The Painting of the Nine Immortals was beautiful and the scenery was pleasant.
Liao Cang Qiong stood with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of praise.
The other immortals reacted the same way.
"We all saw what you did inside the Hidden Territory. Not bad."
"That's right. If it was me, I wouldn't have done better than you. I might have even done worse than you."
"Haha, you didn't embarrass us."
The immortals all chimed in. Everyone could hear the praise and satisfaction in their voices.
"You are flattering me."
Ling Xian softly grinned and shifted his gaze towards the emotionless thief, "I wonder what you think?"
"Not bad." The thief said softly.
"Not bad …"
Ling Xian frowned. Though the thief's evaluation meant he passed the test, he was still a few levels away from being satisfied.
This meant he could not acquire all of the true inheritances.
Ling Xian softly sighed, "It looks like I cannot acquire all of the inheritances."
"No, you can." The thief's expression was calm.
"I can acquire all of the inheritances?" Ling Xian was a little startled. Then, he smiled.
It was obvious that the thief was very satisfied with him. It was just that he didn't show it. Or else he wouldn't have said he could acquire all of the inheritances.
"Haha, he is just being stubborn. The reality is, he is so happy on the inside." Liao Cang Qiong laughed brightly.
Ling Xian was the descendant he chose. For the ancestor to approve of Ling Xian, of course he was proud.
"I'm not that happy."
The thief smiled faintly, "But, his performance was not bad."
"I have something I don't understand. Can you explain it to me?" Ling Xian hesitated.
"Speak." The thief nodded.
"Immortal, if I may ask, does the world inside the Hidden Territory really exist?" Ling Xian's eyes were deep. The reason why he asked this was because he felt like a world like that really did exist.
It was far too real. The unique customs, the seamless logic … no matter how skilled the thief was, there was no way he could do it perfectly.
The only explanation was that the world inside the Hidden Territory was real.
Plus, the Steps of the Wind, Ling Xian concluded that the thief was most likely Lian Yun's apprentice. Or in other words, the thief was being used by Lian Yun.
"It does exist, and it is exactly as you expected."
The Thief Immortal stared at Ling Xian, "What you experienced in the Hidden Territory is what I experienced."
"As expected …"
Ling Xian's gaze froze. Though he had predicted this, when the Immortal Thief admitted it himself, he was still a little shocked.
At the same time, he was also impressed.
Not everyone could rise from the bottom. For the Thief Immortal to rise from such a low level world and finally reach the peak, it was truly extraordinary.
"I'm an orphan. I've been living on the streets since I was young, begging for a living."
"If I hadn't met Lian Yun, I would have died long ago."
"He treated me extremely well and devoted himself to teaching me martial arts. I almost thought that I was his long-lost son."
The Thief Immortal reminisced and said, "However, everything changed when I went to the Lin Mansion to steal treasures and met Lin Yannan."
"At that moment, I realized that I was just a chess piece to him."
"I'm not as smart as you. You know how to kill with a borrowed knife. I was captured by Lin Yannan. The reason why I didn't die was because of Lin Yue, the woman in white."
"She and I were in love. Therefore, Lin Yannan spared my life."
"What happened next was the same as you. Lin Yannan thought that Lian Yun would come to kill me. Therefore, he used me as bait and set up a trap."
Pausing, the Thief Immortal continued, "I personally watched Lian Yun die before me. At that moment, I was neither happy nor sad."
"Then, I married Yue Er and I began to cultivate that technique."
"A hundred years later, Yue Er passed away. I broke through the void and arrived in the Taoism community."
The Thief Immortal softly sighed, "There's no need to tell me what happened next. Do you have any more questions?"
"No." Ling Xian sighed. He knew that the Thief Immortal must have been in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
To be betrayed by one's only family, anyone would go crazy over that feeling.
The reason why Ling Xian was calm was because one, he knew it was an illusion. Two, he was experienced and knew that Lian Yun had ulterior motives.
The Thief Immortal, on the other hand, was merely a 12 year old young man. Naturally, he couldn't see through Lian Yun's disguise and treated him like family.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I am very satisfied with your performance. Therefore, you can learn everything I know." The Thief Immortal collected his emotions and returned to his normal calmness.
"Thank you, Immortal." Ling Xian beamed.
In terms of capabilities, the Thief Immortal was not as good as the Immortal King. But in terms of inheritance, he was not weaker than the Immortal King.
He was known as the ancestor of the Thief Sect. His skills would surely shock the world and be unparalleled!
"I have three techniques. The first is the Limitless Stride."
"This technique was born from the Steps of the Wind and is based on the concept of limitless stride."
"When one cultivates it to the highest level, they can ignore all arrays and prohibition spells."
"You can also ignore the barriers between worlds. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough capabilities."
The Thief Immortal spoke softly. These few words ignited Ling Xian's passion.
All because the Limitless Stride was far too miraculous. It could pass through all arrays and even barriers between worlds. This was heaven-defying!
If he could cultivate this technique to the highest level, Ling Xian could go anywhere in the world. Why wouldn't his heart be filled with passion?
"The Limitless Stride is a technique that all descendants of the Thief Sect have to learn. Every single one of my inheritances has recorded this technique."
"However, I did not leave behind the second technique."
"This technique is called the Heaven Stealing Palm. It was created by me based on the Void Hand. It has the ability to steal the sky and change the sun."
"It has two types of transformations. The first is the suction force, which is silent and undetectable. It can steal anything from a person's body without them noticing."
"The second is the repulsion force. But it is not a simple repulsion force. It condenses into one point and its power is shocking. It does not pale next to the Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists."
The Thief Immortal continued to speak, making Ling Xian's heart waver.
He didn't know how powerful the Heaven Stealing Palm was, but the fact that it did not pale next to the Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists was enough to explain a lot.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this technique was an undefeatable offensive technique!
"You are being too kind. Your Heaven Stealing Palm is stronger than my Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists." The Untainted's lips parted.
"You are the one being kind. If we were to fight to the death, I would not be able to defeat you." The Untainted smiled.
"Everyone has their own specialties. If you were the Immortal of Warrior, I might not be able to defeat you." The Untainted grinned.
"Alright, you two can stop flattering each other. You are of the same level and your techniques are similar."
Fa Wu Liang softly grinned and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "The Heaven Stealing Palm is the best technique of the Immortal of Thief. You have to learn it well."
"I understand." Ling Xian nodded. His eyes flashed with heat.
The Heaven Stealer Hand had two transformations. Not to mention its terrifying attack power, just the fact that it could steal anything from a person without them noticing was enough to excite him.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that as long as it wasn't someone with extremely sensitive senses, he could steal anything he wanted!
When Ling Xian thought about the third technique, his gaze turned even more heated.
