Chapter 1013 The Devil’s Trap

?After Ace confirms the Sword Heart, he searches for any information about how someone can achieve it or any clue. But to his dismay, there wasn’t any information about it all, and there was just information on the vague concept of Sword Heart’s ability.

However, it wasn’t like all hope was lost; he had all this knowledge the imperial school had collected over thousands of years, so he had to go through all of it patiently, and who knows, he might find something.

Still, now that he knew that the Sword Heart was a mystic ability of sword path, Ace decided to use one of the insight pills to mull over the sword law he comprehended till this day and also the Sky Sword Manual, the highest law art he had except for the Heaven Splitting Sword.

Now that Ace thinks about it, the Sky Sword was created by a Sword Emperor named Executioner Sky Sword, and Ace didn’t believe that someone calling himself Sword Emperor would not know about the mystic abilities.

In fact, the Sky Sword Jade Scroll was a token to enter the secret realm where the true legacy of the Executioner Sky Sword was hidden, and the law skill Sky Sword etched in the jade scroll was just a tiny part of the Executioner Sky Sword’s true legacy.

Ace has already incorporated the Sky Sword Core Creation and Sky Sword Manifestation into his Eternal Thief Swords Style foundation. In fact, it was the very foundation of his sword cores. But despite his achievement, he still can’t understand the Sky Sword Crown, the last realm of Sky Sword. 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Previously, he thought that he just needed time to comprehend it. Still, after learning about the mystic abilities, he was sure that this lack of understanding was because he was still not worthy enough to comprehend it.

That’s why he was now planning on using the precious insight pill on the sky sword that he previously thought was a waste.

After getting somewhat enlightened, Ace hurried over to the third floor, and this time, he appeared again in another vast library, which astounded him.

Although this library wasn’t as grand as the lower one, there were fewer books and more jade scrolls stored here under a protection layer of a formation. But how could they stop Ace’s heavenly sense?

Ace instantly copied all the knowledge again, and after skimming through a portion of it, his eyes brightened because most of the knowledge stored here was about professions of the Sky Heart Plains, like rune crafters, alchemy, spiritual cooking, and such.

There were some novel concepts and many formation blueprints, array designs, and recipes among them.

‘The second floor was mostly a history collection, while this floor is filled with professional knowledge. Could it be the knowledge is divided between floors of this tower? But then, is this really the forbidden library?’ Ace mused with a hint of confusion.

But it only lasted for a moment; it didn’t matter since he was getting free knowledge in mass, so he was on his way towards the fourth floor, hoping to get even more free knowledge.

Just as he thought, the fourth floor was also a library, but there were no books; instead, jade scrolls were floating in the air like stars, a work of a formation. If someone needed to study these jade scrolls, they needed to have the skills and precision to capture them first.

Although it was somewhat tricky, Ace found that his heavenly sense still covered them all, and he excitedly annexed them into the knowledge galaxy.

‘So, they are really skills and arts; some are even at the Sky Breaker Grade. Good stuff. The next should be either cultivation techniques or secret skills.’

Ace quickly left towards the fifth floor, and this time, he wasn’t greeted by another cluster of knowledge like he was expecting; instead, he appeared in a giant hall with six large corridors leading in six different directions.

With the fate map, Ace quickly spotted several fate points in one of the corridors, and surprisingly, the person he was looking for was also among them. His lips curled up, and he quickly entered the corridor lit in luminous crystals.

Soon, he spotted doors in the hallway; there were ten of them. Ace quickly approached the fifth door to the right and directly entered despite the formation protecting it.

An enthralling scent filled his nostrils the moment he entered before a soft boy directly pounced in his arms.

“You’re finally here.” Eva’s gentle voice sounded.

Ace smiled as he hugged back the curvaceous devil tenderly, “So, you were waiting for me, huh? And here I thought I would give you a surprise.”

Eva snuggled in his arms before looking at him cunningly, “I’ve known the moment you enter the capital, do you think only you can sense me? Still, you’ve arrived quicker than I’d anticipated.”

“I just miss my beautiful wife, so how could I resist?” Ace stated matter-of-factly.

“Tsk, slick tongue.” Eva smiled beautifully; although she was still wearing Evie’s disguise, Ace could see her clearly because of their unique connection.

Escaping from Ace’s embrace, she held his hand and dragged him into the cultivation chamber before activating all the formations and even setting up her own formation just to be extra careful. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

“Since you’re here, I presumed you are ready?” She asked directly with a hint of excitement in her eyes; she was clearly looking forward to this.

“Not yet. I still don’t know the location of the temple. That’s why I’m here. I’ve heard you are now the most talented person of the Sky Heart Mortal Empire and the Principal’s disciple.” Ace grinned as he felt proud of Eva.

Eva smiled smugly, “Why, of course, I just couldn’t help but put those arrogant imperial idiots in their place. Furthermore, I wanted to draw their attention to access the imperial palace and its secrets. I thought it would be helpful to you, and I wasn’t wrong.”

Ace was gratified as he knew Eva had taken the risk for him while he was searching for treasures.

“Before anything, tell me, are you the Evil Venerable Angel? And how did you come up with this peculiar alias?” Ace curiously inquired.

When he said her alias, Eve felt Ace’s tone wasn’t right and squinted her eyes dangerously, “Indeed, it’s me. As for the Evil Venerable Angel, it’s an abbreviation of my name E.V.A. I thought you would instantly get it, but it seemed not only did you not get it, but you also didn’t like it, huh?”

She suddenly smiled, which wasn’t a smile at all, and the temperature suddenly dropped.

Ace’s expression changed as sweat broke out on his forehead, looking at Eva’s chilly smile, ‘Shit, it was a trap!’
