In a vast, cloud-covered land named the "Immortal Vault," the largest trading hub in the entire immortal world...

There were numerous golden wills, their forms obscured, watching a single video.

Yet, the location where the incident occurred was terrifying for all regions, especially the North.

Those who were pleased with the matter raised their voices in glee.

• "Hahahahaha! You fool, Liu Ju Ji! Do you think you can compete with the major powers?!"

Moreover, the ambitions to plunder Liu Ju Ji were immense.

And so too was the clan, now devoid of any man to protect it.

After all, Clark and Han Cheng... only one living ant remained: Liu Ju Ji's daughter.

In Liu Ju Ji's heart, a scream echoed.

Clark returned to the celestial island.

Beho Chenqing and Jin stared in shock.

They hadn't expected this, nor had they anticipated he would use such a terrifying plan.

After all...

Liu Ju Ji rushed to save his daughter, who had been thrown to the brink of death in her own clan.

That act wasn't mercy from Clark.

• "In truth, the reason I broadcast that video was to frame the clans and simultaneously put Liu Ju Ji in a dilemma—unable to save his daughter."

• "No one wants to see his daughter become a servant to his enemies. That would add extra shame to him."

• "If I hadn't left her alive, based on my deduction, he would continue the attack. Even if he sees the video, what does he have left? Everything is destroyed—his family, the clan he was going to rebuild."

• "If he retreats now, wouldn't it be extra shame that will attack him?"

After all, Clark had exhausted Jin and Beho Chenqing for a full month inside the celestial island.

It was annoying for Clark, a waste of his precious time and cultivation.

He left, excited. Now he had to return to the Refinement Conference with Jin.

And now he had to proceed with his plan. He was thinking of a strategy.

• "Today is the day of the challenge with An Er. If I win, her mother will be sad. If I lose to An Er, she'll feel I went easy on her."

• "The best option, the middle ground I deduced, is a draw. Simply."

• "I won't lose anything. I'll also exploit my relationship with her as a 'husband' and obtain the Concealment Method."

The Concealment Method of the Theft Path was enough to make Clark salivate.

After all, this is a concealment method from the Theft Path, but no one knows about it.

In truth, the Cicada itself is from the Theft Path, but it hasn't been refined again.

In reality, he needs to modify the Sky-Stealing Fists.

After all, they cannot steal immortal-level Extreme Moves.

Also, in direct combat, they are ineffective; they are slow.

On the other hand, it's more frustrating: if Immortals want to deduce an immortal-level Extreme Combo, it will take years of isolated deduction and cultivation.

The Sky-Stealing Fists used the immortal Cicada and also used an immortal-level Extreme Move from the Judgment Path: "Self-Judgment," alongside mortal-level Darkness Path techniques.

In reality, a flicker of inspiration flashed within Clark regarding the Darkness Path. He remembered the teachings of the Demonic Venerable, the Spectral King.

About the Darkness Path—it was forming from Clark's emotions.

He had discovered he possessed mortal-level Extreme Moves for the Darkness Path.

But the Demonic Venerable managed to unleash them in an earth-shattering, terrifying manner, to the point where even Heaven trembled because of his horror. After all, what is the mortal world compared to a Venerable's power? Nothing.

But Clark was thinking deeply about another matter.

He had managed to reach the Master attainment level in the Darkness Path.

If he could raise it further, he could mimic other paths.

And what Clark most wanted to mimic was the Light Path.

If he could mimic it, Clark would make the Sky-Stealing Hand a phantom hand.

A flicker of inspiration shone in Clark's eyes, and he was truly happy with his great deduction, etching these thoughts into his mind.

He had to become an Immortal.

Before becoming an Immortal and developing his power to become the absolute authority in the mortal world.

And, of course, steal the Extreme Phenomenon "Light of Wisdom."

Extreme Phenomena are, after all, immortal-level Extreme Moves of the ninth rank and extremely powerful.

And they can be destroyed.

But who would be insane enough to destroy one?

Clark and Jin arrived at the Refinement Conference and parted ways.

On the side of the Zhong Nan Sect, they approached Clark, happy with his presence.

