I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 54 - 53: Eighth Generation Breathing Technique, Birth of Spiritual Energy!

Chapter 54: Chapter 53: Eighth Generation Breathing Technique, Birth of Spiritual Energy!

Has the cultivation technique improvement been completed?

Lin Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart upon hearing it.

Since half a month ago, after he brought back the Giant Stone Body Refining Technique, the Martial Arts Palace had specially formed a team to research it day and night.

Now it’s finally accomplished, which was no easy task.

"Uncle Wang, what are the specific effects of the new version of the Breathing Technique?"

Lin Chen couldn’t wait to ask, as the improvement of the new Breathing Technique would greatly benefit his personal cultivation.

Wang Lishan’s smile grew wider as he said:

"Chen, you’re the main contributor to this Breathing Technique improvement! Although it cannot be made public due to special reasons, rest assured... you won’t lack the rewards you deserve."

"As for the effects of this Eighth Generation Breathing Technique... why don’t you take a look yourself?"

With that, Wang Lishan sent the improved Breathing Technique to Lin Chen.

After reading the effects of the new Breathing Technique, Lin Chen couldn’t help but be a bit amazed.

The effect of the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique is about forty to fifty percent higher than the Seventh Generation.

Ordinary martial artists can improve their Qi and Blood Value by at least five points a year with cultivation.

Moreover, perhaps incorporating the ancient Body Refining Technique’s insights, the new Breathing Technique significantly enhances a martial artist’s strength.

"Uncle Wang, can I cultivate this Breathing Technique when I return?" Lin Chen asked.

Wang Lishan agreed with a smile.

"Although this technique hasn’t been widely promoted, it has been tested dozens of times without any side effects... You can rest assured and cultivate it!"

"Ah, the significance of this new Breathing Technique improvement is too great! Wasn’t the last iteration of the Breathing Technique a hundred years ago?"

Wang Lishan’s eyes showed a look of reflection.

Lin Chen also remembered seeing the old version of the Breathing Technique when he visited the Martial Arts Museum as a child.

Since the New Era, the Breathing Technique has been optimized hundreds of times.

Every few years, there would be some optimizations, like changing the breathing frequency or improving the efficiency of the Breathing Technique.

But those were only minor optimizations within the version, far from being major iterations.

Strictly speaking, over thousands of years, the Breathing Technique has only been updated seven generations.

The Seventh Generation Breathing Technique made martial cultivation several times faster than the First Generation.

And the ancient Body Refining Technique brought by Lin Chen officially promoted the emergence of the Eighth Generation.

This is undoubtedly epoch-making progress!

Perhaps within one or two months, the Eighth Generation Breathing Technique will be embraced by every martial artist.

In ten years or even a few years, the number of high-level martial artists and warriors in Great Xia Country will increase by several percent.

"And all these changes are due to me..."

Lin Chen thought to himself, a sense of accomplishment rising spontaneously from the depths of his heart.

As history moves forward, someone must lead, and he felt honored to have made great contributions to the progress of the Human Race.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen calmed his slightly excited emotions. The study of the Breathing Technique could wait for later.

Right now, he had important matters to report.

Lin Chen took out a palm-sized Array Plate and four Array Flags.

Upon seeing this set of magical treasures, Wang Lishan was initially stunned, then realized something, his voice trembling slightly.

"Chen, is this... the one I think it is?"

Lin Chen nodded with a smile:

"Yes, the Spirit Gathering Array that generates spiritual energy... I brought it back!"

Wang Lishan nodded heavily upon hearing this.

"Good, good indeed!"

"The Eighth Generation Breathing Technique’s improvement completed, and spiritual energy is about to be born... Today is truly a double blessing!"

He couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Wang Xinyu, Li Nian, and a few other core researchers also showed joyful expressions.

"Chen, what should we do next?" Wang Lishan inquired.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then said:

"I need a spacious location to set up the array... and the location should be somewhat concealed."

"Once the array is set up, it cannot be easily moved..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lishan waved his hand and said:

"Rest assured, this location has been chosen for you long ago!"

