Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 533 - 300: Five Elements Life and Death Order! (Part 2)
The foot-shaped Gang Qi, emitting a green glow, fell onto Wu Haidong like a downpour.
The foot-shaped Gang Qi stirred the sea of clouds, raising dust and mud, and all of it crashed onto Wu Haidong’s body.
The cracks on Wu Haidong’s pitch-black body grew denser.
Soon after, Wu Haidong’s pitch-black body shattered.
Seeing Wu Haidong was about to die, Su Que descended, and employed Telepathy on Wu Haidong.
In an instant, he acquired all of Wu Haidong’s memories.
After obtaining the memories, Su Que released his Lifebound Demon Seed to absorb Wu Haidong’s essence, qi, and spirit.
Once completely drained of essence, qi, and spirit, Wu Haidong’s pitch-black, hardened body immediately turned into flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood was pale and gray, barely containing any blood.
This was because all of his blood energy, along with his essence, qi, and spirit, had been absorbed by Su Que’s Lifebound Demon Seed.
Su Que willed his Lifebound Demon Seed to enter his Dantian.
As the purple glow of the Lifebound Demon Seed intensified, Wu Haidong’s essence, qi, and spirit surged throughout his body.
Su Que suddenly felt a force pouring into his flesh, blood, and spirit.
He felt a sensation in his heart and summoned his Attributes.
Remaining lifespan: 8377
After acquiring this Mountain Master’s essence, qi, and spirit, his lifespan had increased by one hundred and eighty years.
At the same time, he felt his muscles becoming more resilient, and his spirit more robust.
Su Que retrieved Wu Haidong’s Storage Pouch.
From Wu Haidong’s memory, Su Que learned that the Storage Pouch contained the Celestial Medicine, Elixir, Poison, and other items he had collected.
After securing the Storage Pouch, he unleashed the Myriad Poison True Qi and destroyed Wu Haidong’s body.
Then, he approached the cultivator who had previously worn his mask and clothes.
He removed the mask and clothes, absorbed the essence, qi, and spirit, destroyed the body, and flew away.
Su Que, following Wu Haidong’s memories, flew towards the location of the Line Master.
As he flew, he examined the contents of Wu Haidong’s Storage Pouch.
Wu Haidong’s Storage Pouch contained numerous poisons, used for brewing ’Laba Porridge.’
Coincidentally, Su Que’s Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons had now reached the 5% level of the 11th Realm Earth-Shattering stage.
Because the Small World he resided in lacked more potent poisons, the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons had difficulty making progress.
However, the poisons grown in the Upper Realm were far more potent than those in the Small World, and refining them would yield purer Myriad Poison True Qi.
But Su Que thought to himself that after killing this Mountain Master, news would spread.
If it reached the Line Master, they would be on guard.
Therefore, he restrained his urge to cultivate the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons for the time being.
He planned to kill the Line Master of the ’Valley River Mountain Range’ before cultivating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
Su Que exerted his mental power completely, flying through the sky.
Meanwhile, he employed the Circulation of the Six Void Skill, using the Circulating Eight Forces to accelerate himself.
From Wu Haidong’s memories, he learned that the ’Valley River Mountain Range’ consisted of nineteen peaks, with the Line Master Zhuge Liancheng occupying the tallest one.
’Perhaps there is an Arhat by the Line Master’s side.’
For the sake of caution, Su Que flew while condensing needle-shaped Gang Qi in his hands, performing the Disguise Skill.
Before long, he had transformed into Wu Haidong’s likeness.
Even his height matched Wu Haidong’s.
As for the curly beard on Wu Haidong’s face, he pulled out his own hair, using scorching True Qi to bend it.
Then he channeled True Qi to attach this hair to his face.
His appearance was thus indistinguishable from Wu Haidong’s.
He descended at the foot of the mountain where the Line Master resided.
The gatekeeper at the foot of the mountain recognized him and respectfully inquired, "Master Wu, what brings you here?"
Su Que replied, "I have news about that mysterious expert, and I need to meet the Line Master."
The gatekeeper, upon hearing this, promptly said, "Master Wu, please wait a moment, I’ll report immediately."
Su Que nodded and waited outside the mountain gate, thinking about the stark difference in status between the Mountain Master and the Line Master.
...
The Line Master of the ’Valley River Mountain Range’ had practiced cultivation for over five hundred years, had a dignified appearance with three long strands of beard, and dressed in a green robe like a layman cultivating in the deep mountains.
