Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 282 - 176: Martial Arts Zen Sect, Marriage Robe Divine Skill! (Part 2)

Thus, he was able to cultivate with peace of mind and maintain his cultivation speed.

Unknowingly, more than three months passed, and it was already late autumn.

In a few days, it would be Su Que's twenty-first birthday.

Su Que looked at the red leaves on the ground and thought time passed really quickly, he had already practiced martial arts for four years.

Initially, he practiced martial arts to seek longevity and have the power to protect himself in this martial arts world.

To this day, this original intention has not changed.

He only lamented that after four years, he had attained more than six hundred years of remaining lifespan, yet has not become the strongest in martial arts in the world.

'Continue cultivating!'

Su Que lamented for a while, then refocused his mind, left the fiery forest, and turned to return to the cave.

He walked to the depths of the cave and sat cross-legged.

He operated True Qi, attempting to condense Gang Qi with a larger range of destruction, enhancing his martial arts cultivation.

Martial Arts Realm: Gang Condensing Realm · Five Zhang Nine Chi

Recently, because he spent more time enhancing other martial arts, his martial arts cultivation advanced slightly slower.

Now, he intended to make a firm effort to elevate his martial arts cultivation!

Due to consuming a large amount of elixir, potent medicinal power circulated within him.

His whole body heated up, True Qi and Qi Blood surged more rapidly.

He focused on transporting True Qi, condensing Gang Qi within himself.

The Gang Qi condensed within him became increasingly dense and longer.

Su Que sat cross-legged in the cave with closed eyes and a straight posture.

Externally, he was merely sitting quietly, no movement apparent.

But within him, True Qi circulated, compressed, and condensed like a tornado, with Gang Qi lengthening.

Once Gang Qi could condense to twelve zhang, it would reach the peak of Gang Condensing Realm, thereby advancing to the next martial arts realm.

However, the quality of Gang Qi varies among martial artists.

Some martial artists, seeking speed, condense Gang Qi that reaches twelve zhang in range but with inferior quality.

If they face an enemy, their Gang Qi could be easily broken by a same-level martial artist. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Su Que aimed to compress every bit of True Qi until it could compress no further, ensuring the tightness and high quality of his Gang Qi.

If possible, he even wanted his Gang Qi to be harder than those Exotic Soldiers!

Unconsciously, while condensing True Qi, time passed by a stick of incense.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

The Gang Qi he was able to condense again reached a new milestone.

'Practice Marriage Robe Divine Skill again!'

Su Que's heart stirred, the Gang Qi within him abruptly dispersed into True Qi rushing through his meridians.

He immediately changed to a different cross-legged position, initiating the practice of Marriage Robe Divine Skill.

White mist gradually rose from his Baihui Acupoint and spinal column.

In the mist, threads of yellow electric light flickered.

These were caused by the collision and friction of True Qi.

Marriage Robe Divine Skill (Peak of the 8th Realm 76%)

After this period of cultivation, Marriage Robe Divine Skill had improved significantly.

After practicing a while, as he transported the True Qi of Marriage Robe Divine Skill, he seemed to feel a force emerging within, wanting to flow out of his body.

'What is this power?'

As Su Que wondered, he felt a curious excitement.

Slowly, he guided the force to disperse outside.

He then discovered that releasing this force required using Gang Qi.

Moreover, low-strength Gang Qi would not suffice; he had just condensed six zhang of Gang Qi, which seemed perfect.

Thus, he condensed True Qi into Gang Qi and merged it with this force.

Then, with a thought, he released the force infused with Gang Qi from his Baihui Acupoint and spinal Du Meridian!

Immediately, the mist rising from his Baihui Acupoint and spinal column instantly dissipated.

The space behind him twisted slightly.

A giant form resembling a Dharma Aspect soared up!

'What is this?'

This power originated from him; although he couldn't see the form behind him, the form's image was entirely reflected in his mind.

As someone who had experienced two lifetimes, he found it challenging to define this form resembling a Dharma Aspect.

The form slightly blurred, feeling faintly concealed and real.

