Eternal Thief

Chapter 522 World Famous (1)

There exist many forbidden zones in the Golden Sky World.

Every race had different opinions on them; as to which continent had the most dangerous, forbidden zone.

There wasn't any unanimous viewpoint on this.

However, if someone were asked any race about which was the most dangerous, forbidden zone in the entire world, the answer would be startlingly unanimous.

The Endless Sea!

The endless sea was filled with raging sea storms, whirlpools, and mysterious demonic marine beasts with uncountable numbers.

No one had ever been able to measure the full length of the endless sea ever, and those brave adventurers who embarked on this journey never came back to tell the tales.

Nevertheless, the Endless Sea was the only thing that connects the ten enormous continents, and this was the only way to travel between the continents.

Some continents have unique materials that can't be found anywhere else, so the sea routes were even more important.

However, traveling through the Endless Sea wasn't easy because of the high-risk rate, or with many races' ambition and prowess, they would've already started wars with each other long ago.

In thousands of years, the top races have discovered and paved safe seaways toward the ten continents. These seaways were voyageable in a certain part of the year.

But not just anyone can sail on these seaways, and only people with powerful backgrounds have access to these safe routes and travel freely between the continents.

Anyhow, these seaways lead to a certain point in every continent, and every race protected these places heavily, so other races won't start an invasion.

As for the other coastlines around the continents, they weren't as heavily guarded as the secure ones, but there were still formations protecting them. But these areas weren't accessible to siege.

Five huge sail ships were currently moving extremely fast, cutting through the calm surface of the water like a sharp blade.

Inside the captain's cabin in one of the ships, three silver hair figures were standing beside a table size runic cube which was brightly lit. It was a huge communication cube!

An aged voice sounded from this communication cube. "We just confirmed the news. The elusive demon thief really raided the Life Demon Association's outer continent's biggest auction, right under the nose of Fiery Grand Demon Duke.

"Not only that, but he sullied the Wise Demon Lady's reputation by exposing her gigolo in front of millions of onlookers, who were also the firstborn of Poison Wood Grand Duke.

"The entire demon continent is in a state of war right now, and even the Imperial Demon Knight Squad was summoned to the outer continent to search for a mere thief. I don't know when demons suffered such humiliation last time by a single person!" The voice sounded extremely ecstatic at the end. He was clearly gloating over the demon race's misfortune.

A beautiful woman with an icy demeanor also speaks in astonishment. "Is this the same thief that demons have been searching for the last few years?"

"Yes, it is the same thief. Although our spies haven't been able to penetrate their royal zone, this news can't be suppressed at all. The scope was just too great.

"The other four families might have also gotten this news by now, as well as the other races. I'm afraid this time at the Ancient Allied Gathering in five years, the Demon Race would be going to suffer big time.

"The cannon fold recruitment they were doing was also stagnated because of this event, and they might not be able to collect high-quality cannon folds before gathering. It is good news for us to kick demons out of the curb and crack their relation with the Devils." The old voice solemnly stated.

The old man standing in the middle of the two sneered at this moment, "We might doesn't even need to do anything. Do you think the Devils would not take advantage of this situation?

"They'll definitely approach the demons and demand something excessive. The demons would not take it standing after this humiliation. We just have to fan the flames, and watch from the side and play as a fisherman."

"Well, that's why I contacted you. Arrange a meeting between the other four families. There are still four years before you guys will reach the gathering location. The five Element Lords have already reached this decision of no infighting before the gathering." The aged voice earnestly declared.

"I'll arrange it right away." The old man spoke in acknowledgment.

"Oh, there's another piece of interesting news I forget to add." The voice suddenly blurted and quickly tells them, "I heard, between the items that the thief stole, there was a Secret Sword Art which required Element Sword Intent to cultivate!"

"What?!"

The three of them exclaimed in unison.

"Hehe, I'm glad it got stolen away, or who knows what those demons would've done with it. Those four families might even support the demons to pressure us so they could get rid of our peerless Ice Sword Fairy." The voice on the other side sneered coldly.

"This is indeed a blessing in disguise. I hope that the thief leaves the continent and dies somewhere in the endless sea. But it's a pity, if we can get our hands on that secret sword art, our family position would be unshakable." The old man sighed with regret.

The female with an icy demeanor nodded, and with a hint of gentleness in her icy eyes, she said, "This is for the best. But when we left, the Ice Sword Fairy was on a venture. Has she come back?"

"Ahem, you see, that's the thing." The voice sounded perplexed all of a sudden. "We heard the news from the coastline that they had seen someone similar to Ice Sword Fairy sneaking into the endless sea with a ship!"

"W-What!? How could she be so irresponsible?!" the old man bellowed with widened eyes.

The other also pulled a worried face filled with anxiety.

"The Ice Lord said the exact thing, and he nearly went on a rampage, while the Ice Queen froze half the ice palace when she heard it. If not for the Old Butler telling them he knew where she had gone and guaranteed to take her back, they both might've already left the Ice Domain to search for her." The person on the other end sounds exhausted.

The three in the room couldn't help but smile wryly when they heard this.

"It seemed you have a lot on your plate, Old First. I'm glad I left early." The old man chuckled.

"Hmph, next time you're going to stay here and manage those two childish adults." Old first tutted.

The silent middle age man with an icy presence suddenly spoke, "So, where did she go, exactly?"

"The Old Butler revealed that she had some deep attachment from her childhood when she was alone, living with him. So, the place where she was most likely headed would be the… Azure-Wind Continent!"

In another part of the endless sea,

A gorgeous veiled figure was calming sat beside a window, as she absent-mindedly looked at the blue sea with her light silver eyes filled with eagerness.

She mumbled in her mellifluous voice as her eyes shimmered with gentleness, "We'll be going to unite soon, Ace…"

Right at this moment, a bony man was sitting cross-legged on a small sailboat surrounded by a purple haze, as the boat was drifting in a certain direction by the mysterious purple haze.

All of a sudden, the bony man's eyes snapped open, filled with disbelief and trepidation.

"Do you also feel it?" He asked hoarsely.

Another old voice sounded in his head filled with uncertainty, "We're already merged, so of course, I felt it. The soul contract has been demolished, which means that the boy is either dead or he gets rid of it!"

"What are the odds of the latter scenario?" the bony man questioned sharply.

"If talk about that boy's ability to leave the Azure-Wind Continent and run so far away within a short span of three to four years, then I say the chances of him breaking the soul contract are 90%.

"But we can't be sure when it comes to the endless sea. This place was always quirky. Even the predecessors fear this sea. But if he were killed in the endless sea, then it would be night impossible to get that soul wisp back, and without it, we can't regain our full power." The voice sounded grim.

"Hmph, who told you to hand over the soul wisp to a child with only a soul contract in place?" The bony man grunted in displeasure. He was enraged.

The voice in his head retorted, "Well, I wasn't as lucky as you to have taken control over that formation and made a soul body to escape it. Those memories were with you. So, I take whatever chance we have for revival.

"Furthermore, I didn't just choose that boy on a whim or out of desperation. As I told you before, he might be the possessor of the legendary Abound Soul Physique, the same as the ancestor, Humane Sage!"
