Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises
Chapter 679 - 239: Spiritual Sense (Part 2)
A vast mysterious energy surged from deep within his body, sweeping the energy from the spirit stone into his body, alleviating the side effects brought by the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill.
At the same time, the true essence within his body circulated in a miraculous manner, using the apertures within his body as array hubs, forming a mysterious grand formation.
The grand formation stirred the spiritual body within his sea of consciousness, causing the spirit and soul to undergo a slow transformation.
This was a qualitative transformation.
The previously diffuse spiritual soul body became increasingly solid and powerful.
A few breaths later.
Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes.
[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source Power: 28
Skills:
Guiyuan Skill (Proficient 73%)
Illusion Flashing Soul-Chasing Step (Third Layer 89%)
Sacred Inference Spirit Skill (Second Layer 100%)
Thunder Roar Purple Cloud Skill (Third Layer 100%)
Primordial Infinite True Skill (Third Layer 97%)
"The progress is decent, much faster than I imagined."
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness; using two units of source power allowed him to cultivate the Guiyuan Skill to a proficient level, and he wasn’t far from a minor achievement.
The hardest part of spiritual sense cultivation is the condensation of spiritual sense.
Once the spiritual sense is successfully condensed, it will gradually grow stronger with the strengthening of the spirit and soul.
However, this speed is extremely slow.
If a cultivator does not cultivate the Divine Soul Skill, the spiritual sense only significantly improves during realm breakthroughs.
"Continue."
"The spirit stones probably aren’t enough to last until the end."
Lin Zheyu glanced at the spirit stone in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
But rather than saving some divine crystal, he wanted to condense the spiritual sense as soon as possible.
He took a divine crystal from his storage bag.
This divine crystal was obtained from that young man at the Observatory.
Although no issues had arisen for so long, Lin Zheyu always felt it wasn’t safe, so he planned to use this divine crystal first.
Holding the divine crystal and spirit stone, he closed his eyes again.
This time, Lin Zheyu used eight units of source power at once, estimating that around a dozen units would be needed to cultivate Guiyuan Skill to perfection.
’Use eight units of source power to cultivate Guiyuan Skill.’
The thought transmitted out, and a familiar feeling surged within.
A moment later.
"Still not enough, just a bit short."
’Use four units of source power to cultivate Guiyuan Skill.’
He closed his eyes again, entering the third round of improvement.
Lin Zheyu found that the difficulty of condensing spiritual sense was not significantly related to the strength of his martial arts prowess or spiritual power.
It was mainly related to physique and time.
Lin Zheyu’s talent in cultivation was quite poor, and the speed of condensing spiritual sense using ordinary cultivation techniques wasn’t particularly fast.
In the end, he used a total of 14 units of source power to completely cultivate the Guiyuan Skill to perfection.

"Haha, it’s done!"
"Finally succeeded!"
Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in his gaze.
An invisible force of spiritual sense emerged from his consciousness, expanding outwards.
Ten meters.
A hundred meters.
Three hundred.
Five hundred.
...
"Can only cover a range of more than five hundred meters?"
"Didn’t expect it to differ so much from the perceived domain."
Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, somewhat disappointed with the effect of the spiritual sense.
He thought that after condensing the spiritual sense, he would obtain a sensing ability far exceeding that of the perceived domain.
Unexpectedly, this was the result.
"The sensing effect of the spiritual sense is indeed much stronger than the perceived domain, but the coverage is too small." Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly.
Yet he was quite satisfied.
After all, being not a traditional cultivator, the condensed spiritual sense being somewhat wanting was acceptable.
"The senses towards spiritual energy have become increasingly clear..."
"The coverage range of the perceived domain has also further increased, hmm, over one thousand eight hundred meters, truly amazing!"
"The ability to control objects is far beyond what a spiritual body can match..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Lin Zheyu tested the role of spiritual power.
The Blazing Sun Blade under his spiritual sense control darted through the night like a flash of lightning.
Lei Yunshu hadn’t taken this blade back, as it was merely a standard magical artifact and not very valuable. Lin Zheyu had helped her so much, Lei Yunshu couldn’t bring herself to take it back.
Whoosh——
Puff——
The Blazing Sun Blade whizzed toward Lin Zheyu’s chest, a layer of murky True Essence Shield gathered around him.
The sharp tip of the blade pierced into the True Essence Shield, the mighty force causing the shield to dent inward.
However, that was all it could do.
"Combat capability is decent."
"The power of employing a magical artifact for attack is closely related to the quality of the artifact."
"The Blazing Sun Blade, a standard ordinary magical artifact, can’t even poke through my True Essence Shield, which is reasonable." Lin Zheyu mused to himself.
The strength of a cultivator is influenced by several factors.
Realm, cultivation technique, divine techniques, and magical artifacts are all crucial.
Among them, the influence of magical artifacts is the greatest.
If one has a powerful background and wields a strong magical artifact far surpassing their own realm, they can battle beyond their level, even several levels beyond, with no problem.
"I wonder if I can nurture a life-bound magical treasure..."
Lin Zheyu retracted the Blazing Sun Blade.
After successfully condensing spiritual sense, his attention turned to life-bound magical treasures.
In the Guiyuan Skill, there is a method for nurturing life-bound magical treasures, but this method is closely related to cultivation techniques.
If Lin Zheyu wants to transform it into a cultivation technique that a Martial Artist can practice, it won’t be an easy task.
"Thinking a bit too far ahead."
