Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Rumble——

In the center of the desolate and silent rugged hills, continuous dull booming sounds emanated from the enormous lake.

After about ten minutes, the continuous booming finally stopped.

Boom!

On a rocky mound a dozen kilometers away from the Demon Lake, the solid ground suddenly exploded, and a burly, sinister figure resembling a demon shot out from the exploded ground.

Immediately afterward, gooey liquid gushed from the ground.

This was a passage about two meters in diameter, with the winding underground pathway connecting to the Earth Heart Lake located dozens of meters beneath the surface.

”That’s enough.”

”Eight escape routes should suffice.”

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

He pondered carefully for a moment, double-checking to ensure nothing had been overlooked.

It’s a pity he didn’t understand arrays or restrictions; otherwise, using Source Power enhanced with arrays would make it less troublesome.

But for now, it would have to do.

Hiding deep underground in the Earth Heart Lake, over seventy or eighty meters deep, to cultivate and enhance, with winding and interconnected pathways, could effectively prevent the aura from leaking out.

Even if the aura really leaked out when using Source Power, attracting powerful demons or enemies, Lin Zheyu would have enough time to escape and conceal himself.

Whew~~

After ensuring nothing significant was missed, Lin Zheyu let out a small sigh of relief.

A powerful perceptive field expanded around him, and the flesh wings behind Lin Zheyu suddenly spread open, his figure flickering and disappearing instantly.

These flesh wings were quite useful, granting Lin Zheyu the ability to fly without relying on Spiritual Object Control.

Though Spiritual Object Control could enable flight, its agility and speed couldn’t compare with flying using flesh wings.

However, the wings were only usable whilst in demonized form. Once Source Power was used to revert to human form, they couldn’t be used anymore.

If he wished to use them in human form, he would have to wait until the second layer of the Primordial Golden Body was cultivated to perfection, to see if he could condense the Golden Body Dharma Aspect as he envisioned.

...

More than half an hour later.

Lin Zheyu thoroughly checked inside and out, killed a few missed fish, then dove into the Demon Lake with a splash.

He dove to the lake bottom and navigated through the winding pathways opened there, and soon, the passage before him suddenly opened up spaciously.

A space of more than fifty cubic meters, the Earth Heart Lake appeared before Lin Zheyu.

This was the place he prepared to enhance his strength.

’Use three units of Source Power to cultivate the Primordial Golden Body.’

Lin Zheyu wasted no time, conveying this thought.

His mind momentarily blurred, entering the space of consciousness, starting endless cultivation.

This time, the excavation was somewhat deep, and the water from the Demon River, flowing in, caused the pure demonic energy within to substantially lose and seep into the demon soil.

To prevent the energy needed during Source Power enhancement from running out, Lin Zheyu only used three units of Source Power.

A massive, mysterious energy surged from the depths of his cells, sweeping up the pure energy of the Demon River, flowing into his body.

The gigantic demonized form instantly shrank rapidly, reverting to human size.

Dazzling golden light erupted from Lin Zheyu’s body, with golden runes condensing one after another.

The totem engraved on his body became increasingly perfected.

Due to the totem’s perfection, the hidden demon pattern rules within the golden runes were activated, slowly changing the totemic patterns.

The grim and terrifying totem, with its massive and mighty physique, began to become slender, imparting a graceful and seamless perfect feeling.

The transformation after further enhancing the Primordial Golden Body.

The totem constructed upon the foundation of golden runes underwent yet another transformation.

The totem on his body merged Martial Dao, Barbarian Totem Cultivation Skill, the integrated Pusa Scripture of immortal ways, and demon’s demon patterns.

Even Lin Zheyu couldn’t predict what changes might occur after the second layer reached perfection.

Within the golden runes, the hidden demon pattern rules were activated by the condensation of the totem, allowing it to evolve towards demonic transformation.

Still, this tendency, apparently altered by the enhancement of the Primordial Golden Body, showed new changes.

Perhaps due to the integration of suitable Human Race golden runes, immortal knowledge, Martial Dao, along with the Human Race-aligned Barbarian Totem Skill.

The original demonic totem shadow subtly displayed a humanizing tendency, increasingly aligning with the aesthetic of the Human Race, lacking the ferocity and terror typical of demons.

Hisssss~~~

Endless streams of black fog steamed off Lin Zheyu’s body, causing the entire Earth Heart Lake to churn as if it were boiling.

The brilliant golden light was concealed by the black mist and Demon Lake, coupled with being buried deeply underground, seventy or eighty meters deep.

On the surface, only extremely faint auras leaked from the passages connecting to the Earth Heart Lake.

The magical energy tide in the air grew increasingly turbulent, with wild tides sweeping through.

The faint aura emitted from Lin Zheyu’s cultivation was swept up by the violent demonic energy tide, vanishing instantly.

A few breaths later.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of impure air.

”It changed again.”

Lin Zheyu murmured gently, sensing the golden body patterns condensed upon him.

The originally grim and terrifying appearance became slender and delicate, increasingly matching the aesthetic image of humans.

If those densely packed nodules on the golden body patterns dissolved away, it would be even more perfect.

”The deviation between the golden body totem and the Pusa Scripture’s totem is growing larger.”

”As the Primordial Golden Body enhances, the totem built upon the Pusa Scripture’s foundation is becoming less influenced by the Pusa Scripture and more by the demon pattern.”
