."

Wan Yang said indifferently.

After Zhou Ling crippled Gu Zhantian, the two of them dared not look down on Zhou Ling in the slightest.

Furthermore, they reached a private agreement that they would work together to stand against Zhou Ling.

"Really."

Zhou Ling glanced at the two of them and said calmly.

Having just taken over the Star Breaking Camp, the external impact is considerable.

After all, the elimination of four high-ranking members of the Breaking Star Camp in one fell swoop would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Camp's combat strength.

If they were to target Qi Heng and the other two, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Moreover, I don't have many people I can use right now.

If we want to get rid of Qi Heng and the other two from the Star Glory Legion, we still need to take it slowly.

Of course, he could also see that the two of them were trying to trip him up.

After all, if the Star Breaking Camp were to participate in this battle...

If they are defeated, they will have a reason to say that they crippled Gu Zhantian and others.

He also practiced nepotism in his appointments.

There will definitely be some people pointing fingers at me then.

He might not be able to keep his position as the leader.

Of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to completely control the Star Breaking Camp.

After all, there are still quite a few Zixiao Sect cultivators in the Poxing Camp.

It's impossible to clear them out of the Star Breaking Camp for no reason.

Also, let's see how capable He Zijian and his men are at leading troops.
Their current positions and each person's abilities must be guaranteed.

The Great Wall of Sword Qi is undoubtedly a good place for trials.

After all, he still had some connections within the Sword Qi Great Wall.

"This is the expansion of the Sword Qi Great Wall, which is of great importance to the Dao Alliance. The entire Star Glory Legion will participate."

"Once the Star Ring Defense can be established, the threat posed by the alien races in the Star Sea will be reduced by more than half."

Zhou Ling glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Ling said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng and Wan Yang exchanged glances, finding it difficult to find an excuse to refute Zhou Ling's statement.

After all, expanding the Sword Qi Great Wall Star Ring has been a plan of the Dao Alliance for many years.

However, they were always at a disadvantage in terms of strength and were unable to complete the task.

The reason why the Star Ring was able to be expanded smoothly this time is said to be due to Zhou Ling's merit in the battle back then.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "We accept the order."

They were all worried that Zhou Ling would take the opportunity to weaken their strength.

However, for now, we can only obey orders.

"it is good!"

Zhou Ling nodded.

"Lu Zhizheng, prepare the supplies for this trip to the Sword Qi Great Wall within three days."

"Commander Feng, Commander Qi, and all commanders, gather at the Starshine Army Square in three days and depart for the Sword Qi Great Wall."

He then relayed the orders to the others.

After all, this matter has already been delayed for more than a month, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

"Yes, take the head!"

"Yes, take the head!"

Everyone bowed and replied.

Zhou Ling nodded and told everyone to prepare as soon as possible.

Of course, the most important was the personal guard battalion.

They assumed it was a military camp he had established independently, and that acquiring resources wouldn't be so quick.

Zhou Ling could only mobilize resources from the Zhou family workshop first.

We'll raise as much as we can within three days.

If we can't gather all the necessary items, we can prepare them later.

······.

The Zhou family home was brightly lit at night.

The hall was extremely lively.

Zhou Shan, Li Ru, Wang Yu, Wang Xin, Wang Qingshang, and others were present.

"Ling'er, in three days, you will lead troops to the Sword Qi Great Wall?"

Zhou Shan asked his son.

"Yes, Father."

Zhou Ling nodded in reply.

Not wanting to worry her family, she didn't mention any other details.

"The alien races of the Star Sea are extremely powerful, my husband, you must be careful."

Gong Yi reminded her.

She is now several months pregnant.

Her lower abdomen was noticeably protruding, and she was wearing loose-fitting clothes, which added a touch of lazy charm to her stunningly beautiful face.

She also spent a year at the Sword Qi Great Wall, honing her swordsmanship and learning about the terrifying strength of the alien races in the Star Sea.

"It's alright. This time, the legion is only playing a supporting role, just for training purposes. There won't be much danger."

Zhou Ling took a sip of spiritual tea and said in a relaxed tone.

He was well aware of the strength of the alien race in the Star Sea, but there was no need to worry his family.

When will Uncle Wang Zhong arrive at Tianxia Immortal City?

Zhou Ling then asked Wang Qingshang.

Wang Zhong was personally recommended by him to be the commander of the Breaking Star Camp.

However, various procedures of the Dao Alliance must be completed first.

Fortunately, the Wang family is a family that has been cultivating at the Nascent Soul stage for thousands of years, so there shouldn't be any problems in this regard.

"It should arrive in the next couple of days."

Wang Qingchang replied softly.

Zhou Ling's ability to secure this position for the Wang family has earned the Wang family members' deep gratitude.

