Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

The tension in his heart slightly eased.

His perception expanded rapidly, spreading in all directions.

A time-space node that appeared over two years ago, indeed, Lin Zheyu soon discovered traces of the Magic River brimming with dense demonic energy.

Lin Zheyu found that the Magic River almost covered the entire Demon God Barrier, constantly branching out and spreading towards the periphery.

Within the Magic River, the thick liquid saturated with demonic energy corroded everything, causing the land within the Demon God Barrier to undergo a bizarre transformation.

What was once a vibrant land became dead and turned into demonic soil, which began to sprout plants unique to the demon realm.

Out of curiosity, Lin Zheyu dug deeper and was surprised to find that nearly a hundred meters underground was also affected by the demonic energy.

Though not entirely transformed into demonic soil, it was not far from it.

Even a large number of demonic creatures lived in the land, sustaining themselves on the demonic soil and secreting special viscous liquids.

Lin Zheyu merely explored out of curiosity and did not linger too long.

He continued upstream along the river’s course.

If he reached the river’s end, it would lead to the node connecting to the demonic nest.

Swish, swish, swish—

Lin Zheyu quickly advanced in the darkness.

Many demonic creatures passed by him, most of which did not even glance at him; only a few sniffed him curiously before turning away.

Splash, splash~~~

The splashing sound ahead grew louder as Lin Zheyu got closer to the center of the time-space node.

He advanced another dozen kilometers.

Lin Zheyu suddenly stopped and looked up at the distant sky.

In the far distance, a beam of golden light penetrated the endless darkness, radiating in all directions.

The position of the golden light should be the center of the time-space node.

”Why is there golden light here?”

A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.

He carefully sensed that, apart from cultivators hidden in the shadows hunting demonic creatures and searching for medicinal herbs, there were no violent combat fluctuations from the time-space node.

Squinting slightly, Lin Zheyu moved another two kilometers forward, and the golden light became more pronounced.

He discovered that the center of the golden light revealed a faint shadow of a bowl.

”Has Buddhism made a move?”

Such a thought flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.

The bowl is a representative artifact of Buddhism, combined with the sacred light full of Buddhist aura; it was undoubtedly Buddhism.

Since Great Wei and the Western Buddhism had reached a cooperation, it was not surprising that a powerful Buddhist figure took action.

Lin Zheyu was merely curious about whether Buddhism had taken action.

He had no intention of investigating further.

Boom!

Howl!

Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation, accompanied by earth-shattering roars from demon creatures, came from afar.

The commotion rapidly moved towards Lin Zheyu.

”Trouble...”

Lin Zheyu muttered softly.

He swiftly moved to avoid attracting the attention of that cultivator.

Disguised as a demon puppet, Lin Zheyu did not fear danger from demonic creatures but rather from cultivators.

If a stronger cultivator mistook him for a demon and killed him casually, it would be a huge loss.

Bang—

Lin Zheyu suddenly stomped down, advancing further towards the time-space node.

The closer he got to the center, the denser the demonic energy became, and more Foundation Establishment level demons appeared around him.

”I can’t go any further. If I do, I might encounter Golden Core level demons.”

”My disguise isn’t flawless; if I meet a Golden Core level demon, there’s a high chance of being discovered.”

Lin Zheyu halted his steps, muttering to himself.

As he moved forward, the number of demons he encountered increased. Lin Zheyu noticed that the stronger the demon, the more sensitive they were to his disguise.

Any Foundation Establishment level demon that noticed him would look at him suspiciously, some even attempting to swat him dead.

But most did not attack a second time if they failed to kill him, except for a few particularly ferocious ones that kept staring at him.

Splash, splash~~

The Magic River flowed with a splashing sound.

The energy contained in this section of the Magic River was extremely remarkable, with countless demonic creatures lurking within.

Lin Zheyu’s thoughts shifted, accelerating his absorption of demonic energy, and the purple-black aura around him grew thicker.

Covered in the purple-black aura, he slowly stepped into the Magic River.

”Let’s enhance the Nine Revolutions True Demon Body first; I’ve long wanted to cultivate this technique.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

The Nine Revolutions True Demon Body differs from the Seven Evils Ghost Canon and the Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill.

The latter two primarily enhance physical defense, refining oneself into a Corpse Refining Demon Puppet-like existence.

However, the Nine Revolutions True Demon Body transforms its physique through nine transformations into a pure demon-like constitution.

Strength, speed, attack, recovery, etc., all resemble demons.

If this technique could undergo beneficial changes under the influence of the golden energy in Source Power and blood as the Seven Evils Ghost Canon and Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill did, it would be perfect.

By then, theoretically, it could form a second energy cycle system using the mystical runes in the flesh and blood as a foundation, supplemented by demonic energy!

”If successful, even if this world completely falls, it wouldn’t greatly affect me.”

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

This was the worst-case scenario.

Even if he could survive, facing a silent, lifeless world would undoubtedly be dull!
