Chapter 528: Chapter 298: Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, Level Up!

Su Que passed through the thick clouds, his flowing long hair and black martial attire still carrying traces of cloud mist.

The Fourteen Arhats followed closely behind.

Bright light wheels inscribed with Sanskrit began to appear around Su Que once again.

With his body as the axis, Su Que wielded the "Breaking the Red Dust" to draw arcs in the air.

Jet-black Sword Qi sprayed out from his blade, striking the light wheels.

The light wheels made a faint sound, disintegrating into countless specks of light that scattered like sand in the sky.

After shattering the light wheels, Su Que glanced in all directions.

This was the Upper Realm.

Primarily composed of clouds, and above the clouds were lands like floating islands.

Some floating islands were vast in size, while others were smaller in area.

According to the memory he acquired from an Upper Realm cultivator, the lands in the Upper Realm suitable for cultivators to live and cultivate were partly occupied by Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court.

Another portion was contested by Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court.

This region was referred to as the "Unclaimed Land."

In the contest between Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court, this region gained freedom and became a gathering place for many Evil Cults, Demon Sects, and those who had smuggled their way here.

From the memory of the Arhat, Su Que learned that Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court called those who forcibly broke through barriers to ascend and refused to join them "smugglers."

Emperor Jing of Liang was also considered a "smuggler"; upon reaching the "Unclaimed Land," he joined a faction known as the "Celestial Sect."

Su Que planned to enter this "Unclaimed Land."

He sought to inquire about any Merging Dao Techniques with great side effects and some higher-level Evil Techniques and magic.

Following the memory of the Upper Realm cultivator, Su Que flew toward a part of the Unclaimed Land.

As long as he reached the "Unclaimed Land," the actions of the Fourteen Arhats would be greatly restricted, causing them to lose his trail.

Su Que swung his blade quickly, shattering several more light wheels, then focused his spirit into his body and flew toward the "Unclaimed Land."

Meanwhile, he performed the Circulation of the Six Void Skill and surrounded himself with the Circulating Eight Forces, abruptly increasing his flying speed.

The Fourteen Arhats saw Su Que accelerate, and while still manifesting light wheels to block him, they also formed an array.

The Buddha’s Light from the Fourteen Arhats interconnected, enveloping them as one entity.

A force emerged from within them, propelling them forward, increasing their flying speed.

Although Su Que didn’t look back, he extended his spirit and sensed the sudden acceleration of the Arhats behind him.

He intended to use the Demon Saber and strike backward to slow the Fourteen Arhats.

But in the next moment, he suddenly felt a powerful presence rushing toward him from the right.

He turned to look.

On the right, golden light flickered.

This light was unlike Buddha’s Light and seemed more like the light of the Golden Armor on celestial soldiers.

Buddha’s Light leaned more toward gold, whereas the golden armor’s light leaned toward the light of the sun.

Soon after, he saw what the golden light was.

A squad of about a hundred celestial soldiers, each wielding spears or axes and riding celestial horses that tread the clouds, rushed in his direction.

"Ascended cultivators from the Lower Realm, join our Celestial Court!"

The leading celestial soldier called out, his voice like thunder.

These celestial soldiers noticed the commotion here and came over.

Seeing Su Que being pursued by the Spirit Mountain Arhats, they wanted to intervene.

Their main goal was to prevent Spirit Mountain Arhats from bringing another cultivator to Spirit Mountain.

If possible, they also wanted to recruit Su Que into the Celestial Court.

Su Que paid no heed to these celestial soldiers and continued flying toward the "Unclaimed Land."

The celestial soldiers didn’t pursue Su Que but instead headed toward the Fourteen Arhats.

The Fourteen Arhats had to give up chasing Su Que and engaged in battle with over a hundred celestial soldiers.

Suddenly, Buddha Seal Techniques erupted from the Fourteen Arhats, striking at the celestial soldiers.

The celestial soldiers skilled in magic cast Five Elements Skills, while those adept at physical combat wielded blades and spears, clashing with the Fourteen Arhats.

For a time, the sounds of Qi Force and mana blasting echoed endlessly.

Su Que glanced back briefly, then turned away, flying toward the "Unclaimed Land."

...

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Que landed on a vast and boundless land.

He had entered the realm of the "Unclaimed Land."

However, the spiritual energy here was relatively thin, so cultivators hadn’t established their cultivation sites here.

Su Que slipped into a forest.

Dense fog floated within the forest.

Su Que knew this fog was spiritual energy.

The trees, nourished by spiritual energy, grew exceptionally large.

The leaves emitted a faint glow.

In the forest, Su Que found a pool.

The pool was blue, like a giant sapphire.

The water was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting Su Que’s image.

Though he wore a mask, others didn’t know his appearance.

Yet the mask had become his identity.

Moreover, people from both Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court had seen him wearing the mask.

Although the forces of Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court couldn’t reach the "Unclaimed Land."

If Spirit Mountain’s divine beings or the Celestial Court’s soldiers came seeking people in the "Unclaimed Land,"

those loose cultivators, demon immortals, demon cultivators, and so on wouldn’t dare stop them.

So, when he went to the gathering places of cultivators in the "Unclaimed Land," he needed to change his attire and alter his appearance.

He had seen a "Disguise Skill" in the Imperial Palace Armory.

Recalling the technique, he removed the mask, revealing a masculine and handsome face.
