At this moment, Ace stood before a forging table and looked at a finished scarlet saber engraved with beautiful white runes on its bloody red sharp blade, giving it a faint, fiery, sharp aura.
The Guardian Spirit appeared in its Dwarven form and scrutinized the scarlet saber before speaking. "It took you 7 hours to complete the forging of the Upper Ascension Grade-2 Bloody Saber, a Quasi Spirit Weapon. Your forging skills have indeed improved quite a lot since the last time you were here. It's quite impressive."
The Guardian Spirit wasn't stingy with its praise; if anything, its cold voice contained a hint of surprise. After all, after witnessing Ace's strange 'cloning' ability that could even fool him, the Guardian Spirit was full of alarm, and he finally realized how terrifying Ace was despite only being an Ascension Warrior.
What's more, the Guardian Spirit still couldn't tell if the current Ace was real or that 'Clone, which had even higher cultivation than Ace. But alas, no matter how curious it was, since Ace was a legacy inheritor and the matter of sending his clone out wasn't effortful, he agreed to his request. But it also had a condition; Ace needed to pass the first legacy trial, or he wouldn't let him stay here. Now, it seemed Ace had already done this, so there was nothing to worry about.
Ace wasn't surprised by Guardian Spirit's remark since he knew his own skills better than anyone. In fact, he didn't even use his heavenly Qi or newly developed forging technique, or he would've created a true spirit treasure!
Still, Ace didn't want this since he had already shown one of his abilities, and if he really alarmed the Guardian Spirit, it might have the opposite effect. After all, if the Guardian Spirit considers Ace dangerous, he might directly throw him out.
After thoroughly examining the Bloody Saber, the Guardian Spirit nodded at Ace, "Congratulations, you have officially passed the first legacy trial, and you are one step closer to acquiring the inheritor of Grandmaster Smith. You'll be given the second part of the forging technique, and I also allow you to live in the Forger Abyss's second-level legacy grounds, which are filled with resources that you can use as long as you can find them.
"I'll also tell you that in the next trial, you need to forge another Quasi-Spirit treasure, but its grade will be Lower Ascension Grade-5. So, it would be best if you focused on your cultivation now. With your skills, you should be able to do it as long as you reach the Ascension Master Realm. I have high hopes for you, so don't disappoint me."
Ace's eyes flashed with a peculiar glint as he secretly calculated, 'No, I should be able to do it as long as I reach the Grand General Realm if I put everything I had. But I'm done with these games, and now that my avatar is going to the king sect, I realize that this realm has little value to me except its resources. I need to find where the core of this place is stored!"
"I won't disappoint you!" Ace quickly promised a resolution.
The Guardian Spirit nodded in satisfaction before it waved its hand, and Ace's figure vanished from the forge.
Suddenly, the Guardian Spirit showed a hint of slyness as he muttered, "Little guy, you are good, in fact, too good. But that little girl who entered a few hours ago is even more monstrous, and she is about to take the second legacy trial. I guess this legacy has no destiny with you..."
At this moment, Ace appeared on a vast rocky plain, and he instantly knew this place should be where the disciples of the AIG Sect gathered resources. It was also rich with spirit Qi.
However, Ace was no longer interested in those low-grade resources since he had the wealth of a bank branch.
Furthermore, after calculating the time, Ace knew the system evaluation was about to end, so he quickly found a remote place and remained there.
Ace didn't have to wait long. At this moment, the mission panel opened, and the system's voice rang.

Ace was pleasantly surprised to see he had received an Extraordinary Evaluation Grade. When he looked at the rewards, his eyes shimmered with ecstasy. Just the TP reward from this basic mission was enough to make him smile from ear to ear.
However, when he saw the other rewards, his eyes widened more and more, especially when he read the details of the Primordial Evolution Item Token, and his breath quickened since he wasn't expecting the system to have a way to turn normal treasures into system grades, primordial/ heavenly treasures!
The moment Ace comprehended the value of this Primordial Evolution Item Token, Ace instantly decided what to use without any hesitation!
But first, he needed to see what this newly upgraded Primordial Runic Platform Panel was since the system's reward this time was more focused on runes!
