Beneath the abyss, darkness was boundless.

Every inch of space was permeated with a suffocating stillness.

Time, too, had almost stopped, like the ghostly void of the universe before the birth of stars.

Fang Cheng floated in this void, his entire body still and silent to the extreme.

He had entered a deep state of 'selflessness'.

His self-awareness seemed to break free from the shackles of his physical body, transforming into wandering light waves in the universe.

Occasionally, a spark would bloom, only to vanish in an instant.

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

At the same time, notifications appeared on the panel in the void.

… … … … … …

When his consciousness became extremely active,

his body seemed to have lost its vitality, his blood circulation gradually slowed down, and his heart tended towards stopping.

Until there was no sign of breathing.

Even the slightest bubble at his nose and mouth did not appear for a long time.

Seemingly due to the extremely high-pressure sealed environment, his body had completely suffocated.

But this was only an external appearance.

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

Then it would pump through the blood vessels of his entire body, delivering blood and oxygen to the other organs.

He still retained the most fundamental trace of breathing within his body, maintaining the most basic life signs.

The warm current in his abdomen was like being hidden in the depths of the ocean of his body, appearing incomparably quiet.

As his consciousness sprouted a thought, it trembled slightly.

In the form of a pulse wave, it differentiated into a little energy, spreading out in all directions.

The pores all over his body immediately opened up, absorbing oxygen from the seawater and then expelling turbid air.

Even the grayish-white mist rising from the bottom of the abyss was absorbed into his body through his pores, providing some kind of nourishment.

Accompanying the exchange and circulation of internal and external air, notifications appeared one by one on the panel.

… … … … … …

The extremely oppressive environment unleashed the body's instincts.

Significantly enhancing the respiratory functions of the skin and cells, pushing them to the extreme.

Fang Cheng seemed to have returned to his fetal stage, surrounded by amniotic fluid, placed in an incomparably comfortable, warm and harmonious, wonderful state.

This state is called 'fetal breathing'.

The breath is continuous, like a child in the womb, not breathing through the nose and mouth, hence it is called fetal breathing.

Many Taoist health cultivation classics describe 'fetal breathing' as the path to longevity, the gateway to immortality, a wonderful realm where the human body eliminates diseases, returns to youth, and merges with the energy of the universe.

Ancient cultivators also believed that fetal breathing was the original state of life, containing the fundamental mysteries of the essence of cosmic life, and all regarded it as a high-level goal of cultivation.

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

Because humans originally possess this special ability.

It is a pity that it is only present in the mother's womb, and once born, this innate function begins to lie dormant in the body, requiring arduous acquired training to regain it.

The fetal breathing in Qigong practice is actually a profound Qigong realm that can be achieved after realizing the integration of essence, qi, and spirit.

It is a natural instinct manifested by the human body in a state of deep tranquility, a physiological state in which the internal and external breathing of the human body are harmoniously consistent and its functions are fully utilized through Qigong exercises.

This method of cultivation can not only make people energetic, dispel diseases and prolong life, but also promote the development of human potential.

Fang Cheng was maintaining a state of fetal breathing, floating in this absolutely dark sea area for as long as six hours.

The outside water flowed turbulently, and the mist diffused, sometimes violently and sometimes calmly.

As time went by, it presented a pattern like the ebb and flow of tides.

As if the ocean was breathing, calmly and leisurely.

The blood flowing through Fang Cheng's body's blood vessels, and the breath exhaled and inhaled by countless pores, also operated like tides, rising and falling from time to time.

The two echoed each other, vaguely producing a harmonious and unified rhythm.

In this process, the flashes of inspiration in Fang Cheng's mind became more and more numerous.

Initially, it emitted a hazy, erratic mist of light.

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

Then these easily disappearing fireflies began to condense and stabilize.

Until it formed a slightly larger spot of light, vaguely transforming into the shape of a illusory flame, illuminating a small area.

This spot of light was very weak, like a flickering candle in the wind, seeming to be extinguished at any time.

