Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 469 - 268: Celestial Buddha Palm! Divine Movement! Telepathy!
Kong Wo thought to himself, but he still didn’t take these people in front of him seriously.
He said calmly, "Benefactor Li, do you know a mysterious Martial Artist with considerable strength?"
"If you tell me his whereabouts, I will let you go..."
Humph!
Before Kong Wo could finish his words, Li Xuanji suddenly dashed forward and slashed in midair!
Kong Wo was the Abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, the same temple that, with Emperor Liang, annihilated the power of his Li Family years ago.
The Great Buddha Temple’s Kong Wo was also the National Preceptor of Liang Kingdom, closely tied to the Imperial Family.
Of course, Li Xuanji would not believe that Kong Wo would let his rebel army escape.
A sharp Sword Qi, infinitely compressed into a thin black line, slashed vertically towards Kong Wo.
Kong Wo shook his head slightly and tapped his right foot, clad in monk’s sandals, on the ground.
Instantly, it seemed as if he disappeared into thin air.
This was the Buddhist Sect’s "Divine Movement," a Lightweight Skill that is almost transcendental.
Boom!
Just as Kong Wo disappeared, Li Xuanji’s Sword Qi struck the spot where Kong Wo had been standing.
A deeply etched twelve-zhang long sword mark appeared on the ground, sending soil and gravel flying in all directions.
The next instant, Kong Wo’s tall and sturdy figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuanji, his right palm glowing with golden light, a sitting Buddha’s shadow on a Lotus Platform manifesting behind him.
Kong Wo thrust his right palm towards Li Xuanji’s chest!
Li Xuanji hurriedly gripped his sword’s hilt with both hands and pulled it upwards towards Kong Wo’s right palm!
Activating the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, a domineering Sword Qi erupted forth!
Bang!
Kong Wo’s golden-glowing palm struck Li Xuanji’s sword.
Immediately, Li Xuanji not only spat a mouthful of blood, but blood also seeped through the pores all over his body.
His entire being flew backward like a cannonball!
"My lord!"
Seeing this, Li Xuanji’s retainers, as well as Martial Artists loyal to him, launched their attacks against Kong Wo!
Kong Wo paid them no heed, merely casually swinging his palm in mid-air!
As he swung his palm, a golden light surged forth, and the Buddha’s shadow behind him grew even larger. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
A massive palm-shaped Gang Qi, glowing with a golden light, descended like a gigantic mountain upon Li Xuanji’s retainers and subordinate Martial Artists.
This was the Martial Arts technique Kong Wo was skilled in, the Celestial Buddha Palm!
No matter how they used their weapons or Martial Arts Techniques to resist that palm-shaped Gang Qi, it was futile.
As soon as the Celestial Buddha Palm’s Gang Qi touched them, these people all spat fresh blood, their pores exuding blood, staining their clothes red.
The massive Celestial Buddha Palm’s Gang Qi pushed these people into the ground, leaving them half-alive.
As the Celestial Buddha Palm’s Gang Qi hit the ground, creating a dust storm, Kong Wo had already leapt in front of Li Xuanji.
Li Xuanji, struggling to stand, was channeling the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill.
Kong Wo, however, activated the Separation Fire and Ice Technique, pouring his vast True Qi into Li Xuanji’s body, flooding all his meridians.
Suppressing the Rakshasa Kui True Qi.
"Benefactor Li, you should tell this old monk everything about the mysterious Martial Artist." Kong Wo said to Li Xuanji.
Li Xuanji still said, "I really don’t know anything about some mysterious Martial Artist."
Kong Wo sighed and recited a Buddha Spell, releasing a trace of Divine Intent from his brow into Li Xuanji’s brow.
This was "Telepathy," one of the Six Divine Powers of the Buddhist Family, like the previous "Divine Movement."
The Six Divine Powers of Buddhism include Telepathy, Celestial Eye, Celestial Ear, Divine Movement, Destiny Communication, and Arahant’s Attainment.
Even though Kong Wo’s strength was only at the Tribulation Seed Realm Second Stage, he had mastered only Telepathy, Celestial Eye, Celestial Ear, and Divine Movement.
He had only a slight grasp of Destiny Communication.
This Dharma Gate is a near-divine Divine Power, able to see fragments of events.
When Kong Wo learned of the existence of the mysterious Martial Artist Su Que, he once consumed the Buddha Power of the Ten Great Buddha Soldiers, employing Destiny Communication in an attempt to see fragments related to Su Que.
