Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 549: Chapter 205: Powerful (Part 2)

”Actually, there’s nothing particularly magical about demon puppets. They’re just physically strong, have abnormal recovery abilities, lack consciousness, and don’t feel pain...”

”In terms of physique and defense alone, my body and defense aren’t much less than that of a living corpse demon puppet, but my recovery ability lags significantly.”

”As long as I make up for the shortcoming in recovery ability, in terms of physique alone, I could compare with a living corpse demon puppet.”

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

After understanding the essence of demon puppets, Lin Zheyu’s fear of demons diminished considerably, giving him a sense of ’so it’s just like that.’

After a night’s battle, the demon puppets retreated, and the beast tide didn’t reappear.

The disciples of the Infinite Sect on Tengshe Mountain finally had some time to catch their breath.

Lin Zheyu returned to the usual martial arts training square and started his daily cultivation.

In the afternoon.

In the distant sky, the vast, heavy, pitch-black, terrifyingly sinister cloud had already shrunk by more than half.

By evening, it had completely reverted to the black donut-shaped cloud that Lin Zheyu first discovered.

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it was under control.

If that spatial node were to fully open, and demons appeared endlessly, it would be troublesome.

With Lin Zheyu’s current strength, he could only deal with those at the Huajin level. Facing those at the Peak of Transforming Force, he would have to flee. Not to mention, even the weakest demons were at the Grandmaster level.

At night.

The number of demon puppets was much less than the previous day, and Lin Zheyu stood by all night, barely taking action.

By the next day, the anomaly in the sky had completely disappeared.

The sky returned to its usual state, clear and vast, a brilliant blue as if washed clean.

Everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

Roar!

Roar, roar!

The demon puppet that Lin Zheyu had restrained and imprisoned with iron chains had become completely dormant during the day since the disappearance of that spatial node.

As long as no one entered and it wasn’t stimulated, it remained listless.

At night, it would become active and start roaring incessantly.

”Junior Brother, your demon puppet is so noisy; hurry up and kill it. It’s so noisy I can’t sleep well at night,” Gu Ye said.

”Let’s observe it for a few more days.”

”The Yin Sha force in the air disappeared along with that spatial node as well.”

”After so many days, the demon puppet has indeed become weaker. It’s evident that demon puppets need to absorb Yin Sha force to maintain their strong power.”

”I plan to wait until it gets weaker, then feed it some beast blood to see if the demon puppet can recover,” Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

This research involves the energy source of demon puppets.

Martial artists get their Qi Blood energy through consuming food, but what about demon puppets?

Lin Zheyu wanted to see if demon puppets could only gain energy by absorbing Yin Sha force.

Or, can they convert the energy gained from consuming food and flesh into Yin Sha force?

”Where did you get so many ideas?”

”I find your method of researching demon puppets quite interesting. Where did you learn it?” Gu Ye asked curiously.

She had been watching Lin Zheyu’s various methods of researching that demon puppet these past days and found it dazzling.

”Of course, I used my brain to think it up!”

”I’m not like you, Senior Sister, with muscles for brains, just a musclehead who knows only martial arts,” Lin Zheyu teased with a laugh.

Over the past month, having become quite familiar with Senior Sister Gu Ye, Lin Zheyu often joked with her.

”Looking for a fight, aren’t you?”

”Don’t think you’re all that now. If I wanted to beat you up, there’s no way you’d escape,” Gu Ye glared at Lin Zheyu, shaking her fist.

”Hehe, I respect you, Senior Sister.”

Lin Zheyu chuckled, raised his wine jug, and drank it all in one go.

”Ha—”

Gu Ye snorted lightly, having grown used to this over the past days.

After a jug of wine, she leaped lightly, landing softly in the center of the open space.

”Junior Brother, let’s spar again. I refuse to believe that with my Huajin level mastery and decades of battle experience, I can’t beat you!”

Gu Ye curved her hand toward Lin Zheyu, her combat intent high.

During her time on Tengshe Mountain, she constrained her strength to match Lin Zheyu’s level for martial sparring.

At first, she could easily suppress Lin Zheyu.

But later, Lin Zheyu gradually gained the ability to counterattack, and after that, they often ended up in draws.

Now, Gu Ye found that at the same level, she couldn’t beat Lin Zheyu!

This was a blow to Gu Ye’s pride.

”Then, Senior Sister, you’re going to be disappointed.”

”I’m the man destined to top the Hidden Dragon List; you can’t beat me.”

Step by step, Lin Zheyu approached Gu Ye, exuding his Tyrannical True Intent.

Over the past ten days, Lin Zheyu had made remarkable progress.

He had spent 13 units of Source Power to cultivate the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill, exhausting the potential of this cultivation technique.

Now, in terms of sheer physical strength, Lin Zheyu could easily deliver supersonic attack speeds, with booms sounding from breaking the sound barrier.

With golden Qi Blood as well, Lin Zheyu’s lightweight skill finally broke the supersonic barrier.

In a full power burst, his physique pierced through the sound barrier, creating a terrifying roar with immense might.

Achieving supersonic speeds with just flesh and blood, without using true energy to reduce wind resistance, exerted tremendous pressure on the body.

Lin Zheyu had no idea how strong his physique had become.

After perfecting the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill with nowhere left to rise, Lin Zheyu used another three units of Source Power to cultivate the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill.
