Eternal Thief

After the 'truth' about him being the 'disciple' of the Sect Master and his Disciple Token was revealed to the Forger Masters, they all seemed to be in a hurry to leave, especially the Forger Masters of three clans except the Weston clan.

Once those five left, Forger Master Morris also left after giving Ace a warm invitation to his Spirit Space Hall and telling him, he could come to him any time if he needed anything.

Forger Master Stetson remained behind and took Ace directly to the Chief Forger Disciple District, which was in the south. Furthermore, Stetson also revealed to him that the Sect Master was actually from the Weston clan, so since he was his disciple, Ace had their backing.

Ace finally realized why these two Forger Masters were so warm to him. He unknowingly had earned the favor of the Weston clan because of his fake status.

Nonetheless, Ace found this a good thing since, with the Weston clan on his side, the three clans won't move on him openly, nor can they make things difficult.

Stetson also told him more about the Chief Hall Court and the chief disciples, and he warned him to be careful of the chief disciples of the three clans, especially the First-Ranked Chief Forger Disciple, Nathaniel Norberg.

Furthermore, Ace finally understood why everyone reacted so excessively when he showed the Nominal Legacy Disciple token of Forger Abyss. It was all because the First Rank Chief Forger Disciple had it, and he was considered a top genius of the sect.

Ace could only smile wryly. He knew things were extremely complicated for George, and if he had shone the true legacy disciple token, he wouldn't dare imagine what kind of storm this would have brought.

Still, this didn't mean he was out of danger; in fact, he knew the Norberg clan would do absolutely anything to make sure he wouldn't threaten their heir's status.

But Ace also saw this as an opportunity since the Sect Master's motives obviously revolved around him, especially since he didn't stop or make things clear when he lied about their relationship.

Now, the Weston clan was also behind him, so this means the Sect Master wanted this to happen, so Ace could cause trouble, which he was planning to do.

At this moment, Forger Master Stetson landed in a large and lavish courtyard within the rows of courtyards, with George as he said, "This is Cultivation Courtyard No.

195th, also the place you'll live until you finish your discipleship. There are other chief forger disciples living around you, and they should be either cultivating or researching spirit forging.

They won't disturb each other usually, and some of them have their own clique.

"You should make friends with Weston Clan disciples.

I'll make sure they treat you nicely. If the other clan disciples bully you, don't hesitate to give them a good thrashing.

"

Forger Master Stetson chuckled, "Oh, I guess you shouldn't have a Communication Spirit Totem yet. Here, take this one.

"

Ace accepted a palm-sized white corporeal monolith engraved with tiny golden runes and looked at Forger Master Stetson for an explanation since he didn't know what this Communication Spirit Totem was.

Stetson patiently explained, "This Communication Spirit Totem is very special, and you would only find them in second-grade sects.

It's an ascension grade-4 treasure that allowed cultivators of law status to communicate with each other. Unlike the communication cubes, this Communication Spirit Totem didn't need a corresponding cube.

"You just need to imprint their unique spiritual mark on it, and then anyone with a Communication Spirit Totem would be able to copy your Communication Spirit Totem's distinctive spirit signature on their own Communication Spirit Totem, and the same goes for you.

"Once you have other Totem spirit signature records in the Communication Spirit Totem, you can contact them any time as long as they are within the Communication Spirit Totem's range.

This Communication Spirit Totem has a 500,000-mile radius range.

"The good thing about this Communication Spirit Totem is that even if you acquired a higher-grade Communication Spirit Totem, you easily copy all the totem's spirit signatures within a new one, and the new Communication Spirit Totem will have the same spirit signature as your previous one, so there is no need to go through the same trouble again.

"Although your disciple badge had the same function, it's not as meticulous as the Communication Spirit Totem."

Ace was astounded as he looked at the monolith-shaped Communication Spirit Totem in his hand.

This was really a miraculous invention and far more useful than those cubes.

"Thank you!" Ace quickly thanked Stetson since he could guess how precious this Communication Spirit Totem might be, and Stetson also gave him dark affinity armor.

No matter what the Sect Master or Weston clan had in mind, Stetson's character seemed straightforward, and it had nothing to do with his background.

"Hahaha, it's no big deal.

It should be what I do for the future of our sect. You don't need to feel pressure; just do as you please and make sure to live your life as you wish.

If you don't want to do anything, no one will force you, or you can just contact me, and I'll make sure they pay!" Stetson grinned as he proudly said.

As an old monster, Stetson had already guessed what kind of character George had, and he knew George didn't want to be afflicted by any clans.

So, instead of just forcing him, it was far better to have a good relationship with him. George already had the biggest backing he could get right now, so he would be fine.

Ace silently accepts Stetson's goodwill and imprints his spiritual mark on the Communication Spirit Totem, and then Stetson exchanges his own totem spirit signature with his.

Ace instantly felt a new totem spirit signature appear in his own, and he could use his totem to connect with it.

This Communication Spirit Totem was quite handy, and now he had a Forger Master at his beak and call. But he wasn't planning to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, he knew Stetson might be testing him by giving him his totem spirit signature to see if he used his authority and privilege to bully others.

Once it was done, Ace hesitated for a moment before he asked, "Umm, Lord Elder, I got this chance to join the AIG sect because of outer sect Elder Dewey, and he taught me many things about forging.

I want to repay him, and I think there is something about his cultivation, if you can tell me and if I can help him somehow."

Although Ace had successfully infiltrated the AIG sect, he knew he only had this opportunity because of Elder Dewey.

That old man had treated him with kindness without holding back, so he wanted to repay him somehow. From his interactions with him, he knew there was some problem with Elder Dewey's cultivation.

Now that he was a chief disciple with many privileges, he wanted to help him, and for some reason, Ace felt he had to do it. It was a strange feeling, but it wasn't like it was against his will.

Forger Master Stetson was surprised as his eyes glowed, and he couldn't help but nod in approval, "We should never forget about our benefactors, especially those who helped us when we were at our lowest. This is what makes us human, and believe it or not, repaying kindness and favors is essential for a law-state cultivator.

"You'll know once you reach my realm unless you're willing to lose your humanity and become Evil path cultivators who only know how to harm others for their beliefs and benefits.

"You needn't worry.

I'll investigate Elder Dewey, and you don't have to pay him personally. After all, since he brought us a talent like you, it's the sect's duty to reward him generously.

You should focus on your cultivation and forging without any reservations."

Ace was astounded when he heard those profound words, but he didn't pry any further.

Once Stetson had promised him, he really felt a burden lifted from his shoulder. Afterward, Stetson gave him some more instruction before he finally left in a jolly mood.

Once Ace was left alone, he sighed in a daze, 'Even favors have an effect on cultivation, and it's made us human? But then, what is evil and inhumanity? What is the boundary between good and evil? Am I evil and inhuman because I'm a thief?'

After a long time, Ace's eyes suddenly glow with a profound light, 'NO, a thief is neither good nor evil; a thief is free from morals!'

When he thought about this, Ace fell into this strange trance; his cultivation suddenly surged

like a tilde wave!
