Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

128. Chapter 128 Another Breakthrough, [Pingyang Breathing Method]!

Chapter 128: Another Breakthrough, the "Pingyang Breathing Technique"!

Hiss!

On Liu Zimo's right shoulder, the small turtle that had been quiet suddenly opened its mouth wide and took a deep breath.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept through the entire underground cave, sucking in all the nearby spiritual energy.

Liu Zimo's expression changed slightly. He quickly waved his right hand to extinguish the strong wind, then turned his head to glare at the turtle.

Fortunately, the old turtle only took one breath, causing some disturbance in the spiritual energy, but it didn't affect the thirteen people sitting around the spiritual spring, who were currently trying to break through their realms.

Otherwise, he would really have to consider cutting off one of the turtle's legs and making soup out of it.

"Um... I haven't seen such a rich spiritual energy space in a long time, couldn't resist it for a moment!"

The turtle, feeling uneasy under Liu Zimo's gaze, explained timidly.

It's not really its fault.

Who asked its master to bring it here without even saying hello, to a place with such a dense concentration of spiritual energy?

It's like throwing a starving beggar who hasn't eaten for three to five days into a room full of all kinds of delicacies. Who can resist taking a bite?

"Master, I've been hungry for over ten thousand years, my spiritual energy and blood are completely depleted. Although I've recovered a bit by devouring hundreds of extraterrestrial monsters in the past few months, it's just a drop in the bucket..."

The pitiful turtle looked at its new master with a pleading expression.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich, can I cultivate and sleep here in the future?"

"And the spring over there, it's a waste to leave it there, can I drink it all?"

Smack!

Liu Zimo couldn't help but flick the turtle's little turtle shell with his hand, shaking his head to refuse.

This cunning little thing really dares to ask for so much!

Clearly, it has recognized the origin of this spiritual energy paradise, yet it's still pretending to be ignorant and wants to take advantage of him.

Not only does it want to stay here to cultivate and sleep, but it also wants to drink up all the spiritual spring water.

It's shameless and greedy!

No wonder people say "an old person who doesn't die is a thief." This turtle, who has lived for at least ten thousand years, has completely turned into an old fox, cunning and sly.

"Don't play tricks with me!" Liu Zimo lightly scolded, "I still have great use for this spiritual energy paradise, so don't even think about it!"

"But as for the 'Earth Vein Spiritual Spring,' after they break through and advance, I can consider giving you half of it!"

As soon as Liu Zimo mentioned the name of the "Earth Vein Spiritual Spring," the turtle knew that its little scheme had been seen through by its master.

Originally, when its master was young and inexperienced, it couldn't see the extraordinary nature of the spring water.

But unexpectedly, its master not only saw the extraordinary nature of the spring water, but also knew the name and origin of the spring water very well.

"Fortunately, the master is generous and didn't pursue it further. He even gave me half of the Earth Vein Spiritual Spring."

"Sss~! I really want to take a sip right now!"

"Ah, I really regret it. Who could have imagined that the spiritual vein secret realm I've been longing for is actually on this island where I've been guarding for months!"

"If I had known earlier, why did I waste my time raising those extraterrestrial monsters? I could have hidden in this spiritual vein secret realm, slept for a few years, and easily restored my strength!"

"Now, it's too late. I've signed the spiritual contract, the master has acknowledged it, and I'll be at his mercy from now on. Even if I find the spiritual vein secret realm, I won't be able to comfortably take a nap!"

While muttering to itself, the turtle lowered its head and nodded obediently to Liu Zimo, expressing its gratitude.

"Thank you, master! Thank you, master!"

Although half of the spiritual spring was not much, it was enough to partially restore its energy and blood.

No matter what, it's much more comfortable than devouring those poisonous extraterrestrial monsters!

While speaking, the turtle glanced at the thirteen human warriors who were meditating and practicing next to the spiritual spring.

It hoped they would break through quickly so that it could get its share of the Earth Vein Spiritual Spring as soon as possible!

However...

When it saw Zhao Jiajun and the others meditating and practicing, not only were their breathing techniques chaotic and inconsistent, but their efficiency in absorbing and converting spiritual energy was also ridiculously low!

The old turtle couldn't sit still anymore!

"Are the human warriors of this era really so inferior? Don't they even have a decent breathing technique?"

