Eternal Thief

1180 Elder Apportionment Token

Elder Dewey looked at George with a hint of pride and hidden disbelief as he still couldn’t believe what he had witnessed in the past month. Elder Homer had already left five days ago to report back to the sect about John’s death investigation and not to alert others about George yet.

Ace also had to admit that this old man was a great teacher. He taught him about forging without holding back and with such a passion that even he was moved.

He couldn’t help but compare Elder Dewey with his other teacher, the Divine Eye Hunter, Death Striker Conner. He left with Principle Zack after they found they were in higher heaven to find their own opportunity and rejected joining their disciples; their pride simply won’t allow them to mooch on their students.

Ace and Eva could only agree to their wishes, and after he provided them with everything he could, they parted ways with a promise to meet again if fate allowed it. Anyhow, forging was Elder Dewey’s pride and joy, and he never messed around when it came to forging. So, he also didn’t hold back and learned everything from the old man, and now his foundation of forging was probably only slightly inferior to his Rune Crafting.

Furthermore, Ace still hadn’t shown his entire capabilities by using his own heavenly spirit Qi because he knew if he used primordial Qi in forging, the result should be as astounding as Heavenly Rune Crafting.

Moreover, after learning these facts, he had a strange proposition: He should use his own weapons forged with his Heavenly Spirit Qi for Universal Ascension Black Physique, and it was the correct path. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Although he didn’t know why he thought like that or had this feeling, he knew his instincts had never failed him. After all, he had opened the secret parts of the Heaven Stealer Cultivation Technique’s first volume by following these instincts.

It also now made more sense to him since a weapon forged by an incomplete spirit Qi would never be sufficient to cultivate a complete path of martial/body cultivation. That’s why he had already decided to forge his own weapons using the Heavenly Spirit Qi and then use them to start the true path of martial cultivators.

Furthermore, Ace had never considered it previously, but if he could forge Heavenly Weapons, the problem of breaking normal weapons would also be solved. He just never thought it was possible, but now, after learning and practicing forging, it was a completely different story.

Lastly, the biggest benefit was that his cultivation was improving. In this past month, Ace’s true soul assimilated with his Primordial Law Body at least 9%. This means Ace has already reached the peak of a 1-Star Ascension Soldier (Law Soul Assimilation Realm), and with another 1%, he’ll be a 2-Star Ascension Soldier.

Furthermore, as he made progress in the Law Soul Assimilation Realm, Ace could feel something awakening in his heart, something too familiar to him. He knew that he had just started tapping into the true potential of the Cultivation Heart. “George, my boy, in this month, you have absorbed everything I teach you like a sponge, and what is restating you now is your cultivation base. Although I’m ashamed to say it, there is nothing else I can teach you about forging anymore. Yet, I’m more glad that I got to meet someone like you in my twilight years, and it’s my honor to be a small part of your future journey.” Elder Dewey sighed with gratification as his voice was filled with emotions.

Ace was surprised by Elder Dewey’s words, “Is there anything wrong with you, Teacher?”

Elder Dewey’s smile grew in gratification when he heard George calling him ‘teacher’ and shook his head, “Don’t worry, it’s all part of the life cycle. Besides, it’s not like I don’t have a chance. We cultivators walk the path of heretics and go against nature to acquire power mortals will never have. Cultivation is all about walking opposite to the natural order; it’s a journey of will and conviction, an everlasting battle, win, and you have to live to fight another battle, lose, and it’s all over. And I’m not planning on losing.” His old eyes were filled with sharp battle intent and conviction.

Ace didn’t know what Elder Dewey was talking about, but he could tell that whatever it was, it was about his cultivation. His profound words also made him think about his own journey.

Nonetheless, Ace knew that with his current power, he couldn’t help Elder Dewey even if he wanted to, so he decided to force his cultivation for now. The first step was to join the AIG Sect.

Elder Dewey quickly snapped out of his peculiar mind state and changed the subject, “Anyway, now that you are ready, it’s about time I leave. I don’t think this test will be a problem for you anymore. Just don’t surprise them too much.”

Elder Dewey chuckled playfully before he flipped his hand. A golden token with the AIG sect’s symbol appeared in his hand. It had runes engraved on it and a single word written on it: ‘Apportionment.’

He handed the token to George before he said, “This is an Elder Apportionment Token of Outer Sect Court. We outer-court elders only get three of them upon our Elder Anointment, and only after raising to the rank of an Inner Sect Elder can we get ten more.

“Anyway, this Elder Apportionment Token will allow you to take the Entrance Test for an Outer Forger Disciple anytime you want without question. Heh, and for free at that; you should know the sect charges a limb for the entrance test. I still remember how I gathered the funds for the entrance test like it was yesterday…” A nostalgic smile appeared on Elder Dewey’s face.

Ace looked towards the token before he solemnly nodded to the old man, “I won’t waste it.”

“Heh, I know you won’t.” Elder Dewey chuckled as he was completely confidence, “Now, I better take my leave, remember my instruction, and leave your little friends here; I’ve already instructed Lloyd, so you can retrieve them once you enter the sect and leave for a mission. I’ll wait for you in the sect!”
