Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

The sun rises from the west.

Golden sunlight spills onto the earth.

In the warm sunlight, the disciples of the Infinite Sect feel a long-lost warmth.

Among them, many are just ordinary people, unable to sense the presence of the yin fiend force in the air like Yun Qing and Lin Zheyu.

Ordinary people in places rich with yin fiend force would just feel a sense of eeriness, as if a chill rises from deep within, making them shiver involuntarily.

The sunrise dispels the chill in their hearts.

Gu Ye sits on a rock by the cliff, staring blankly into the distant sky.

"What do you think of Lin Zheyu?"

A familiar voice comes from behind. Gu Ye gets off the rock and bows to Men Liuyuan.

"Genius!"

"A once-in-a-century genius!"

Gu Ye comments.

Yesterday, she specially went to see the giant bear demon puppet that Lin Zheyu smashed, and was amazed to find that the puppet was a living corpse demon puppet of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

Its defense was extremely terrifying.

Even the weakest defense at its head wasn’t something an ordinary martial artist of the Bone Marrow Cultivation realm could easily smash.

Yet, Mr. Lin directly smashed the head of that living corpse demon puppet with a single punch; such terrifying attack power is about to rival Transforming Force Martial Artists.

This morning, she heard that Mr. Lin had captured a living puppet of the Peak of Marrow Refining Realm alive.

They just had a brief chat when Mr. Lin couldn’t wait to return to research that living puppet.

"I wasn’t asking about that."

"I meant, what do you think of Lin Zheyu’s character and appearance?" Men Liuyuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Of course, he knew Lin Zheyu was a genius; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been exceptionally accepted as a direct disciple by Huang Baizhong.

Men Liuyuan was asking what impression Gu Ye had of Lin Zheyu and whether she had any fondness for him.

Gu Ye: "..."

"Uncle, I’m not interested in getting married and having children."

Gu Ye couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said directly.

Her master is still unmarried to this day; she’s only so young, what’s there to rush?

"Sigh... you... really..."

"Don’t be like your master. Your master was heartbroken when she was young, so she hasn’t married until now, but you shouldn’t follow her path."

Men Liuyuan couldn’t help but say when he saw Gu Ye’s expression.

"If love is so heart-wrenching, why force it? Just let it be."

"I want to become a Grandmaster and tread the martial path above the Innate realm; how can I be burdened by such trivial emotions?" Gu Ye pouted and said with pride.

Men Liuyuan: "..."

Men Liuyuan couldn’t help but be speechless at this.

He didn’t know how Sister Wuxuan taught, turning a cute little girl into this.

He quickly changed the subject.

"That space-time node seems to be under control. Next, we just need to guard against demon puppets escaping into the mountain forest and any possible demons."

"Abandon the herb fields at the foot of the mountain if needed; we just need to hold the second line of defense."

"But you still can’t afford to be careless."

"Tell Lin Zheyu later not to go too far away from Tengshe Mountain. There are a lot of malicious individuals lurking in the forests, waiting for opportunities."

Men Liuyuan advised.

The Infinite Sect isn’t without enemies. They likely won’t miss this great opportunity.

"Don’t worry, Uncle. I just reminded Mr. Lin." Gu Ye nodded and said.

...

Roar!

Roar roar!!

In the room where the giant bear demon puppet’s body was previously placed, terrifying roars erupted.

This roar has continued for over an hour, making the disciples on guard feel somewhat numb.

"Is Uncle studying demon puppets?"

"He wouldn’t be considering following the path of a demon martial artist, right?" someone whispered.

"Be careful what you say."

The man’s companion glared at him and said, "Uncle’s talent is so tremendous; he’s at least a future grandmaster-level stronghold, so why choose the path of a demon martial artist?"

"Those who choose the paths of demon martial artists are either old and at the end of their lifespan, gambling on their last chance, or martial artists whose talent isn’t enough to advance to grandmaster."

"Neither applies to Mr. Lin." Zhan Shaoyu said in a low voice.

"I’m just saying..."

"But I’ve heard that demon puppets contain ways to cultivate for longevity, and once someone becomes strong enough as a demon martial artist, it’s possible to achieve immortality."

Fang Yuan muttered softly.

Like Zhan Shaoyu, he is only a Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist, but having grown up in Bitao Pavilion, he’s heard many secrets about demons and cultivators.

Among these secrets, there are truths and falsehoods, and due to their limited strength and knowledge, they can’t verify them.

However, after witnessing so many powerful demon puppets and seeing the spectacle at the space-time node location in the distant sky, Fang Yuan’s heart is stirred by many forbidden thoughts.

"If you don’t want to become a demon puppet, don’t harbor such thoughts."

"If demon puppets really contain the secret technique to achieve immortality, the past cultivation civilization wouldn’t have perished, and martial arts wouldn’t be so prosperous either; it would have been a world of demon martial artists long ago."

Zhan Shaoyu rolled his eyes, showing disdain for the rumor.

Just as he wanted to say more, he suddenly heard the creak of a wooden door opening and promptly fell silent.

Lin Zheyu walked out of the room, took the wet towel handed over by a subordinate, and wiped his hands.

This demon was slowly transformed after being eroded by the yin fiend force. Compared to the deliberately crafted living corpse demon puppets, it’s indeed much weaker.

The defense of ordinary demon puppets cannot compare with living corpses at all.

However, their recovery power is abnormal; when the limbs are cut, pressing them down allows them to regrow within a few breaths.
