After Su Que developed the intention of ascending, he began to consider how to handle matters in the Lower Realm.
’Feign death?’
This was his first thought.
However, he imdiately realized that if it were a fake death, Su Jing might have a forensic doctor examine his body, or even perform an autopsy, to understand the cause of his death.
Such a plan would eventually be exposed.
Although, from the mories of those Upper Realm cultivators, he knew that in other small worlds, cultivators had magic to fake death.
——Heads could be restored even if severed, or bodies would not die even if dissected...
But he did not want to expend extra effort to break through this small world’s barrier and then smuggle into another small world to learn that magic.
’Perhaps I should just disappear.’
Su Que thought to himself; this was the simplest thod.
’In a few days, I will vanish.’
’After disappearing for a period, I’ll ascend to the Upper Realm.’
’This way, even if the Upper Realm Gods and Buddhas gain Su Jing’s mories, they won’t be certain that I am the ascender due to the timing mismatch.’
’Moreover, after I disappear, Su Jing may search for everywhere.’
’By then, she won’t be in the Capital City. Even if the Upper Realm Gods and Buddhas perform telepathy on everyone in this small world, they probably won’t do so on her imdiately.’
Just as Su Que thought about this, he entered a deserted alley.
He changed his attire, walked out of the alley, rged into the crowd, and then headed towards his residence.
That night, he created a thod using a cultivation technique "Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture" from the Great Buddha Temple and the Buddhist Sect’s Dharma Empowernt he received from an Arhat, to alter Su Jing’s innate potential.
Before doing so, he had put Su Jing into a deep sleep, ensuring she wouldn’t perceive anything.
He infused his divine-level essence, spirit, and energy into Su Jing’s body to cleanse her marrow via Yijing Marrow Cleansing.
And this marrow cleansing was relatively gentle, enhancing the resilience of Su Jing’s ridians and flesh, increasing her spiritual power.
This benefit was undetectable by others, and only Su Jing would gradually realize it as she continued to cultivate.
Post-cleansing, Su Jing would face no bottlenecks in her cultivation; although not fast, she could progress steadily.
After a certain period, she could beco one of the strongest martial artists in this small world.
Though not the strongest, she would at least be able to escape safely when confronting the top martial artists.
Su Que intentionally controlled the extent of the marrow cleansing, ensuring Su Jing’s talents wouldn’t beco extraordinarily monstrous.
Because, from the Arhat’s mory, he knew Spirit Mountain intended to transform this small world into the Buddha’s World.
Anyone with standout cultivation would be taken to Spirit Mountain.
Su Que definitely didn’t want Su Jing to be taken there.
With fine potential and under the protection of Li Xuanji’s sister, Li Yujing, Su Jing should face no threats in this world moving forward.
Even though Spirit Mountain Arhats were coming to transform this world.
As long as people complied, nothing would happen.
Even if the Arhats from Spirit Mountain descended, as long as Li Xuanji behaved, he would still remain the emperor of this world, albeit ruling under Buddhist Sect’s control.
As long as Li Xuanji remained emperor, he would retain power to protect Li Yujing and Su Jing.
Su Que’s thoughts raced, unconsciously completing Su Jing’s marrow cleansing.
Then he looked towards Su Jing’s longsword.
The longsword contained his spiritual power, ready to be released to fend off opponents if Su Jing encountered danger.
Yet, if the Upper Realm Gods and Buddhas sensed the spiritual power within, they would suspect he was the "mysterious expert."
Thus, with a thought, Su Que retracted all the spiritual power from the longsword.
He thought that since the entire nation was now under Li Xuanji’s rule, Li Xuanji had many adept hands at his command.
With Li Yujing and Su Jing moving together, they would naturally remain safe.
Having set everything in place, Su Que exited the room and closed the door.
...
In the days that followed, Su Que still went out to practice during the day and returned ho at night, behaving as usual.
Thinking it was ti to leave, the day after next, he went to a deserted island and decided not to return that night or for the following days.
However, he mused this was only a temporary departure.
If this small world ever broke free from Spirit Mountain’s control and returned to a state without territorial occupancy, he could still co back.
From then on, Su Que continuously cultivated from morning till night on the deserted island.
Just as Su Que anticipated, five days later, when Su Jing saw that Su Que hadn’t returned ho, she grew deeply concerned.
She and Li Yujing searched everywhere for Su Que together.
During this ti, Su Que still went to Elder Qingxuan to obtain elixirs.
Hence, Li Xuanji wouldn’t connect the disappearance of Su Jing’s brother to the "Mister."
When Su Jing couldn’t find Su Que in the Capital City or its surroundings, she looked beyond its borders.
Because when Su Que left, he left almost no trace behind.
She thought Su Que might have returned to the Southern Domain.
Thus, she, along with Li Yujing and a skilled martial artist under Li Xuanji, headed toward the Southern Domain.
Two days after Su Jing’s departure, the Capital City experienced a phenonon where daylight dimd as night, with thunder flashing across the sky.
This ti, fourteen Arhats from Spirit Mountain had co.
The fourteen Arhats varied in height and bearing, but each bore a faint Buddha’s light.
They were tracking the four Arhats: Subduing Dragon, Subduing Tiger, Zuo Lu, and Tuo Ta.
Subduing Dragon and the other three Arhats had been trapped in this small world.
This led them to suspect that a powerful faction from the Upper Realm was lying in ambush against their Spirit Mountain in this small world.
