Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 374 Mid-stage Golden Core and the Four Great Grotto-Heavens of the Human Race

"Not only that, with the Beast Flame reaching the fifth rank, my magical power has also significantly increased!"

Feeling the changes in the magical power within his body, Chen Ling was filled with excitement.

Unexpectedly, as the Beast Flame reached the fifth rank, the mana in his body also broke through the bottleneck of the mid-stage Golden Core realm and entered the fourth level of the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, the quality of the magic seemed different from before, as if it had acquired a mysterious aura.

"Could it be because it fused with the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul?"

Feeling the immense magical power within him, Zhou Ling's face lit up with joy.

Within the Qi Sea, both Golden Cores had noticeably increased in size.

The spiritual energy within it is incredibly dense.

At just twenty years old, Zhou Ling has already become a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, something he himself never expected.

You should know that he originally only had a low-grade spiritual root. If he hadn't used his talent to condense the acquired Five Elements Thunder Body, it would have been impossible for him to do so.

At this age and with this level of cultivation, there are probably only a handful of people in the Dao Alliance who can match him.

But regarding his own progress in cultivation...

Zhou Ling was fully aware of the situation.

The reason he was able to maintain such a rapid pace of cultivation improvement was entirely due to his innate talent.

There is also the effect of cultivating the Five Elements Spiritual Flame simultaneously.

Another point is the large amount of resources invested.

All three points are indispensable.

Just like this time, when he broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Golden Core realm from the second level of the Golden Core realm in one go, it was thanks to the enhancement of the Beast Flame.

Only then can such an effect be achieved.

He possesses five spiritual flames, which is his unique advantage.

After all, being able to control a fourth-grade spiritual flame is already extremely rare.

Being able to control all five paths simultaneously is truly unique.

At the same time, these are all his natal spirit flames.

What is this concept.

It's like having five Nascent Soul cultivators assisting him in his cultivation.

This kind of progress is to be expected.

If other cultivators had the talent to assist them, and with the addition of the Five Spirit Flames, their progress might not be inferior to his.

And as one's realm advances...

Zhou Ling felt that not only had his magical power changed significantly compared to before, but the amount of it had also almost doubled.

Moreover, his spiritual cultivation has also improved significantly.

It reached seven thousand feet, which is comparable to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, the three pure soul bodies in the sea of ​​consciousness have all been completely solidified, and their power is incomparable to that of ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

You should know that the "Three Pure Creation Technique" is incredibly powerful; the divine soul cultivated from it is equivalent to three times that of others.

With his current spiritual cultivation, if he were to unleash the Three Pure Ones Dharma Form, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would likely suffer greatly.

As for whether he could use his divine soul avatar to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, Zhou Ling wasn't very confident.

It probably won't be that easy, but it should still pose a significant threat to the other side.

Zhou Ling was satisfied with this result.

"However, the biggest improvement is still in Beast Flame!"

"Of course, the beast flame can no longer be called beast flame now."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

After fusing with the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul and the essence released by the Fire Dragon Sparrow Demon Core, the Beast Flame has undergone a great transformation.

It was no longer the beast flame condensed from the original Haoyang Bird demon core.

Instead, it possesses the aura of both the Heavenly Flame and the Fire Dragon Sparrow.

"Now, the Blazing Sun Flame also possesses the divine powers of the Blazing Sun Flame and the Fire Dragon Sparrow, greatly increasing its power."

"At the same time, with the help of the Blazing Sun Flame, I can also condense the Fire Dragon Sparrow's divine domain."

"Right now, even a Nascent Soul cultivator simply cannot withstand this Blazing Sun Flame!"

Feeling the ever-changing aura of the Blazing Sun Flame, Zhou Ling's face showed joy.

Zhou Ling was quite confident about this.

He had been unable to use the domain power of the Fire Dragon Sparrow Demon Core.

Now, with the help of the blazing sun's fiery flames, perhaps it will be possible to unleash its full potential.

With a fifth-order spirit flame as its carrier, its power will definitely be greatly enhanced.

He immediately focused his mind and absorbed the Blazing Sun Flame into his body.

The golden flames around him then dissipated.

Although the Blazing Sun Flame is his natal spirit flame, it still consumes magical power when used.

Zhou Ling let out a long breath and returned to normal.

"Not bad, it can still fuse with the essence within the soul!"

At this moment, the hoarse voice of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame rang out.

His tone seemed quite surprised.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

Zhou Ling bowed and thanked the Golden Soul Burning Flame that shone with golden light in the sky.

Whether it's the weapon-refining spirit soul from the last fusion or the primordial spirit soul this time, both are extremely beneficial to me.

It could be said that the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame directly gave him two opportunities.

