Immortality Begins With Internal Breathing-Chapter 347: Furnace (I)

Morning.

After a night of rest, Lin Zheyu's essence, qi, and spirit had recovered well. He took out the basin. The water from last night had not yet been poured away and carried a faint purple hue. Threads of Baleful Yin force aura drifted from it. Even purified spirit liquid still retained traces of Baleful Yin force. No wonder martial artists below the Force Transformation realm could not use spirit liquid.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 7]

[Skills: Tortoise Breath True Technique (Sixth Stage: 0%), Azure Tide Boundless True Technique (Fifth Stage: 73%)]

Lin Zheyu looked at the data within his consciousness. After last night's enhancement, the Azure Tide Boundless True Technique was not far from the sixth stage. With 6 more units of Origin Force, he could raise it to the sixth stage and cultivate the Boundless Azure Sea Body.

Once I cultivate the Boundless Azure Sea Body, the total amount of blood qi in my body should reach four times the original amount, far surpassing the theoretical limit of this technique.

After cultivating the Boundless Azure Sea Body, even those with natural talent could theoretically raise their blood qi to at most three times the original amount. Yet Lin Zheyu relied on the Ninefold Origin Lock Art to break through that limit, pushing his total blood qi to four times its former level. Now the surging blood qi within him was so vast that even he felt startled. He took out the spirit liquid and poured in half of the remaining portion.

Use 6 units of Origin Force to cultivate the Azure Tide Boundless True Technique.

In an instant, his mind blurred, and he appeared within the space of consciousness, beginning endless cultivation. In the room, a vast mysterious energy drew the spirit liquid's energy from the basin and poured it into his body. His muscles, skin, bones, and tendons underwent tremendous transformation under its refinement.

Large amounts of golden blood were born from his marrow and merged into his bloodstream. However, Lin Zheyu wasn't aware of this.

Lin Zheyu only felt that his physique was growing stronger and the energy within his blood was becoming increasingly terrifying. Blood was the foundation of the physique. As the blood strengthened and carried greater energy, the physique would likewise become more powerful. After a few breaths, he slowly opened his eyes. A faint golden glimmer flashed within them before vanishing.

"It is done!" Lin Zheyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air. Feeling the vast amount of golden blood qi surging within him and the terrifying strength of his physique, shock flickered in his eyes.

He felt stronger than ever before, so strong that even he did not know what level his power now belonged to. When breaking through from the Blood Qi realm to the Marrow Refining realm, the greatest transformation occurred in the martial artist's physique. It not only reshaped the bones and renewed vitality, but also strengthened the body immensely, compensating for the weakness of high offense and low defense.

When he had achieved the Eighteen Transformations of Blood Qi and turned all his blood qi golden, his physique had already rivaled that of a top-tier Marrow Refining martial artist. Now, after tempering his martial cultivation into his marrow and undergoing transformation anew, he felt his physique was unprecedentedly powerful.

Boom!

He casually threw a punch. The terrifying fist tore through the air, and a sonic boom exploded within the room. Using less than one-third of his blood qi, he easily unleashed a punch that exceeded the speed of sound.

"So strong! Perhaps even my lightness and movement techniques can now break the sound barrier." Lin Zheyu felt the strength after the transformation and was filled with astonishment.

The advancement from the Blood Qi realm to the Marrow Refining realm was even more terrifying than he had imagined. This was mainly because his foundation was extraordinarily deep. The energy density of golden blood qi was astonishing. One unit of golden blood qi contained energy equivalent to ten units of ordinary blood qi at the tenth transformation. With such a profound foundation, the resulting physique was unimaginable in strength.

I wonder whether, at full strength, I could exchange a few moves with Senior Sister Gu Ye.

Without a standard of comparison, he did not know what level he had reached. He only knew that he was very strong. If he encountered the five yao martial artists from before, he could easily slay them. What he currently lacked was the true strength of a Force Transformation realm martial artist. Their power stemmed from their potent true strength energy. If they didn't have that energy, he could suppress them with one hand.

[Name: Lin Zheyu]

[Origin Force: 1]

[Skills: Tortoise Breath True Technique (Sixth Stage: 0%), Azure Tide Boundless True Technique (Sixth Stage: 70%)]

Lin Zheyu looked at the data within his consciousness. After advancing to the sixth stage, the Azure Tide Boundless True Technique had directly reached 70% completion. This stage focused mainly on comprehending Azure Tide true intent and condensing true strength energy to advance into the Force Transformation realm. Lin Zheyu had already grasped true intent, but he did not wish to condense true strength so soon.

1 unit of Origin Force remains. I will keep it in reserve. After my next breakthrough, I will use it to cultivate the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art and see if it has any effect, Lin Zheyu thought.

Since obtaining the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art, he had not yet enhanced it with Origin Force. This technique nourished the spiritual soul through a powerful physique and strengthened the spirit over time. Lin Zheyu speculated that Origin Force should also be effective for it. However, cultivating this technique would not significantly increase his strength in the short term, so he had no immediate plans to enhance it. Instead, he intended to circulate the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art constantly in daily life, gradually strengthening his spiritual soul.

The Boundless Azure Sea Body has been formed. After returning, I can decide on my cultivation path, Lin Zheyu thought.

He had discussed future cultivation paths with Senior Sister Gu Ye. She followed a domineering and valiant path. Besides the Azure Tide Boundless True Technique, she also cultivated the true techniques of the Shattered Star Pavilion and the War Dragon Pavilion. The Shattered Star Pavilion focused on strength, while the War Dragon Pavilion, similar to the War God Sect, cultivated Berserk true intent.

Even after cultivating three powerful true techniques, Gu Ye was not satisfied. She wished to cultivate the true technique of the Tiangang Pavilion to strengthen her defense. Yet this was no easy matter. After advancing to the Force Transformation realm, integrating other true intents into one's true strength was exceedingly difficult, beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists. Even Gu Ye had failed to accomplish it after many years.

Compared to Gu Ye, Lin Zheyu's ambition was even greater. He intended to cultivate all eight true techniques of the Wuji Sect's branches and ultimately master the Wuji True Technique, also known as the Primordial Wuji True Technique. Upon completion, it would forge him into a perfectly balanced warrior without weaknesses.

Though powerful, this technique had limitations. Cultivating the Primordial Wuji True Technique required extraordinary talent and comprehension. Those lacking sufficient talent might never form all the required true intents in their lifetime.
