Eternal Thief

Chapter 1268 Preparations for King Sect!

Vincent was startled when he heard Aceʼs conditions, especially the last one. After all, with the wealth behind the bank, he couldʼve asked for anything, and with his talent, Vincent knew the bank probably wouldnʼt reject him.

Furthermore, Vincent also knew what Soul Gold was. After all, with the AIG Sectʼs inheritance, they had many records of spirit metals, and Soul Gold was also recorded in those records, which was a top-grade spirit metal.

But Vincent didnʼt know how he knew about it or why he needed so much of it. Lastly, the Time-Space Segment was something that he didnʼt even know about.

Nonetheless, Vincent didnʼt care much since he was moved by Aceʼs generously and felt gratified. After all, despite everything, he still used this precious chance to give him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that every Ascension Guardian dreamt of.

Not to mention, he still wanted to stay here and learn to forge from them when the bank clearly didnʼt lack high-tier forging inheritance.

On the other hand, everyone else was extremely envious of Vincent, the Grand Elders even more so, because if the Deputy Guardian agreed to Aceʼs demands, Vincentʼs position in the sect would become unshakable.

This is not because of that cultivation technique, since even if Vincent had it, he still needed to rely on himself to cross the law tribulation, and that technique would only increase his chances by 25% to 30%. But what would make them fear Vincent would be Ace if he got accepted in a king

sect.

After all, no one in their right mind would dare offend a disciple of a King Sect, and even the status of the AIG Sect would soar. As long as Ace lives, the AIG Sect will have a strong deterrence against many powerful people.

The Deputy Guardian was startled for a moment when he heard Aceʼs conditions before he narrowed his eyes and asked, ”I can agree to your second and third conditions, but the first one is out of the question. The AIG Sect might have the edge when it comes to forging, but they canʼt compare to the King Sectʼs inheritances.

”The highest level of spirit forger here is only 6-Star, and with your talent, youʼll soon catch up to them. But in our sect, there are 8-Star Spirit Forgers, Spirit Rune Crafters, and Spirit Alchemists, and Iʼm pretty sure you are a dual-runic talent. So, staying here will not only slow you down and restrict your cultivation but also put your life in danger. So, I canʼt agree with your first condition. Change it to something else!”

Ace was startled, not because Deputy Guardian rejected his first condition but because he thought this guy would reject or try to barter with him on the second condition.

After all, he already had some understanding of how rare and precious the Soul Gold and Time Space Segment were, while the beast core of the Lighting Wyrm wasnʼt as precious as those materials, especially the Time Space Segment, which was a natural treasure born in the depths of chaotic space current and could be used to forge treasures of time and space elements. But the Deputy Guardian didnʼt even think about it and agreed to give him the remaining materials he needed to upgrade the Eternal Thief Fate Compass!

This only proved how rich and unfathomable the bankʼs wealth was, and after hearing about all those terrifying existences in the sect, their prowess was even more startling.

Ace was finally tempted since he wanted to stay here to plunder the Forger Abyss and get that inheritance hidden. But now that Deputy Guardian had revealed the resources behind it, the Forger Abyss seemed meaningless.

However, Ace wonʼt blindly believe the Deputy Guardianʼs every word since once he left the AIG Sect, he would be completely at the bankʼs mercy, and the cultivators in the bank werenʼt something that Ace could contend against.

Before going there, he needed a foolproof plan to ensure his safety, and the easiest way was to send only his Avatar of Holy Twilight, not his main body.

Seeing that Ace didnʼt speak and was in deep thought, no one said anything, but they were all looking at him and waiting for his answer since this decision would have a huge impact on everyone present in this place.

Vincent wanted to say something but held himself back. He sighed again, realizing he was not. qualified to speak since it was Aceʼs decision. He already knew that this was an opportunity that could only be found by luck.

After Ace thought things through, he showed hesitation before replying, ”Alright, Iʼll go with you and keep my last condition for now. But before that, I want to enter the Forger Abyss one last time.ʼ

”Why?” The Deputy Guardian asked again, hinting at frustration. He really didnʼt understand what this brat was thinking or why he had so many demands.

”Just something I want to do before I leave. Donʼt worry, it wonʼt take much time. Ace did not intend to explain as he looked at Vincent and weakly asked, ”Can you please let me enter the Forger Abyss, teacher?”

Vincent frowned and said uncertainly, ”Itʼs not a big deal, but with your current condition, I donʼt think itʼs a good idea!”

The Forger Abyss was the foundation of the AIG Sect, and everyone knew about it. Only the sectʼs disciples were allowed in, and since Ace had done so much for the sect, Vincent wouldnʼt stop him even if he wanted to go there daily. Besides, he was already a legacy token holder, so his request didnʼt seem strange since the forger abyss was a perfect place to sharpen oneʼs forging skills.

But his request was still unusual, especially now that he had gone through Soul Search and his aura was extremely weak.

”Just take me there; I know what Iʼm doing” He resolutely replied.

After all, he needed a place to separate his body from his avatar, and he couldnʼt do that while the Deputy Guardian was around.

So, the Forger Abyss was the perfect place. Once he succeeded, all he needed to do was escape the AIG Sect. Since the Forger Abyss was between the outer and inner sect courts, and with Aceʼs current cultivation and means, he could escape easily.

He also really wanted to try taking the next trail of the Forger Abyss since his cultivation and forging skills had improved dramatically.

Vincent didnʼt say anything and gave Ace a deep glance before he looked at the Deputy Guard, who was clearly against it.

But Vincent didnʼt have a good opinion of this guy, so he didnʼt bother to ask for his opinion. Instead, he placed his hand on Georgeʼs shoulder and vanished.

”Letʼs go!” The Deputy Guardian snorted coldly.

He had already locked on Vincent since Vincent was too weak in front of his law sense. He already knew where they were going but was still unhappy that Vincent didnʼt ask for his permission.

Still, since this was a small matter, the Deputy Guardian had no reason to make things difficult for them, and Ace had already agreed to go with him after this small detour.

So, with the bank managers still bewildered by this entire event, the Deputy Guard followed Vincent and Ace.

The other in the hall looked at each other before quickly heading towards the Forger Abyss!
