of space teems with a suffocating tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time also seems nearly halted, like the ghostly void of the universe before the birth of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng floats within this expanse, his body motionless and utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire being has entered a deep state of ’self-forgetfulness.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His consciousness seems to slip from the bonds of the flesh, becoming strands of light adrift in the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally sparking a glint, then vanishing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if awaiting the serendipitous moment for life to emerge amidst darkness and silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the panel displays a series of prompt messages within the

active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body, however, seems devoid of vitality, blood circulation gradually slows, the heart approaches stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until there are no signs of breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the slightest bubble emerges from mouth or nose for an extended time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly due to the extreme pressure of this sealed environment, the body appears thoroughly asphyxiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is only an external facade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approximately every two minutes, Fang Cheng’s heart still trembles faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then pumps blood throughout the vessels, delivering oxygen to other organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retains that most fundamental thread of breath within him, maintaining the most basic signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hint of warmth in his abdomen, like something hidden in the deep ocean of his body, is exceptionally tranquil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought emerging in consciousness, it quivers slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the form of pulsing waves, it births traces of energy, spreading around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, every pore on his body opens in unison, drawing oxygen from the seawater, then expelling stale air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the grey-white vapors rising from the depths of the Abyss are absorbed through the pores, providing some kind of nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying the exchange cycle of internal and external breaths, a series of prompt messages appear one after another on the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Breathing Technique Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Breathing Technique Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extremely suppressive environment liberates inherent bodily instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The respiratory functions of skin and cells are significantly enhanced, pushed to their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even subtly surpassing a certain threshold, stepping into a higher state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura emitted by the body becomes one with the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng seems to return to the fetal period, surrounded by amniotic fluid, in an incredibly comfortable and warm, wondrous state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This state is known as \"Fetal Breathing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaths continuous, like the babe within the womb, not breathing through mouth and nose, thus it is called Fetal Breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Taoist health manuals describe \"Fetal Breathing\" as a path to longevity, the gateway to the Way of the Immortal, the marvelous realm where the human body eliminates ailments, returns to youth, and merges with the cosmic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Cultivators also deemed Fetal Breathing as life’s primal state, nurturing the foundational mystery of the essence of universal life, regarding it as a high-level goal in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of martial arts masters like Ma Jianguo, it’s not as mysterious as some texts claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because humans inherently possess this special ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, it’s only present in the mother’s womb, and once born, this innate function begins to lie dormant within, requiring strenuous postnatal cultivation to be recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fetal Breathing in Qigong practice is, in fact, a profound Qigong state attainable after achieving unity of essence, energy, and spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a natural instinct expressed by the body in a highly meditative state, a physiological state achieved through Qigong training where internal and external respirations are harmonized, fully enhancing their functionalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of cultivation not only invigorates and extends life but also promotes the unlocking of human potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fang Cheng maintains the Fetal Breathing State, floating in this absolutely dark sea for as long as six hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The external currents surge turbulently, fog permeating, at times intense, at times calming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, a tidal rhythm of rise and fall emerges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the ocean itself were breathing, peaceful and prolonged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood coursing through Fang Cheng’s veins, the breaths swallowed and expelled by countless pores, also ebbs and flows like the tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two resonate with each other, subtly creating a harmonious and unified rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this process, more and more sparks of insight burst forth in Fang Cheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, a faint haze of light, flickering and indistinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, from the haze, sparks leap and dance, like fireflies on a summer’s night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then these ephemeral fireflies begin to coalesce, stabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until they form a slightly larger dot of light, faintly taking the shape of an illusory flame, illuminating the immediate vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This light point is very weak, like a candle in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under its guidance, the geothermal current hidden deep under the sea naturally generated an upward force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the finest stream flowing along river channels, advancing methodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when encountering silt blockages, it still managed to permeate through without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full-body circulation, the current eventually returned to the deep hollow within the abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to the fusion with the fog inhaled into the body, the geothermal current vaguely showed signs of swelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was after the consciousness and inner qi blended, successfully completing a guidance cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Dark Abyss, the panel suddenly flickered with extraordinarily brilliant light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, after efforts and perseverance beyond ordinary imagination, your skill has reached the Expert Level]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Breathing Technique lv1 (0\u002F250)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Receive an enhancement reward, a chance to synthesize an exclusive skill]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immersed in Deep Meditation, Fang Cheng paid no attention to these prompt messages, but suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life originates from the embryo, inherently arising from Fetal Breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the Fetal Breathing State is a way of returning to the innate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that space in the abdomen where the geothermal current is stored, is the origin of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating Fetal Breathing is the process of life’s self-regeneration, as well as solving problems from the root of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this favorable environment for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of skill practice experience gained thus accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, like the Breathing Technique before it, Meditation was also approaching the level cap for a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s body and consciousness were also undergoing some kind of transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panel lights flickered, a stream of prompt messages flowed by rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are communicating with the Heaven and Earth Natural Laws, comprehending the Life Mystery, Spirit increased by 0.001]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are communicating with the Heaven and Earth Natural Laws, comprehending the Life Mystery, Constitution increased by 0.001]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fang Cheng finally completely stepped into the legendary realm of \"Unity of Heaven and Man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding the momentum, the efficiency of cultivation reached an unimaginable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the geothermal current still seemed somewhat weak, unable to produce sufficiently astounding effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, thousands of kilometers below the seam at the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast and deep oppressive feeling emerged faintly, as if numerous dark and profound things were surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone’s gaze could penetrate the Abyss, all the way to its darkest depths, they would see an odd and spectacular scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, all the seawater was swirling around a submarine volcanic vent, thus forming a giant vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vortex was mixed with many sea grasses, fish and shrimp carcasses, and even fragments of ship hulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spinning like a top, the stirring force transferred to the top of the crack, creating a siphoning effect that continually sucked in seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng floated in the Dark Abyss, focusing on practicing Meditation and the Breathing Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His natural awareness of danger was always retained, even more acute by several times than when his own consciousness controlled the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his body was pulled by this suction force and began to spin downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pores suddenly dilated, and his muscles trembled slightly, offsetting the pulling force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the resistance process, the panel also exhibited new prompt messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pile Skill Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pile Skill Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turbulent undercurrents that could tear an ordinary person’s body apart and drag it into the Abyss, instead became a force for Fang Cheng to temper himself, to breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the experience of the three skills simultaneously increased, his body gradually floated to a position right above the center of the vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he maintained his balance and steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole person also shifted from a supine lying position to a floating standing posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of the vortex continued to grow, as if calling out for something or preventing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark Abyss was like a boiling cauldron, endlessly gurgling up copious milky-white foam, evaporating into billowing mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that this was the legendary \"Milk Sea\" where gods and all living beings were born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, in the deepest dark, vague blue glows began to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billows of oddly-shaped shadows gradually rose from the Abyss, slowly approaching the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash—Splash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the top end of the seabed fissure, suddenly came the sound of water being cleaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of creatures, neither human nor fish, began to converge from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They swam to the side of Fang Cheng, who was in deep meditation, and kept circling around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some emitted a low hissing sound, gesturing at Fang Cheng with their long webbed hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some, with eyes flickering dark green light, observed him curiously, filled with wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>",1557,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","c36045c2fa612cc5f034ef7112a425254408d5faf4ef7fe444ebe98d88f7cd62","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-177","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-175",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
