Chapter 864: The Missing Elia!
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 time he came 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 time.
But for some reason, she always seemed 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 come to become cold and somewhat indifferent as she grew, and only in front of Jacob would she show some 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 moment 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.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, now that Jacob was a Quasi-Myth, his perception was terrifying. After his soul had turned into a soul star, he also seemed 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 extremely 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 immersed in the Immortal Chapter and completing the second phase to learn everything he could about the new phase.
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 time had passed, which made him even more agitated. It was as if just when everything seemed to be going according to plan, something always seemed 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 moment, 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 something 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 me, 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 became because he could now hear faint wailing that seemed to affect the soul. Looking ahead, he could see the silhouette of jagged mountains. He had reached the vicinity of Wailing Peaks!
