Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 402 - 235: Noble Family Essence, All Devoured

Chapter 402: Chapter 235: Noble Family Essence, All Devoured

Soon, they heard the screeching of the Celestial Bird echoing from the cave where it was kept.

With Ximen Sha absent, the members of the Ximen Family were now led by Ximen Sha’s younger brother, Ximen Lou.

Ximen Lou was also a Divine Realm Martial Artist, but he had only attained the Twelve Gods, far inferior to Ximen Sha.

Not seeing any trace of Ximen Sha, he suddenly heard the screeching of the Celestial Bird abruptly cut off, filling his heart with fear.

He reckoned that the strength of the uninvited guest was, in all likelihood, above that of Ximen Sha.

Even if they rushed to the rescue, it was highly likely they would only add to the casualties.

Moreover, the recent destruction of two Noble Families in succession filled him with dread.

He also feared that such a fate might befall their Ximen Family.

"Third Uncle, what should we do?"

A Ximen Family disciple asked Ximen Lou.

Ximen Lou hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We must immediately split up and flee from here!"

"What?!"

Hearing Ximen Lou’s decision, the Ximen Family disciples were all stunned.

They could hardly imagine that they, as a major Noble Family in the Central Plains, would have to go into exile.

"Do not hesitate. Escape as best as you can, go separately!"

Ximen Lou uttered his last words and, without waiting for a response, immediately used his Lightweight Skill, transforming into a shadow, and fled the scene first.

Leaving the Ximen Family disciples looking at each other in dismay.

Ximen Lou had devoted over forty years of hard cultivation to reach the Twelve Gods of the Divine Realm, a truly challenging feat.

He was unwilling to meet a more formidable opponent tonight and perish here.

He exerted all his might in using his Lightweight Skill and, after leaving the estate, immediately changed direction, heading towards the Capital City.

Their Ximen Family, since Emperor Jing of Liang secluded himself for five years, had already allied with the Crown Prince.

He needed to convey this news to the Crown Prince.

...

After Su Que exited the cave, he spread out the map to check the location of another Noble Family.

He knew that Ximen Sha’s long howl of warning and the Celestial Bird’s prolonged screech would surely put the rest of the Ximen Family on alert.

These members of the Ximen Family might spread the news, seeking help.

If this news reached the ears of other Noble Families, it would make them guard against it.

The guarded Noble Families might hide the Exotic Beasts or directly kill them to share the Essence.

Or even, all the Noble Families could unite, waiting for him to arrive.

He did not want this situation to occur, so he planned to cultivate the Divine Intent Diagram and refine the Essence after tonight.

Tonight, he intended to seize the Divine Intent Diagram and Exotic Beast Essence from the other Noble Families except for the Imperial Xiaos.

After noting the location of the nearest Noble Family on the map, he put it away and used his Lightweight Skill to fly towards their location.

While flying, he practiced the Seven Injuries Fist.

Every step he took was the pace of the Seven Injuries Fist.

As he took a step, his fist would shoot forward.

The Fist Gang and Fist Intent were tightly contained in his fist, hidden and withheld.

Thus, with every punch, only a fierce wind sound was heard in the air, without much disturbance.

Seven Injuries Fist (10th Realm Shocking the Ancients 7%)

He flew all the way, practicing punching, and when his progress in the Seven Injuries Fist increased by 2%, he arrived at the Su Family, one of the major Noble Families in the Central Plains.

According to the information, the Su Family had over a hundred members, all gathered in a massive ancient mansion.

The Su Family’s servants numbered as many as two thousand, a display of extreme luxury.

The Su Family controlled the major Sects and Gangs in that region.

The major Sects and Gangs, in turn, dominated the minor Sects and Gangs beneath them.

The minor Sects and Gangs further exploited the common people in layers.

Thus, the Su Family amassed most of the wealth and resources, keeping some for themselves and sending a portion to the Imperial Family.

After Su Que dashed into the Su Family’s ancient mansion, he sped toward its depths.

Soon, in a quiet and spacious courtyard within the mansion, he encountered the Patriarch of the Su Family, who had come out of his room to investigate the impending danger.

The Patriarch of the Su Family was not even a match for him in a single exchange.

After Su Que shattered his ribs with one punch, he forced him to lead him to the Su Family’s Divine Intent Diagram.

And he took him to the cage where the Su Family imprisoned the Exotic Beast.

The Su Family’s Exotic Beast, named the Nine-Heaven Sky Flood Dragon, was born from the mating of the Imperial Auspicious Beast Dragon and another Exotic Beast.

