The Zhang family patriarch's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to explode in my ears like thunder.
Stealing the Heavenly Book was his greatest secret and also the strongest factor that enabled him to rise to where he is today.
He had thought about it many times, and guessed countless times, who exactly created the Book of the Thief.
Why has such a powerful book of thievery never appeared before?
Why was it so easy for me to obtain the Book of Thieves? It was as if it was waiting for me there.
The evil of the Book of Stealing Heaven lies in the fact that its hints and timing of action are always so underhanded.
Most importantly, it becomes incredibly agitated every time it sees the Heavenly Dao appear, as if it were its natural enemy and the prey it most desires to capture.
He Boqi once speculated that this Book of Stealing Heaven seemed to have been created specifically to interfere with the Heavenly Way, and all the steps and plans were aimed directly at the Heavenly Way.
From the very beginning, when Ye Chen's foundation of fortune was stripped away, to when Qin Feng was subdued and the Heavenly Dao was also exploited, the Book of Stealing Heaven had already begun its operation.
It seems my guess was right; stripping the chosen one of destiny of his foundation of fortune was all to deceive the heavens.
This leads Heaven to believe that this is a battle between chosen ones, and that Heaven will not interfere in such a battle.
Because what it wants is the strongest one to win in the end, so that it can use it.
After stealing the Qi of destiny, then stealing the stars and killing the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, a rudimentary form of a vast starry sky appeared within his dantian.
All of this corresponds perfectly to the theft of the heavens.
Stealing the power of the Heavenly Dao to create another Heavenly Dao within one's own body, one bright and one dark, the day the Heavenly Dao discovers it will be the moment of the final battle.
The one who created the Book of Thieves and orchestrated all of this was his own cheap ancestor, the Evil Old Man.
But what's amazing is that he didn't utter a single word about the phantom that had been babbling on with him for three hours.
Tell me, do you pee or not?
It didn't mention what he wanted to do, what he was facing now, or what Xiao Boqi should pay attention to.
It didn't even mention how to advance Xiao Boqi's cultivation in the future.
What he talked about most was encouraging Xiao Boqi to capture the Holy Maiden from other forces and force her to cook for him.
Once cooked, send it back; once the child is grown, bring it back.
There wasn't a single serious word.
According to the timeline Zhang Laozi described, his illusory figure left in the plaque must have known all of this.
But that damn old bastard just won't say, who knows what he's thinking?
"Then the Heaven-Stealing Divine Book in my sea of consciousness is the manifestation of my ancestor from the Yi family?"
This was Huang Boqi's biggest question.
His own cheap ancestor had disappeared for thousands of years, and the last time he saw Zhang Laozi, he mentioned the Book of Stealing Heaven.
Then he only has two possible fates: either he will be eliminated by the Heavenly Dao or he will transform into a thief of the Heavenly Book.
Because Yi Boqi now remembers that the Heaven-Slaying Sword originated from the Book of Stealing Heaven, if his ancestor had evolved into the Book of Stealing Heaven, then everything would seem to make sense.
But Old Zhang shook his head decisively.
"Your ancestor would never turn himself into an inanimate object. The Book of Stealing Heaven was created by him by combining the secret manuals of all the super powers in the Imperial Land."
"The secret manuals of super powers are inherently objects of great fortune. With so many secret manuals combined, this Book of Stealing Heaven is itself an extraordinary treasure of great fortune."
He pointed to the Heaven-Slaying Sword on the stone table as he spoke.
"The strongest sword technique of the Illusionary World Sword Sect is called the Nine Swords of Illusionary World, but Fa Tian prefers to call it 'I Have a Sword,' while your ancestor always felt that the Nine Swords of Illusionary World was too gentlemanly, so he created a move called the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Sheathing Technique as a follow-up to the Nine Swords of Illusionary World."
"Back then, the Qing Clan was the closest to the Illusionary Sword Sect and its power was equal to that of the Qing Clan. The Qing Clan was best at deducing heavenly secrets and identifying those favored by destiny."
"But the Qing family was destroyed by heavenly lightning just like the Illusionary Sword Sect. Fortunately, the Qing family managed to preserve a branch by using a method to deceive the heavens. In order not to be locked by the Heavenly Dao, the Qing clan chose to reproduce within my Dao Sect, and each generation would intermarry with my Zhang family."
At this point, Old Zhang smacked his lips.
"All of this was orchestrated by your ancestor, because he brought back the remaining members of the Qing clan. His original intention was to arrange a marriage between the Qing clan and your Qi clan, but after seeing the people of your Qi clan, the Qing clan swore to refuse."
"Therefore, the abilities of the Qing clan should have also been refined into the Book of Stealing Heaven by your ancestor."
"Back then, there was a super power in the Imperial Land called the Star Pavilion. The Star Pavilion was most skilled in the art of array formations, using the power of array formations to draw down starlight to refine the body. However, the Star Pavilion was also destroyed by that vast and terrifying heavenly lightning."
"And your ancestor also obtained the Star Pavilion's top-secret scriptures, which is how you acquired the power of the stars."
After taking a sip from the large tea bowl, Old Zhang continued.
"Back then, there was an extremely low-profile yet terrifying race in the Imperial Land. This was a race that did not cultivate spiritual power but focused on body refinement."
"The physical techniques they practice are divided into two types: the Great Sun Violent Body and the Moonlit Shadowless Body."
"The Great Sun Violent Body is in charge of direct combat, while the Moonlit Shadowless Body is a top-notch assassin. The most unique thing about this race is that their cultivation method is to follow the sun and moon, rather than staying in one place to cultivate silently."
"This kind of physique is coveted by everyone. That damned Yun Qinliancheng once sent people to steal two infants from that race while the race's experts were away cultivating, intending to steal that race's innate physique."
When Yun Qinliancheng was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Laozi's eyes.
"But he underestimated the power of that race. In just three days, the capital of Yunqin, which was already in the nascent stage of a celestial dynasty, was breached, and the walls of the imperial palace were also smashed by iron fists."
"If Yunqin Liancheng had not personally apologized, ceded a large amount of territory and treasures, and returned the child, there would be no Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty today."
"But that powerful race was still destroyed by heavenly lightning."
"When your ancestor obtained the cultivation method of that race, he said that the race's physique actually had a great flaw because their Sun and Moon physical techniques were actually one."
"And the true body-refining technique that combines the two is called the Undying Star Body."
Listening to what Zhang Laozi said, Xiao Boqi finally understood what this "Book of Stealing Heaven" really was.
A hodgepodge.
However, it is a hodgepodge that incorporates the strongest classics of all the super powers.
This hodgepodge is perfectly embodied in himself.
Because his own cultivation methods were extremely complex, and he was able to master all of them very quickly.
The root cause lies in the fact that the scriptures that were merged with the stolen Heavenly Book were all Emperor-level cultivation techniques.
The reason why the Book of Thieves behaves in such a despicable manner is...
This thing was made by Xie Laoxie.
