I Have Countless Clones

71 Advancing to the Long Breath Stage

In the quiet bedroom.

The curtains were tightly closed, and not a single ray of sunlight entered. The entire bedroom seemed a little dim.

Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. His chest rose and fell slowly in a certain pattern.

In a place that others couldn’t see with the naked eye, Lin Shen’s muscles, tendons, bones, and blood were constantly trembling slightly, like a plucked string.

!!
At a certain moment, wisps of extremely faint airflow suddenly seeped out of the constantly trembling muscles, bones, and blood.

Under the guidance of some invisible force, these airflows slowly flowed in his body along a mysterious channel.

At first, the airflow was intermittent, and the flow was a little sluggish.

It was as if a person was stumbling forward, staggering from time to time.

However, as time passed, the flow of air became smoother.

In the end, even if Lin Shen didn’t deliberately guide it, the airflow could automatically circulate according to the predetermined channel.

After nine repetitions, all the airflow slowly returned to his abdomen and gathered into a ball, motionless.

In the next moment.

Lin Shen felt as if there was a light knock on the back of his head. A clear and melodious sound suddenly sounded in his ears. His vision first lit up, and right on the heels of that, saliva was excreted and entered his throat. He suddenly felt like he had been reborn.

The Long Breath Stage!

A breakthrough!

Lin Shen suddenly opened his eyes, and an uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his face.

“I’ve finally made a breakthrough!”

The Long Breath Stage and the Qi Transformation Stage were worlds apart.

It wasn’t difficult for ordinary people to reach the Qi Transformation realm as long as they worked hard.

However, talent and hard work were indispensable in the Long Breath Stage.

Many Qi Transformation cultivators had been stuck at this stage for their entire lives, but they had never been able to advance further!

To be able to advance to the Long Breath Stage at this age, Lin Shen was undoubtedly a genius!

At the same time, it meant that he had become an elite in Dragonside City!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Shen calmed the ecstasy in his heart and focused on sensing the airflow in his body, imagining it circulating along his meridians.

As expected, as soon as he thought of it, the thin stream of heat went to whichever part of his body he focused on.

Everywhere it passed, his muscles seemed to be filled with blood and ready to attack. However, it wasn’t the kind of tightness that one had to pull the bowstring to its limit. Instead, it was relaxed and abnormally comfortable.

“So this is the spiritual essence…”

Lin Shen heaved a long sigh of relief. He felt as if his entire body was soaking in a hot spring. The blood, essence, muscles, and bones in his body were clean and flawless, and his organs were flexible and powerful.

With a thought, the spiritual essence in his body surged like a tide.

His thoughts changed again, and it turned into a gentle feeling, like a spring breeze.

This power overflowed, and the feeling of being able to control it freely was especially intoxicating!

Getting up from the ground, Lin Shen quickly walked to the full-length mirror in the bedroom and looked at it.

After he broke through, his entire aura had undergone an obvious change. There was a faint sense of transcendence.

His face looked like it was covered in a layer of translucent jade. He was in high spirits, and his eyes were as bright as the stars.

After admiring himself for a moment, Lin Shen turned his gaze to the solid wooden bed beside him. With a thought, he strode to the bed and stretched out his left hand to gently lift it.

Immediately, with a creaking sound, the thick wooden bed rose from the ground and was steadily lifted about 20 centimeters above the ground. It didn’t shake at all.

Lin Shen held on for more than ten seconds. Then, he put down the wooden bed and looked at his hands in surprise.

Previously, although he could lift the wooden bed with one hand, it still felt a little strenuous.

However, he didn’t use much strength just now to lift the entire wooden bed. The whole process was effortless, as easy as picking up a small stone by the roadside.

His strength had increased by more than a few times compared to when he was in the Qi Transformation Stage!

“I heard Long Breath Stage cultivators’ spiritual essence would flow through their bodies, and a great power bursts out with every breath. Looks like the legend is true!”

A smile appeared on Lin Shen’s face.

Only by experiencing it personally could he understand the disparity between the Qi Transformation Stage and the Long Breath Stage!

It made sense. With his martial arts attainments and powerful talent, he could easily defeat cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Transformation. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to fight seven or eight of them alone.

However, he could only fight to a draw with Luo Yi, who was at the first level of the Long Breath Stage.

That proved the difference between the two stages!

However, Lin Shen was now confident that if Luo Yi appeared again, he would be able to kill him within 20 rounds!

There was no need to use the God Seeking Token at all!

After calming himself down, Lin Shen summoned the interface.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: God’s Jealousy]

[Stage: Long Breath Level 1, 1%]

[Cultivation technique: Origin Breathing Technique (Perfection), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Beginner 75%), Shadows (Perfection), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Proficient 12%)]

[Number of clones: 4 (94%)]

Having cultivated for the past few days, he also reached Proficient in Dragon Roar Through the Clouds.

“Speaking of which, I can start on the Forbidden Golden Armor and Meltdown now!”

Lin Shen immediately took out the secret manuals for the Forbidden Golden Armor and Meltdown from his storage jade plate.

Both martial techniques were martial techniques that could only be cultivated by those at the Long Breath Stage. Now that he had broken through, he could finally start cultivating.

Among them, the Forbidden Golden Armor was a Physical Enhancement martial technique.

Meltdown was a palm technique that specialized in defeating all kinds of weapons with its extreme Yang palm force. It could melt metal. To a certain extent, it was quite similar to Condensed Strings.

With Meltdown, even if Lin Shen faced weapons with his bare hands in the future, he wouldn’t have to be as restrained as before.

Without any delay, Lin Shen immediately summoned four clones.

Meltdown was a Yang-attribute martial technique, so it was suitable for Clone 3, who had pure Yang Body talent.

Clone 1 and Clone 4 were in charge of comprehending Forbidden Golden Armor.

As for Clone 2…

Lin Shen looked at Clone 2 in surprise.

Clone 2 had been lifeless and looked like it would die at any moment, but it looked much better today and no longer looked sickly.

After some thought, Lin Shen quickly understood.

After breaking through to the Long Breath Stage, a cultivator’s body would undergo a metamorphosis. His illness would be dispelled, and his life would be prolonged. It was said his lifespan would increase by at least 60 years.

It seemed it was because of the increase in lifespan that Clone 2 had such a change.

“Good. This way, Clone 2 can still last longer.”

Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction. He took out a Snake Orchid and let Clone 2 consume it before starting to meditate and cultivate.

“I’m still 6% away from condensing the fifth clone. I still need three days.”

At the thought that the fifth clone was about to be condensed, Lin Shen felt excited.

After that, his cultivation speed would reach another level!

The key was still his talent!

So far, every clone’s talent had brought great benefits to Lin Shen.

Even Perseverance, which seemed to have the least effect, had helped him overcome many difficulties.

This also made Lin Shen look forward to the new talent.

After a while, Lin Shen calmed down slightly and sat cross-legged. He restrained his distracting thoughts and began to meditate.
