Eternal Thief

Ace opened the system shop panel to see the promised ramification rewards system claimed to put in the system shop.

'It's been quite a while since something new has been put in my shop.' Ace lamented before he opened the temporary section.

3. Intermediate Item Upgrade Tokens

[Description: Upgrade any Treasure purchased from the System Shop by 2 Grades]

-Available: 3

-Ramification Cost: 10 Million Thief Points (Per Token)

'So, even the EXP and SP involved in those rewards are also up for sale, huh? This really is a ramification. But this also showed just how much important the Heaven's Stealer Mission is.' Ace's eyes went sharp as he ignored the EXP and SP completely since they would be just going to waste if he claimed them at his current stage.

Ace now knew the EXP and SP from the system were quite precious because they won't be decreased no matter at which stage he used them, unlike the treasures in his possession.

The low grades items would give him a low amount of EXP or SP as he became stronger, while the higher-level items would take their paces soon after. But the pending system EXP and SP were not like that.

The system has never put any time limits on pending rewards, and this was a benefit on its own, and Ace was fully going to utilize it.

'My Heartless Stealth Art is already at its peak, so this stealth art came at the correct time. At the same time, I don't have time for rune crafting yet.

'As for this absolute pick-pocket, this might be a higher version of my pick-pocket skill which is probably the only basic skill I still use. But using it with soul threats at this level is quite dangerous, especially if I try to use it on a law awareness realm cultivator.

'However, what I needed the most was my last reward!' Ace's eyes glow like the sun as looked at the three available item upgrade tokens.

Right now, the only thing he was in need of was absolute secrecy of his identity as well as he needed a powerful tool that could help him move around without implicating his White identity.

But the only tool in his arsenal was the Thousand-Face Mask, but it has been of no use lately as it can no longer hide his true identity from powerful beings like the tower spirit or a law awareness realm expert.

Even a peak soul manifestation realm expert could also see through that mask as long as they locked on him.

This problem was also not limited to living beings. The biggest problem was powerful formations that could not make mistakes like living beings. That's why he had to infiltrate the core grounds of the union with his true appearance in the first place.

However, now, he can upgrade his Thousand-Face Mask!

"System, I want to buy all three intermediate item upgrade tokens and then use them all on the Thousand Face Mask!" Ace commanded without hesitation.

As for paying thirty million thief points, he knew it was a small price in front of moving freely in this place!

The system's voice started to ring at this moment,

[30 Million Thief Points have been deducted!]

[3 Intermediate Item Upgrade Tokens have been purchased successfully!]

[Thief Point(s): 23,918,950]

[Are you sure you want to use all three tokens on the Thousand-Face Mask (Grade-3 Rune Item)?]

"Yes, I'm pretty sure," Ace answered without hesitation.

[Intermediate Item Upgrade Token has been used on Thousand-Face Mask!]

[Thousand-Face Deception Mask upgrade has been completed with three item upgrade tokens!]

-Soul Cultivation Disguise (1st Realm to 8th Realm)

-Racial Physical Aura Masking (New)

-Racial Soul Aura Masking (New)

-Limit(s): No limitation under Mortal Sky Heaven!

Ace's heart raced after seeing the new Myriad Vizard Thief Mask's abilities, and when he saw the Unseen Thief ability and the last line, he nearly laughed out of loud in mirth.

'No limitation under mortal sky heaven? I can even emit a cultivation aura of an 8th-realm expert while I can't be detected walking in any surveillance formations. This mask was the thing that I needed!' Ace thought with ecstasy.

Without hesitation, Ace takes out the new Myriad Vizard Thief Mask. The mask was faceless and as soft and thin as a membrane, and its pitch-black color changed as it was now completely transparent. The small red ruby-like gem in its center has also vanished.

If Ace didn't know this was grade-9 treasure, he would think this was just some cheap mask. Furthermore, the moment he touched the mask, a strange current suddenly ran through his hand.

Ace was startled, but the next moment, a strange connection suddenly formed between him and the mask, and foreign memories started to enter his head. Ace was astonished as all those memories were about the abilities of the Myriad Vizard Thief Mask and how to activate them.

Now, he didn't need to tell the system about to save a face. He can do it himself with a single thought while he can now also get rid of useless faces which have been saved for fifteen years.

He was never given the option to delete a face from the moment he got the two-face mask which was the first form of the Myriad Vizard Thief Mask. That's why he was always selective in choosing faces since it couldn't be undone, especially when he had limited slots.

However, now that he had ten thousand of them, even if he didn't delete the old ones, it matters little.

'So, this a grade-9 treasure, huh?' Ace was very content with this mask and felt the thirty million he spent on it was worth it.

Without wasting more time, he thought while pacing the mask right in front of himself, 'Scan my current appearance.'

The transparent mask suddenly blinked in black light, and Ace got confirmation that it was done, which made him even more pleased as he placed the mask over his face.

The moment it contacted his face, it vanished without a trace, and Ace felt like he was wearing nothing. But he could clearly feel the connection with the mask, and he knew it was right on his face. But he would appear like he was in other people's eyes as long as he won't activate the mask. It doesn't matter if he keeps it wearing.

Then Ace activated his newly saved face, and he felt a current run down his body. He looked the same as the moment before, but in reality, Ace was now wearing his own disguise.

He then activates the mask's unseen thief ability with heavenly Qi. Furthermore, he can use any type of heavenly Qi to use this ability, and he needed to keep supplying the Qi to keep it active.

The moment he activated the ability, he discovered this ability took as much Qi as the fate map, which was quite a lot, but he didn't mind as long as it was worth the price.

To check its capability, Ace opened the live fate map to see how the danger was for him now, and what he was left him absolutely awestruck because the black fate location now turned into a gray location!

With a racing heart, Ace then cancels the unseen thief ability, and the gray map instantly starts to change color and turn red this time but not black!

Although the result was satisfactory, the map was still red, which meant it was still dangerous for him.

'What a powerful surveillance formation.' Ace thought grimly. Still, he was more than happy with this much secrecy.

'I should start now!'

Ace then stood up. He was going to the cultivation sector to visit the Outer Sun Domain Library!
