"I'll try my best not to disappoint you, Master!" White quickly promised.
Ace was really motivated now as this task of the Union Leader directly aligned with his current mission. Now, this opportunity really felt like an opportunity, and Ace wasn't someone who would miss it.
The Union Leader has no idea that he just invited a wolf into his own backyard. He smiled in a content manner as he was quite pleased with White's resolute personality.
"As I said before, there is no need to push yourself. Although this is one of the biggest opportunities present in our union, it won't be the last. As long as you start cultivating in the Yin Yang Mortal Sword Manual, the sky is your limit.
"I'll always be here to guild you and have your back. You just need to focus on inheriting the full legacy of the Union." The Union Leader graciously stated.
White solemnly nodded, "I'll keep that in mind."
Union Leader chuckled, "This palace is called the Above Mountains Palace, for it is above the union mountains, and only I lived here. But now, you have your own courtyard in the south of the palace, and you can come and go as you, please.
"Just pour Qi in your token, and you'll know how to come here, and the same goes for leaving. If you have any questions, you can contact me through it, and I'll summon you. As for cultivation resources, you can claim as many as you want from the domain treasuries in the six domains."
Ace was astonished by the Union Leader's generosity, he clearly knew just how big the union was, and now the resources of the three sun domains and three moon domains were at his disposal.
'Is it this simple to gain so many resources by becoming a disciple of the top figure in an organization? It must say it's easier than theft.' Ace thought before he scoffed thievishly at his own thoughts the next moment, 'But this also means I need to pull up my weight if I want the same treatment forever, while with theft, I need to do it once, and everything belonged to me with no strings attached. Although I would gain enemies, it's worth it as long as I got the treasures!'
Although he was giving White free rein, this didn't mean he won't monitor his actions.
This could also be a test to see White's true nature, or all these benefits might end once White proved to be useless. No one could tell what the Union Leader's true motives were, but Ace knew Union Leader did his motives.
Because in Ace's experience, everyone was driven by a motive, whether it was good or bad.
The Union Leader has no idea about Ace's true thoughts as he is done explaining White's new status.
"Now, tell me, how do you want to proceed?" He asked.
White answered without hesitation, "I would like to spend some time in the library of the outer sun domain before I would try challenging the cultivation tower trials."
The Union Leader didn't reject White's idea and nodded, "Very well, do as you see fit. But don't waste your three chances."
"Understood."
"Go and tell the Sun Lord where to drop you. He'll behave from now on." The Union Leader dismissively uttered.
"Farewell, Master!" White bowed before he left toward the exit of the hall.
The Union Leader's amiable smile vanished the moment White's figure left the throne hall, and the gates were closed.
A heavy yet spooky voice rang within the silent hall, "Three chances?! Hahahaha… Old Swindler, tricking a kid like this, it is even low for you."
Hearing the naked ridicule in this voice, the Union Leader's face didn't change at all as he merely glanced at the ten statues with a hint of annoyance.
Strangely unlike their previous stable state, they were now glowing in different colors, and the voice sounded from a gray status of a Demon.
"I'm not tricking him. I just want to see if he has what it takes to free us all from this prison!" The Union Leader coldly declared.
"Hehehehe… still lying through your teeth, eh? Do you think anyone would believe a liar like you?" A devilish voice rang from the devil's status shining in black, and it was filled with hatred.
"Sigh… he just wanted to confirm if that little doll has what it took to threaten his position in this world. Even I have to admit that boy's talent is probably peerless in this era, but alas, he ended up born in this cursed place." A sad melodious voice rang from the status of an elven beauty who was glowing in golden color.
The Union Leader sneered at this moment as a hint of madness flashed past his eyes, "Believe it or not, I really wanted to leave this goddamn world for good. But trust me, there is only one chance, and the moment it fails, the Union will be reset like before!"
"You, sick pig, don't sound so righteous. It made me want to piss on your nine ancestors' graves!" A burly man's status who was quite small in compared to the others started to curse vilely. He was Dwarf's status shone in an emerald glow.
"You always talk about this 'Reset' just what is?" A human-like status glowing in purple color questioned ruefully. It was a hunter!
The Union Leader's expression remained the same even after the dwarf statue's cursing, and he replied, "Even if I told you guys, you would never understand the horror of this place. Like I told you guys millions of times, once you are born in the union, you will die in the union. There is no escape."
His eyes lit in madness as he uttered, "The world is nothing but a wasteland. To escape it, we must escape the union!"
At this moment, the statue of a handsome man glowing in white, how was none other than a human's statue, glowed brightly before a horsed voice rang,
"Old Swindler, I once believed you and ended up in this state for thousands of years. So, I know you are lying. It took me thousands of years to figure it out, but I know you are the one behind everything, and your goal is something else!"
The Union Leader's expression remained the same, but a peculiar ripple flashed past his eyes as he called, "Clavus…!"
