Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

”He does have some strength.”

”Huh, this guy’s physique seems quite extraordinary.”

Qian Baiyan’s spiritual sense swept over Lin Zheyu, his face briefly showing a hint of suspicion.

A Martial Artist with such a strong physique?

However, before he could investigate further, a sudden rumble echoed through the forest.

That seemingly ordinary Martial Artist suddenly exploded with terrifying speed, darting toward Qian Baiyan’s direction.

”Not good!”

Qian Baiyan exclaimed, waving his hand, as three talismans flew out instantly.

One exploded abruptly, transforming into an energy shield that protected him.

The other two, one sparked into dazzling lightning, which condensed into a lightning net, enveloping Lin Zheyu.

The last one formed a red glow, piercing toward the center of Lin Zheyu’s forehead like a sharp sword.

Lin Zheyu’s perception field was pushed to the extremity, and that red light slowed drastically in his perception.

Lin Zheyu slightly shifted his body, dodging the red glow.

Faced with the lightning net covering him, he couldn’t avoid it at all.

His heart steeled, True Essence burst forth, striking toward the lighting net.

Swish—

The blade struck the lightning net, but it seemed as if it cut through air, Lin Zheyu felt no resistance at all.

Lin Zheyu’s expression slightly tensed.

The means of the Cultivator were, indeed, strange and unpredictable.

The lightning net contracted instantly, wrapping around Lin Zheyu.

Crackle—

Intense electricity surged into Lin Zheyu’s body, producing a crackling sound.

Yet the moment the lightning entered Lin Zheyu’s body, a faint golden light suddenly burst forth, golden runes flowing on his surface, resisting the violent lightning energy.

”Huh!”

Lin Zheyu exclaimed softly, surprised that the golden runes had such an effect, he thought he would have to endure some suffering.

The violent arcs of lightning leaped on his body, but Lin Zheyu’s speed did not slow at all, the Setting Sun Blade sliced toward Qian Baiyan’s neck.

The Setting Sun Blade cleaved through the energy shield, its power slightly diminished.

Clang!

A trace of seriousness flickered in Qian Baiyan’s eyes, as his right hand wielded a longsword to parry upwards, and a clear sound echoed.

Qian Baiyan felt a huge force strike, causing chaos in the spiritual power within him.

”So strong!”

”Who is this guy!”

A sense of crisis flashed in Qian Baiyan’s heart.

Most Cultivators are skilled in long-range attacks, and when facing physically strong opponents like the Barbarian Race or Ancient Demons, they need to guard against being taken down once in close quarters.

Qian Baiyan was the same.

Compared to other Cultivators, he specialized in talisman techniques, but once in close quarters, he lost the advantage.

Facing a powerful opponent, he had no time to deploy talismans.

Whoosh—

At this moment, Muu Feng also reacted.

He and Qian Baiyan had a close relationship and cooperated seamlessly, immediately responding the moment Qian Baiyan was attacked.

”Hah...”

Lin Zheyu chuckled lightly.

Sensing the longsword stabbing toward him from behind, he made a slight shift to avoid his vital spots.

The Setting Sun Blade in his hand continued to cleave toward Qian Baiyan.

This man’s methods were rather strange, even at the risk of getting injured, Lin Zheyu intended to slay him first.

Daring to direct disaster onto others.

If not for his own strength, Lin Zheyu would have been doomed last time.

Encountering them this time, Lin Zheyu would show no mercy.

Whoosh—

Aah!

The blade’s arc passed through, a scream ensued.

Qian Baiyan, just reaching for his storage bag, had the blade strike across his right shoulder.

With a swift slash, the arm severed from shoulder to shoulder.

From Lin Zheyu’s sudden burst to cutting off Qian Baiyan’s arm, the entire process took no more than two breaths.

Lin Zheyu’s attack was extremely abrupt.

In full force, he suddenly burst out at seven times the speed of sound, Qian Baiyan couldn’t react, instantly allowing Lin Zheyu to close in.

In close quarters, as a Cultivator only skilled in talismans, Qian Baiyan couldn’t utilize his capabilities at all.

Puff!

At this point, Muu Feng’s longsword also landed on Lin Zheyu.

The longsword pierced into Lin Zheyu’s back with a puff, entering below the shoulder blade.