After all, it was announced that Immortal Zo Long had joined their sect, showing dazzling talent at the Refinement Conference.

There were some envious sects.

After all, Clark's talents were displayed, showing he was a skilled young refinement talent.

But that was just a cover. The goal was the Soul Refinement Method to increase its power.

Clark turned to find An Er.

She was with her mother. They didn't come to greet him.

Clark laughed inwardly. He had prepared everything.

Matters were falling into his hands like a game.

Everyone prepared, and each person sat before a refinement cauldron.

The fourth stage began, the penultimate one.

Clark sat with extreme calm and began refining.

He ended up in second place.

Clark laughed.

• "Hahahaha! After all, my abilities stop here. Everyone in this world has their own limits. Even Venerables with talents that surpass human understanding and extraordinary luck... yet they could only cultivate one path."

• "Even I have to cultivate one path."

• "What allows me to use immortal-level Extreme Moves from multiple paths is that I simply haven't become an Immortal, and my Immortal Will is fake."

• "My body also cannot contain dense Dao Marks, and my body isn't fully connected to them."

• "But if I become an Immortal, I can contain Dao Marks and effectively increase my power by utilizing their natural enhancement, which multiplies my strength."

• "Of course, the path I will choose is undoubtedly Theft."

Clark stood calmly. The thought of becoming an Immortal-level refiner alone excited him.

Clark looked at the clear sky. This brought back memories for him...

Xian Tian was looking at the sky with a bright light. He was terrifyingly calm.

Hai Luo asked him:

• "Xian Tian, even though you don't fear death, what makes you keep advancing?"

When Xian Tian was young and immature, he needed to think to find an answer.

But after undergoing trials and calamities, the answer appeared in his mind.

• "Immortality!!! That goal is rooted in my heart."

Hai Luo looked into Xian Tian's eyes. They were shining with a brilliance of excitement and awe.

It wasn't greed, just something thrilling and enjoyable—Clark and Xian Tian's unique style. After all, they are the same person.

This pursuit without obstacles made Clark understand himself.

This thrill in challenging Heaven, Earth, and humans...

It was a great feeling that surpassed Clark's heart, filling it with excitement.

In his pursuit, he didn't mind killing and stealing.

A light flashed in Clark's eyes. He had understood the Theft Path to the point where he almost broke the shackles.

But he wouldn't be able to break these shackles until he reached the sixth-rank Immortal-level cultivator!!!

People began to gather.

Meanwhile, Clark looked ahead. It was An Er.

She said loudly:

• "I challenge Immortal Zo Long to a duel!!!"

Clark looked at her calmly and said:

• "You must offer a wager for me to duel you. Also, what do you want us to refine?"

An Er replied:

• "Fine, you will get a refinement recipe for an immortal-level Extreme Move."

• "As for what we will refine, we will refine the Extreme Move 'Raw Ore' from the Metal Path."

Clark responded:

• "Alright then, agreed."

Everyone awaited what was to come with excitement.

As expected, the entire Zhong Nan Sect stood behind An Er, anticipating her victory.

After all, Clark had just joined them and wouldn't have their loyalty. They also hoped An Er would win instead of Clark.

Clark laughed inwardly.

• "You want a good show? Fine!!!"

The two began refining.

Clark looked on; he was in an awkward position.

An Er's speed and talent were terrifyingly apparent.

Clark didn't know she had been training for this. She had even tolerated lowering her rank just for this moment to reveal what she had, shocking everyone.

An Er reached the terrifying stage of adding materials to melt them and begin shaping the immortal-level Extreme Move.

An Er's eyes flashed terribly.

Her hands moved faster than sound. To everyone, it seemed as if she had four hands.

Clark laughed.

• "A refinement method from the Sound Path. But it won't end like this."

Boom!!!

Everyone looked on in shock, even the fairy Xiu Qing.

She was angry.

Clark used Blood Path techniques and disrupted An Er's refinement.

She suffered a violent backlash and spat blood.

Clark's face was like a solid block, unchanged.

After all, his plan was proceeding well.

And it wasn't time for anyone to win yet.
