Ascension Temple Portal (1)

When Antonio and Sofia arrive at the entrance to the underground secret passage, the Ancestor Giant suddenly appears. But before he could inquire what Antonio was up to, Ace says, "Please make arrangements and find the Crown Prince. I'll be going first." 

The ancestor was completely bewildered, and without saying anything more, he left. Sofia didn't find anything strange since Ace used selective words. It was now impossible to tell if he was using a soul art unless someone had a more powerful soul than him. 

After dealing with the ancestor, Ace led Sofia towards the cavern. As for the Ancestor, he wasn't too worried about it since he knew once he regained his senses, he'd completely forget about the commands of soul words. 

When they reached the gate guarded by the demonic winged tiger, Sofia was startled since it was her first time coming to this place, and she saw an eighth-realm beast guarding the entry passage.
