Eternal Thief



After hearing Freya's reply, Ace didn't pry into the matters of her dark grimoire. As long as she didn't impose on the thief's house, he won't interfere with her actions. 

"Alright, I can feel you are about to break into the Soul Embryo Manifestation Realm very soon, and it's seemed it has something to do with your race's grimoire absorption." Ace coolly commented. 

"You're as keen as ever, Leader." Freya giggled charmingly, "So, you're not here to just check on little me, right? Because if you are, then I'm really flatter." Stated Freya coquettishly.

Ace wasn't in the mood to indulge her, so he stated his purpose for contacting her, "As long as you're in this place, I know you're fine. The purpose of my bothering you is I want you to use your abilities to infiltrate into a very dangerous place. You just need to do your thing, like collecting information, finding weaklings, and sowing discord when it needs it. Of course, you have to do it while remaining in the thief's house." 

Freya's eyes flashed with a peculiar glint, "Do you reached the azure wind continent?" 

A hint of surprise flashed past his eyes, "It seemed Winter has informed you about her current task."

"Well, it's only natural for us fellow members to look after each other and keep tabs on their wellbeing. She's the only one who is not present in the thief's house right now, so it's only natural I would give her a call now and then to inquire about her situation." Freya smilingly stated.

"Fair enough." Ace didn't pry further and said solemnly, "No, I still haven't reached the azure wind continent. On the contrary, I have stumbled upon an even more mysterious place called the Sun and Moon Sword Union…" 

Ace then divulged how he stumbled upon the union hidden deep within a thick fog of Qi radiation somewhere in the endless sea. He needed her to know everything so she knew what she would be doing and how dangerous it was going to be. 

Freya was completely flabbergasted by this unexpected turn of events. Still, she was equally fascinated by the mysterious lands hidden under the Qi radiation and where all the races of the world live together. 

"Hey, we are here. Tsk, tsk, you're going to suffer with your lack of attention." The demon's voice rang at this moment, drawing Ace's attention. 

Ace then told Freya to wait and absorb all the information before he returned. 

Right now, they were standing in front of a ten-story gray building with an ancient design while the black Qi barrier was on both sides like walls. He can't see anything on the other side of the Qi walls, and the only way in is this building. 

Ace instantly knew from this demon's memory that this building was the registration building of the living sector where he would be allocated a resident in this place. 

"What is this place?" Ace pretended to be marveled at the strange scenery. 

The demon chuckled with a hint of disdain and said, "Heh, I guess for you little bumpkins from the mortal domain, this place is really like dreams. This is the entrance barrier to the living sector of the outer sun domain. And the area between the sun gates and this place is like an entrance courtyard. 

"The true domains lie behind this barrier, and the only way inside or outside is four entrance passes around the foot of the sun mountains, and there are also four sun domain gates around these found passes. Each sun gate is separated from the other by at least a hundred miles apart. 

"You have entered from western sun gates, which are closest to the moon domain, so this could only mean there should be a female mortal passing the entrance test with you. 

"Anyway, if you ever leave the living sector for any mission and then want to return, then I would suggest never touching that black wall, or you will turn to ashes within a single breath. 

"Oh, and if you lose your union token and then try to enter or exit this building, you will also be punished heavily. Only with a union token can you pass this building, and it's not free either. 

"Only during missions required to exit this pass can you enter or exit without paying Union merits. Now keep your union token in your hand, and let's go. Since you are new, you will get your living quarters the moment you enter this building!" 

The demon explained tonelessly before he moved as he took out his union token and held it tightly. Ace does the same, and they both move toward the ancient building. 

The moment they were a few meters close to the building, their union tokens started to shine before a heavy sound of door opening rang, which came from the building in front. 

The moment the door was opened, an empty white hall appeared without any staircase or anything despite the building having ten floors. 

The demon, followed by Ace, entered the building while their token was shimmering in their hands. 

"Union Scholar, Zarker: Free Pass!" 

"Union Student, White: New entry!

"You have been allocated a 3rd class cave resident in the Union Student Living Reign, 3rd class area. Cave Resident Number XXXXXX has been registered to Union Student White. 

"Your one-time entry pass has been expended. You may enter now!" 

This voice was the same voice Ace had been hearing from the ascension stairway.

"Let's go. I'll drop you to the union student region third class area. Afterward, you are on your own." Zarker snickered as he walked toward the newly opened entrance straight ahead of them. 

Ace followed behind while he looked at the interior of the empty hall, which was as ordinary as it could get, but he knew it was far from being ordinary. Just breathing in this place gave Ace the feeling of being naked, as everything about him was on the verge of exposure. 

Without the system, he was afraid to even the content of his storage ring was completely exposed within the space of this building. 

This feeling only lasted until he exited to the other side. 

The moment Ace walked outside the building, a vast golden incline road surrounded by lush forest with tall trees appeared. The pathway leads upward on the golden mountain. 

Zarker remained dismissive as he had seen this scene too many times as he was used to it. 

So, he flipped his hand, and a long silver sword appeared in his hand before he let it go and the next moment, blue runes shone on it before it suddenly hovered in the air, straight before it slowly started to hover down until it was at the length of Zarker's feet. 

He stepped on the flying sword before the sword started to expand, turning into a broad sword. He looked at astonishing White and said, "Hope on and focus your Qi on your feet. I'm not like those Elders who could envelop you with their Qi to protect you. 

"So, you have to focus your Qi on your feet while you are flying with me, and you will remain stuck on my flying sword, or I won't be responsible if you fall to your death!" He sternly warned. 

Ace quite marveled at these flying swords from the moment he saw the blue robe youth flying over them. Now he even had one of his own, so he was planning to research them first. This was a very good means of transport, not to mention fast. 

So, he did as he was told and stepped over the broad sword, and the moment he focused his Qi on his feet, they suddenly stuck to the smooth metal surface of the blade like magnets.

Zarker then controlled the flying sword as they started flying upward on the paved golden road five meters above the ground. 

After getting the hang of standing over the flying sword using his Qi, Ace again focused on Freya, who was completely solemn. At the same time, he also paid attention to his surroundings while going toward the union student region. 

"So, what do you think?" He transmitted his voice. 

Freya was no longer playful as before as she gravely asked, "I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky since this place sounds even more terrifying than the All-Devil Continent. But it's also quite an opportunity for us. 

"I just want to make one thing clear before I would suggest something. Are you planning to robe this place or leave?" She solemnly questioned.

Ace truthfully replied, "That's the thing, actually. I received a mission that is related to this place. But my priority is still Alina. So, I want to leave this place before coming back. At that time, Winter will also be here, and she can provide even more help in this place." 

Freya remained silent for a moment as she already had some idea about how important Alina was to Ace after she had chatted with Winter. 

But she also agreed with the statement about Winter. The Faceless Thief could really do wonders in a place like Union and make this mission much easier. 

So, she said after mulling over the situation, "Do you remember about the Yin Soul Possession Technique…!"