"At this rate, I'm afraid they won't be able to successfully break through their realms in three to five days!"

"And their breathing technique has such a weak conversion rate for spiritual energy, not even reaching fifty percent!"

"By the time they all break through and advance, how much of the spiritual energy in the spring's veins will be left for me?!"

The old turtle couldn't help but complain in its heart.

After witnessing Liu Zimo's strength and invincibility, it had always believed that the martial arts level of the human warriors in this era had already reached the peak level of the ancient times. At the very least, it must be much stronger than the martial arts level during the end of the ten thousand years ago.

After all, being able to let a young person in their twenties cultivate both spiritual and martial arts and successfully break through to the Divine Connection Realm and the Spirit Abyss Holy Realm.

Even in the ancient times, it was not something that ordinary people could achieve.

Therefore, after seeing Liu Zimo's martial arts and spiritual cultivation strength, the old turtle naturally thought that the human race in this era had completely risen and martial arts had once again prospered.

But now it seems that it's not the case at all!

The breathing technique practiced by these human warriors is simply rubbish, even worse than the breathing techniques practiced by infants in the ancient times.

You should know that the breathing technique is the foundation of all martial arts techniques of the human race. If even the foundation is rotten, how can true powerhouses be cultivated?

Thinking of this, the old turtle couldn't help but look at its new master with some doubt.

"Could the master's strength be so powerful that the breathing technique he practices is not this kind of rubbish?"

"It must be. That's how the human race is. They like to keep good things to themselves and are unwilling to share with others."

"Whether it's the ancient times or the end of the ten thousand years ago, the major sects of the human race are all like this, cherishing their own secrets and unwilling to publicly share their sect's secret techniques."

"These people in front of us are definitely not particularly important to the master, otherwise, how could the master let them practice this rubbish breathing technique?"

Hearing the thoughts of the old turtle, Liu Zimo's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He never expected that the Earth Grade and even Heaven Grade breathing techniques practiced by Zhao Jiajun and Xiao Feihong would be considered not even at the level of the Flowing Grade, directly referred to as rubbish in the eyes of the old turtle.

Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?

The breathing techniques practiced by these people are already considered the top breathing techniques in the whole world. How could they be directly called "rubbish" in the eyes of the old turtle?

However.

Thinking of the set of spiritual cultivation techniques he obtained from the Eastern Pearl, the Supreme Sensing Chapter, Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel a bit silent.

He had to admit that the cultivation techniques of the ancient times were indeed several levels higher than the cultivation methods of this era.

It's just that the ancient times were too far away, and it seems that there are no similar techniques passed down.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, the martial arts sects with the longest history, the Dalin Temple and the Dragon Tiger Mountain, were the only two thousand-year-old sects.

And the techniques from a thousand years ago or even more ancient times had long been lost in the turmoil and disasters, with no way to investigate.

"Master!"

Not knowing what Liu Zimo was thinking, after hesitating for a moment, the old turtle finally spoke softly to Liu Zimo:

"I have a set of basic breathing techniques that were passed down in the ancient times. I want to teach them to these little kids in the Golden Body Realm. I don't know..."

It just couldn't bear it anymore.

Seeing these people constantly wasting spiritual energy, it seemed that a lot of the spiritual energy in the spring had been consumed, which made the old turtle feel heartbroken.

Among those spiritual springs, half of them were promised to be rewarded to it by the master!

If it continued to let these people squander like this, the old turtle was afraid that it wouldn't even get a sip of the soup in the end!

Liu Zimo's eyes lit up.

He didn't expect that before he even spoke, this old turtle couldn't help but bring it up on its own.

It seemed that it was feeling sorry for its own half of the spiritual springs!

"Of course!"

"But it has to be tested by me before I can teach it to them!"

Regarding his two precious disciples, Liu Zimo naturally wouldn't easily believe this old turtle, even if they had signed a spiritual contract.

Moreover, he himself was also very interested in this breathing technique from the ancient times. If he had the opportunity to get a glimpse of its true content, he naturally couldn't miss it.

"That's natural!"

The old turtle had no objections. With a movement of its mind, it transmitted the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" it knew through the spiritual soul fluctuation it had sacrificed to Liu Zimo before.

Along with the "Pingyang Breathing Technique," there was also the matching "Pingyang Ten Forms."

