Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 521 - 294: The Five Viscera Resonating with Heaven and Earth! (Part 2)
After the tornado struck the bird, it instantly exploded into a cloud of blood.
Su Que withdrew his power, and the tornado above the sea immediately descended, crashing into the sea and stirring up gigantic waves.
’This feels like being an Immortal.’
Su Que thought to himself as he recalled the fist technique just now.
...
Above the Great Buddha Temple, dark clouds suddenly appeared.
In no time, the dark clouds filled the entire sky, pressing heavily overhead.
The Great Buddha Temple wasn’t far from the Capital City, which also suddenly plunged into darkness.
People weren’t unfamiliar with this sight.
"What is happening? Is the heavens sick?"
Some citizens in the Capital City stopped their work, looked up, and discussed this strange weather.
In the Imperial Palace, Li Xuanji was reviewing memorials in the study.
Suddenly seeing the sky outside grow dim, he was taken aback.
He quickly stood up, walked out of the study, and looked up to the sky.
Seeing the sky, he remembered the day Emperor Jing of Liang came.
’Could another Immortal be descending?’
Li Xuanji was alarmed.
For nearly a month, Li Xuanji had sent people everywhere to gather legends and read the ancient texts treasured by the Xiao Family and Li Family, gaining a deeper understanding of Immortals.
He knew that in legends, powerful people could shatter the void and reach a higher level world.
If he had not seen Emperor Jing of Liang, had not seen Subduing Tiger, he would still consider it a legend.
But after seeing the two of them, he believed it to be fact.
’Why do Immortals keep descending?’
Li Xuanji first thought of Liang Kingdom and the Great Buddha Temple.
He thought, Liang Kingdom was allied with the Great Buddha Temple, overthrowing his ancestors’ Dynasty.
Presumably, the Xiao Family of Liang Kingdom has deep ties with the Buddhist Sect.
He felt it was because Emperor Jing of Liang died in this place.
Like stirring up a hornet’s nest, an endless succession of monks descended.
’They won’t come after me again...?’
Li Xuanji’s heart trembled violently at this thought.
He had thought his martial arts were quite good and after establishing the Dynasty, other than the masked "teacher," almost no one was his opponent.
But he never expected that when people descended from the heavens, even as the Emperor of a Dynasty, he was as insignificant as an ant.
...
Above the ruins of the Great Buddha Temple, after lightning flashed across the sky.
In the sky, faintly three figures appeared.
They were the Subduing Dragon Arhat, Tuo Ta Arhat, and Sitting Deer Arhat.
The three Arhats, after traveling through two small worlds and finding nothing, arrived in this small world.
Among them, Tuo Ta Arhat was far superior to the other two, stronger than the other two.
Tuo Ta Arhat was nine feet tall, with arms that could reach past his knees and extremely robust.
His muscles coursed like bulging stone blocks on his arms.
Sitting Deer Arhat was also tall and strong, the monk’s robes he wore could not conceal his muscular build.
Underneath him sat a massive deer.
This giant deer was white, agile, with large and broad antlers, emitting wisps of white air.
Although the Subduing Dragon Arhat appeared the thinnest of the three, he too possessed muscles that ordinary people couldn’t hope to match.
Even if he stood among a crowd of citizens, his robust figure immediately drew attention.
However, most striking was the four dragons behind him.
These four dragons weren’t True Dragons but were formed by his protective energy.
The four dragons were fiery red, as vibrant as flames, their bodies as thick as a human head.
The three Arhats looked down on the ruins of the Great Buddha Temple.
This Great Buddha Temple’s statues had all been destroyed by Li Xuanji’s troops, and the murals had been completely scraped away.
Now, only a piece of ruins remained.
Only a few children were playing on this ruin.
Because the sky had dimmed earlier, with thunder and lightning, the children thought a heavy rain was coming, and ran off to hide from the rain.
But they found no rain came, the dark sky cleared again.
So they ran out from their rain shelter, returning to play on the ruins of the Great Buddha Temple.
"To destroy our Buddhist Sect, the people of this small world are too brazen."
Subduing Dragon Arhat stared coldly at the ruins below, and in his anger, his aura surged.
