Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 519 - 293: The Seven Injuries Fist Shakes the Universe!
He could only order his subordinates to fetch the elixir.
After Su Que took the elixir, he soared into the sky and left.
...
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Su Que landed in a deserted alley.
He changed clothes and returned home.
After returning to his room, he sat on the bed, pondering his future plans.
Currently, this small world he was in was occupied by Spirit Mountain.
Spirit Mountain had sealed this small world, and once he ascended to the Upper Realm, Spirit Mountain would surely know.
So, for now, he had to remain in this small world no matter what.
’First, I must reach the peak of martial arts.’
’Cultivating martial arts means two things: enhancing the power of techniques and reversing the side effects they have on my body to make it even stronger, thereby increasing my strength.’
After contemplating for a while, Su Que practiced Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
When he reached 3% of the 6th Realm Divine Skill, Su Jing called him for a meal.
At the dining table, Su Jing asked Su Que how his martial arts cultivation was going.
In the Imperial Palace Armory, Li Yujing, upon the suggestion of the martial artists under Li Xuanji, picked several inner strength techniques capable of altering one’s constitution for Su Que to cultivate.
Some time had passed, and Su Jing was very concerned about Su Que’s progress.
She wanted to know if Su Que’s constitution had changed and if he was able to step into the Martial Arts realm.
"I’ve practiced a bit, and there’s indeed a significant change in my body."
Su Que lied, while also laying the groundwork.
He planned to gradually improve in front of Su Jing, aiming eventually to become a martial artist of the Qi Blood Realm Third Blood.
If a martial artist reached the Third Blood, their muscles would become very sturdy.
By that time, even if he changed out of his loose scholar’s robe into other clothes, showcasing his physique, others would not be suspicious.
After all, although his physique was strong, his muscles would not bulge out exaggeratedly.
All his strength was consolidated within his muscles.
Su Jing was delighted to hear this, cheerfully serving Su Que food.
...
In the days that followed, Su Que would fly to the deserted island to train during the day and return to the Capital City at night.
Having heard Su Que’s words, Su Jing believed he was merely wandering around the Capital City area.
He once went to the Imperial Palace and told Li Xuanji that he would occasionally go to Elder Qingxuan for medicine, so if Elder Qingxuan found any elixir missing, there was no need to panic.
Afterward, he continued consuming large quantities of elixirs while practicing martial arts.
He relocated his training site to the deep sea.
In the sea, he swung his fists, practicing the Seven Injuries Fist.
With a punch, his Fist Force rolled the seawater around.
In that sea area, enormous whirlpools would sometimes form, like the mouths of devouring beasts, while other times water columns would rise to the sky like white dragons breaking the sea.
Seven Injuries Fist (12th Realm Unparalleled 56%)
After half a month, he reached this level with the Seven Injuries Fist.
Originally, after achieving the 12th Realm Unparalleled with the Seven Injuries Fist, it required more training time to advance further.
Moreover, pushing the Seven Injuries Fist to the Upper Level Extremist Technique level required even more training time.
Fortunately, with his excellent talent and ample supply of elixirs, his cultivation speed was not slow.
Now, consuming elixirs was almost as common as eating.
Sometimes, elixirs refined by Elder Qingxuan and others were not enough for him.
Because of this, Li Xuanji gathered alchemists from the entire Qi Kingdom to refine elixirs for him.
...
During the day practicing his fist in the sea, at night, Li Xuanji returned to the Capital City, had dinner, and then cultivated Circulation of the Six Void Skill in his room.
Circulation of the Six Void Skill (8th Realm Peak of Perfection 12%)
Because his understanding of Circulation of the Six Void Skill was still shallow, his cultivation speed was fast.
The eight strands of True Qi within him were becoming increasingly solid.
Additionally, every time he practiced, the discord among the eight strands of True Qi created side effects on his body.
These side effects reversed on his body.
Each advancement in the cultivation of Circulation of the Six Void Skill made his physique stronger.
...
Upper Realm, Spirit Mountain.
Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court were about to engage in a small-scale divine war.
They were contending for a precious celestial medicine.
