Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2030 – Master Thief

Lu Yun was beginning to assimilate into this world and had identified numerous stop-gap measures to prevent the eyes of great dao from following him.

Sending the Tome of Life and Death off with someone else, for example.

The treasure was his nascent spirit and indestructible, it didn’t matter where he sent it to. Its presence often took the eyes of great dao on a wild goose chase. However, that would only work for the time being. If he wanted to permanently shake them off, he had to establish his dao heritage in this world and meld it into heaven and earth.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme had gone off to places unknown as a tiny Sacred Radiance tribe wouldn’t elicit any attention. Cultivation via ramming trees? The cultivators of this world didn’t understand that kind of cultivation method.

Other tribes that attacked during this time were defeated by Sacred Radiance experts newly come into their strength. The tribe was slowly being weaned off their reliance on the altar.

Lu Yun also continuously shoved spokes into their wheels, delaying altar repairs. He created other distractions at regular intervals, prompting incursions from other tribes. Thus, Sacred Radiance members developed at rapid speed through the course of unending battle.

Given the situation, Lu Yun was very comfortable leaving his primary body with the tribe. He split his thoughts into one thousand and eighty parts, taking up residence in each of the golden armored warriors.

Setting up the formation exhausted a great deal of his time and efforts, but he didn’t immediately destroy the city after preparations were complete. Instead, he started strolling through the city streets.

There were a plethora of unimaginable treasures in this world that Lu Yun had neither heard nor seen before. Cardinal Sacred Palace was the heartland of the five sacred palaces. More than fifty percent of the world’s treasures were stored here.

It would break his heart to destroy all of them. Therefore, he turned into a master thief and snuck in and out of all the treasuries and vaults within the city. To him, it was as if the city was made of paper. In this world of outdated combat arts and cultivation methods, its supplemental arts were also shockingly primitive. 

Thus, it was Lu Yun’s paradise and playground.

“This spirit herb bears a core essence close to the great dao. It even has a hint of the order of opposition in it! If it’s paired with spirit herbs of the five elements and refined into a Yin Yang Pill of the Five Elements, won’t that immediately bestow mortals with sufficient immortality to take the ascent protocol?”

Lu Yun looked at a nondescript spirit herb in his hand after his latest robbery. His mouth turned dry—what kind of concept was spontaneous bestowment of immortality??

The path of immortality was undertaken step by step. Even if mortals received a complete infusion of immortal force or became an immortal through a fortuitous find of a magical pill, their only gain would be unstable foundations. They would be decimated to dust when their tribulations arrived, erasing every trace of what’d once occurred.

Immortal dao wasn’t the same as any other great dao. One needed to coalesce power from heaven and earth into the body in order to cultivate immortal dao and condense a dao fruit from the cosmos. This was something that a transfusion of immortal force or legendary pill could not achieve.

Yet the Yin Yang Pill of the Five Elements was different. Mortals without any cultivation immediately forged their immortal dao fundamentals upon consumption of the pill. The power of yin, yang, and the five elements within the pill would evolve into heaven, earth, and the cosmos. They would coalesce into everything that was immortal dao.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from NovelFull.com.

Yin, yang, and the five elements were the fundamentals of the most primordial immortal dao. The five elements were found in abundance throughout nature, but treasures having to do with opposition such as yin and yang were extremely rare. Spirit herbs that contained the order of opposition were the rarest of the rare.

Refining the Yin Yang Pill of the Five Elements was only the most direct usage of this herb. If Lu Yun wanted to, he could use it to create the Pill of Heaven Ascension and become a grand supreme in the shortest amount of time possible!

He carefully put away the spirit herb and soundlessly slipped out of the vault.

Seeing as Cardinal Sacred City counted as a sect of the Cardinal Sacred Palace, Lu Yun felt no pressure whatsoever robbing the place blind. As things stood, they were enemies with each other.

The sacred palace had no use for these treasures other than wasting or spoiling them. They might as well give them to Lu Yun so the items could be properly used. He’d already identified a few people with great talent among Sacred Radiance and wanted to use these spirit herbs to forge their foundations.

“Although these items are treasures to me, they’re second-rate goods to this world. The real treasures should be on their powerhouses. Do I transact with them or… hmm? An auction house?”

One of his replicas had just noted a magnificent building not too far from him—a trading company’s auction house!

Lu Yun paused and broke out in chuckles. The civilization of the mortal world was constrained by the altars, but the civilization of cultivators hadn’t fallen behind the times at all. They possessed everything they should.

Rule of the five sacred palaces ensured that society remained organized and few disputes cropped up in this world. Of course, this culture was also a function of somewhat lazy cultivators who didn’t care about self-improvement.

“The entrance fee to the Ark Auction Hall is one thousand dao crystals.” An affable greeter very politely stopped Lu Yun just before he set foot through the front doors.

“One thousand dao crystals? That’s not expensive,” Lu Yun nodded. Compared to the three thousand needed to enter the city, one thousand wasn’t that much. Anyone who came here wouldn’t be short on crystals.

He casually tossed ten thousand crystals to the greeter, who caught them with a jump of surprise and showed the latest guest to a private booth. Paying ten thousand at once made this visitor an honored guest, but neither did Lu Yun feel any heartache about spending so much at once. He’d taken them from the city’s vaults in the first place.

He actually wanted to visit the Cardinal Sacred Palace proper and see what it held, but he was worried about disturbing the eye of great dao over it. Maybe there was another existence in the palace that he couldn’t afford to offend, one that would ruin everything he’d worked toward after paying a visit to the city.

Once Cardinal Sacred Palace went on the alert, it would be very hard for him to enter again. This world might be antiquated, but it wasn’t inhabited by idiots. He could come and go as he wished for the moment because they hadn’t anticipated that he would come.

The auction house wasn’t as bustling as he expected. In fact, it was eerily quiet. There weren’t that many people here and they were all at least peak grand supreme. There wasn’t a single grand supreme, much less a high supreme.

Wary, Lu Yun quietly sent all of the wealth on his body out a transportation door before sitting down in the booth with peace of mind. The auction had already begun; he’d joined halfway.

The building’s layout was highly similar to other auction houses he’d visited before. A young girl dressed in purple was the auctioneer.

“The next lot to be presented hails from eight hundred billion years ago, when a demon from the outside invaded our Three Thousand. The sacred supreme killed him and it is his personal sword up for sale.” She displayed a sword in front of the crowd.
