Although he really wanted to show these Immortals the might of the greatest godly thief in the world right then and there, Fang Yuan swallowed his impulsiveness and slipped out of the camp because of Immortal Annihilating Soul and the Bamboo that he had kidnapped.
“Hmm, my spiritual will is hidden within the ripples of the void and difficult to detect…”
Fang Yuan released his spiritual will and suddenly found some familiar auras.
He smiled and went to an immortal cave abode.
“Immortal Annihilating Soul should be staying here! There are restrictions here… but…”
Looking at the immortal cave abode in front of him, Fang Yuan flew forward and merged into the void.
“If it were another intruder, even someone with an Immortal cultivation base, it would be impossible for Immortal Annihilating Soul not to detect them!”
Fang Yuan paced with his hands behind his back as though he were inspecting his own territory. “But this is almost effortless for me!”
He could not fight head-on with an Immortal yet. His strongest attack might not even be able to kill one.
Therefore, he had already thought of the best way to bring down Immortals—the route of a godly thief!
He would use his unique abilities to bankrupt whichever Immortal was not pleasing to the eye!
Just like now.
“I can obtain your treasures no matter whether you hide them in your cave abode, storage bags, or carry them on your body!”
With a smile, Fang Yuan spread his spiritual will and found two dao artifacts and two insidious beads with terrifying soul power. He was somewhat moved by them.
“There are at least ten thousand souls in them, and the totems of many cultivators are also among them!” He glanced at the beads. “The souls of normal people are useless to me, but I can use the totems to repair the Ten Thousand Beast Banner!”
Not many would refine dao artifacts knowing that it was detrimental to themselves, even though they could at the peak of the Apotheosis realm.
Therefore, even most Immortals still used dao artifacts!
Only a few top Immortals could own one or two immortal treasures to show off to their peers.
Fang Yuan secretly placed space seals on the insidious beads without taking them immediately.
He went to another place.
It was a spooky room sealed from all sides, not letting any light in.
In the middle of the room, seven quaint bronze oil lamps arranged in a strange array flashed dimly.
A pale young man laid unconscious in the center of the array. It was the genius with the Torch Dragon materialization, Bamboo!
Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed.
The barbarian patriarchs had tried to send the core seeds away in advance, but they had not thought that this youth had such bad luck and went directly into a pit.
His small decoy team had also almost perished.
The barbarian Immortals might try to redeem him during the negotiations, but it was apparent that this Immortal Annihilating Soul was not going to agree.
“All right!” After some time, Immortal Annihilating Soul opened his eyes. “The soul of this body is almost completely worn away, leaving only the purest materialization and physical body! It’s the best time to possess it. It was worth my preparation work, haha…”
Soul? Possess? Fang Yuan’s eyes twinkled. It should be the Soul Possession Method! That’s right. According to the records in the Holy Mountain, this method is still being passed down in the Revenant Soul Sect!
This was the most suitable clone technique for him. Fang Yuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed.
Poof!
Jade slips appeared in the Pantheon Palace.
These are what Immortal Annihilating Soul had in his storage bag… It should have what I want?
Fang Yuan started searching, racing against time.
Immortal Annihilating Soul would know he had many jade slips missing if he looked into his storage bag after all.
None of these… After a short while, Fang Yuan gritted his teeth. I’ll steal again!
Swoosh!
Instantly, a few dozen jade boxes and loose sheets of paper appeared in the immortal abode.
Thousand Soul Cultivation Ghostly Method… No!
Revenant Soul Dossier… No!
This jade box is difficult to deal with. It even has a restriction. No matter. As long as it doesn’t counter the Illusion Realm, I can take it out, directly bypassing the box.
Fang Yuan’s eyes focused, and a large amount of magic power appeared. In that instant, a black jade slip flew out, and he scanned it with his spiritual will. It was the ‘Soul Possession Method’!
Did I just obtain the technique? Eh? There’s still a restriction on it!
Fang Yuan erased the small restriction with an ugly look.
The power of this restriction was so weak that he had not noticed it. Precisely because it was so weak, it could not self-destruct, but it could send warnings!
“What happened?” In the outside world, Immortal Annihilating Soul’s expression changed. “Something happened to the restriction on the jade slip of the possession method. Isn’t it in my storage bag?”
He instinctively knew something was wrong. He patted his storage bag, and his face turned green. “It’s… gone?”
“Not only the jade slip with the possession method but even my foundational cultivation technique? Where have they gone?”
Immortal Annihilating Soul stood up frantically, activated all the restrictions within the cave abode, and shouted loud and clear, “There’s a thief!!!”
