Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

The main hospital of Jiutian Sword Academy.

Since the main academy competition has officially begun, the entire Taoist academy is extremely lively.

Many monks from Qingyang Immortal City came to watch.

After all, this competition involves not only Taoist disciples, but also Taoist teachers.

A monk at the Nascent Soul level.

This is extremely rare.

After all, Qingyang Immortal City is basically a safe area in addition to opening up areas.

Even if there is a tide of beasts or evil cultivators, it will generally not be able to affect Qingyang Fairy City.

It is almost impossible to see Yuanying monks fighting.

Early in the morning, Dean Gong took Zhou Ling and others to the competition square.

They were arranged to go to their rest area and wait for the competition to come.

They were placed in the first batch to compete.

The disciples' competition and the teacher's competition will be held at the same time, but they will be arranged on different competition stages.

As other Taoist disciples continued to arrive, Zhou Ling also saw the teachers and disciples of other Taoist schools.

They are all Qingyang Immortal Realm and its talented people.

After all, in the entire Qingyang Immortal Realm cultivation world, Qingyang Immortal City is only a fourth-level immortal city.

It can only be regarded as a medium force.

However, due to the existence of Zhou Ling, the foundation-building instructor, it attracted the attention of other Taoist academies.

After all, teachers and disciples who participate in Taoist competitions are usually registered in the register.

In addition to the foundation-building disciples, it was also known that Zhou Ling was also the head of the Tiangong Division.

Of course, Zhizheng only means that his strength in weapon refining is not low.

But here is an actual combat test, and the situation is completely different.

After a while, there was a huge square made of white jade.

The seats were filled with monks and disciples from Jiutian Sword Academy who came to watch.

clang!

clang

clang!

Just then, a bell rang.

But on the judges' bench in the square, several sapphire platforms descended, and on the platform sat a monk with a strong aura.

There are nine of them in total, both male and female.

Each one exudes a powerful and unfathomable aura.

Zhou Ling also met the long-lost head of the Wang family, Ye Zhishou of the Tiangong Department and Dean Shen of the Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

"This year's general hospital competition has officially begun!"

In the center of the Taoist platform, the dean of Jiutian Sword Academy, wearing a green robe and a majestic face, spoke out.

The sound is like a loud bell, which refreshes people's spirits.

"Competition No. 1, Jinhe Immortal City Butian Taoist Academy versus Qichen Immortal City Xuanyuan Taoist Academy."

"Competition No. 2, Feilong Battle Academy of Lingguang Immortal City versus Tianxia Dao Academy of Feiyu Immortal City."

······

"Competition stage No. 6, Qingyun Immortal City Jiutian Sword Academy versus Guyan Immortal City Tianxia Dao Academy."

······．

The voice of the monk who presided over the competition fell.

Groups of monks began to walk towards the competition platform.

"Everyone can just go out and fight as we discussed yesterday!"

The dean of the palace walked in front and spoke to everyone calmly.

"Yes, Dean!"

The disciples all bowed their hands and replied.

Since it was a team competition, everyone didn’t seem too nervous.

But when he looked at Zhou Ling, he was still somewhat suspicious.

After all, his opponent was a peak Golden Core cultivator.

There is a big gap between the two.

Moreover, the golden elixir monks condensed the elixir realm, which absolutely suppressed the foundation-building monks.

However, Zhou Ling always looked like an old god. No one knew where his confidence came from.

Soon, seven people were on the competition stage.

The test bench is divided into two areas.

They are all very spacious and shrouded in the light of the magic circle.

The area where the disciples compete is the third-level magic circle, while the instructor's area is the fourth-level magic circle.

Zhou Ling followed Dean Gong to the teaching competition area.

Opposite them, two burly men were already standing.

One of them, who looks slightly more elegant, is Lin Changqing, the dean of Tianxia Taoist Academy in Ancient Rock Immortal City.

The one who looks a little rough is the chief instructor He Jing.

"Dean Palace, Professor Zhou is so polite!"

"Dean Lin, Professor He, you are so polite!"

Both sides bowed their hands to each other.

"Teacher Zhou, I didn't expect that at such a young age, he would have such a level of cultivation. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"

Lin Changqing asked with a smile.

He was a little surprised when he originally heard that Zhou Ling was only at the peak level of foundation building.

After all, in the Fourth-Rank Taoist Academy, the inner courtyard teaches at least Jindan cultivation, which is a general consensus.

But after checking Zhou Ling's situation, he was greatly surprised.

As a senior member of the Taoist Academy, he naturally has access to information that ordinary people don't know.

Zhou Ling was not only in charge of the Tiangong Division, he also made great achievements in the recent battle of Anyang Immortal City.

