Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 345 - 207: Ice and Fire Against the Sword Gang! Cultivation Techniques for the Divine Realm from Every Faction!

Chapter 345: Chapter 207: Ice and Fire Against the Sword Gang! Cultivation Techniques for the Divine Realm from Every Faction!

Liu Zhanhuo only felt his insides turn alternately cold and hot, causing intense discomfort, and his combat power instantly plummeted.

"I am an official of the Court..."

Knowing he was no match for this person and fearing for his life, he hastily asserted his status, hoping it would make the person stop.

Su Que had unleashed the Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens with full force earlier, enjoying the fierce battle, intending to strike again and kill this Imperial Guard.

However, remembering he needed to extract information from this man about the Court’s Divine Realm cultivation technique, he quickly withdrew his fist.

The Ice and Fire Dual Force also vanished, and his power shifted. Originally aiming at Liu Zhanhuo’s fists, it curved swiftly in the air and went towards Liu Zhanhuo’s temple.

’Bells and Drums Sound Together!’

Su Que used a small amount of force, employing the most common technique in Martial Arts.

His two fists met atop Liu Zhanhuo’s head, and the thumb bones struck Liu Zhanhuo’s temples respectively.

Liu Zhanhuo only felt his head buzz, his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness.

His body went limp, his right hand relaxed, and the Fire Pattern Saber fell towards the ground.

Su Que grabbed Liu Zhanhuo by the collar with one hand and seized the Fire Pattern Saber with the other.

Earlier, due to the force generated by Su Que and Liu Zhanhuo’s duel, the magma below the volcano crater was pushed against the volcano rock wall.

At their feet, there was not a trace of magma, only a blazing red surface.

Now, because neither Su Que nor Liu Zhanhuo was fighting, the magma that had been pushed aside gathered like waves towards Su Que.

Just as the magma was about to cover them, Su Que’s bare feet suddenly tensed, with the muscles sharply defined and veins visibly protruding.

Then, Su Que violently pushed off the ground.

The ground beneath him cracked, shattered, and sank.

He soared with the force of that push, shooting like lightning towards the volcano crater!

...

Outside the crater.

The Daoists from the True Profound Sect had seen Liu Zhanhuo jump down, and shortly afterward, the sounds of Qi Forces clashing erupted from below.

Subsequently, magma and hot air intermittently burst from the crater.

Fearing being affected, the Daoists retreated to watch anxiously, even leaving their elixirs unattended.

After some time without any movement from within the crater, they looked at each other in confusion.

Unsure of what had transpired inside, they were cautious about approaching the edge.

Simultaneously, they hesitated over whether they needed to rush to the Capital City to report the situation here.

Just as they were vacillating, a naked man with a face covered in purple energy and wildly flowing long hair leaped out of the crater.

This man’s shoulder carried Liu Zhanhuo.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the True Profound Sect Daoists changed dramatically, and they recoiled.

They recognized Liu Zhanhuo as a master of the Divine Realm.

Since Liu Zhanhuo had been subdued by this muscular man who suddenly sprang from the crater, even more so them.

Though their Martial Arts realm wasn’t low, they spent most of their time researching alchemy, with little time dedicated to Martial Arts cultivation.

Their high realm in Martial Arts was merely for strengthening the body and prolonging life.

If they were truly forced to engage in combat, they’d likely be far less formidable than those in the True Profound Sect who specialize in martial skills of the same realm.

After Su Que leaped out of the crater, he also saw circles of alchemy furnaces and those Daoists with startled expressions.

Thinking these Daoists were involved in alchemy for the Emperor, it indicated the elixirs in those furnaces must be of upper grade.

Moreover, these True Profound Sect Daoists must know some powerful elixir recipes.

He thought of taking some elixirs and extracting these recipes from the Daoists to bring back to Elder Qingxuan as references.

After all, having come from a thousand miles away, he couldn’t return empty-handed.

The True Profound Sect Daoists, seeing Su Que standing silently with his face covered in purple energy—unseen—faced unease in their hearts as he stared intently at them, thus they unfolded their Lightweight Skill and fled in all directions.

