On this day, Jacob left the black coral, which was now completely hollowed inside, after two decades. Although Jacob looked the same, his demeanor and aura were different; they were more refined and profound.
At this moment, a fine black streak appeared in front of Jacob before it vanished into his body.
Jacob's lips curled up slightly before he sent a telepathy message, "Did you take care of it?"
"Yes, they won't be able to uncover anything," Autarch replied in an emotionless, stoic voice.
Since Jacob was done with the sturgeon region, there was no longer a need for Autarch to stay here anymore, so Jacob summoned him back. Although this would cause a huge commotion when the people found the Sturgeon Baron was dead with many of his close aids, it has nothing to do with Jacob.
Jacob waved his hand, and the water lightning whale appeared in front of him. This water lightning whale was now under Autarch's control, so he could use it as a means of transport without expanding his own energy. He jumped on it, and the whale headed west at full speed.
"What about those envoys? Did you find their purpose in coming here?" Jacob asked while sitting on the whale.
"They seemed to be here to install a magic array on the imperial palace order. But they don't know about the function of that array. Furthermore, it seems that this isn't just limited to the sturgeon region. Like those two, other envoys have also been sent to other regions of the Mighty Whale Empire." Autarch replied.
Jacob frowned slightly, "How peculiar. Are those other envoys also have the same purpose?"
"There isn't any information about it. But it all started over three years ago."
"Hmm… it seems we should keep our distance from the Mighty Whale Empire for the time being. You did an excellent job these past years, so tell me if you want any reward." Jacob generously offered, as he was in a good mood right now.
Autarch had been supplying him with fresh subjects for the past ten years, and he knew that without Autarch's help, he wouldn't be able to comprehend the blood glyphs in peace and in such a short time.
"Thank you for asking, but severing, Sir, is my biggest reward." Autarch emotionlessly replied.
"Hah, just think it over." Jacob chuckled as he knew Autarch didn't have any EQ at all despite having so many memories of emotional beings.
This was one of Autarch's limitations. But Jacob liked Autarch even more because of this.
"Anyway, you should've reached the peak of the unique rank, right? What's the condition of your next evolution to legendary rank, or do you need to undergo the three steps of legend first?" Jacob asked in a somewhat bitter tone.
He knew how ridiculous Autarch's evaluation process was, just like his hex core. If he hadn't had the titan tears, Autarch would've never made it to the unique rank because to become a unique rank, he required absorbing the brain of a first-tier fable legendary rank existence!
"I had indeed reached the ninth tier of Unique Rank a year ago, and I have a memory of my next evolution. I can directly become legendary rank as long as I can absorb the brain of a Third Tier Legendary King!" Autarch emotionlessly replied as if a Legendary King was a trifle being.
Jacob couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard it. There are four states of legendary rank: Fable with 12 tiers, Noble with nine tiers, Lord with six tiers, and finally, the King state with three tiers. This means that Autarch required the brain of a peak legendary rank existence to become a legendary rank.
'Well, at least it wasn't a rank above the legendary rank.' Jacob comforted himself and replied to Autarch, "It seemed you have to wait for a long time since we can only say this after we enter the middle galaxies."
"I'll follow sir's order," Autarch replied without hesitation.
'I wonder when Nyx will awake? She's taking even more time than Autarch, and her evolution path is different from others…' Jacob thought.
He still couldn't access the nightmare realm because Nyx was still evolving, but if he had, he might've made progress even faster.
With the water lightning whale, Jacob leaves the sturgeon region and soon enters the territory of the Mighty Whale Empire. He enters the barren part of the ocean unoccupied by the Mighty Whale Empire because, in this place, there is no mana in the water, which is quite strange.
But for Jacob, this was the perfect place to start the cursed bone marrow amalgamation since no one paid attention to this place, and he didn't need the required mana to control his cursed heart.
He didn't even think about going back to the surface since he didn't want to be interrupted by the Queen Ice Fiend Locust.
After finding a seclusive location, he used an array to make a hidden barrier and set up an alarm before he sat down in the middle of the barrier.
"Cursed Immortality!" Jacob summoned the cursed book with a determined look in his eyes and couldn't help but ask before he started, "Is there Anything that I should be aware of before I start this?"
"Hahahaha… the time finally comes, huh?" Immortika wrote, "I'm afraid you have to walk on this path on your own. Just keep in mind that while sculpting a runic line, you have to complete it entirely!"
"I was expecting this kind of reply. Thanks for this advice." Jacob scoffed before he turned back the page and opened the longevity schema picture. He had engraved this picture into his brain, but he didn't dare to be careless.
After taking a deep breath, he fixed his eyes on the three-
dimensional image of the longevity schema. With his thought, the picture suddenly started to zoom towards the skeleton's hand and stopped on the pinky finger.
Jacob wanted to start with the pinky finger first and wanted to see what would happen. There were nine runic lines around, and those runic lines were made of extremely tiny glyphs.
"Blood Threads!"
