?In the middle of a tropical forest, a ck hole suddenly manifested before it started to grow bigger and only stabilized when it was the size of a person.


    Thereby, a ck-d person wearing a hood walked out before the ck hole vanished.


    Jacob couldn''t help but take a deep breath as he somewhat enjoyed the fresh scent of nature. He didn''t know where he was, but it sure wasn''t the gloomy Dark Woonds.


    He then tapped two times over his wrist before a projection materialized. It was his new star watch with a projection feature. But it was only one of its minor functions.


    Jacob had already made himself familiar with this star watch while he was still in the dark space.


    It can not only send messages but also receive calls and video calls; there was even something like a projection call in this thing. Not only that, but this watch also had a radar and mapping function, and a powerful one at that.


    This star watch''s most astonishing function was its magic detection ability. As long as Jacob activated it, then it didn''t matter if someone was living or dead. As long as they were in a 10-mile radius and had magic, they will appear as color dots within a virtual map.


    The limit of this feature was 9-star!


    Jacob had never thought the Star Watch could do this, and just this feature alone makes it indispensable for Jacob.


    Jacob activated the magic detection feature, and a virtual square map projection appeared, but it was empty, and a loaded icon appeared with a one-minute timer.


    ''It scanning the surrounding area?'' Jacob was astonished as he patiently waited.


    A minute passed before a green 3D map appeared, and Jacob could easily see terranes and zoom anywhere he wanted.


    There was nothing with magic in a 10-mile radius around him, so after fiddling with the map, he closed it since this feature was more useful in ces like dark ruins.


    Then Jacob activated another map, which was actually the entire map of the Rare ins which he had bought for 10 ZC from SAAI. Furthermore, this map was not an ordinary map, but a GPS Map connected to the starwork.


    pαпdα`noν?1`сoМ This means as long as he had a star watch on, he could easily determine his position and use it for navigation or set up routes on this map.


    Strangely, the GPS was not avable in the star watch. Even Jacob''s advance-type-1 Star Watch didn''t have one.


    Upon asking, SAAI revealed the GPS Map was only avable to someone like Jacob with Type-1 Star Privilege, and it was none shareable!


    Jacob quickly determined where he was on the map, and he frowned because somehow, he had appeared on the outskirts of the Magic Beast Forest, which was in Rare Wilderness and was also the central region of the rare ins.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    From here, the Freedom ins and Wild Nation were one year of travel away!


    ''Well, it''s not like I need something from that ce anyway. It might be a good thing since I was nning to travel far away from that ce. Since the barrier is lifted, those two factions are bound to fight tooth and nail with each other.


    ''Especially the dark beings who seemed to have an advantage over the rare ins before. However, now that the living being from the other ins can enter infinity and dark beings'' number has be limited, things might turn worse for Dark Beings.


    ''They will definitely be curious about who cleared the trial, and those bigwigs would also know about the benefits that came with clearing the trial. So, I need to keep a low profile until there is no threat remaining for me in rare ins…'' Jacob''s eyes shimmered coldly.


    Without wasting any more time, Jacob headed north to find some secluded ce. The magic beast forest was insanelyrge, asrge as both freedom ins and wild nationbined or evenrger.


    Jacob didn''t want to pick a fight with magic beasts in this ce since he was in their territory, not until he needed to.


    After hours of carefully searching, Jacob finally found a location that was actually a small waterfall. However, with his current strength, the water pressure was nothing to him, and he cut open a cave right behind the waterfall with his new swords.


    He knew what he was about to do; he needed absolute secrecy and couldn''t be careless. So, he made arge enough cave to create the ritual array formation and blocked the entrance again with stones.


    After he was done, Jacob didn''t spring into action immediately but rested as he ate more wyvern meat. He wanted to be in optimal condition before he started the ritual.


    He slept for an unknown time before he woke up as he felt refreshed and energetic and all his fatigue from the dark ruins was behind him.


    Jacob''s eyes turned sharp as he said, "Cursed Immortality!"


    It had been months since he summoned Cursed Immortality, and he never thought he would be able to survive without its guidance. But he did, and now he knew too much rying will only do him more harm than good. Still, this didn''t mean he won''t use his assets just because of his ego.


    Cursed Immortality manifested, and a string of familiarughter appeared, "…hahaha… you sure take your sweet time to summon me. I started to feel rather lonely!"


    Jacob pursed his lips, "Cut the nonsense and tell me why can''t I summon you in the dark ruins? Are you afraid to be detected, or ces like dark ruins canpletely block you off?"


    Jacob was quite interested in this topic since it was rted to Zodiac Will.


    "Aren''t you had enough fun while in dark ruins? Why don''t you ask that AI? She might be able to answer you!"


    Jacob''s lips curled up, "So you weren''t blocked, but afraid. Got it. Now on to main business, tell me how much space I need to set up the ritual array formation!"
