Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"Zhou Ling, if I may ask, have you entered the fifth realm of swordsmanship?"

During the rapid flight, Pei Qingshuang asked Zhou Ling.

This is also a matter of great concern to Feng Lan and the others.

The five realms of swordsmanship, the sword of heaven and earth, each contain its own rules of swordsmanship.

This is not something a Golden Core cultivator can master.

Even the most talented sword cultivators are already incredibly powerful if they can reach the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Zhou Ling shook his head and laughed, "It's not that easy!"

Of course, Zhou Lingyuan has not reached that level yet, after all, he has only comprehended the Five Elements Bright Sun Sword Heart.

The number of Five Elements Bright Sun Rules that have been condensed is limited.

It's simply impossible to awaken the Five Realms Sword Dao based on these rules alone.

The main reason is that the Sunlit Immortal Sword has incorporated the terrifying power of the Blazing Sun Flame.

If it were the Five Elements Sword Intent he originally comprehended, he could only unleash 30-40% of the power of the Sunlit Immortal Sword at most.

It is very difficult to kill a fifth-tier Starsea alien.

Hearing Zhou Ling's statement...

The reactions of the people were also different.

"It's not the fifth realm of swordsmanship. Brother Zhou is using the Spirit Flame to activate the Sun Immortal Sword, but this requires the Spirit Flame and the Sun Immortal Sword to be perfectly compatible."

Qi Jianzhi also smiled and said:
"The sword rules that are thus activated are also the ultimate in swordsmanship, completely unique in their own right."

"If only the Spirit Flame and the Sunlit Immortal Sword are in Brother Zhou's hands, then Brother Zhou is a true fifth-realm sword cultivator."

"Our Dao Alliance has produced another fifth-realm sword cultivator, something that hasn't happened in over a hundred years."

"Moreover, Brother Zhou has already condensed a fifth-level sword domain at such a young age; his future achievements will surely far surpass those of ordinary people."

Qi Jianzhi spoke frankly.

He was already good at flattery, and at this moment he admired Zhou Ling even more.

At the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he already possesses the means to kill fifth-tier alien races. If he can grow stronger, he will definitely become a pivotal figure in the Dao Alliance.

"The previous fifth-realm sword cultivator is now the chief of the Dao Alliance Sword Hall."

Feng Lan, standing nearby, also chimed in with praise.

She didn't say much, but her words clearly showed her respect for Zhou Ling.

"If I had agreed to fight him back then, he hadn't even reached the fifth realm yet. Who knows who would have won!"

"But now he has reached the threshold of the fifth realm, and I am no longer his match."

"It's unbelievable that simply repairing the Sunlit Immortal Sword could grant one insights into the fifth realm of swordsmanship?"

"How exactly did they do that?"

Feng Lan was also thinking to herself about missing the battle with Zhou Ling last time.

Now I might regret it.

At that time, Zhou Ling defeated Tao Yue and his group, and then challenged them.

She naturally didn't take this boring written test to heart.

But now it seems that he missed an opportunity to improve his swordsmanship.

This stirred something within her.

After today's battle, Zhou Ling's rise in the Dao Alliance is now unstoppable.

"Now is not the time to discuss these things. In a moment, you will follow my instructions and join forces with me to launch an attack on the Star Sea Alien's great formation!"

Zhou Ling didn't care what others thought. Although he had killed the fifth-tier Star Sea alien, the crisis in the camp was not yet over.

Only after completely defeating these alien armies from the star-seas can we breathe a sigh of relief.

However, in the current situation, the human race is still at a significant disadvantage.

We cannot be careless in the slightest.

With the help of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he was also able to see some weaknesses in the Star Sea Alien Blood Fiend Array not far away.

This Blood Fiend Array is somewhat similar in purpose to the Blood Fiend Array that sealed the Sun Immortal Sword.

Therefore, he was able to quickly find its weaknesses.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely listen to you!"

Pei Qingshuang nodded and said.

Of the four, Qi Jianzhi and the other two always obeyed Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling said this mainly to her and Feng Lan.

"Brother Zhou, if you need my cooperation, just let me know!"

At this moment, Ficchinan also spoke up.

At this moment, he had absolute trust in Zhou Ling.

"it is good."

Time was of the essence, so Zhou Ling didn't mince words and nodded directly.

"Senior Fei, you will assist the senior in the blood domain of the fifth-order Star Sea alien race."

"As for the Blood Fiend Formation, leave it to us!"

"Give me just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and I will surely be able to break through this Blood Fiend Formation!"

Zhou Ling spoke with extreme confidence.

If it were before, Fei Qinan would naturally not have believed it, since both sides had several hundred cultivators in their respective formations.

This is of utmost importance; the slightest mistake could cost the lives of hundreds of cultivators.

