Eternal Thief

Chapter 802 The Heavenly Arrays (2)

=====

[Host has come in contact with the Heavenly Arrays!]

[Heavenly Formation Coins are now available in System Shop: Treasure Section!]

[Directive: Please purchase the Heavenly Formation Coins to Unlock the Array Section of the Heavenly Rune Crafter Panel and start with the Heavenly Arrays!]

===== Ace was startled when he saw the notification, but his surprise didn’t last long because the information related to the Heavenly Formation Coins was in the very beginning of the fundamentals of array crafting!

The fundamentals of array crafting were vastly different from the traditional array crafting that Ace knows of because it was the Heavenly Array Crafting. For starters, he needed the Heavenly Formation Coins, not formation plates, to ‘craft’ the heavenly arrays.

Furthermore, unlike talismans, array and formation could be used as long as their power source didn’t run out, and the Heavenly Arrays were the same. It was just that the method to form a Heavenly Array was something completely different!

With a wildly beating heart, Ace quickly opened the system shop’s other section, which just got a new item!

===== [System Shop: Treasure Section (1 NEW)]

[Heavenly Formation Coins: Grade-9 Runic Soul Treasure]

-Available: 9

-Price: 5 Million Thief Points (Per Coin)

=====

’45 Million TP for all of them?’ Ace frowned, seeing the absurd price, but he knew if he wanted to go further with Heavenly Arrays, he needed those coins and all nine of them, not one less.

Furthermore, those coins were grade-9 treasure which made them as precious as his thievish soul cord!

So, taking a huge breath, Ace bought all nine coins!

=====

Right at this moment, something seemed to be opened in his mind, and profound knowledge of the heavenly arrays started to enter his knowledge sea.

Ace knew he couldn’t stay in the open, so he quickly found an empty room and sat down cross-legged and immersed in that vast knowledge. He didn’t even have time to look for those coins he spent so much TP for.

After an unknown time passed, Ace finally opened his eyes, shining with a profound light. The next moment, he flipped his hand, and a nine inches pitch black disc appeared.

On top of this disc was carved the vivid thief symbol, while on the other side was a hooded head. Ace’s lips curled up slightly as he poured heavenly Soul Qi into this disc.

An ethereal golden sheen started to appear on the disc, and Ace felt a strong connection established with this disc, just like the Thievish Soul Cord.

The next moment, he issued a command with a thought. The dark disc suddenly started to crack and hovered above his hand. Then like a puzzle, the dark disc was disassembled into nine small pentagon pieces, which were exactly like Ace’s heavenly talisman coins.

The only difference was those coins were exempt from any marking and completely blank, like pristine jades. They were the Heavenly Formation Coins!

‘I’ve received nine heavenly array rune symbols, and all I need to do is to craft those array symbols on these nine coins with heavenly soul Qi! Afterward, I need to learn how to arrange those symbols with these coins in different array patterns to form a heavenly array. ‘There are 999 lesser combinations which can form in 999 lesser heavenly arrays in this fundament manual. I’m missing the manuals for the 99 middle combinations forming 99 middle arrays and 9 upper combinations for 9 upper heavenly arrays. ‘Once I gasp all the combinations, then no matter how large the area is, I can arrange these coins into heavenly arrays on a moment’s notice at will and keep them active as long as I have heavenly soul Qi. I should’ve bought them long ago!’ Ace felt bitter when he thought about how much trouble he had gone through when he could’ve avoided them if he just had made this decision sooner.

Nevertheless, he was far more excited than bitter since the heavenly arrays were going to raise his arsenal like never before. Furthermore, because of the Heavenly Formation Coins, he got knowledge about 99 middle and 9 upper combinations as well, which were missing in this manual.

Lastly, the Heavenly Rune Crafter Ranks above the 12 tiers were also revealed, there were actually 10 Grades in Heavenly Rune Crafter Ranks, and each grade has Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced levels!

Now, Ace was extremely eager to get his hands on those two manuals as well, but he knew it depended on the system. So, he didn’t dwell on it as he first needed to craft the nine heavenly array rune symbols on those coins and then comprehend the 999 combinations.

Furthermore, he needed to understand those nine symbols to craft them on those coins just like the heavenly talismans. So even if he had those other two manuals, he didn’t have the time to learn them.

But it could be avoided with the system’s help, so he quickly opened the heavenly rune crafter panel. He wanted to learn a particular combination as fast as he could because that could help him with his current predicament. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

‘Thought so…’ Ace thought, looking at the directive, ‘I should get on right to it since opening that combination is more important than anything else. I’ll deal with my skills when I’m done with this. It won’t take long with my current understanding. I only need about three months to comprehend and craft these runes!’