Hearing from his subordinates that Wu Haidong had information about that person, he was delighted and instructed his subordinates to summon Wu Haidong to the reception hall.
He, then, lightly tapped his foot, causing him to float slightly and drift towards a certain location.
He stopped at a courtyard and respectfully said, "Masters, there is news about the mysterious expert you mentioned."
In the courtyard, two Arhats sat cross-legged amidst exotic grasses and strange flowers.
Both had strong builds, wearing only a yellow cloth, revealing their solid muscles.
They were barefoot, yet their feet remained unsoiled.
One monk had a square face with a bushy beard extending to his chest and wore a golden cuff on his head.
He was the Gatekeeper Arhat among the Spirit Mountain Eighteen Arhats, with a cultivation in the Ninth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.
The other monk had a slightly older-looking face with a hooked nose, and his eyes were bright and sharp, occasionally emitting a fierce glow, with long eyebrows above them.
He was the Long-Eyebrow Arhat among the Spirit Mountain Eighteen Arhats, with a cultivation in the Tenth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.
"Is there news this quickly?"
Long-Eyebrow Arhat frowned slightly:
"Why do I feel something seems amiss?"
The Six Divine Powers of Buddhist are divided into Celestial Eye, Celestial Ear, Telepathy, Divine Movement, Destiny Communication, and Arahant’s Attainment.
Long-Eyebrow Arhat had a notable proficiency in "Destiny Communication."
Thus, he was more perceptive to impending danger than other Arhats.
"What feels amiss?" Line Master Zhuge Liancheng asked.
Long-Eyebrow Arhat’s frown did not ease as he simply told Zhuge Liancheng: "Perhaps the person coming with the report already harbors danger."
"Prepare your Magical Artifact when you meet him."
"We will guard in secret."
Although Zhuge Liancheng doubted the accuracy of Long-Eyebrow Arhat’s feelings, he complied for safety’s sake.
He informed the two Arhats of the reception hall for the meeting with "Wu Haidong," then proceeded first.
As he floated up, he infused his Mana into the Storage Pouch, connecting it with his Magical Artifact.
His Ultimate Killing Magical Artifact was a set known as the "Five Elements Life and Death Order."
This "Five Elements Life and Death Order" took nearly a hundred years to refine.
He collected numerous rare Upper Realm jades and refined five tokens.
Then he completely linked the Five Elements Evil Qi from the ’Valley River Mountain Range’ with the five tokens.
As long as he wielded the tokens and willed it, he could summon the Five Elements Evil Qi from the ’Valley River Mountain Range’ for his use.
The Five Elements Evil Qi of the ’Valley River Mountain Range’ was more powerful than any magic he could cast himself.
He governed the ’Valley River Mountain Range,’ relying on the Five Elements Evil Qi to repel numerous intruders.
This was why, despite only having the Sixth-Layer cultivation in the Realm of Merging, he could dominate the other eighteen Mountain Masters to become the Line Master.
With both sleeves flowing, he drifted towards the reception hall.
Looking back to see the two Arhats following, he felt even more reassured.
Upon reaching the reception hall, the two Arhats also entered, waiting in a room beside the hall.
Zhuge Liancheng, while "Wu Haidong" had not yet arrived, performed a ritual to summon the "Five Elements Life and Death Order."
Immediately, five tokens glowing with green light flew out of his sleeves consecutively.
They aligned in a row before him.
Among the flowing green light of the tokens, faint traces of white, blue, black, red, and yellow glowed, representing the Five Elements.
He formed a hand seal, chanting incantations.
Instantly, the invisible Five Elements Evil Qi from various parts of the mountain range surged towards the reception hall.
Then, it solidified around the reception hall.
Should danger truly arise as Long-Eyebrow Arhat had predicted, he could summon the Five Elements Evil Qi to slay the foes.
...
On the other side, Su Que, guided by the Line Master’s subordinates, ascended the steps, crossing a path paved with long stone slabs, arriving before the reception hall.
Given Su Que’s high spiritual level, upon arriving at the reception hall, he sensed the oppressive air with hidden killing intent in the sky.
Moreover, there were three formidable auras within the reception hall.
Two of these auras bore the distinct solemn pressure of the Buddhist Sect.
He realized there were indeed people from Spirit Mountain guarding against him.
Su Que’s expression remained unchanged as he walked into the reception hall.
