Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Early the next morning.

As the sky just started to lighten, Gu Ye and Men Liuyuan stood atop Tengshe Mountain, watching Lin Zheyu’s departing figure with an inexplicable look.

"Uncle Master, haven’t you also cultivated the Turtle Breath True Skill? Can you, like Mr. Lin, effortlessly change your appearance?"

Gu Ye asked.

Just a moment ago, Lin Zheyu had performed the remarkable feat of changing his appearance in front of them to set their minds at ease, which left Gu Ye in awe.

To be able to, like Mr. Lin, easily control the facial and body muscles and skin to change one’s appearance and maintain it requires an incredibly powerful ability to control.

Gu Ye tried to control the muscles and skin of his face as Lin Zheyu had just done to change his appearance but was unsuccessful.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Men Liuyuan blushed.

Although he had also cultivated the Turtle Breath True Skill, he hadn’t mastered it yet.

This true skill, despite being widespread, doesn’t mean it’s an ordinary health care skill. In contrast, it is quite rare and precious.

Among many longevity-enhancing health care true skills, the Turtle Breath True Skill ranks at least in the top ten.

"Ahem ahem..."

"After Lin Zheyu goes back, you’ll have more responsibilities. Go quickly and patrol to see if there are any weak spots in the defense line."

Men Liuyuan evaded the subject and instructed with a wave of his hand.

After giving the order, he hurriedly left as if fleeing.

’This kid’s talent is too monstrous, it’s fine that he’s so strong, but at such a young age he’s mastered Turtle Breath True Skill to this level, it’s enough to make others despair...’

Men Liuyuan muttered softly to himself.

He had been cultivating Turtle Breath True Skill for over ten years yet hadn’t comprehended the Turtle Breath True Intent and hadn’t reached the required level of body control.

"If it’s not possible, then it’s not, what’s there to be embarrassed about."

Gu Ye watched Uncle Master’s hurried steps and muttered softly with a slight curl of the lips.

"Should I also train in Turtle Breath True Skill? This cultivation technique possesses the ability to prolong life and rejuvenate the body. Mr. Lin looks so young, maybe it has something to do with Turtle Breath True Skill."

Gu Ye mumbled.

Despite her fierce appearance, as a woman, she too had a heart that longed for beauty.

Meanwhile.

Lin Zheyu changed his appearance, left Tengshe Mountain, and breathed in the earthy scent of the forest, feeling as if he’d shed his shackles, left his cage, and now the vast sky was his to fly through.

Whoosh—

He hadn’t walked far when a lean, boar-like ferocious beast suddenly sprang from the dense forest. It opened its bloodthirsty mouth, its ferocious fangs aiming to bite at Lin Zheyu’s neck.

Without even looking, Lin Zheyu slapped backhandedly.

With a bang.

The ferocious beast was sent flying backward several times faster than it had leapt forward. A cracking sound came from the spot where Lin Zheyu had struck it, and the bones inside shattered instantly.

"So weak..."

Lin Zheyu muttered.

He felt stronger than ever before.

After cultivating the Melting Furnace Body Tempering Skill, Lin Zheyu’s physique had reached a terrifying level. Even if he stood there allowing a Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm to attack, they might not be able to break through his defense.

Rustle rustle~~

Lin Zheyu walked several kilometers, confirming no one was following him. Then, his facial appearance changed again. His robust physique began to shrink and become slim.

After more than ten seconds.

Lin Zheyu had transformed from a robust young man into a thin, unremarkable middle-aged man.

"Now no one should recognize me, right?"

Lin Zheyu touched his face, thinking to himself.

He wasn’t in a rush to return. He planned to test his strength in the mountains and forests to see what level he had reached.

Lin Zheyu spread his arms and stretched his joints.

The golden Qi blood within his body flowed slowly.

Boom!

The Qi blood erupted in an instant, and Lin Zheyu shot forward like a cannonball. At terrifying speeds, faster than sound, he broke through the sound barrier, creating a deafening boom in the forest.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zheyu had charged several hundred meters away.

His astonishing speed whipped up a terrifying gust. Where Lin Zheyu stepped, large pits were left in the ground.

Boom!

Suddenly, unable to turn quickly, Lin Zheyu crashed into a large tree ahead.

The tree exploded, turning into fragments that scattered everywhere.

Lin Zheyu halted his movement and patted the debris off his body.

Aside from dirtying his clothes, he wasn’t injured, and he barely felt any pain—it was as if a mosquito had bitten him.

"After surpassing the speed of sound, the wind resistance is too strong. With my powerful control and perception, I couldn’t react in time."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

To cultivate lightweight body techniques to an extraordinary level at supersonic speeds would require much more Source Power than before.

And even then, it might not be possible.

Surpassing the speed of sound demands extremely high perception and reaction abilities from a Martial Artist. It’s not something that can be achieved by simply practicing lightweight body techniques to enhance perception and reaction.

One’s spirit and soul also need to be elevated.

"Supersonic speed can be used for escaping and chasing, there’s no need to waste too much time on it. Otherwise, when I advance to the Transforming Force phase, I’ll have to cultivate anew with Source Power."

Lin Zheyu pondered.

For now, his lightweight skills sufficed. Supersonic speed was enough to be a life-saving trump card.

Moreover, reaching such a speed was nearly the limit.

To continue enhancing it, he’d have to wait until he cultivated True Energy, which could reduce wind resistance.

Furthermore, Lin Zheyu also planned to cultivate the Primordial Infinite True Skill, a comprehensive true skill that includes the true intent of the wind to enhance speed.
