After some discussion.
Ultimately, the most credible guess is that perhaps, a Golden Core Cultivator can also steal the Origin.
This is at least much more reliable than thinking that even the Immortal City cannot detect hidden Nascent Soul Cultivators. Chapters fırst released on nοvelfire.net
They didn’t even dare imagine that if all Nascent Soul Powerhouses activated their permissions, yet the Immortal City still couldn’t detect the hidden Nascent Soul enemies, what that would imply.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
During this period, the late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator driven out of the Inner City only symbolically went out a few times together with other Nascent Soul Powerhouses.
It was claimed to be a large-scale extermination of the Demon Dao.
But with such a grand gesture, anyone who looked could tell it was perfunctory.
Then they shrank back into the Grand Array of the Outer City, perfecting it and no longer going out.
The two families in the Inner City didn’t dare push too hard, clearly worried that pushing them too far would cause trouble if they joined the Demon Dao.
Thus, the Inner City spared no effort in providing resources to strengthen the Grand Array of the Outer City, and promised that once the Immortal City evolved into a Spiritual Artifact, the Nascent Soul Clans outside would have the right to build cities.
This benefit is certainly not insignificant.
Clearly, unless absolutely necessary, joining the Nascent Soul Clan is much better than joining the Demon Dao.
Once the Immortal City stabilized, Small Knife unreservedly began extracting the Origin from the Earth Vein Extreme Point, quite arrogantly.
With such a large harvest, Small Knife couldn’t bear to part with it.
Even knowing that by doing so, the other party would surely notice.
So, while stealing with all his might, he also fed part of the Origin back to the Artifact Spirit to gain its goodwill.
This allowed him to observe closely, explore the World Master Realm, and as long as he bore no malice, he wouldn’t be rejected or resented.
This enabled Small Knife to closely observe the Artifact Spirit and the Immortal City.
Therefore, he could constantly monitor the Nascent Soul Cultivators in the city using the power of the Immortal City.
He could detect it immediately.
Sure enough, not long after, those Nascent Soul Cultivators again used the Immortal City’s permissions to find this thief of the Origin, Small Knife.
Small Knife decisively stopped immediately.
The other party was still unsatisfied, searching the entire Inner City.
Naturally, they found no one stealing, nor could they find the hidden Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Afterward, Small Knife didn’t steal for several days, and sighed.
Because the Wu and Feng Families began a thorough search of the Inner City, especially in the Core area.
The Dragon-breaking Stone was activated.
The secret chamber where Small Knife was training in seclusion finally got disturbed.
He had naturally prepared for this, with an expression of shock and anger on his face.
Anyone who tried hard to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage and got disturbed wouldn’t be in a good mood.
However, seeing the most powerful elders of the family present, Small Knife became panic-stricken, thinking something major had happened.
Then he was interrogated under the pressure of the Nascent Soul.
Fortunately, most of his consciousness was in the Personal Space in Heavenly Dao Mode, completely calm, which meant there were no flaws in his responses.
But the secluded training was forced to stop.
Coming out unwillingly, he later learned he wasn’t the unlucky one. Several who reached a critical point and had some chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage were disturbed, resulting in severe injuries from Qi deviation, losing the opportunity to breakthrough. Three even died.
Many tried seclusion, but it’s already good if one or two truly succeed.
Even so, this was what they all hoped for, and being ruined now naturally left them resentful.
Small Knife also expressed his anger, being dissatisfied with the family’s compensation.
Alone in the room, he couldn’t help but sigh, what a pity.
What a good opportunity it was to steal the Earth Vein Origin.
He felt somewhat reluctant, but after sensing, he was stunned.
Meanwhile, in the Tree-man Mini World, the battle was over, leaving only some guerrilla activities, which posed no real threat.
Everywhere was under construction.
The main focus was setting up base stations and forming a network across the world.
This had long been done in the Water Blue Star Mini World and Goblin Mini World.
The reason was that Small Knife didn’t want to rely too much on the system.
Additionally, with real-world technology support, and using Personal Space simulation, forming a Spiritual Energy technology network wasn’t difficult.
Everyone already had a Spiritual Ability Phone, becoming part of daily life, most thinking of it as releasing information.
Moreover, using Spiritual Ability Phones for communication was more convenient and user-friendly. Without improvements to the system, network phones had become the first choice for everyone.
Even the Water Blue Mini World and Goblin Mini World retained many areas not covered by the system.
Small Knife, feeling insecure, hoped not to put all eggs into one basket.
Although there was no danger at present, development had progressed.
Developing the Tree-man Mini World didn’t require Small Knife’s attention; templates already existed, and specialized teams handled the analysis.
He merely checked under Heavenly Dao Mode and approved the tasks for release.
So Small Knife focused entirely on stealing the Earth Vein Extreme Point Origin in the Four Celestial Great Worlds, a truly valuable item.
After obtaining it, the system hinted at various uses.
Currently, he couldn’t steal it anymore.
Leaving the Core of the Inner City, Small Knife naturally felt dissatisfied, but upon checking, he discovered a delightful surprise.
Here, suppressed by the Immortal Town, the Earth Vein Pole Core’s Origin was enlarged by an array, covering the entire Inner City.
Even so, being away from the core diluted it somewhat.
Originally, Small Knife couldn’t steal the Earth Vein Origin, but upon sensing, with the Artifact Spirit’s slight goodwill from before, it instinctively cooperated, and Small Knife sensed it.
It turned out, this Artifact Spirit instinctively awaited feeding.
By leveraging this active proximity sensation, he was unexpectedly able to steal the Earth Vein Origin, but naturally, the effect was much poorer, only one percent.
