Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness; he only retained the cultivation content of the third layer of the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill.

This cultivation technique was quite difficult to cultivate, but the main difficulty lay in the control of essence, qi, and spirit, and the ability to endure the pain produced when operating the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill.

With Lin Zheyu’s powerful control and tenacious mental will, he easily cultivated the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill to the Third-Layer Perfection.

"Not bad, the effects of the first two layers are average, but the cultivation effect of the third layer is quite good."

Lin Zheyu was very satisfied with the effects of the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill.

This cultivation technique was still quite good as a routine cultivation technique.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Zheyu needed to stand guard at Tengshe Mountain until next month, and after Senior Brother Chen Ding arrived, he and Gu Ye could return.

The days on Tengshe Mountain were very fulfilling.

After waking up in the morning, he cultivated the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill for an hour and a half, and then, under the guidance of the inner sect disciples, he identified and studied the herbs on Tengshe Mountain.

In the afternoon, he drank and sparred with Senior Sister Gu Ye.

At the foot of Tengshe Mountain.

Within the deep pool.

Having first cultivated the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill and exhausted his qi blood, Lin Zheyu came here to break through the limit.

Even with a powerful physique, training the Great Power Vajra Fist at the bottom of the deep pool still caused a tremendous disturbance.

After more than two hours.

Lin Zheyu suddenly shot out from the deep pool and landed with a thud on the shore, water droplets continuously sliding off his body.

His physical strength was somewhat weak, but it had not yet reached the limit.

After advancing to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, Lin Zheyu’s physique became increasingly terrifying, with not only his strength and defense greatly enhanced.

Even his endurance and recovery experienced an alarming growth.

After exhausting his qi blood power, Lin Zheyu cultivated in the deep pool for over two hours before he nearly exhausted his physical force.

Returning to the shore, he cultivated for another half an hour before he was completely out of strength, lying limply on the ground.

"Junior Brother, have you cultivated the Infinite Ocean Body?"

Gu Ye came over from a distance, looking at Lin Zheyu on the ground, and asked.

She felt that Junior Brother Lin’s endurance was increasingly terrifying. After cultivating for over two hours in the deep pool, he could still train for another half hour on the shore.

If she knew that Lin Zheyu had entered the deep pool to cultivate only after exhausting the qi blood in his body, she would surely be shocked.

"Hmm, I only recently succeeded in that cultivation."

Lin Zheyu struggled to sit up after resting for a while.

He took three Essence Qi Elixirs from his bosom and consumed them.

The moment the Essence Qi Elixirs entered his stomach, they were quickly broken down and absorbed, transforming into a powerful medicinal force and generating qi blood energy.

After advancing to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, Lin Zheyu’s physique was comparable to a terrifying fierce beast, with an incredibly strong digestive ability.

Without consuming elixirs, Lin Zheyu had never fully eaten his fill through regular meals alone.

On Tengshe Mountain, he dared not eat freely, or he would be considered a monster.

"You’ve been in the sect for less than a year, right? To cultivate the Infinite Ocean Body in less than a year is truly an astounding talent."

Gu Ye remarked in admiration.

Even for someone cultivating from scratch, being able to cultivate the Infinite Ocean Body in less than a year was incredibly amazing.

The single process of comprehending the Jade Wave True Intent alone would take many geniuses three to four years to perceive and temper.

"Senior Sister flatters me, perhaps it’s because I’m more in tune with this ultimate skill."

Lin Zheyu smiled.

After consuming the Essence Qi Elixirs, he quickly condensed a small portion of golden qi blood.

With the recovery of the golden qi blood, the soreness from surpassing his limits quickly vanished.

This is the advantage of having a powerful physique.

"Things have been a little out of sorts lately. It’s best not to use such an Extreme Cultivation Skill in the coming days," Gu Ye advised.

"Has something happened?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

The two walked side by side out of the deep pool area, heading towards the mountainside.

"There have been many sightings of demonic puppets in the mountains, all from the Ink Jade Insect Beast clan."

"After the Ink Jade Insect Beast clan is converted into demonic puppets, they are extremely terrifying and could trigger a magical tide if not careful," Gu Ye said gravely.

The Ink Jade Insect Beast belongs to the Insect Race and has extremely strong reproductive capabilities.

Every insect beast is very powerful, with the strongest comparable to the peak of the Marrow Refining Realm.

If the insect mother of the Ink Jade Insect Beast clan is converted into a demonic puppet, the offspring born are demonic puppets at birth, and even stronger than before.

"This is quite troublesome."

Lin Zheyu murmured softly at this comment.

He also realized the seriousness of the problem.

If there were only the Ink Jade Insect Beast demonic puppets, Tengshe Mountain’s martial strength could still handle it.

But Lin Zheyu felt that things wouldn’t be that simple, and those hiding in the dark might be plotting something.

"Don’t worry, the nearby garrison has already received the news."

"If they indeed intend to establish a spatial node connecting to a demon lair, powerful masters will naturally take action."

"We only need to guard Tengshe Mountain to prevent chaos from damaging the herb fields on the mountain." Gu Ye smiled, speaking in a relaxed tone.

As the two conversed, dark currents surged in the mountain forest.

Deep in the mountains and forests.

Toxic miasma and smoke pervade, the dense sinister force like dark ink, shrouding the entire mountain forest.

Ferocious insect beasts with hideous faces and purplish-black spots all over their bodies roamed everywhere in the mountain forest, preying on the powerful beasts in the forest.

As one ferocious beast after another was preyed upon, brought to the insect mother’s location, and consumed as food, the insect mother reproduced one new demonic puppet insect beast after another.

Two figures in black robes stood in the vast cavern, looking at the body of the huge insect mother, expressionless.

"Have you found the location of the spatial node?"

The man on the left said blandly.

"We have narrowed the range to two kilometers and will soon determine the weak point in space," said the other man in black robes.

"Heh heh heh..."

"My master will soon descend, spreading the glory of my master, and compel the humble people of Great Wei to abandon their faith and embrace my master’s bosom."

"My master is the only hope for this decaying world and can bring salvation to it..."
