"Sir Ace, I can finally sense your presence clearly!"
While Ace was still marveling at his body's new changes, a familiar, anxious, yet relieved voice suddenly rang in his head.
Ace's eyes lit up, "Moira? Are you fine?"
"I'm fine! It's just that I wasn't able to contact you, and I seed to have been sealed. I can't see anything. If not for our connection, I-I…" Moira's trembling voice was almost like sobbing.
"Sorry, I made you worried. It seed I had been reckless this ti…" Ace quickly cald her down while cursing the system inwardly, knowing it was all the system's fault.
After his ascension, he wasn't able to utilize the Eternal Thief Fate Compass or contact Moira because his Qi and inner space were completely blocked, all thanks to his bloodlines, which were unsealed by the system.
However, now that he has eliminated that problem, Moira is able to contact him, and he can also sense her presence clearly.
Not only Moira, but he can also feel the connection with his inner spaces again and all his Qi, which were completely different from the elental Qi. In fact, he could tell it was hundreds of tis more powerful than the elental heavenly Qi.
However, Ace was shocked the next mont because there were no longer two inner spaces. In fact, the two inner spaces of Martial and Soul had vanished from his position of the solar plexus and glabella!
If it were soone else, they would've started to freak out by now because the inner spaces were the very foundation of a cultivator, and if sothing happened to them, they would be just like mortals—just like what happened to Ace upon his ascension!
However, Ace didn't freak out because he could still feel his cultivation, and he felt even more powerful than ever. After scanning his body, he finally pinpointed Moira's presence, who should have been in his soul space before.
'What is this?' Ace was astounded to sense that the two inner spaces seed to have already beco a single entity, and this singular entity's current location was actually his heart!
However, for so reason, when Ace tried to peer into this new space, he wasn't able to and felt as if he was missing sothing to assess it.
'Could it be I need the next volu of Heaven Stealer Cultivation Technique to gain access to this rged inner space? Wait a minute, if my inner spaces have been rged, shouldn't my two Qis would have rged as well? But then, could I still feel them separately?' Ace mused as this was becoming complex for him.
However, Ace suddenly felt sothing was not right, and he quickly looked around. When he saw that the cavern was silent and empty, his expression changed.
"Where did that brat go!?" Ace finally rembered Cyrus and Chuchu.
When he ordered the system to start the integration, he expected it to take a few monts, which should be enough for him to send Cyrus back into the thief's space.
But he never had expected that he would instantly lose consciousness, and after his initial excitent from getting a new bloodline and finally having his cultivation back, he finally rembered about the little troublemakers.
"System, how much ti had my bloodline sweep taken?" Ace quickly asked, knowing Cyrus wouldn't have left right away to play around, as he should've been aware of his condition. So, he knew it must be Chuchu.
Still, he needed to know how much ti had passed since, for him, it was like he had only slept for a few hours.
"[It took 1794 days!]" "What?!" Ace was shocked because almost five years had passed, and he finally understood why Cyrus wasn't there. He knew he mightn't have been able to sit around doing anything in a similar situation, much less Cyrus.
'I should've expected it after witnessing the ti it took Alina to sweep her bloodline. Well, at least it didn't take over three decades!' Ace didn't dare to imagine what would've happened if he had been doing bloodline sweeping for decades.
'I need to find him!' Ace didn't dare leave Cyrus alone. After all, in his eyes, he was still a little kid who was naïve and only knew how to play.
'Live Fate Map!'
Ace quickly opened the live fate map for the first ti after his ascension. Furthermore, now that he was no longer restricted by the bloodlines, his thief's sense was back.
However, for so reason, the thief's sense was only limited to a 100-mile radius, and he could tell that it wasn't suppressed at all.
When the fate map opened, it also only showed terranes of a hundred-mile radius, and his expression fell, 'Is it because of the rging as well?'
At this mont, Ace gloomily noticed that the color of the fate map was actually glowing in silver radiance, and the dark golden compass pointer was already pointing in a certain direction.
Another thing Ace noticed was that the consumption of his Qi to keep the fate map active was lessened by at least fifty tis, which was huge!
However, he didn't care since he was still thinking about Cyrus at that mont, and since his thief's sense was greatly reduced, he could only rely on his connection with Cyrus to follow him. Although it was extrely vague, he could still feel his general direction.
Without hesitation, Ace quickly headed in Cyrus's direction, leaving behind a dark streak, and turned into a ruin.
While following Cyrus's traces, Ace didn't forget about the other important things as well, like he still had yet to fully explore the entire system shop. Not to ntion, he seems to need the second volu of his cultivation technique to fully grasp what was happening with his inner space right now. So, without any delay, Ace quickly opened the system shop's new section for cultivation techniques and skills, which now had turned into 'spells.'
