“What’s happening? Why are there so many Immortal Patriarchs in the sky?”
“Is an enemy attacking?”
“I heard an arrogant voice just now, claiming that he is the best godly thief in the world, Situ Zhaixing?”
Many cultivators looked up, their expressions solemn and envious.
What kind of existence could make such a commotion with the Immortals?
However, this was not their glory, and they could only obediently return to their camps and strengthen the camp’s arrays.
“I can’t find him!”
“Spiritual will isn’t useful either!”
“The blood-seeking method has no effect!”
“Damn. The imprints on my dao artifacts have been erased. How is he so fast?”
…
In the air, the Immortals displayed their various methods, but nothing worked.
They might have restrictions on their dao artifacts and treasures, but they could not withstand the suppression from Fang Yuan’s Pantheon Palace.
With Gold Ingot making a move and his enhanced spiritual will through the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique, it was trivial for him to break the restrictions on the dao artifacts and treasures.
This was also why he did not snatch the immortal artifacts. After all, they were connected to the Immortals through their hearts, and it was too troublesome for him to remove the imprints on them.
Most importantly, the Pantheon Palace was an immortal artifact as well. It might not be able to completely suppress them and possibly leave behind future trouble.
“The rewards might be great if I were to grab their storage bags, but what if they hid something inside, like some form of positioning or maybe just having them explode directly. I’d have a big problem then…”
Fang Yuan was very cautious, and his life was his priority.
He knew from the guarded reactions of the Immortals that he could play with them for quite some time.
He sneered and teleported to a cave abode below.
…
“Fellow Daoists, what are you missing?” Kun Lunzi asked after the group of Immortals hovered in the air for a while.
“How dare that little thief behave so wildly with us around?”
“Damn that little thief, how dare he just leave.”
They scolded and yelled while engraving the name Situ Zhaixing into their hearts.
Although he was merely at Golden Core, the cultivation level of an ant, his stealing technique was truly startling.
They would have to avoid him before they developed a counter.
Otherwise, even if he could not kill them, having him stare at them all day or possibly stealing the secrets of their sects would be very troublesome.
“Sh*t! My pill furnace!”
“The dao artifacts I kept in my cave abode!”
Suddenly, the faces of these Immortals changed. “Damn you, Situ Zhaixing. Do you still have human nature?!”
They kept their most important possessions on themselves.
But Fang Yuan was not satisfied with stealing their precious treasures. He even went to their cave abodes to sweep them clean, practically getting everything in one go!
“Haha… The world is vast. I, Situ Zhaixing, will go wherever I want and won’t be frightened by your threats!” Fang Yuan’s merry voice came.
“Damn this thief!” Immortal Annihilating Soul was at his wits’ end. “What Situ Zhaixing, you’re clearly a barbarian! Aren’t you afraid we’ll destroy the barbarians?”
“Up to you!” Fang Yuan answered honestly.
His karma with the barbarians was mostly dealt with, so he truly did not care much. He said with a strange smile, “Go ahead if you’re not afraid of that demon head under the Holy Mountain!”
Immortal Annihilating Soul froze.
Kun Lunzi shook his head slowly. Now that the leaders of both sides had made life oaths when they signed the agreement, even if they were no longer wary of the threat of that demon head, they had to bear in mind the power of the oath.
In addition, Fang Yuan’s clearly indifferent attitude made them have more guesses. “Situ Zhaixing could be his real name. Is he a spy that snuck in among the barbarians? Or is he a barbarian who chose a random outside name?”
“Haha… Thank you all for the treasures. I’ll be going now!”

Fang Yuan’s voice grew more and more distant. He was really leaving this time.
But these Immortals did not believe him. They flew into their cave abodes and shifted all their valuables into their storage bags. Their mood became better as they put their spiritual will constantly on guard. Nonetheless, it did not change the fact that their hearts were bleeding.
Their losses were enormous.
They had basically lost all of their gains from their invasion on the barbarians, even making a loss!
“Everyone!” Kun Lunzi exchanged glances with Immortal Myriad Soul.
It was unbecoming for Immortals to be afraid of a mere thief.
They could only call all the Immortals to the main camp and have everyone reestablish the restrictions even though they knew it was of little use.
The Immortals finally became slightly calmer. “Let’s discuss it. What exactly is going on? Immortal Annihilating Soul… you go first!”
“The first time I met this Situ Zhaixing was when I was hunting down the seed teams of the barbarians…” Immortal Annihilating Soul paused before deciding to share the remaining information. “He was only at the Materialization realm then!”
“Perhaps Materialization or Golden Core is just a cover!” Kun Lunzi took the lead to express his opinion.
