Become My Subject, Breathing Technique

Chapter 25: Pledge My Allegiance, Breathing Technique Revealed, Yuan Tianzong Returns Indoors and Sits Cross-Legged, Examining the Withered Seed in His Hand Again.

"How can this Dao seed blossom and bear fruit?"

The Daoist texts in the Celestial Master Temple's scripture repository did not record any methods for cultivating Dao seeds. In fact, the records concerning Dao seeds were extremely vague, merely stating that Dao seeds contained traces of powerful beings from the past and were "witnesses of immortality" for immortal beings.

Terrifying future...

Dao seed.

Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao.

Numerous threads intertwined in Yuan Tianzong's mind, and for a time, he could not sort them out.

He wanted to find a path for further cultivation, but the more he searched, the more distant it seemed.

He took out his phone and browsed various information.

The night passed without incident, and the bright sun rose in the east.

As Yuan Tianzong walked out of the house, he immediately saw Bone standing on a large rock, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, bathed in the morning sun, a glow like a thin solar corona flowed around all of Bone's bones.

His posture was extremely strange, standing on one leg at an angle, resembling a vertically oriented sleeping Arhat, a peculiar stance.

He was cultivating, in a strange way.

Yuan Tianzong approached with immense curiosity, maintaining a quiet stillness so as not to disturb him, wanting to perceive something deeper.

In the Dharma-ending era, Yuan Tianzong belonged to the true "master leads the way, cultivation relies on the individual."

His master was merely an obscure nobody, and within two years of Yuan Tianzong joining the sect, he had surpassed his master.

When his master was no longer capable of teaching him, Yuan Tianzong naturally embarked on the path of self-cultivation.

This experience endowed him with exceptional learning abilities.

"Strange, a skeleton without lungs actually has a breathing rhythm?"

Yuan Tianzong was greatly astonished. This ran counter to his understanding of 'breathing.' Even a clever cook can cook without rice.

He slowly moved closer, circling Bone, observing him carefully.

His own comprehension was already incredibly strong, bordering on monstrous. Otherwise, how could he have broken into forbidden zones in the desolate Dharma-ending era and reached the Grandmaster realm amidst such bleakness?

This comprehension had further improved after absorbing and refining the secret power of the Golden Lotus King.

In a trance, specks of gold appeared in his pupils, allowing him to see profound changes that ordinary people could not perceive.

"His bones are vibrating subtly in a hidden way, that is breathing!"

"Breathing with the body, to alternately absorb vital energy from beyond the heavens?"

"Are there such cultivation methods in the world?"

"Rhythm, what kind of rhythm..."

Muttering to himself, Yuan Tianzong, engrossed in cultivation, unconsciously began to imitate and mimic the other's method.

Bones.

He could not vibrate his bones to breathe like Bone.

However, his comprehension was astonishing. He drew inferences from one instance and applied them to others, attempting to achieve a similar effect using his muscles, which were easier to control.

After a long while, Yuan Tianzong stopped his imitation, finding it difficult to get started.

At this moment, Bone 'woke up.' Seeing Yuan Tianzong so close, he was startled and moved away, retreating rapidly before tumbling off the large rock in a rather clumsy manner.

"Dada da?" The sound of a wooden fish, accompanied by hand gestures, asked Yuan Tianzong what he was doing.

Yuan Tianzong was also direct, saying earnestly, "Your cultivation method just now was very miraculous. I was trying to learn it."

Upon hearing this, Bone understood. His mouth opened and closed continuously, the 'dada' sound never ceasing.

Seeing that Yuan Tianzong could not understand, he gestured anxiously.

Yuan Tianzong shook his head, indicating he couldn't understand.

Bone helplessly lowered his arms.

"Are you willing to pass it on to me?" Yuan Tianzong tried to guess.

Bone nodded repeatedly, without any hesitation. There was no thought of holding back, making Yuan Tianzong feel a bit guilty, as if he were taking something from a fool.

This feeling did not sway Yuan Tianzong. With this start, he continued to guess, "You are willing to teach, but you and I cannot communicate freely, so you are frustrated?"

Bone nodded again, feeling that Yuan Tianzong was very smart and could accurately discern his thoughts.

"Alright, since that's the case, then teaching you to write should be put on the agenda."

Bone was extremely intelligent, like a sponge, absorbing quickly.

In just over half a month, he had basically learned many Chinese characters and could write.

Afterward, he picked up a small wooden stick and began to write characters on the open ground.

When the dense characters filled his entire field of vision, he finally stopped and turned to look at Yuan Tianzong, pointing to the scriptures on the ground and saying, "Dada."

"Got it."

Yuan Tianzong stood on the large rock, his gaze sweeping across the extensive text, memorizing it word by word, imprinting it deeply in his mind.

At this moment, Bone wrote a few more words beside him: "Master, I'm a bit tired, I'm going to sleep now."

Master?

Yuan Tianzong was slightly taken aback. He suddenly recalled the scene not long ago where he had prostrated himself before him. At the time, he had thought it was out of gratitude, but now it seemed the other party was actually prostrating himself to a master.

He hadn't thought much of it then and hadn't refused.

In the other party's eyes, this meant he had agreed to become his master.

After understanding the details, Yuan Tianzong didn't say much, tacitly accepting becoming Bone's master.

Just for teaching him this strange technique without reservation, Yuan Tianzong was willing to take him in and protect him from being bullied by other beings.

Furthermore, Yuan Tianzong had previously felt that Bone's origins were mysterious. Where in the world could such an Yin Bone exist?

Now that he even knew such a marvelous breathing technique, this suspicion only grew stronger.

He withdrew his thoughts and focused on the technique before him.

Soon, all the characters were etched into his mind, and he confirmed there were no errors.

Yuan Tianzong immediately sat down cross-legged and began to study this ten-thousand-character breathing technique in his mind.