No amount of gratitude is too much.

This time, in particular, is quite different.

While merging with the spirit, the fundamental rules within the spirit are also integrated into one's own magical power.

It caused a qualitative change in his magical power, greatly increasing its strength.

"No need to thank me, this is what you earned through your own efforts."

"If you cannot refine this spiritual essence, you will also be burned to ashes by it."

"It was the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame's hoarse voice," he said.

"Of course, your ability to refine my two spiritual souls in this way truly shows that we are destined to be together."

"To be able to merge with the spiritual flame essence within it is a great opportunity for me."

"This spirit flame may have a chance to surpass me in the future and reach the level of an eighth-grade spirit flame!"

"Eighth-grade Spirit Flame?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Originally, Beast Flame was only at the Xuan grade level, with its maximum potential being only the fourth rank.

Now that the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame is said to be able to reach the eighth rank, doesn't that mean that the current grade of the Bright Sun Burning Heaven Flame has reached the Earth grade, or even the Heaven grade?

This surprised and delighted Zhou Ling.

The Blazing Sun Flame is his natal spirit flame; the greater its potential, the greater his own improvement.

"Senior, may I ask what kind of supernatural powers this spiritual soul itself contains?"

Zhou Ling then cupped his hands in greeting to the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame and inquired.

The five spiritual flames in his hands each possess their own unique supernatural power.

Originally, the Beast Flame possessed the bloodline supernatural power of the Haoyang Bird, and its power was not low.

Now that it also possesses the divine power of the Fire Dragon Sparrow, it is even more terrifying.

But of all the spirit flames, the most powerful one is naturally the divine power of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame itself.

"Naturally, it is my divine power to incinerate the source."

"The divine powers I have now gathered are three Golden Soul Slashes, Golden Sun Slash, and Heaven-Burning Annihilation."

"Among them, the power of burning the heavens and destroying the world is the most terrifying. When I used it at full power, it was enough to kill an eighth-order demon."

Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame slowly introduced it to Zhou Ling.

"Exterminate an eighth-tier demon?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling looked even more shocked.

They were not only surprised by the power of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame Divine Power.

They were also shocked by the existence of the eighth-order demon race.

Although his status is not low now, he has even killed a fifth-tier demon king like the Fire Dragon Sparrow.

There are also many heretical practitioners in the Blood Dark Cult.

But this was the first time he had ever heard of the Demon race, a foreign race.

"Back then, I made an agreement with the Wang family patriarch to help him fight against the demons."

"He once helped him kill an eighth-tier demon."

"This battle established the Wang family's position among the four major families in the Qingyang Immortal Realm."

"However, in recent years, no cultivators at the Void Refinement stage have emerged, and their strength is not as great as it was during the ancestor's heyday!"

Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame continued, his tone revealing a deep longing for the days when he fought alongside Ancestor Wang.

"Senior, what's going on with these demons?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Demon Race is one of the hundred races beyond the realm. Every so often, they invade the human race, while the Dao Alliance, the Heavenly Palace, the Immortal Sect, and the Desolate Domain, among other human forces, unite to fight against them!"

"Once you fuse with the spirit and your strength increases, you will naturally become aware of these things!"

It seemed that Jinpo Burning Heaven Flame was somewhat surprised that Zhou Ling had never heard of the Demon Clan.

"The human race still has four major powers?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling was even more surprised.

In his view, the Dao Alliance was already the most powerful force among the human race.

I didn't expect there to be three other major human forces.

"These four major human forces have always existed, but they are located in different celestial realms, so they don't usually have much contact with each other."

"Only when alien races invade will the leaders of the four major powers contact each other to fight against them together!"

The Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame patiently explained its contents to Zhou Ling.

As Zhou Ling merged with two spiritual souls, it felt a sense of familiarity towards him.

"Thank you for informing me, senior!"

Zhou Ling bowed again in thanks.

As for the matter of the four major human forces, I will ask my master about it after leaving the secret realm.

After all, I've been in the secret realm for a while now, so I need to leave first.

Don't delay your journey to Tianxia Immortal City.

"Ok!"

"I will teleport you out now."

Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame responded, followed by a burst of golden light.

Zhou Ling felt a flash of golden light before his eyes.

When the golden light dissipated, the scene before my eyes was once again the royal palace.

"It's coming out now?"

As soon as Zhou Ling stood still, he heard Wang Laozu's surprised voice.

The reason for the surprise is that Zhou Ling has only been in the secret realm for less than half a day.

In such a short period of time, it would be almost impossible to refine a fifth-order spiritual soul.

This is the spirit of the seventh-order Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame, whose power is no less than that of the fifth-order spirit flame.