That aura descended to the ground, causing the children playing on the ruins to fall flat for no reason, a wave of fear swelling in their hearts.
"Could Subduing Tiger’s disappearance also relate to this small world’s destruction of Buddhism?"
Tuo Ta Arhat asked.
"Perhaps." Subduing Dragon Arhat looked at the children on the ground: "Ask the Emperor of this small world, and you’ll find out."
Saying this, Subduing Dragon Arhat used telepathy to invade the spirits of these children.
Immediately, he learned some things about this world.
After all, being near the Capital City, these children, while young, knew there was a Capital City nearby, and roughly in which direction.
"Let’s go see where the Emperor is."
Subduing Dragon Arhat said only one sentence, then stepped into the void barefoot.
His figure instantly transformed into a shadow, moving toward the Capital City.
This is what could be achieved when Divine Movement was cultivated to a profound level; with just one step, one could span an immense distance.
Tuo Ta Arhat and Sitting Deer Arhat seeing Subduing Dragon Arhat act, each used their own divine power, following Subduing Dragon Arhat.
...
Within the Imperial Palace, Li Xuanji hid himself.
Though the Imperial Palace was built by his ancestors.
However, the basement he now hid in was constructed by the Xiao Family of Liang Kingdom.
He hid here for fear that those from the sky would find him.
This basement, with walls made of an exotic metal, could block the detection of experts in the Divine Realm.
But he didn’t know whether it could avoid the detection of those legendary Immortals, and he couldn’t help but tremble slightly with fear.
Just as Li Xuanji was in a panic, suddenly there was a loud crash above his head.
He jumped back a step and looked up.
He saw the exotic metal plate above suddenly break apart, and the mudstone behind the metal fell like running water.
Then, a fiery red dragon head stretched down from the break.
Moments later, the dragon head retracted from the break.
Through the opened hole, Li Xuanji could see three monks looking at him.
’It’s really monks again!’
Li Xuanji was immediately stunned seeing the three monks with beards under their chins and bald heads.
Though this basement could block the detection of Divine Realm experts, in the face of these three Arhats at the Merging Realm level, this exotic metal plate was like paper.
Subduing Dragon Arhat, upon seeing Li Xuanji, stared at him and used telepathy.
Li Xuanji’s spiritual power was far inferior to Subduing Dragon Arhat’s.
In just a moment, Subduing Dragon Arhat had obtained all of Li Xuanji’s memories.
Immediately afterward, Tuo Ta Arhat and Sitting Deer Arhat simultaneously used telepathy, together reading Li Xuanji’s memories.
Li Xuanji suddenly felt intense pain at the center of his brow.
"Subduing Tiger was actually killed by an inhabitant of this realm!"
After obtaining Li Xuanji’s memories, Subduing Dragon Arhat learned many things, and couldn’t help but be shocked.
"Could this inhabitant be a reincarnation of some deity?"
Subduing Dragon Arhat said to the other two Arhats.
Some cultivators of the Upper Realm, due to not having solid foundations in body and spirit during previous cultivation, found it hard to progress at certain realms.
One way to enhance body and spirit was to take celestial medicine.
But celestial medicine is rare, and they might not obtain it.
The second method is to reincarnate and cultivate anew.
Reincarnating to cultivate anew, awakening innate wisdom, can remedy the various regrets of past cultivation, thus achieving better body and spirit.
The other two Arhats nodded in agreement with Subduing Dragon Arhat’s conjecture.
Subduing Dragon Arhat wasn’t using any special method to transmit his voice.
Being in the late stage of Gang Condensation Realm, Li Xuanji had good hearing.
Hearing the words of these three Arhats, he was shocked: "Could the teacher be the reincarnation of a celestial Immortal?"
Subduing Dragon Arhat glanced again at Li Xuanji, and a thought formed in his mind.
One of the fiery red dragons behind him suddenly stretched down from the break, biting at Li Xuanji’s hair and lifting him through the hole.
Frightened, Li Xuanji wanted to resist, but affected by the aura of this dragon, his body went soft, and he couldn’t muster any strength.
