Wang Baoleâs breakthrough in cultivation hadnât been particularly impressive in terms of the power displayed during the breakthrough . However, it still managed to create a surge in spirit energy in the restricted zone . Waves of spirit energy flooded the area, sending waves of shock surging through the cultivators working in the battleship . Â The Grand Supreme Elder and the sectâs six Nascent Soul realm elders were taken aback when they sensed the sudden breakthrough . The Grand Supreme Elder was the first to recover from his shock . He teleported away instantly and appeared in midair, hovering above Team Seven . He lowered his head, ignored the members of Team Seven, who had rushed away from their stations with surprise on their faces, and allowed his senses to sweep across the area . His senses immediately locked onto the chamber that Wang Baole was in!
 The Grand Supreme Elderâs eyes widened after his closer inspection . Incredulity colored his eyes .
 Long Nanzi? Heâs attained a breakthrough?
 The Grand Supreme Elder could clearly sense what was happening inside the chamber . Wang Baole sat inside, his cultivation surging as Nascent Soul realm spirit energy continued to gather . The Grand Supreme Elder could sense Wang Baoleâs Golden Core cracking and his Nascent Soul forming rapidly .
 The sectâs six elders arrived one after another . They were equally surprised when they realized that Long Nanzi was the one who was currently in the midst of a breakthrough in cultivation .
 Long Nanzi had shown limited potential . Despite the opportunity he had come across in his earlier years, he had only managed to reach the Core Formation realm . The Nascent Soul realm wasnât technically out of reach for him, but the chances of him actually attaining the Nascent Soul realm had been slim .
 They had felt incredulous at first . Then, they gave the idea some more thought . Long Nanzi had shown himself to be a late bloomer in the area of artifact refinement . His sudden improvement in that aspect could have been the catalyst that led to his breakthrough . It was a possibility that shouldnât be discounted . Visit website our Listnovel . com
 Both the elders and the Grand Supreme Elder had verified Long Nanziâs sudden advancement in artifact refinement . They hadnât managed to find anything amiss with the cultivator . Nothing was out of the ordinary with Long Nanzi . His soul, his physical form, and his aura showed no signs of him being possessed or replaced by someone else .  Long Nanziâs breakthrough might have been unexpected, but it was a happy surprise . The emergence of another Nascent Soul realm cultivator in the sect was a boost to the sectâs power and influence . In addition, his skill in artifact refinement was clear for all to see . His skill, his length of service in the sect, and his breakthrough in cultivation would contribute greatly to the repair works of the battleship .
 The Grand Supreme Elderâs eyes shone intensely at that thought . He immediately ordered for the area to be locked down . Everyone in Team Seven was made to leave . Then, he and the remaining six elders sat down and stood watch over Wang Baole .
 Members of Team Seven didnât waste time, immediately spreading the news of Long Nanziâs breakthrough . Everyone in the restricted zone soon knew him to be the source of the sudden surge in spirit energy that signified a breakthrough!
 Shocked gasps and heated discussions could be heard throughout the restricted zone . Some people expressed envy, others expressed jealousy, and many sighed with longing and a tinge of bitterness .
 The person who was the epitome of bitterness and resentment was Li Chen .
 Has the Divine Eye gone blind? Is every Tom, Dick, and Harry going to break through now? Li Chen glared furiously at the battleship floating in the air . He cursed at Wang Baole, wishing fervently that his breakthrough would fail . But his curses were useless . Three days later⊠Wang Baole ended his cultivation and stepped out of his chamber . The Grand Supreme Elder immediately announced his promotion as the seventh elder of the sect!
 Following Wang Baoleâs promotion, the Grand Supreme Elderâs attitude towards him changed . He was no longer as stern to him as he would be to other disciples . He smiled more at Wang Baole, as did the other six elders .
 Wang Baole was familiar with such politics . He had climbed the ranks while he had been in the Federation, rising from the bottom to become a high ranking official . So, he was skilled in public relations . He responded in kind and established a cordial relationship with the elders .  In the days that followed, Wang Baole went through a series of ceremonies that saw him officially promoted to the position of sect elder . His access rights were modified accordingly . This was something he had been looking forward to . Besides gaining access to classified literature and sect techniques, he also gained the right to enter the battleshipâs core sector .
 Wang Baole directed his focus to the battleshipâs core sector in the days that followed . Besides studying the sectâs classified records and learning more about its refinement techniques, he also attempted to repair the Dharmic Artifacts in the battleshipâs core sector .
