Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 386 - 227: Martial Immortal

Because he felt that even if he cultivated to the peak of the Divine Realm, his life might be long, but it would not make him immortal.

The woman listened and then replied:

"Above the Divine Realm, there should be more realms... But we do not know, because for hundreds of years, even martial artists of the Divine Realm have greatly decreased, and no one has cultivated to the peak of the Divine Realm."

"However, above the Divine Realm, there might have been the existence of almost Martial Immortals."

"According to the elders on our island, that top martial artist who founded the sect on the island two thousand years ago was taken away by a Martial Immortal more than a thousand years ago and left this island."

"And precisely because of this, without this top martial artist, the sect’s strength weakened considerably, and coupled with the lack of talent of later generations, the sect gradually declined."

"Later, the sect was completely gone, leaving only the descendants of those from the sect with us."

’Immortal...’

Su Que heard this and pondered in his heart.

’Does this world really have immortals?’

He hoped that this world indeed had immortals.

If there were immortals, it would mean a longer life, or even immortality.

He possessed the ability to reverse the side effects of cultivation techniques, and his talent was extraordinary.

He had only been cultivating for over four years, yet had gone from a scholar who couldn’t even truss a chicken to a martial artist capable of splitting mountains with a fist.

If this world indeed had immortals, then cultivating to immortality would just be a matter of time for him.

"What you said, is it all from the words of elders? Do you have any ancient texts from the former sect left on your island?"

Su Que, despite being only at the Early Stage of the Divine Realm, wanted to understand the realms beyond the Divine Realm in advance. This would enable him to make better plans for his cultivation, so he asked.

The bronze-skinned woman said, "Only a small part remains, but it’s not of much use."

"Then let’s go have a look on your island," Su Que said.

Following that, he removed his hand from the woman and withdrew his True Qi.

The bronze-skinned woman was freed. Though she resented Su Que, she knew his strength and dared not act aggressively.

Moreover, she could no longer utilize the divine intent of her predecessors, and her strength had diminished greatly. Even if she fought, it would only mean seeking death.

After gaining freedom, the woman awakened the other islanders.

When the islanders awoke, they all glared angrily at Su Que.

Just about to make a move, the bronze-skinned woman transmitted a message, explaining the current situation, and restrained them all.

Afterward, the islanders could only carry the shriveled body of the ancient giant dragon and swim towards the island.

With the guidance of the bronze-skinned woman, Su Que swam ahead.

Upon emerging from the sea, Su Que could still see the ancient giant dragon absorbing and exhaling the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, producing a seven-colored cloud.

However, the colors of the cloud were already very faint and gradually dissipating.

The island where the woman lived was five hundred miles away from the seven-colored cloud.

Both Su Que and the bronze-skinned woman were in the Divine Realm, and their speed in the water was extremely fast. They quickly reached the island.

The exterior of the island was a jungle, and the islanders lived in the center.

Su Que and the bronze-skinned woman’s figures swiftly traversed the jungle.

Upon reaching the center, Su Que saw many simple stone houses.

It was already evening, and the setting sun shone over from one direction of the sea, seemingly dyeing everything here red.

Thin smoke curled up from the stone houses.

Among the stone house cluster was a divine temple.

According to the bronze-skinned woman, this temple was for worshiping the ancient giant dragon.

Since the complete decline of the sect, this occasionally sleeping, occasionally waking ancient giant dragon had been regarded as their guardian god.

Moreover, the ancient giant dragon could still communicate with them, conveying a bit of thought, making it deemed divine by them.

Currently, incense smoke was also wafting from the temple.

Some elders and children, carrying bamboo baskets filled with offerings and candles for the gods, walked inside.

Su Que saw many island residents, but most of them were ordinary people without any martial arts cultivation.

These ordinary people did not know that Su Que was the one who killed the dragon god they worshiped. They just saw Su Que’s ghost mask, which sent a shiver down their spines and stirred some fear.

But seeing Su Que with their Holy Daughter eased their fear slightly.

