Immortality Begins With Internal Breathing

Chapter 456: Martial Cultivation Is Not Crude (II)

One day later.

Within a certain demonic river, Lin Zheyu sat with his eyes closed. Patterns formed across his body, composed of mysterious runes. The shapes were faint and illusory, like an intangible breeze. The Saha Scripture was quite intriguing. It could condense a totem-like energy that merged with, transformed, and tempered the physique. What it cultivated was a formless wind. While strengthening the physique, it also reshaped it into a special constitution, one that could merge into the breeze and unleash astonishing speed.

After a few breaths, Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes. The invisible wind swirling around him vanished in an instant.

”Interesting! The Immortal Dao is truly strange!” Lin Zheyu said with surprise.

The moment he reached the third stage of the Saha Scripture, Lin Zheyu felt a strange transformation in his body. It was as if he had become a wisp of wind, moving freely within a gale like a fish in water. He raised his right hand, and a strand of breeze appeared, mysterious and subtle. He had not used true origin, nor the golden energy within him, but the special energy cultivated through the Saha Scripture. This energy, together with the totem-like inscriptions engraved upon his body, had fused into his physique.

”Martial cultivation is not crude! It can possess many wondrous qualities!”

Lin Zheyu looked at the strand of breeze in his palm, the light in his eyes growing brighter. From the Saha Scripture, he vaguely glimpsed a future path for martial cultivation, though it was not yet fully formed.

”In this world, there are ancient yao, evil sects, the Immortal Dao, barbarians, sea clans, yaos, demons, shamanic cultivators, demon cultivators... If I can absorb these powerful cultivation paths and integrate them into martial cultivation, I may be able to forge a path never seen before,” Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

These factions and cultivation systems were all things Lin Zheyu had learned from Mu Yin. In order to survive, she answered whatever he asked. Whether her answers were correct or not, whether true or false, she always had something to say. Lin Zheyu treated everything as reference. Though uncertain in truth, they still held great value.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 83]

[Skills: Primordial Concealment Technique (Perfection), Primordial Thunderfire Pill Technique (Perfection), Saha Scripture (Third Stage: 100%), Soul-Chasing Step (Third Stage: 100%)]

Lin Zheyu looked at the data within his consciousness. The Saha Scripture had reached the Perfection of the third stage, and his Origin Force was down to only 83 units. The Saha Scripture could only be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment realm, with a total of five stages. The later stages were increasingly difficult to cultivate, yet offered minimal improvement in strength. Although the technique was extraordinary, few people practiced it due to its extreme difficulty.

If Lin Zheyu wanted to reach the Perfection of the fifth stage, the remaining 83 units of Origin Force were far from sufficient. His main goal in cultivating this technique was to create a stronger Primordial Golden Body. In his view, reaching the Perfection of the third stage was already enough. The later stages did not differ much. What they required was merely time and refinement.

”Primordial Golden Body...” Lin Zheyu murmured softly as the data for the Primordial Golden Body appeared in his mind.

However, this was not the version of the technique he wanted. He intended to integrate the insights from the Saha Scripture into it. The Saha Scripture used a special type of rune to inscribe totem-like patterns. Lin Zheyu wanted to replace those runes with the golden runes within his own body.

Lin Zheyu closed his eyes, comprehending the Saha Scripture. He consolidated the insights he had gained and linked them to the Primordial Golden Body, considering how to integrate them into it.

Time passed slowly. In the dark void, the flow of time could not be perceived. Lin Zheyu suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of delight appearing on his face. It worked.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 83]

[Skills: Primordial Concealment Technique (Perfection), Primordial Golden Body (Initiation Dormancy), Soul-Chasing Step (Third Stage: 100%)]

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness. The Primordial Golden Body was now clearly listed.

Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly and said, ”Unfortunately, it can only be cultivated to the second stage for now.”

He had only created two stages of the Primordial Golden Body so far. The first stage integrated various demon arts and body-refining techniques, focusing on tempering and strengthening the physique while laying the foundation for the Saha Scripture.

The second stage began to mobilize the golden runes, using them as a base to inscribe totems and incorporate their power into the body. Although theoretically viable, Lin Zheyu did not know whether the results would be satisfactory.

”I’ll try enhancing it first,” Lin Zheyu said impatiently.

His Perception Domain expanded outward. With a movement, he slaughtered all the surrounding yaos before leaping back into the demonic river.

Use 3 units of Origin Force to cultivate the Primordial Golden Body.

The thought was transmitted, and Lin Zheyu’s spirit wavered. His consciousness entered the familiar mental space. A vast surge of mysterious energy swept up the energy from the demonic river and poured it into his physique.

At the same time, dazzling arcs of lightning burst from Lin Zheyu’s body, accompanied by an invisible scorching flame.
