Eternal Thief



The Sun Chasing Sword Art was a lower sky breaker sword art, which was split into seven sword styles. Each sword style for each cultivation realm from 1st to 7th. 

Each sword style was then further split into three profound sword moves, and all 21 moves combined were called the true Sun Chasing Sword Art.

Ace, at this movement, was in the Sword Stealing Time state, and he activated it after remembering the entire book. Now, he was grasping the true essence of the 21 moves. Furthermore, he was in this state for over twenty minutes, which also proved his theory that the higher the skill he memorized, the more sword-stealing time he would get. 

However, this was also a fact that the higher the skill he wanted to grasp, the more time he needed in this state. Just like right now, he was still only in the process of comprehending the 13th move, and he was nowhere done, and he had no idea when the time would end. 

Nevertheless, Ace was fully absorbed in grasping this powerful sword art. While comprehending it, Ace noticed that this art also seemed to contain the principles of life plexuses.

This only made him more fascinated by this sword art, and he wanted to ask the Union Leader if he had created it himself, and if he did, he wanted to know on what foundation. 

This also made him realize that the Union Leader was a living treasure trove and he should try to reap more benefits if he could or steal them all if he got the chance. Although this thought process was dangerous and almost impossible to achieve, a man should have dreams!

After thirty minutes, Ace finally snapped out of his dazzle state and smiled sharply, 'I was only in sword stealing time state for 30 minutes, and it got activated with only one lower sky breaker skill as well. But I only managed to comprehend half of it at this time. 

'This could only mean two things, either my comprehension capabilities are too low right now or my power realm. These factors might also further affect this strange ability of my sword cores…' 

Ace mulled before he stowed the Sun Chasing Sword Art away and finally stood up from his position. There were no more sword skills left in this place, and he knew he should also get going and start his plan about the secret realm. 

The entire knowledge and comprehension he gained in this month over the sword path were more than he had gained in fifteen years as a result.

Ace could feel he had encountered some sort of barrier at the 24%, and it seemed to be directly related to the feeling he kept having about being able to comprehend something, but when he was about to grasp, it would slip out of his hand. 

So, he decided to inquire about this subtly to his Master the next time he met him. 

"Union Guardian, how is the state outside?" White inquired at this moment. He was still somewhat perplexed about dealing with all those people who would approach him, but he knew it was unavoidable. 

"Peaceful. Lord Jr. didn't need to worry about the matter of someone disturbing you again if that's what you're concerned about. Lord Union Leader has taken care of it, and now you can concentrate on your studies." The Union Guardian's impassively replied. 

'Oh?' Ace was astonished when he heard this unexpected response, 'It seemed I was worried about nothing.' 

"If that's the case, then please send my gratitude to my Master for taking this minor matter into consideration. Right now, I would like to head toward the cultivation tower in the outer sun domain and give it a try, and it's also a good place to practice my knowledge." White respectfully stated. 

"If that is the case, then I would bid Lord Jr. the best of luck in your training. I hope you'll achieve the greatest result expected from you." The Union Guardian sincerely stated.

"Thank you, I'll try not to embarrass myself." White smiled wryly before he left toward the exit of the 20th floor and directly headed toward the first-floor exit. 

This month was quite productive, and there were only two left before the secret realm would open, so Ace knew he needed to make them count. 

As he was walking down, he found that the library was still empty, which could only mean the barrier activated by his command was still active. 

Just when he exited the main doors of the library, the translucent barrier around the library burst open like a bubble. 

Outside, there was no one present, just as the Union Guardian stated, and Ace couldn't be more pleased and directly took out the grade-7 flying sword gifted by his master, the Dark Feather Sword. 

With a thought, the black sword was enveloped by white Qi and then came alive like a spirit and danced in the air according to his will before it levitated right before his feet, and with a faint smile, he stepped on its blade.

Right now, he knew hundreds of flying sword skills and turned this skill into his own, and now he was confident that he could now even fly over a sword without even needing a special flying sword. 

But it had yet to be seen since he still didn't want to show his true sword skills, but only a very little portion of it befitting his image of a genius. 

The next moment, the flying sword swiftly flashed toward the sky, leaving behind a black-and-white glow. 

Ace controlled its speed up to peak soul river cultivator despite the fact he could probably go as fast as a peak soul embryo realm with his worldly light Qi and as fast as a middle-stage soul manifestation realm if he gave it his all. 

But he knew if he gave it his all, this sword, despite being in grade-7, won't last much longer, which he didn't to happen with this new flying sword which was quite to his liking. 

At this moment, when Ace was only halfway toward the border between outer and inner sun domains, he suddenly felt something and halted his flying sword in the middle of the air.

Thereupon, another flying sword appeared right in front of him, and a tall man came into his view, clad in the purple robes of a High Union Elder!
