Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Lin Zheyu threw away the depleted spirit stones and took out two more from his storage bag.

He had used six spirit stones just now, five of which were completely drained of energy, and the remaining one had less than thirty percent of its energy left.

Lin Zheyu estimated that this time’s improvement shouldn’t consume too much energy.

But just in case, he took out two more from the storage bag.

The space in the storage bag wasn’t large, and without spiritual sense, Lin Zheyu couldn’t see the situation inside the bag. However, he reached his right hand inside, felt around for a while, and roughly gauged the space of the storage bag.

The space in the storage bag was about one cubic meter. Although it wasn’t very large, it was sufficient for Lin Zheyu.

He held three spirit stones in his hand and relayed the thought: ’Use ten units of source power to cultivate the ”Ring Flashing Soul-Chasing Step”.’

In an instant, a vast and mysterious energy surged from his body, and Lin Zheyu’s spirit entered the consciousness space, beginning endless cultivation.

The ”Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step” is a powerful lightweight skill, even considered top-notch within the Martial Arts Realm.

Especially as Lin Zheyu used true essence that far exceeded true force, his speed was even more terrifying.

In the consciousness space, Lin Zheyu tirelessly experimented with the transformation of true essence, over and over again.

This transformation method was a crude technique he created using his martial arts knowledge and experience, and it wasn’t very efficient.

However, practice makes perfect.

Through continuous cultivation, repeatedly transforming true essence, Lin Zheyu’s proficiency increased gradually.

He could no longer remember how many times he had cultivated—ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, or even a million times...

In the consciousness space, Lin Zheyu lost track of time.

He discovered that he could now control the transformation of true essence as accurately as moving his own limbs.

Within 0.01 seconds, he could transform the misty true essence into true essence mainly enhanced with special effects for speed, such as wind and thunder.

Lin Zheyu began cultivating the second layer of the ”Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step”.

Time passed slowly.

Under the influence of vast mysterious energy, the energy inside the spirit stones was swept into Lin Zheyu’s body, transforming all his meridians and the muscles, skin, and bones of his lower body.

The lightweight skill at the Huajin level primarily functioned through the use of true force, differing from the Bone Marrow Refinement Realm.

But ultimately, it was about the application of energy and power.

Through repeated training, Lin Zheyu gradually adapted to energy circulation mainly driven by true essence. The meridians associated with the ”Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step” became increasingly robust through repeated, intense circulation.

Mysterious energy swept the energy from the spirit stones, flowing into the meridians, constantly broadening and reinforcing them.

Thereby allowing the meridians to withstand more powerful bursts of strength.

A few breaths later.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, revealing a profound weariness in his gaze.

Repeatedly using twenty units of source power in a short time was quite a burden for him.

”I wonder if the endurance of my spirit will greatly improve once I develop divine sense.”

Lin Zheyu pondered silently.

[Heaven rewards diligent effort]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 34

Skills:

Sacred Inference Spirit Skill (Second Layer 0%)

Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step (Third Layer 89%)

Primordial Infinite True Skill (Third Layer 59%)

He looked at the data in his consciousness, the ”Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step” had only improved to the third layer, still far from perfection.

”The speed is too fast, exceeding my neurological responses.”

”If I don’t enhance my spiritual soul, I suppose it will be very difficult to master the fourth layer completely.”

Lin Zheyu contemplated.

When he first concentrated true essence, he tested his maximum speed, which was close to four times the speed of sound.

Back then, because of insufficient control power, Lin Zheyu directly crashed into a large tree.

Now, having cultivated the ”Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step”, and being able to freely transform true essence, Lin Zheyu’s speed had increased even more.

Boom!

True essence exploded instantly, with a loud bang at his feet, blasting a deep pit due to the terrifying power.

Lin Zheyu shot out like a cannonball.

He was surrounded by a thin layer of true essence energy, maximizing the reduction of air resistance that escalated rapidly due to the excessive speed.

Twice the speed of sound, three times the speed of sound, four times the speed of sound, five times the speed of sound...

After accelerating to five times the speed of sound, Lin Zheyu stopped accelerating further. This speed was roughly his limit.

Although he could still slightly increase the speed beyond this point,

exceeding five times the speed of sound completely surpassed his neurological response speed, and Lin Zheyu couldn’t even see the environment around him clearly.

He could only sense something swiftly passing by his side.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Lin Zheyu’s figure darted swiftly through the forest, moving at an incredible speed.

Pow!

Suddenly.

Lin Zheyu’s shoulder scraped past a tree trunk, causing the entire tree to explode with a pop, and Lin Zheyu lost his balance, crashing through several tree trunks one after another.

”Five times the speed of sound is still too much, leaving no room for overly fancy techniques.”

Lin Zheyu dusted off the dirt and stood up.

Colliding with a tree trunk at the terrifying speed of five times the speed of sound was immensely damaging.

Even though the True Essence Shield blocked it, the impact site still reddened, oozing tiny beads of blood.

However, with a slight circulation of true essence, it quickly recovered.

After all, it was just a tree trunk; if it were a harder alloy, at least a piece of flesh would likely have fallen off his shoulder.

”Five times the speed of sound should only be used for escaping, four times the speed of sound suits me best.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

With his current perception ability and neurological response speed, the scenery around him at five times the speed of sound became blurred, and only at around four times the speed of sound could he perform powerful techniques.
