Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 435 - 251: Demon Seed!
After finishing his tour of the first floor, he continued upstairs.
The second floor displayed artifacts from Miaojiang, and the third floor displayed some dried poisonous grasses and flowers.
He activated the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons and absorbed the toxins from these poisonous grasses and flowers.
Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (10th Realm Shocking the Ancients 73%)
The fourth floor had three deep green poison barriers.
He activated the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons and absorbed the poison gas from the barriers. The poison barriers immediately dissipated.

Beyond the poison barriers were three bookshelves.
Su Que went to the bookshelves and flipped through the books on them.
He found that the books were all in Miaojiang script, which he did not recognize.
Until he came across a book with a Divine Intent Diagram on it.
Looking at the Divine Intent Diagram, it was all images of Chiyou.
Each picture depicted a different state of Chiyou.
It seemed that the Miaojiang Divine Realm involved integrating the divine intent of Chiyou into one’s body.
Su Que was uncertain if integrating divine intent would lead to being controlled by the god, so he didn’t want to practice this Divine Intent Diagram.
He also didn’t want to leave this Divine Intent Diagram for anyone else.
Immediately, he channeled the Divine Will Power from his heart, merging it with True Qi.
True Qi was released from his palm, and a flame shot out, engulfing the Divine Realm cultivation manual.
It wasn’t long before the manual was burned to ashes.
Then, Su Que looked around, found a piece of cloth, and wrapped up all the other Miaojiang manuals.
He planned to find someone who understood Miaojiang script to translate the texts in the manuals for him.
He wanted to see if there were any Evil Techniques suitable for his cultivation.
Su Que tied the bundle filled with manuals to himself.
Then, he proceeded to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor was where the shrine was located, and inside the shrine was a small statue of Chiyou.
Su Que scanned it with his spirit and found nothing special, so he activated his Sword Gang and sliced the statue into dozens of pieces.
In the end, he set a fire to burn down the wooden building.
With a light step, he jumped directly from the fifth floor.
Landing steadily, he swept away and arrived at the altar.
He swung his fist, the Fist Gang and Fist Intent erupted, and with just one punch, he shattered the altar and the statue to pieces.
He still didn’t know where those gods were or how they influenced this world.
He felt that destroying all these structures was better than leaving them there.
After smashing the altar and statue, the fire on the five-story building behind him was already raging like the sky, burning fiercely.
With a light step, his figure disappeared, heading toward other areas of the Miaojiang Holy Altar.
Next, he absorbed all the toxins from the poison fields and poisonous forests of the Miaojiang Holy Altar.
Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (11th Realm Earth-Shattering 5%)
After absorbing many toxins, the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons finally broke through.
He hadn’t expected the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons could also reach an Earth-Shattering realm.
However, the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons was different from the Seven Injuries Fist.
The Seven Injuries Fist was a combat technique; with one punch, its power erupted at will, causing the wind and clouds to stir.
But the power of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons mostly manifested in its toxicity.
Its external expressiveness was not as evident as the Seven Injuries Fist.
’I wonder if the toxins in my current Myriad Poison True Qi can shake the gods?’ Su Que thought to himself.
While absorbing the toxins, he captured a Miaojiang Gu Master to translate the texts on the Miaojiang manuals for him.
Su Que had a high Talent Value, excellent Enlightenment, and had seen and practiced many cultivation techniques.
Therefore, when the Miaojiang Gu Master translated only the first part of each manual, he already grasped the essence of each technique.
He found that these manuals were of no use to him.
There were some Poison Techniques in the manuals that could cause side effects to cultivators.
If he had cultivated these techniques two or three years ago, they might have been useful.
However, now his physique was so robust that even without a Golden Finger, these side effects couldn’t harm him.
Su Que shook his head and burned all of these manuals.
Then, he killed the Gu Master on the spot.
These Miaojiang Gu Masters used living people to refine Gu, not good people by any means, so killing them was an act of kindness.
Furthermore, Miaojiang Gu Masters had intricate ties with Chiyou, who was somewhere unknown.
Su Que didn’t want to leave these Gu Masters here, lest the gods could influence the world through them later.
Following that, he toured Miaojiang, killed all the Gu Masters there, and then left Miaojiang, flying back to Jiannan Prefecture City.
...
