Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

...

In the forest, two black shadows hid on the trees.

"Senior brother, when do we make our move?" A somewhat gruff voice asked.

"Wait a bit longer, after they’ve retreated to the last defense array, we’ll use those magic puppets’ power to break through the array."

The other person said calmly.

"Senior brother, can they really succeed?"

"There are so many powerhouses in Great Wei, can that time-space node truly be opened?" The gruff man questioned skeptically.

"It can!"

"Do you think this is the only place where a time-space node is being broken?"

"Heh, across the entire Central Plains, as far as I know, many places have simultaneously shown time-space nodes." The man said calmly.

He scanned the surroundings and revealed a faint smile.

"No need to rush; we aren’t the only ones eyeing this Medicine Mountain. Let them take the lead, and we’ll just follow." The man said with a smile.

"Alright, everything as senior brother says."

The gruff man nodded in agreement.

The two fell silent once more.

In the Central Plains, there were many powerhouses like them hidden in the shadows, with many eyes on Tengshe Mountain’s medicine field.

Tengshe Mountain was planted with a large number of precious herbs, or else they wouldn’t have spent a huge sum to have the Observatory set up such a powerful array.

Previously, other forces didn’t even dare to covet the herbs here.

Now with the tumultuous situation and the outbreak of the time-space node, it was a rare opportunity.

Time passed slowly.

The sky showed the first streaks of dawn.

It was getting light!

"Dammit!"

The man glanced at the dawn sky and couldn’t help cursing.

"Senior brother, should we still make a move?" The gruff man asked.

"Make a move my ass, can’t you see it’s getting light."

"Those guys were really useless. I thought they might actually succeed, but they’re the same old useless bunch."

"Let’s go; without those magic puppets, we don’t stand a chance."

The man said softly.

His figure shifted and disappeared into the forest.

"Damn it, I wouldn’t have come if I’d known better, wasted an entire night."

"Hmm, should I take out a few guys before going back, see if I can snag something good; otherwise, this trip’s a waste."

The gruff man muttered under his breath.

He glanced at his senior brother’s departing direction, chuckled, and turned to leave in another direction.

Going back, my ass.

He never had the habit of returning empty-handed.

Many powerhouses hidden in the forest shared similar thoughts, all feeling somewhat unwilling.

They were reluctant to leave, lingering to see if there was any chance to fish in troubled waters.

...

"It’s finally daylight!"

On Tengshe Mountain, Ke Haolin finally exhaled a breath of relief.

Surviving the night, things would be much easier during the day.

Magic puppets were most active at night; during the day, except for a few controlled or individual puppets, they’d hide away.

Lin Zheyu glanced at the ground littered with magic puppets and fierce beast corpses. Seeing that there was no more danger, he turned and walked up to the mountainside slowly.

Luckily, it was a thrilling but safe night.

"Junior brother, you’re here~"

"Here!"

Sister Gu Ye saw Lin Zheyu approaching, chuckled, and tossed over a jar of wine.

"Sister, drinking so early in the morning is bad for your stomach."

Lin Zheyu took the wine jar and said with a smile.

The crisis being thrilling yet safe passed, lightened his mood considerably.

"Sister, can you sense the Yin energy in the air?"

Lin Zheyu sat down beside Gu Ye, asking curiously.

"Oh, you can feel it too?"

"Seems you’re a talent with the potential for immortal cultivation. Thousands of years ago, you might have achieved divine ascent."

Gu Ye said with a smile, shrugging her shoulders, she continued, "I, on the other hand, can’t, I don’t have that potential."

"You mentioned thousands of years ago, it doesn’t matter now." Lin Zheyu said indifferently.

"It’s not entirely useless."

"If you were born into the Great Wei Royal Race, it might have been useful, only you’re not." Gu Ye laughed teasingly.

She knew many secrets, harboring numerous suspicions in her heart.

To her, the Great Wei Royal Race might be related to the once brilliant and powerful immortal path, but that’s just speculation.

"Yes, what a pity, otherwise I might have been a once-in-a-century genius." Lin Zheyu joked with a smile.

He glanced at the distant sky’s dark clouds, which had ceased expanding.

The sun slowly rose from the distant horizon, casting a golden light over everything.

"Oh?"

"The Yin energy is dissipating at an astonishing rate..."

Lin Zheyu remarked in surprise.

Back at Dabashan, in that chamber nurturing the living corpses, the rich Yin energy only appeared at night, vanishing by day.

Not just the Yin energy, but even magic puppets were affected by night and day.

At that time, Lin Zheyu speculated that the scorching Yang nature of the sun had a powerful suppressive effect on Yin energy.

Now, personally experiencing the rapid dissipation of Yin energy as the sun rose, further validated Lin Zheyu’s hypothesis.

"Are there any Martial Arts Skills with Yang attributes..."

"Fire attributes could count, and Thunder attributes as well, and..."

Lin Zheyu gazed at the rising sun, ideas swirling in his mind.

If he could cultivate a pure and strong Yang energy, even facing pure demons would create a significant suppressive effect.

’First, cultivate the Primordial Infinite True Skill, then look for some pure Yang true skills, preferably martial techniques similar to the Haoyang Celestial Blade.’

Lin Zheyu thought to himself, planning his future cultivation path.

Those powerful demons, suspected to have once wiped out the entire cultivation era, if Lin Zheyu’s strength continued to grow, would eventually face them.

He must make plans and preparations early.

"Junior brother, what are you thinking about so deeply?"

Gu Ye saw Lin Zheyu staring blankly at the sun, she asked with a laugh.

"My Infinite Ocean Body was successfully cultivated yesterday, thinking about which direction to develop next."

"Sister, what do you think of the Primordial Infinite True Skill?"

Lin Zheyu snapped back to reality, smiling as he spoke.
