Eternal Thief

Chapter 1115 Huge Difference!

Ace used the twilight traverse to increase his speed to the limit as he made his way toward the exit of the tunnel that Cyrus had just opened. Although he was curious about the identity of that mysterious ‘Heaven’s Advocate’ and how things might turn out for him once he met the overseers, he had no plan of wasting this chance to slip away while that guy drew the overseers’ attention.

However, for some reason, the name ‘Heaven’s Advocate’ gave him a very bad feeling because of the ‘Heaven’ in it, just like the title Heaven’s Stealer. Nonetheless, he might never hear or see this person again, so he put this in the back of his mind and focused on the path ahead.

Ace finally saw the light on the other side, and he was elated since this meant he was finally out of these damn mines, and his first experience after his ascension was extremely dangerous. When Ace stepped out of the tunnel, he quickly halted because this tunnel was high above the ground. Even more shocking, a few miles away was a web of unique buildings spread throughout a vast mountain range.

‘Is that the Sect Alliance City?’ Ace wondered as he saw the unique structures far ahead. The people moving around the city appeared to be ants, and their population seemed quite dense.

‘Well, I guess this is to be expected since the city was built around the mines to keep them protected and barricaded from others. But I had to admit, this city built around this mountain range is the biggest city I have seen, and those unique structures are vastly different from the Mortal Sky Heaven. I can also feel the spirit Qi in the air with the elemental Qi, but the sky seems sam… what?!’ Ace’s thought process suddenly halted when he looked towards the bright, sunny sky.

The first thing that shocked him was the sky was no longer golden but blue, and the biggest difference was on the far horizon. There were actually two suns instead of just one!

Ace was skeptical at the grand sight of two suns, now it became evident that he was no longer in the Mortal Sky Heaven but in the Mortal Ascension Heaven!

After a little while, Ace finally averted his eyes and pulled a wry smile, ‘Nothing is the same here. I guess I better start my journey. But first, I have to leave this darn place. Since I can’t utilize the mask, I have to use other treasures to lie low until the system is done upgrading.

‘But I have to found a place which no one found curious. Especially now that those overseers have entered the fray, and once they found these tunnels made by Cyrus, they will investigate more thoroughly.’

After Ace decides on his new move, he tries to fly downward using his twilight Qi. However, Ace was again startled when he found that he could no longer levitate, and he felt as if his elemental Qi was being suppressed by laws or the spirit Qi.

A Law Awareness Realm cultivator could levitate and fly in the sky using the elemental Qi in the Mortal Sky Heaven because there was no elemental Qi present there, and its laws were also limited to the elemental state, so in the seventh realm, a cultivator would escape the boundary of those laws and no longer feel any restrains.

However, in the Mortal Ascension Heaven, since the laws were far more limited, only a wind-type elemental state cultivator could barely fly with extreme limitation when they reached the eighth realm.

The only cultivators who could freely fly in this place were law-state cultivators, and even they would feel the restraints of the laws and could only fly for a very limited time by manipulating the surrounding laws. These restrictions will naturally become less as the higher they climb the realms of law state.

Anyhow, Ace was again in another strange situation he didn’t think he would enter, and his experience after ascension kept getting worse. Furthermore, he started to notice just how much he relied on the system, and all of his cultivation was built upon the system, making him grimace.

Nonetheless, Ace knew he was far too deep into this, and the way out was probably impossible. But he didn’t let this minor setback discourage him. After all, he knew without the system, he would’ve never been what he is today, and it was also the price for having superior power over others!

“Can you take us on the ground?” Ace then asked for Cyrus help since it was far better than climbing down himself or try jumping down hundred of meters and causing a meaningless commotion.

Cyrus looked at Ace with a hint of surprise before he quickly nodded with a playful expression, “Of course! Do you want to fly with Cyrus up high?”

Ace looked at him strangely, as if he could tell the little guy was thinking about playing around again. “Now is not the time, but in the future, I promise.”

“Alright.” Cyrus was a little dejected but still complied with Ace and spread his wings, which were around the length of Ace’s shoulders.

Then Ace felt a warm, invisible aura enveloping him, and the next moment, Cyrus flapped his inky wings, and they both lifted off from the ground and started to descend. ‘His law of fire is probably his prime law, and it’s on a whole other level than fire law I had seen…’ Ace thought as he wondered about his own prime law and what kind of effect it would have on him.

Once they both reacted to the ground surrounded by the forest, Ace didn’t head towards those buildings he saw from above. Instead, he took out a grade-8 illusionary formation plate, attached it to his chest, and altered his eye-catching appearance into an ordinary one.

Now, as long as law state cultivators don’t inspect him personally, no one will be able to tell any difference, or someone will touch his face. He also used the formation to put an illusion on Cyrus and make him invisible. As long as Cyrus doesn’t leave a 100-mile radius around him, no one will be able to see him.

Although this method was quite crude and burned both Qi stones and his twilight Qi, he had no choice but to use it until he found a place to lie low. Once he can use his treasures and Qi, he doesn’t have to worry about anything else.

At this moment, when Ace was about to start moving, Cyrus suddenly looked up and exclaimed, “Big bro, there are many powerful people going towards the same place we just came from. Look, they are in that strange bird!”

Ace was startled and quickly looked up. He was astounded when he saw an imposing gray structure flying towards the mines, leaving behind a trail of ethereal light, which Cyrus had just called a ‘strange bird’. Ace instantly recognized the structure as it matched with something he had seen quite often.

‘A ship that can sail in the sky!?’
