Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

"My brother is also about to exit seclusion. This time, in order to achieve the Eight-Stripe Golden Elixir, he spent a lot more time," Ji Zitong said slowly.

Ji Ziyang has great ambition, and to achieve the Eight-Stripe Golden Elixir, he obtained many resources through various means.

"I see."

"Now that you have achieved the Golden Core, I suppose soon we’ll have to address you as a senior," Lin Zheyu quipped with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, you jest. I’m sure it won’t be long before you enter the Shackled Realm," Ji Zitong replied with a slight smile.

This time, she primarily came on the request of Tu Mingzhen to help establish connections.

After taking care of Tu Mingzhen’s matters, the group engaged in some casual conversation before bidding their farewells and leaving.

"A relic of the Witch Race delivered just when I’m drowsy,"

Lin Zheyu chuckled lightly and said with some emotion.

On this journey, such encounters are exceedingly rare.

If it weren’t for the existence of Source Power, with Lin Zheyu’s unlucky fate, he would have already been reduced to a pile of withered bones somewhere.

Lin Zheyu arranged to visit the relics of the Witch Race with Tu Mingzhen after coming out of the Demon God Barrier.

By then, Lin Zheyu’s strength will have taken a significant leap forward.

Whether it’s dealing with the threat of that old fellow Fan Hongwei or the unknown dangers within the relics, there will be assurance.

And having waited so long, Tu Mingzhen wouldn’t mind this additional bit of time.

Thus, the two settled on this plan.

Returning to the courtyard.

Lin Zheyu resumed his leisurely and calm practice life.

With a new supply of Spirit Stones, Lin Zheyu rearranged his cultivation to reinclude the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill in his daily practice routine.

In the courtyard.

Under the shade of a tree.

Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged, his qi blood surging within him, and a vast vitality brewing in his body.

Invisible chains of shackles wrapped around his entire body.

Under the restraint of the shackles, the vigorously budding vitality was suppressed and withdrew back into the Divine Treasure.

After a long time.

Lin Zheyu slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his qi blood completely expended.

He sensed his body.

Since the appearance of the chain shackle, his body’s vitality hasn’t improved much.

"The shackles are becoming more solid."

"When they fully solidify, their binding suppression will be at its strongest."

"When that time comes, can other Divine Treasure Skills continue to be practiced?"

Lin Zheyu pondered in silence, sensing the invisible shackles wrapped around his body.

However, the appearance of the shackles is not without its benefits.

Lin Zheyu discovered that although the vitality power within his body increased only marginally, it grew purer and stronger.

The force of the shackles surrounding his body, although it suppressed the growth of vitality within, helped Lin Zheyu refine and purify his vitality power.

Making each unit of power contain a more substantial, purer vitality.

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness.

The Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill was close to being perfected, and the presence of the shackles did not affect his cultivation of the Divine Treasure Realm’s skill.

Time flows like water, swiftly passing by.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.

After the appearance of the shackles, the speed of refining Divine Treasure Skills slowed significantly.

However, Lin Zheyu still successfully practiced the first layer to perfection, and the second layer was not far from perfection.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 618

Skills:

Shrinking Earth to an Inch (Perfection)

Mixed Element Concealing Breath Skill (Perfection)

Seven Extremes Blade (Fifth Layer: 3%)

Primordial Golden Body (Second Layer: 100%)

Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill (Second Layer: 78%)

Spirit Martial Heaven and Earth Secret Skill·Advanced (Proficient: 3%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness.

With his diligent cultivation, his source power reached a count of over six hundred.

The Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill also progressed to 78% of the second layer.

Pff——

Lin Zheyu punched out, his qi blood rumbled within him, and faint golden qi blood energy exuded from his body.

Simultaneously, the shadow of chain shackles emerged within him.

With the shock of qi blood, they became increasingly solid.

Compared to the beginning, these chains coiling around his body had almost completely solidified, and in Lin Zheyu’s perception, they felt as real as any object.

Upon closer inspection, he could even see rust-like spots on the iron chains, formed by a robust, ancient aura.

"Did it get thicker again??"

Lin Zheyu sensed the shackles binding his body and frowned, muttering softly.

Half a month ago, he discovered that this chain shackle within him had fully solidified.

Once solidified, the shackles had a huge impact on Lin Zheyu’s cultivation, slowing his cultivation speed by more than half.

However, thankfully, cultivation could still continue, which was bearable.

Lin Zheyu intended to see if he could persist in his cultivation, bolstering his physique enough to forcibly break the Chain of Life wrapped around his body.

In the martial history, this would be unheard of.

However, Lin Zheyu found he was overthinking it.

With the cultivation of the Purple Sky Returning Storage Skill and the increase in strength, Lin Zheyu discovered that the Chain of Life around his body was actually becoming thicker!

The shackles, originally black and rusty, now showed mottled golden specks.

These golden specks seemed to appear after absorbing the golden energy within Lin Zheyu.

"..."

"It seems that as long as I can continue to improve, the Heavenly Dao Shackles wrapped around my body will grow stronger."

"Damn, is the so-called Heavenly Dao Shackles’ limits this flexible?"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but secretly complain in his heart.

From what he learned from the Martial Alliance’s texts, the strength of the Heavenly Dao Shackles was supposed to be fixed and had never been known to strengthen with the growth of one’s abilities.
