Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

However, for Lin Zheyu, as long as he has the spring water from the Netherworld Cold Spring, it’s enough.

Other elixirs and treasures are used to protect the Martial Artists practicing cultivation techniques, to prevent them from losing their lives midway through cultivation due to the terrifying Netherworld True Intent of the Netherworld Cold Spring.

In the consciousness space, Lin Zheyu is almost immortal.

As long as he doesn’t die after a session of cultivation, he can immediately recover as before, without worrying about the massive damage and side effects brought to the body by the Netherworld Cold Spring.

Time slowly passed by.

After this session of cultivation, the spirit stones in the storage bag were somewhat insufficient.

If the spirit stones cannot be replenished, he can only wait until later to continue using source power for enhancement after going to the Demon God Barrier.

Clang~~

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang deep within Lin Zheyu’s spirit, immersed in cultivation.

The sound was like the jangling of chains, the clash of metals.

Immediately, he felt an invisible and powerful binding sensation.

Nurtured under the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill, the gradually burgeoning life force seemed to be restricted, its speed starting to slow down.

”What’s going on?”

Lin Zheyu abruptly opened his eyes, his brow slightly furrowed.

He carefully perceived the state of his body, wanting to see what unexpected incident had just occurred.

Lin Zheyu was somewhat concerned that something might have gone wrong during cultivation.

After more than ten minutes.

Lin Zheyu’s expression gradually became a bit strange, his eyes slightly widened, a hint of surprise in his gaze.

”Is this the Heavenly Dao Shackles?”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself, a bit strangely.

In his perception, a massive shackle, like an iron chain, seemed to entwine around his body.

The shackle’s illusory shadow was very faint.

Even with Lin Zheyu’s powerful perception, it took him a long time of careful searching to discover the existence of this shadow.

”For the shackle shadow to appear so early, does it mean my physique has reached the human limit?”

Lin Zheyu lightly furrowed his brow.

He had recently studied a lot of knowledge related to the Shackled Realm, gaining a deeper understanding of it.

Shackles, fully called the Heavenly Dao Shackles.

It also has another name, the Chain of Life.

This shackle is a binding inscribed by the Heavenly Dao into the life genes of human beings, a physical limitation.

It limits humans, preventing them from infinitely enhancing and evolving.

The Martial Dao was originally a path of human evolution.

Because of the decline of the Immortal Dao, the strong united to forge another path, creating the Martial Dao as a path of life evolution.

But after reaching the Shackled Realm, the path of evolution almost hits its limit.

One either has to switch to other paths.

Or must break free from the Chain of Life to continue advancing on the path of the Martial Dao.

”Strange, isn’t the shackle shadow only perceivable after unlocking the three Divine Treasures through a special secret technique of spirit ascension?”

”How come I’ve yet to unlock even one Divine Treasure, yet the shackle shadow has appeared, and it was so easily perceived!!?”

Lin Zheyu perceived the shadow entwined around his body, bewildered by this sudden surprise.

Whoosh~~

A gentle breeze blew by.

Lin Zheyu slightly furrowed his brow, carefully feeling the changes since the appearance of the shackle shadow.

Through research, Lin Zheyu discovered that, aside from feeling less smoothness in the strength enhancements during cultivation, there seemed to be no other issues.

”Shackles, shackles that lock the enhancement of strength?”

”Can I still unlock the three Divine Treasures?”

”Won’t I need to first break free from the shackles before unlocking the Divine Treasures?”

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but mutter softly.

He had an urge to immediately use source power to enhance the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill to see if he could continue improving.

However, upon checking his storage bag with his spiritual sense, he found only a few spirit stones left, so Lin Zheyu shook his head speechlessly.

So poor.

”Now that the shackle shadow has appeared, if worse comes to worst, I might as well break free from the shackles and then advance to the Divine Treasures.”

Lin Zheyu shook his head, no longer troubled by the nearly invisible shackle shadow entwining his body.

With a flip of his right hand, a low-grade spirit stone appeared in his palm, and he began to absorb it.

The cultivation of the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill demands a lot of Qi blood.

The Qi blood within his body was nearly depleted.

After recovering some Qi blood, Lin Zheyu took out a jade scroll recording Array Dao knowledge and began to comprehend it.

Understanding the Array Dao is much more challenging than the Martial Dao.

For now, Lin Zheyu mainly aims to systematically master and thoroughly understand the foundational knowledge of arrays that he acquired from U Dina.

As for applying array knowledge by attempting to set up arrays, Lin Zheyu does not have such plans for now.

Applying the theoretical knowledge of arrays to practice is an extremely costly endeavor, and Lin Zheyu doesn’t have enough spirit stones even for his cultivation.

Let alone spending spirit stones on the expensive endeavor of arrays.

Lin Zheyu’s plan is to integrate the array knowledge into the Third Layer of the Primordial Golden Body.

Once he thoroughly comprehends the foundational knowledge of arrays, he plans to use his physique and the golden runes on his body as materials to arrange arrays on himself!

This way, it saves a lot of money.

Integrating arrays into the Primordial Golden Body as a cultivation technique might be practicable according to the data changes in his consciousness.

Two days later.

”Sir, the Hall Master requests your presence.”

A young Martial Artist appeared outside Lin Zheyu’s courtyard and said respectfully.

”The Hall Master is back?”

”Did he mention what it’s about?”

Lin Zheyu asked.

”He mentioned there’s a task that requires your execution,” the young Martial Artist said.

”A task?”

”Go back and tell the Hall Master that I am currently at a critical stage of closed cultivation, unable to execute tasks, and he should assign someone else.”
