"The Stone Cast Earth Treasure Divine Power is to use the earth to nurture treasures. The Fetal Breathing Technique is about the Cultivator's own body being nurtured by heaven and earth before being born as a fetus. Although the two seem different, in essence, they are two sides of the same coin."
"Therefore, used in tandem, they create a marvelous resonance."
Sun Lingtong's comprehension was not inferior to Ning Zhuo's.
In recent days, he had been devoted to helping Ning Zhuo burn the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat faster by fully comprehending the 'Heavenly Born Earth Nourished Fetal Breath Great Method.'
Surprisingly, this selfless act unexpectedly helped him, significantly enhancing his physical foundation.
Hearing Sun Lingtong's insights, Ning Zhuo immediately realized that Sun Lingtong's understanding of the 'Heavenly Born Earth Nourished Fetal Breath Great Method' far surpassed his own.
Clearly, Sun Lingtong was not a Body Cultivator.
But upon further thought, Ning Zhuo understood.
Sun Lingtong hailed from the Bukong Sect and possessed the Empty Seal. His profound understanding of the Art of Void was much akin to the state described in the Fetal Breathing Technique. Divine essence ceasing in empty mind, the heart unaffected by thoughts, without coming or going, neither exiting nor entering, can also be rudely equated to letting one's thoughts drift into emptiness.
Ning Zhuo: "Big brother, for such scriptures, I still have to learn from you."
Sun Lingtong: "Hey, for us brothers to talk like this, it makes us feel distant. Once I fully comprehend it and confirm there are no mistakes, I'll teach you everything!"
The two exchanged smiles and resumed their work.
With Ning Zhuo's assistance, Sun Lingtong immediately felt the defenses of the Stone Ball loosen significantly.
He dug with vigorous enthusiasm.
Gradually, he felt unable to continue digging.
Sun Lingtong looked back at Ning Zhuo and saw the latter with his eyes closed tightly, frowning slightly.
Sun Lingtong thought to himself: "It seems that the more complete the mastery of Divine Skills, the higher the difficulty of learning them!"
"But, Little Zhuo is definitely not someone easily deterred." Sun Lingtong had much more confidence in Ning Zhuo than Ning Zhuo had in himself.
However, for a while, Sun Lingtong found himself with nothing to do.
The Medicine Mud covering him was drying up, and his exposed skin was quickly petrifying, at a much faster rate than he had previously experienced.
Sun Lingtong chuckled, not bothered in the least.
With successful treatment, these Dao Injuries became the nourishment for the growth of his physical foundation!
Seeing the Stone Skin on his body, Sun Lingtong suddenly paused, a bold idea popping into his little head.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's habit of careful consideration and continuous re-evaluation, Sun Lingtong acted as soon as he thought of something.
He chuckled and directly moved the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat out from the Mechanical Dragon.
He pressed the Spirit Boat against the surface of the Stone Ball and then lay down inside it.
The Stone Skin gradually solidified, swiftly covering the Spirit Boat.
The boat trembled intensely, revealing the entirety of the 'Heavenly Born Earth Nourished Fetal Breath Great Method.'
Just as when Ning Zhuo burned it with fire, the Spirit Boat, in its self-preservation, triggered all its power and entered the state of Fetal Breathing.
Sun Lingtong thus benefitted, with Heaven and Earth Essence pouring into his body, his physique improving by leaps and bounds!
Such an Evil Sect method, while unconventional, was incredibly efficient, hundreds of times more effective than orthodox methods!
"Awesome, so awesome."
"If I continue like this, I can play the role of a Body Cultivator, hahaha."
After grasping much of the 'Heavenly Born Earth Nourished Fetal Breath Great Method,' Sun Lingtong immediately suppressed his joy and entered into the state of Empty Mind.
This was in even greater alignment with the Fetal Breathing Technique, and the influx of Heaven and Earth Essence was like opening floodgates!
Scenes after scenes, strands of memories reached Sun Lingtong's heart.
He was taken aback.
These scenes, these memories, they all came from the Old Monster in Stone!
"By performing the Fetal Breathing with his corpse, it seems that as he died and his Dao ceased, the Stone Ball also reverted back to a part of heaven and earth."
"I acquired Stone Skin and was nourished by heaven and earth, so naturally, I also inherited the lingering memories of the Old Monster in Stone."
Sun Lingtong pondered a moment, then rapidly grasped the whole picture.
"Interesting, very interesting!"
The cultivation perspective of the Ten-Thousand-Year-old Earth Essence was indeed a rare sight to behold.
At the same time.
Outside the Heavenly Pillar Giant Tree, several figures emerged.
Demon Heart Cave Master, Blood Shadow Cave Master, and Mo Yuan Cave Master!
"Great Cave Master, the Formation has been thoroughly explored, ensuring there are no errors," Demon Heart Cave Master reported with utmost respect.
Lu Tu, the Great Cave Master of the Six Cave Sect, was the highest leader.
"Once this Formation is activated, Earth Escape and Void Teleportation are strictly forbidden. If the Old Monster in Stone agrees to come out of seclusion, he knows what's good for him."
"If he doesn't agree, let him suffer a bit."
Lu Tu had a grand aura, a stern face, and a resolute expression.
A great battle was imminent; he needed to rally all forces to confront the attacking army of Liangzhu Country.
The Nascent Soul Level Old Monster in Stone, a natural inhabitant of the Thousand Peak Forest, was a natural ally. How could he stand idly by?