Yet, it only pierced less than three centimeters before Muu Feng felt a mighty resistance.

Lin Zheyu’s lips curled into a knowing smile.

Having once defeated and driven away two powerful Barbarian Race members, whom he had now slain, Lin Zheyu’s strength had grown stronger, his defense tougher.

Slaying these two men posed no challenge.

Lin Zheyu gave a cold chuckle, muscles on his body bulging, taut, tightly clamping onto the longsword embedded in his back.

At the same time, the longsword in his hand slashed diagonally upwards, entering from the right side of Qian Baiyan’s waist, and exiting from the left shoulder.

”You!”

”Who are you!”

Qian Baiyan’s eyes widened.

A ferocious glint flashed in his eye.

Even if he died, he wouldn’t let the person before him have an easy time!

As his thought moved, Qian Baiyan’s sea of consciousness exploded, and the surging Spiritual Sense rushed towards Lin Zheyu’s glabella like raging waves.

Lin Zheyu’s gaze became momentarily distracted.

The enormous Spiritual Sense rushed into Lin Zheyu’s mind, and under his control, forty kinds of true intentions transformed into a vortex, absorbing the opponent’s Spiritual Sense.

Soon, Lin Zheyu regained his clarity.

”Trying to run?”

Lin Zheyu looked at Muu Feng and sneered coldly.

In that brief moment of distraction, Muu Feng realized something was amiss and immediately turned to flee.

However, Lin Zheyu was not about to let him escape.

Even though this person wasn’t one of the three who framed him earlier, Lin Zheyu was not one to show great mercy and leave hidden dangers for himself.

Whoosh—

A yellow escape light flashed, and Muu Feng pushed his speed to the extreme.

Even so, compared to Lin Zheyu, his speed was still far inferior.

Lin Zheyu discovered that his speed was much faster than the Escape Technique used by cultivators.

When he exerted all his strength to travel, he could only run on the ground, primarily relying on an extraordinarily terrifying explosive power.

The cultivators used the Escape Technique to fly in the sky.

This was the difference between Lin Zheyu and the cultivators.

Although he could use Spiritual Sense to control objects and fly in the sky, the speed was very, very slow. Only on the ground could he unleash his fastest speed.

Boom!

Boom, boom!

Terrifying roars echoed through the mountains and forests as Lin Zheyu exploded with seven times the speed of sound, ignoring any obstacles and blasting the trees in front of him to pieces one by one.

With his enhanced defense, this level of damage was nothing to him.

”Damn, what kind of monster is this guy!”

Muu Feng was astounded by the commotion coming from the mountains and forests.

In no time, he realized that the opponent had already reached below him.

Just a booming sound was heard.

Lin Zheyu kicked with both legs and shot up like a cannonball towards him.

Bang!

Bam, bam, bam!

The sound of a fierce battle erupted, and Muu Feng crashed to the ground like a meteor.

A tremendous roar resounded through the mountains and forests, creating a huge crater.

Muu Feng lay in the crater, barely conscious, his head tilting to the side as he fainted.

”I’ve raised my defense, but I’m still lacking sufficiently powerful offensive means.”

”Next time I approach a space-time node, I’ll see if I can comprehend deeper laws of space by utilizing the energy inside for cultivation.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

Through this battle, he gained a better understanding of his own defense.

The two he killed were not weak among those in Foundation Establishment.

Even though Muu Feng broke through Lin Zheyu’s defense, such a minor injury was nothing. With Lin Zheyu’s terrifying recovery power, he could completely recover in just a few breaths.

It goes to show how strong Lin Zheyu’s defense has become.

[Heavenly Dao rewards diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 245

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%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness.

Six months had passed, and he accumulated over two hundred units of Source Power.

It seemed quite a lot.

However, Lin Zheyu’s ambition was grand. He wanted to integrate numerous powerful Body Refining Techniques to create his own formidable Primordial Golden Body.

Thus treading a path of unprecedented power!

This was Lin Zheyu’s reliance on elevating his strength to rival the Golden Core among Immortals.

Therefore, two hundred units of Source Power were far from enough.

He planned to wait for about another year to accumulate more Source Power before proceeding.

If during this period, a new space-time node appeared nearby, that would be best.

Compared to the space-time node near Ruyang City, within the domain of the Nine Nether Sect, a new space-time node would be somewhat safer.
