Chapter 105: 106: Reality Check!

An entire week passed since Ace was trapped inside the formation of the low sky-changing border.

Ace was only concentrating on his soul recovery the entire time and today his soul was completely recovered. 

"How much time has passed?" Ace opens his glimmering eyes while wondering. 

He does not know about the flow of time here because there was no concept of night and day inside the formation and it was constantly silent.

"Well, it doesn't matter since I'm trapped here." Ace smiles bitterly while mumbles, "I should be able to learn the first part of the rune crafter manual now." 

Ace's eyes shimmer the very moment he thought about the first part, Runic Eyes of Heavenly Rune Crafter Foundational Manual. This was his key to leave this damn palace.

The first level of the Runic Eyes can help the ruin crafter to see the rune symbols that were impossible to see with naked eyes. This kind of technique was the most basic for any rune crafter.

"System, how should I use the light soul qi?" Ace quickly asked since this qi was not his natural Heavenly Qi, and ordinary worldly qi, he didn't know how to proceed with it.

====

"[Did host want to activate the Light Element Soul Qi?]"

[Yes/No]

====

'Well, this is handy.' Ace was happy about this easy way to use this worldly qi and didn't have to learn it from scratch. "Yes, activate it."

====

"[Light Element Soul Qi has been activated.]"

[Time Remains: 23:59:59]

====

'Oh, with this timer, I didn't have to always worry about the time limit.' it overjoyed Ace since he can put all of his focus into the Runic Eyes now. 

At this moment, Ace felt a tingle in his mind's space and quickly use his sense to see what was occurring inside. 

The orange soul core was calmly floating in the center of Ace's mind space while slowly rotating, diffusing misty orange qi in the mind space. 

Suddenly, a small milky white soul core appeared within from orange soul core! 

This white soul core size was one-fifth of the orange soul core. This white core slowly floats few inches away from Ace's original heavenly soul core before settling.   

When the milky white soul core stops, as if it was finally at the right position, it begins to slowly rotate around the orange soul core while glowing in white, just like a moon around the sun! 

The sudden appearance of this new white soul core astonished Ace. 

"[Now the host can use the false light soul core to steal the light soul qi from the world.]" 

Ace finally snapped out of his shock as a wide grin appeared on his face. "Heh, stealing qi from this word? I like the sound of it." 

He didn't dwell on it anymore since the time was limited and he won't be able to use the light soul qi for two days. 

With a thought, Ace draws light element soul qi from the white soul core. To his surprise, this-worldly was much easy to handle than heavenly qi and he quickly get used to it. 

After making himself comfortable with light soul qi, Ace inhales deeply and puts a serious face. 'Runic Manifest Eyes…' Suddenly white transparent mist streams from both of his eyes. 

This mist was none other than light soul qi. It is impossible to see with naked eyes, and only someone with an entire realm higher than Ace can see this qi.

At this moment, deep within the formation,

"Hmm? Isn't this light element soul qi??" An old husky voice exclaims out loud. "What!! This pup is an Early Soul River Cultivator?? But how can that be? I saw him breaking through into the high stage of Qi Foundation Realm a week ago myself!"

This voice was sounded in great shock at this moment. 

"Wait, a moment! There is no trace of martial qi on him now? Was I hallucinating at that time? I must be it! No one can cultivate both soul and body at the same time from time immemorial!" 

This voice seems to calm itself. "It appears trapping here for so long has really messed up my senses. But this pup is quite interesting. He is an early soul river cultivator at such a young age and even has an affinity with the light element, which complements soul cultivation. 

"Should I take this chance? Well, it's not like I can get another like this one. If far better than trapping here at least!" The husky voice went silent as if it was mulling over something. 

One month pass since Ace was trapped inside the low sky-changing formation. 

In this month, Ace has learned the Runic Manifest Eyes earnestly whenever his rest period was over. This technique was unique from the other eyes skills he learned in the past. 

That's why he is having difficulty in understanding it but after a month he beginning to understand the crux of this rune crafting first part and was very close in master the first level of runic eyes!   

As for the two days when he can't use the light soul qi, he learns the soul-piercing bullets. Because it was not harmful to him at his current level. 

He tries studying the pulseless stealth, but it was too difficult for him to understand as if he was stuck. So, he put all his focus on the soul skill.

One more thing that was worth mentioning is Rune Crafting Manual was helping Ace in underling more about the soul qi. Before he was completely clueless about how he should improve in the soul, but now things were different. 

If not for the limited time and being trapped in this place, Ace wanted to study the soul-controlling technique of heavenly rune crafting.     

This makes him even more determined to quickly leave this place.

Two more months passed, 

At this moment Ace's eyes were tightly shut while he sweat profoundly. White transparent soul qi was constantly flowing from his shut eyes as if there were on white fire. 

Suddenly, Ace shut eyes shot open as the transparent soul qi instantly sinks in them, and not even a trace of soul qi left. 

His dark blue eyes were calm as water, but if one saw more carefully, there was a white luster around his dark blue iris now.

Ace's lips curls upwards in a smile because he finally comprehends the first level of runic eyes the Runic Manifest Eyes in three months! 

Wasting no more time, Ace looked around with the help of Runic Manifest Eyes and was astounded because the surrounding area was filled with different and complex, runic symbols! 

'I can finally see these rune symbols!' Ace was ecstatic because all of his efforts were not in vain, and can finally see the hidden rune symbols. 

He was quite surprised now that he sees the real rune symbols because before he can only see flaws in the arrays and formation with both of his basic and soul eye skills. 

Yet now, he can clearly see these mysterious runes and they were just too profound for him to make any sense of them at this moment.   

Ace's brows suddenly locked together when he looked around more carefully. Because he saw these strange symbols were glowing in different lights and there was not a single empty spot like when he saw with soul-shattering eyes three months ago.

The spot where he was holding for three months was also one of those empty spots he saw with soul-shattering eyes, but now he using the Runic Eyes, even this spot was glowing in dim white light.

'Now I have to combine true and false eyes with Runic Manifest Eyes!' Ace mussed grimly. 'No, it's almost impossible. They simply didn't compliment each other!'

This was his grand plan for escaping this place, by combining his basic eyes skill and a rune technique. Because true and false eyes can spot flaws and, by combining it with this runic technique, he can easily spot the flaws in symbols as well. 

Furthermore, if Ace really succeeds, then he didn't need the soul-shattering eyes in the long run either. 

At least that is what he thought before mastering the runic eyes first level. He was confident in doing it, however, now he finally understood just how impossible it was to combine martial and soul techniques and skills alike! 

Ace was in a huge dilemma when an ancient husky voice drifted in this silence and enter his ear, "Little Brat, your talent in soul is almost equal to this Patriarch." 

Ace nearly jump in fright when this sudden voice sounded in his ear. He instantly used his heavenly sense to the max to find this voice owner but failed. 

"Heh, you even manage to form soul sense in the early soul river realm, and your soul sense is unique and powerful as well. Just which technique are you practicing?" 

Ace finally gives the horror of his life because it was his first time since anyone has ever pointed out his soul senses!!
