"But if the host wants to create a 'Martial Qi Sea' instead of a 'Martial Qi River' the Heavenly Turbulence can instantly be activated. However, the host has to complete some conditions first!

"

"What Martial Qi Sea and Martial Qi River?

" Ace was gobsmacked since he never heard about these terms.

"1000TP

"

"Fine!

" Ace was vexed.

"The Martial Qi River refers to the river, one formed in Qi River Realm. Everyone had a different size of river exclusively depending on the foundation slates one create in Qi Foundation Building Realm.

"Just like the different type of foundation slates, name {Ruin (5-Slates), Cracked (6-Slates), Flawed (7-Slates), Incomplete (8-Slates), Complete (9-Slates)}. The martial river also had different classifications name, {Small (Formed with 5-Slates), Medium (Formed with 6-Slates), Large (Formed with 7-Slates), Ordinary (Formed with 8-Slates), Extraordinary (Formed with 9-Slates)}.

"However, host path is completely different because of Heaven Stealer Technique. Host foundation slates are Darkness Foundation Slates, and the host has also unlocked the hidden part of Heavenly Crystal Body in the very start.

"Because of all these variables host can now choose to form a Martial Qi Sea which means if host successfully able to cross this Heavenly Turbulence the next realm will not be Heavenly River Realm anymore, it will be Heavenly Sea Realm!

"But if the host chose to form the Martial Qi Sea, then the next Heavenly Turbulence's danger will also increase tremendously. Furthermore, this just won't end with one stronger heavenly turbulence, but all the upcoming turbulence will become extremely perilous as well.

"But the benefits of forming martial Qi sea are also worth the danger that came with it.

"

====

Ace's eyes shimmer with ambiguity, this new information he received from the system truly broadened his horizons. He never thought all the knowledge he learned all this time has this many flaws and loopholes.

Like the new and different types of foundation slates and the new information about the martial Qi river, which probably no one knows about even in high-level lands.

But what truly shocked Ace naturally was the information about Heavenly Sea Realm and the Martial Qi Sea.

"Why didn't you tell me about this before?

" questioned Ace.

"Because this information was worthless if the host hasn't unlocked the complete Heavenly Crystal Body Manuel because, without it, it's impossible to create a Heavenly Sea and enter the Heavenly Sea Realm. But now that the host has found the second elemental orb, the host became eligible to access this information, which was locked before.

"

"Tsk tsk, you and your damn conditions.

" Ace was displeased because this was just too sudden and shocking.

He was standing right in the middle of a freaking volcano and the system has suddenly dropped a huge bombshell, how could he not be pissed?

This choice was too hard for Ace to make in this short time because just like the system said, once he decided to trend on this path there was no going back, period.

"Tell me the advantages of forming Qi Sea?

" Ace asked, despite being aggravated, no matter what, he can't just ignore this prospect.

He can't just ignore the fact that this was only happened because of his previous luck, and this Heavenly Sea Realm won't be just for show.

"System can only reveal three of the benefits of forming the Martial Qi Sea.

"First, the host will be ten times stronger than any 'Extraordinary Martial Qi River' cultivator once he entered the Heavenly Sea Realm.

"Second, the host will unlock a special and one of kind Element which is impossible without a Martial Qi Sea.

"Third, Level-1 Authority of the System!

"

Ace inhaled sharply when he heard the last part,

"Are you serious?

"

"Yes.

"

He didn't dare to believe about the third benefit because he always wanted to know how he could upgrade his System Authority which was currently Level-0 but no matter how many times he asked the system never revealed it.

But now all of a sudden it revealed it, he didn't care about the first two advantages of forming martial Qi sea, just this last one make it worth it. Because the system as a whole was far more useful than anything to Ace!

'This is an opportunity, I can always find more lighting protective treasure for heavenly punishment, but the system authority won't come every day. Who knows, if I rejected it, when will I get another chance. Besides, my survival chances will increase drastically with martial Qi sea, and it's not like I can fend off for three minutes once I took the earth orb. I simply had no freaking option!'

Ace thought bitterly with a hint of excitement, truth to be told, even if he can escape now with the earth orb he will still choose to create the martial Qi sea without any hint of hesitation.

He knew his path was filled with thorns and danger, without the appropriate power he will perish. He wasn't afraid of heavenly punishment; he was afraid of getting cold feet and giving up on this path!

Right now, it would be a lie to say Ace didn't love the path of a thief, but he always thought just how long he will be able to tread on it. Will he become a coward and give up thievery once he becomes strong enough and live peacefully with Eva afterward?

He always had these thoughts, but when he remembered about the mysterious system within him, all those fantasies started to crumble because he knew his life will never be peaceful or mundane as long as he had this thing.

So, he can only become more powerful with every chance he gets, so he might live a life of his preference.

"Tell me the conditions of forming the martial Qi sea?

" Ace sternly asked without any hint of hesitation. He was ready to take this step without any more anxiousness.

As for the consequences of his actions? Heh…he'll see when it comes.

Right now, it was time to face the second heavenly turbulent!