Although the Wang family is a family of Nascent Soul cultivators, due to their location in Qingyang Lingzhou, it has always been difficult for them to enter the high-level positions of various departments.

Now, thanks to Zhou Ling, my uncle has successfully become the Grand Commander of the Xuan Army.

Zhou Ling nodded, and then discussed family matters with his wives.

He instructed his family not to leave Ziyun Mountain unless absolutely necessary.

His main concern was the potential retaliation from the Zixiao Sect and the Liu family.

Their territory has now expanded to a radius of several tens of miles, covered by a fifth-order magic array.

With the master and others present, safety is assured.

Knowing that their father was going out again, Zhou Ying'er and Zhou An stayed with him all night.

Zhou Ying'er only went back to sleep after Li Ruxian coaxed Zhou An to sleep.

······.

Three days later.

Within the star field, six enormous warships sped along.

On the deck of each warship stood two or three thousand cultivators.

Each of them was surrounded by black armor, exuding an astonishing aura.

Several figures stood on the deck of the warship ahead.

The leader was indeed Zhou Ling.

Beside him stood a burly, easy-going middle-aged man, Wang Zhong, one of the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wang family, with a Nascent Soul level of three.

His strength is second only to Old Master Wang.

Behind them were Feng Lan, Qi Jianzhi, and others.

"Uncle, what are your thoughts on this trip to the Sword Qi Great Wall?"

Zhou Ling's gaze swept across the vast and dazzling star field as he asked Wang Zhong a question.

In the past two days, Wang Chong's joining the Xuanjun Division has been handled with special care and efficiency.

However, he had many things to do, and Wang Zhong was his elder.

Therefore, Zhou Ling and he did not have any specific communication.

We don't know Wang Zhong's specific temperament.
Now we're asking around to find out more.

Of course, Wang Zhong's quick onboarding also greatly relieved his pressure.

After all, having one more Nascent Soul cultivator would greatly enhance the Star-Breaking Camp's combat power. The reason it's called the Star-Breaking Camp is that its cultivators can form a Star-Breaking Array.

This grand formation requires a Nascent Soul cultivator to control.

Through this period of adjustment, people like Qi Jianzhi have gradually mastered the Star-Breaking Formation.

However, Wang Zhong had just arrived and had not yet had time to participate in the Star Breaking Camp's training.

However, with his cultivation at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, these things wouldn't be difficult for him.

As for the Xiaolong Battalion and the Golden Knife Battalion, Zhou Ling was still somewhat wary of them.

Both of these commanders are allies of the Liu family.

Without Liu Zhengsheng's recommendation, they would not have had the opportunity to become the Grand Commander.

Therefore, we must also guard against the two of them causing trouble at crucial moments.

“Reply to Chief, several decades ago, I also spent ten years at the Sword Qi Great Wall. The situation was much more dangerous then than it is now.”

"The alien races of the stars pose a tremendous threat to us."

"Fortunately, we were able to hold them off thanks to the advantage of the Sword Qi Great Wall."

Wang Zhong spoke slowly to Chen Ling.

But then he changed the subject, saying, "However, building a star ring now is equivalent to us taking the initiative to attack, which is much more dangerous than defending the Sword Qi Great Wall."

"Therefore, we need to be better prepared."

"As for the specifics, we will need to discuss them with the city lords at the Sword Qi Great Wall before we can make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling nodded.

Wang Zhong had been to the Sword Qi Great Wall, which makes things easier.

Moreover, judging from his words, he is quite particular about his methods.

They tend to act more cautiously.

As for the specific details to follow, we still need to discuss them with the city lords of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

The Great Wall of Sword Qi is an independent entity separate from the Xuanjun Division.

Each city lord is equivalent to a legion leader, wielding considerable power.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling discussed the Star-Breaking Array with Wang Zhong.

Qi Jianzhi and the others also explained their own situations.

Wang Zhong was also a knowledgeable person, and he quickly grasped the situation of the Star-Breaking Formation.

Meanwhile, on the third warship behind.

Qi Heng and Wan Yang stood on the deck, their expressions slightly solemn.

"Brother Wan, this battle is probably going to be tough."

"Zhou Ling is ruthless; he might not tolerate us."

Qi Heng said in a deep voice.

"As long as we don't provoke him, would he dare to lay a hand on us?"

Wan Yang's eyes flashed as he spoke.

Judging from Zhou Ling's victory over Gu Zhantian, neither of them would be a match for Zhou Ling.

Therefore, he did not intend to provoke Zhou Ling.

Moreover, he is an extremely pragmatic person.

In the past, the Liu family was very powerful, and relying on them could bring many benefits.

However, with three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Liu family having encountered misfortune in succession, their strength has plummeted.

