Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 321 - 195: Great Yama Body Skill! Breaking Through Evil Fist First Heaven! (Part 2)
"Sir, please give me one day. If you come here tomorrow, I will be able to gift you this Dharma Gate."
"That sounds like quite a favor." Su Que felt slightly surprised upon hearing about such a Dharma Gate.
He then arranged a time with Li Xuanji for the next day and left the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion.
The next day, Su Que went to the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion at the agreed time and received the Dharma Gate promised by Li Xuanji.
It was an aged, yellowed parchment.
Su Que took it from Li Xuanji’s hand, pulled out the Silver Needle that held the parchment together, and spread it open.
On it were densely packed small characters along with several diagrams of human muscle structures.
He saw on the right side of the parchment, characters slightly larger than the others: Great Yama Body Skill.
Li Xuanji said, "I heard this Dharma Gate was passed to a monk in the Central Plains by an ascetic monk from the West. Later, this Central Plains monk recorded the Dharma Gate on this parchment."
Su Que nodded and immediately stored the parchment, stuck the Silver Needle back onto it, bid farewell to Li Xuanji, and left the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion.
He planned to examine this Dharma Gate closely once he returned to the cave where his possessions were hidden.
Su Que’s Body Technique was extremely swift, and shortly he returned to the cave.
He took off the cloak he wore and removed his mask, sitting down cross-legged.
He took out the parchment from his clothes, pulled out the Silver Needle, spread it open, and carefully examined it.
Earlier, when he was practicing Lightweight Skill flying here, he was worried.
Because the cultivation technique he practiced had its side effects completely reversed.
If the side effects of this Dharma Gate meant simulating the effects of being struck by swords, spears, or sticks, then reversing these side effects would violate the heart of his practice of this Dharma Gate.
However, at this moment, after reading the parchment carefully, he realized he need not worry.
This Dharma Gate is not a cultivation technique; it entirely does not involve "Qi."
It is merely a technique for exercising the internal muscles of the body.
Through the internal opposition of muscle against muscle within the body, it simulates the effect of being struck by swords, spears, or sticks.
The parchment mentions that if trained properly, after many days, the flesh will become even sturdier.
It also notes to determine the intensity of training based on one’s physical strength.
The more robust the physique, the greater the power of muscle opposition can be increased accordingly.
Su Que looked through the parchment again and began to exercise his muscles according to the method described.
He gathered his Spirit, maneuvering every muscle in his upper body, starting to squeeze and strike each other.
Gradually, as his muscle manipulation became more proficient, a sensation of pain emerged throughout his body.
He broke out into a light sweat, taking off his upper clothing, revealing a well-defined and muscular physique.
At this moment, the muscles in his body were moving vigorously.
It was as if small spheres were jumping and wandering beneath his skin.
As the muscle opposition became increasingly fierce, his physique began to appear slightly flushed, giving rise to a sensation akin to being struck by sticks.
’This Dharma Gate is truly wondrous!’ Su Que couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.
Because it is merely a technique; without practice, one can’t master it, but with sufficient practice, it can become adept, just like whistling or tongue-flicking.
It is not a cultivation technique, and no realm exists; if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can’t, you can’t. As long as you are familiar with muscle structure and possess strong enough Spirit, you can learn it.
Therefore, this Dharma Gate does not appear in Su Que’s Attributes.
Su Que multitasked, controlling his muscle opposition while operating the Ice and Fire Seven Realms Inner Power Heart Method.
He now possessed high talent and excellent aptitude; multitasking was effortless for him.
When he operated the Ice and Fire Seven Realms Inner Power Heart Method, the pain of being struck by sticks immediately vanished.
Replacing it was a warm sensation that gradually spread throughout his skin and flesh.
The injury of being struck by sticks had been reversed!
Due to this reversal, his physique became even more robust!
Feeling a change in his heart, Su Que summoned his Attributes.
As the warm sensation grew stronger, the progress in cultivating the Ice and Fire Seven Realms also advanced.

...
After all, the reversal of stick injuries meant Su Que did not have the feeling of severe injury or near-death.
Without Attributes, it would be difficult for him to control the harm "Great Yama Body Skill" could inflict on him.
Currently, he continuously monitors Attributes while practicing "Great Yama Body Skill", using muscle opposition, while operating the Ice and Fire Seven Realms Inner Power Heart Method.
After approximately one incense stick’s worth of time, Su Que saw the Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens had reached 99% Entry.
’About to break through!’
Seeing the Attributes, Su Que felt a small joy in his heart.
Cultivating Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens not only grants him a more powerful fist technique but also strengthens the body, extending longevity, thus increasing Talent Value.
With increased Talent Value, cultivation speed becomes faster.
’I’ve broken through!’
Su Que suddenly felt a strange and powerful force emerge suddenly from within his physique, like the collision of ice and fire.
He glanced at his Attributes.

’It seems each realm corresponds to one heaven in the attributes.’
Observing his changes, Su Que thought to himself.
’Continue cultivating!’
Su Que gathered his Heart Spirit and began the cultivation of Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens Second Heaven.
The cultivation of the Ice and Fire Seven Realms Second Heaven was rather simple, purely consisting of weightlifting with the body.
As to how much weight to lift, it depends on where the cultivator’s limits are.
Su Que stood up, activating True Qi, evaporating all the sweat on his body.
Then, he put on clothes, donned a mask, and sped outside.
On the way, he searched for heavy objects.
He first encountered a giant stone three times the height of a person, swiftly approached, lifted it from underneath with both hands, and easily hoisted the massive stone.
’Too light!’
After breaking through the First Heaven of Ice and Fire Seven Realms, his physique became more robust, naturally granting greater strength.
Ordinary heavy objects were lightweight to him.
’What other heavy objects are there?’
After a brief thought, Su Que’s mind conceived an idea—move a mountain!
With sheer physical strength, he might not manage to literally relocate a mountain.
But he could go up a mountain and carve out sufficiently large stones, based on the weight requirements.
With that thought, Su Que immediately dashed toward a distant mountain.
At the time, it was deep winter, the weather frigid, and the mountain bare.
Birds, beasts, and serpents seemed absent.
At the foot of the hill, Su Que suddenly felt stuck for direction.
Hills connect to the ground, not giant boulders, making it hard to pick them up.
Thus, he aimed to extract a large boulder from within the mountain to cultivate the Second Heaven of Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens.
He ascended the mountain, observed briefly, then formed his right hand into a sword by joining his fingers.
A long Sword Gang appeared above his right hand.
He used Sword Gang to cut the mountain rock.
The Sword Gang was extremely sharp, cutting into the rock like slicing into a piece of tofu.
Gathering his Spirit, Su Que focused, keeping the Sword Gang from his right hand, dragging the sword up the mountain.
When nearing the summit, he flew along the steep slope.
He buried the Sword Gang into the rock and soon encircled a large area.
The circle was as large as a basketball court size from his previous life.
Then still gathering the Sword Gang, he cut into the bottom of this circle.
The Sword Gang cut through the mountain rock, still slicing like tofu.
Su Que darted around the circle, shaving away mud stone with the Sword Gang.
Soon, this huge piece of rock teetered.
A while later, Su Que darted into a crevice beneath the rock, using Sword Gang for another cut.
Rumble!
Like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, this rock, after slicing, immediately slumped and fell down the mountainside.
Su Que moved swiftly, darted down, raising both hands high, intending to catch the immense rock with his flesh’s strength.