It is said that one person killed two fourth-level monsters.

After knowing this news, they immediately did not take it lightly.

"Dean Lin, Professor He, please give me some advice!"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands and said.

With the experience of killing two fourth-level monsters, now he doesn't feel much pressure even if he faces the Nascent Soul cultivator head-on.

"Last year, I heard my clan brother say that he lost in weapon refining. I still didn't believe it. Now that I meet Zhou Jiaoxi, I know that my clan brother's defeat was not unjust."

He Jing laughed with a slightly hoarse voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at the head of the He family at the judges' table.

Only then did he realize that the He Jing in front of him was actually from the He family.

During the Tianwei assessment, he defeated He Yunshan, who had the highest claim for the title, and thus won the title.

Didn't you expect that you would meet members of the He family at the first stop of this assessment?

What a coincidence!

From the other party's words, he could sense a hint of hostility.

Could it be that after defeating He Yunshan, the He family still wanted to see him?

The He family is a famous family after all, they shouldn't be so petty, right?

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Of course, he is now the chief of the Tiangong Division, so he is not worried.

In the Dao League, this identity is the best amulet.

"The competition officially begins!"

A powerful voice sounded.

"This time I happened to meet Teacher Zhou, so let me see if Teacher Zhou's swordsmanship is as amazing as his weapon refining talent!"

He Jing looked at Zhou Ling and said with a slightly arrogant tone.

He really couldn't figure out what trump card a foundation-building cultivator would have in his hand to dare to face a peak Jindan cultivator like this.

Don't say this is a big stage.

Even 80% of foundation-building cultivators will find it difficult to enter the Jindan realm in their lifetime.

As soon as the voice fell, He Jing raised his hand, and a flame of light suddenly condensed on his hand.

A blazing and violent flame burst out, gathering into a flame net, and rolled towards Zhou Ling.

"Why did Zhou Ling participate in this kind of Jindan and Yuanying level competition?"

"Isn't he a teacher of my Xuanyuan Taoist Academy? Why is he representing Jiutian Sword Academy?"

On the judges' seat, Dean Shen was puzzled.

"A peak foundation cultivator dares to fight against He Jing, a peak Jindan?"    "What trump card does this little guy have in his hand? It's really exciting!"

"At such a young age, he became the chief of the Tiangong Division and the chief teacher of the Taoist Academy. How could such a person be reckless!"

"Master Wang, isn't he the son-in-law of your Wang family? What's going on?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Ling, who stood out from the crowd, and their attention quickly focused on him.

After all, his age and cultivation were too conspicuous.

Among the teachers, the lowest were basically at the peak of Jindan.

As for him, a peak foundation cultivator, he looked extremely abrupt.

It's hard not to attract other people's attention.

Although everyone feels that Zhou Ling is not simple, it is impossible to defeat the peak of Jindan with the peak of foundation building.

If it is the early stage of Jindan, or with the help of some means, there may be a chance.

But the gap between the peak of Jindan is too big.

The lowest cultivation level of the people present is the late stage of Yuanying, and there are even gods.

In their cultivation career, they have almost never seen the peak of foundation building defeat the peak of Jindan.

"Haha! It is said that he is a third-level sword cultivator."

The head of the Wang family smiled playfully.

In fact, he was extremely shocked.

Every time I see Zhou Ling, this kid's progress is really unbelievable.

You know, the last time I saw him, he was only the second level of foundation building, but now it has only been less than two years, and he has reached the peak of foundation building.

Isn't it easy for him to achieve the ten-year Jindan?

I agreed with him to achieve the ten-year Jindan, but now it seems to be a complete joke.

Fortunately, I adjusted my relationship with Zhou Ling later.

Let his daughter spend more time with him, so that he won't have any resentment towards the Wang family.

After all, if this situation continues.

Zhou Ling may become a Divine Transformation cultivator in the future.

"It is difficult for a third-level sword cultivator to defeat He Jing!"

"Yes, is there no one in the Nine Heavens Sword Academy? You want a foundation-building cultivator to fight?"

The other judges shook their heads and said.

In their opinion, Zhou Ling has no chance to defeat He Jing.

"Is this the attack of the golden elixir?!"

At this moment, Zhou Ling on the competition stage glanced over, pointed his hand, and the beast flame flew out of his hand, turning into a dazzling Haoyang bird, and fiercely blasted towards the flame net!

"Fourth-grade spiritual flame!"

The next scene made He Jing's face instantly cloudy.

I saw that the beast flame that flew out was not suppressed by his giant flame net at all.

Like a dazzling golden sun, it spun violently, and the net cut the giant flame net and was shattered by the bombardment.

