Eternal Thief



After dealing with Grim Ancestor's matter which clearly didn't go as Ace had planned, he turned his focus on the mysterious lamp that contained the Spirit Fire. 

While looking at the illuminating black antique lamp, which was now emitting a gentle warmth, completely different from the terrifying and unbearable heat of the Spirit Fire. 

Ace then has to ask the system assistance because Noa was waiting, and he needed this lamp empty if he wanted to capture more spirit fires, "System, can you appraise this treasure?" 

"[1,000,000 TP is required. Do you want to continue?]"

Ace cocked his eyebrow when he heard the price tag. He didn't want to use the system appraisal because of this exact reason that it asked for too many thief points. 

However, after getting over 60 million thief points from the Grim Ancestor, he wasn't stingy anymore, so he continued. 

Besides, he knew if the system was asking for so many thief points, then this meant his lamp was extraordinary.

Ace was astounded when he saw the result, "Even you can't fully appraise this treasure? Is this treasure even more powerful than an Eternal Provenance Treasure?" 

Ace found it hard to believe that even the system couldn't fully appraise this Spirit Fulcrum Lantern despite having the ability to appraise the EPT and even tame it. 

Furthermore, this Spirit Fulcrum Lantern's both abilities revealed by the system were quite terrifying on their own, and he knew he had really profited this time from the Grim Ancestor. 

"[The Eternal Thief Fate Compass was a mere fragment of its former true self. While this treasure is not EPT but it seemed in a very peculiar state which can't be fully analyzed by the system with its current capacity. However, there is more to this treasure. But those details will do harm more than benefit the host at the moment. Host first need to upgrade the system before you can gain access to more details.]" 

Ace frowned and asked with pursed lips, "Then why do you take 1 million thief points if you can't give me all the details or even appraise it?" 

"[System only took what was sufficient for Host's request and in the future host might need to pay even more to appraise this treasure fully. However, the system can confidently reveal that this Spirit Fulcrum Lantern (No.7) can lead to something worth being possessed by the Heaven's Stealer!]" 

Ace squinted his eyes as a glint of uncertainty flashed past them, "Alight, I'll take your words for it. But you still didn't tell me how I can retrieve the spirit fire already being absorbed by this Spirit Fulcrum Lantern?" 

"[The Spirit Fulcrum Lantern (No.7) is untamable, which means it has no owner, so anyone can use it as long as they know how. If anyone else, they needed to be at least a Law Awareness Realm level Qi to command it. But Host just needs to use his Heavenly Qi, and then you can make it give away the spirit fire. But be warned, the spirit fire will be fully free once it comes out of the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern (No.7).]"

"Then can thief's house space suppress the spirit fire?" Ace asked as he was planning to give this spirit fire to Noa in the first place. 

But he didn't want to kill her by releasing that spirit fire close to her. Even though she might have received the method to refine the spirit fire from the system. But Ace found this highly dangerous after he personally experienced the terrifying might of the spirit fire. 

"[If the Host is concerned about the Thief Assassin, then the Host didn't need to bother. She is fully capable of refining this spirit fire because her body refinement technique grants her a certain level of immunity against the Spirit Fires. The higher grade her demon body reaches, the more she'll be immune to the Spirit Fires of the Mortal Sky Heaven!]"

Ace was astonished as it was the first time he was hearing about this, and even Noa might not know this. So, he no longer hesitated about this and found Noa. 

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm After giving her an update on the Grim Ancestor, he told her if she was ready to refine the Spirit Fire so he could let it out. 

Noa was eagerly waiting for this for a long time already. She quickly gave her confirmation, and Ace also didn't delay as he sent the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern (No.7) into her thief's house space and followed system instructions. 

The Spirit Fulcrum Lantern (No.7) darkly shimmered after it came in contact with Ace's heavenly Qi and upon receiving his command. The ruby color spirit fire shot out of it, and it turned dimmer instantly! 

Upon getting its freedom again, the spirit fire seemed quite angry as the flames flickered madly. However, it failed to manage to produce even an ounce of heat and was completely helpless. 

Noa was ecstatic when she saw the Spirit Fire was completely suppressed, and she didn't have to go through the trouble of fighting it. 

So, she quickly used her Qi to cage it and then sat cross-legged in front of the madly flickering Spirit Fire and started to use the refinement technique she received from the system with her body refinement technique. 

Thereby, a faint ruby mist started to emit from the burning spirit fire, and that mist slowly started to fly toward Noa's forehead before it vanished completely. Like a slow-flowing river, that mist was streaming toward Noa. 

Ace was quite assured seeing Noa successfully starting to absorb the Spirit Fire without any hitch. So, he leaves her alone in solitude. 

Then his focus turned to the Grim Ancestor's storage ring because he found very interesting things in it, and he was also hoping to find some clues about how the Grim Ancestor managed to enter the Sun Secret Realm, or he'll know once Freya was done with Jessie!
