Eternal Thief - Chapter 1172: Beast Spirit Flames

In the forge of the Weston Clan, George stood in front of the forge table as he took out his own materials without touching any of the available materials. No one said anything, as everyone observed closely without making any sounds so as not to disturb the young forger.

Ace looked at three types of grade-8 ores, one had the appearance of a crystal ruby, it was a Soul Fire Crystal, one was like raw iron ore but with black markings on its surface, it was an Earthen Soul Iron, and lastly, a platinum ingot pulsing in blue hue called the Ocean Soul Platinum. They were all peak Grade-8 materials, and a peak Grade-9 Runic Smith can easily forge an Initiate stage Grade-9 Weapon with or treasure with them.

But they were clearly not enough because he needed to etch the Codex Runes on them to complete the process, so he also took out more materials for it.

Although Ace didn’t have any memoirs of Grade-9 Runic Smith, he did have Grade-8 ones, and he even had many techniques and information about them.

All of this was from the Mortal Sky Heart Empire treasury. With his current level and all those memories with experience, he was confident that he could pull this off!

Without hesitation, he enveloped eight materials for the codex runes with his dark-golden Twilight Soul Spirit Qi since he couldn’t show his real Heavenly Spirit Qi here, as he knew those two elders might sense its uniqueness.

The Twilight Spirit Qi was also unique, but he was sure that it wasn’t enough to alarm them as long as they didn’t know its true properties or look for the mystery behind it. But he still underestimated a 9-Star Ascension Grand General.

“That Spirit Soul Qi is special…” Elder Homer solemnly voiced while using Spirit Transmission on Elder Dewey.

Even Elder Dewey’s expression was dignified as he looked towards the ethereal dark golden spirit Qi, “Yes, I have never seen that kind of Qi before.

It has to be a unique elemental law. It seemed this lad was hiding even more than he was showing us.

Nonetheless, this only proved that he’s talented, and he might really be able to pull this off. But I’m interested in seeing what kind of method he uses for forging.

”

Unaware of the two Elders’ secret conversation, Ace lifted the materials with his Qi in front of him, looked towards Chuchu on his shoulder, and said softly, “Chuchu, I want you to use your spirit fire on these materials. You don’t need to worry about burning them; just use it normally.

”

Surprise flashed past Elder Dewey’s eyes when he heard George’s command, and he finally looked towards those two tiny beasts on his shoulder.

‘So, they weren’t just normal pets, but Magic Spirit Beasts with Spirit Fires! But why haven’t I seen them before, and there are no records of such beasts? But this boy is too soft.

He should’ve refined and taken their spirit fires. There is a massive difference between controlling the Spirit Fire yourself and borrowing it…’

‘It co-couldn’t be…’ However, Elder Dewey’s eyes widened suddenly when Chuchu nodded and raised her small claw, and golden ethereal fire suddenly appeared around those eight materials.

He wasn’t shown by Chuchu’s intelligence but because of the Golden Spirit Fire!

As someone who also has a spirit fire of his own, without it, one can’t truly be a Spirit Forger. Each spirit Fire has its own grade.

The lowest grade was the Elemental Grade Spirit Fires, which use Elements in the attoampere as fuel and could burn forever as long as the elementals exist.

Then come the Law Grade Spirit Fires, which use the Laws as fuels, and they can easily overpower Elemental Grade Spirit Fires no matter their grades.

But there was another aspect to Spirit Fires that only second-grade sects know. The Spirit Fire originated from the Beast Bloodline, and that’s why these Spirit Fires also have another name: Beast Spirit Flames!

There were two types of Beast Spirit Flames: Limited and Growth.

The former Spirit Fire would remain the same once it came into existence. Even if the Magic Beast related to the Spirit Fire managed to break past the limit of the Spirit Fire, it would never grow.

If a Grade-5 Spirit Fire is born in a magic beast of the Qi Gate Realm, even if that beast later breaks into the Law Comprehension Realm, the Spirit Fire will remain Grade-5. The only possible way to raise its grade was to break the bloodline shackle and reach the Law State, which was as impossible as raising the Spirit Fire grade.

It was the same case for magic beasts of the Law State.

Lastly, about 99% of beasts with the gift of Spirit Fire are born with limited type beast spirit flames.

However, the remaining 1% were born with the gift of Growth-Type Spirit Fire, which means their Spirit Fire can grow by absorbing other resources and spirit fires until they reach their true potential, which was extremely high. Furthermore, if they manage to break their limits, the growth-type spirit fire’s growth potential will increase again by a ridiculous degree.

These kinds of magic beasts usually have extremely powerful and mythical bloodlines. They were natural disasters, as no one dared provoke them.

Their fighting potential was terrifying, as they were capable of fighting over their realms.

Furthermore, the limited-type and growth-type Beast Spirit Flames were easily recognizable, for the former has a corporeal form while the latter has an ethereal form!

That’s why Elder Dewey was gobsmacked when he saw the form of Chuchu’s golden flames, and even Elder Homer’s eyes widened.

They were both extremely knowledgeable because of their statues, and they both used Spirit Fires, whether for fighting or forging. The IAG Sect has many records about Beast Spirit Flames, so it was even more impossible for them to recognize the difference.

But they were still filled with disbelief as they eyed the little beast on Ace’s shoulder since they knew a magic beast with growth-type spirit fire was impossible to tame, not to mention order it around like a house pet unless they wanted to turn it into ashes.

If the news got out, no one would dare believe it, yet they were witnessing this ridiculous scene themselves.

They also looked towards Cyrus, who was curiously watching everything with great interest. They looked at each other with clear disbelief since they knew their speculation was simply ridiculous.

Still, the complicated expressions in their eyes were evident, as if they were watching an illusion.

However, despite this world-breaking realization, they didn’t say anything since they knew if the people behind them watching knew that one of George ‘tame beasts’ had a growth-type Beast Spirit Flames, they would do anything to acquire it.

Even though they were tempted, they knew George’s talent and his importance to the sect while knowing that integrating with a growth-type Beast Spirit Flames was almost impossible for them before it burned them to cinders first.

Still, this news should be kept secret at all costs since the allure of growth-type beast Spirit Flames was simply too great to drive even an Ascension Guardian made with greed.

There was only one person in the entire Spirit Inferno Region who had ever managed to integrate with a growth-type beast flame and come out barely alive. Afterward, he conquered the entire Spirit Inferno Region while leaving behind his legends.

This person was the Founder of the Artificial Inferno Guardian Sect, Founder Anomalous Flame Lord!