Seeing the Daoists fleeing, Su Que, recalling the clothing buried underground, decided not to retrieve it for now and immediately chased after them with Lightweight Skill.

The Daoists focused on alchemy posed only slightly superior martial cultivation, and their Lightweight Skill was subpar.

Soon, a Daoist at the Gang Condensing Realm was caught by Su Que.

Su Que tucked the Fire Pattern Saber held in his left hand under his right arm.

Then, like catching a chick, he grabbed the Daoist’s collar with his left hand.

"What do you want?!"

The Daoist shouted while struggling.

Su Que immediately released a stream of True Qi, striking the Daoist’s head to knock him out.

Then, Su Que tossed the Daoist over his shoulder, carrying Liu Zhanhuo on one side and a Daoist on the other, along with a saber, and returned to the volcano crater.

He set down both men and saber, invoking Gang Qi to clear the mud and retrieve his mask and clothing.

Then he went to a nearby alchemy furnace, opened it, and took several elixirs from within.

Seeing these elixirs emitting scorching heat but looking blackish, he realized they were not yet finished.

He pocketed the elixirs in his clothes and inserted the Fire Pattern Saber into the sheath at Liu Zhanhuo’s waist.

He lifted the two men and sped away to find a hidden place for questioning.

...

Su Que sprinted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea and located a wooded mountain area.

He plunged into the forest and, after some further sprinting, spotted a concealed cave.

Su Que pushed forcefully towards that hidden cave.

Deep in the cave, he set down Liu Zhanhuo and the True Profound Sect Daoist.

First, he injected a stream of True Qi into Liu Zhanhuo’s body, waking him up.

Liu Zhanhuo shivered and opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Su Que, he immediately said, "I am a Court Official, the Emperor’s Personal Guard..."

He spoke while attempting to draw his saber in resistance.

Su Que promptly injected a stream of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into his body, severing his hand and foot tendons.

Then he said coldly, "If you wish to go back, answer my questions properly."

Liu Zhanhuo’s severed tendons combined with the fiery thunderous Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi coursing through his meridians caused unbearable pain, and his body trembled violently.

"What do you want to ask?" Liu Zhanhuo, realizing he couldn’t resist, slightly calmed down and asked with his eyes fixed on Su Que.

"The Court’s Divine Realm cultivation technique." Su Que replied.

Liu Zhanhuo froze. He initially thought Su Que wanted Court secrets but hadn’t expected Su Que to ask merely about that.

Discussing this was not exactly leaking any secrets. Besides, it couldn’t be concisely articulated.

Thus, Liu Zhanhuo said:

"In the old days, Emperor Liang, after destroying various sects, collected those sects’ books in the Court’s Armory."

"Over subsequent centuries of the Court’s Expansion, as it obliterated dissent, the Court’s Armory continuously expanded."

"The Divine Realm cultivation techniques in the Court’s Armory include several; it depends on which one you want to know."

"Tell me every type you have." Su Que said.

Liu Zhanhuo said, "Cultivating the Divine Realm involves visualizing Divine Intent and integrating it into specific organs and apertures."

"Depending on their sect, martial artists visualize different Divine Intents."

"Some sects visualize various phenomena and omens of the world, like wind, thunder, fire, sea, etc."

"Some sects visualize exotic beasts from nature, like the Xingyi Sect, which likes visualizing Dragons, Phoenixes, and other Auspicious Beasts."

"Some sects visualize their deities, as seen in the Buddhist Sect, Daoist Sect, and various Evil Cult sects."

"Other sects visualize celestial phenomena..."

"The Court’s Armory includes cultivation techniques from various sects across the world, roughly categorizing them into these types."

Su Que asked again, "How do you cultivate? Explain it in detail."

Liu Zhanhuo said, "All martial artists in the Divine Realm cultivate through Visualization Diagrams."

"The Visualization Diagram I use was obtained from the Court’s Armory."

"However, those diagrams can’t leave the Armory. Although I’ve memorized them, I’m not skilled in drawing, so I can’t draw them for you."
