Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

"What do you call this Grotto Heaven?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously as he observed this unfamiliar world.

The maid found Lin Zheyu’s question a bit strange, but she still respectfully answered, "My lord, this is the Cyan Dragon Realm."

"Oh?"

"The Cyan Dragon Realm seems quite large. Do you know exactly how big this world is?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"The Cyan Dragon Realm ranks third among the Great Wei’s four great realms, and it covers an area three-quarters the size of the entire territory of Great Wei,"

the maid replied softly.

Although it was strange that Mr. Xiao didn’t know even these basic facts, the maid dared not conceal anything.

After all, since he was the lady’s esteemed guest, she had to seriously answer whatever he asked, as long as it didn’t involve the Lei Family’s secrets.

"Then which realm ranks first, is it the White Tiger Realm?"

Lin Zheyu inquired nonchalantly.

He didn’t know the names of the other realms, but hearing about the Cyan Dragon Realm and knowing there were three others made him think of the Four Symbols Divine Beast.

"No, the Black Tortoise Realm ranks first; it is the domain of the Great Wei Royal Race," the maid replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu’s expression revealed a look of unsurprise.

He refrained from further questioning, silently standing on the flying shuttle, observing this unfamiliar world.

Other than the plaza with the teleportation array and the small marketplace outside it, Lin Zheyu had not seen any other signs of life along the way.

Whoosh~~

The speed of the flying shuttle was fast and steady.

Standing on it, Lin Zheyu felt no bumps, as if walking on flat ground.

Suddenly, he curiously looked back in the direction behind him.

There, a powerful aura was swiftly approaching.

Lin Zheyu did not rashly use his spiritual sense or perceptual domain to probe; that would be extremely impolite.

In this Cyan Dragon Realm, a careless mistake could bring unnecessary trouble.

However, apart from spiritual sense and perceptual domain, Lin Zheyu’s vision was far superior to the average person, enabling him to see the figure behind him with just his eyes.

From afar, he could see a slender girl in white.

The girl stood on a longsword, her whole being like an unsheathed sword, with sharp determination flashing in her eyes.

"Sword Cultivator?"

"Such powerful Sword Intent, sharper and more formidable than any I perceived in those two Golden Cores!"

Lin Zheyu was astonished in his heart.

Though those two Golden Cores were lifeless, they still belonged to Golden Core cultivators, and their Sword Intent was immensely strong.

When compared to the girl in white, however, they paled significantly, the difference like that between clouds and mud.

"Do you know the cultivator behind us?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

"Cultivator?"

"What cultivator behind us?"

The maid appeared puzzled.

Given her Qi Cultivation Third Layer strength, it was normal that she couldn’t detect the girl in white.

However, the speed of the girl in white was fast, and soon she had caught up, allowing the maid to see the girl standing on the sword.

Whoosh—

The girl in white, stepping on the longsword, whooshed past the flying shuttle without even looking at Lin Zheyu and the others.

"This senior is a disciple of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, named Mu Jianwu, reputed as a rare Sword Dao genius in the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s millennium,"

the maid said with a hint of envy on her face.

"Lingxiao Sword Sect, no wonder her Sword Intent is so strong."

"I wonder what level of power this Mr. Mu has?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

Although Mu Jianwu was like an unsheathed sword, her sword intent fierce, Lin Zheyu, without using the perceptual domain or spiritual sense, couldn’t directly discern her power level.

Hearing this, the maid looked at Lin Zheyu with a peculiar expression.

"Mr. Mu reached Golden Elixir Perfection three years ago; it’s said that in less than two years, she will advance to Nascent Soul."

"A Nascent Soul at sixty, truly enviable!"

The maid spoke in a tone filled with reverence and admiration.

"Uh, Golden Elixir Perfection!"

Lin Zheyu was momentarily taken aback, suddenly understanding the meaning behind the maid’s earlier gaze.

He, being only at Foundation Establishment Peak, had referred to Mu Jianwu of Golden Elixir Perfection as "Mr. Mu," a grave discourtesy in the Immortal Realm.

"Mr. Mu is not even sixty yet, such a talent is terrifying!"

Lin Zheyu gazed in the direction Mu Jianwu left, utterly shocked in his heart.

Such talent was truly astonishing.

"Indeed, Mr. Mu’s talent is not only amazing, she’s also very beautiful," the maid said enviously.

’Truly beautiful, just too cold in temperament.’

Lin Zheyu thought to himself, but he didn’t say it aloud.

Saying such things about a senior of Golden Elixir Perfection could only bring disaster.

Whoosh—

Not long after, human settlements finally appeared in view.

Lin Zheyu looked at the massive city in the distance, faintly sensing the overwhelmingly dense spiritual energy within the city.

"Mr. Xiao, up ahead is the Lei Family City."

"In the Lei Family City, only seniors of Golden Elixir can fly. We need to land the flying shuttle outside and walk in."

The maid said respectfully.

"Hmm."

Lin Zheyu responded with a light hum.

His eyes slightly narrowed, fixed on the large plaque at the city gate.

On the plaque, the words "Lei Family City" were written in flamboyant script.

The characters exuded arrogance and dominance, carrying an inexplicable significance, as if one could see a sea of lightning at a glance.

A massive thunder dragon roared angrily in the sea of lightning, roaring to the sky.
