Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 457 - 358: Outbreak of the Immortal Path War, Research on the Divine Object of Thieves
Xu Changsheng, elated, glanced at the powerful beings who had pursued the Divine Object beside him and said coldly, "Are you still not leaving?"
The several hundred sixth-tier, tenth-layer Immortal Path experts looked deeply at the Pure Yang True Immortal.
The leading expert suddenly shouted:
"Attack!"
The others echoed:
"Yes, we can’t let the Pure Yang True Immortal get used to the power of the Divine Object. If we don’t act now, we’ll have no chance at all!"
"In our Immortal Path system, which isn’t under the Magic Net’s gods, what does it matter if he has a Divine Object? He’s just an individual strong in possession of the Divine Object. Without the Power of Heaven and Earth to sustain him extraordinarily, he will be besieged by us!"
"Yes, under the Magic Net’s blessings, even gods have been defeated by mortals. How much weaker it is with a mere immortal?"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
An endless killing intent surged forth.
The various young strong individuals with ill intentions all moved in unison.
Their talents and realms were on par with their opponent.
They were all sixth-tier, tenth-layer; the only disparity was his possession of a Divine Object.
A battle erupted in an instant.
The next second, countless strong beings, with just one attack on the Pure Yang True Immortal, felt an extraordinary sensation.
"Attacking the Pure Yang True Immortal, you enter a state of comprehension?"
"What kind of Divine Object trait is this?"
"Hahaha, he’s using a self-destructive Divine Object; we’re even more confident!"
Numerous strong beings, brimming with confidence, launched their attack.
Moreover, they discovered that in battling this "comprehension stone," the more they struck, the stronger they became, their moves increasingly fierce, insights flooding in like tides.
It was like in a game, where each strike increased attack power by 3%, capable of continuously stacking in power.
However, besieged Pure Yang True Immortal Xu Changsheng blocked the various swordsmanship, dao techniques, and fist techniques from the crowd and secretly remarked in his heart: "This Divine Object is potent, but its side effects are unexpectedly vast."
"The more they attack me, the stronger they become?"
Facing increasing pressure, Xu Changsheng felt a prickling at his scalp, cold sweat breaking out.
As a wily heroic Daoist strongman, he was confident that wielding the single Divine Object "Star Rushing Lightning" would allow him to overpower these super-strong equivalents.
Yet now the trouble compounded.
The second Divine Object "Accumulating Over the Years," turned out to have a side effect.
While others attacked him, it further increased their attack power, becoming stronger with successive strikes...
Though each strike would decrease lifespan, if he couldn’t withstand it, it was utterly meaningless.
"What kind of tank-like self-destructive Divine Object is this."
"It’s too outrageous."
Xu Changsheng sensed the greatest crisis of his life had arrived.
...
Meanwhile.
Liu Jun, watching Xu Changsheng get relentlessly beaten, couldn’t help but laugh,
"Alright, alright, this so-called Creator’s Time Divine Object, merely a mid-tier Divine Object, comes with significant side effects."
Relentlessly getting thrashed.
Only Xu Changsheng, as the wily heroic main character, had countless means and foundations, able to endure with this Divine Object.
Others, upon obtaining it and being besieged, would become Frenzy Warriors the more attacked, with less blood, lower lifespan, but higher attack power.
Who could withstand this?
Liu Jun already envisioned a scene in his mind,
"This is a disastrous Divine Object, snatching it leads to losing lifespan -1-1-1, but once obtained, holding a storage jar resolves its loss of lifespan side effect."
This way, once you start attacking, you immediately lose lifespan. To address the side effect, you can only go to the end, deadlocked with the opponent!
Clearly.
The strongmen besieging Xu Changsheng had already sensed their severe drop in lifespan and had begun deadlocking.
Once acquired, the lifespan side effect ceased!
"A desperate battle without retreat." Liu Jun’s gaze shifted past the battered Xu Changsheng, looking toward another Immortal Path Divine Object.
Unexpectedly.
The Immortal Path Divine Object didn’t choose Xu Changsheng, who completed the Immortal Path system?
But of course.
Xu Changsheng was just a human, incapable of accommodating two incompatible Divine Object series, able to wield only one. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
He possessed the Time series of "Star Rushing Lightning," unable to harbor the Life Divine Object, thus naturally seeking another host.
Yet the chosen one mildly surprised Liu Jun.
...
Throughout the history of this scholarly planet, various Saint Bodies emerged.
The most powerful Saint had an archaeological excavation site developed, constructing the Ten Saint Tombs.
Among these tombs, one was newly built.
The Tomb of the Wishing Witch Ying Qing.
At that moment.