After returning to the Prefecture City, Su Que first gave the Chiyou Battle Axe to Elder Qingxuan for alchemy.
Then, he went to the cave where his belongings were stored, changed his clothes, and waved his hand, placing a cluster of Myriad Poison True Qi in the middle of the cave corridor.
After his Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons realm advanced, he found he could integrate Divine Intent into Myriad Poison True Qi.
Myriad Poison True Qi could now remain and float in the air at his will.
His cave now had two lines of defense.
The first line of defense was a Beast Trap hidden among the grasses and leaves in front of the cave corridor.
This Beast Trap was mainly for ordinary people.
If ordinary people reached here and were injured by the Beast Trap, they should leave.
If martial artists weren’t afraid of the Beast Trap and ventured deeper, they would see the poison barrier formed by Myriad Poison True Qi.
This cluster of Myriad Poison True Qi, if inhaled by experts at the early stage of Divine Realm, they would be severely injured.
If any martial artist saw this deep purple True Qi and insisted on entering, there would only be death.
After setting everything up, Su Que used his Lightweight Skill to fly back to Jiannan Prefecture City.
...
Once home, Su Que stayed home for a few days, spending most of his time locked in his room, cultivating the Sunflower Manual.
At other times, he visited various food places in Jiannan Prefecture City to taste the delicacies and listened to recent news from the Central Plains.
He heard that the White Lotus Sect was becoming more and more rampant, and its General Altar Master had suddenly increased in strength.
People in the martial society said that the General Altar Master of the White Lotus Sect had always been dormant.
Upon hearing that a mysterious person had killed all the patriarchs of the noble families, and with Emperor Jing of Liang not appearing, the General Altar Master believed the Emperor was dead.
Thus, this General Altar Master revealed his true strength, intending to take advantage and swallow Liang Kingdom in one go.
Su Que also heard that the General Altar Master of the White Lotus Sect, leading members triumphantly, had beaten the Court’s army to disarray.
Several generals of the Court had died at the hands of the General Altar Master.
Almost instantly when facing them, they were killed.
The rise of the White Lotus Sect caused the forces of the Crown Prince and several Princes of the Court to temporarily unite...
Listening to the noisy conversations around him, Su Que finished a few plates of exquisite dishes, settled the bill, and left the restaurant.
He walked out of the city, planning to find an empty area to practice the Seven Injuries Fist.
When he reached the city wall, his gaze was immediately drawn to the newly added marks on the wall.
This was the agreed signal between him and Li Xuanji.
’What does the Heaven-Breaking Army want now?’
Su Que thought to himself, left the city, went to a secluded area, immediately used his Lightweight Skill, and flew to the cave where his belongings were hidden.
He put on his martial attire, mask, and cloak, then headed to the Heaven-Breaking Army’s residence.
Upon arrival, he saw the guarding soldiers and said, "Where is Li Xuanji, and what does he want with me?"
Upon hearing Su Que’s voice, instantly, a figure rushed out from the inner chamber.
It was Li Xuanji.
Suddenly, there was a thud. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
When Li Xuanji arrived in front of Su Que, he unexpectedly fell to one knee and said to Su Que:
"Sir, save me!"
"What happened?" a hoarse voice came from beneath Su Que’s mask.
Li Xuanji remained kneeling on one knee, looking up at Su Que, "Sir, it seems something has been planted in my Dantian!"
"This thing in my Dantian is taking root and seems to have the ability to strip away my Martial Arts Cultivation at any time!"
Upon hearing this, Su Que activated his Divine Intent, which emerged from his brow, entered Li Xuanji’s body, and headed straight for his Dantian.
Immediately, he "saw" the object in Li Xuanji’s Dantian with his Divine Intent.
This object could not be seen with the naked eye but had form and substance.
It was a combination of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, embedded deeply like a seed in Li Xuanji’s Dantian.
It was gradually merging with Li Xuanji’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
He thought, Li Xuanji wasn’t a Divine Realm Martial Artist and wouldn’t normally sense this object.
It must be because Li Xuanji had already reached the Middle Stage of Gang Condensation Realm, not far from the Divine Realm.
Additionally, the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill could inherently manipulate the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, containing elements of the Divine Realm.
Thus, Li Xuanji was able to detect the object in his Dantian.