 His proficiency in artifact refinement advanced rapidly once again . Repeated experimentation and practice deepened his understanding of the battleship and its construction . His confidence in crafting his own battleship grew as well .
 In his spare time, Wang Baole began mentally drafting the blueprints for his battleship . The construction had to be logically sound and had to adhere to the laws governing composite Dharmic Artifacts . It was going to be a complex blueprint . Despite his skill in the area, it still took him months to come up with a complete blueprint in his head .
 With the first draft of his blueprint complete, a new problem arose⊠resources!
 The Holy Crest Sect had to auction off nearly half of its buildings in order to repair its battleship . Wang Baole, on the other hand, was starting the construction of his battleship with nothing . The resources required to build a battleship from scratch would be immense . In fact, it might be so expensive that it was impossible to put a price tag on the venture .
 I have to think of a wayâŠÂ Wang Baole studied the blueprints he had drafted in his head and did a rough calculation of the resources he required . The final figure was a heavy weight on his chest . The stress was immense .
 If only I could use my good looks to get me the resources I need . This would hardly be a problem⊠What should I do now? Should I make use of my identity to steal resources? Wang Baole sighed at the vast amount of resources he was going to need . The gears in his head began moving .  The Grand Supreme Elder and the other elders had long acknowledged his new position as one of the sectâs elders . He could sense their concealed wariness against him waning .
 After understanding the nature of the Divine Eye civilization and how it centered around plunder and pillage, Wang Baole came to another realization . Even though the Grand Supreme Elder and the sect elders appeared friendly, their cordial appearances were just thatâappearances . Good men were rare in this civilization . Those who wanted to advance further in their cultivation had to venture out and become bandits . Killing became second nature for them .
 Wang Baole might have passed multiple rounds of inspections, but his drastic transformation still incited suspicion . During this period, he had sensed eyes constantly watching him . He had no intention of ruining the sect though . That was why the Grand Supreme Elder and the other elders couldnât find anything wrong with him .
 If Wang Baole wanted to, he could secretly divert resources to himself for his own use . His position would make that a convenient solution, but the sect was too poor and lacked sufficient resources . After some thought, Wang Baole concluded that he would have to drain the sect dry and rob it of its battleship in order for this to work . Anything less wouldnât work .
A grown man shouldnât be so fixated on the small stuff . Iâll either go big or go home . I shouldnât waste my time with small fry . Â Wang Baole coughed and narrowed his eyes . There was a glint in his eyes .
 The Divine Eye civilization is a big place . There are plenty of rich sects aroundâŠÂ Wang Baole licked his lips . He thought for a bit and made up his mind, he was going to avoid the spying that was still occasionally being done on him over the next few days . He would begin emptying his storage bags and start buying resources secretly .
 He did exactly what he planned to . Then, one moonless night, Wang Baole sneaked out from his residence without anyoneâs notice and appeared⊠in the sky outside the Holy Crest Sect .
 There may be many sects in the fifth ring, but most of them will have hidden their resources carefully . Even if I infiltrate a sect, Iâll have to take on someoneâs identity in order to search the place . Then, Iâll have to rely on luck to find anything valuable . Thatâs not efficient at all . Itâs a waste of time and troublesome as wellâŠ
 The best way is to get the sects to get their resources organized of their own accord . Itâll make things easier for me when I come for the resources .
 Thatâs why⊠if I want to conduct a robbery, the ideal target⊠is a battleship that has just returned from a successful raid and is filled with loot . Not only am I guaranteed a bountiful harvest, but I can also take the battleship apart and harvest it for parts! Wang Baoleâs eyes shone intensely . The feeling of being in a foreign civilization, unbound by obligation, excited him . He concealed his presence and headed for the stars .
 The main star of the Divine Eye Star System housed numerous sects . That meant that there were plenty of battleships around . Some of those battleships were capable of long-distance travel, while others were only capable of travel within the star system . Numerous battleships arrived and departed the star system . The number might not be astoundingly high, but it was still considerable .
 That was the sight that greeted Wang Baole when he appeared outside the outer atmosphere of the Divine Eye civilization . His eyes swept across the numerous battleships, he rubbed his chin, and his appearance began to shift rapidly as he transformed from Long Nanzi to⊠Zhuo Yixian .
 He coughed, then raised his right hand in a wave . In his storage bag, the donkey, which had been sleeping soundly just a moment earlier, stirred awake .
 âMy dear son, itâs time for you to prove yourself . Come, tell your daddy . Based on your vast experience of munching on everything in sight, which battleship do you think has the most resources hidden inside?â
