Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

With his current powerful spiritual soul, Lin Zheyu felt that even a hundred true intentions would not affect his true self.

”When I return to the Sect, I’ll test the impact of true intention on the essence of True Essence. If it works well, there’s no harm in trying.”

Lin Zheyu thought to himself and noted it down to consider after returning to the Sect.

He waved his hand casually, and forty-two true intentions dispersed and began to revolve around him spontaneously.

”Interesting...”

Lin Zheyu looked at the true intentions rotating around him and smiled.

He glanced at the grayish Sea of Consciousness: ”After the soul has strengthened, it seems I can perceive the outside world even without condensing Spiritual Sense.”

”Let’s give it a try...”

Lin Zheyu contemplated inwardly.

Relying on the spiritual soul instead of the body to perceive the outside world, this was Lin Zheyu’s first time.

At first, he couldn’t grasp the trick.

After pondering for quite a while, leveraging the method of condensing Divine Sense from the Guiyuan Skill, Lin Zheyu quickly found a way.

As Lin Zheyu’s thoughts emanated, the weak spiritual fluctuations permeated out of the Sea of Consciousness, leaving the body.

This was the limit Lin Zheyu could achieve.

He originally wanted to try and see if he could achieve the legendary out-of-body experience, but the Sea of Consciousness had too strong a hold on the soul, making it impossible.

”It worked!”

A wave of joy surged in Lin Zheyu’s heart.

As the spirit just left the body, Lin Zheyu controlled it to expand outwards, wanting to test how large an area the spirit could expand to.

”Hiss——”

But soon, Lin Zheyu drew in a sharp breath; the spirit, having just departed the body, swiftly retracted back into the Sea of Consciousness.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Zheyu frowned at the traces of black energy carried by the soul.

This black energy was what his spirit had encountered after leaving the body just now.

”What’s going on?”

”Aren’t cultivators supposed to use Spiritual Sense here?”

”Could it be that normal Spiritual Power can’t resist the erosion of yin force, and only condensed into Spiritual Sense can it work?”

Lin Zheyu wondered to himself.

Once back in the Sea of Consciousness, the traces of black energy carried by the spirit were quickly dispelled by the immense soul energy, causing him little harm.

However, that bone-chilling coldness the spirit felt right after leaving the body, capable of seemingly freezing the soul, left a lasting impression on Lin Zheyu.

”No, I know nothing about the methods used by cultivators; everything is just my preconceived guesses.”

”Cultivators might not be able to use Spiritual Sense freely within the Demon God Barrier, perhaps requiring the aid of other Magical Artifacts or using different Secret Techniques.”

Lin Zheyu contemplated inwardly.

Initially, he had preconceived that the unfamiliar cultivator who spotted him from so far away had done so due to Spiritual Sense.

But that’s merely Lin Zheyu’s baseless assumption.

”Looks like I’ll have to try the function of Spiritual Power outside the Demon God Barrier.”

Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.

He originally wanted to test whether pure Spiritual Power could move objects, or whether it needs to be condensed into Divine Sense.

Now, it’s impossible to test.

The environment does not allow it.

Lin Zheyu redirected his focus to the realm of perception.

”Eight hundred... nine hundred... a thousand... a thousand and one... a thousand and one...”

”About one thousand one hundred meters, close to one thousand two hundred meters or so.”

”I didn’t expect that after forming a spiritual body, there would be such a significant effect on enhancing the perception realm.”

Lin Zheyu said with surprise and joy.

After pushing the perception realm to the limit, everything within about one thousand one hundred meters appeared in his consciousness.

Forming a colorless 3D imagery world.

”The perception realm is getting stronger and stronger, the virtual imagery formed in consciousness is becoming more complete, even the disturbances of the wind can be simulated...”

Lin Zheyu marveled at the new perception realm, filled with awe.

What was originally just an ordinary realm like a Grandmaster’s domain, with the continuous enhancement of his physical body and spiritual soul, the perception realm became increasingly potent.

Gradually transcending the scope of the Martial Dao.

”The potential of the perception realm is somewhat beyond imagination.”

”If it continues to transform, in some ways, the perception realm might rival a cultivator’s Spiritual Sense.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

His perception realm is quite miraculous, a product of high-level Martial Dao cultivation, with the enlargement of the spiritual soul feeding back into the body.

To cultivate a perception realm, a strong physical body and spiritual soul are indispensable.

There might be other influencing factors.

Without sufficient data or references, Lin Zheyu hasn’t figured it out yet.

However, Lin Zheyu had a hypothesis in mind.

He speculated that his ability to cultivate a perception realm might be related to the terrifyingly deep foundation established in the Qi Blood Realm, and the reconstruction of strong innate abilities after condensing golden Qi Blood.

Besides himself, Lin Zheyu has not seen any similar descriptions in any texts, classic or fragmentary.

Of course, these are merely Lin Zheyu’s own conjectures.

”Maintaining the perception realm is almost no consumption for me, and I can freely turn it on and off according to my will.”

”I wonder if powerful cultivators can perceive the existence of the perception realm.”

Lin Zheyu was somewhat curious.

His perception realm was more like some innate ability of the organism itself, relying on the fusion of powerful perception and the biological field, forming a special domain.

This special domain is not True Essence, not Spiritual Power, and definitely not Spiritual Power.

Lin Zheyu had tested it, and even a Grandmaster Martial Artist couldn’t detect his perception realm.
