Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Su Changkong’s thought stirred, drawing upon his Essence as a guide. The massive tiger’s shadow twisted and writhed before, in the blink of an eye, transforming into a black bear standing upright. A giant bear paw swung down furiously through the air.

“Crack!”

Despite being three zhang away, a large tree as thick as a bowl within the manor was crushed by an invisible colossal force, snapping and breaking. Wood chips flew in all directions, scattering several zhang away into the snowy ground.

Whoosh!

The giant bear shadow once again shifted, taking on the form of a white crane’s silhouette. With a brightly colored red crown akin to a celestial crane, it grasped Su Changkong’s shoulders with its claws, flapping its wings and conjuring a strong wind that lifted him off the ground. He skimmed low over the manor, weaving through branches without ever touching the ground, causing the sparse snow on the leaves to fall.

Such tactics were truly not something an ordinary mortal could achieve!

Light as a feather, Su Changkong landed on the ground, the white crane shadow slowly dissipating behind him.

“This is… the 10th level Five Animal Frolics! By using my Essence as a guide and drawing in nature’s spiritual energy, transforming intent into form! Myriad changes, all at the will of the heart!”

Su Changkong slowly opened his eyes, a sincere smile of joy gracing his lips. His Five Animal Frolics, which he had cultivated to the 9th level for many years, had finally achieved another breakthrough!

After half a year of arduous cultivation, merging the essence of the Intention Demon Form Skill into the Five Animal Frolics, and enduring the hardship of mental cultivation of the Five Animal Frolics, coupled with Su Changkong’s 8th level Guiding Technique, which could harness nature’s spiritual energy, he had finally completed the step of transforming intent into form, elevating the Five Animal Frolics from the 9th to the 10th level!

Tiger, deer, bear, monkey, bird; the five forms came to life, changing as one desires!

Seeing such a level of fist technique would shock anyone, thinking how a set of Health-preserving Fist could be cultivated to such a terrifying level can only be described with the words ‘Shock the world and horrify the public’!

Lifespan: 245 years

Potential Points: 46

Seeing the breakthrough of the Five Animal Frolics to the 10th level, Shock the world and horrify the public realm, Su Changkong noticed his lifespan and potential had once again seen growth.

His lifespan had surged by 20 years, reaching 245 years, while his potential points had also jumped by four, achieving a level of 46—an immense increase!

“Having reached the 10th level of the Five Animal Frolics, my current combat strength is no less than during my peak period, even stronger! At the very least, if I were to encounter Chikhatu again, relying on this fist technique that transforms intent into form, I could dispatch him with relative ease!”

Su Changkong was thoroughly satisfied, his face revealing a content smile.

During this time, with his veins completely severed, aside from the physical pain and fatigue, what Su Changkong worried about most was the lack of security. If someone wished him harm, in his state, even a Body Refinement Martial Artist could kill him!

Yet, the Five Animal Frolics reaching the 10th level did not disappoint Su Changkong. Although his severed veins had not been restored, his combat power exceeded that of his peak period.

This was because the Five Animal Frolics of the 10th level, transforming intent into form, did not draw on Su Changkong’s own True Qi or strength but rather the spiritual energy of the world around him. Human power is limited, but nature’s spiritual energy is nearly infinite!

An Innate Martial Artist is one that can make contact with nature’s spiritual energy and utilize it, and only then is one considered a true master!

Chikhatu must have just entered the Innate level. With Su Changkong’s 10th level Five Animal Frolics, facing a martial artist at this level would be easy, far from the desperate struggle of half a year ago that came at the cost of becoming a cripple.

Of course, if Su Changkong wished to reach higher levels, the fundamental step was to reshape and reconnect his severed veins. Otherwise, he estimated this would be the current limit he could achieve!

Having cultivated the Five Animal Frolics to the 10th level and unable to progress in other aspects in the short term, Su Changkong decided that, after the snow stopped, it would be time to leave Dafeng State City.

He was to head to Central State, the largest and most prosperous area within the Great Flame Empire, a tumultuous place dominated by noble families and reclusive sects. There, he might find a way to heal his body, to reshape and reconnect his veins!

At least previously, he learned from Eunuch Xu and his companion that there indeed existed heavenly treasures capable of reshaping and reconnecting veins, although they were exceptionally rare and some were even as precious as Innate Qi. Still, there was hope!

“Cough, cough, cough… So cold, it’s time to go back to my room to rest.” A gust of cold wind hit him, causing the already frail Su Changkong to burst into severe coughs and shiver before deciding to return to his warm room heated by a stove fire.

Whoosh!

With a slight intention, the white crane shadow coalesced behind Su Changkong, grasping his shoulders and flapping its wings, skimming him low across the ground, leaving not a single footprint in the snow as he returned to his warm room with a lit stove.

The blizzard raged on through the night, but Su Changkong slept soundly.

The next morning, the snow had not yet ceased when the sound of knocking came from Ivy Manor–it was Di Hen.

Like always, Di Hen brought food, daily essentials, and other items to Su Changkong.

“Mr. Su… what happened in the green garden?”

Seeing Su Changkong and observing the trees that had been broken and scattered due to last night’s practice gone too far, Di Hen couldn’t help but ask with some curiosity.

“The wind was too strong last night, it broke the trees,” Su Changkong casually concocted an excuse.

Upon hearing this, Di Hen’s mouth twitched slightly. Indeed, the blizzard had blown all night long, yet he saw that the broken tree trunk lay six or seven zhang away from the stump. How strong would the wind have to be to not only snap the tree but also blow it that far?

However, Su Changkong clearly did not wish to elaborate, and Di Hen, knowing his place, did not pry further.

He was well aware of the formidable person Mr. Su was, having personally witnessed the astonishing scene of him galloping across battlefields and killing Innate Martial Artists.

Even though Mr. Su had become a cripple, Di Hen dared not show the slightest disrespect. It was because he felt that the current Su Changkong was even more unfathomable than before, shrouded in a layer of mist, mysterious and inscrutable!
