Chapter 1098 A Lonely Path
So, asking to become his disciple was a huge opportunity that could change Kai\'s life forever. Not only that, but he would also have a huge background and shelter named Ace behind him. At that time, what would a measly Sect Alliance City backed by the Five Grand Sect amount to?
However, Kai was dead wrong when he thought Ace was a peerless expert, and because of his ignores, Ace\'s charm, and his acting, Kai was completely swayed by him.
Nonetheless, Ace was still a law state cultivator, and if he found a way to use his new prowess, he would still be considered an overseer in Sect Alliance City.
But Ace didn\'t have any intention of taking any disciple because of his origin. His path was completely different, and he already had the thief house members as his helpers, so it was even more unrealistic.
If the thief house\'s future member slots weren\'t already filled, he didn\'t mind considering Kai a potential contender. But when he considered that he was no longer in Mortal Sky Heaven and the bar of power had raised even higher, Kai simply didn\'t have any chance of joining.
Still, Ace appreciates Kai\'s ambition and willingness to take any chance to change his fate. Since Kai was the first person he came in contact with after his ascension, he gave him information about the Sect Alliance City and their general situation, so Ace didn\'t mind playing along. Not to mention, he still needed Kai\'s help until the system was done upgrading.
"You really know how to ask for a reward, huh," Ace commented with a cold chuckle, making Kai tremble slightly.
But Kai still remained prostrated in front of Ace, hoping to move him.
Ace sighed like an elder and said in resignation, "Alright, since I owe you a favor for awakening me and providing all this information, and I had already given you my word, you can be my in-name disciple.
"But I will only give you a cultivation technique and cultivation resources, so don\'t expect me to help you if you stir up any trouble. Cultivation is a lonely journey, and only by walking alone and without getting distracted can you reach the pinnacle.
"If you want to change your fate, you have to do it yourself; no one else can help you. Or you will always be mediocre and never able to achieve anything. Now, tell me, do you agree with my arrangement?" Ace asked as he completely emulated the appearance of a hidden master who was above the mortal realm!
Ecstasy bloomed in Kai\'s heart as he trembled, and he quickly agreed, "I agreed! Please accept this disciple kowtow, Revered Master!"
\'He didn\'t care about my early words, did he?\' Ace was speechless as he saw Kai quickly start to kowtow in front of him, and Ace decided to ignore it; after all, they might never see each other once he got back his powers.
After Kia finished the ceremony, Ace nodded and asked, "Since you are now my in-name disciple, tell me which path you follow and what your innate element is. I\'ll see if I have the cultivation technique suitable for you."
Kai was thrilled. He knew how important cultivation techniques were because even in Sect Alliance City, a nominal disciple like him could only access the 4th elemental realm cultivation technique, and the others were all extremely ordinary.
Even an outer city disciple only has access to the 6th elemental realm cultivation techniques. Only the Inner City Disciples have access to a competitive cultivation technique of the elemental state, and some of those techniques even grant innate abilities.
That\'s why Kai instantly agreed with this arrangement; he thought that someone like Ace wouldn\'t have any ordinary cultivation technique. This means he can soar to the sky with one single leap!
"Replying to the Revered Master, this little disciple follows the martial path and cultivates the Chasing Storm Cultivation Technique that can awaken the element of Wind. I\'m currently at the peak of the Qi River Realm!" He quickly revealed.
\'So weak?\' Ace was a little surprised. He was expecting Kai to be at least a Qi Soul Manifestation Realm cultivator, but he was only at the Qi River Realm.
Because of his thief sense of complete suppression, he wasn\'t able to judge Kai\'s cultivation, or he wouldn\'t be so afraid of Kai.
Nonetheless, he decided to get it over with, and after searching through his stash of cultivation techniques, he finally found a suitable one from the treasury of the Mortal Sky Heart Empire.
Cultivation techniques always held little allure and importance to Ace since he didn\'t require them. All they can do is serve him as a reference for his own insights, nothing else.
Furthermore, the elemental state cultivation techniques had become even less important after he became a law state expert. So, he was already planning on clearing up the inventory that he had accumulated in the Mortal Sky Heaven.
"Here, in this jade scroll, a complete cultivation technique of the wind-type elemental state is recorded. This will last you until you enter the law state. I\'ll give you a law state cultivation technique once you reach that realm; having one now will only distract you." Ace threw a Jade Scroll towards Kai nonchalantly.
Kai quickly caught it as if it were even more precious than his life. After all, it was his first time seeing or even touching a jade scroll; he had only heard rumors about them. He was now 100% sure that Ace was a peerless expert, and meeting him was his good fortune.
Ace completely ignored the thrilled Kai and took out a storage ring and gave it to him as well.
"In this ring are some wind-type skills, arts, a secret skill, some defensive and offensive talismans, and lastly, I\'ve filled it with Grade-9 Qi stones. They should last you for a very long time. Are you satisfied with it?" Ace asked with a faint smirk.
Kai was flabbergasted when he heard it and quickly kowtowed to Ace while tightly clenching the ring and the jade scroll. His sobbing voice was filled with heartfelt gratitude and emotion: "Thank you, Revered Master! I will never forgive your kindness! Even if I have to go through hell, I\'ll help you with anything you desire!"
Ace couldn\'t help but sigh and feel skeptical, \'Come to think of it, I never had to worry about these things after I got the system, but if I hadn\'t, would I be like him? Maybe… but I was also born in a very powerful family and then scheme against…\'
Just thinking about those events made Ace\'s blood boil with resentment and anger, but he knew he couldn\'t do anything about it until he had the power to oppose those sages.
"Alright, that\'s enough." Ace\'s mood became somewhat awful, and he ordered Kai coldly, "Now, you may go. I want to recover my power. You just have to make sure no one found this place for at least 60 days. Even if you can\'t do it, you need to alert me. Oh, and bring him those Spirit Stones. They might be able to assist me in my recovery."
Kai didn\'t tarry and quickly promised Ace he would do everything to ensure Ace wouldn\'t be disturbed and bring me all the Spirit Stones he mined.
Once Kai left, Ace was finally alone and had the chance to analyze this place and the altar underneath him carefully!
