Superbase Evolution

Chapter 124: Stepping into the Immortal Courtyard

The breath-holding required in "The Sutra of Fear of Death and Immortality" is not just holding your breath for a short while, but it must be held continuously throughout the entire practice process, from the beginning to the end. Once you breathe, all your efforts will be wasted.

Lin Shen took a quick look. For the basic transformation part, it takes at least twelve hours to practice it once. Who can hold their breath for twelve hours at a time? Besides, this is still the basic transformation level, and the breath holding time required in the future will be longer.

An ordinary person can only hold their breath for a few minutes at most. Even some gifted people may only be able to hold their breath for a few dozen minutes. But that’s just what we’ve heard of, not seen. More than that, we’ve never even heard of.

After the mutation, the breath-holding time will increase. Generally, it is not difficult for a mutant to hold his breath for 10 to 20 minutes. Some mutants with special talents can also hold their breath for several hours, or even longer.

Such a mutant might be able to barely meet the breath-holding requirement of "The Sutra of Immortality for Those Who Are Afraid of Death and Greed for Life", but even if they meet the requirement, they may not necessarily choose to practice "The Sutra of Immortality for Those Who Are Afraid of Death and Greed for Life".

Because the Immortality Sutra says that after completing the first stage of practice, one will be able to gain an innate ability - faking death.

You have to hold your breath and practice for at least twelve hours every day. After practicing hard until you can level up quickly, you will be given a natural skill of faking your death. Only a person with a mental problem would practice this kind of evolutionary technique.

As far as Lin Shen knows, if one practices Tianxin Jue, one of the five basic evolutionary techniques, to the level of flying upgrade, one can at least gain a talent skill called "Mind's Eye", which can strengthen one's perception, reaction ability, etc.

The other four basic evolution techniques are similar. Although there are no particularly strong innate skills after practicing them, they are all practical skills.

You faked your death, but it's useless except for pretending to be dead. Do mutants need to pretend to be dead? Of course not. You pretend to be dead in front of mutants, and they will just pick up your corpse and eat it.

Most people don't really have any use for a talent like faking death. Only some special people can use it.

This is while he is still able to practice. Lin Shen does not have the innate ability to hold his breath, so he cannot hold it for twelve hours at a time.

"You can give it a try. Although I can't hold my breath for twelve hours, I have the theory of evolution. Maybe I can get used to it if I can endure it." Lin Shen became even more interested.

Most people would definitely stay away from this kind of evolution technique. Maybe someone would say that this kind of evolution technique is very special and might be very useful in the future, but if they really have to choose between the two, they would never choose it.

Lin Shen didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that this evolution technique was quite interesting. Besides, if he could really practice holding his breath, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of falling into the water anymore.

If you fall into the water again, just hold your breath and walk out from the bottom of the water.

While searching for mutant creatures, Lin Shen memorized the "Immortal Sutra for Those Who Are Afraid of Death". After he finished memorizing it, he burned the paper that contained the Immortal Sutra.

What if the person who created this evolutionary technique really has enemies all over the universe? Lin Shen doesn't want anyone to know that he has this thing.

This planet is indeed very large. After several thousand humans and thirty thousand Super-Rans were randomly teleported in, the chances of them colliding by coincidence are not high.

Lin Shen wandered around for a long time and only encountered a few alloy-grade super-burning people, and never encountered any human mutants.

After killing a few mutated poisonous insects, the mutation rate increased a little and is now almost reaching 50%.

He had already memorized the Sutra of Immortality and burned it to ashes. There should be no one in the world who knows that he had this thing anymore.

Lin Shen did not dare to neglect it and took out "Stepping on the Immortal Courtyard" to read it. This Stepping on the Immortal Courtyard was even more strange, with only human-shaped pictures, no words, no meridian diagrams or anything like that, just some simple movements.

Lin Shen studied it carefully for a while and found that these movements, whether walking, running, jumping or leaping, were all movements in motion.

"How can we practice this without words and without the process of operating the internal force? Practicing according to the movements in the picture, what's the difference between this and doing radio gymnastics? Can we practice the evolution technique this way? Come on, if it can be done this way, then all the students in the past did radio gymnastics, and I've never seen a single evolution." Lin Shen felt that these two evolution techniques were more ridiculous than each other.

He couldn't even master the ordinary evolution technique, so it would be even more impossible for him to master such ridiculous evolution technique.

“Forget it, let me give it a try first.” Lin Shen jumped down from the back of the big red bull and started from the movements in the first picture and tried it first.

The result was not very smooth. These movements looked simple, just running, jumping and leaping, but in fact they were not as easy as imagined.

Some movements were actually very difficult to perform despite Lin Shen's physical flexibility.

Although a single movement was a bit difficult, he could still do it. But when connecting the movement with the next one, Lin Shen felt that his waist was about to break and his feet were tangled into a knot. He fell several times after practicing only a few movements.

"This is quite interesting!" Lin Shen became interested. He liked these fun things.

After practicing for a while, Lin Shen found that these movements were extremely difficult. Some of the movements were even more difficult than yoga.

What's even more difficult is that these movements must be completed while running, jumping, and spinning at high speed, which is simply insane.

"Is this really an evolutionary technique? What effect will it have when it is mastered?" Lin Shen found it more and more interesting.

Anyway, he couldn't practice any other evolutionary techniques, and the theory of evolution didn't need to be practiced. It must have external stimulation to run automatically. So Lin Shen didn't have much to practice normally, so he just practiced "Stepping on the Immortal Courtyard". It was better than doing nothing and it could also exercise the body.

I have also tried the Bu Lao Jing, but I really cannot hold my breath for that long, so there is no effect so far.

Unless Lin Shen could take the attitude of fighting to the death and not breathing, allowing the theory of evolution to run automatically, helping his body to strengthen and mutate and gain the ability to hold his breath for a long time, it would be impossible for him to master the Sutra of Immortality.

Lin Shen was having a lot of fun here. Mo Shengqi and others had been wandering around the grassy area for a long time and unexpectedly discovered a building.

They were all wondering why there were man-made buildings in this place. They didn't dare to get close and just stood at a distance to look at them.

The building looked like it was cast in one piece of metal. There was not a single seam on the entire structure. From a distance it looked like a dark iron tower.

The entire iron tower is probably several hundred meters high, without a single window on top, only a tightly closed door at the very bottom.

There is a plaque on the gate with three words "Jie Wang Tower" engraved on it.

Mo Shengqi and others observed for a while and found that there were many words carved on the wall next to the gate. Upon closer inspection, they found that the content of those words was about "King Kai Tower".
