Chapter 1097 Kai’s Ambition!
After getting the general information about the Sect Alliance City in the Calamity Beast Mountain Range and what kind of power structure and experts it had, Ace thought for a while about how to proceed.
Kai silently waits for Ace to speak again, agitated since he doesn't know how Ace would respond to this information. He is also starting to wonder why Ace wants all this information if he doesn't consider the Five Grand Sects a threat.
Ace finally spoke at this moment, "How do you leave the Sect Alliance City? How many exits are there?"
Kai was startled by this question but still answered, "There is only one entrance and exit in the Sect Alliance City, which is usually closed all year long. However, both entering and leaving the city is quite difficult.
"Only after passing the entrance test can we enter the city, and to leave, a disciple needs to have at least an Outer City Disciple Rank or above. A Nominal City Disciple can't leave until they want to leave the city permanently for good.
"Other than that, sneaking out is almost impossible because the entire city is protected by an extremely powerful formation, and guards patrol the city's boundaries constantly. I've heard that since the city's establishment, no one has ever been able to sneak in or out of the Sect Alliance City. Those who tried all met public execution.
"Do you want to leave the city, my lord?" Kai asked with uncertainty towards the end. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
'Leave? Even if I can use my abilities and skills, I don't think it would be possible if they had laid some Ascension Grade Formation in the city. It seems I need to stay in this place for a while, at least until the system is done upgrading.' Ace thought bitterly, but he didn't let it show on his face.
He coolly replied to Kai, "I still need some time to recover my powers before I can leave this place. But even if I want to leave right now, do you think anyone can stop me?"
"Lastly, the Spirit Stones can't be mined by mortals or common equipment. To mine them, a cultivator is required to have at least a grade-6 pickaxe, and only then can we scale these mines. Everything is provided by the city, and they control everything meticulously."
Ace's eyes shimmered as a sudden realization dawned on him. This new world was becoming more and more interesting by the minute.
Ace's eyes shimmered as a sudden realization dawned on him. 'Just to use a grade-9 treasure for mining, how lavish. Now I'm even more sure that these Spirit Stones are extremely precious and must-haves for a Law State cultivator. I should find one and analyze it in person. Maybe I might discover something unexpected. I wonder if my thief's space can store these Spirit Stones...'
Ace had already started making his thievish plans despite just waking up in this new place. It had become a habit without him even realizing it. Ace then looked above Kai's head and focused his eyes.
Thereafter, magically, a small black translucent panel appeared over Kai's head. This panel was just a small rectangle, and golden words were written on it: [Thief Point Meter: 0 Thief Point Available].
'Well, he's poor alright. Nonetheless, the thief point meter of the Thief Point Predator title is still working, which means my other titles are still in effect...'
After confirming this, Ace spoke to Kai again, who was feeling uneasy under Ace's piercing gaze, "Alright, I'm satisfied for now; tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Kai's uneasiness instantly vanished when he heard those words he had been waiting for, and he knew his chance had finally arrived.
He had decided on what to ask for Ace ever since Ace had offered him a reward, so he respectfully prostrated in front of Ace, "My lord, it would be a privilege if you take me as your disciple! I'll be satisfied even if it's just as an in-name disciple!"
