Chapter 286: No Martial Ethics

Upon learning the situation, Lord Chiyu quickly rushed towards his own mining area at the fastest speed.

After more than six months, Lord Chiyu finally arrived at his mining area.

Next, he carefully examined it and found that his mining area had not been completely robbed.

As for how much had been stolen, Chiyu did not know because his divine sense could not penetrate the entire mining area.

To know the exact amount stolen, he would have to mine the entire area.

However, mining high-quality immortal essence stone veins is extremely challenging.

Even with Lord Chiyu’s cultivation level as a Golden Immortal, it would take him tens of thousands of years to mine it.

Yet, as a dignified Golden Immortal Chiyu, he could not spend tens of thousands of years working as a miner.

What puzzled Lord Chiyu the most was how the being he was chasing managed to mine the high-quality immortal essence stone vein so quickly.

Inside the high-quality immortal essence stone vein, there were very solid rock layers mixed in, which could only be barely shattered by Earth Immortals.

Moreover, even if the other party had a powerful cultivation level, it would be impossible for them to quickly shatter such sturdy rock layers to take all the stones away.

Most importantly, Lord Chiyu discovered that the unknown being had not shattered the rock layers at all but had simply stolen the high-quality immortal essence stones directly from within.

This realization made Lord Chiyu feel horrified.

At the same time, it strengthened his determination to capture that unknown being.

The other party’s ability was too terrifying; they could steal an entire mine in a short time. If this continued, their losses would be enormous.

Of course, Chiyu also had another idea: to capture the other party and force them to reveal how they managed to steal the mines so quickly.

If he could obtain the method for rapid mining, his Qingzhui Clan could quickly gain a vast amount of resources.

With that, his Qingzhui Clan could likely remain the overlord of the Immortal Realm in the future.

…

As Chiyu rushed back to the Qingzhui Tribe’s mining area, Li Xiaojun had already headed to the Kui Niu Tribe’s mining area.

He still had half of the Kui Niu Tribe’s mining area left to exploit.

Since Chiyu had come this way, he naturally could go and steal the remaining mining area from the Kui Niu Tribe.

Six months later, Li Xiaojun returned to the Kui Niu Tribe’s mining area and once again eliminated the Kui Niu Tribe’s "miners."

Soon, the Kui Niu Tribe reported the situation to Lord Chiyu.

However, by the time Lord Chiyu arrived, Li Xiaojun had almost finished mining the Kui Niu Tribe’s area.

After searching through the Kui Niu Tribe’s mining area without any success, Lord Chiyu quickly headed back to his own mining area.

He believed that once the other party finished mining the Kui Niu Tribe’s area, they would surely go to the Qingzhui Tribe’s mining area next.

Chiyu’s guess was correct.

As soon as Li Xiaojun finished mining the Kui Niu Tribe’s mining area, he flew directly to the Qingzhi Tribe’s mining area.

Through these encounters, Li Xiaojun had discovered that as long as Lord Chiyu could not see him with his eyes, he could use the system to help him hide his figure.

So this time, Li Xiaojun decided to steal all the high-quality immortal essence stones from the Qingzhi Tribe without harming their miners.

The immortal essence stone vein had the function of shielding divine sense, so he could easily hide within the vein and extend outwards like blooming flowers to mine the stones.

This way, even if he was right under Lord Chiyu’s nose, the other party might not discover his presence.

Just like back in the Xumi Mountain Secret Realm when he stole high-quality immortal essence stones right under the eyes of a Golden Immortal Venerable.

Back then, he was only at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Now he had reached the Golden Immortal realm, so he had no fear.

Even if he couldn’t defeat the strongest beast tribe, Lord Chiyu, he could still escape.

His understanding of the rules of space had exceeded twenty percent.

Therefore, if he wanted to run away, Lord Chiyu could not catch him.

Indeed, Li Xiaojun’s guess was correct.

Lord Chiyu was personally guarding his high-quality immortal essence stone vein.

However, Li Xiaojun entered the mining area right under Lord Chiyu’s nose and began to steal the high-quality immortal essence stones inside.

It was undeniable that as the overlord of the Immortal Realm, the Qingzhi Tribe had far larger high-quality immortal essence stone veins compared to other races.

After nearly four years, Li Xiaojun finally finished stealing all the high-quality immortal essence stones from the Qingzhi Tribe.

This also allowed him to gain nearly thirty billion high-quality immortal essence stones.

Adding this to what he had previously mined from the Heavenly Tiger Tribe, Flood Dragon Tribe, and Kui Niu Tribe, Li Xiaojun had amassed nearly seventy-eight billion high-quality immortal essence stones, equivalent to seventy-eight trillion low-grade immortal essence stones.

If he absorbed all these as system energy value, it would be enough to directly enhance seventy-eight thousand children with high upper chaotic divine demon talents.

However, even with so many high-quality immortal essence stones absorbed into the system, he was still far from the next system upgrade, which felt like trying to save an entire cart of burning firewood with just a cup of water.

But energy value accumulates gradually, and the future holds plenty of time for Li Xiaojun to build up his resources.

He believed that one day, he would eventually gather enough energy value for the next system upgrade.

He was curious about what kind of functions the system would bring him after the next upgrade, and he looked forward to it.

That day, Li Xiaojun finally finished mining the high-quality immortal essence stone vein of the Qingzhi Tribe.

In his divine sense, Golden Immortal Lord Chiyu was still guarding near the vein.

However, what he did not know was that except for the shallow outer layer, most of the entire vein had already been mined by Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun scanned with his divine sense, and Lord Chiyu was unable to detect his presence.

Li Xiaojun considered whether to ambush Lord Chiyu.

Although he was only at the early Golden Immortal realm, Lord Chiyu was also at the early Golden Immortal realm; he might be on the verge of mid-Golden Immortal.

However, Li Xiaojun thought that even if his ambush failed, he could still escape.

After some thought, Li Xiaojun decided to go for the ambush.

What if he succeeded?

With that in mind, he slowly flew toward Lord Chiyu’s direction.

As he flew, he used the system to shield his divine sense and hid his figure with the rules of space.

To avoid being noticed by Lord Chiyu, Li Xiaojun was extremely careful when activating the power of the rules, fearing detection.

Soon, Lord Chiyu came into Li Xiaojun’s maximum attack range.

Time Deceleration.

Time and Space Entanglement.

As soon as he started, Li Xiaojun unleashed his strongest attack.

With all his strength, he drained his immortal essence power in that strike, leaving him with no combat ability afterward.

After executing this attack, Li Xiaojun chose to teleport to his daughter, Li Yufei.

In that moment of his attack, Lord Chiyu sensed that something was wrong.

A strong power surged toward the heart of Lord Chiyu.

At that moment, a bell-shaped immortal tool automatically activated, instantly surrounding his entire body within the bell.

Crack!

Fizz~

In an instant, Li Xiaojun’s Time and Space Entanglement struck the bell-shaped immortal tool.

The moment the attack landed, the bell-shaped immortal tool developed numerous cracks.

Seeing this, Lord Chiyu’s expression changed dramatically.
