Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

"In the Martial Realm, compared to the three major families, the Martial Alliance is still at a disadvantage, which explains the scene you just witnessed."

Bai Lin explained.

"I see."

"I just bullied Wu Yixuan terribly. He won’t go back to find his father and come back for revenge, will he?" Lin Zheyu said.

"In the Martial Realm, certainly not."

"As long as Wu Yixuan isn’t dead or seriously injured, it can be regarded as sparring. He lost simply because he was not skilled enough."

"Even if he wanted revenge, he would only openly challenge you, and it would be a challenge of the same realm."

Zong Linjing said, adding, "But outside Flame Martial City, you should be careful."

"Oh, then it’s fine."

Lin Zheyu nodded, his only worry now put to rest.

Although the Martial Alliance is weak, it isn’t controlled by the three ancient martial families; they don’t dare wreak havoc in the Martial Realm.

At most, they might find a few people, beat them up, and humiliate them, causing no serious injuries.

...

The scope of the Martial Realm isn’t large.

In their conversation, the three quickly reached the Martial Alliance’s location.

The city where the Martial Alliance is located is called Flame Martial City. It’s much smaller than Lei Family City, but it appears extremely grand.

"Is this plaque written by the Alliance Leader?"

Lin Zheyu looked at the Flame Martial City gate, scrutinizing the unruly font on the plaque and said with a click of his tongue.

From these three characters, he felt an unbelievably hot aura, domineering and scorching like the blazing sun.

"It was written by the second-generation Alliance Leader."

"However, the current generation Alliance Leader has extraordinary talent, showing signs of surpassing the second-generation leader’s strength. It’s expected that this plaque will be replaced soon."

Bai Lin said with a smile.

Bai Lin presented the identity token, and the two walked into the city.

Lin Zheyu curiously observed the people in Flame Martial City.

There’s no doubt this is the Martial Alliance; almost everyone bears traces of practicing martial arts.

Even the elderly, weak, young, and disabled have all trained, their Qi Blood far stronger than ordinary people.

On the contrary, Cultivators are almost invisible here.

"How many shackles has the Alliance Leader broken free from?"

As they strolled towards the Martial Alliance headquarters, Lin Zheyu observed his surroundings while curiously asking Bai Lin.

"The Alliance Leader broke free from seven shackles a long time ago, leading the forefront on the path of Martial Dao, with immeasurable strength."

"It’s rumored that the Alliance Leader explores ways to integrate Witch Tao into Martial Dao and has made considerable progress."

"Once it matures further, it will be promoted within the Martial Alliance."

Bai Lin slowly said, a look of reverence and admiration in his eyes.

"Oh?"

Lin Zheyu’s expression moved.

He had some understanding of Witch Tao; it was a powerful path of cultivation in ancient times, more suited to today’s broken era than Immortal Dao.

However, cultivating Witch Tao was extremely difficult, and even in ancient times, those who walked this path were very rare.

Nowadays, with great changes to heaven and earth, it is even rarer to see Witch Tao.

Lin Zheyu didn’t expect the Martial Alliance Leader to be so brilliant, having found a way to integrate Witch Tao, possibly pioneering a path beyond the Shackled Realm.

"Is anyone in the Martial Alliance researching demon demonic patterns or barbarian totems, trying to integrate them into Martial Dao?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"Yes."

"The path beyond the Shackled Realm varies, with different predecessors having different insights, leading to different paths."

"It’s not just about demonic patterns, Witch Tao, and totems; there are predecessors attempting to incorporate the bloodlines of ancient demons into themselves via the path of ancient martial families."

"..."

Bai Lin briefly introduced some research directions and achievements within the Martial Alliance, which left Lin Zheyu longing and fascinated.

What he lacks most now is.

Knowledge!

Diverse knowledge!

If relying solely on his own continuous attempts and research, it would require a significant amount of time and energy.

Now, with various explorations and cutting-edge research left by predecessors of the Martial Alliance,

it’s sufficient to save Lin Zheyu a lot of time.

He has indeed come to the right place, the Martial Alliance!

"Here we are, this is the headquarters of the Martial Alliance."

Bai Lin pointed at the magnificent gate ahead, speaking with a smile.

It sits at the very center of Flame Martial City, and the entire Martial Alliance headquarters is vast, almost akin to a small city.

"Greetings, seniors!"

"Greetings, seniors!"

Upon entering the Martial Alliance, many martial artists greeted Bai Lin and Zong Linjing.

Within the Martial Alliance, seniority is based on strength.

Among those of the same realm, they are addressed as friends, but when encountering martial artists above one’s realm, they must be called seniors.

"The atmosphere here is quite nice."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

"Of course, otherwise, this wouldn’t be the sacred land for Martial Artists of the Great Wei." Bai Lin replied with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Bai, I have other matters to attend to and will leave first."

After entering the Martial Alliance and passing through two squares, Zong Linjing cupped her hands and said.

She looked at Lin Zheyu and smiled slightly, "Once you officially join the Martial Alliance, I must treat you to a banquet to celebrate."

"Then I will thank you in advance, fellow daoist."

Lin Zheyu smiled and cupped his hands.

On the way just now, the two had exchanged Lingxi Balls, leaving their contact information.

This gadget is truly useful, even within the Dongtian World, it’s still possible to communicate with Lingxi Balls.

Just moments ago, he received a message from Tu Yuan.

That guy has finally emerged from seclusion.

"Oh, another message has arrived."

Lin Zheyu’s lips curled into a smile as he checked the message with his Divine Sense; sure enough, it’s from Tu Yuan.

"Two high-quality spirit stones, why don’t you just go ahead and rob?"

"The magical artifacts and materials in your storage bag, even if sold at the market, are only worth at most dozens of medium-quality spirit stones."
