Having gradually gotten used to the strange environment, Chen Mu could already move about rather freely in the simple water world. It was especially the water pressure. The first time that he gone there, he felt as though he were about to be squished open by the terrifying water pressure.
Under those conditions, he reduced his breathing rate to once every minute, which was not a very simple matter. Still, Chen Mu did it. A nice side-benefit of adopting the deep breathing was that he could greatly reduce his heart rate, and easily enter into deep meditation.
By that time, Chen Mu could enter the deep meditative state rather easily, requiring only about two minutes.
Even better, it was only a 'Simple Water World,' and never mind breathing, if it were real, it could kill you!
