Immortika burst into wanton laughter the moment Jacob connected the dots as if extremely glad, and said, "Correct, the Yin and Yang energies are mediatory to have if someone wants to step into the domain of the Vitality Architect..."
Jacob’s eyes flickered with a hint of ecstasy when Immortika confirmed his conjecture. As he increased his power, he also continued to seek the materials needed for the third phase and to clarify the role of the Vitality Architect.
The Vitality Architect was the only requirement Jacob had never heard of before, nor was he able to find any clues regarding it, even in the database of the Timeless City.
Jacob even considered using a wish to gather information about the Vitality Architect after entering the Upper Plains, should he still be unable to make a breakthrough.
Furthermore, Jacob was also using the immortal Chapter to have a breakthrough regarding the Vitality Architect, and he knew he hadn’t even scratched its surface.
But now, all of a sudden, he acquired the main component to become a Vitality Architect. How could he not be excited? This was truly an unexpected gain!
"Hehe, don’t be happy too soon. You have just met the basic requirements to become a Vitality Architect, but you are still far away from becoming one. I haven’t told you about the Vitality Architect before because you didn’t awaken the Yin and Yang energy sources with your Cursed Heart.
"However, now that you already have it, I can give you a general explanation about how to proceed forward. To become a Vitality Architect, one needs to have a deep comprehension of all vitalities of the Universe, and also knowledge of the anatomy of life and death.
"You don’t have to understand and learn everything just enough for you to create a lifeform of vitality, and to instill a freewill in that lifeform, you need to understand the vitalities. That’s the only clues you’ll get from me." Immortika stated cryptically.
Jacob’s eyes contorted as it was the first time Immortika had given him so many clues about the Vitality Architect. Although they were far from comprehensive knowledge, they were still enough to direct him towards the correct path.
However, there was still a question that Jacob wanted to ask as he coldly questioned, "I appreciate the heads-up. But I want to know what would’ve happened if I didn’t have the Yin Ice and Yang Flame? I mean, how was I supposed to awaken the Yin and Yang energy sources on my own?"
"Hehehe, I knew you won’t let it go. Well, it’s not a big deal. If you haven’t stumbled upon Yin Ice or Yang Flame, there are other ways to awaken the Yin and Yang energy source with your cursed heart.
"It’s just that the Yin Ice and Yang Flame are the highest source of Yin and Yang energies within the Zodiac Plains, which can lead to the Creation. So, acquiring them is not bad but only good.
"As long as you can learn to use the Yin and Yang energies and become a Vitality Architect with them, you won’t need to worry about ever finding a new source of Yin and Yang energies because they’ll grow with you now!" Immortika revealed.
Realization dawned on Jacob at that moment, and he couldn’t help but look at the cursed book in front of him with a peculiar intent in his eyes. Although he still has more questions, he knows better than to waste his time asking them when he’ll barely receive a straight answer.
At that moment, something came to Jacob’s mind that also needed Immortika’s input, as he inquired, "I’m planning on releasing the Divine Soulless Pagoda. Can the current Infinite Space handle it?"
Jacob has acquired the Divine Soulless Pagoda on his trip to the Ghost Domain as the Soulless Ghost King. Just like the Temple of the Blazing Flame, the Divine Soulless Pagoda carries the legacy of the Soulmancers.
However, the Divine Soulless Pagoda was far more sinister than the Temple of the Blazing Flame, because of its artifact spirit, Soulless!
If not because of the Cursed Immortality, Jacob might’ve turned into Soulless’s puppet, and that’s why he didn’t dare to let it out until he was completely ready and made sure it was absolutely safe to release that Divine Treasure.
Now that Jacob has gathered all the powers he possibly could, he naturally wanted to control the divine treasure since it could become his biggest reliance against his enemy.
However, Jacob was too weak to control the Divine Treasure, so he wanted to practice Soulmancy to create more trump cards. Yet, even that has risks, so without Immortika’s approval, he won’t release that treasure.
"Oh, I was wondering when you’ll use that. Right now, the Infinite Space is still too small to release a divine treasure fully. Although they’ll still be suppressed, you won’t achieve your goals without fully releasing them and reducing the suppression.
"Especially that temple divine treasure, you shouldn’t release it until you complete the infinity pendant. As for that pagoda, its artifact spirit isn’t at its full strength and requires time and resources to recover to its full power.
"So, you can release it, but you have to be very careful since the artifact spirit is quite interesting. Hehehe~!"
Jacob’s eyes flickered with hesitation when he heard Immortika’s words because he could imagine the concept of divine treasures. Currently, he was only a Quasi-Myth, and the infinite space was still not truly infinite, not to mention it was still incomplete due to the lack of the Longevity Path Glory Gem.
That was another reason Jacob didn’t release the Divine Soulless Pagoda, and now the Temple of the Blazing Flame.
"I guess then I’ll wait. I already have an inheritance of Soulmancy, and all I need to do is gather souls. I can do it without the Divine Soulless Pagoda for now." Jacob muttered as he instantly decided not to release the Divine Soulless Pagoda because of his cautious nature.
Although the Divine Soulless Pagoda might make his path of the Soulmancy easier, Jacob didn’t want to risk releasing the artifact spirit Soulless and then being constantly on guard against it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jacob then unsummoned the cursed book and returned to the Mechanized Sovereign Tower!