“That’s right. He might have Immortal or even Grand Unity cultivation but deliberately hid it to make fun of us!”
Immortals had their own pride. How could they easily concede defeat to someone at the Golden Core stage? The other Immortals agreed immediately.
Their thoughts concurred as well.
Only Venerable Annihilating Soul had had actual contact with Fang Yuan and vaguely knew something. Even so, it was difficult for him to believe.
How many treasures and peerless magical powers must someone at Golden Core have to mess with a bunch of Immortal Patriarchs?
Kun Lunzi glanced at Immortal Annihilating Soul and suggested, “Since Immortal Annihilating Soul says that he has seen him before, then this humble Daoist will personally write a letter to question the Barbarian Ancestral Court!”
Fang Yuan’s plan was to go through the Death Plains and head to the outside world. Even if they were to ransack the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Immortals would not be able to find him.
“The most important point is still his magical power. It’s simply too strange!” Immortal Myriad Soul said slowly, “Being able to grab things directly from storage bags is truly difficult to defend against! Wouldn’t all the resources of the cultivation world go to him if we leave him be?”
“This… is definitely possible. I think we should report to the Holy Lands!” Shan Shuizi said. “My sect hasn’t been around for long, but the Holy Land sects have been around since time immemorial. They survived all the Demonic Tribulations without losing their strength. There is more than one Grand Unity Almighty, so perhaps someone has seen this magical power before?”
“I think… it might be a primordial treasure!” Another Immortal chipped in. “I don’t believe it’s possible to cultivate such magical powers… It’s too heaven-defying!”
They were all anxious.
“Ahem… Actually, it’s not entirely unimaginable!” Kun Lunzi coughed. “Why did Situ Zhaixing steal our treasures one by one without touching our immortal artifacts or storage bags? This humble Daoist believes we can think from this perspective!”
“Your words are logical. His method might be strange, but there are limits to it!”
The other Immortals were not fools, and their eyes sparkled with excitement after thinking about it.
“The most important thing is not only can this Situ Zhaixing steal things from us, but he can also hide his body. We Immortals didn’t even notice him, and he could even enter the array without a care for the restrictions. This is the most worrying part…” Kun Lunzi frowned and smiled bitterly. “He claims to be the best godly thief in the world. I didn’t think much of it before, but now I think he really deserves the title!”
“The arrays were arranged hurriedly and might have some flaws. I don’t believe he can do anything to our Mountain Guarding Array!” A demon Immortal stood out, his voice sharp.
However, anyone could see that he was acting fierce but feeling weak inside.
This meant that he was really frightened.
“Let’s… quickly retreat!”
“After all, we’ve already established the agreement. Our sects are important…”
Under the threat of Godly Thief Fang Yuan, these sects reached a consensus in no time. After leaving only some defending troops, most of them returned to their sects, in fear that this thief would come.
This was the reality of this world. A single entity could turn tides in the world!
Although Fang Yuan was not very powerful at this time, his outstanding means were able to make the coalition forces retreat early and change the regional situation.
…
“Gold Ingot, how is the harvest this time?”
Within the Pantheon Palace, Fang Yuan, self-proclaimed godly thief, started to go through his loot.
“There are 19 dao artifacts, 47 jade slips, 305 bottles of pills and medicines, 9,000 high-grade spirit stones, 10 top-grade spirit stones, several precious ores and materials… I’ve checked them thoroughly. There’s nothing hidden on them.” Gold Ingot’s voice sounded excited as well. “Your loot this time is almost half of what Old Master had!”
“No man is rich without a windfall, and no horse is fat without evening grass….” Fang Yuan nearly burst out laughing. “Unfortunately… this is the only time!”
The Illusion Realm’s nomological laws might seem invincible, but there might be some simple ways to defend against it if you were to study it carefully.
Given the means of communications between Immortals, the name Situ Zhaixing might already be secretly circulating within the Immortal circles, and they would obviously be more guarded against it!
“Also, the Holy Lands have a long history. There might be one or two geniuses who comprehended the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws and left records…”
Fang Yuan reminded himself that this world was vast and had countless powerful people. It was too early to be arrogant just because he had comprehended a teleportation magical power.
“Therefore, I have to increase my trump cards and life-saving means…”
He went to a side hall and looked at Bamboo within the Seven Star Lamps with a complex look. “Another pitiful man!”
“That Immortal obviously wanted to possess him. Not only did he spend all his efforts to make him lose his soul, but he even nourished his body and totem with some strange array and elixir…” Gold Ingot’s voice came. “This shell is optimal for possession now!”