Both were the most widely spread and gentle and peaceful martial arts techniques for enlightenment in the various tribes of the human race in the ancient times.

"This set of techniques is simple, but it was personally compiled by the ancient ancestor of the Daoist sect, Pingyang Ancestor. It is suitable for the majority of the human race's physique and has a very high universality."

"Even in the era of the end of spiritual energy depletion, which may have occurred ten thousand years ago, this set of techniques can still be practiced normally, although its power has decreased significantly..."

After transmitting the technique, the old turtle kindly explained the origin of this set of techniques to its new owner.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo's mind surged, and he quickly comprehended and evolved the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and the "Pingyang Ten Forms" in his sea of consciousness.

He instantly grasped the essentials.

Indeed, it was not as complicated as he had thought.

Moreover, the speed of absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy between each breath was unexpectedly more than ten times faster than when he used the "Extreme Dao Breathing Technique" before!

What's more, the efficiency of refining spiritual energy with this breathing technique reached an astonishing 91%!

It was definitely higher than the conversion rate of any breathing technique on Earth by a large margin!

"This is only the most basic enlightenment technique from the ancient era!"

"It's hard to imagine how prosperous the human martial arts were in the ancient era!"

Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel emotional.

After personally verifying and confirming its accuracy, he no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his mind, he imprinted the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and the "Pingyang Ten Forms" provided by Turtle Longevity into the minds of Xiao Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, Zhao Jiajun, and the other thirteen people.

"Everyone, switch to practicing the 'Pingyang Breathing Technique'!"

Swish!

The figures of the thirteen people simultaneously trembled, and their cultivation progress was temporarily interrupted.

However, when they heard Liu Zimo's divine message and received the two sets of martial arts suddenly appearing in their minds, they didn't hesitate and immediately began to switch to this somewhat unfamiliar "Pingyang Breathing Technique"!

At this moment, they still hadn't forgotten the breakthrough opportunity that Liu Zimo had promised them before entering this secret realm.

Originally, they thought that the opportunity mentioned by Liu Sheng was the extremely rich spiritual energy in this secret realm and the spiritual spring water formed by the liquefaction of that energy.

But now it seemed that it wasn't just that.

The "Pingyang Breathing Technique" that Liu Sheng suddenly taught them during their meditation and cultivation should be the real highlight!

Sure enough!

Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, Du Xuebing, Wu Ze, and others tried to adjust their breathing rhythm and switch to the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" taught by Liu Zimo. At the same time, they were shocked and amazed!

After mastering the technique, the speed at which they absorbed spiritual energy actually increased tenfold in an instant!

What was even more amazing was that the conversion rate of the spiritual energy after entering their bodies reached an astonishing 90% under the enhancement of the "Pingyang Breathing Technique"!

"It really is a great opportunity and blessing!"

Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.

No one had expected that Liu Sheng would possess such a powerful and extraordinary breathing technique!

Even more unexpectedly, Liu Sheng would selflessly and unconditionally teach them this extraordinary breathing technique!

Amidst their excitement and shock, the thirteen people didn't dare to be distracted and quickly focused on accelerating their cultivation progress.

Everyone wanted to seize this rare opportunity and elevate their cultivation to a higher level.

Everyone wanted to perform well in front of Liu Sheng and not disappoint him after he had put in so much effort for them.

Soon, it was Zhao Jiajun, followed by Sun Xincheng.

Then it was Ye Feihong, Du Xuebing, and the other eight peak Gold Body Realm warriors.

One by one, they broke through and advanced, all stepping into the Master-level Embryonic Breathing Realm!

For a while, Liu Zimo's ears and dantian were filled with the sound of extraordinary abilities and corresponding increases in cultivation.

"Your good brother Zhao Jiajun had a fortuitous encounter, and his cultivation soared. His martial arts cultivation broke through to the Embryonic Breathing Realm!"

"Triggered the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the martial arts cultivation increase, martial arts cultivation +25, spiritual power +5, soul strength +5."

"Your good sister Ye Feihong had a fortuitous encounter, and her cultivation soared. Her martial arts cultivation broke through to the Embryonic Breathing Realm... Martial arts cultivation +30, spiritual power +10, soul strength +10."

...

Eight people, all breaking through to the Master level!

This provided him with more than two hundred years of martial arts cultivation!

