Chapter 962 The Other Side

Chapter 962 The Other Side

??Within the dense Qi radiation mist, Ace's main body has been flying for an unknown time. He was using one Qi to fly before switching to the other and replenishing the other one.

Although this way he could few endlessly, it still took a mental toll, and he had no choice but to rest by using his ship since there were no traces of lands in this place.

'Just how large is this place?' Ace mused gravely as he never expected this place to be so large, and if not for the fate map, he might've gone crazy.

On this day, Ace suddenly flew past the mist and was shocked when the sunlight flashed on his skin. Just how long has it been since he had seen the sun?

In front of him was now a blue sea, and looking behind him was the wall of Qi radiation.

"I'm out?" Ace was bewildered before an excited smile appeared on his face. He quickly calculated the time and was surprised because it had been a whole five years since he had entered the forbidden radiation sea!

Now, looking at the other side of the forbidden radiation sea, it looked the same, and he couldn't help but look at the fate map, which was still pointing in the northeast direction.

'I hope this is the place I'm looking for.' Hopeful, Ace took out a ship, landed on the deck, and set the ship's direction before he got to rest.

He didn't dare to use this treasure ship in the radiation mist for long because the deeper he goes, the more powerful the Qi radiation. Even a law comprehension realm cultivator would meet his end there, much less this high-grade-7 treasure.

Nonetheless, he preserved, and now he was closer to this destination, so he decided to rest.

Three days later, Ace suddenly felt something and appeared on top of the ship sail, and his eyes narrowed because, far away, a silhouette was coming his way.

Although it was too far away, it couldn't escape his thief sense, and he could tell it was extremely large. Furthermore, with the fate map, he saw many fate points, which meant people!

Ace didn't do anything and waited as he wanted to confirm if they were coming his way or not. Furthermore, it excites him to know that there were people here and that he encountered them so soon.

Minutes later, Ace was finally able to see clearly; it was a gigantic royal blue ship with an unknown white flag with the symbol of a golden lion, and they were really coming towards him.

Furthermore, what shocked Ace was this ship was probably a grade-8 treasure!

At this moment, a person flew off the ship and headed in his way. Shockingly, it was a middle-aged human with blond hair and a beard, and he was wearing white robes with golden outlines. This clothing style was very different from the ten continents.

Furthermore, this person's aura was at the late stage of the law awareness realm, which was quite a rare sight in the ten continents.

Ace didn't move and calmly remained standing in his place, and the man stopped a few meters in the air, looking coldly at Ace, clad in black and his face hidden under a hood.

"Who are you? This is the territory of the Golden Lion Kingdom! Remove that hood and identify yourself or suffer the wrath of Golden Lion Kingdom!" He coldly declared.

Ace's lips curled up beneath his hood. That man still hadn't discovered Ace was robbing him of his memories!

'So that's how it is!' Ace's eyes shone with excitement.

It turned out that this place was known as the Sky Heart Plains by these people, which is ruled by none other than the Mortal Sky Heart Empire!

The Golden Lion Kingdom was one of eight subordinate kingdoms under the Mortal Sky Heart Empire, and they were in charge of overseeing the endless sea!

Furthermore, unlike the ten continents, the people in this place had already conquered the entire endless sea and lands, and they were very strong. It was like comparing gold to bronze. The difference was simply too huge.

Moreover, they had technology far more advanced than the ten continents, as they could monitor any anomaly around the forbidden radiation sea. Ace just happened to fall in this category because the moment his ship landed in the sea, they were alerted by it.

These people have been studying the forbidden radiation sea, which they also called the world boundary, and they send multiple scouts in there but never manage to succeed.

So, Ace coming out of there would naturally draw their attention, and they quickly sent one of their most powerful fleets to investigate. The person in front of Ace was a fleet commander named Frugal, and there were thousands of naive soldiers on that ship closely keeping an eye on Ace.

If he does anything, they will use full force to subdue him. But the thing was, they had underestimated Ace, and they were not his match. Furthermore, Ace was very excited because he had reached the destination that he'd been searching for and that five years were worth it!

There was really another place besides the ten continents, and it was far more advanced.

But Ace didn't act since he had another plan. He removed his mask, revealed White's appearance, and quickly raised his hands in surrender.

He smiled at Frugal and said, "I'm an independent cultivator from the Shadow Kingdom. I've been adventuring the great sea and seemed to have lost in the world boundary. If sir would be so kind to point me in a way toward my home?"

Frugal was surprised since this matched what they had thought Ace was; the Shadow Kingdom was one of the eight kingdoms, like the Golden Lion Kingdom. Furthermore, Independent Cultivators were terms they used to call cultivators who didn't belong to any power and relied on adventures or commissions to support their cultivation.

If Ace was really from the other side of the world boundary, he shouldn't have this information.

"Where is your identification tile?" Frugal demanded with narrowed eyes, only now he sensed early stage Qi soul manifestation realm cultivation from Ace after he moved his hood, which was quite strange.

Furthermore, Ace was too calm in front of him, which rubbed him the wrong way. But he can't attack him without reason, since Ace wasn't resisting.

Ace shook his head dejectedly, "I've lost my storage ring and all the treasures in the world boundary. Sir should know anything in there would rot away. I was very lucky to escape before my ship ran out of the last bit of Qi stones I had. I have nothing right now, sir can search if you like."

Frugal frowned slightly since this reason was very valid, and he knew the dreadful effect of Qi radiation, so an independent cultivator like him escaping from that place could already count as a miracle.

"Then please cooperate with us. We'll have to detain you and escort you back. Once we confirm your alibi, we'll release you." Frugal stated.

Ace smiled gratefully and nodded, "I was planning on doing that from the start. Sigh… I was an idiot to try much luck there. I'll be thanking you in advance."

Frugal nodded before he took away Ace's ship and then escorted him back to the gigantic ship.

Ace smiled slyly as he entered the ship, 'How convenient!'