Refining it can sometimes take more than a month.

However, Zhou Ling had already refined a fourth-order spiritual soul of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame, so refining it again would be...

It will definitely be much faster.

After all, it had already gained the approval of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame.

But it's impossible for it to happen that quickly.

This made him worry about whether Zhou Ling would be able to refine this spiritual essence.

Upon seeing Zhou Ling's condition, he was slightly taken aback, "Mid-stage Golden Core?"

When Zhou Ling entered the secret realm just now, his aura was clearly only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Mid-stage Golden Core!

Zi Ling Fairy and the others looked at Zhou Ling with surprise on their faces.

No one expected that Zhou Ling's cultivation level would improve so quickly.

how did you do that?
After all, the main purpose of entering the secret realm is to fuse with the spiritual flame.

There was no statement that fusing with spiritual flames could improve one's cultivation level.

"Zhou Ling, how is the situation?"

The head of the Wang family was the first to inquire with concern.

Zhou Ling is now engaged to her daughter.

He is his future son-in-law.

This spirit was originally meant for him to merge with.

However, considering Zhou Ling's current situation...

Since the ancestor chose to fuse with Zhou Ling, he supported it.

But if the fusion fails, it would be such a waste.

After all, a spirit is not like a spark.

If the fusion fails, the spirit will be consumed.

That would be such a waste.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

"This junior was fortunate enough to fuse with a spiritual soul!"

Zhou Ling laughed with the Wang family head and others.

His eyes were bright and piercing, and his overall demeanor was quite different from before.

It's not just the changes brought about by the improvement in cultivation level, but also the domineering aura brought by the fusion of the Golden Soul Burning Heaven Flame itself.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Such rapid fusion of spiritual essence demonstrates the exceptional compatibility between your own spiritual flame and physique and the Heavenly Flame, enabling you to achieve this!"

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, Old Ancestor Wang praised him with a look of delight.

The only reason Zhou Ling was able to fuse with the Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul so quickly is that he gained the Burning Heaven Flame's great approval.

That's why it can move at this speed.

Even if he is the patriarch of the Wang family, he may not actually be able to gain the approval of the Burning Heaven Flame.

In the Wang family, the only person whom Burning Heaven Flame acknowledges is the ancestor from back then.

Now it seems that he also highly approves of Zhou Ling.

This filled him with joy.

The fact that Fen Tianyan acknowledged him like this naturally means that Zhou Ling's future strength will definitely not be low.

This will certainly be of great benefit to the Wang family.

Of course, Zhou Ling's ability to fuse with a spiritual soul indicates that his own strength is certainly not low.

"Thank you very much, Ancestor, for giving this junior this opportunity!"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands in thanks.

"No need to be so formal, you are also one of my Wang family members."

"Once we return from Tianxia Immortal City, your marriage with Qingshang should be arranged as soon as possible!"

"I will personally travel to Qingyun Immortal City to officiate your wedding!"

Old Master Wang laughed heartily.

While fusing with the Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul, Zhou Ling was actually able to raise his cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

He knew all too well what this meant.

Clearly, the spirit has now merged into Zhou Ling's natal spirit flame.

A cultivator who can fuse the Heavenly Flame Spirit Soul into their Natal Spirit Flame must have a high cultivation level.

The wedding should naturally be completed as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingshang blushed.

Of course, if the patriarch himself officiates the wedding, then the meaning is quite different.

However, given Zhou Ling's current status, it wouldn't be unreasonable for the patriarch to personally officiate the wedding.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you seem to be in a hurry to attend the wedding banquet!"

Fairy Ziling chuckled and teased.

Zhou Ling's ability to enter the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm at this time undoubtedly increases his chances of winning the upcoming battle against Liu Polei.

Although it seems that his strength is still clearly inferior to Liu Polei's.

But when the soul of the Burning Heaven Flame is fused with it, it's a completely different story.

They also have a trump card to deal with their opponents.

"However, the Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul is a fifth-order spirit soul. It is not difficult to activate after fusion, but with your current cultivation level, it is not so easy to control it freely. You still need to be careful."

"In the current situation, if you can combine the five spiritual flames into one, and control the Burning Heaven Flame Spirit Soul in this way, the effect might be the best!"

Old Master Wang reminded Zhou Ling again.

Even though his spirit soul has now merged into Zhou Ling's natal spirit flame, Zhou Ling's cultivation level is too low, so it will definitely be very difficult for him to fully control the fifth-order spirit flame.

"Yes, ancestor!"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands in reply.

With his innate talent, controlling the spirit flames wasn't too difficult for him, nor did it consume much energy.

This is a significant advantage he has over others.
