Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1648 - 1644: Breathing Techniques

In a trance, he seemed to transform into a True Dragon, inhaling and exhaling the clouds in the Void.

Each breath strengthened him a bit more.

He continued to grow stronger, shedding his scales repeatedly, becoming larger and larger.

In the constant breathing, he vaguely sensed a mysterious rhythm.

By aligning with this rhythm while exhaling and inhaling the clouds, his strength increased rapidly.

The clouds he inhaled seemed like Spiritual Pills And Elixirs, quickly enhancing himself.

However, maintaining this rhythm was difficult.

As time passed, he focused more and more on capturing this rhythm.

Yet the more he concentrated, the harder it was to grasp.

Letting go of thoughts and acting unconsciously, it instead arrived unexpectedly.

This strange rhythm was very playful, difficult to chase, forming an eternal pursuit over the long ages.

Always in pursuit, always in alignment.

At a certain moment, when he fully aligned with this rhythm, it felt as if he was in complete Unity of Heaven and Man.

One with heaven and earth, breathing with them, sharing life with them.

Time seemed to stop flowing; no matter how long, he wouldn’t weaken or age.

In the boundless serenity, he slowly opened his eyes and awoke.

He then realized that he was not a True Dragon.

Once fully awake, it felt like a dream.

The dream lasted so long, seemingly spanning tens of thousands of years.

Meanwhile, that strange breathing technique naturally remained in his mind.

He tried adjusting his breathing.

This breathing was entirely different from that of humans.

As a True Dragon, its breath was long and slow, endlessly drawn out like silk threads.

Yet a human’s lungs are limited in size, unable to sustain such breathing.

But Chu Zhiyuan’s body had reached a superhuman Realm, even if not to the True Dragon’s level, far beyond the ordinary.

Breathing deeply and following the strange rhythm, after several breaths, he entered an inexplicable state.

In this state, he felt he was not himself but the whole universe.

The universe seemed to be himself.

This state of Unity of Heaven and Man was something he had previously experienced during a Realm breakthrough, appearing as a rare phenomenon.

But often it was fleeting, hard to last long.

Yet now, breathing according to this strange rhythm, he could consistently remain in this Realm.

In this Realm, his perception of the universe became deeper and clearer.

His spiritual power spread out, and his Super Sense was amplified, seeing everything clearly within hundreds of miles.

Within several hundred miles, all mountains, rivers, Strange Beasts, exotic birds, Martial Arts experts, were vividly presented in his mind.

In a daze, he had the illusion he was the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Within these hundreds of miles of heaven and earth, he was the master, all-knowing and all-powerful.

His spirit continued to ascend, always rising, seeing broader horizons and sensing more.

In this trance, his mind suddenly echoed with a roar, as if the universe was just beginning.

This feeling of creation lingered in his heart, refusing to fade.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself very close to Nine Transitions.

It seemed he was only a small step away from stepping into Nine Transitions.

The inheritance of the True Dragon had such wondrous effects.

Especially this True Dragon Breathing Technique, truly profound and boundless.

Surpassing even his arduous training and efforts.

Meanwhile, in the True Dragon’s memories, there were records of the Taixu Tower.

The Taixu Tower existed from such early times, even in ancient times.

In the True Dragon’s memory, the Taixu Tower seemed to exist eternally, even earlier than the Divine Beasts, earlier than the great wilderness, earlier than the Divine Race.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but wonder: could it be that the Divine Race later mastered the Taixu Tower?

Through the memories, he knew True Dragons existed in the Divine Domain before the Divine Race.

As for outside the Divine Domain, whether the Divine Race or True Dragons came first, that was unknown.

Through the memories, he also learned that the Taixu Tower existed within the Divine Domain.

But it could also be said it didn’t exist within the Divine Domain, rather it existed in a strange state.

Without special means, the Taixu Tower rarely manifests and doesn’t exist in this universe.

If there are special means, it can make the Taixu Tower appear in this universe.

He couldn’t help but think of the Inheritance Hall.

The heavens where the Inheritance Hall is located could very well be where the Taixu Tower is situated.

But now he felt the time was not yet right to stand firm in that realm.

If he could step into Nine Transitions, perhaps he could revisit the realm of the Inheritance Hall.

At that time, upon leaving the Inheritance Hall, he could explore properly to see if he could find the Taixu Tower.

Yet he immediately shook his head.

Even if he saw the Taixu Tower, he could only watch, as the Divine Race still existed; how could he take it?

For a moment, his thoughts surged, until he was startled awake by the Elephant Beast, bringing him back to his senses.

He realized he had unknowingly reached the end of Dragon Mountain.

Dragon Mountain originally had over a hundred meters left, where he saw the True Dragon condense and stop, but now he had already moved over a hundred meters of Dragon Mountain.

Was it his natural action while inheriting the True Dragon’s memory?

The Elephant Beast was curiously observing him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Any thoughts?"

"Have you truly absorbed the True Dragon Blood and achieved the Dragon Body?"

"Can you sense it?"

The Elephant Beast said, "Indistinguishably like a True Dragon."

It had personally seen a True Dragon and felt its aura, now sensing Chu Zhiyuan exuding the True Dragon Qi.

This aura was unique, remarkably clear, and it was sure without a doubt.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes, I can now be considered a True Dragon."

Although he could no longer maintain the True Dragon Breathing Technique, he still retained the True Dragon Qi.

"Let’s go to another Dragon Mountain," Chu Zhiyuan said.

The Elephant Beast said, "Now that you’ve become a True Dragon, you can roam freely and go anywhere; nothing in this realm poses a fatal threat anymore."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He stretched out his hand.

A foot-long True Dragon emerged from his sleeve and then soared into the sky.

It grew with the wind, reaching ten meters long upon ascending a hundred meters high.

By the time it reached a thousand meters, it had grown to a hundred meters long.

"Crack!"

Purple Lightning suddenly appeared out of thin air, striking the True Dragon.

The True Dragon’s entire body instantly coursed with Purple Light, illuminating the scales clearly.

It appeared to be a Purple Dragon, flitting in and out of the clouds.

The Elephant Beast instantly watched the Purple Dragon nervously but soon relaxed.

After being struck by Purple Lightning, the True Dragon was unaffected and unharmed.

It continued to roam among the clouds, coiling and winding above his head.

The Elephant Beast withdrew its gaze, looking at him with amazement, "Now you can navigate the world freely."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "There’s no need to navigate the world, let’s finish moving the Dragon Mountains first."

The Elephant Beast said, "You’ve already transformed into a True Dragon, and yet you still want to move Dragon Mountains?"

"Bringing in all the Dragon Mountains offers immense benefits."

"With the True Dragon, there’s no obstacle in moving mountains anymore, no interruptions."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "My True Dragon Qi can intimidate Strange Beasts; could it directly subdue them?"

The Elephant Beast said, "They will avoid and distance themselves."

"Avoid and distance..." Chu Zhiyuan said, "These Strange Beasts are more alert than those Spirit Venerables!"

The Jade Pendant not only opened his eyes but also drew trouble.

Spirit Venerables wouldn’t dare come near, and those who did were often Spirit Venerables adept at tracking.

Yet now he felt a bit eager to see the Spirit Venerables daring enough to come.

These Spirit Venerables often lived long lives and were geniuses, engaging with them could yield great insights.

Through interacting with these Spirit Venerables, he might swiftly step into Nine Transitions.

But in the following time, no Spirit Venerables approached, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

So he returned to the Profound Yin Palace, preparing to once again carefully sort through the True Dragon’s inheritance memories.