At first glance, it resembled a Buddha statue sitting on a lotus platform in a Buddhist temple, carrying a touch of solemnity.

However, it was unlike any Buddha he had seen.

This form resembling a Dharma Aspect, temporarily named Dharma Aspect, possessed a thousand hands and thousand arms.

In the thousand hands, holding various slaying weapons.

These slaying weapons were ones Su Que recognized or had seen.

Knives, guns, swords, halberds, maces, whips, shovels, axes, hammers... All were present!

Moreover, the Dharma Aspect's face resembled Su Que's facial structure, and it formed a fierce eye expression.

Seeing this, Su Que couldn't help but tremble inwardly.

'Why does the Dharma Aspect's face resemble mine?'

'The power of this Dharma aspect originates from Marriage Robe Divine Skill...'

Su Que pondered, recalling the Marriage Robe Divine Skill secret manual he obtained initially.

The cultivation method of Marriage Robe Divine Skill was, upon practicing the technique to sixty percent proficiency, to disperse all power.

The manual recorded two methods for dispersing skill.

The first was transferring power to others, which also considered as dispersing power.

The second was forcibly dispersing the power oneself.

In fact, most people practicing Marriage Robe Divine Skill chose the first method to transfer power to others, at least making the previous practice worthwhile.

From this perspective, Marriage Robe Divine Skill, as a martial arts, had strong "Buddhist" flavor.

Unlike the Furnace Cauldron Technique of the Demon Sect, which involves deceiving or forcing the Furnace to practice, and upon Furnace's success, seizing all Furnace's power.

Marriage Robe Divine Skill serves as a wedding dress for another.

Those who practice Marriage Robe Divine Skill cultivate arduously and then must transfer their cultivated power to others.

Only by re-cultivating can they advance to higher realms.

This closely resembles the Buddhist notion of "feeding eagles with flesh," thereby reaching higher realms.

Thinking of this, Su Que speculated.

Perhaps in normally practicing Marriage Robe Divine Skill, after reaching sixty percent proficiency, power is transferred or dispersed.

After re-cultivating, when the Marriage Robe Divine Skill reaches a certain level and can condense six zhang of Gang Qi, it can manifest as a "Buddha's" Dharma Aspect.

He practiced Marriage Robe Divine Skill without dispersing skill, continuing to cultivate, causing Marriage Robe Divine Skill's True Qi to become increasingly fierce like fire.

His Marriage Robe Divine Skill thus became mutated.

Thus, he manifested the Dharma Aspect with the power generated from Marriage Robe Divine Skill in the form of "Killing Buddha," "War Buddha."

Moreover, he found that this "Killing Buddha" form deeply related to his knowledge and mental state.

Because the face of "Killing Buddha" bore seven to eight resemblances to his own.

Additionally, the weapons held by "Killing Buddha" were those he had seen in his previous or current life.

'Since this Killing Buddha image originates from my mind, can I use my mind to alter its appearance?'

'Otherwise, wearing a mask, but the manifested Dharma Aspect behind me has my face, what's the purpose of wearing a mask!'

Considering this, Su Que decided to use his mind to modify the Dharma Aspect's face.

Indeed, as he applied his spirit, the Dharma Aspect's face initially twisted slightly, then changed.

The face resembling his own transformed into a Rakshasa Face, resembling his mask.

This Rakshasa Face, paired with various slaying swords in the thousand hands and arms, made this Dharma Aspect more fierce.

Compared to the benevolent Buddha statues in Buddhist temples, this Dharma Aspect, half Buddha half demon, seemed quite eerie.

On the slightly blurred Dharma Aspect, streaks of yellow electric light flashed.

This Dharma Aspect formed from the power generated by Marriage Robe Divine Skill and fused with Gang Qi.

Therefore, it emitted electric light caused by the collision of True Qi on it.

Upon manifesting the Dharma Aspect, Su Que felt his body filled with a force.

At this time, being inside the cave, it was not suitable to test the power of this force.

Thus, he temporarily withdrew the Marriage Robe Divine Skill, causing the Dharma Aspect to disperse alongside.

Then, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the cave.

With a light step, he flew swiftly towards a forest.
