Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Demon Cavern.

On a certain stretch of desolate, remote land.

Lin Zheyu was immersed in the Primordial Pool, the golden Celestial Eye in his sea of consciousness staring intently at the process of his Lifebound Witch Pattern condensing within his flesh and blood.

From the perspective of the golden Celestial Eye.

The Lifebound Witch Pattern, just like the Martial Arts Divine Pattern, was also composed of the most basic rule patterns.

These basic rule patterns were like the radicals of the Human Race’s written characters.

Different basic rule patterns, through different modes of combination, condensed into different components of the Lifebound Witch Pattern, forming a powerful Witch Tao rune.

”Interesting.”

”The Witch Race’s witch patterns, compared to the Martial Arts Divine Patterns and magic patterns, actually have such huge differences in the basic rule-symbol patterns they contain.”

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

An intrigued expression surfaced on his face, as though he had just seen a peerlessly beautiful naked woman; his eyes could not help but shine with a sharp light.

”The two seem to belong to two completely different rule systems.”

”The Martial Arts Divine Patterns and magic patterns are different branches of the same rule system, while the witch patterns have not the slightest similarity with the two.”

”Can they really be fused?”

Lin Zheyu pondered inwardly.

Vast Chaos Elemental Power, under Lin Zheyu’s control, surged into his body.

The Chaos Elemental Power that entered his body was like an indispensable catalyst, a primer.

Only under the作用 of Chaos Elemental Power could the basic rule patterns that composed the Lifebound Witch Pattern merge into one and condense into a complete witch pattern.

Watching the witch pattern slowly condense, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Lin Zheyu.

Perhaps he could try to see whether he could integrate the basic rule patterns that composed the Martial Arts Divine Patterns and magic patterns into the Lifebound Witch Pattern!

Once the thought arose, he acted on it.

Under his control, the basic rule patterns that composed the Martial Arts Divine Pattern approached the Lifebound Witch Pattern that was in the process of condensing.

Time flowed by slowly.

The days passed one by one.

The condensation of the Lifebound Witch Pattern was far more difficult than he had imagined.

The first time Lin Zheyu had completely condensed his Lifebound Witch Pattern was by using the Ancestral Witch’s blessing Energy as the primer, with Qiong Yun’s assistance.

Back then, it had taken him about ten days.

And now.

Without the Ancestral Witch’s blessing or Qiong Yun’s assistance, Lin Zheyu could only rely entirely on himself.

Even though he had once condensed the Lifebound Witch Pattern.

Lin Zheyu still spent nearly ten days to recondense the witch pattern.

”No, there’s simply no way to fuse them.”

Looking at the Lifebound Witch Pattern that had been recondensed within his body, Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly.

The witch pattern was different from the Martial Arts Divine Pattern.

By relying on his own power to recondense the entire Lifebound Witch Pattern from start to finish, he gained a deeper understanding of the witch patterns.

The witch patterns were like the most precise, top-tier precision instruments, unable to tolerate the slightest error.

Whereas the Martial Arts Divine Patterns were more like the iron lumps hammered out one blow at a time by a village blacksmith’s apprentice—filled with roughness and crudity.

Correspondingly.

The Martial Arts Divine Patterns had much higher fault tolerance, while the witch patterns could not tolerate the slightest mistake and could not accept even a sliver of other basic rule patterns being merged in.

”Since there’s no way to integrate the basic rule patterns that compose the Martial Arts Divine Patterns into the witch patterns...”

”Then let’s see if it works the other way around.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

Compared to the precision of the witch patterns, the Martial Arts Divine Patterns could indeed be called coarse and utterly crude.

Back when Qiong Yun had first seen Lin Zheyu, she had already looked down on the Martial Arts Divine Patterns he had condensed.

From Qiong Yun’s perspective.

The Martial Arts Divine Patterns were far too crude, far too vulgar, without the slightest sense of beauty.

However, rough and crude things also had their own advantages.

In the crude and shoddy Martial Arts Divine Patterns, forcefully stuffing in the basic rule patterns that composed the witch patterns would clearly be much easier.

Endless Chaos Elemental Power continued pouring into his body without pause.

Nourished by the Chaos Elemental Power, within Lin Zheyu’s flesh and blood, strands of basic Tao Rhythm Patterns exuding a vast, ancient aura began to sprout.

These ancient rule Tao Rhymes were the basic patterns that composed the Lifebound Witch Pattern.

Ever since he had condensed the Lifebound Witch Pattern, these ancient and powerful basic rule Tao Rhythm Patterns had merged into Lin Zheyu’s body.

They had become a part of his body.

As Lin Zheyu’s Witch Realm realm grew higher, his strength increased, and his witch patterns multiplied, these ancient basic rule Tao Rhymes would also increase in number.

Until, in the end, they completely evolved into a terrifying existence comparable to a Chaos Divine Demon Fiend.

...

Under Lin Zheyu’s control.

The newly nourished, ancient and powerful Chaos Tao Rhythm Patterns, using Chaos Elemental Power as a catalyst, attempted under his control to merge into the Martial Arts Divine Patterns.

This was not an easy task.

One day later.

”It’s workable, but the difficulty is no small matter.”

”With my current level of strength and realm, accomplishing this is still far too difficult.”

Lin Zheyu stopped his attempts to merge the ancient Tao Rhythm Patterns into the Martial Arts Divine Patterns.

To achieve this, Lin Zheyu needed to have a powerful level of mastery in witch patterns.

”Let’s leave here first.”

”At my current pace, this kind of attempt is far too slow.”

”It would be better to raise Chaos True Skill first, and use this Cultivation Technique to achieve the goal of integrating Witch Tao into Martial Dao.”

Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly, giving up on the idea of starting from the witch patterns.

Since he had made his decision, he would no longer waste time.

Now, it was about time to head to the Martial Alliance station and report in.

With a flip of Lin Zheyu’s right hand, the inferior Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and dregs of medicinal herbs required to cultivate Chaos True Skill appeared in his hand.

Vast Qi Blood Energy surged out, wrapping them all within his Qi Blood.
