Chapter 723 Union Caretaker



Chapter 723 Union Caretaker

?

Looking at the three Jade Scrolls, two of them were silver and golden, while the last one was black. Ace quickly guessed what they were and felt even more alarmed by the Union's resources! 

"If you don't know what these are, then don't fret as they are known as Jade Scrolls, and profound knowledge could be stowed into them and then exist almost as long as an epoch.

"The Golden and Silver Jade Scrolls continued the first half of the Yin Yang Mortal Sword Manual. At the same time, the black one continued the Upper Sky Breaker Grade Sword Art, the Sword Array of Fallen Moon. 

"However, no one can open those three Jade Scrolls because they can only be opened with your Sun and Moon Seeker Token now. The Sun and Moon Seeker Token is the higher version of the Sun and Moon Inheritor Token which only I can change according to the Union rules. 

"So, your token has already been changed into the Sun and Moon Seeker Token, and now it is like a storage ring that will be marked by your Soul Mark, and no one else would be able to use it!" 

Ace was even more astonished when he heard about the token, but he controlled his elation while he quickly pocketed those three jade scrolls. 

'If I can only get into the union's true treasury!' Ace thought with his thievish mind, but he quickly suppressed that thought as it would be nigh impossible with so many powerful characters guarding this place. 

He then quickly thanked the SMSC, "Thank you, Senior, I will remember you teaching!"

"I have nothing to teach you. I want you to become the Chosen One. This is my only purpose, and from now on, yours as well." SAMC's solemn voice rang. 

"I'll try my best." White promised before he asked, "Senior, you said I'm the third Sun and Moon Seeker. Who were the first two before me, and did they fail?" 

"Yes, they were stopped at the Mid Sun and Moon Tower Trials. Like the limitation of the Less Sun and Moon Tower Trials, there are limitations on the Mid Tower trials as well. 

"This information has already been sent into your token. But I'll still tell you, you need to be cultivated the first half of the Yin Yang Mortal Sword Manual to its perfection. Second, you need to comprehend at least Half Element Sword Intent. Third and last, you need to clear that trial before you exceed the age of 200 years. 

"But I don't think this would be any problem for you at all since the previous two were mediocre at best compared to your monstrous talent." 

'This is bad if I need to cultivate this technique first…' Ace thought gravely. 

He asked another important question, "Then how many tries I have?" 

"There are no limits to tries, just like the lesser tower trials." 

"Wait, what? There is no limit to how much I can try, even in the first trial?" Ace was really shocked. 

"There is none. Only the age limit is the true limitation in the lesser tower trials. Didn't the Union Caretaker of the Inheritor Token explain it to you when he chose you to be the contender?" SAMC asked with a hint of uncertainty. 

'Union Caretaker?' Ace was even more shocked by the way SAMC called the Union Leader, and he felt something was extremely wrong with all this. 

Ace suddenly had a bold thought as he said with an innocent look, "My Master told me there are only three tries before it would turn into a life and death struggle. I think he might have good intentions…"

"Wait! You are calling the Union Caretaker your Master?" SAMC abruptly cut Ace in the middle as it coldly questioned. 

'There is really something no right!' Ace thought sharply as he said, "Umm, I don't know if the Union Leader is the same person you are talking about because he is indeed my Master." 

"Hmph! It is indeed the Union Caretaker. It seemed he had become bolder in these past thousands of years as he even dared to make the Union Contender his Disciple. I'm pretty sure he had performed the Master Disciple ceremony before he handed you the token, right?" 

"Now that Senior mentioned it, it is indeed the case. But he treated me well as gave me access to all the knowledge and resources of the union, so I don't mind having such a Master." White righteously stated. 

"Hah, little Sun and Moon Seeker, you are too innocent. Those things were never his to give in the first place, as the moment you were given the inheritor token, you have all those things without needing anyone's permission. 

"Furthermore, now that you have become the Sun and Moon Seeker, you have the same status as the Union Caretaker, you can even order him around, and he won't dare to disobey! He is not qualified to be your Master!" SAMC's voice was filled with disdain. 

'What?!' Ace was even more alarmed than he had been for the entire day, 'Why do I feel like I got cheated by some swindler?' 

"Sigh… what done is done as the Union holds the traditions in very high regard, and the Master Disciple relationship could be considered the highest bond like a family. 

"It might be a good thing since I can't do anything except oversee the trials and until the Chosen One appears. He will take care of you. You need protection until you mature, so he is the best choice, I must admit. 

"You don't need to worry or be on guard against him, he can't harm you in the Union anymore, nor will he ever try since, despite his underhanded methods, he is most loyal to the Union and withheld the ancient traditions in very high regard especially a Master Disciple since he never took a disciple." 

'What a fickle-minded fellow…' Ace sneered in his heart as he never trusted the Union Leader in the first place, nor was he planning to start doing it now. 

"Indeed, I fully trust my Master." White sincerely stated, just in case the Union Leader was watching, that he started to doubt if he could after he heard the SMSC's disdainful remark, but he didn't dare to confirm it. 

So, he moved the topic to the most important matter, "Senior, you said I had earned a direct entry into the third level of the Secret Sun and Moon Realms for one year in each realm. Can you please elaborate on how this will work exactly?"