He certainly wouldn't harm Zhou Ling for the sake of the Liu family.

"To be honest, Brother Wan, Patriarch Liu contacted me a few days ago!"

Qi Heng glanced around and then spoke into his voice.

"Patriarch Liu hopes that I can secretly find an opportunity to take action against Zhou Ling."

"I wonder if Brother Wan would be willing to lend me a hand."

"After the matter is completed, I will give you half of the Liu family's reward."

Upon hearing this, Wan Yang narrowed his eyes, looked at Qi Heng, and replied telepathically, "Brother Qi, this is a matter of life and death, please allow me to consider it carefully."

"Furthermore, our strength may not be a match for Zhou Ling's."

In the last battle, Zhou Ling was able to cripple Gu Zhantian, proving that his strength was much greater than Gu Zhantian's.

However, the strength of the two of them is no match for Gu Zhantian.

Moreover, his relationship with the Liu family was not as close as Qi Heng's.

The Qi family and the Liu family are related by marriage.

"In battles against alien races in the Star Sea, the situation can change in an instant, and we may not necessarily have to take action."

“Sometimes, by remaining inactive, one can put Zhou Ling to death.”

Qi Heng transmitted his voice.

Wan Yang nodded cautiously.

The matter is of great importance, and he needs to consider it carefully.

After all, it was no accident that Zhou Ling was able to become the head of the Xuanjun Division.

······.

In the Golden Dragon Immortal City, on a huge plaza, six warships landed one after another.

"Welcome, Chief Zhou, and the three commanders."

In the square, a group of dozens of people stood together. The leader, wearing a golden robe, was slender with bright eyes. He cupped his hands towards Zhou Ling and the others who had landed from the warship.

He was none other than Gu Qianjian, the Lord of Golden Dragon Immortal Sword City.

"Greetings, Lord Gu! Everyone!"

Zhou Ling smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Behind them, Wang Zhong, Qi Heng, Wan Yang, and others also bowed and greeted the city lord and others.

"Haha, I didn't expect that in just a few years, Brother Zhou would be the head of the Xuanjun Division. Such progress is truly admirable!"

The ancient city lord smiled at Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling successfully resolved the crises of both Sun City and Moon City back then.

They completely crushed the alien races of the Star Sea.
It can be said that he made an unparalleled contribution to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Almost all the cultivators of the Sword Qi Great Wall held him in high regard.

Zhou Ling's appointment as the head of the Xuanjun Division was both a surprise and a matter of course to him.

Surprisingly, Zhou Ling appears to be only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, far below the level required for the position of leader.

As for what is reasonable, judging from the military achievements Zhou Ling made in Sun City, his future accomplishments will definitely not be low.

"It's just a fluke!"

Zhou Ling humbly cupped his hands in greeting.

His mindset was completely different when he arrived at the Sword Qi Great Wall this time.

He was a little nervous and worried when he first came to the trial.

After all, they had never been in contact with other races before, so fear was inevitable.

Now, my identity is completely different; it's more about composure and confidence.

Leading tens of thousands of Starry Army soldiers, he possessed an indomitable spirit, determined not to return until victory was achieved.

Of course, it looks just like that.

However, he also knew that the alien races of the Star Sea were not so easy to deal with.

This was the first time he had led such a large army into battle.

Moreover, the entire Starshine Legion is extremely complex internally.

One should not be impatient for quick results.

Only by taking one step at a time can we make progress.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the ancient city lord led everyone to the main hall of the Golden Dragon Immortal City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Gu, what is the current situation of the Sword Qi Great Wall?"

After everyone was seated, Zhou Ling went straight to the point and asked the question.

After all, the original date had been postponed by more than a month, so Zhou Ling needed to find out the situation as soon as possible.

"The Star Ring is now under construction. Once successful, it will expand our Sword Qi Great Wall by tens of thousands of miles."

"When we combine it with the Sword Qi Great Wall, we will be even more confident in fighting against the alien races, and our Dao Alliance will be safer."

As the city lord spoke, he waved his hand, activating a jade tablet.

Suddenly, a star map appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Star Ring has now established four outposts, with a total of twelve outposts planned."

"Once completed, it can be condensed into a Star Gang Array, whose power is even several times stronger than the Star Radiance Sword Array."

The ancient city lord pointed to the star map and spoke to Zhou Ling and the others.

Zhou Ling's gaze swept across the star map before him, revealing two star chains.

The ring in front is the star ring that the ancient city lord mentioned, but now only a few faint lights remain.

The next one is the Great Wall of Sword Qi, with the ten immortal cities arranged in a fan shape.

If this ring is completed, it will look like a giant semicircle.

The defensive perimeter of the Sword Qi Great Wall was expanded several times over. (End of Chapter)
