Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

East Sea.

The sea bordering the eastern part of Great Wei is called the East Sea.

Less than thirty kilometers from Great Wei lies a vast archipelago.

Here, the Human Race coexists with the Sea Race, and even the Barbarian Race and Ancient Demons, a mix of various beings.

Whoa~~

Crash~

In the evening, as the tide rises, the pale waves crash upon the beach.

Lin Zheyu stands nearby, the piercing cold wind blowing as he gazes at the horizon.

"The spiritual energy is becoming denser!"

Leaving the region of Great Wei, Lin Zheyu feels the spiritual energy in the air growing denser.

Correspondingly, demonic energy also increases with the rise in spiritual energy.

Feeling the salty sea breeze and the dense spiritual energy in the air, Lin Zheyu senses a faint discomfort.

As a Martial Artist, he is naturally less affected by demonic energy, and since he hasn’t opened the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, he is influenced even less than ordinary martial artists.

Yet here, Lin Zheyu still feels a slight discomfort.

The demonic energy tangled with the spiritual energy continuously tries to infiltrate his body, depleting his qi blood energy.

Other cultivators, after leaving the Dongtian World, would carry treasures that isolate demonic energy and purify spiritual energy.

But Lin Zheyu has no such artifact, hence the noticeable discomfort.

However, it is merely a noticeable discomfort.

It’s like mosquitoes occasionally biting him, annoying but not harmful.

Lin Zheyu adjusts and then pays no further heed.

"Chaotic Star Sea..."

"What a coincidence that this place is also called Chaotic Star Sea."

Thoughts of East Sea’s introduction flash through Lin Zheyu’s mind, an amused expression on his face.

The archipelago thirty kilometers from the East Sea coast is scattered like stars, and given its extreme chaos, it’s called the Chaotic Star Sea.

Here, cultivators coexist with mortals, the Human Race and Alien Race live together, creating an utmost chaos.

Lin Zheyu takes out the last positioning compass.

The positioning of Shi Weiping, the Martial Alliance traitor, is more precise compared to the other two.

Before joining the Martial Alliance, not only must one pass the Heart Inquiry Pass and make a Great Tao vow, but they must also leave vital blood or items for positioning.

The cost of being a traitor is unimaginably high.

Lin Zheyu cannot fathom what benefits could tempt Shi Weiping to betray the Martial Alliance.

Crash!

From the turbulent waters by the shore, a robust man suddenly emerges.

The man is bare-chested, his muscles sharply defined, and the qi blood within him is vast and strong.

"Demon Martial Artist?"

Lin Zheyu glances at the man, his expression subtly changing.

From the man’s presence, he senses strands of Demon Martial Artist aura.

However, upon further examination, he discovers that the man only practices an ordinary martial arts skill, with the demonic aura being innate.

A strong perception spreads out.

Soon, Lin Zheyu understands why.

Creatures living by the coast, whether from the Human Race or fierce beasts and sea creatures, all have a demonic aura within.

"Friend, you’re from elsewhere, right?"

"Night is about to fall, and it’s very dangerous by the sea after dark, I’d advise you to leave quickly." The man calls out to Lin Zheyu, holding a massive green sea fish.

"Thank you for the warning, I appreciate it."

Lin Zheyu smiles and clasps his hands in thanks.

As dusk falls, the demonic energy in the air grows more active, subtly overwhelming the spiritual energy.

The man returns the courtesy and, noticing Lin Zheyu’s apparent lack of intent to leave, no longer insists, turning and leaving with the giant fish.

Watching the man’s departing figure, Lin Zheyu finds it intriguing.

Where there’s peril, fortune resides.

The people living by the coast, despite having a denser demonic aura than elsewhere, have a physique nurtured by spiritual energy, stronger than people within Great Wei.

Their martial prowess is generally a notch higher.

Strong qi blood flows into the compass, repositioning Shi Weiping’s location, as Lin Zheyu smiles slightly, steps forward, and floats across the sea.

"Whoa, an immortal!"

"What’s there to be surprised about? Such ignorance."

"Yeah, you must be new here, huh?"

"..."

A buzz erupts from the coast.

Due to the dense spiritual energy, the Chaotic Star Sea has gathered many cultivators, making flying immortals more common than in Great Wei.

People living here for long have become accustomed to it.

Crash!

Howl!

The sea roars, with powerful beasts emerging one after another from the deep.

A massive tentacle shoots from the deep sea, trying to entangle Lin Zheyu.

Swish—

With a flash of a blade, the giant tentacle is sliced into two, crashing into the sea, stirring turbulent waves.

"Foundation Establishment level sea beast!"

"Why are there so many powerful sea beasts in the ocean?"

Lin Zheyu looks at the massive creature rolling in the ocean, a bit surprised.

In just a short journey of a few tens of kilometers, he encounters three sea beasts above the Innate Realm.

Each sea beast’s body is filled with potent demonic energy, merging with spiritual energy, becoming half-demon-like monsters.

As night falls and demonic energy becomes more active, sea beasts turn even more violent.

"Hmm, these runes..."

"The runes formed within the sea beast resemble some on my body."

Lin Zheyu’s expression shifts subtly, showing a hint of joy.

The golden runes on his body are demonic patterns cultivated from a demon skill, formed under the potent restorative effects of the golden energy and source power within him.

Under normal cultivation, Lin Zheyu could not possibly cultivate them.
