Ace entered Archie's cultivation chamber and activated every array and formation before he set up his own collection of protective formations.
He was currently in the family of rune crafters so, he couldn't be too careful.
After he was done, he finally sat on a comfortable praying mat and looked around. There was a rune crafter workshop, and a Qi pond in this place, as well.
Ace also felt the soul Qi density in this place was quite thick, which means there was a soul Qi collecting formation made with Soul Crystals!
Soul Crystals were abundant in Life Demon Tribe, and they even have high-grade five Soul Crystal Sources under their control. Two of them were Grade-5, and one was Grade-6, while the other two were Grade-3 and Grade-4 respectively.
Ace was even tempted to sneak into those places and absorb their grade-6 soul crystal source and one of their Qi stone veins to make his life less difficult.
However, Archie only knows about a Grade-4 Soul Crystal Source and a Grade-5 Qi stone vein under the Runic Soul Family.
But he might raise many suspicions if an entire source or vein goes dry all of a sudden, so he decided against it. He had to remain neutral as long as he could or things might turn in the wrong direction.
Besides, without an elemental orb, the EXP or SP he could collect from those sources or veins would be wasted, so it wasn't time to look for them.
He already got millions of soul crystals from Archie's storage ring, and Harvey gave him more, so he couldn't be too greedy.
After Ace calmed his mind, he flushed out a white jade scroll which has the 'Sky Sword Manual' inscribed on its smooth surface.
'I finally have time to study this jade scroll,' Ace thought with a hint of anticipation.
After he entered the royal zone, he put all this focus on his existing skills and Psyche Invasion because of the unfinished job mission and didn't touch anything he got from the life demon auction.
Now that he could finally breathe and things were moving smoothly in his preferred direction, he can finally look through the things he got from the auction.
The first thing was naturally this jade scroll, which he only read in legends, and it was related to the sword on top of it. So, he was somewhat excited since it could help him with his sword path technique if it turned out to be a sky breaker grade skill!
Ace used his Qi to activate the jade scroll, and the next moment, a line appeared in his mind, which made his eyes widen and his heart race.
'Required Element Sword Intent to learn Sky Sword'
Ace nearly laughed out loud when he saw the requirement just to open this thing and finally understood why this jade scroll was present in the auction in the first place!
'I really picked up a treasure this time!' Ace was ecstatic and even wanted to thank the person who took out the Sky Sword Manual for the auction.
If he knew it was from the Blade Demon King, who wanted to trade it with a high-level sword art for Peter, then no one knows what Ace would think.
Nevertheless, Ace won't be going to stand on ceremony, and his dark Qi suddenly turned white with a dark sheen as it engulfed the jade scroll.
The next moment, the white jade scroll suddenly trembled before it glowed in a dark hue.
However, no information infiltrates Ace's knowledge sea, but he felt his consciousness enter this jade scroll at this moment and this new experience astonished him.
'So, this is how a jade scroll store information.' Ace deemed and read the very first phase of information.
<strong>'Sky Sword - by Executioner Sky Sword'</strong>
'Executioner Sky Sword, huh? And there's even a note by this person.' Ace was quite happy after getting Sky Sword and quite interested in the person who created this technique.
Ace read the small note left by Executioner Sky Sword.
<strong>'Executioner Sky Sword: I created the Sky Sword after I entered the realm of Sword Emperor. I don't know how you got it or from where you got it, but whoever is planning to learn it, a fair warning. </strong>
<strong>'Don't Cultivate it if you're a coward and not a pure sword cultivator!'</strong>
<strong>'Besides this, if you can open it, this also means you have exceptional talent in the sword's way, so I'm content as long as you can return this sword art to its former glory. </strong>
<strong>'I might be dead when you get this Sword Law Art or leave this world, whichever the case might be, I left everything I acquired in my entire life within Sky Sword Realm, and only after passing the inheritance trails of the Sky Sword Realm will you be my true inheritance.</strong>
<strong>'This Sky Sword Manual is also a key to my inheritance trail and proof of your qualification to enter the Sky Sword Realm. </strong>
<strong>'Remember, only with nine keys will the Sky Sword Realm appear!'</strong>
Ace frowned when he was done reading this entire note left by Executioner Sky Sword and couldn't help but assumed, 'So, all in all, this guy left everything he collected in a realm name Sky Sword Realm and then scattered these nine jade scrolls, so nine people would find them and then fought with each other for his inheritance.
'He might be a big shot to possess such confidence. He might be on the death door to create his inheritance ground or some enemy might've been after him. Whichever the case is, this sounds like trouble, and I have no idea where this Sky Sword Realm is as well.
'I might go there to 'empty' that place, but not going to fight with the other eight who have this law art beside me. So, what if I'm a coward? I'm still going to comprehend this sword art!' Ace scoffed as he completely took Executioner Sky Sword's note as a wind.contemporary romance
The Sky Sword Manual was a law cultivation art that inscribed a way to combine Sword Intent with any Element Intent and create a sword core within one's Martial Space or True Soul.
There were three levels of Sky Sword.
Sky Sword Core Creation, Sky Sword Manifestation, and Sky Sword Crown. Each level has Early, Middle, High, and Perfect proficiencies.
The first level was about how to create a sky sword core within one's martial space or soul space. The second was to manifest the projection of this sky sword core outside the body. The last was creating a sword crown that could cover the entire sky!
Despite this exaggeration, Ace didn't dare to underestimate this law art and took it extremely seriously.
Before, if he thought that Executioner Sky Sword was a senile old man, now he felt this old man might be a genius among geniuses in the way of the sword.
Although these three levels were simple to describe, when it came to cultivating them, they were as complex as the sky itself.
Not only that, but he mused even a Law Awareness Realm Cultivator might not be able to learn the Early Sky Sword Creation because one required at least 75% mastery over sword law and another element law infused with sword law.
Ace laws weren't even crossed two digits yet, so he was even less qualified to learn Sky Sword.
However, even if Ace has the qualification, he can't learn this law art because it was based on a world Qi system which he didn't follow and he has both True Soul and Martial Space.
Either he can cultivate in system's techniques or create one himself.
Although he can imitate some simple skills with his different element Qis to fool others, the essence of all his techniques or skills was the Heavenly Qi!
It was probably Ace's biggest disadvantage beside the heavenly punishment in cultivating with Heavenly Qi.
Nevertheless, he never really cared about this much since he was talented enough to create his own techniques with different references.
This time wasn't any different. The Sky Sword was extremely exquisite, he wanted to create even stronger law art than the original, and if he succeeded. He will have two sky sword cores, and his sword element intent might not be limited to just the shadow element as well!
The Sky Sword has opened a whole new world of swords within Ace's mind, and his vision was no longer bonded by anything anymore.
'Executioner Sky Sword created this sword law art after becoming Sword Emperor, but I'm going to create my version of it being nothing!' Ace thought as he felt great satisfaction when he thought about the arrogant note left behind by Executioner Sky Sword.
Right when Ace retracted his half-sword intent from the Sky Sword Jade Scroll when he thought he remembered everything. The information about Sky Sword suddenly turned blurry before he completely forgot about it!
