Kunpeng's Black Pot Successfully Obtained

Di Jiang's divine sense locked onto the Yin-Yang Banana Tree swaying gracefully in the valley, radiating an alluring treasure light. Just as he was about to perform a dashing Sleeve Universe to snatch it away, his movements paused slightly.

The banana tree was enveloped by an extremely hidden Innate Magic Array, a protective measure inherent to the tree itself. In addition to this, there was an Acquired Human-Arranged Formation, upon which a trace of familiar Pure Qi Dao Rhyme faintly flowed—the aura of the Three Pure Ones!

"Oh?"

Di Jiang's eyebrows shot up!

"So, those three brats, the Three Pure Ones, had already discovered this leek and carefully put up a fence, waiting to harvest it after it fattened up!"

This meant that, in the Primordial World, this Yin-Yang Banana Tree was already considered someone's property. If he, Di Jiang, were to take it now, the nature of the act would change—from foraging in the wild to outright robbery!

Any Great Power who valued their reputation would likely be weighing whether or not to proceed at this point! However, Di Jiang stroked his chin, his eyes showing no hint of guilt!

"Hmm, taking something that belongs to someone else directly does indeed resemble robbery. Not good, not good."

"But! What if I were faster, cleaner, and then stirred up the Heavenly Secrets a bit... so they wouldn't even know who did it, and couldn't find the victim, would that still be called robbery?"

"This is at most theft! Besides, I'm also preventing the Three Pure Ones from falling out amongst themselves over unequal distribution of treasures in the future! I'm preserving the precious brotherhood between the Three Pure Ones! I'm doing a good deed! Immeasurable merit, so it's not theft!"

After a powerful construction of his own logic, Di Jiang felt refreshed. He wasn't here to steal or rob; he was here to enlighten all beings.

"I've decided! For the sake of the Three Pure Ones' family harmony, and for Sister Jiu Feng's Great Dao, I, Di Jiang, will reluctantly accept this banana tree!"

No sooner said than done! Di Jiang waved his hand, and the Space Law bypassed the Innate Magic Array. The entire tree, along with the Spirit Soil beneath it, was instantly uprooted, compressed into a ball of flowing light, and whooshed into Di Jiang's sleeve. His movements were fluid and clean, a model of efficiency!

Immediately after, he flicked his sleeve again, and a power that muddled Heavenly Secrets and disturbed Karma spread out, erasing all traces of the banana tree and himself from the area, as if the tree had never grown there.

Having done all this, Di Jiang clapped his hands with satisfaction and surveyed his surroundings:

"Perfect! This way, it's not robbery, but a secret 'borrowing'! Yes, borrowing! Once I've comprehended the Yin-Yang Law, I'll consider whether to return it..."

"Sigh, it's not easy being the eldest brother. Not only do I have to provide for the family, but I also have to handle psychological counseling and moral self-construction." Di Jiang thought as he departed, feeling he had sacrificed so much for this family.

Just as Di Jiang left, the Three Pure Ones, who were in their respective caves cultivating and healing, felt their hearts jolt almost simultaneously!

The wisp of Pure Qi Dao Rhyme they had left on the banana tree as a marker and guardian had vanished with a plop! Along with the banana tree itself, which they had observed for a long time and intended to collect when its Yin and Yang energies were most complete, their connection to it was completely severed!

"Not good!"

"How dare a thief!"

"What lowly scoundrel!"

Three beams of pure light, filled with shock and rage, shot up from the Three Pure Ones' caves on Kunlun Mountain. In almost the blink of an eye, they converged on the valley where the banana tree had once grown.

However, the valley was empty. Only residual, chaotic Heavenly Secrets remained, along with a faint trace of spatial fluctuation, almost imperceptible. The thief had long since vanished into the vastness, escaping faster than the clouds above Kunlun Mountain!

Taiqing's face was grim, Yuqing Yuanshi's face was ashen, and Shangqing was so enraged he directly cursed:

"Shameless wretch! Hiding your head and showing your tail! If I ever find out who it is, I will grind their bones to dust!"

Yuqing also snorted coldly, "To dare commit such petty thievery on my Kunlun Mountain! Truly a scoundrel!"

After venting their anger, the Three Pure Ones suppressed their fury and began to analyze who this audacious thief could be.

Taiqing pondered, "This person could snatch the treasure and flee in an instant before we noticed, and also disrupt Heavenly Secrets, making it difficult for us to deduce their identity. Their strength is at least Peak Da Luo, and most importantly, their speed is incredibly fast."

