Chapter 556 Inscrutable Immortal
??After the small incident with the Zodiac Night Guardian, Jacob didn''t directly return to the ship, but he waited for the night before taking different paths just in case someone was monitoring him.
Furthermore, he doesn''t use any ship to travel in the star ocean; instead, he directly dives in and uses his water magic to head back with Sofie. This way, no one would be able to find him.
At this moment, Brogan''s figure appeared above the calm ocean, and with him was a small figure. Furthermore, they were standing on a small flying ship, which waspletely invisible. This kind of technology was unheard of in the epic ins.
"He''s too careful. What should we do now, Grandpa? We won''t be able to find his hideout." The small figure stated with unwillingness.
If Jacob were here, he would instantly identify this person because he was the same person who escaped Jacob''s clutches in the forest of the epic ins trial by using a teleportation talisman and also revealed its existence.
Brogan''s expression was dark before he sighed, "He''s really careful. I was hoping to confirm if he had given away the medallion or not since the device didn''t pick up anything on his person.
"So, there is a chance that he left it somewhere else. But now, we can''t go after him since it might expose our flying ship. Let''s go back; I''ll report it to the higher-ups. What they do after that has nothing to do with us."
"It''s all that bastard Nelsen''s fault; if he hadn''t forfeited, we wouldn''t be having this trouble." The person said hatefully.
"That guy was only protecting his own family, and we can''t do anything to him since his n has some ties with us. Forget about it, you were almost died in that ce, it''s time for you to increase your power in our territory. You are my hope to escape the Lesser Grand Absolute Gxy of Taurus and enter the middle ins." Brogan looked at his grandson gently.
"I won''t disappoint you, Grandpa. Let that bastard dance in the lesser ins. He won''t be able to escape the conflict ins." He sneered with disdain.
Almost dying by Jacob''s hand was the biggest humiliation of his life, and the most hateful thing was he still didn''t know what happened that day. That''s why both Brogan, and he didn''t take excessive action against Jacob because they were afraid of that exact power.
Thereafter, both of them left and vanished on the horizon.

A few hourster, Jacob finally returned to the ind where the old crew was camping, and he told Mic he was going into seclusion to prepare for their long journey, and the Dark City''s higher-ups were alsoing with them.
In truth, Jacob was waiting for Autarch to be done with Masha, and this would also give Nyx the time to absorb all the people''s lifespans here.
After knowing about the absolute factions and the zodiac ins, he knew he was still just a drop in the ocean, so he needed to get stronger constantly. At least he needed the strength of legend rank, which was too far away from him.
There was no information on this rank in Epic ins. Maybe he found some clues in the dark city of the unique ins. Still, the star ocean was filled with unknown, so he needed all the power he could muster up.
The only way was the Cursed Immortality or the Art of Nature. But the third meditation exercise, the Lightning Meditation, required an environment filled with lightning, just like the fire desert, and he didn''t know any such ce. Hence, he had to put all his attention on the Immortal Chapter of the Cursed Immortality.
Jacob opened the cursed immortality''s immortal chapter and stared at the blood drop, and after an hour, he still didn''t find any profundity.
In the end, Jacob carefully opened his eyes of judge, and the moment heid his eyes on the blood drop, he suddenly saw he was surrounded by nothing but crimson blood, and in this strange ce, he saw shining glyphs floating.
But just as he was about to look at those glyphs closely, a piercing pain attacked his head, and his vision darkened; the next moment, he appeared in his room, pale and sweating profusely with sharp pain in his head and eyes.
A few minutester, the pain finally went away, and their vision returned to normal, but he felt extreme fatigue. He began to eat some meat he prepared before as he looked at the drop of blood profoundly.
"So, that''s what you''re hiding." He muttered as he finally saw what Immortika was talking about, and without the eyes of judge, he might never have been able to see through this drop of blood in his lifetime.
The page on the cursed immortality turned, and Immortika wrote, "Hehe, you''re quite daring to use your eyes, which aren''t even the initial stage of their awakening, to peer into the immortal chapter. Do this ten more times, and you''ll be forever blind. Then don''t me me for not warning you, hahaha."
Jacob was shocked as his expression grew dark, "Initial stage? Can you please just exin what I need to do to awake them?"
"I can''t help you with that. You need to figure these things out on your own. All I can do is give you subtle hints and warnings. You better start taking it more seriously. You are very lucky to have the eyes of judge, so don''t ruin them, or even your ancestors would cry blood if they found out about it. Hahahaha…" Immortikaughed in relish.
Jacob frowned when suddenly a realization struck him, "My ancestors… don''t tell me I need to investigate this bloodline to learn their secrets. I was really stupid, all I have to do is to look into my bloodline, and I''ll know the answer."
"Hahaha… I didn''t say anything." Immortika still didn''t admit it, but it had clearly given Jacob a very precious hint, like always.
Jacob didn''t mind since this was all he needed. He couldn''t help but sigh, "I guess my confrontation with the Faery Humans of the Unique ins is unavoidable, huh?"
Since he can''t see through the immortal chapter, he decides not to waste time and focus on the scripture of nk to increase his power.
Time passed, and on this day, Jacob waved his sleeve, and Masha appeared in front of him.
She suddenly opened her bewitching eyes, which werepletely emotionless, and seeing smiling Jacob in front of her, she kneeled in front of him and emotionlessly said, her, she kneeled in front of him and emotionlessly said, "Autarch, greets Sir!"
