Chapter 775: Realizations!
?
Jacob sat cross-legged in the newly opened cave. His ming eyes werepletely gone, leaving behind two hollow sockets.
He was in this position for hours as he was trying to focus on his cursed heart, which had apparently merged with his spiritual neb and was currently hidden within his head.
At this moment, suddenly, Jacob could ''see'' a spherical neb filled with ethereal neon mists surrounded by endless darkness.
''I seed!'' Jacob was ted as he knew this neb was none other than his own soul.
After hisst encounter with death, Jacob seemed to have gained some kind of control over his inner self, and he could feel that the soul force had also undergone some peculiar changes. That''s why he didn''t leave to explore the path of legend; he wanted toprehend this more. Just as he thought, after focusing his soul force, he was able to track back to its origin, which was also his soul. Utilizing the Eyes of Judge, he seemed to have connected his vision with his soul force as well.
Now, he was able to see his spiritual neb, but it wasn''t enough for Jacob, as he wanted to see the cursed heart and his magic cores'' situation. So, upon focusing on the spiritual neb, Jacob''s vision started to draw nearer and nearer until he was within the neon neb filled with countless particles. It was a very strange experience, as he could feel a sense of familiarity with those particles.
Jacob didn''t know how deep he hade or how long it had taken him, but when he seemed to have reached the very center of the neb, he was able to see a breathtaking, spectacr scene.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He saw the inky ck cursed heart pulsing with crimson light, and within one of its lopes was the revolving hex core. But it wasn''t all as he found his Fire Core and Water Core revolving around the cursed heart-likes around its star, and then he finally noticed that it wasn''t just his two magic cores; instead, the entire neb seemed to be revolving around the cursed heart.
Jacob found himself stuck watching this grand scene that was happening right within him. A sense of profoundness washed over him as if he wereprehending something.
More time passed until he lost his sense of time when he suddenly snapped out of that strange state. Even what made Jacob uncertain was that he didn''t know what he had just grasped. It was like he knew, but he forgot about it the moment he gained his sense.
At this moment, ''What is that?'' Jacob was startled when he noticed that there was something attached to his water magic core.
It was a block of ethereal purple ice that was half absorbed into his water magic core. It was as if it was integrating with his water magic core, which shocked him since it was too strange; there was nothing like this around his fire magic core.
Furthermore, now that he was focusing on his water core, he could actually sense something strange happening to it.
The next moment, Jacob''s vision shifted as his empty eye sockets suddenly lit up. His vision returned to the empty cave.
But his eyes were burning with disbelief and a hint of anticipation as he guessed something. Without waiting, Jacob raised his palm in front of him and then channeled water mana.
The next moment, ethereal blue mana swirled on top of his palm, but unlike before, it had a hint of purple mixed in it, and he could feel a terrifying chill from it. Apparently, he had sensed this kind of chillness before.
"Yin Ice!"
Jacob instantly realized that the block of purple ice integrating with his water core was none other than Yin Ice, the main part of the damaged legendary treasure Yin Sky Ind. He was supposed to get it but was interfered with by Golden Constant and his goons.
He had almost forgotten about it after he was barely able to keep his life, so he didn''t care about some treasure he failed to grab. But now, it seemed that Immortika had not only saved his life and brought him to the path of legend ahead of time, but it had even helped him with Yin Ice.
Jacob felt even moreplicated when he realized this. He even wanted to summon the cursed book and questioned why the yin ice was so important and what its effects would be on his magic core once it was sessfully assimted.
But he decided not to and waited until the integration process wasplete. He just didn''t want to give the cursed book the satisfaction of seeing his current state of mind. Nheless, despite his gratefulness, Jacob''s vignce was still the same, or he wouldn''t be wasting his time conforming to the changes in his body.
After calming down, Jacob probes another hidden space within his body, the sr plexus, where Autarch is located. Thest time he checked, Autarch was still wounded.
But when he investigated his sr plexus, Jacob was astounded because Autarch was fully recovered; even its broken body waspletely regenerated.
Jacob''s mind raced as hemunicated with Autarch, "You recovered?"
"Sir!" Autarch''s emotionless voice rang, "I''ve recovered some time ago, and I''m d that you are fine. I wasn''t able to reach you previously."
"I was unconscious." Jacob stated, "For how long have you been unable to reach me?" Autarch replied without hesitation, "I don''t know the exact time, but it took me around 4 years to recover, and I instantly tried to reach you. I think 5 more years have passed since then!"
''I''ve been out for over nine years!?'' Jacob was in utter disbelief. For him, it seemed like only a few hours had passed, but it turned out he had been uncurious for nine years!
Although he was still fine, he still felt surreal that he was still alive despite lying in the middle of Path of Legend for nine years!
