Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Sizzle~

Sizzle sizzle~

A barely noticeable sizzling sound was emitted.

After deploying the True Essence Shield, the dense Yin force surged toward it madly, like moths to a flame.

The True Essence and Yin force extinguished each other, creating a sizzling sound and emitting faint black smoke.

Lin Zheyu hurriedly controlled the True Essence, quickly contracting it.

The gray misty True Essence Shield around him vanished in an instant, and immediately after, a thin layer of Energy Shield was formed beneath his skin.

Under the protection of the Energy Shield, the erosion by the Yin force finally ceased.

”Even with my trash aptitude, I felt a strong sense of discomfort. Those cultivation geniuses must find it even harder to adapt.”

”No wonder the once-glorious path of immortality has withered completely and can only be practiced in blessed lands,” Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

After withdrawing the True Essence Shield back into his body, the raging Yin force finally calmed down, no longer rushing toward him like moths to a flame.

The human physique naturally possesses a defensive barrier, blocking not only spiritual energy outside but also the Yin force.

Although Lin Zheyu is gifted, his talent is rubbish at best, with a very low compatibility between his body and spiritual power.

Once the True Essence was withdrawn into his body, under the protection of the natural barrier, the consumption of True Essence by the Yin force greatly reduced.

”True Essence indeed far surpasses ordinary True Force in strength, but it does not demonstrate an effective restraint against the Yin force.”

”A single unit of True Essence can consume vast amounts of Yin force, relying on the powerful energy essence of the True Essence itself, not the special effects it possesses.”

”I have accumulated so much Thunderfire True Intent and Pure Yang True Intent, yet they have hardly played any significant part...”

Feeling the rapid depletion of his True Essence, Lin Zheyu’s brow slightly furrowed.

The concentration of the Yin force is still very high, and should it continue to rise to a certain density,

at that time, his True Essence certainly won’t last long.

”Transforming Force Martial Artists describe the concept of having a Main Cultivation Intent.”

”Yet the 42 types of True Intent I’ve gathered are of equivalent power, with no specific Main Cultivation Intent, resulting in a misty gray True Essence.”

”This is caused by the mixture of different True Intents...”

”Different True Intents can conflict with one another, and the special effects brought by the True Essence of different True Intents may also conflict, leading to reduced effectiveness of True Essence’s special effects.”

”Aside from Thunderfire True Intent and Pure Yang True Intent, I’ve cultivated opposing True Intents such as Yin Chill True Intent, True Intent of Ice, Jade Wave True Intent, and more.”

”Hmm...”

”Can I suppress other True Intents and unleash the special effects of Thunderfire True Intent and Pure Yang True Intent?”

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

The Martial Artists of Bitao Pavilion, although they practiced various True Intents, focus primarily on the Jade Wave True Intent, resulting in a light blue True Essence.

Even with the Primordial Infinite True Skill, according to its description, Martial Artists may focus on one or a few True Intents based on their experience, personality, and character.

The True Force they condense will exhibit a certain color.

Lin Zheyu is different in this regard.

He does not continue to delve deeper into any specific True Intent after condensing it but rather shifts his focus to the cultivation of other True Intents.

His insight into different True Intents is more or less similar, with no distinction between a Main and Auxiliary Cultivation Intent among the 42 types he condensed.

This results in the cultivated True Essence having no particularly outstanding and powerful special effects, but appearing as a chaotic gray, possessing a bit of various special effects, none of which are very strong.

But there are benefits as well.

The influx of numerous True Intents into True Force led to a qualitative change in True Force.

The True Force transformed into liquid True Essence, in which many True Intents played a considerable role.

”Although the True Intent has merged into the True Essence, the understanding remains, and the connection between spirit and True Essence is extremely close.”

”If I use the True Intents within my spirit to stimulate and suppress specific True Intents, it might be feasible...” Lin Zheyu murmured softly to himself.

Having thought of this, he began to experiment.

He wildly stimulated the Thunderfire True Intent and Pure Yang True Intent contained in his True Essence, suppressing those that would weaken the effects of these True Intents.

Woosh~

Woosh woosh~

Breathing heavily, Lin Zheyu’s chest heaved as beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

”No, it’s too difficult.”

”My approach was wrong. With my current mental will and control, it’s impossible to evoke the special effects of any of my True Essences significantly.”

”But if I focus only on controlling a small portion, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Lin Zheyu mused.

He extended his right hand, and a True Essence Energy Ball the size of an egg slowly took shape.

The gray True Essence Energy Ball gradually displayed a mix of bright colors. Gradually, the mixed colors diminished and became more unified.

Before long, the Energy Ball contained only three main colors: white, red, and gold.

The temperature of the True Essence gradually increased, emitting a blazing aura, with faint arcs of lightning seemingly visible dancing around the True Essence Ball.

It’s done!

Lin Zheyu raised his eyebrows slightly, bringing his right hand down forcefully onto the nearby tree trunk.

With a bang, the Energy Ball embedded itself into the trunk, blasting an egg-sized hole into the large tree.

The part around the hole seemed to have been scorched by fierce flames. With a whoosh, the flames surged fiercely from the hole, spreading across the entire tree.

”This is why True Force fundamentally surpasses Qi Blood in power!”

”And compared to True Force, my True Essence is far stronger than ordinary True Force.”

Looking at the burning tree trunk, Lin Zheyu’s heart couldn’t contain his excitement.
