Time flowed like water, like a white steed flashing past a gap, gone in the blink of an eye.

A full three years had passed since that vast, earthshaking battle between ghosts and gods.

On the Ghosts and Gods Cliff in the rear mountains of Flying Peak.

A little girl who looked no more than seven or eight, yet was extraordinarily nimble, was swiftly climbing among the precipitous cliffs.

With a single leap, she caught hold of a cliff face more than a meter across...

She traversed the nearly vertical mountain as though walking on level ground...

Wreathed in clouds and mist, the little girl climbed more than ten meters upward like a monkey in just a few breaths.

All four limbs worked together, her breathing steady...

Without seeing it firsthand, it would truly have been difficult to imagine a human could move with such agility.

When she encountered stretches of sheer cliff with no handholds or footholds.

The little girl would even propel herself with her waist and abdomen, leaping three to five meters through the air, without any safety measures whatsoever.

"The training tasks you give her are getting more and more absurd..."

Leisurely licking her paw.

Xiluo watched Big Girl's daily training, not forgetting to turn her head and complain to Li Boyang beside her.

Three years had passed, and Li Boyang was now three and a half.

At nearly a meter tall, he towered over children his age, and his crimson skin, so unlike that of ordinary people, was even more striking.

By comparison, his flowing red hair, which burned like flames, hardly seemed worth mentioning.

"It is a little absurd. She's still slacking off on such easy training tasks."

"Tomorrow, let's go to that waterfall at the foot of the mountain and have her learn to sit in meditation and steady her mind!"

As Li Boyang spoke those words in his childish voice.

Xiluo clearly saw Big Girl falter in alarm up on the sheer cliff, then immediately quicken her climbing pace.

"You..."

Giving the mischievous Li Boyang a rather helpless look, Xiluo decided to change the subject.

Otherwise, she feared that if this conversation continued, Big Girl would definitely kill her when she returned.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes..."

"It really would be hard to imagine that, three years ago, that girl was just a human cub as thin as a bundle of firewood."

"That Primordial Qi Breathing Method or whatever you developed really can transform someone down to their very bones?"

Her eyes brimmed with curiosity.

Xiluo had watched Big Girl grow to this point little by little, so naturally, she understood just how incredible the process had been.

"What do you mean, 'that Primordial Qi Breathing Method'?"

"It's the Seventh Edition, Exercise-Type Life Primordial Qi Regulation Breathing Method!"

"How many times have I told you? It's not even a difficult name to remember!"

This time, it was Li Boyang's turn to glare at Xiluo in displeasure.

Because he knew she had deliberately gotten the breathing method's name wrong.

Just as with the "Sleepy Bug Breeding and Eugenics Plan" and the "Crustacean Eugenics and Nurturing Project" before it.

Xiluo had always felt that, when it came to naming things, Li Boyang had a certain... unusual preference?

Not only did he like using obscure words, but the combinations were long, difficult to remember, and not particularly pleasing to the ear.

Over time, Xiluo had learned to shorten them automatically.

"Don't get hung up on that."

"What I'm curious about now is how this latest version of the Primordial Qi Breathing Method actually works."

"I tried the previous version of the Primordial Qi Breathing Method myself. It shouldn't have been capable of producing such an enormous improvement, should it?"

Looking at Xiluo's eyes, which brimmed with a thirst for knowledge, Li Boyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Compared to the sixth version of the breathing method, this time I focused on exploring how Life Primordial Qi strengthens the body."

"As long as you keep Life Primordial Qi flowing while exercising, you can strengthen your physique to the greatest extent possible and perform all sorts of movements far beyond ordinary people."

At this point, Li Boyang paused briefly.

"But for spirits like you, born with Divine Abilities, this is merely an innate talent."

"You actually learned to circulate Primordial Qi long ago. You simply didn't know it yourselves..."

Through his long research, Li Boyang had discovered that this world was actually no different in essence from Earth in his previous life.

Everything extraordinary about this world came from a special substance called "Primordial Qi."

All things in heaven and earth, all the phenomena of nature-anything that moved through cycles would produce its corresponding Primordial Qi.

The sun, the moon, mountains and rivers, the earth, and even life and death...

The substance called "Primordial Qi" in the Nine Chapters on the Secrets of Divination had endowed this world with its transcendent side.

Among the many kinds of Primordial Qi, those Li Boyang encountered most often were undoubtedly his own Life Primordial Qi and the Sha Qi from deep within the earth.

The former was something every living creature necessarily possessed, while the latter came from Ruifu's Curse.

On the one hand, perhaps he could not bear Big Girl's pitiful gaze...

On the other, it was also out of pure curiosity and a thirst for knowledge...

Ever since three years ago, Li Boyang had been studying the nature of Life Primordial Qi, hoping to see whether he could give Big Girl a physique like his own.

The first version of the "Life Primordial Qi Regulation Breathing Method," without the "Exercise-Type" prefix, had come into being as a result.

In fact, after Li Boyang was born, he had known that Life Primordial Qi was intimately connected to the strength of life itself.

As ordinary creatures grew and moved, they constantly consumed their own Life Primordial Qi.

When their Life Primordial Qi ran out, the day of old age and grave illness would arrive.

The whole process was like the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, an inviolable law of the world.

But thanks to the Heavenly Eye between his brows, Li Boyang had noticed long ago that many factors could actually affect Life Primordial Qi indirectly.

For example, eating enough and eating well could replenish depleted Life Primordial Qi to a certain extent.

This was especially true for children who had not yet reached adulthood.

As long as they ate well enough, their Primordial Qi could even grow faster than it dissipated.

At the same time, maintaining a healthy daily routine could likewise slow the dissipation of Life Primordial Qi as much as possible.

However, none of the above was the most crucial factor.

Most crucially, a person's breathing rhythm also affected Life Primordial Qi.

Although the effects of breathing rhythm on Life Primordial Qi were nowhere near as direct as those of external influences.

Breathing was, after all, an innate instinct that continued without interruption twenty-four hours a day.

As long as one maintained the most correct breathing rhythm, letting small amounts accumulate into plenty and gathering grains of sand into a tower, its effect on Life Primordial Qi would undoubtedly be the greatest.

That was where the words "Breathing Method" in the "Exercise-Type Life Primordial Qi Regulation Breathing Method" came from.