However, despite consuming a considerable amount of Buddha Power, the fragments always remained unclear.
Then, he expended Buddha Power to see fragments of Li Xuanji.
These fragments only revealed some scenes.
Thus, Kong Wo depicted these scenes, directing the Crown Prince and others to search.
Then, the Crown Prince narrowed down these scene fragments to the Jiannan Prefecture area.
Upon receiving the information, Kong Wo headed towards Jiannan Prefecture.
Using his Spiritual Power, he tracked traces along the road, ultimately encountering Li Xuanji and his followers.
Employing Telepathy, Kong Wo condensed his Spiritual Power into a sharp object, like an awl, drilling into Li Xuanji’s brow.
Li Xuanji felt his brow tingle and itch, hurriedly focusing his spirit to resist the strange energy invading his brow.
But Li Xuanji was only in the Middle Stage of the Gang Condensation Realm and had not specifically trained his spirit, so he couldn’t compare to Kong Wo’s spirit.
Had he not used spiritual defense, it might have been fine. Using it though, Kong Wo’s spirit brutally broke through Li Xuanji’s defense, causing sharp pain in his brow and damage to his spirit.
Kong Wo’s eyes were half-open, half-closed as he read Li Xuanji’s memories with his spirit.
"Oh, so you’re a remnant of the Li Family..."
"Your cultivation talent is quite impressive. If you shave off your worldly troubles and join my Buddhist Sect, there’s a chance for ascension in the future..."
Kong Wo gradually absorbed Li Xuanji’s memories into his mind.
Listening to Kong Wo’s words, Li Xuanji realized that this monk was reading all his memories, knowing that all his arrangements had been uncovered by Kong Wo, thus filling his heart with anxiety.
His eyes turned completely red, his hands clenched tightly, constantly pondering what to do, yet finding no solution.
’So, the skill you cultivated is the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill. I had heard of this martial art before, an immensely powerful Evil Technique, rarely practiced, but today, I finally witness it...’
After a while, Kong Wo received memories about Su Que.
’Oh, so that Martial Artist occasionally met with you in Jiannan Prefecture City.’
’Perhaps, that Martial Artist is also in Jiannan Prefecture City.’
’I did not expect such a small southern prefecture city to hide such a master.’
Subsequently, Kong Wo saw the secret meeting code between Li Xuanji and Su Que.
At this point, Kong Wo stopped using "Telepathy," withdrawing his spirit.
Telepathy, which could probe others’ memories, was extraordinarily powerful.
When Kong Wo used it, it consumed him greatly.
Especially when probing a memory of a Middle Stage Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist.
Although a Middle Stage Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist was two major realms lower than him,
a Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist’s Spiritual Power was not weak, so probing was not easy even with Telepathy.
Thus, having acquired the memories he needed, he no longer used Telepathy.
Then he stood up and glanced at the seriously injured Li Xuanji and others.
He felt that killing these people was a pity.
The temple, conveniently, lacked a few Flesh Body Buddhas.
These individuals, who were not weak Martial Artists, had resilient bodies, ideal for becoming Flesh Body Buddhas.
Thinking of this, Kong Wo opened his mouth wide, energy surging through his Dantian, and roared.
Like a Lion’s Roar, it echoed through the forested hills.
After about the time taken to drink a cup of tea, six monks came rushing over.
Kong Wo naturally couldn’t have come alone; he had used Divine Movement to arrive first while tracking Li Xuanji and his followers.
Once the monks arrived, Kong Wo instructed them to take Li Xuanji and his people back to the Great Buddha Temple.
Then, he tapped his foot and used Divine Movement to head towards Jiannan Prefecture City.
Kong Wo’s Lightweight Skill was exceptionally high; in mere moments, he reached Jiannan Prefecture City.
Once in Jiannan Prefecture City, he sped down the streets, also releasing Divine Intent.
He believed that if the person were in Jiannan Prefecture City, his Divine Intent should find them.
Because he had cultivated Telepathy, his spirit was much stronger than Martial Artists of the same realm.
However, after searching for a while, he could not find any Martial Artist above the Gang Condensation Realm in Jiannan Prefecture City.
’What’s going on? Could it be that this person doesn’t reside in Jiannan Prefecture City?’
Kong Wo pondered in his heart and, according to Li Xuanji’s memory, drew the agreed-upon secret code between Li Xuanji and Su Que at the four gates of Jiannan Prefecture City.