Yuqing interjected with a condescending analytical tone, "Hmph, such behavior suggests they lack a suitable Innate Spiritual Treasure themselves, hence their coveting of a High-grade Spirit Root! Looking across the Primordial World today, which of the prominent Great Powers doesn't have a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure accompanying them? Zhenyuanzi has the Book of Earth, Di Jun has the He Tu Luo Shu, East Prince Gong has the Pure Yang Sword and Purple Sun Furnace, Queen Mother of the West has the Kunlun Mirror..."

Yuqing paused, his gaze sweeping over his brothers, subconsciously ignoring the fact that they, besides the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, also lacked Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. However, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda was even more precious than those Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Coupled with Yuqing's belief in his noble origins, he naturally wouldn't lack spiritual treasures in the future, so he continued his deduction, "Only those with slightly inferior origins, shallow fortune, and no powerful spiritual treasures to protect them would be so indiscriminate!"

Shangqing heard this and immediately began counting on his fingers, "High cultivation, fast speed, and no decent spiritual treasures! Kunpeng! That old bird's speed is unparalleled in the Primordial World. He originated from the North Sea and had no spiritual treasures when listening to the Dao in Purple Heaven Palace. He's the most suspicious!"

Yuqing Yuanshi added, "And Taiyi! I heard he has no accompanying spiritual treasure. The Golden Sun Wheel is his brother Di Jun's. His speed is also not slow, and his actions are quite overbearing!"

Taiqing nodded slightly, then recalled the two from the West, "And Jieyin and Zhunti! They are always begging for alms in our East, their shamelessness is rare in the Primordial World! If they learned of treasure on Kunlun, it wouldn't be surprising for them to do something like this!"

Thus, through the "rigorous" deductions of the Three Pure Ones, a "suspect list" filled with prejudice and subjective speculation was freshly compiled!

Prime Suspect: Kunpeng (Reason: Fast speed, poor)

Second Suspect: Taiyi (Reason: No accompanying spiritual treasure, motive for the crime)

Third Suspects: Jieyin, Zhunti (Reason: Previous offenses, thick-skinned)

After a period of "rigorous" analysis, the Three Pure Ones looked at this suspect list, their gazes converging on the first name—Kunpeng!

Yuqing's eyes flashed with cold light, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, "It must be that feathered beast! In Purple霄 Palace, he and Jieyin fought over the Saint Seat Cushion, and we forced them back together. He must hold a grudge! This time, stealing the banana tree is both revenge and coveting a spiritual treasure!"

Shangqing immediately agreed, "Second Brother is absolutely right! Kunpeng's speed is unmatched in the Primordial World, swift as the wind, fitting the thief's characteristics! Moreover, the North Sea is harsh and cold, he truly doesn't have much decent property. How could he not be tempted upon seeing a High-grade Spirit Root?"

Although Taiqing felt that Jieyin and Zhunti were also quite suspicious, he considered that the Western duo were far away and seemed to be better at directly calling at the door, crying about the suffering of the West, and using "soft persuasion"!

Rather than this kind of "lightning theft," coupled with the new enmity between Yuqing and Kunpeng, he slowly nodded, agreeing with this judgment!

"Third Brother's words are reasonable. Kunpeng is the most suspicious. He has the motive, the ability, and the need. This matter is most likely his doing!"

The Three Pure Ones were one, their hearts linked. Yuqing Yuanshi's enmity with Kunpeng was, in the eyes of Taiqing and Shangqing, an enmity with all Three Pure Ones. Now that their home had been burglarized, this grievance naturally had to be placed upon the prime suspect, Kunpeng!

"Hmph! Next time the Dao is preached in Purple Heaven Palace, I will definitely demand an explanation from that Kunpeng!" Yuqing said coldly, already contemplating how to interrogate Kunpeng and even make him pay the price.

"If he denies it, then let him know that Pangu's Three Pure Ones are not to be trifled with!" Shangqing said, his fighting spirit surging.

Although Taiqing did not utter harsh words, his eyes indicated his support for his two brothers' decision. The Three Pure Ones had already determined that Kunpeng was the thief who stole their banana tree!

Meanwhile, deep within the vast waters of the North Sea, Kunpeng, who was diligently cultivating in his Demon Master Palace and digesting the teachings from Purple Heaven Palace, shivered inexplicably, a chill running down his spine.

Kunpeng opened his eyes in confusion, his divine sense sweeping over the icy North Sea, but he found nothing unusual.

"Strange, could something have gone wrong with my cultivation?"

Kunpeng frowned, carefully examining himself, but found nothing amiss! He could never have imagined that a large, round Black Pot from Kunlun Mountain had already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, precisely locking onto him!

And it was about to be firmly placed upon his head during the next lecture at Purple Heaven Palace.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps it's just been renamed!