This led to a qualitative improvement and breakthrough in Liu Zimo's martial arts strength in an instant.

"He's reached the Mid-stage of the Divine Connection Realm!"

Liu Zimo's mind was slightly stirred.

He didn't expect that even after reaching the Divine Connection Realm, the speed at which his martial arts cultivation improved could still be so rapid!

Perhaps, it wouldn't take long for his martial arts cultivation to reach the pinnacle of the current martial arts realm, stepping into the legendary Saint Realm and becoming a true Saint-level powerhouse!

In comparison, his spiritual cultivation progress was far behind. After all this time, his cultivation in the Spiritual Abyss Realm had only barely reached eleven thousandths, still far from reaching the Mid-stage of the Spiritual Abyss Realm.

But, there was nothing he could do about it.

Who made most of his "good brothers" and "good sisters" pure martial artists, while there were only a few spiritual cultivators?

"Hmm?"

"What's going on?"

"The master's cultivation strength has actually increased by a small realm in an instant?!"

"He's already at the Mid-stage of the Divine Connection Realm!"

"But just a few seconds ago, he was still at the Initial stage of the Divine Connection Realm, and the intensity of the internal energy in his Qi Sea was far from reaching the breakthrough point of the Mid-stage!"

"Why did he suddenly increase his martial arts cultivation by hundreds of years in just a few seconds, directly soaring to the Mid-stage of the Divine Connection Realm?!"

"It's confirmed!"

"He must be the reincarnation of that old Taoist! The reason why his martial arts cultivation can progress so rapidly is because he has awakened the remnants of his past life!"

The spiritual turtle that had been perched on Liu Zimo's right shoulder sensed the change in Liu Zimo's martial arts aura and cultivation strength for the first time.

The old turtle raised its head abruptly, its two turtle eyes almost popping out and falling to the ground.

It became more certain in its heart that its new master must be the reincarnation of the previous master!

Otherwise, there was simply no way to explain where the sudden surge of hundreds of years of cultivation in the new master's body came from.

Liu Zimo heard the turtle's thoughts and muttered to himself, showing no surprise.

However, he was still somewhat curious about the turtle's ability to accurately judge his current cultivation realm.

Being seen through at such moments was not a good feeling.

In fact, after the lesson he learned the first time, he had deliberately concealed his aura with his divine sense, so why could this turtle still perceive the change in his cultivation realm at the first moment?

"Divine Ability?"

Liu Zimo had a vague guess in his heart.

After all, with the turtle's current display of only the Master Realm's strength, it shouldn't and couldn't see through the cultivation realms of the Spiritual Abyss Realm and Divine Connection Realm martial artists!

Apart from unreasonable Divine Abilities like the Soul-Devouring Insect, Liu Zimo couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Fortunately, this turtle had become his spiritual pet, bound by his divine soul, and couldn't betray him.

Otherwise, he would never let such a freak who could see through his cultivation progress at any time stay by his side.

After a moment.

Wu Ze, Zhao Dapeng, Lou Xiaoxiao, and other Gold Body Realm martial artists successively broke through a small realm.

Although they didn't directly step into the Grandmaster Realm like Zhao Jiajun and the others, they still gained a lot and their strength improved greatly in a short period of time.

When everyone successfully broke through, their spiritual power was full, and their aura was saturated, and they could no longer absorb more spiritual energy to improve themselves in a short period of time.

Thirteen people stopped meditating one after another and woke up in succession.

Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao habitually flew back behind Liu Zimo, curiously observing the little turtle that suddenly appeared on their master's right shoulder.

Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, Du Xuebing, and the other eleven people all stood up and gathered in front of Liu Zimo, respectfully clasping their fists and bowing in gratitude.

"Thank you, Saint Liu! We will never forget the grace of today's teaching!"

Everyone knew very well that compared to this breakthrough and promotion, the set of [Pingyang Breathing Technique] and [Pingyang Ten Forms] that Liu Zimo taught them today was their biggest opportunity and gain on this journey!

Ten times the cultivation speed, a conversion rate of ninety percent or more of spiritual energy!

With such a heaven-defying technique, even without relying on any treasures, they had the confidence to rapidly improve their cultivation in a short period of time!

Therefore, Liu Zimo, who taught them such a heaven-defying technique, was respected and grateful from the bottom of their hearts by all eleven people!
