All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Guided by the Heavenly Demon, once successful, one will become a Thief of Fortune Immortal, or even surpass Immortals, becoming an unparalleled Demon God!"

"Just how powerful must this being be?"

"If a similar being were to emerge from here, wouldn't we all be wiped out?"

Zhou Hai was horrified. When he looked at the twenty-odd people in front of him again, a thousand thoughts of killing arose in his mind in an instant.

He absolutely could not allow such a powerful demon to exist, or he would die a terrible death.

"Is there any way to save them?"

Zhou Hai ultimately did not act directly, but instead pressed for answers.

"Yes, but it cannot be resolved by ordinary methods. For example, the primordial energy controlled by the Confucian school is completely ineffective against such demonic guidance!"

"The only way to save them is to make them skip the guidance of the Heavenly Demon and willingly become demons. That way, even if the guidance of the Heavenly Demon fails, they will still be thieves of destiny and will not be harmed by the power of destiny theft!"

"In addition, we can rely on the complete innate Qi to destroy the power of stealing luck within their bodies!"

"The host now has two choices. First, guide them into demonic possession and then kill them. Second, extract the complete innate Qi from the host's body, and the system is willing to refine it into an innate supreme treasure that can restrain all those who steal fortune, including fortune-stealing immortals!"

The system stated the facts truthfully.

"Using primordial energy to forge a supreme innate treasure, even capable of killing a Fortune Thief Immortal?"

"Wouldn't I be invincible if I encountered thieves again in the future?"

"Moreover, once this innate treasure is completed, can I use it to attain enlightenment, break through the Great Emperor realm, and directly become an immortal?"

Zhou Hai's eyes lit up; this was incredibly good news for him.

After all, the so-called innate Qi of the system is not the same thing as the Qi of his Confucian school.

Although everyone is born with innate vital energy, it is so scarce that it is more accurate to call it force rather than vital energy.

Only Confucianism would cultivate it as qi, calling it the Confucian noble qi.

The innate Qi mentioned by the system is actually the complete innate Qi that Chen Bei was rewarded with after he obtained it.

It is a primordial object that existed at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth and the universe. It can make people become immortals, so its power is unimaginable.

"Just a reminder to the host, this refers to restraint, not suppression!"

"The host doesn't actually think that a Foundation Establishment cultivator can suppress the righteous energy of Confucianism and kill the host, does he?"

"The innate Qi and the power of stolen fortune are like Yin and Yang, which are opposites, mutually generating and mutually restraining."

"A supreme treasure crafted from innate Qi can suppress all demonic nature and demonic seeds, but whether it can kill the thief depends on the host's own cultivation level."

"As for the effects of innate treasures on their hosts, they can prevent these people from becoming demonic right now. Or, during battle, they can suppress a portion of the Fortune-Stealing Demon's combat power. Furthermore, after slaying the Fortune-Stealing Demon, it can completely eliminate any chance of the Fortune-Stealing Demon's resurrection!"

"The Demon of Thieves is a manifestation of human emotions and desires. From the moment it becomes a demon, it possesses thirteen lives. One thought can extinguish it, another can give it life. This is precisely why Venerable Baolian and Supreme Qingyan were able to be resurrected. Even self-destruction would not have been enough!"

"And the innate treasure is just the right thing to sever all of this."

"As for becoming an immortal through a supreme innate treasure, I advise you to abandon that idea!"

"The primordial energy is a power free from desires and wants. By merging it into oneself, one can sever the seven emotions and six desires and achieve the supreme state of detachment from emotions!"

"But once refined into a supreme treasure, it becomes nothing more than a supreme treasure, forever losing the chance to successfully ascend to immortality. To obtain it again is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Therefore, please consider carefully whether or not to refine it."

The system reminded him again, seemingly to dampen Zhou Hai's hopes, and poured cold water on his dreams.

"Damn it, a chance to become an immortal is exchanged for this useless thing?"

"Wait, you said the Thief of Fortune has ten lives, doesn't that mean that the Talisman Puppet Celestial Venerable I destroyed before, and the many Venerables I killed in the Starry Sky Battle, aren't completely dead yet?"

Zhou Hai let out a soft cry, feeling a bit numb all over.

When the system finally spoke, it brought him nothing but bad news.

"Yes, they're not completely dead!"

"However, you need not worry about that Talisman Puppet Celestial Venerable. Although he is not dead, he is suppressed inside the Chaos Stone Tablet. Whether he lives or dies, he can only become a Chaos Slave, and everything is under your control!"

The system's voice came through, which reassured Zhou Hai somewhat.

"what……"

"What's wrong? I feel like I can't breathe!"

My heart is in turmoil...

"Amitabha..."

Just then, the twenty-odd people cried out in pain. Zhou Hai turned his head and saw that their eyes were all bloodshot.

Even the monks and nuns from the Buddhist community felt a sense of uncontrollable urges at this moment.

This scene sent a chill down Zhou Hai's spine. Clearly, if he didn't make a choice now, all of these people would die.

But when he thought about having to give up his innate energy, he felt a little reluctant!

"Wait, I didn't quite catch that. You mean that the Primordial Qi can only lead to the Supreme Immortal of Forgetfulness, like the Heavenly Dao Flowing Water?"

Suddenly, Zhou Hai thought of something and asked again.

"Yes, host!"

"This is the simplest method to become an immortal, and it's also a 100% guaranteed method!"

The system responds.

"Damn, becoming a Supreme Being of No Emotions, isn't that more painful than death?"

"We must refine it!"

"Immediately refine this primordial energy into a supreme treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai made a decision immediately.

When he first saw Chen Liushui, the Immortal of Heartlessness, he had already made up his mind that if the price of becoming an immortal was to be heartless and devoid of love, abandoning all emotions and desires, then he would rather not live forever.

The same is true today; after all, the Heartless Immortal and a stone without feelings are really no different!

"Ding: Congratulations, host, for making your choice. You have exchanged one chance to become an immortal for a supreme innate treasure!"

Without any hesitation, the system's mechanical voice echoed in Zhou Hai's mind. He felt as if something had disappeared from his body, but it had no effect on him.

Immediately afterwards, a treasure appeared in his system world: a snow-white jade pendant without any impurities.

Zhou Hai took it out, and after just one glance, he felt his mind clear, as if all worldly thoughts had been wiped away.

He was initially somewhat reluctant to lose his innate vital energy. After all, even at its worst, it was still an item for achieving immortality, extremely rare throughout history. Even if he didn't use it, he could still keep it as a keepsake.

It's gone so suddenly, and I always feel a sense of emptiness inside.

But at this moment, that feeling completely disappeared.

He felt his mind was clear, and it seemed he could let go of everything in the world.

"Holy crap, is this the vessel for innate Qi? No wonder it's specifically designed to counter the Demon of Stealing Fortune. What kind of distracting thoughts can withstand its influence!"

Zhou Hai sighed softly. Although he had lost an opportunity to become an immortal, he discovered that with this thing, not only could he suppress the distracting thoughts of the Lucky Thief Demon, but his cultivation would also proceed smoothly.

Its effect is more powerful than the Heavenly Ladder of Enlightenment and the Fruit of Enlightenment combined.

"Oh no, it's the Transport Thief!"

"When were we implanted with the demonic seed?"

At this moment, exclamations were heard one after another.

Zhou Hai turned his head sharply and saw that the twenty-odd people were trembling all over, as if monsters were being born inside them, frantically devouring their soul essence and trying to completely replace them.

At this moment, a strong power of stealing luck was generated within them.

The thief... has finally shown himself.
