Eternal Thief

Hearing Ace’s cold words, the voice from the sword roared furiously, “I expected nothing less from the Sinner of eternity! So be it; you will still meet with your impending doom. Your kind simply didn’t know the word ‘peace’ and the dare to profane gods. I have nothing else to say to a devil spawn!”

Ace narrowed his eyes coldly, “It seemed you don’t like me very much. Very well, I’ll take my sweet time dismantling you. You ought to be made with some extremely rare treasures. Unless, of course, you submit to me.” Although this sword’s words were quite hurtful, and it might be stating a fact, it still has more knowledge than Ace, and it was also connected with this formation plate. So, he wanted to see if he could separate it and then maybe tame it somehow. Furthermore, the two treasures with it also did not seem ordinary, so there was even more reason to dismantle it unless he got the method to use this formation plate. “You wish Heaven’s Stealer! Following you means only certain destruction, and I’m not afraid of death!” The voice sneered, filled with arrogance. “We’ll see about that.” Ace scoffed and took out a treasure box before putting this formation inside, sealing it, and then burying it in a barren corner of the thief’s space. Ace then looked at the empty underground space and couldn’t help but sigh. He was still feeling mixed emotions about what had just happened, especially after he heard about the sword’s words. It was quite clear that he wasn’t liked by others. Maybe the union’s founder was a special case, or he was just using him to awaken whatever was hiding within his inheritance. Furthermore, he wasn’t going to believe every word the sword said; for all he knew, it was only spouting nonsense to save its own skin or its owner’s.

Whatever the case was, Ace knew he needed to move forward, or he’d really die, and he wasn’t ready for it. So, he covered himself in dismantle Qi and opened the mission panel to see the rewards of this mission. =====

Looking at the rewards, Ace was content, and the new thing among them was the All Law Elixir. Although its description was subtle, it was still enough to show its magical properties and rarity. With all those new pills and this elixir, he was now confident in raising all his skills and laws to the limit in a short time. Ace didn’t open the shop right away because the next mission was already upon him, and he read it gravely. =====

-Heaven’s Stealer Mission: Embarking the Path of Heaven’s Stealer!

-Punishment: Death

(NOTE: There is no reward for completing Prerequisites.)

===== Ace’s expression sank, seeing the last prerequisite because he knew those skills were not so simple, and they would take a massive amount of time to cultivate. But then he thought about how he now had the avatar of holy twilight to comprehend laws, so it might not be too bad. ’10 years, huh?’ He mused that this time was also enough for the house members to break into higher levels, and even Eva would be able to come out. Although he had never cultivated for ten years straight, he knew he needed this time to absorb all the insights he had gathered in all these years, especially the laws. His skills also need refinement. Maybe it was a chance for him to stop and rest for a while as well. Furthermore, this was Heaven’s Secret Condition, so it was quite clear that this condition would be the final, and he needed to be fully prepared. Thinking at this point, Ace becomes relaxed, and then he finally opens the system shop to see the new item. =====

Ace was surprised to see this peculiar sword path cultivation technique. It was the second technique that System had ever put up for sale in the shop, and the last one was the very foundation of his sword style. Furthermore, he didn’t know if there were Secret Cultivation Techniques as well since it was the first time he had heard or seen them. Still, he was glad that he got it since he could use it further depending on his own understanding of the sword path and go even further in developing his Eternal Thief’s Sword System! At this moment, Ace suddenly frowned as his other vision observed something, and soon, his expression changed, turning flabbergasted!
