"Sleeping Immortal, Sleeping Immortal, lying high on the rock, forgetting his years, the three lights sink into oblivion, his nature is naturally perfect."
"The breath returns to the mysterious aperture, and the breath follows the natural course."
The " Great Dream Sleep Dan Art," which Limit-Breaking Level, operates in tandem with the " Crystal Meditation Method," which has already reached perfection.
Jiang Shu lay in the stone chamber, his proficiency level on the Panel increasing, and his understanding of crystal meditation becoming increasingly profound.
This is also a testament to the power of the Panel.
One certificate is valid forever.
Without the Panel, if he wanted to steadily improve his " Crystal Meditation Method," he would have had to the Xia Kingdom and research various materials related to Mind Cultivation in Cosmic Ruins to have a chance to reach his current level.
With a clear mind and no distracting thoughts, Jiang Shu felt as if he didn't know where he was or when he was.
The breathing became steady, increasingly natural, like a bellows. Finally, it fell silent, as if the person had died.
If someone were to look closely, they would notice that although Jiang Shu was not breathing, the cells inside her body were constantly moving, and the various endocrine systems within her were in perfect harmony, making her already perfect body even more perfect.
Strong bones, firm muscles, and enhanced organs.
The cells throughout the body perfectly replace breathing through the mouth and nose, and the Origin Qi of heaven and earth is gradually absorbed and strengthened by the cells.
This is a state of suspended animation.
It is the Fetal Breathing Realm!
Apparent Embryonic Breathing do not mean not breathing, but rather that acquired breathing has been completely transformed into innate breathing.
Strengthen cells and unlock their potential.
On the Panel, the Crystal Meditation Method has already Limit Break.
But Jiang Shu was still immersed in the Fetal Breathing Realm. He felt as if he had returned to the amniotic fluid and returned to the most natural state of a fetus.
The sensations of the Origin Qi of heaven and earth are all comfortable and natural.
A quarter of an hour...
One hour...
Three hours...
Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, Jiang Shu gradually awoke from her deep dream, a feeling she had never experienced before spreading throughout her body.
Shattering the Void and Seeing the Divine and Indestructible is to master oneself, proving one's own immortality through inner immortality.
This is already the physical limit in the Xia Kingdom arts.
Upon reaching this level, Jiang Shu could clearly perceive the shackles of the physical body and the impassable path ahead.
To find his way forward, he could only follow the martial arts of the Great Jing Dynasty, Body Refining, Qi Refining, Spirit Refining, and finally merging with heaven and earth to ignite his natal True Fire.
But now, having entered the Embryonic Breathing, he has undoubtedly embarked on a different path.
Mind Cultivation can also strengthen vitality.
Jiang Shu was inwardly silent, his mind suspended in mid-air, and he knew everything about the movement and stillness of the world beforehand.
The highest realm of martial arts in the Xia Kingdom is to Shattering the Void with one's physical body and Seeing the Divine and Indestructible.
In terms of spirituality, the Sincerest Path allows one to foresee the future.
See no danger, Danger Sensing Technique.
Just like Deity, they can foresee good and bad fortune in advance.
This level of attainment cannot be achieved through mere martial arts training; it is a cultivation of the mind, unrelated to the physical body.
"So this is Embryonic Breathing."
Feeling the changes in his body, Jiang Shu felt completely comfortable. " The Samadhi states are divided into Lesser Samadhi states, Great Samadhi meditative states, and Constant Samadhi. This Embryonic Breathing might also be divided into various states. I can only be considered to have just entered the Embryonic Breathing, yet it has already brought about a qualitative change. I wonder how powerful the states above it can be."
"There must be even higher cultivation methods in the Cosmic Ruins."
His gaze was vast, like a flowing river of stars.
Jiang Shu stood up and stretched, gathering his Origin Power, and then unleashed a Heavenly Star Dragon Seizing Hand.
His Mind Cultivation had reached the stage of Embryonic Breathing.
However, the methods of killing did not increase dramatically overnight.
Just like practicing martial arts without practicing boxing, one may seem powerful, but once facing Rebirth Realm expert, one's weaknesses will be exposed.
On the Panel, the proficiency level of the Heavenly Star Dragon Seizing Hand is rapidly increasing.
At the Fetal Breathing Realm, Jiang Shu's spiritual power was already comparable to that of an ordinary Rebirth Realm.
To continue cultivating this near -Quasi-Supreme Martial Art would be like a dimensional attack. Every day, there was visible progress.
Beginner, minor success, Great Accomplishment.
"Boom!"
Using his spiritual power to refine the Storage Bag again, Jiang Shu collected the Spirit Rank Treasure Item, the Polar Underworld Lightning Tablet.
He shot out of the cave like a cannonball, transforming into a streak of light and hurtling towards Hidden Abyss City.
More than a month has passed.
Hidden Abyss City remained unchanged from that day. The death of the young master of the Tu Family's Blood Arena, one of the five major powers, did not bring any sense of death to this chaotic city.
On the contrary, the Black Alliance Auction of Treasure Artifact like the Golden Ape Futon attracted even more martial artists.
"I wonder when the next Black Alliance Auction be. If only there could be another one with the Golden Ape Futon Treasure Artifact, I would definitely buy it! I've been stuck at the Aperture Opening Realm for a full fifteen years!"
"Buy it? You probably don't even know what happened back then. The reason why the young master of the Tu Family died was because of the Golden Ape Futon! At that time, Luo Yu, a genius on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings of the Great Jing Dynasty, won this Treasure Artifact at auction and was chased by hundreds of martial artists. But Luo Yu had a helper who ambushed him in the mountains and forests. The two of them worked together to kill the young master of the Tu Family! Even that Blood Wolf Old Ghost guy seems to have died there as well."
