After Jacob was ready to set off, he finally stepped towards the sealed door, which hadn't been open for almost a thousand years. The last ti he ca out was to check on Elia and give her more resources since that little girl had been living in this underground cavern for over nine hundred years at that ti.
But for so reason, she always seed to be deeply focused on the Liber Chaotica and the knowledge that Jacob had given her. Even Jacob had to admit that she was an obedient and diligent child. But she had also co to beco cold and sowhat indifferent as she grew, and only in front of Jacob would she show so emotions.
However, this matters little to Jacob since he only cares about her power rank. Right now, she should already be a peak Quasi-Legend, Jacob thought.
After all, not everyone can rise through the ranks like Jacob, and achieving a Quasi Legend rank from the unique rank in 2,000 years could still be considered a genius feat, especially given the difficulty of comprehending the inheritance like the Liber Chaotica.
However, the mont Jacob opened the stone door and entered the hall, his eyes narrowed slightly because only now did he sense that Autarch wasn't within range of his detection.
After all, now that Jacob was a Quasi-Myth, his perception was terrifying. After his soul had turned into a soul star, he also seed to have awakened an innate sense that allowed him to sense spiritual or physical presences around him.
But his Eyes of Judge were still superior, and now that they were already at the advanced awakening stage, Jacob didn't need to use his soul force to keep them active anymore.
Moreover, Autarch's bond with Jacob was extrely special, so when he tried to sense Autarch, he instantly noticed he wasn't here. It wasn't his fault for not noticing either, since he was too imrsed in the Immortal Chapter and completing the second phase to learn everything he could about the new phase.
Furthermore, Jacob wasn't expecting Autarch to leave without his instruction since he had assigned Autarch to keep an eye on Elia but stay hidden. So, Jacob instantly suspected that it had sothing to do with Elia!
His eyes flickered coldly, and with a single step, Jacob was inside Elia's chamber. It was almost like teleportation, but Jacob's speed had reached a terrifying degree that no normal eyes could follow him. This also involved the mystery of space law and the Astral Lightseed he had assimilated.
Just as he expected, Elia's chamber was empty, and the coldness in Jacob's eyes beca increasingly chilly. He quickly tried sensing the Soul Tether Hex, and the coldness in his eyes lessened a bit when he confird that it was still in place.
At this mont, Jacob's eyes suddenly fell on the stone table, and he instantly noticed beautiful words engraved on it: 'Teacher, I've sensed sothing extrely important to not far away from our place. I don't know what it is, but this feeling is becoming more and more powerful as ti passes.
'I tried to tell you, but you seed very busy doing sothing important, so I've decided to take a look. i promise I'll be very careful and won't do anything reckless, and I'll co back as soon as I sense any danger. Your disobedient student, Elia!'
"This reckless girl is courting death! Didn't I already warn her that this place isn't sothing that the likes of her can explore!? Furthermore, what could compel her to make such a reckless move?
'Don't tell it has to do with the inheritance of the Cursed Necromancer King? And more importantly, why didn't Autarch alert ? Could it be my mind was in the Immortal Chapter at that ti, so he didn't receive my response, and since that foolish girl decided to leave, Autarch followed her since it was his task?
'If that's the case, then hundreds of years have passed!'
The more Jacob thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He was furious at this mont since if soone happened to Elia, all his efforts would be in vain. Not to ntion, this place was the Valley of Sunless Dusk, and even a legendary king might not be able to keep his life here.
Even if he was now terrifyingly powerful, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he was invincible; he had learned his lesson in the lesser galaxies.
But no matter what, he needed to save Elia and, more importantly, Autarch since Autarch was even more important to him than Elia.
Furthermore, Jacob didn't know how long it had been precisely since they had gone out, but from the covering and Elia's words, he learned a long ti had passed, which made him even more agitated. It was as if just when everything seed to be going according to plan, sothing always seed to go wrong.
Without hesitation, Jacob sensed Autarch's position with their connection, and soon he received a response. With the position he had and the presence of the Autarch, he was sure that they went deeper in the Valley, towards the Wailing Peaks!
The next mont, Jacob's figure again vanished. Thereafter, he appeared above the entrance to the underground cavern in the bone forest and directly disappeared into the direction of Wailing Peaks!
Within seconds, Jacob crossed hundreds of miles and even sensed the ghostly presence. He suspected them to be the wandering Necrofiends of the bone forest. But now that he was a Legendary King, he didn't need to pay any attention to them.
Even those Wraith Lords won't pose any threat to him, especially now that he was using the stealth of Illusionary Space Symbiont Skin. Only a Quasi-Myth or Lesser God might be able to detect him if they were looking for him.
As Jacob headed deeper and deeper into the bone forest, he started to sense the dense presence of the law of Death, and sothing else only now entered his perception.
'Curse... there is a faint aura of curses!' Jacob's eyes narrowed, 'Could this power of curse draw that girl? After all, her zodiac constitution is related to curses, and in this aspect, she is even more sensitive towards curses than , at least for now. I hope she won't drag down Autarch with her...'
The more Jacob thought about it, the more solemn his expression beca because he could now hear faint wailing that seed to affect the soul. Looking ahead, he could see the silhouette of jagged mountains. He had reached the vicinity of Wailing Peaks!
