Immortality Begins With Internal Breathing

Lin Zheyu’s natural talent was indeed formidable, but Elder Yang, as a former Grandmaster realm expert, knew well how difficult it was to advance to the Grandmaster realm. To comprehend ten kinds of true intent and then ascend to the Grandmaster realm could be said to be unprecedented.

During this period, he and the sect’s elders had reviewed the records of those who had successfully advanced to the Grandmaster realm. The most any of them had comprehended was six kinds of true intent. Even so, that person had squandered decades, undergone great upheavals in life, risen and fallen several times, and only after profound enlightenment finally advanced to the Grandmaster realm. This was enough to show how difficult it was to comprehend multiple true intents and become a Grandmaster.

”Haha, I was only joking. I hope you don’t mind. But how did the space-time node in the northern lands fail to close in time? Does Great Wei not have powerful immortal cultivators?” Lin Zheyu laughed and quickly changed the subject.

”It seems you have gathered quite a bit of information. Great Wei indeed has immortal cultivators, but it also faces many enemies. It is said that this time, the northern barbarians dispatched many powerful experts who secretly infiltrated the region and caused trouble. That is what led to the complete loss of control over that space-time node,” Elder Yang said calmly, though a trace of gravity flickered in his eyes.

Although the lives of ordinary people seemed unaffected on the surface, undercurrents were surging beneath. The dangers had merely been handled by Great Wei’s experts and the many masters of various sects. With the northern space-time node now out of control, matters seemed to be heading in an unfavorable direction.

”Let us not speak of this. Before you advance to the Force Transformation realm, these matters have little to do with you. At most, you can only take on tasks to slay demon puppets,” Elder Yang said with a smile.

He took out the technique he had long prepared and tossed it over.

”This is the Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash. The Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash is based on the Azure Tide Boundless True Technique and integrates the Shattered Star Pavilion’s Vast Heaven Shattered Star True Technique and the Flying Cloud Pavilion’s Flying Cloud Phantom Flash True Technique. It focuses on cultivating strength and speed.

This technique is fierce and domineering. The Dominance true intent you cultivate can be perfectly integrated into it. It is currently the most suitable development path for you,” Elder Yang said slowly, outlining Lin Zheyu’s future direction while imparting his own insights on advancing to the Grandmaster realm.

Elder Yang had once fallen from the Grandmaster realm to the peak of the Force Transformation realm due to severe injuries. Nevertheless, having once been a Grandmaster, he understood the path thoroughly. Now he was pointing out a direction for Lin Zheyu and telling him what he must do to advance to the Grandmaster realm in the future.

”...Very well, go back and cultivate first. If you encounter any problems, consult the third elder. He also specializes in the Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash,” Elder Yang said, waving his hand.

”Yes, many thanks, Elder Yang.” Lin Zheyu expressed his gratitude and took his leave.

”Thirtieth rank on the Hidden Dragon List. My judgment truly is remarkable, haha...”

Watching Lin Zheyu’s departing figure, Elder Yang could not help but reveal a proud smile. The Dao Child slot this time was secured!

But I must dispel this boy’s thoughts of cultivating the Primordial Wuji True Technique. How can this technique be so easy to cultivate? Aside from the founding ancestor, I have not seen anyone achieve anything remarkable with it. Should I write a secret letter and have Baizhong return later? Hmm... no... perhaps it truly is feasible.

This boy has strong natural talent in the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art. The cultivation effects of the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art are closely tied to the strength of the physique. After cultivating the Primordial Wuji True Technique, his physique will be greatly enhanced. At that time, his results in cultivating the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art will improve as well, and his spirit and spiritual soul will grow stronger. The stronger the spirit and spiritual soul, the less they are influenced by true intent.

If Lin Zheyu cultivates his spirit and spiritual soul to an extremely powerful degree, he may not be unable to break free from the troubles caused by multiple true intents and condense the Grandmaster’s will.

Soul secret arts are among the techniques that every Force Transformation realm martial artist must cultivate. To break free from the influence of martial cultivation true intent on the spirit, strengthening one’s own spirit and spiritual soul is the best method. This was also why Elder Yang had been so excited when he learned that Lin Zheyu possessed strong natural talent in the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art.