This celestial medicine was the Seven-Colored Lotus, with three blooms, each petal emitting seven-colored radiance.
For cultivators at the Merging Realm in both Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court, it had remarkable medicinal effects.
A monk, nine feet tall, with a beard that dangled to his chest.
His hands were extremely strong, muscles bulging, extending beyond his knees.
He rode the Buddhist Golden Light to the Subduing Tiger’s temple, intending to summon Subduing Tiger to participate in the divine war.
But he found the Subduing Tiger’s temple empty.
’Could he have descended to the Lower Realm?’
Venerable Tuo Ta was puzzled not seeing Subduing Tiger.
Generally, they rarely descended to the Lower Realm, usually only sending out Divine Thought to act in the Lower Realm.
Venerable Tuo Ta furrowed his brow, his eyebrow—half a palm long—drawing towards the center.
He went to other parts of the Subduing Tiger’s temple to inquire from Subduing Tiger’s disciples.
The disciple said that Subduing Tiger had been gone for nearly a month.
The flow of time in the Upper and Lower Realms is almost the same.
Knowing a month had passed in the Upper Realm meant Subduing Tiger had also been gone from the Lower Realm for a month.
’Did Subduing Tiger mention going to any specific world?’
Venerable Tuo Ta asked Subduing Tiger’s disciple.
The disciple shook his head, saying they only knew Subduing Tiger hadn’t been in the temple and likely descended but didn’t know exactly where.
Hearing this, Venerable Tuo Ta felt a foreboding sense.
’Could Subduing Tiger have been ambushed by other forces while descending?’
’Or perhaps, are there other forces in the Lower Realm lying in ambush?’
Remembering the upcoming divine war, Venerable Tuo Ta didn’t linger, pushing his doubts aside.
...
Five days later, the small-scale divine war between Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court concluded.
Spirit Mountain scored a minor victory, obtaining two Seven-Colored Lotuses.
They used these to refine elixirs, consuming them to achieve minor improvements in cultivation.
After ascending, it became increasingly challenging to raise their cultivation level.
In the Merging Realm, even a minor realm advancement could take several hundred years.
Beyond the Merging Realm, advancements could take thousands of years.
Obtaining excellent celestial medicine undoubtedly greatly shortens cultivation time.
Shortened cultivation time means they may break through before the end of their lifespan, thus gaining more longevity.
After taking the celestial medicine, Tuo Ta Arhat discussed Subduing Tiger Arhat’s disappearance with other Arhats who participated in the divine war.
"Subduing Tiger hasn’t returned for nearly a month?" Subduing Dragon frowned.
Subduing Dragon was the highest in cultivation among the Eighteen Arhats.
He didn’t have the stature of Tuo Ta or the strength of Subduing Tiger but his eyes shone with light, exuding an aura, like four dragons coiling upon him.
Tuo Ta Arhat nodded: "We don’t know whether Subduing Tiger is already..."
He looked at the other Arhats and didn’t continue.
"Should we consult the World Honored One?" an Arhat suggested. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Subduing Dragon shook his head: "The World Honored One often contends with the Lord of Heaven, let us investigate this matter ourselves."
"But from which world should we start?"
Tuo Ta Arhat said: "I heard from Subduing Tiger’s disciple that he was dealing with matters in four small worlds below."
"I estimate his incident should lie in one of these four small worlds."
Upon hearing this, Subduing Dragon said: "Why don’t we go down and have a look."
"Four small worlds are not too many."
"If Subduing Tiger engaged in a battle in the small world, it would certainly cause a great stir."
"As long as we use Telepathy on the people in the small worlds, we should be able to learn what happened."
...
On a deserted island at sea, Su Que was practicing the Seven Injuries Fist.
He controlled the power of the Seven Injuries Fist.
Although a single punch from the Seven Injuries Fist could smash the island beneath his feet to pieces,
he gathered all his power, each punch surprisingly ordinary.
’About to break through!’
Only he could feel a warm current flowing through his Five Viscera, nurturing his body.
Moreover, he sensed a tremendous force brewing within him.
As he executed another punch, suddenly, this force erupted within his body!
He glanced at the attributes.