After piercing the giant flame net, the power of the beast flame did not seem to be weakened much.

Admittedly, this giant flame net was just a casual attack by him to test Zhou Ling, but the power contained in it was not something that an ordinary Jindan early stage cultivator could take on!

But it was easily blocked by the fourth-grade spiritual flame in Zhou Ling's hand.

"Interesting!"

He Jing laughed.

"Flame dragon!"

He Jing put his hands together and pushed it out with a serious look.

Suddenly, a giant flame dragon condensed out of thin air in the air, dozens of feet long, and a fire area was formed as the flames rose.

This is the power of Jindan cultivators, who can condense in an instant by casting spells.

This is definitely not something that a foundation-building cultivator can do.

Facing the terrifying power emitted by the fire area, Zhou Ling was not afraid at all, and the beast flame hovered in the sky.

At the same time, the earth spirit fire in his body roared out.

A reddish-brown fire cloud condensed in the air, and then turned into a tortoise shell-like shield, covering him.

Now the Earth Spirit Fire has already reached the third level, not far from the fourth level.

Apart from other things, its defense is extremely strong, enough to block the attack of the peak of the Golden Core.

The next moment, the ferocious fire dragon hit the Earth Spirit Fire fiercely.

Boom!

There was a thunderous roar, and the Earth Spirit Fire remained motionless.

But the entire void seemed to be reflected in a deep red.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Zhou Ling actually abandon the beast flame and let his fire dragon bombard the earth turtle flame shield, He Jing's face was full of incredible shock.

On the one hand, it was because of the two powerful spiritual flames in Zhou Ling's hands.

And he really didn't believe that a foundation-building cultivator could control two almost fourth-grade spiritual flames at the same time.

But as his divine sense swept over, he was 100% sure that Zhou Ling was at the peak of foundation-building cultivation.

At this moment, he was a little surprised. These two attacks had reached 80% of his strength, but they were easily blocked by Zhou Ling.

It really overturned his cognition for decades.

In theory, even the most powerful foundation-building cultivator could not block his attack with the Dan domain.

But Zhou Ling took a different approach and actually used spiritual flames to fight.

The key is how he managed to control these two spiritual flames at the same time?

"No wonder Zhou Jiaoshi was able to become the chief of Tiangongsi at such a young age. It turns out that he has such powerful spiritual flames!"

Dean Lin looked at the two spiritual flames surrounding Zhou Ling and said in a surprised tone.

The power of these two spiritual flames alone is enough to keep Zhou Ling from losing when facing most Jindan cultivators.

He and Dean Gong were not in a hurry to fight.

After all, Zhou Ling's strength was too low.

If they could decide the winner quickly.

Then he and Dean Gong would not need to fight anymore.

After all, Dean Gong would have absolutely no chance of winning in a two-on-one situation.

It seemed that Zhou Ling was going to use these two spiritual flames to fight He Jing.

So he and Dean Gong were going to fight.

"Dean Gong, please give me some advice!"

Dean Lin bowed to Dean Gong.

"Dean Lin, please!"

Dean Gong also smiled.

As the words fell, the whole person's momentum soared into the sky, and a green sword light whistled out from his body. The Qingmu Sword Domain turned into a sword river and slashed towards the opponent.

She entered the fourth realm of the sword, the sword of heaven and earth, and also practiced the sword heart. She could clearly feel that Dean Lin's strength did not pose any threat to her.

Even with He Jing, she can win alone.

But this is a good opportunity to train Zhou Ling.

And the strength of the opponents will become stronger and stronger.

So we have to retain enough strength to go further.

"Fourth realm sword domain?"

Feeling the Qinghe Sword Domain, Dean Lin's originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn.

Unexpectedly, Dean Gong not only entered the Nascent Soul Realm, but also reached the fourth realm of swordsmanship.

You know, because of Zhou Ling's cultivation, the Nine Heavens Sword Academy in Qingyun Immortal City is regarded as the weakest.

How happy he was when he knew he would fight them yesterday.

But now he is so heavy in his heart.

He Jing, who originally thought he would win, did not show a very obvious advantage under the siege of two flames.

And as a fourth realm sword cultivator, he has no chance of winning.

Now he can only hold on and wait for He Jing to come to Zhou Ling for help.

Dean Lin looked solemn, and with a point in his hand, a black giant ruler condensed into a hundred-foot ruler, and bombarded the sword river.

But the next moment, it clashed fiercely with the blue sword river.

The black ruler collapsed and dimmed in an instant.

"What, her sword domain attack is so powerful?"

The attack condensed by the fourth-level black ruler was broken in an instant, and Dean Lin immediately showed an unbelievable look.
