Eternal Thief

Chapter 871 The Inheritance of the Sun and Moon

The white space in front of Ace suddenly split apart, revealing a small hall.

Astounded, Ace walked into that hall after confirming with the fate map that there wasn’t anything unusual with the color.

However, when he entered that place, he was surprised because there were six stone columns encased in corporeal barriers, and within these barriers were six different items levitating.

SMSC’s voice sounded, “This is the core inheritance of the Sun and Moon Union which is for the Chosen One. Those six items belonged to the Sun and Moon God, and they have been here since the creation of the Union.

“The first one is the map, which should lead you to the secret treasure. The second one is the key for unlocking the Sun and Moon Seal placed on the secret treasure. Without it, you or anything, as a matter of fact, won’t be able to acquire the secret treasure even if you find its location.

“Furthermore, you need someone with the Sun and Moon God Bloodline to use that key, or it will be useless for you. This is a security measure placed by the Sun and Moon God so no one other than the Chosen One would be able to get to the treasure.

“The third item is the Sun and Moon Sword Sutra; the Yin Yang Mortal Sword Manual is the part of the Sun and Moon Sword Sutra. This martial cultivation technique grade is far higher than you could imagine.

“The jade scroll is sealed with a powerful formation, and only someone with the Sun and Moon God’s bloodline can read the context in it. Even then, the inheritor can only look at the context of the realm they are in, not the entire sutra. If someone tries to decipher it forcibly, their soul will be destroyed, or worse, the Jade Scroll will! So, I suggest you don’t try to peer into it as long as you’re not planning to abandon your bloodline.

“The fourth item is called the Calamity Star Sword. This sword is also not from the mortal sky, and it holds intelligence. So, it will only acknowledge the bloodline of the Sun and Moon God as its master, no other. The sword is also sealed, and those seals will be lifted as the inheritor grows. Right now, it is only in grade-8 to match the grading of the Mortal Sky.

“The fifth is an identity token for the inheritor. This token was left for the inheritor as an assurance. It’s not only proof of the bloodline of the Sun and Moon God, but it also has another function that can be used only once as long as the carrier has the bloodline.

“It is called the Void Escape. It’s a powerful spell left behind by the Sun and Moon God in case of emergency for the inheritor. If a situation arises when the chosen one falls into danger and can’t protect the secret treasure anymore, he or she may use this one-time function. Thereby, they will be directly teleported outside the Mortal Sky Heaven!

“The last item is naturally the bloodline of the Sun and Moon God, stored in a bloodline changing container. Only someone with a strong will and determination is worthy of this bloodline. If some riff-raff dare to ingest it, that person will be devoured by the bloodline instead.

“So, I suggest you found someone who is at least at the eighth marital realm and below the age of 500 hundred. Only this kind of person has a chance to integrate with the holy bloodline successfully.

“The first two items belong to you, while the remaining four are useless to you unless you change your bloodline and cultivation path. You also need the Sun and Moon God’s bloodline inheritor with you to unlock the seal on the secret treasure.” The SMSC finally concluded the item introduction.

Ace’s eyes were shimmering with greed when he heard the details about all the items. Especially the sword and the token. Those were probably the most precious items in Ace’s eyes. The sword was clearly far above grade-8, and he needed a good sword that could withstand his heavenly Qi and that token that could help him get out of the first heaven!

‘Even I’m tempted to change my bloodline.’ Ace thought. His bloodline was sealed, which meant his parents or someone else didn’t want him to have that bloodline, so what was the point of having it? 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

However, when Ace thought about it, he discarded the thought. Because deep down, he wanted to know just what kind of bloodline he had and why he was unworthy to have it.

Furthermore, Ace already had a person in mind to give this bloodline to, but only if it was safe. Nonetheless, he needed to find the inheritor of this bloodline first if he wanted to get that secret treasure.

“I’ll keep that in mind, and I have no intention of going back on my words,” Ace stated.

“I hope so because once you take those items, these hidden spaces will only last for an hour because there is no Sun and Moon Mountain to sustain it independently. This means I’ll be gone as well since my duty as the Sun and Moon Sword Custodian will be over as well.

“Although I never wanted to end it like this, it is fate, and no one can go against it. I hope the Sun and Moon God’s confidence in you was not in vain. I don’t know why his holiness trusted a thief. He left a few words for you, which baffled me still.

“He said, ‘It is an honor for my bloodline to serve under the Heaven’s Stealer. I hope my successor will be of great help to you, and if I’m alive somewhere, please find me!’ These were the last words left for you by the Will of Sun and Moon God.” SMSC’s voice was no longer impassive but emotional, as it clearly was in disbelief that a God would say something like this to a mortal.

Now, even he was interested in knowing just who the Heaven’s Stealer was, but his master told him never to ask, no matter what.

Ace was also baffled by those words since they were talking about a God here, and his words were like he was a follower of Heaven’s Stealer. He really wanted to know just why he was being so generous and wanted his successor to be his follower.

‘Just what kind of history the Heaven’s Stealers had? Why is a God treating the Eternal Enemy of Heaven like his ally, or is there some motive? I can’t be sure, and there are many things I don’t know, so I have to be careful.’ Ace thought gravely.

The next moment, the corporeal barriers started to fade one by one, and those items suddenly floated toward Ace.

An ancient white scroll, a triangular shape black key, a black jade scroll, a starry black sword that appeared to be made with pure black crystal, and stars seemed to be engraved in its blade—a token with the half shape of a blazing black sun and half purple moon.

The last item, a five-meter-tall and two-meter-wide, ruby rectangular box filled with complex and eye-catching engravings and the same symbol of half sun and half moon, was engraved on its center. It was the bloodline changing container with the bloodline of the Sun and Moon God!

However, Ace didn’t dare to store them in his thief’s space because if the Sun and Moon God’s Will had done something to any one of these items, he wasn’t sure if he could handle the consequences for his current power level.

No matter how good the Will of Sun and Moon God had treated him, he wasn’t going to trust it.

So, he commanded the system with scrutiny, “System appraise these items!”