His figure flashed and appeared on the roof of the cave abode with an ugly look. “Which expert… is playing this joke on me!”
He might be boiling with anger, but fear struck him even more.
To be able to take away his jade slip without him knowing, this person had to be either at the same level or higher. What if they did not want his stuff but his life instead?
The power and horror of the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws manifested at this very moment.
…
“Discovered!” After sensing Annihilating Soul’s wrath and position, he smiled.
Light flashed.
He instantly appeared in the secret room and grabbed Bamboo and the Seven Star Lamp Array beneath him. He also brought the insidious beads and the other dao artifacts that he had placed seals on together with him.
“Hmm? It’s him?” Venerable Annihilating Soul scanned with his spiritual will and found Fang Yuan. His face broke into one of disbelief. “H-how is this possible?”
The next moment.
Fang Yuan grinned at him and instantly disappeared.
“So it’s you, little thief!” Immortal Annihilating Soul’s fear disappeared once he knew the thief was merely at Primordial Core. Only anger remained. His thunderous voice rang. “You! I will turn you into dust!”
However, he could not find Fang Yuan with his spiritual will at all.
“Immortal Annihilating Soul, what are you so angry about?”
“What happened?”
“Junior Brother!”
The Immortals that were originally in discussion flew into the air, and Immortal Myriad Soul asked in astonishment, “What happened?”
“T-thief!” Venerable Annihilating Soul turned red before finally being able to squeeze a sentence out. “A thief snuck into my cave abode and stole my spirit beads and my dao artifacts!”
“Thief? Stole?”
Many Immortals looked at each other, stupefied. “Didn’t you place a restriction on your cave abode? Besides… don’t all of us carry our important things on us? Unless it was the power of the Grand Unity realm! But this kind of existence could just obtain it openly, so why… steal?”
“Damn it! I don’t know what’s going on either!” Immortal Annihilating Soul felt like he was going to go crazy. “It wasn’t a Grand Unity Almighty but… a Golden Core stage thief!”
“Golden Core?” Even Immortal Myriad Soul seemed baffled and stepped forward with concern. “Junior Brother… are you suffering from cultivation deviation and starting to have hallucinations?”
“I’m not crazy. It was really a barbarian Golden Core thief!” Looking at the expressions of the other Immortals, Immortal Annihilating Soul felt even more aggrieved.
“Haha. This is truly the greatest joke!”
“Cultivating until now, I’ve never heard of something like this… A Golden Core cultivator stealing from an Immortal?”
…
The Orthodox Dao Immortals were having a field day at this joke.
Only Kun Lunzi exchanged glances with a few others. “This Immortal Annihilating Soul doesn’t seem to be suffering from cultivation deviation, nor does he look like he is under some illusion.”
“Fellow Daoist Annihilating Soul, don’t worry. This humble Daoist will immediately order a lockdown of the entire camp and search one by one! I will definitely not allow that… little thief to escape!” Kun Lunzi guaranteed and passed down his order. “Activate all arrays! Everyone, return to your camps and don’t make any big movements!”
“Yes, we’ll catch that Golden Core thief and bring him to you!” the other Orthodox Dao Immortals said in jest, obviously still in disbelief.
But the next moment, they could no longer laugh.
“Hehe… You want to find me, Situ Zhaixing, the best godly thief in the world? Dream on!” A teasing voice came from the void.
“There!”
The next instant, several attacks landed on the source of the voice, accompanied by the joint blockade of the surrounding Immortals.
They were immediately disappointed.
That voice still came from all around them. “Haha… How would I dare to enter the Immortals’ camp if I didn’t have something up my sleeve?”
“Situ Zhaixing?!” Kun Lunzi and Immortal Myriad Soul looked at each other and shook their heads slowly. They had never heard of this name.
They turned livid the next moment. “Not good!”
“My storage bag!”
“Heavens, my thousand-year Blood Red Ginseng is gone!”
“How dare you steal my Phoenix Blood Tear Stone, you little thief!”
“My dao artifacts…”
Immortals shouted in succession.
“This Situ Zhaixing…” Kun Lunzi was overwhelmed with shock. “He can steal stuff from our storage bags directly?”
Of course, just how fast was the thought process of an Immortal? They immediately thought of a solution. “Quickly send your spiritual will into your storage bag. Chop his hand off if he dares to enter!”
Generally, Immortals would not have their eyes on their storage bag all the time, at most checking it sporadically, leaving Fang Yuan a gap to sneak in.
But now, they were going all out, spreading their spiritual will on every item and waiting for Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan could still get in, but that moment would be enough to become his fatal flaw!
