Chapter 953 The Sea King City

Chapter 953  The Sea King City

After a long time, Eva finally calmed down, but her entire view of Ace's prowess had greatly changed, and she now had boundless confidence in him like never before. They both spend another peaceful night on the island before they finally head toward the direction of the fate map. This time, Ace was no longer alone, but Eva was with him as she was enjoying this very much. It was her dream to roam in the world with Ace, and she was finally doing it after a very long time. To make it more interesting, Ace sent Cyrus out as well, and the little guy was very happy at first, but he shuddered when he saw his big sis was also beside Ace this time around. So, he had to behave like an obedient child unless he wanted to be punished. While traveling with Eva, Ace finds that time passes very quickly, and the rare feeling of happiness and peace is always present in his heart.

On this day, Ace suddenly received a call from Winter, and he accepted it. "I think I found something. There is a ruin on an inhabited island, and there are traces of some old civilization, and I even found some unique rune symbols and texts in a different language from ours." Winter reported. Ace's eyes shimmered before he ordered, "Alright, note down those runes and take anything useful with you. We'll meet in five years if our search doesn't bode any results, and even if you find its position, don't go without the others. Now, continue your search; our lives depend on it." "I know you don't need to repeat twice. I was just giving you a heads-up since my direction might be the correct path. Anyway, the endless sea is not easy to travel. I nearly fell into a storm caused by some terrifying beast, and there was a mist of endless Qi radiation in some parts. This won't be easy." Winter sighed as she complained about this mission. Ace knew how hard it was to search the entire endless sea when they didn't even know how big it was, but what could he do but move forward? The call ended after he gave her some advice, and he then looked into the endless sea and then at the fate map. He's been following this direction for a month now, and there was still nothing in view. "Where are we going, aimlessly?" Eva asked, sitting beside him on the ship. She felt somewhat bored now as watching the sea all day long was not fun at all, so she started to pay attention to law comprehension. Still, she was happy about traveling with Ace the same. Ace smiled helplessly, "I don't know. I just have an ability that could give me a general direction where I should go to seek a fortune most suitable for me. So, I'm just following it. It's far better than going somewhere without any aim. Who knows, I may be able to find the damn empire with it? But if not, then at least I'll get a treasure out of it, right?" Eva was surprised as she didn't know such an ability even existed, but after thinking about how Ace could cultivate both paths, she doesn't find this ability ridiculous anymore. In her view, Ace was capable of anything now. So, the aimless voyage continued. On this day, Ace's attention shifted to his avatar. It was swimming in the depths of the endless sea, and right now, he was stealthily approaching an underwater city! This was the Sea King City of the Sea Kings Federation! When Ace chooses his targets to investigate, he naturally won't overlook this ancient civilization of the sea beasts, which might be as old as the magic beasts or even more. Furthermore, he still remembered Sea King Pen and the memories he received from Sea King Freddy. The Sea Kings Federation has been keeping an eye on the ten continents for a long time, and they have many records, and they even know about the ascension.

Lastly, the most interesting part was a forbidden area that the Federation guards and studied for a very long time, and no one was allowed there besides the three leaders and nine vice leaders. This area was called the Forbidden Boundary. It was more like an invisible wall that stopped anyone from entering a peculiar section of the sea, and it was shrouded in inky mist. So, Ace was very interested in the records of the Federation as well as this forbidden boundary, so he sent his avatar here. The mainland was also about to send its first army unit here to start the war, which was a very idiotic decision in Ace's view because starting the war with sea beasts within the sea was simply courting death. But it had nothing to do with him since he couldn't stop anything, and if they all wanted to die, he didn't give a damn. But he knew better that it was the Union Lord's scheme to achieve something, and he didn't want to clash with him unless it was absolutely necessary. The underwater city was very strange and unique from the cities of the land. The buildings were made with some sea material, and they all glow beautifully, illuminating the entire place. He spotted many sea beasts in their true forms roaming in the place, and some were transformed like magic beasts, but their transformations were not as perfect as Pen and Freddy's.

With Ace's current strength and the uniqueness of his avatar, as long as he doesn't want to be seen, no one can spot him unless they are a whole realm above him or have special abilities or treasures. Furthermore, his avatar can learn any soul-type skill within a few seconds if it is a lower level, and it would only take hours for a sky breaker-level skills and techniques. Not to mention, its own unique abilities were terrifying enough on their own, and with Ace's treasure trove in the mix, fighting against his avatar was the same as fighting against his main body.

Ace's destination this time was the Sea Kings Federation Headquarters, where they stored all their records and also met an old acquaintance. Spotting a citadel in the center of the city, his lips curled up behind his mask as speed increased!