" The Golden Ape Futon is something you can buy with money, but you might not have the life to get it. I just hope they auction off some beauties. The beauty from the Great Qing Dynasty last time was quite good, but unfortunately she was just a genius on the Little Dragon-Tiger Rankings. When will the Black Alliance be able to bring back a genius from the Dragon-Tiger Rankings? That would be truly impressive. I, Old Yuan, would admire them wholeheartedly!"
"You dare to dream of the Dragon-Tiger Rankings? We all look like we're at the Aperture Opening Realm, but we're completely different in strength from those geniuses on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings. I wonder how they cultivate at such a young age. The Hundred Dynasty War is coming soon, I wonder how many of these Dragon-Tiger Rankings geniuses will successfully advance and reach the Rebirth Realm."
" Luo Yu definitely is. In the future, he might even be able to enter a sect and directly become a supreme expert like the Furnace Fire Realm. Sigh, that's too far away for us..."
"You know what, if Luo Yu really joins the sect, the Tu Family's Blood Arena won't dare to stay open for even a day. After all, if a Furnace Fire Realm expert were to descend upon Hidden Abyss City, he could probably wipe out the entire Tu Family with a single palm strike."
"Too few people can join the sect... The geniuses of the Great Jing Dynasty in recent years have been getting worse and worse. I think they might not even be as good as the geniuses who come from here in the future. Although the young master of the Tu Family died at the hands of Luo Yu, Luo Yu had the Treasure Artifact Dragon-Eagle Falling Feather Bow at that time. If he didn't have it, it's hard to say who would win."
" Treasure Artifact, this kind of offensive Treasure Artifact is truly powerful. Let alone Tu Ling, even if Tu Yuan went there, he would probably suffer a great setback if he was not careful."
"Keep your voice down."
As Jiang Shu walked along the road, with his current level of cultivation, he could clearly hear the conversations of various martial artists in the corners. From them, he learned that Tu Ling's father, Tu Yuan, had left Hidden Abyss City and killed all the retainers who had betrayed the Tu Family.
However, after a month of pursuit, Tu Yuan still couldn't find Luo Yu and the mysterious middle-aged man he was impersonating. He had no choice but to return to the city and offer a high reward for their heads.
Without pausing, Jiang Shu walked towards the Black Alliance, took out two Black Alliance Card, handed them to the manager, and asked, "How many are left inside?"
Due to the unique nature of Hidden Abyss City, Black Alliance Card are issued anonymously.
The Black Alliance only recognizes cards, not people.
After swiping the two Black Alliance Card on a gemstone, the manager looked at Jiang Shu, whose spiritual energy was emanating from them, and respectfully said, "Senior, this Black Alliance Card contains 32,000 Essence Great Elixir, and the other one contains 25,360 Essence Great Elixir."
"Take them all out."
"Ah... okay..."
A quarter of an hour later, more than 5,700 bottles of Essence Great Elixir were retrieved from the pill storehouse.
After confirming the count was correct, Jiang Shu waved his hand and used his mental power to capture all the pills, putting them into his Storage Bag.
The legacy left by Nether Lightning True Person contains supernatural powers, elixirs, and Spirit Rank Treasure Item that he cannot currently utilize.
The only usable item was this extra Storage Bag, which had a capacity of 100 cubic meters.
"May I ask if you would be interested in joining our Black Alliance?"
Seeing Jiang Shu nod in satisfaction, the manager pressed on, saying that everyone in this position was exceptionally insightful.
In the eyes of some wanted criminals, Hidden Abyss City is a vast and open world.
Experts at the Aperture Opening Realm are emerging in droves, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
But as the manager of the Black Alliance, he knew very well that no matter how big Hidden Abyss City, it was still just a city.
The Rebirth Realm represents the strongest combat power.
If they could win over a Rebirth Realm expert, the Black Alliance's position as the number one power would undoubtedly be further consolidated.
As the person in charge, he also receives extremely generous rewards.
"I know that for a Rebirth Realm expert like you, many treasures are just ordinary and not worth mentioning."
"But what makes our Black Alliance the strongest is not our collection of treasures or our control of information, but our connections with powerful figures in the various dynasties. After all, as you know, our first Black Alliance was a Furnace Fire Realm expert."
"Although I haven't returned for so many years, this also means that joining our Black Alliance gives me the opportunity to reach a higher realm than the Rebirth Realm."
" Hidden Abyss City may appear to be composed of five major powers, but in reality, the other four powers are constantly changing, while only our Black Alliance has remained standing."
The manager was still enthusiastically introducing the place, but Jiang Shu seemed to have sensed something. He used his Stealth Step and disappeared into the crowd in an instant, never to be seen again.
"Senior, look..."
Only the sound of the wind reached the steward's ears. The steward couldn't help but shake his head, swallowing back the words he was about to say. Just as he was about to leave the hall, a series of footsteps slowly sounded, and another wave of spiritual energy pressed down on him.
This spiritual force was even more domineering than the Jiang Shu had just unleashed.
He directly pushed the manager to the ground.
He knelt and slowly turned his head, only to see Tu Yuan, the overlord of Hidden Abyss City and the true master of the Tu Family's Blood Arena, walking towards Tu Yuan step by step.
"As long as I am here, the Tu Family Blood Arena will forever be one of the five major powers in Hidden Abyss City."
"For the sake of the Black Alliance, I'm just giving you a small lesson this time. Next time, think carefully before you speak."
"Also, within a quarter of an hour, I need all the information about the Great Jing Dynasty, the Royal City, and the Luo Family."
