Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

The light in the void twisted, and Lin Zheyu emerged.

"Being used to places rich in spiritual energy, returning to the mortal realm is really uncomfortable."

"No wonder these cultivators typically don’t walk around the mortal realm."

Lin Zheyu murmured to himself.

Even he, a martial artist with no connection to the heavens and earth, possessing only inferior cultivation qualifications, felt uncomfortable after only a few days.

Let alone those cultivators who grew up in places like the Cyan Dragon Realm, rich in spiritual energy.

Lin Zheyu did not dwell too much on it.

He stepped forward with his right foot, appearing several hundred meters away in an instant, the whole process very natural.

After gaining insight from Mu Jianli’s sword intent, although Lin Zheyu hadn’t made much progress in understanding space laws, he had become more adept and natural in using them.

Splish-splash~~

In Wuling City, along the riverside, the river water splashed as it flowed.

"Sorry to keep Mr. Bai waiting."

Lin Zheyu walked on air and landed in the courtyard, bowing to Bai Lin, who had been waiting for a long time.

"I’ve only just arrived, so I haven’t been waiting for long. It’s actually Mr. Xiao who kept waiting." Bai Lin waved his hand.

During this retreat, his strength seemed to have improved, and his aura grew ever stronger.

"Congratulations to you, friend, on another breakthrough. You might soon advance to the Shackled Realm." Lin Zheyu smiled.

"It’s far off, I’ve only just touched the threshold of the shackles." Bai Lin showed a bitter smile, speaking with some regret.

Breaking free from the shackles is really difficult.

To break free, one first needs to be aware of the shackles’ existence before they can attempt to break them.

Many martial artists who step onto the Immortal Martial path have long struggled to advance to the Shackled Realm because they can’t even perceive the shackles.

How can they talk about breaking free?

"Once you touch the threshold, things will move quickly." Lin Zheyu smiled.

"Thanks for your kind words."

"I wonder if you’re interested in joining the Martial Alliance?" Bai Lin smiled, starting to discuss business.

"Of course."

"I’ve long had an interest in the Martial Alliance; it’s just that I’ve never had the opportunity to join." Lin Zheyu smiled.

In the Lei Family City, he found quite a few cultivation techniques about the Divine Treasure and Shackled Realm.

However, such techniques are very expensive, and the level of the techniques isn’t great, not as worthwhile compared to joining the Martial Alliance directly.

"Have you finished your business now, or can you set out?" Bai Lin asked.

"Mr. Xiao has nothing urgent, we can set out now." Lin Zheyu nodded.

He directly ignored Tu Yuan.

That guy has been secluded for so long, so long that Lin Zheyu became wealthy, no longer considering such values of spirit stone.

"Uh...so we’re leaving now?"

Bai Lin was slightly stunned; he thought Lin Zheyu would need to deal with some loose ends before leaving.

"Yes."

"Mr. Xiao has anticipated joining the Martial Alliance for a long time, hopefully, it won’t disappoint Mr. Xiao." Lin Zheyu smiled.

"It certainly won’t disappoint you."

"In the Martial Alliance, there are numerous powerful martial arts skills, the front line of path exploration, and the strongest martial arts experts."

"Here, you can connect with many likeminded martial artists, share and enhance together."

Bai Lin smiled.

Their figures moved, leaping out of the courtyard.

Outside of Wuling City, their speed grew increasingly fast, disappearing into the deep mountains in the blink of an eye.

The Martial Alliance primarily operates around the Fengchuan Domain, extremely far from Wuling City. Even at their speed, it took more than a day.

"Whew~"

"Whew whew~~"

In the mountain forest, Bai Lin took large breaths, his face slightly flushed.

He looked at Lin Zheyu, who appeared calm and undisturbed, his heart full of surprise.

If not for Bai Lin needing time to recover, delaying quite a bit, they’d have arrived at Fengchuan Domain sooner.

"Mr. Bai, isn’t there a teleportation array, why not use it directly?"

Lin Zheyu looked at Bai Lin, who was catching his breath, and asked indifferently.

His Qi Blood True Essence had long surpassed ordinary martial artists, and mastering space rules, his consumption along the way wasn’t as much as Bai Lin’s.

"The teleportation array between the mortal realm and between the mortal realm and Dongtian World is not the same."

"The Heavenly Dao rules of this world are incomplete, using a teleportation array in the mortal realm costs much more than the array between the Mortal Realm Domain and Dongtian World."

"One trip costs a hundred low-grade spirit stones, not worth it."

Bai Lin shook his head.

Even for cultivators from noble backgrounds, without powerful parents or excellent talent, spirit stones are still tight.

Bai Lin, as a martial artist, is even more so.

He’s quite poor.

Consuming a hundred low-grade spirit stones just to save a day or two is way too extravagant.

"Hmm, indeed not worth it."

Lin Zheyu seemed to nod in agreement.

Sudden wealth made him insensitive to spirit stones, almost replying that a mere hundred low-grade spirit stones meant nothing earlier.

Half an hour later.

"Let’s go; we’re almost there."

Bai Lin, after resting, opened his eyes.

As they were about to arrive, Bai Lin this time did not wait to recover to peak before setting off.

Russle, russle~~~

The breeze blew, and the trees rustled.

The woods here, even in the dead of winter, were extremely lush, verdant.

The breeze brought waves of heat.

"It’s so hot here; is there a volcanic spot?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

His perception spread out, not detecting the existence of any volcano.

"There’s no active volcano, but there is a Luofeng Slope, where it’s rumored a divine beast Phoenix fell."

Bai Lin explained.

"Oh?"

"If there’s time, I must go see." Lin Zheyu’s expression moved, smiling.

"Afraid you won’t have the chance."

"Luofeng Slope belongs to the Celestial Craft Pavilion as a critical spot, the best artifact refining location, it’s the Pavilion’s forbidden land, outsiders can’t enter."

Bai Lin shook his head.

They passed through an invisible barrier, and the teleportation array connecting to the Martial Alliance’s location appeared before them.

"That really is a pity."

Lin Zheyu said with some regret.

He stepped ahead of Bai Lin, took out spirit stones, and inserted them into the teleportation array’s groove.

Flowing light circulated, and they disappeared into the mountains.

Roar!

Just teleported to the Martial Alliance’s cave world, a beast’s roar echoed in his ears, the sound resonating through the heavens and earth.

"What kind of beast is this?"

Lin Zheyu, sensing the power in the sound, asked curiously.

The strength of this beast seemed close to the Golden Elixir Layer.

"That’s the Red Fire Lion, out now for hunting."

"The Red Fire Lion is the Alliance Leader’s mount, very powerful, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, but very gentle by nature, so you needn’t worry."

Bai Lin explained.

He laughed and continued, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to Martial Alliance headquarters to finalize your membership."

"Okay."

Lin Zheyu nodded, redirecting his gaze.
