Chapter 154: Breathing Skill Effects

Beneath the abyss, there is endless darkness.

Every inch of space is filled with suffocating silence.

Time almost stopped, as if it was a ghostly void of the universe before the stars were born.

Fang Cheng was suspended in the void, his whole body motionless and extremely quiet.

The whole person has entered a deep state of "selflessness".

Self-consciousness seemed to break free from the constraints of the physical body and turned into free light waves in the universe.

Occasionally a spark would appear, then disappear in an instant.

It's like waiting for the opportunity for life to be born in darkness and silence.

At the same time, prompt messages appeared on the panel in the void.

………………

When consciousness becomes extremely active.

The body seemed to have lost its vitality, blood circulation gradually slowed down, and the heart tended to stop beating.

Until there is no sign of breathing.

Even the tiniest bubbles from the mouth and nose did not emerge for a long time.

It seemed that the body had been completely suffocated due to the extremely high pressure and closed environment.

But this is only an external appearance.

About every two minutes, Fang Cheng's heart would still beat slightly.

It then pumps blood vessels throughout the body to deliver blood and oxygen to other organs.

His body still retains the most essential breath, maintaining the most basic life characteristics.

The trace of heat in the abdomen seems to be hidden deep in the ocean of the body, appearing extremely quiet.

As the thought emerged in his consciousness, he trembled slightly.

In the form of a pulse wave, some energy is differentiated and spread out in all directions.

All the pores on the body opened immediately, absorbing oxygen from the sea water and then expelling the foul air.

Even the gray mist that surged up from the bottom of the abyss was absorbed into the body through the pores, providing some nutrients.

As the internal and external Qi exchange and circulate, prompt messages appear one by one on the panel.

………………

Extremely depressing environment, liberated physical instincts.

Significantly enhance the respiratory function of the skin and cells and maximize it.

It even subtly exceeds a certain limit and enters a higher level state.

The aura emanating from the body seems to blend into the surrounding environment.

Fang Cheng seemed to have returned to the fetal stage, surrounded by amniotic fluid and in a wonderfully comfortable and warm state.

This state is called "fetal breathing".

The breathing is continuous, like a baby in the womb, not breathing in and out through the nose or mouth, so it is called fetal breathing.

Many Taoist health books describe "fetal breathing" as the path to longevity and the door to immortality. It is a wonderful state in which the human body eliminates disease, returns to youth, and becomes one with the energy of the universe.

Ancient practitioners also believed that fetal breathing was the original state of life, which contained the fundamental mystery of the essence of cosmic life, and all regarded this as a high-level goal of cultivation.

In the eyes of martial arts masters such as Ma Jianguo, it is not as mysterious as some documents say.

Because humans inherently possess this special ability.

It’s a pity that this innate function is only possessed in the mother’s womb. Once born, this innate function begins to dormant in the body and can only be regained through hard training.

The fetal breathing in Qigong practice is actually a high level of Qigong realm that can be reached after achieving the unity of essence, energy and spirit.

It is a natural instinct exhibited by the human body in a highly tranquil state. It is a physiological state in which qigong exercises make the body's internal and external breathing harmonious and give full play to its functions.

This kind of practice can not only make people energetic, cure diseases and prolong life, but also promote the development of human potential.

At this moment, Fang Cheng maintained a fetal breathing state, floating in this absolutely dark sea for six hours.

Outside, the water was surging and the fog was thick, sometimes violent and sometimes calm.

As time goes by, it presents a pattern like the rise and fall of the tides.

It's as if the ocean is breathing, quiet and long.

The blood flowing in Fang Cheng's veins and the breath coming in and out of countless pores also moved like the tides, rising and falling from time to time.

The two echo each other, vaguely creating a kind of harmonious and unified rhythm.

During this process, more and more flashes of inspiration appeared in Fang Cheng's mind.

At first, a hazy, erratic light mist was emitted.

Gradually, leaping and dancing sparks began to emerge from the light mist, like fireflies on a summer night.

Then these fireflies that easily disappear begin to condense and stabilize.

Until a slightly larger light spot was formed, vaguely turning into an illusory flame shape, illuminating the small area.