Moreover, the alien race of the Star Sea has condensed a fifth-order Blood Fiend Array, whose power is enough to contend with Nascent Soul cultivators.

Generally speaking, it is definitely not something a Golden Core cultivator could break through.

But at this moment, he trusted Zhou Ling completely and nodded directly.

······.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of Dragon Sword Immortal City, several Nascent Soul cultivators sat in meditation.

It was Chen Zhenglei, Liu Zhengjia, and others.

They are keeping a close eye on the progress of the various teams' trials.

After all, the battle with the alien races in the Star Sea is fierce, and unexpected events could happen at any time.

Therefore, we should be prepared.

Especially the three teams heading to Sun City and Moon City.

The most important disciples of the Dao Alliance this generation are all in these three groups.

There absolutely cannot be any mistakes.

"What's happening here?"

"How could Ling's points suddenly jump to over 30,000 this week?"

"Is it cheating?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance spoke up with a surprised look.

Upon hearing this, all six Nascent Soul cultivators immediately turned their attention to the score screen of the trial participants.

"hiss!"

"hiss!"

"It really is over 30,000? How is that possible?"

Looking at Zhou Ling, who was ranked first, his score had reached over 35,000.

Yan Yutian, who ranked second behind him, only had a little over two thousand.

Everyone gasped in disbelief.

To understand the scoring rules for this trial, killing a Tier 4 early-stage Starsea alien will earn you 1,000 points.

Zhou Ling was originally ranked at the bottom and had not accumulated any points for more than twenty days.

Why did it suddenly surge like this?

There's no way they could kill more than thirty fourth-tier alien races in one go.

More than thirty fourth-tier Star Sea aliens—even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't completely kill them.

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

But if we're talking about cheating, there are records on the jade itself, so it's impossible to do it.

"That kid is incredibly cunning; he must have used some trick to deceive the statistics jade token!"

Liu Zhengjia snorted coldly.

Even Chen Zhenglei frowned, already somewhat suspicious of Zhou Ling's consistently low score.

Given Zhou Ling's strength, it's absolutely impossible that he didn't kill a single alien from the Star Sea in over twenty days.

Especially since it is located in the Sun City, which is currently at war with the alien races of the Star Sea.

"This is bad! The Sunrise Immortal City camp has probably been besieged by the Star Sea aliens!" At this moment, Chen Zhenglei suddenly exclaimed with a solemn expression.

Seeing Zhou Ling's points suddenly surge, he immediately thought of the situation in Five Spirits Immortal City back then.

Perhaps Zhou Ling has killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien.

"Chen Zhizheng, what are you saying? We're discussing Zhou Ling's points right now. What does that have to do with the siege of Sunrise Immortal City?"

"And if Sun City were to be besieged, wouldn't it send out a distress signal?"

Upon hearing Chen Zhenglei's words, Liu Zhengjia responded with a mocking expression.

In his view, this was Chen Zhenglei trying to find an excuse for Zhou Ling to avoid suspicion.

"Yes! If Chen Zhizheng's Sun City camp was besieged, why didn't we receive the signal!"

A robust middle-aged man in a white robe said with a smile.

He was Yuan Yu, the city lord of Dragon Sword Immortal City, with a cultivation level in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

They were quite skeptical about Zhou Ling's rapid increase in points.

"If I'm not mistaken, Sun City is under lockdown, and no signal can get through at all."

"Moreover, the reason Zhou Ling's points increased so rapidly is most likely because he killed a fifth-tier Star Sea alien!"

Chen Zhenglei said this.

"How is this possible? A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator killed a fifth-tier Star Sea alien!"

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul cultivators all looked puzzled, seemingly unable to believe it.

"Chen Zhizheng, Zhou Ling is just a Golden Core cultivator. He's dreaming if he thinks he can kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien!"

Liu Zhengjia chuckled and mocked.

"Lord Yuan, I request permission to lead troops to support Sun City!"

Chen Zhenglei stood up and bowed to Yuan Yu.

"As for Zhou Ling, you don't know, back in Five Spirits Immortal City he killed the fifth-tier demon king Fire Dragon Sparrow. Killing a fifth-tier Star Sea alien is not an impossible task for him!"

Chen Zhenglei seemed to have great confidence in Zhou Ling.

"this?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yu frowned.

Sending troops to Sun City is a major undertaking.

If we were to encounter an ambush by alien races from the Star Sea along the way, it would be a considerable risk.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged bewildered glances, not expecting Chen Zhenglei to be so decisive.

"Lord Yuancheng, there's no time to lose. If there's any responsibility involved, I'm willing to take full responsibility!"

Chen Zhenglei said firmly.

