Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

"Damn it, what rotten luck, running into some random old bastard with such freakish power."

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but curse softly.

Fortunately, there’s still about a year left as a buffer.

Coupled with the over two hundred units of Source Power currently accumulated, by then it will total over six hundred units of Source Power.

"With over six hundred units of Source Power, even if I can’t break through to the Shackled Realm and unlock the Three Divine Treasures, it shouldn’t be a problem."

After a moment of thought, a strong confidence surged in Lin Zheyu’s heart.

Without unlocking the Divine Treasures, he could have strength comparable to the Peak of Foundation Establishment, or even rival a Half-Step Golden Elixir.

Once the Three Divine Treasures are unlocked, Lin Zheyu’s transformation will be earth-shattering, thoroughly entering the Golden Elixir Layer.

And not just any ordinary Golden Elixir, at least a mid-tier one.

By then, relying on the Power of Spatial Rules I’ve comprehended, even if I can’t win, escaping won’t be a problem.

"You dare to threaten me, huh, at that time I’ll show you what a damn surprise really means!"

Lin Zheyu laughed coldly.

This task, he was determined to help!

"That old codger, I don’t know what method he used to actually locate me."

"I’m guessing when I left, he planted some special marker on me!"

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, holding the token given by Fan Hongwei, feeling a bit troubled.

This token’s function is unknown, if it can detect my strength, that would be a problem.

But he can’t discard it again.

Lin Zheyu believed that as long as he threw away the token, that old bastard would soon come after him.

This time being able to sit down and have a friendly talk, this is the old guy starting with civility before force.

If Lin Zheyu doesn’t wise up, Fan Hongwei would probably show his ruthless side.

"At worst, for the time being I won’t use Source Power to significantly boost my strength, and when the year’s almost up, I’ll hide in the Demon God Barrier."

"If the Demon God Barrier doesn’t work, I’ll pass through the Space-Time Rift and enter the Demon Realm."

"I refuse to believe, that old bastard can still sense my status through the token in such a way."

Lin Zheyu gritted his teeth, his face fierce.

Not only does he possess the Primordial Golden Body, he can also use Demon Transformation, turning into a demon state.

If pushed, Lin Zheyu would hide in the Demon Realm, find a place to lie low, and come back once his strength grows strong enough.

With Source Power, even in the Demon Realm, Lin Zheyu needn’t worry about being unable to recover.

Having a plan and finding a retreat, the sense of crisis in Lin Zheyu’s heart lightened considerably.

Now, he no longer felt like continuing to roast meat.

Putting away the remaining fierce beast meat, Lin Zheyu looked at the transparent chair by the campfire.

After Fan Hongwei left, the suppressed chill on the chair reemerged, dropping the temperature of the entire courtyard to below freezing in no time.

"What astounding Power of Rules, that old bastard’s mastery of the Ice Rule is somewhat terrifying!"

Lin Zheyu extended his right hand to touch the chair, feeling a startling chill penetrating his skin, attempting to invade his body.

And this is just something Fan Hongwei casually created using the Power of Rules, a chair.

The opponent is deliberately showcasing power, using strong strength to deter, making Lin Zheyu dare not have any other thoughts.

"Golden Elixir Layer involves comprehension of rules, with the old bastard’s mastery in the Ice Rule, hasn’t he reached the Late Stage of Golden Elixir?"

A subtle sense of foreboding emerged in Lin Zheyu’s heart.

If it’s really the Late Stage of Golden Elixir, then giving Fan Hongwei a damn surprise wouldn’t be easy.

Perhaps Lin Zheyu might really have to hide in the Demon Realm and cultivate intensively.

Ding!

A long blade suddenly appeared in Lin Zheyu’s hand, and with a swing of his right hand, True Essence surged within him as he hacked at the chair emanating a startling chill.

The transparent chair emitted a crisp ding sound.

Immediately after, dense cracks spread across the entire chair, yet it did not break, resembling a peculiar work of art.

"Such strong hardness!"

"Although I just broke through the limit and my strength hasn’t fully recovered."

"But that strike at least reached thirty percent of my full power without using the Power of Rules."

"And yet it couldn’t cleave it open!"

Looking at the transparent chair covered with cracks, Lin Zheyu was somewhat shocked internally.

The more he probed, the more he was astonished by Fan Hongwei’s strength, and the less confident he felt.

A year’s time is too short; it would be great if it were a bit longer.

No wonder Fan Hongwei was so confident earlier, not afraid of Lin Zheyu going back on his word at all.

With such powerful strength, he indeed has the capital for such confidence.

"Maybe I really will have to hide in the Demon Realm."

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself. It was a choice he’d only make out of necessity.

Judging by the deathly still, hellish environment in the Demon God Barrier, one could infer how harsh the Demon Realm’s environment must be.

If truly forced to hide in the Demon Realm, it would mean days of dark confinement and suffering cultivation.

"Oh, right."

"Besides breaking through to the Shackled Realm, I can also enter the Demon God Barrier to vie for the opportunity of rule fragments."

"With the aid of Source Power, I wouldn’t need many tries for my understanding of the Spatial Rules to reach remarkable heights."

"By then, even if I can’t defeat that old bastard, I can at least put myself in an unbeatable position!"