"Earlier, I applied for a piece of land in the Military Region’s back mountain... it covers thousands of acres, why don’t we go and take a look now?"

Lin Chen felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing this, the Military Region’s back mountain was located on the edge of Kyoto.

With the Military Region’s protection, yet vast and sparsely populated, it was indeed a good place.

"Uncle Wang, shall we go and take a look?"

...

A moment later, they arrived at the Military Region’s back mountain.

Lin Chen looked around, the place was indeed vast, with clear mountains and waters, and many century-old trees.

At the foot of the mountain, there were specialized martial artist soldiers guarding it, preventing strangers from entering.

"Nice, this piece of land is indeed suitable for setting up the array!"

Lin Chen praised while coming to a slightly flat hilltop.

Afterward, he took out the four Array Flags and, according to the Qian, Kan, Kun, Li orientation of the Eight Trigrams, placed them sequentially.

The four Array Flags were equidistantly placed, with the middle area approximately the size of four football fields.

Then Lin Chen took out a hundred Spirit Stones and buried them under the four Array Flags.

After completing all this, Lin Chen activated the Array Plate in his hand with magical power.

The air on the back mountain was silent, the group watched his complex operations without daring to interrupt.

It wasn’t until Lin Chen finished setting up the array that Wang Xinyu curiously tiptoed to look around...

But the mountain seemed unchanged.

Her voice carried a hint of nervousness.

"Lin Chen, why is there no response... was it a failure?"

Lin Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said:

"Xinyu, this is a Spirit Gathering Array, not an attack array... what response did you think there would be? Did you think a stone monkey would jump out after a earthquake?"

With that, Lin Chen slightly closed his eyes, feeling the changes in the world.

In the Cultivation Realm, even in the thinnest of areas, there is always some spiritual energy present.

But Blue Star has no spiritual energy at all!

This is extremely rare in the Cultivation Realm, and it’s referred to as... the Land of Spiritual Extinction.

But now, Blue Star... has just birthed its first strand of spiritual energy!

In Lin Chen’s perception, within the boundaries marked by the four Array Flags, spiritual energy truly appeared!

Initially, it was so thin that Lin Chen could barely detect it.

But under the enhancement of the Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy in this space began to rapidly surge.

Until a few hours later, the spiritual energy within the hundred-meter radius around the Array Flags had become quite noticeable.

"Hmm, the spiritual energy within this hundred-meter radius... is approximately comparable to the foot of Changchun Mountain?"

Lin Chen felt a slight joy in his heart, then went to check the consumption of the Spirit Stones beside the Array Flags.

Afterward, his expression changed slightly.

Just activating the array and maintaining this hundred-meter radius had consumed as many as fifty Spirit Stones.

"This Spirit Gathering Array is truly expensive!"

Lin Chen felt a bit of teethache, buying a Spirit Gathering Array isn’t difficult, maintaining it with Spirit Stones is the hard part.

"But fortunately, only the first activation requires a few more Spirit Stones... after that, it should directly relate to the number of cultivators within the array."

He thought to himself.

This is not difficult to imagine.

After all, supplying ten and a hundred people for cultivation, the speed of consuming spiritual energy varies greatly.

Moreover, if there’s a genius cultivating within the range, the consumption of spiritual energy will be faster!

Until the Spirit Stones and spiritual energy in the array are depleted... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Lin Chen remembered what the senior brother who sold the array had said.

"The spiritual energy generated by one Spirit Stone can supply ten early Qi Refining cultivators for three days. This consumption isn’t large..."

Thinking about it, he placed another hundred Spirit Stones beneath the Array Flags, which should be enough for a hundred martial artists to cultivate for a period of time.

"However, this method of consuming Spirit Stones and generating spiritual energy... remains like plants floating on water, lacking a foundation."

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, looking at the flowers, grass, and trees in the mountain forest.

"Compared to the emergence of cultivators, it’s more important to cultivate a batch of Spirit Companion Grass right now..."