In the burial area, a woman with abundant body hair, leaning over hunched, was hiding nearby.
This person was the Female Ape.
Back then, when the Top Ten Companies were attacked, they split into two paths: one portion led by the Great Black Heaven, joined the Immortal Path system to fight.
A conservative faction, to preserve the flame, hid underground, led by the Female Ape.
And the Female Ape’s husband in the spiritual realm was the Wishing Witch God Ying Qing, the founder of the Wishing Witch Country.
In the old days, Ying Qing lost a great battle against the Top Ten Companies, his power alone unable to surpass the companies’ foundation, fell into slumber in his coffin.
Yet at this moment.
A stream of light shot forward, violently colliding with Ying Qing’s dormant body.
The female ape saw this scene, her eyes shining brightly, "Indeed! The choice of the Divine Object of the Immortal Path is you, Ying Qing, the one who pioneered the Wishing Witch Path and Zombie Path as a founding figure in the history of the Immortal Path."
The Divine Object merged into his body, a brilliant light radiating.
An astonishingly immense life energy circulated within Ying Qing, quickly restoring his vitality.
Ying Qing slowly opened his eyes, looking around the crypt, then at the female ape, "How long have I been asleep? What has happened?"
The female ape extended a finger, and endless information of these years flooded into his mind.
Feeling the vast and complex information in his mind, Ying Qing instantly understood what had happened over the years, "I see, so the Divine Object of the Immortal Path chose me?"
He stood up, stretching his body, which was stiff from the long slumber.
Before he could process more information, there was a massive explosion outside the door.
The underground fortress had been breached, and immortals hovered in the sky, "Unbelievable, the remnants of the Top Ten Companies from back then are hiding here!"
"Huh? So it’s you who was chosen, Ying Qing?"
"Everyone, let’s get to it!"
"Alright!"
Clearly, another group of strong figures who had chased here also swiftly moved to seize the Divine Object.
Even if you’re a renowned figure in history or a heroic character from fairy tales read in childhood, you still need to compete for the Divine Object.
After all,
Everyone understands that whoever masters this Divine Object of the Immortal Path series will be the next true protagonist of the Immortal Path.
And might even hold a supreme mythical status in the entire future era.
"Kill!"
Lights of various kinds blossomed, followed by astounding attacks.
Seeing this scene, Ying Qing suddenly surged into the sky, "Though I still don’t know what to do after awakening, I will defeat you and then gather the three Divine Objects of Essence, Energy, and Spirit left scattered outside back then."
A fierce battle erupted here.
...
Both battlefields were crashing like the sky falling and the earth splitting.
Even all the world’s strong figures felt that overwhelming sense of oppression.
Liu Jun watched this scene but did not choose to intervene, allowing things to take their course,
"I estimate it will take a dozen days before there’s a result."
He didn’t pay much attention to it.
Instead, he looked at his new data.
[Name: Liu Jun]

...
Liu Jun was very satisfied with the new changes.
The most crucial thing is that now the Immortal Path here begins to develop.
A stagnant pool of civilization, which had been dormant due to the Chaos Calamity, was brought to life by his world view persuasion!
They were already bustling and fighting everywhere, pushing forward the era’s civilization.
Liu Jun glanced at the next door, "That guy’s speed has slowed down, only reaching the 29th Divine Era."
Compared to before, it was indeed slower.
But it’s understandable, it’s a boss-level stage, the further you go, the slower it gets.
"I guess nothing significant will happen there in the short term."
Liu Jun contemplated.
After all, in the Magic World now, the deities have essentially become a fixed variable.
In the short term, there won’t be much change among the deities.
The latest explosion was the parallel world era, but for now, each Divine Era won’t progress too far.
Thus, Liu Jun’s attention could temporarily focus here.
They were rushing over from that side, and his task was to get things set up here.
Liu Jun had been in seclusion next door, researching the intermediate thief Divine Object, and had just manipulated a deal to grab over 80,000 pieces of equipment from the "Treasure Vault of the King" for free.
Now, the advanced thief Divine Object has come again.
"Coming at just the right time, got busy again."
While outside was a raging war, he remained calm and unconcerned.
After half an hour of secluded research on this new Divine Object, his world-shocking wisdom quickly uncovered its connected abilities.
"This thing is for establishing various shops, pawnshops, being a capitalist..."
"But to open a shop, you need goods, so where do my goods come from?"
It was pretty obvious, just from the stolen Treasure Vault of the King.
He took over 80,000 pieces of equipment, perfectly forming a connection,
one responsible for stealing things, the other for selling stolen goods and fencing them.
This thing is specifically a thief Divine Object for disposing of stolen goods.
