Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

These two Golden Cores should come from traditional Sword Cultivators.

The Power of Rules contained within the Golden Cores is perfectly integrated with Sword Intent and exists within the Golden Core in the form of Sword Intent.

However, this does not affect Lin Zheyu’s understanding; it can be used as a reference for him.

The Heaven-Breaking Slash created by Lin Zheyu, although far stronger than the previous Saber Skill, still has significant flaws; the combination of rules and Saber Skill is not perfect.

The Sword Intent aura contained in these two Golden Cores can just help him improve the Heaven-Breaking Slash and cultivate a powerful Blade Intent unique to him.

Swish, swish, swish~~~

The cold wind blows; tonight’s wind is quite strong and chilling.

But for a Martial Artist like Lin Zheyu, it feels like nothing at all.

On Lin Zheyu’s body, a powerful Blade Intent is brewing slowly, while tiny cracks intermittently appear around him, merging into the Blade Intent under his control.

At dawn, a ray of sunlight spilled down.

On the courtyard paved with bluestone bricks, the thin layer of frost began to melt.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, and the powerful Blade Intent enveloping him vanished instantly, converging back into his body.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 285

Skills:

Shrinking Earth Skill (Perfection)

Mixed Element Concealing Breath Skill (Perfection)

Heaven-Breaking Slash (Second Layer: 37%)

Primordial Golden Body (Second Layer: 100%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness; the Heaven-Breaking Slash had already advanced to 37% of the second layer.

At this rate, it is estimated that in less than three months, he will be able to cultivate the second layer to Perfection, integrating the Power of Rules into the Blade Intent.

Lin Zheyu exhaled a long breath, stood up, and patted the nonexistent dust on his body.

The Magical Robe he wore has an automatic cleansing function, yet Lin Zheyu still habitually patted the dust off his body.

Without a pat, something always feels missing.

With a pat on the storage bag, a gourd filled with Spiritual Liquid appeared in Lin Zheyu’s hand.

The Spiritual Liquid in the gourd was mixed with fragrant Spirit Wine, and the moment the stopper was opened, a rich wine aroma wafted out.

Glug glug glug~~~

Half a gourd of wine and Spiritual Liquid went down his throat, and Lin Zheyu showed a satisfied smile.

Unfortunately, there’s no roasted meat right now, otherwise, it would be perfect.

"Next time, I should try another flavor of Spirit Wine, this one’s getting a bit tiring." Lin Zheyu said with a light laugh.

Stowing away the gourd, he lightly hopped outside the courtyard.

Heading west, leaving through the west city gate, Lin Zheyu’s speed began to increase; operating the Shrinking Earth Skill, he covered a thousand miles in just a few steps.

Apart from occasionally leaving the city to hunt fierce beasts, Lin Zheyu spent most of his time staying in the courtyard for cultivation, exploring the secrets of golden runes, and cultivating the Blade Intent of Heaven-Breaking Slash.

After a long time, it can become tedious.

So, Lin Zheyu accepted Lei Yunshu’s invitation to visit the Lei Family’s Grotto Heaven and Paradise.

He had long wanted to explore the Immortals’ Grotto Heaven and Paradise, to experience the richness of Spiritual Energy in those places.

The Grotto Heaven and Paradise used to set up marketplaces are places devoid of spirit; not only do they lack Spiritual Power, but Demonic Energy as well.

Unlike these, the Grotto Heaven and Paradise where the Lei Family resides are filled with rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, truly a place of the Immortal Realm.

If the Grotto Heaven and Paradise are large enough, calling it the Little Spirit Realm would not be an exaggeration.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

In the wilderness with the wind howling.

Lin Zheyu moved extremely fast, reaching the deep, uninhabited mountains in no time.

"Oh, lucky, there’s actually a fierce beast at the Innate Realm living here!"

Lin Zheyu’s expression shifted slightly, with the corner of his mouth curling subtly into a faint smile.

Beasts at the Innate Realm are indeed rare.

This world is problematic.

Not merely due to the presence of Demonic Energy.

The concentration of Spiritual Energy in the world is also an issue.

The Spiritual Energy in the world is simply too thin.

Lin Zheyu traveled through this world for so long, traversing many places.

Even in the most remote mountains and forests, he has yet to find a place where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy is relatively dense.

Lin Zheyu speculated.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy are likely gathered and absorbed by powerful means into various Grotto Heavens and Paradises by the major forces.

The remaining Spiritual Energy in the world is extremely thin.

This is also why Cultivators and Innate Realm Martial Artists are almost invisible in the secular world.

They fear both the erosion of Demonic Energy and that the Spiritual Energy is too thin, causing their strength to gradually decline the longer they remain in the secular world.

At the same time.

The thinness of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy also makes it extremely difficult for fierce beasts to reach the Innate Realm.

Unlike Martial Artists, fierce beasts cannot obtain Spiritual Liquid from the Observatory or Immortal forces.

Without the assistance of Spiritual Liquid, it is exceedingly difficult for fierce beasts to break through to the Transforming Force level, let alone the Innate Realm level.

Swoosh——

Lin Zheyu’s figure flickered and vanished instantly from the spot.

He silently appeared above a fierce beast with a shiny black coat, sporting two giant tusks like a black tiger.

Roar!

The black giant tiger let out a hideous roar.

Its perception of danger is formidable, even though it could not detect Lin Zheyu’s aura, it sensed a tremendous danger approaching.

Boom!

The fierce beast’s hideous roar abruptly ceased.

Lin Zheyu’s fair hand, which seemed untarnished by martial practice, lightly descended with a ’boom,’ tapping the fierce beast on its forehead.

The black giant tiger instantly rolled its eyes and fell silent.

"Not bad, not bad, this one’s big enough for two meals."

Lin Zheyu observed the fierce beast in satisfaction.