The light was very faint, like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it would go out at any time.

But under its guidance, the heat current hidden deep in the seabed naturally generates an upward force, just like the smallest water flow flowing along the river channel, step by step.

Even if it encounters silt blockage, it can still penetrate through every hole.

After going through a full body circulation, it finally returns to the empty place deep in the abdomen.

Perhaps because of the integration of the mist that was inhaled into the body, the heat flow showed signs of increasing slightly.

Just after the consciousness and internal energy have merged and successfully completed a guidance.

In the dark abyss, the panel suddenly flashed with an unusually bright light.

[Congratulations, after unimaginable efforts and persistence, your skills have reached the expert level]

[Breathing Technique lv1 (0/250)]

[Get enhanced rewards and a chance to synthesize exclusive skills]

Fang Cheng, who was in deep meditation, did not pay attention to these prompts, but suddenly he had an epiphany.

Life comes from the embryo and originates from fetal breathing.

Entering the fetal breathing state is a way to return to the original state.

The space at the bottom of the abdomen that stores heat is the origin of life.

Practicing fetal breathing is a process of self-regeneration of life, and it also solves problems from the root of life.

In this kind of cultivation environment where the time, place and people are favorable.

The speed at which experience is gained from skill practice is therefore constantly accelerating.

Soon, meditation, following breathing techniques, gradually approached the upper limit of the breakthrough level.

Not only that.

Fang Cheng's body and consciousness are also undergoing some kind of transformation.

The panel flickered, and prompt messages flowed by as quickly as water.

[You are communicating with the natural laws of heaven and earth, comprehending the mysteries of life, and your spirit increases by 0.001]

[You are communicating with the natural laws of heaven and earth, comprehending the mysteries of life, and your physical fitness increases by 0.001]

………………

At this moment, Fang Cheng finally entered the legendary realm of "harmony between man and nature".

By taking advantage of the situation, the efficiency of cultivation reaches an unimaginable level.

However, the heat flow still seemed a little weak and could not produce a sufficiently amazing effect.

At this time, the crack on the seabed was thousands of meters deep.

There was a faint feeling of huge and heavy oppression, as if countless dark and deep things were surging.

If one's eyes could penetrate the abyss to the bottom of the darkness, one would see a strange and spectacular scene.

Here, all the sea water rotates around an underwater volcano, forming a huge vortex.

The whirlpool was mixed with a lot of seaweed, dead fish and shrimp, and even fragments of the hull.

Just like a spinning top, the stirring force is transmitted to the upper end of the crack, thus creating a siphon effect, continuously sucking in seawater downwards.

Fang Cheng was suspended in the dark abyss, concentrating on practicing meditation and breathing techniques.

The instinctive awareness of danger is always retained, and is even several times sharper than when self-awareness is in control of the body.

When the body is pulled by the suction force, it begins to rotate and sink.

All the pores on his body suddenly dilated, and his muscles trembled slightly, offsetting the pulling force.

During the resistance process, new prompt information appears on the panel.

………………

The turbulent undercurrent that could tear apart an ordinary person's body and drag him into the abyss became the kinetic energy that helped Fang Cheng hone himself and break through.

As his experience in the three skills continued to increase, his body gradually floated to a position directly above the center of the vortex.

Then it maintains balance and becomes stable.

The whole person also adjusted from lying on his back to a suspended standing position.

but.

The power of the vortex is still growing, as if it is summoning something, but also as if it is blocking something.

The dark abyss was like a boiling cauldron, gurgling with large amounts of milky white foam and evaporating into clouds of mist.

It seems that this is the "Sea of Milk" where the gods and all living things were born in the legend.

Then, in the deepest darkness, many blue fluorescent lights vaguely emerged.

Groups of strange black shadows were rising from the abyss and slowly approaching the sea surface.

Wow – Wow –

Suddenly, from the top of the crack on the seabed, there was a sound of water waves being cut apart.

A group of monster figures that looked like neither human nor fish gradually gathered from all directions.

They swam to Fang Cheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and circled around him.

Some of them made low hissing sounds and gestured towards Fang Cheng with their webbed hands.

Some opened their eyes wide, flashing a dim green light, and observed him with curiosity.
