Chapter 71 Celestial Thief Technique Part-2

Wang Chen collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air as he watched Yue Jang disappear from his sight.

"My Qi is almost depleted," he said with a bitter smile. Each thunderbolt blade strike had drained his Qi reserves at an alarming rate. If he hadn't had a greater Qi reserve compared to other Innate Realm Cultivators, he would have been drained completely.

But it had been worth it. Without the Thunderbolt Blade technique, he wouldn't have stood a chance against Yue Jang. Wang Chen now realized that the difference between an Innate Realm Cultivator and a Core Formation Realm Cultivator was like the difference between heaven and earth.

After taking a moment to recover, Wang Chen retrieved Yue Jang's storage bag and opened it. To his amazement, he discovered a plethora of rare items, including all of Yue Jang's opportunities except for the elusive purple soul stone.

"Why haven't I received any Destiny Points, System? I looted all of Yue Jang's opportunities from this storage bag," Wang Chen inquired.

[Ding! Host can only receive Destiny Points if they intercept the opportunities before others. If the host loots after someone else has already obtained the opportunity, then no Destiny Points will be awarded.]

"That's cheating! I looted both Yue Jang's and Su Chen's opportunities, leaving them at a loss while I've profited. I still deserve Destiny Points," Wang Chen argued, growing frustrated with the System's response.

[Are you questioning the judgment of the System?]

"What judgment? You're clearly cheating me!" Wang Chen retorted.

[Remember, without me, you're nothing more than trash. Only the strong have the power to determine what is right and wrong.]

Feeling the System's disgust towards him, Wang Chen knew he couldn't argue any further.

[There is still the inheritance opportunity of Yue Jang, and he hasn't obtained it yet. Hurry up and loot it before he returns with reinforcements and claims it for himself.]

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen quickly stood up and hurried towards the room where the inheritance was kept. He knew that time was of the essence and that he had to act fast if he wanted to seize the opportunity before it was too late.

Flashback

He remembered that after he looted Su Chen and came to the top of the ancient ruins, he didn't find anyone there, so he started searching. Soon, he heard a loud boom and decided to investigate. He eventually stumbled upon a place where Yideng was helping Yue Jang break a formation. Suddenly, an attack was launched at Yue Jang, but Yideng managed to save him just in time. However, after the attack, Yideng's figure became blurry and soon disappeared from sight.

Wang Chen waited until he was certain that Yideng was gone.

He saw that Yue Jang sat on the ground for a few moments before standing up and cursing. At that moment, Wang Chen slowly made his way towards Yue Jang, who had just entered the room. He hid at the entrance of the room and used the Celestial Thief Technique to avoid detection. Wang Chen observed as Yue Jang was about to pick up the storage ring and the book on the stone tablet.

Seeing this, Wang Chen couldn't wait for Yue Jang to get the inheritance. He took out his bow and shot a poisoned-tipped arrow at Yue Jang's back. The attack caught Yue Jang off-guard, and he became immobilized. Seizing the opportunity, Wang Chen attacked with the Thunderbolt blade sword. The Thunderbolt blade slash left Yue Jang critically injured on his back, and from that point on, Wang Chen was able to fight Yue Jang on even ground.

Flashback ends

"Let me see what's in this book," muttered Wang Chen as he picked it up. The book had a royal blue cover with intricate carvings on it.

"Huh?" Wang Chen tried to open the book, but it wouldn't budge. He put more strength into it, but it still wouldn't open.

He tried various methods, but the book remained sealed shut. Then a thought struck him, and he activated his Celestial Thief Technique, channeling some Qi into the book.

Suddenly, the book glowed, and it slipped from Wang Chen's grasp, floating in mid-air. The book opened, and the pages began turning rapidly.

The words from the book glowed in royal blue color, and all the characters shot towards the space between Wang Chen's eyebrows.

As the words from the book shot towards Wang Chen's forehead, he felt an intense pressure building in his head. The glowing letters seemed to burn into his skin as he struggled to keep his balance. Finally, the surge of information subsided, and Wang Chen collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

He lay there for a few moments, trying to catch his breath, before slowly getting up and dusting himself off. As he looked around the room, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement at the new possibilities that had just opened up to him.

"Celestial Thief Technique Part-2," he muttered to himself, a wide smile spreading across his face.

After carefully digesting the information, Wang Chen realized that the Celestial Thief Technique Part-2 was an independent technique that could be practiced without needing the Part-1. However, he was already familiar with the power of the Part-1 and knew how formidable it was. The Part-2 was even more awe-inspiring, as it allowed him not only to devour others but also absorb their souls and memories. This was just one of the major benefits, as there were many others.

One of the most impressive benefits was that Wang Chen could now hide his cultivation base from even more powerful cultivators. Previously, he could hide his cultivation base from those in the three major realms, but now he could conceal himself from those in the five major realms. This was a tremendous advantage, as hiding one's cultivation base from someone with a higher cultivation base was a valuable tool.

If a technique that allowed for such concealment were to become widely known, it would likely spark a bloody war over its possession. The Celestial Thief Technique Part-2 was not only a concealment technique, but it was also a cultivation technique. Wang Chen was certain that its grade surpassed Heaven Grade Technique and could be called a Heaven-Defying Technique.

Wang Chen's excitement was quickly tempered by a thought: how could such a powerful technique be so readily available? He knew that the Celestial Thief Technique Part-2 required Chaos Qi or Chaos strands to function.

Chaos Qi was a rare and valuable substance, one of the fundamental components of the universe. It was not something that could be easily found, as it existed only in specific places. Even if one were fortunate enough to locate a source of Chaos Qi, the real challenge lay in the refining process.

Refining Chaos Qi was an incredibly painful and difficult process that required immense amounts of energy and focus. Many who attempted it failed, driven to madness by the overwhelming pain of the process. But for those who could endure the pain and successfully refine Chaos Qi, the rewards were beyond measure.

Wang Chen shook his head to clear his thoughts and looked at the ashes of the book, which had burned and turned to ash after providing him with information.

"I hope it's inside the storage ring." Wang Chen said, talking to himself.

As Wang Chen checked the content inside the storage ring there was a disbelief expression on his face and saliva dripping from his mouth.

"I'm rich and probably hit the jackpot." Wang spoke as he try to wipe the saliva that was dripping out from his mouth.

Inside the storage ring were around 200 Chaos strands which were enough for him to use for 20 months as according to the second part of Celestial Thief Technique one can use 10 Chaos strands a month.

"Now I should refine the first ten Chaos strands...." Wang Chen said as he set down on the ground ina Lotus postion and took out Chaos strands.

He moved one chaos strand towards his dantian slowly with help of Qi.

As soon soon as the chaos strand entered the dantian, it went into turmoil. Wang Chen's blood started boiling his whole body started swelling and he felt like his entire body was tearing apart as his cells , skin and bones were cracking each second and rebuilding the other second.

Wang Chen's face flushed red his eyes became red the aura around him stated vibrating in a chaotic rhythm, Wang Chen experiencing the excruciating pain held back from roaring outloud and started running the Celestial Thief Technique Part-2 , as soon as he run the cultivation technique, his body size returned to normal and the Chaos strand moved from his dantian to his body and changes started happening in Wang Chen's body.