The Holy Daughter was the most talented and highest in martial arts cultivation on the island, the real guardian of their island.

As the bronze-skinned woman walked by, many people greeted her.

Though she was in a bad mood, she forced a smile and replied one by one, leading Su Que toward a mountain.

Upon climbing the mountain, Su Que saw a dilapidated observatory nestled beneath the trees.

Although the observatory was dilapidated, its architecture style was particularly grand from its outline.

One could see that there must have been a major sect on this island before.

This island could harbor exotic beasts like the ancient giant dragon, indicating a richness in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, similar to the places where auspicious beasts dwelled, as Li Xuanji had mentioned before.

Such a place was also conducive to cultivating a vast amount of Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

A martial arts sect would be well-suited to develop on this island.

Su Que was now in the Divine Realm, storing eleven kinds of divine intent in his four organs.

His perception had become much sharper, and he could also sense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

He felt the Spiritual Qi on this island was indeed much denser than elsewhere.

With the guidance of the bronze-skinned woman, Su Que entered the observatory and browsed through several volumes of ancient texts.

These texts indeed recorded nothing that was useful to him.

One of the texts was a cultivation technique for the Divine Realm.

Apart from the cultivation instructions, it included twenty-seven divine intent diagrams.

The images depicted were all various kinds of dragons.

No wonder, when the bronze-skinned woman activated her divine intent, a dragon roar emanated from her body.

He was not fond of using exotic beasts as divine intent in the divine intent diagram.

Nonetheless, he recorded these divine intent diagrams, perhaps in the future, he could draw them for others to practice.

After memorizing them, he wandered around the remains of the sect for a while by himself.

No traces or objects from the past were found.

’Perhaps the ancient giant dragon knew the most about the past, and it could also communicate thoughts to humans.’

’But it has already been killed by me.’

Looking at the old observatory, Su Que thought.

’Alright, it’s time to leave.’

Upon this thought, Su Que employed his lightweight skill and left.

The bronze-skinned woman saw Su Que leave, her expression complex.

She thought, although Su Que killed the dragon god, his strength was overwhelming, leaving them no chance of revenge whatsoever.

They could only let the murderer of the dragon god depart just like that.

The bronze-skinned woman sighed, went down the mountain, and saw several islanders who had brought back the ancient giant dragon’s body.

The young islander, whose skin was darkened by the sun, said, "Holy Daughter Sister, we were afraid that if we brought back the dragon god, letting others see it would cause panic, so we landed from the northwest side of the island and buried the dragon god’s body in that patch of mud."

Upon hearing this, the bronze-skinned woman nodded.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Please inform everyone on the island that we have to move away."

"What?"

Hearing this, the islanders were all shocked.

After all, their ancestors had lived here for over two thousand years.

Leaving just like that was a surprising decision.

The bronze-skinned woman said calmly, "The commotion from the dragon god waking up this time was too big, attracting too many martial arts experts. Our island has been exposed."

"Those martial artists who came from afar might send more people."

"Moreover, the mysterious man wearing the ghost mask might spread the information about this island, inviting more people."

"If we stay, we will not be able to contend with those experts and cannot guarantee the safety of others."

"Moreover, now that the dragon god is dead..."

A swarthy middle-aged man suddenly asked, "But Holy Daughter, only on this island can a large amount of Treasures of Heaven and Earth grow to support our cultivation."

"If we leave, our cultivation progress will slow down significantly."

"Without that progress, how will we avenge the dragon god? How will we cultivate?"

Upon hearing this, the bronze-skinned woman just replied calmly, "Then we won’t avenge or cultivate anymore."

"I have been thinking, our continued stay on the island was the selfish desire of each generation of martial artists."

"We martial artists hoped to rely on the dragon god and the herbs on the island to further progress in martial arts."

"Perhaps one could become the legendary Martial Immortal of the island." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"But this island is rich in Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, which will always attract people."

"In the past few hundred years, the intruders weren’t strong, and islanders could protect the locals."

"But this time, we are completely exposed, and indeed we are powerless to protect everyone. It would be better to leave."