Upon seeing the Exotic Beast, Su Que immediately ended the Patriarch’s life, killed the Exotic Beast, took the Exotic Beast Essence, and moved on to the next Noble Family.

...

The night quietly passed.

Unknowingly, the dawn was breaking.

In just one night, the six noble families of the Central Plains, except for the Imperial Family and the Xiao Family, saw their patriarchs disappear, and their Divine Intent Diagrams and Exotic Beasts were lost.

This news shook the Central Plains like a violent storm.

The forces originally suppressed by the noble families began to stir restlessly.

Amidst the changing winds and clouds of the Liang Kingdom, Su Que had already reached a deserted island overseas.

He carried a bundle containing six Divine Intent Diagram Secret Manuals and the Celestial Deformed Foot Secret Manual.

Last night, he had successively infiltrated the Ximen Family, Su Family, Xuanyuan Family, Sima Family, Lin Family, and Ou Family.

He stole their Divine Intent Diagram Secret Manuals, as well as the Celestial Deformed Foot Secret Manual of the Ou Family.

At this moment, his entire body was burning hot.

The six Exotic Beast Essences were all swallowed by him, transmitting searing and violent energy throughout his body.

He intended to refine all the essence on this deserted island.

And merge the divine intents from the six Divine Intent Diagrams into his body.

Once his strength had greatly increased, he would return to the Central Plains to plan for the Divine Intent Diagrams and Exotic Beasts of the Great Buddha Temple and the True Profound Sect.

Compared to the noble families, these two major sects had existed for a longer time and were more mysterious.

Moreover, these two sects were not like the noble families, completely submissive to the Liang Royal Family.

Thus, it was evident that this Buddhist and Daoist sect must have some reliance.

Therefore, he did not rashly intrude into these two major sects last night.

He first glanced at his attributes.

Remaining Life: 1230

Talent Value: 245

He did not deliberately refine the essence in his body.

The energy emitted from the part of the essence dissolved by his stomach acid had already increased his lifespan by about a hundred years.

The energy was like waves, battering against his body.

He introspected his entire body, seeing his flesh and Five Viscera become tighter and more resilient.

His skin became more radiant, glowing with luster.

He walked to an open space on the deserted island and began to cultivate the Seven Injuries Fist, facing the morning sun.

Now, his Qi Blood flowed rapidly, and his physical vitality increased, so his cultivation of the Seven Injuries Fist would progress faster.

Moreover, cultivating the Seven Injuries Fist would help him more quickly refine all the Exotic Beast Essences in his stomach.

The deserted island was far from land, and after examining several hundred miles around, he found no other inhabited islands.

So he no longer held back his Fist Gang and Fist Intent, and began practicing freely!

The Heart-Damaging Technique, Lung Injury Technique, Liver and Intestine Destruction Technique, Hidden Separation Technique, Essence Loss Technique, Mental Confusion Technique, Seven Injuries General Technique of the Seven Injuries Fist were all performed by him, one by one!

His Fist Gang and Fist Intent danced in the air, producing many changes.

Sometimes hard, sometimes soft, sometimes with softness within hardness, sometimes with hardness within softness, sometimes contracting, sometimes expanding horizontally...

The surrounding trees were torn into the sky by his Fist Gang and Fist Intent, shattering into wood chips in the air.

The soil around him first decomposed into powder and then rose into the sky along with his Fist Intent.

Every time he threw a punch, there was a Divine Intent explosion within his Five Viscera!

When the Divine Intent exploded, the Five Viscera where the Divine Intent resided would warm slightly.

It was the damage caused to him by the Divine Intent explosion being reversed, making his organs even stronger.

Su Que cultivated on the deserted island for two days and nights.

After reaching the Peak of the Divine Realm, the barrier between his physical body and heaven and earth was broken, allowing him to naturally absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into his body.

So he did not feel hunger or fatigue.

If he occasionally needed to eat, it was only to satisfy the desire of his taste buds.

After two days and nights, all six Exotic Beast Essences in his stomach were refined.

Remaining Life: 1810

His remaining life increased by nearly six hundred years.

He had never experienced an increase of over six hundred years of life in just two days and nights.

Previously, his life increased little by little, so he did not feel it deeply.

Now, having his lifespan increase by over six hundred years at once, he felt his body much lighter than two days and nights ago.

It was as if many useless things had been extracted from his body.

Additionally, he felt each inch of his muscles become more solid, as if they suddenly gained much more strength.

He looked again at his attributes.

After these two days and nights, not only had his lifespan greatly increased, but the Seven Injuries Fist was also about to break through.