His mission this time was to escort the prodigies of the trial. Even if the Sun City camp was breached, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him, but this was related to the important matter of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

He couldn't just stand by and do nothing, especially since Zhou Ling and the others were very likely to be deeply involved as well.

"Very well, since Chen Zhizheng is so confident, I will immediately send troops to Sun City!"

Yuan Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

After all, Sun City is of vital importance to the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Once it falls completely into the hands of the alien races of the Star Sea, it will undoubtedly tear a huge gap in the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

The impact is significant.

He then waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please come with me to Sun City!"

Everyone else bowed and agreed.

······.

The great battle continued above the human camp in Sunrise Immortal City, with the arrival of several reinforcements led by Zhou Ling.

The battle formation cultivators led by the Nascent Soul cultivator Yu Yin were immediately invigorated.

Zhou Ling used the Sunlit Immortal Sword to kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien, a scene witnessed by many cultivators.

It should be noted that alien races in the Star Sea are stronger than human cultivators of the same level.

It is truly unimaginable that Zhou Ling could kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien almost single-handedly.

This is something that no human Golden Core cultivator could possibly do.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I will lend you a hand!"

Fei Qinan shouted and immediately condensed spiritual flames, which he then blasted towards the fifth-order Star Sea alien who was fighting Yu Yin.

The fifth-order Star Sea alien blood domain was suppressing Yu Yin's ice domain, occupying a clear superior position, and was preparing to break through the ice domain.

"The sixth brother has actually perished!"

The fifth-order Star Sea alien was immediately alarmed and abandoned its plan to kill Yu Yin, instead condensing its blood domain to bombard the spirit flame.

After all, besides Fei Qinan, there was also that third-tier human wielding the Sunlit Immortal Sword, whom he also had to be wary of.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, follow Zhou Ling's instructions!"

After unleashing the spiritual flames, Fei Qinan spoke to Yu Yin again.

As the power of the Blood Domain weakened, Yu Yin's pressure was greatly reduced.

However, he didn't quite understand what Ferchinam meant.

But he nodded.

After all, she had witnessed Zhou Ling kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien with her own eyes.

I was equally shocked.

The number one on the Prodigy Ranking is indeed terrifyingly strong!
"All sword cultivators, I will temporarily borrow the swords in your hands to break this Blood Fiend Formation. Please cooperate!"

Zhou Ling's voice echoed among the human cultivators who were forming the great array.

At this moment, the two sides' respective great formations condensed into two huge light domains and fiercely bombarded each other.

On the human side, the Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Formation had been formed, which condensed into a giant azure dragon several hundred feet long.

The alien race of the Star Sea used the Blood Fiend Array to condense a Blood Fiend Demon a thousand feet tall.

The two sides are engaged in a fierce bombardment.

It appears that the Blood Demon is clearly positioned at the top.

Within the human cultivators' formation, each attack from the Azure Dragon and the Blood Fiend Demon resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen people who exploded.

As soon as Zhou Ling finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to react, the Five Elements Bright Sun Sword Heart within his body stirred, and he slashed with the Sun Immortal Sword in his hand.

Instantly, a spatial sword-shaped sun condensed in the void.

The next moment, the golden sword light was fierce and intense, like the blazing sun in the sky.

Where the golden light shone, strands of golden light transformed into wisps of golden sword energy.

Densely packed and overwhelming.

At the same time, the swords of all human cultivators within a radius of dozens of miles trembled violently.

As if summoned by a powerful force, one after another, they shot towards Jian Yang.

In an instant, hundreds of flying swords converged into the sword yang.

"It truly is an independent sword path governed by the rules of heaven and earth..."

Upon seeing this, Feng Lan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Originally, it was thought that Zhou Ling could only use the Blazing Sun Flame to perform the fifth-order sword technique.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling was able to use his own cultivation level to perform this fifth-order sword technique.

She underestimated Zhou Ling.

Only the Five Realms of Sword Dao can make all other swords submit without resistance.

This is the sign that you have entered the Five Realms of Swordsmanship.

It's not as simple as just touching the threshold.

However, he was unaware that Zhou Ling had not yet fully entered the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao.

Jian Yang possesses such powerful rules because he has integrated into the Five Elements Sword Formation, and the Five Elements rules he comprehended are far more powerful than the Sun and Moon rules.

"Hoo ho!"

The fourth-tier sword in her hand also transformed into a stream of light, merging into the sword yang.

"Buzz!"

Each sword burst forth with a dazzling light.

At this moment, two or three hundred swords released their sword energy, and the aura they exuded was several times stronger than before.

The resulting scene was extremely spectacular, like ten thousand swords returning to their origin.

The sword's pressure shook the heavens.

The other human cultivators did not resist either, their swords drifting with the current.

Of course, even if they wanted to resist, they couldn't. (End of Chapter)