I’ll find a time to test the strength of this boy’s spirit and spiritual soul. If it is strong enough, perhaps I can let him give it a try, Elder Yang pondered inwardly.

***

Lin Zheyu was unaware of Elder Yang’s thoughts. Carrying the technique, he returned to his courtyard.

”The Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash is indeed a powerful technique, but it is far inferior to the Primordial Wuji True Technique I intend to cultivate...” Lin Zheyu muttered as he flipped through the manual.

This technique was created on the foundation of the Azure Tide Boundless True Technique, integrating the Vast Heaven Shattered Star True Technique of the Shattered Star Pavilion and the Flying Cloud Phantom Flash True Technique of the Flying Cloud Pavilion. In terms of amplifying strength, it was inferior to the Vast Heaven Shattered Star True Technique. In terms of amplifying speed, it was inferior to the Flying Cloud Phantom Flash True Technique. It had even removed the Illusion true intent contained within the Flying Cloud Phantom Flash True Technique. It was nothing like the Primordial Wuji True Technique, which perfectly fused the advantages of eight different true techniques.

”I will set it aside for now and continue cultivating my Blood Burning Saber technique.”

Lin Zheyu placed the Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash aside and continued cultivating the forbidden technique he had acquired from the black market some time ago. The true intents contained within the Heaven Shattering Dominance Flash were all present in the Primordial Wuji True Technique, and the cultivation effects were superior.

In his plans, the Primordial Wuji True Technique was something he would certainly cultivate. There was no need to waste time on this inferior version. As for the Blood Burning Saber technique, it was a method containing the Blood Burning true intent. The Blood Burning true intent belonged to a branch of the Fire true intent and incorporated a trace of Slaughter true intent.

Lin Zheyu had long planned out his future path in martial cultivation. Aside from cultivating the powerful Primordial Wuji True Technique, he also intended to cultivate multiple techniques containing Thunder and Fire true intents. Yaos and demons feared the blazing Yang, so would comprehend various techniques containing Thunder and Fire true intents, making his true strength supremely firm and supremely Yang.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 21]

[Skills: Tortoise Breath True Technique (Sixth Stage: 0%), Blood Burning Saber Technique (First Stage: 91%), Azure Tide Boundless True Technique (Sixth Stage: 70%)]

Lin Zheyu looked at the data within his consciousness and muttered to himself, ”It has been too long since I practiced saber techniques. I have grown rusty. It has been three days and I still have not broken through to the second stage.”

During this period, his Origin Force had accumulated to 21 units. Lin Zheyu planned to save it for now and wait until he obtained the Primordial Wuji True Technique before using it to enhance that technique. As for the other techniques, with his comprehension and natural talent, along with the powerful assistance of the Hidden Dragon Tokens, they posed little difficulty.

Swish, swish, swish.

Holding his long saber, Lin Zheyu began to cultivate. In an instant, the courtyard was filled with countless saber shadows containing faint golden blade radiance. His body grew extremely hot, and the blood throughout his body seemed to boil, causing his blood qi to surge along with it. His gaze was ferocious, brimming with intense killing intent. The Blood Burning Saber technique had three stages, and its power was formidable.

When the saber was unleashed, the blood throughout his body seemed to ignite. Rolling blood surged and evaporated into an endless torrent of blood qi, erupting into terrifying attacks. The so-called blood burning was literal. What burned was not only blood, but also latent potential and lifespan. With each slash, it likely consumed several years of his own lifespan. Not only did this occur during use, but it also happened during cultivation, burning blood, latent potential, and lifespan, leaving behind many hidden dangers. For this reason, few martial artists dared to cultivate this technique. Only Lin Zheyu, who could use Origin Force to restore all hidden injuries in his body, dared to cultivate this sinister art so recklessly.

After cultivating for an hour, Lin Zheyu stopped and took out the true intent diagram of the Blood Burning Saber technique. After observing it for another hour, he began a second round of practice. An hour later, he stopped once more.

The killing intent contained within the Blood Burning true intent is too heavy. This is a technique forged through slaughter. It is not suitable for closed door cultivation.

Lin Zheyu reviewed the process of his practice and pondered inwardly.

When comprehending true intent, he was also influenced by the Tortoise Breath true intent. The killing intent he had painstakingly condensed quickly dissipated. This was the troublesome aspect of cultivating multiple true intents.
