Eternal Thief
578 Tier-12 Heavenly Talisman!
The Demonic Seal Castle, servant quarters,
Ace, disguised as NO.8,430, was frowning at this moment, "Tell me more about there were hundred black robes demons in masks."
Ace transmitted within his mind.
Winter's perplexed voice replied, "How do I know? They were like corpse puppets, completely emotionless, and we were told not to interact with them. As I said, we were separated by this Northern Council Minister and told to be prepared for two years of training in the forbidden countries.
"These demons are planning something big, and I don't like being part of it. Although my disguise is flawless, I had this feeling a Law-Awareness expert might be involved in this training. If he checked my progress, I might really be got seen through!
"Besides, what kind of plot are you hatching? Before coming here, I thought the rumors about the famous imperial domain being impenetrable were exaggerated, but now, I think we should wait until we have manifestation realm cultivation, at least!"
Winter was clearly among the twenty students of Royal Demon Institute as Archie.
Just as Ace was warned, Archie got selected among the twenty students for the gathering in the assembly and led by an imperial demon council member with others in the imperial domain.
Furthermore, they were all inspected with a grade-7 formation, and if it were Ace instead of Winter, his disguise would've been seen through.
But Winter, who was confident in her ability, also discovered that it wasn't as easy as she thought, and the Imperial Domain was filled with danger at every step.
Just the Northern Council Minister gave her a threatening feeling, and there were still Demon Elders above him, so she quickly contacted Ace to warn him about the situation.
If Ace was really planning to steal something, then he better makes it untraceable, or the full power of the imperial domain isn't something he could endure.
Ace sighed ruefully, "I know, but if I gave up now, I don't know when this chance will appear, and the thing I want is not something I can just get from anywhere. Even if I gave up, who knows how long will it take to search for it again?
"Don't worry. I won't act until I'm completely confident in escaping from here. As for you, just find an opportunity to eliminate Archie's identity. Then hide in the endless sea somewhere close to the continent. I'll fetch you once I'm done with the demon continent!"
"Hmph, don't cry if you get captured!" Winter scoffed with a hint of helplessness. She knew Ace was determined, so persuading would not do anything.
Ace chuckled, "Capturing me is not easy. You just take care of yourself. I'll be joining you soon."
With that, the house call ended.
But Ace was still thinking about those masked demons in black robes Winter had told him about, 'Could they be those participants from the eight provinces? I have to make sure that idiot isn't among them.'
Ace grimaced as he thought about his friend from the eight provinces. He then contacted Freya to order Ronan to investigate this matter.
Speaking of which, Freya could use Ronan like her surveillance bird and even control his action while still remaining hidden in the thief's house.
Even with the presence of the Demon Emperor, he still didn't discover evil seed enslavement on Ronan, and everything went smoothly.
Freya even wanted to cause trouble, but she gave up when she observed the meeting between Demon Emperor and Empress. Those two simply questioned him about his everyday life and then sent him away after they got their answers.
They were simply too cold toward Ronan and probably summoned him just for the sake of it.
After Ace instructed Winter, he focused on sorting materials for the heavenly talisman he wanted to create.
Ace had long achieved tier-12 rank in Heavenly Rune Crafting, and he didn't have a grade-level manual for Heavenly Rune Crafting yet.
Nevertheless, just the Heavenly Talisman he learned was enough to compensate for his lack of grade heavenly talismans.
Furthermore, Ace presumed that even if he had a grade-1 or higher-level manual, he might not be able to comprehend the heavenly talisman with his current cultivation level.
Because just the tier-12 Heavenly Talisman was equivalent to Grade-3 or even Grade-4 worldly talisman!
Besides, with just the Heavenly Rune Crafter Foundational Manual, he can easily craft arrays, formations, and any ordinary talisman up to Grade-3 as long as he has their crafting method.
Just the Heavenly Talismans were different, and he still had yet to come in contact with Heavenly Arrays or Formations, so he didn't know the difference between the ordinary arrays or formations and heavenly ones.
Not only that, but with his runic eyes skill from the Heavenly Rune Crafter Foundational Manual. He could see through, comprehend, and decipher any rune symbols up to grade-3 and bypass those formations without needing any skill!
Right now, Ace knows the crafting methods of 50 Heavenly Talismans from Tier-1 to Tier-12. He learned from Talisman Crafting Technique.
He was planning to craft a Heavenly Talisman of Tier-12, which was the most difficult one of all the heavenly talismans he had ever comprehended.
After skimming through the materials in his thief's space, he thought, 'If I used all those materials, I'd deplete almost half of my high-level soul materials and soul crystals.'
Previously, Ace never dared to craft a Heavenly Talisman for this exact reason. The heavenly talisman from tier-9 to tier-12 needed soul materials, not ordinary ones.
So, he was always satisfied with worldly talismans.
But right now, only this heavenly talisman could do the job, and he couldn't be too stingy with it, either. He needed at least over two hundred to ensure he won't get caught.
Resolution shone in Ace's eyes, "Open the Heavenly Rune Crafter Panel!"

-Space Step: Soul & Martial Talisman (Tier-12)
[Effect: 1000-Meter Teleportation in chosen direction!]
[Limitation: Useless under Grade-5 Space Locking Array!]

2. 50 Million Soul Crystals (Peak Grade-3)
3. Space Stone (Grade-4): 2
4. Void Iron Ore (Grade-3): 10 Gram
5: Fickle Speed Grass (Minimum 1000-Year Old): 3 Grass Blades
6. Space Crystal (Grade-5): 1

=====
Except for the Fickle Speed Grass, the third and fourth materials were used in crafting space rings, so Ace had quite a lot if he simply dismantled all those storage rings. As for Fickle Speed Grass, it was an essential material for creating a Martial River Core Realm Breaker Pill.
So, Ace had all these materials, but the only problem was the space crystal because it was used in making space rings of grade-5 or above, and he only had 119 of them.
But they were barely enough to make the cut, so he could only ask Ronan for more, but even he could only buy them at a very high price, and even then, he would only be able to send a hundred more.
So, Ace had no choice but to part with a chunk of his high-grade soul materials if he wanted space crystal. So, he would get those crystals in one month, according to Ronan.
But before that, he wanted to try and see the effect of this Space Step Talisman and experience Teleportation.
He wanted to see if this talisman could teleport him outside the walls and formations as long as they didn't have this Space Locking Formation active.
From Ace's point of view, the teleportation concept was fabled in Golden Sky World, so this Space Locking Formation, which could stop Teleportation, would be even more fabled.
That's why he was confident in escaping if this talisman worked, and he has over a hundred of them, which would be equivalent to hundred miles of Teleportation!
"System craft one Space Step Heavenly Talisman." He commanded.
The system's voice sounded in affirmation, and soon after, a new heavenly talisman appeared in his Thief's Space.
Just like the other heavenly talisman, this new pitch-black talisman coin was a pentagram filled with tiny symbols, and in the center of this black pentagram talisman coin was Ace's thief symbol.
Expectantly, Ace took out the talisman coin. He had never used a heavenly talisman before, so he was looking forward to it.
Right, now, he was inside the servant quarters, and a grade-5 formation controlled the locks on this building.
So, Ace stood up and faced forward toward the direction of the main castle. He wanted to see if he could cross anything in his path and appeared right a mile away.
A mile away from this place was the wall of the castle so that he couldn't cause any commotion.
The next moment, Heavenly Qi flashed on the Space Step Talisman.
Thereby, Ace vanished on the spot!