But under its guidance, the warm current lurking in the depths of the seabed actually naturally generated an upward momentum.

It was like the finest stream of water following the river channel, proceeding gradually.

Even if it encountered silt blockage, it could still be all-pervasive, seeping through.

After experiencing a full body circulation, it finally returned to the empty space deep in the abdomen.

Perhaps because it had fused with the mist absorbed into the body, the warm current vaguely showed some signs of enlargement.

Just as the consciousness and internal energy merged, successfully completing an guidance,

in the dark abyss, the panel instantly flashed with an exceptionally brilliant light.

[Congratulations, through extraordinary effort and persistence, your skill has reached the Expert level]

[Breathing Technique lv1 (0/250)]

[Gained enhancement reward, an opportunity to synthesize an exclusive skill]

Fang Cheng, who was in a deep state of meditation, did not pay attention to these notifications, but suddenly gained an understanding.

Life comes from the embryo, and originates from fetal breathing.

Entering the state of fetal breathing is a way to return to the innate.

And the space in the abdomen that stores the warm current is the place of the origin of life.

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

In this cultivating environment with the right time, right place, and right people.

The experience growth rate of skill practice therefore continues to accelerate.

Soon, meditation also gradually approached the level limit for breakthrough after the breathing technique.

Not only that.

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

The panel flashed with light, and notifications flowed by rapidly like water.

[You are communicating with the laws of heaven and earth, comprehending the mysteries of life, Spirit increased by 0.001]

[You are communicating with the laws of heaven and earth, comprehending the mysteries of life, Physique increased by 0.001]

… … … … … …

At this moment, Fang Cheng finally completely entered the legendary realm of 'unity of heaven and man'.

Under the guidance of the situation, the cultivation efficiency reached an unimaginable level.

However, the warm current still seemed somewhat weak, unable to exert a sufficiently amazing effect.

And at this time, several thousand meters below the seabed crack.

A huge and heavy sense of oppression was vaguely transmitted, as if countless dark and deep things were surging.

If someone's gaze could penetrate the abyss, all the way to the bottom of the darkness, they could see a strange and magnificent scene.

Here, all the seawater revolved around a submarine volcano, forming a huge vortex.

The vortex was mixed with many corpses of seaweed, fish, and shrimp, and even fragments of ship hulls.

It kept rotating like a spinning top, and the stirring force was transmitted to the upper end of the crack, thereby creating a siphon effect, constantly sucking seawater down.

Fang Cheng floated in the dark abyss, focused on practicing meditation and breathing techniques.

However, the instinctive consciousness of danger was always retained, even several times more sensitive than when the self-consciousness controlled the body.

When his body was pulled by this suction and began to rotate and sink.

The pores all over his body suddenly stretched out, while the muscles trembled slightly, counteracting the pulling force.

The panel also showed new notifications during the resistance process.

… … … … … …

The turbulent undercurrent that could tear ordinary people's bodies and drag them into the abyss became Fang Cheng's momentum to temper himself and break through.

As the experience of the three skills continued to increase simultaneously, his body gradually floated to the top, directly above the center of the vortex.

Then it maintained balance and tended to stabilize.

His whole body also adjusted from a supine lying position to a floating standing position.

However.

The power of the vortex was still increasing, as if it was summoning something, or as if it was preventing something.

The dark abyss was like a completely boiling cauldron, gurgling and constantly surging with a large amount of milky white foam, evaporating into团团 of mist.

It seemed that this was the 'Milky Sea' where gods and all beings were born in legends.

Subsequently, in the deepest darkness, many blue fluorescent lights vaguely appeared.

Groups of strangely shaped black shadows were rising slowly from the abyss, slowly approaching the sea surface.

Whoosh—whoosh—

From the upper end of the seabed crack, there was suddenly a sound of water being cut open.

A group of monsters that were like humans and yet not humans, like fish and yet not fish, gradually gathered from all directions.

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

Some made low hissing sounds, gesturing towards Fang Cheng with their long, webbed hands.

Some widened their eyes, which flickered with a dark green light, observing him with curiosity.
