Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Cyan Snake Lake.

Lin Zheyu sat on a small boat.

The gentle breeze blew, causing the boat to sway slightly.

A huge mysterious energy surged through Lin Zheyu’s body, as the spiritual power and Yin Fiend’s power from the Demon Spirit Stone swept into him with the mysterious energy.

The moment the Yin Fiend’s power entered, continuous hissing sounds emanated, and thick black smoke steamed from Lin Zheyu’s body.

At the same time, faint golden light blossomed from his body.

After a few breaths.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, showing a brilliant golden gleam in his gaze.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

”An unexpected surprise!”

Lin Zheyu exclaimed softly.

Under his control, his muscles squirmed, and sparse golden mysterious runes appeared on his skin.

These runes, which Lin Zheyu couldn’t understand, were unlike the few formations, prohibitions, and sacrificial scripts he knew.

”The skin has become tougher, strength has increased slightly, and recovery ability has also slightly improved.”

”It seems the effect of these runes is similar to a Living Corpse, enhancing my defense to an extremely strong level.”

Lin Zheyu sensed the improved state and pondered quietly.

The Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill is a Cultivation Technique for refining Living Corpse Demon Puppets. The golden runes it produces have a powerful effect in terms of defense, which was entirely within Lin Zheyu’s expectations.

What he didn’t expect was that while his consciousness space was restoring his body, it transformed the strange runes condensed by the Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill into golden runes.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 131

Skills:

Mixed Element Concealing Breath Skill (Perfection)

Primordial Thunderfire Pill Skill (Perfection)

Soul-Chasing Step (Third Layer 100%)

Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill (First Layer 38%)

”One unit of Source Power only raised the Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill to the First Layer 38%. To raise it to the Sixth-Layer Perfection would probably require forty to fifty units of Source Power.”

”And this is only one Cultivation Technique. To cultivate many techniques to perfection and integrate them to create the strongest Primordial Golden Body, it would take several years.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and contemplated.

Only by raising a Cultivation Technique to Perfection can he have a deeper understanding of it and better understand the changes after perfect cultivation.

”Continue.”

Lin Zheyu lightly exhaled, and with a flip of his hand, five Spirit Stones appeared in his palm.

Just one unit of Source Power had cost about one Spirit Stone.

’Use ten units of Source Power to cultivate the Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill.’

The thought transmitted, and his spirit was dazed for a moment.

Vast mysterious energy surged out, sweeping the energy from the Spirit Stones into his body.

In an instant, Lin Zheyu was enveloped in an extremely dense aura of Yin Fiend’s power.

The temperature around him suddenly dropped, and the cyan water snakes nearby, smelling danger, flicked their tongues and vanished without a trace.

Hiss hiss...

Strange sounds emanated from Lin Zheyu’s body as the Yin Fiend’s power quickly corroded his physique under the action of mysterious energy.

One by one, eerie runes glowing with ghostly light rapidly condensed out.

Rumble ----

In Lin Zheyu’s veins, blood flowed rapidly like waves, emitting dazzling golden light.

These lights, under the action of mysterious energy, merged into the eerie runes, and the ghostly light on the runes gradually faded, completely transforming into golden runes.

Six days later.

Cyan Snake Lake.

Lin Zheyu had been here for a full six days.

Located deep in the mountains, Cyan Snake Lake was very quiet besides the cyan water snakes, with almost no disturbances, making it an ideal place for secluded cultivation.

During these six days, besides using Source Power to enhance his techniques, he spent the remaining time studying the newly acquired Body Refining Techniques.

The pure Immortal Tao Body Refining Techniques conflicted somewhat with Martial Dao, requiring subtle modifications for cultivation.

Some even couldn’t be cultivated after Lin Zheyu’s modifications, only serving as reference material.

Luckily, special Demon Skills like the Seven Evils Ghost Canon and Nine Revolutions True Demon Body posed little trouble for Martial Artists during cultivation.

Morning.

Thick mist shrouded the entire lake.

Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged on the boat, radiating brilliant golden light.

Dense golden runes wandered inside him, forming complex, mysterious, and powerful patterns together.

These golden runes seemed to become one entity, constantly breathing and emitting an inexplicable rhythm, cleansing Lin Zheyu’s muscles, skin, membranes, and bones.

Phew~~~

Lin Zheyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air, the breath forming a sword that pierced the entire mist over the lake’s surface.

”Finally done.”

”Only two techniques have consumed me 117 units of Source Power and 418 Demon Spirit Stones.”

”This consumption is truly a bit much.”

Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 15

Skills:

Mixed Element Concealing Breath Skill (Perfection)

Primordial Thunderfire Pill Skill (Perfection)

Soul-Chasing Step (Third Layer 100%)

Seven Evils Ghost Canon (Fifth Layer 100%)

Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill (Sixth Layer 100%)

He looked at the data in his consciousness.

During this time, by using twenty units of Source Power daily to cultivate and enhance techniques, he greatly taxed his spirit and had no time to push his limits.

After six days, consuming over a hundred units of Source Power, he was left with only 15 units, having finally cultivated the Seven Evils Ghost Canon and Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill to Perfection.

This was thanks to the strong commonality between the two techniques, reducing the difficulty of cultivating the later Seven Evils Ghost Canon significantly.
