Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

BOOM BOOM BOOM——

The sound of thunderous explosions continuously emanated from Lin Zheyu’s body, and with every step he took, his form would expand, growing larger each time.

The surrounding demons, like moths to a flame, rushed at him with relentless roars.

Lin Zheyu’s powerful perception spread outward.

With his perception enhanced multiple times, even without unlocking his Spiritual Treasure, Lin Zheyu’s perception had already reached the threshold of the Golden Elixir Layer.

In his perception, these Five-Striped demon fiends moved so slowly, they were like snails crawling.

They posed no threat to him at all.

RUMBLE RUMBLE~~~

BANG BANG BANG!

Terror-inducing roars continued to echo.

A constant stream of demons surrounded Lin Zheyu alone.

The wings behind him fluttered with a soft hum, swiftly shuttling back and forth, his fists striking out incessantly, slaughtering them with ease like chickens and dogs.

When he finally transformed completely into demon form, the gathered demons all fell under Lin Zheyu’s fists, reduced to gruesome piles of demon limbs and flesh.

"So weak!"

"I must possess the power of the Golden Elixir Layer now. I wonder how I compare to that old geezer from the Lingyun Pavilion."

Lin Zheyu pondered inwardly.

He still couldn’t detect the tracking mark left by Fan Hongwei.

This made Lin Zheyu maintain a bit of awe for that old fellow.

Lin Zheyu had already been in the Demon Realm for over a month.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment level, without the protection of a powerful magical artifact, staying in the Demon Realm for a month is almost the limit.

If possible, Lin Zheyu would have wanted to leave as he approached the one-month mark.

Unfortunately, Lin Zheyu didn’t know whether Fan Hongwei had left or not.

If that old fellow was still waiting outside, to rush out would be to walk into a trap, and he did not have absolute confidence in dealing with Fan Hongwei.

Therefore, Lin Zheyu could only continue to hide in the Demon Realm.

"Once I get out, the news that I possess some powerful magical artifact will probably be known to many, won’t it?"

"What a hassle."

Lin Zheyu shook his head helplessly.

This place, guarded by the Demon Suppression Army, had many factions’ spies within it; there was no avoiding that.

But if it’s exposed, then it’s exposed, it just makes things a bit more troublesome.

As long as one’s strength is great enough, no matter what the trouble, it can be easily resolved under Lin Zheyu’s fists.

CRACKLE CRACKLE~~

A series of crackling noises came from inside Lin Zheyu’s body, his massive demon form rapidly shrinking to a three-meter stature.

Lin Zheyu sensed the location where the Divine Treasure was situated.

There, he could vaguely perceive an intermittent connection emanating from the void space within the Spiritual Treasure.

However, he couldn’t open that space.

Upon transforming into demon form, the Spiritual Treasure within would vanish due to the demonization of his flesh and blood.

The connected void space, without the Spiritual Treasure as a link, would be sealed off again, losing contact.

But this was just as well.

If the demon form could still connect to that void after opening the Spiritual Treasure, it would be trouble.

Demonic Energy and Life Energy, Qi Blood Energy are completely different types of energy, as incompatible as fire and water, absolutely unable to coexist.

If that void could be connected, Lin Zheyu would have to find a way to seal the entrance to prevent Demonic Energy from flowing into the void.

Draining the vast amounts of Life Energy and Qi Blood Energy he painstakingly accumulated.

With a mere thought, Lin Zheyu’s aura quickly diminished.

He leaped suddenly, plunging into the purple-red lava, expertly swimming continuously in a certain direction.

Lin Zheyu swam deeper into the purple-red lava; the further down he went, the stronger the demons became.

...

During this time, Lin Zheyu had encountered several other cultivators.

He didn’t proactively make contact with those cultivators, but under his powerful perception, eavesdropped on many names of demons surviving in the lava.

These demons were called Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends, resembling the legendary Qilin in appearance.

Because they lived in the purple-red lava, they were called Purple Fire Qilins.

SPLASH SPLASH~~~

The lava flowed past quickly, Lin Zheyu delved deeper, advancing for nearly five minutes.

The temperature of the lava here reached an astonishing level.

Even ordinary Five-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends couldn’t survive in such terrifying high heat.

Those residing here were mostly powerful Five-Stripe Peak demon fiends.

SPLASH~~

The movement of Lin Zheyu pushing through the lava became much quieter.

He stealthily swam forward, lowering his aura to the extreme.

His powerful perception spread out.

Even transformed into demon form, Lin Zheyu’s perception remained extraordinarily strong.

Although still not comparable to his human form, it had reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment Peak.

And possessed about fifty percent of Martial Arts Perception characteristics.

A few minutes later.

"That Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend finally left..."

Lin Zheyu’s grotesque face, covered in lumps, showed a hint of a delighted smile.

He had discovered this place long ago.

But because a Five-Stripe Peak was living nearby, Lin Zheyu was worried that any loud movement might attract the Six-Striped Demon Fiends below,

so he had not yet made any rash moves.

And now, the demon fiend had left.

"I didn’t expect to discover a human array here."

"The perfect fusion of demonic patterns and an array, an array that can utilize Demonic Energy, hmm, truly intriguing..."

Lin Zheyu looked curiously at the void not far away.

With the naked eye, nothing could be found.

But in Lin Zheyu’s unique perception, he could sense abnormalities in the space ahead.

There, existed an array made of demonic patterns and demon materials.

In the array, Lin Zheyu faintly sensed traces of spatial fluctuation.

"A human cultivator’s array arrangement?"

"Or perhaps a powerful demon, having learned human array knowledge, arranged it?"

Lin Zheyu looked at the void ahead, hesitating to act rashly.

From his month-long research, Lin Zheyu knew demons weren’t just mindless creatures driven by instinct.

Among demons, there seemed to be two species.

One kind was savage and murderous, driven only by instinct without intelligence. The other possessed wisdom, capable of thought, not driven by instinct.

These two species did not seem to be distinguished by strength or weakness.

Lin Zheyu had seen Five-Stripe Peak demons without intelligence and had also seen Four-Stripe demons with intellect.

Lin Zheyu speculated that this might be related to demon bloodlines.

Intelligent demons were akin to nobles, while those without intelligence, only able to kill driven by instinct, were akin to slave livestock.

Commonly used as cannon fodder in invasions of other worlds.

As for the special array ahead, Lin Zheyu speculated there was a good possibility it was set by an intelligent demon.

After all, this was the Demon Realm, and the strongest who could enter here from this spatial nexus were only the Foundation Establishment level.

There should not be any powerful enough to enter here and set up this array.

"Now to study it from outside, see if there’s any insight I can gain."

With a flicker of determination, Lin Zheyu cautiously swam toward that array.
