After Eva revealed the current situation, Ace started to connect the dots with a grave expression.

'When I first entered this place in that underground Dimension Teleportation Formation, the System told me that I needed 3 Grade-8 Space Crystals and a corresponding Teleportation Channel Activation Key to activate the Dimension Teleportation Formation.

'But even if I collect them, there is still a possibility that the other side of the formation was destroyed long ago.

'However, now, it seemed that this tower was standing above another Dimension Teleportation Formation and probably had the Teleportation Channel Activation Key, which is connected to the elven continent.

'I won't be surprised if that underground passage led me toward this tower as well, and that's why I was feeling danger at that time.'

The more he thought, the more he believed that it was likely the case.

Ace sighed as he wryly said, "If we teleported this tower, then we will be bringing the elven race's three most powerful figures back, and they will not just stand idle and investigate what happened.

"Here, I thought that to leave those elves here would cripple the elven race's power. This will make the elven continent chaotic, and I'll be able to move freely. But now, I need to find a way to escape without drawing three Law Awareness Realm cultivators' attention."

Eva also nodded since she also had the same thought before, but now that they had no choice, Ace had to be extremely careful once they reached the continent. He would be at the very heart of a foreign race's territory, and this would not bode well for him if he gets noticed.

"Are you confident?" She asked with scrutiny.

Ace didn't reply instantly but thought about something else, 'System also said I could try looking for some Independent Space Core, which should be at the core of this space. And as long as I can destroy that Core, this space will merge into Mortal Sky Heaven once the Independent Space Core is lost!

'My side mission's conditional reward is also connected with this space core. I was planning on giving up on it since I was in a hurry. But this situation is not good. This tower breakdown will alarm those three in the tower.

'But if I can somehow find the space core, this space most likely will merge to an unknown location which will at least not be in the heart of the elven continent.'

Ace's eyes shimmered as he looked at Eva and said seriously, "I think we don't need to teleport at all and fell into the dangerous situation."

Eva was astonished by this unexpected reply, "How?" She curiously inquired.

Ace didn't hide and told her about the Independent Space Core. Eva's eyes lit up when she heard Ace's plan.

"It's really, as you said, not only we'll be able to avoid confrontation with their forces, but we can go a step further." Eva's slyly snickered.

Now, it was Ace's turn to become astonished, "What do you want to add?'

Eva smiled coldly and said, "As long as you found that space core, you don't need this tower anymore, right?"

"Most likely." Ace nodded.

"Then how about it still activates this formation anyway and sends this tower away?" Eva meaningfully smiled.

Ace instantly understood what she meant and couldn't help but click his tongue, "This way, those elves will return, and they will also experience the fall of their 'holy tower.' Then even if I appeared in the elven continent, the upper echelon would be too busy panicking about the 'holy tower,' and I could freely move around."

"Heh, no bad." Eva laughed charmingly as she felt great joy when she thought about how elves would go crazy once this plan came into motion.

"You're not bad yourself." Ace also chuckled, and he had to admit Eva was still that clever girl who was the only one who had ever managed to find him to this day.

Ace then gravely said, "Now, we have to find that space core, and it should be in the center of this secret space and could be hidden anywhere."

Eva then smiled amusingly before she revealed, "Where do you think this tower is standing?"

Ace's eyes widened as he looked at Eva's amusing smile, "Don't tell me?"

Eve nodded, "This is exactly the center of this space, and let me tell you something interesting. Right under formation is a strange hollow area, and a huge amount of Qi is being transferred into this tower's floors!"

"So, that's where all the Qi go!" Ace exclaimed.

Eva chuckled in affirmation, "I would've never paid attention to this phenomenon if you hadn't told me about this space core. That space core is most likely underneath that formation, and this huge amount of Qi is likely coming from it, or there's a huge Qi stone mine.

"But it's quite unrealistic to have both Soul Crystal Lode and Qi Stone Lode together. This most likely what you're looking for."

Ace knew she was right about the part of two different lodes existing together. So, he didn't hesitate and asked with anticipation, "Can you take us there?"

He was now quite eager to get his hands on that space core since his thief's space would be upgraded with it, which was nothing but good news.

Eva gingerly said with pursed lips, "You're so eager to leave, huh?"

Ace seriously retorted, "I'm eager to find treasure with my wife!"

Eva rolled her eyes with disdain, "As I would believe you."

Still, she focused her eyes on the floor, and the next moment it slid open, revealing a long black staircase.

"This staircase can take us all the way to the lowest floor, where lies the exit of this tower," Eva stated.

Ace grinned in satisfaction, "Let's go then, milady!"

With entangled hands, they started to move and descend the long staircase!

While Ace was finding his way out of the secret realm, somewhere in the endless sea.

A bleak sailboat encased in a translucent barrier was moving at high speed, cutting past chaotic waters while the air around was murky.

A graceful figure was standing on top of the sail without seeming to be effective by the bumps.

She was looking at the bronze formation plate shimmering in black ancient ruins, and there was a strange needle continuing to point in a certain direction, and it was the exact direction the sailboat was moving.

Her melodious voice rang with elation, "I'm approaching the hidden entrance while those idiots are still waiting at the main entrance for it to open. By the time they will enter, I will be long gone with that spirit fire and then join the hunt for that hateful thief!"

In the end, there was nothing but bloodlust in her melodious voice…
