Eternal Thief



Ace stepped out of his cave residence as White, but in truth, his true appearance was now restored, and he was now using his grade-9 treasure to keep White's appearance. Although White was still Ace, their appearances were quite different.

The biggest difference was now his natural charm was gone, which only appeared once he showed his true face, which sometimes was not a good thing since he became too eye-catching. 

Ace then flipped his hand, and a one-meter-long silver sword appeared, which was none other than the flying sword he received after passing the test. This sword was an 8-star weapon, and it was engraved with special ruins, which allowed it to fly using nothing but Qi. 

With great interest, Ace pours his light element worldly soul Qi he was using as White all this time. Those guys didn't even notice that his Qi already had an element because his control over worldly Qi was now meticulous.

The fly sword hummed faintly before it expanded to 1.5-meter length and 6 inches wide. He then let the hilt, and as he remembered from Zarker's memories and then used his Qi to control the sword as he hovers in the air. 

Within five minutes, the flying sword was now moving around Ace like an agile snake, and the more he got the hang of it, the more his eye brightened up. 

'What if I was able to control normal swords using my Qi? Or turn my sword intent into a flying sword. Won't I be able to fly on it as well? 

'Furthermore, this flying sword control is even more deadly in a fight. If I can control my sword at will, no one will be able to see it coming. This kind of technique greatly suits my style. 

'I'm sure the union has some like-minded people like me. After all, they also have a Sword in their name, which means the union might have an inheritance related to the sword path. I might make progress in my sword path here.' Ace mused. 

At this moment, the flying sword appeared right below his feet, and he stepped on it without hesitation. With his thought, he started to control the sword as he started to take flight slowly. 

After getting the feeling, he started to increase the Qi output the sword speed increased. But he didn't dare to use too much Qi, or he might draw some suspicions if he were able to find a treasure meant for a middle-stage foundation-building realm at full capacity right after acquiring it. 

Now, that fate map was no longer black, but it was still red, and he couldn't keep using the unseen thief ability with its high Qi consumption rate, especially when there was no need for it. 

With his flying sword, Ace's journey, which took him over an hour, erased down to ten minutes, and he started to fly high up on the mountain toward the cultivation sector where the library lies. 

Now, he was more confident in keeping himself safe, so he was planning to cause some commotion in the union. 

As Ace was going upward, he saw the second-class cave resident, which was not as cramped as the third-class, while the first-class residents had 10-meter entrances, and they were at least a hundred meters apart from each other. 

But Ace didn't go toward that area since it was a forbidden area for someone like him. 

"Fellow Brother, are you new?" When Ace was close to the boundary of the cultivation sector, a voice sounded from behind. 

Ace then looked behind and saw it was a 5'8 young human which long black hair, above-average looks, and a slim build. He was emitting an aura of early stage foundation-building realm, and he quickly flew right beside Ace with his superior speed. 

"I'm indeed new. Nice to meet you." Ace nodded in acknowledgment. This young man was the first human he saw after appearing in this place. 

The young man smiled amiably as he introduced himself, "It seemed you are not from those elder lineages, so you ended up in here. My name is Clifford, and it's nice to see a new face of our race." 

"My name is White." Ace nodded. 

"It's matched your appearance." Clifford chuckled in a friendly manner, "So, when do you come here?" 

"Today." 

"What?" Clifford was dumbfounded, and he looked at Ace's flying sword and couldn't help but laugh, "Hah, brother White you sure like to joke. Just pretend I didn't ask if you don't want to answer. Are you going to the cultivation sector to try your luck? Which company do you belong to?" 

Ace knew this guy won't believe him because if he came here today, then his flying sword mastery shouldn't be at such a degree. But he didn't try to explain himself either. 

"I'm going to the library to exchange for a cultivation technique. I have no intention of joining any company yet." He replied. 

Clifford felt Ace's aura, and he knew he was just a peak soul gates realm junior, so he knew it made sense that he hadn't joined any company yet. Even a small size company won't show interest in a soul gates junior.

The small-size companies only let foundation-building realm cultivators join them, and their members ranged from 10 to 1,000, and they didn't have their own territory in the cultivation sector. 

Then there were mid-size companies. Only those with a small territory could call themselves mid-size companies, and their member ranged from 1,000 to 10,000, and they had mostly union scholars in their ranks. 

Lastly, the big-size companies were controlled by Union Instructors, and their member ranged from 10,000 to 100,000 or even more. These kinds of companies dominate the resources of the cultivation sector, and joining them was too difficult. 

Especially for humans who didn't have a big company and their high-ranking members were all forced to join big companies of the big three if they wanted to progress. 

This was the stone-cold fact that no human was proud of, but what could they do?

"How about this, Brother White? If you want, I can introduce you to my small company. Our leader is a very gentle person. He might not reject you. We, humans, should stick together in the cultivation sector and look after each other." Clifford seriously stated. 

Ace looked at Clifford and smiled as he knew this guy didn't have any malicious intentions, but he wasn't here to play around, so he rejected politely.

"I'll think about it after I break through into the foundation-building realm. This way, it would be easier for your company to accept me, and you won't lose any face." 

Clifford was startled as he didn't expect someone at a Soul Gates realm could reject a small company invitation so casually. He looked at White in a new light. 

He smiled and nodded, "You can contact me in the second-class resident no XXX at any time you want to join my company. I'll wait for you."

Ace merely chuckled and nodded without replying. If Clifford had known he was talking with someone who was going to stir an unimaginable storm in the Union, no one knew what his reaction would be!
