Eternal Thief

Chapter 956  Entering the Forbidden Radiation Sea

After Ace got the information about the Forbidden Radiation Sea, he instantly contacted the house members and told them about this discovery. Even they think that the answer really lies past the forbidden radiation sea, so they all head towards it and agree to meet Ace. If it was anyone else, they might not be able to cross it, but it was a different story for Ace. Qi radiation didnʼt affect Ace because of his heavenly Qi, so only he could cross it, and he was leaving his avatar here so he could retreat anytime if he felt threatened.

As for the forbidden boundary in the endless sea, he didnʼt dare to go there because he still thought it was the place where that terrifying existence was locked, mentioned by the sword. In the meantime, he enjoyed his time with Eva and also raised his remaining skills and laws to the peak. Of all the skills, his main focus was the Absolute Pick Pocket and the Art of Mind Stealing. After he reached the third realm, the Bronze Treasure Hunter in the Art of Mind Stealing, the fourth to nine realms were opened. They were named Silver Thievish Hand, Permanent Thievish Silver Hand, Silver Treasure Hunter, Golden Thievish Hand, Permanent Thievish Golden Hand, and Golden Treasure Hunter, respectively. As for the final tenth realm of the Art of Mind Stealing, it was still locked, which was quite shocking. The three silver realms of the Art of Mind Stealing would let Ace infiltrate and search the inner part of the knowledge sea and steal long-term memory permanently. To compete in this realm, he not only needs the law of psyche to be 99.99%, but he also needs another law, the law of [Oblivious], to be at least 49.99%. Lastly, the Golden realms of the Art of Mind Stealing will directly let Ace infiltrate the core area of the knowledge sea and steal something called an essential memory, like a name was an essential memory!

But to comprehend the peak of the golden realm, the Golden Treasure Hunter realm, he needed not only the laws of [Psyche] and [Oblivious] to 99.99% comprehension but also another law at 99.99%. The law of [Devour]. Only after mastering these laws would the final realm be opened, and he still had a long way to go. But as long as he understands the complete Art of Mind Stealing, no one would be able to escape his gasps as long as they donʼt have protection higher than his law comprehension. Furthermore, this special art worked wonders with Soul Probe and also provided him insights into it, and thatʼs why he had powerful control over it. Lastly, the absolute pick-pocket was directly connected with the law of space, and the more he comprehended this law, the more his understanding of this skill increased, and it was like a bottomless pit. Another thing worth mentioning was that with the help of Dark Law Sea Refinement and the True Soul Law Refinement, both his Martial Space and Soul Space were now World Size and Corporeal State. Which increased his martial and soul Qi reserves a hundred times, and right now, his thief sense could cover 500 miles of radiation because of Corporeal State, and his soul and martial foundation were as perfect as they could be and unshakable!

He was also putting the Heaven Splitting Sword on hold because he wanted to increase his thievish skills to the limit since they were going to be absolutely necessary for what was to come.

Moreover, this secret cultivation techniqueʼs requirements to enter its first realm were simply too absurd, and Ace didnʼt even know how to achieve them.

Anyhow, afterward, he only needed to get to the peak of the eighth realm, and he needed to find resources of the same level. Grade-8 Qi stones and Qi crystals didnʼt exist in the ten continents so that he couldnʼt find any lodes of them, and he was unwilling to use his other treasures. So, he was hoping to find something in the Mortal Sky Heart Empire, or he had to steal the entire heaven to reach the ninth stage of the eighth realm. Just like that, three years passed, and Ace had traveled far away from the ten continents. He had encountered many islands. Some were barren, and some had life. They also encounter many sea beasts, but Cyrus takes care of them with pleasure while Eva accompanies Ace, and she seems to really like this peaceful venture. However, today, the ship was stopped because in front of them was something like a gray radiation mist, and they couldnʼt see the end of it. Even the sky beyond it was hidden. ”Do you think we arrived at that point?” Eva asked as she was also told about the Forbidden Radiation Sea, and this place seemed to match the criteria. They had encountered many Qi radiation regions, but they were no problem for them, yet the mist in front of them gave even Eva a sense of danger. Ace looked at the gray mist, which seemed to restrict his thief sense. Furthermore, the live fate map compass dark golden compass point was pointing directly into this region, which could only mean his fortune was in that place or beyond it. So, at least, he was on the right track. Nonetheless, it was still filled with unknowns, but the fate map made that area gray, which also meant it was still safe for him to enter. ”Letʼs travel around it and see if it is the boundary that Pen mentioned or not. If it ends, then this means we are still not there. Furthermore, I still needed to bring Noa and others with me, so we need to wait for them.” Ace solemnly said as he didnʼt dare to be careless, leaving his house members behind. They needed to be with him for the mission, or they will die. Eva nodded, she didnʼt have any objection, and they started to travel around the boundary of that gray mist. However, even after an entire month, they didnʼt find any end to it, and it was really like a wall, which made Ace even more sure that this was indeed the right place. So, he decided to stop and contact the others and told them he was waiting for them just outside the radiation wall. They would eventually find him if they voyaged beside it. The first to find him was Winter, and when she saw Eva, she was surprised since she was under the impression she was still cultivating. She also knew about the relationship between Ace and her, so she wasnʼt surprised. On the contrary, she was quite interested in Aceʼs woman and wanted to know how strong she was besides her beauty. But she didnʼt pick up a fight and started to report her finding on the way here, and Eva also remained unperturbed but secretly measured this woman. The next person who arrived was Freya, a few months later than Winter, and the reason was she had found a very strange ruin and even a treasure there. Lastly, Noa arrives a week after Freya, but unlike Winter and Freya, it is her first time meeting with Eva, and she is even more shocked when she finds she is Aceʼs wife. Furthermore, Eva seemed to be overly interested in her, which made Ace smile wryly, and he also felt slightly guilty when he sensed a hint of indignation from Noa. In the end, he sent them all back to the thiefʼs space for bounding since they canʼt travel in the radiation like him and let them sort out things among themselves. He knows Eva could handle it well, especially in the case of Noa. Afterward, with unyielding resolve, Ace flew into the thick radiation mist, hoping to find his target!
