After Autarch's awakening, another four years passed for Jacob in solitude.
At this moment, the skeleton of Orange Sturgeon was in front of Jacob, and above his hand, a glob of crimson blood was swirling. With a thought, he controlled the glob of blood, and the next moment, fine hair-like crimson threads shot out from the glob as they started to wrap and wove around the arm bone of the Sturgeon.
Jacob's eyes were fully focused on the woven blood threads around the bone. As tpassed, those blood threads started to dig into the arm bone and take the shape of a rune.
When the crimson rune was completely etched on the bone, the white arm bone suddenly turned crimson and glowed while emitting a powerful aura. But the next moment, 'boom' the bone suddenly blasted into pieces.
But Jacob's eyes fluttered in ecstasy, 'Success! I finally managed to carve a rune from Longevity Schema on the bone without blasting it in amides! With this, I've fully mastered the first blood glyph and the basics of blood manipulation!'
Jacob was filled with bittersweet emotion as he looked at the mountain of shattering bones in the corner. Ever since he started experimenting with the blood manipulation levels on the others, he didn't know just how many skeletons he had wasted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had long run out of the skeletons of the foxes and wolves of unique rank, and if not for Autarch, he would have had to hunt for more himself while leaving this place from tto time.
With this study supply of test subjects and his diligence, he finally reached the structural level of blood manipulation where he could shape and sculpt blood on bones!
However, Jacob didn't dare to test it on himself yet until he was completely confidence. He had already solved the problem at the energetic level, where he needed to manipulate the blood's life force and magical properties.
The answer to this problem was quite simple, and it tookaround five hundred corpses to figure it out. The life force in the blood seemed to be tangled with the magic force, and he found that the life force seemed to have a Unique Signature of its master, which stopped others from plundering it.
Not only that, but the blood of different species has their lineage secrets hidden within, and the magic force is like a lock on those secrets. So, if someone tries to probe the life force or magic force, both properties suddenly react at the stand self-destruct, especially if the owner is dead.
Jacob was a newbie to blood manipulation, and he didn't even know how to plunder life force or peer into the secrets of the bloodline yet, so when he tackled this problem by controlling his blood manipulation to stop it from triggering the magic and life force in it, he succeeded.
However, this required a very keen control over the blood manipulation and over his cursed heart, so he had to comprehend the blood glyph even more diligently. The third structural level beceven easier since it was related to using the blood and magic force in blood to manipulate the blood.
If he avoids probing them, he can bypass triggering both the life force and the magic force. He then finally started to experiment with carving runes by creating blood threads through blood manipulation.
It took him almost 12 years to just comprehend the first blood glyph and understand the blood manipulation at a basic level.
"Cursed Immortality!" Jacob summoned Immortika at this moment.
"What do you think? Is my current level enough for Sculpting Longevity Schema on myself?" Jacob asked since he wanted Immortika's input on it. After all, if Immoritka gives him assurance, he'll be without any worry and start the final stage.
"Hehehe, you have made quite a progress by comprehending only the First Glyph of Cursed Blood Progenitor, and all I can tell you is that, sadly, it's not enough!"
Jacob frowned slightly, but he had expected this response since even he felt this level of control was not enough. After all, he still didn't know how to truly tackle the life force and magic force within the blood. He had just found a shortcut, and that's why he didn't dare take a risk.
"Now that I've mastered one of the blood glyphs, can you at least tellhow many more I need to comprehend before I can start with the final stage?" Jacob asked, hoping to be informed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hehehe, just as you said, you have comprehended one of the glyphs of the immortal chapter, so you'll know on your own when it is enough. Or what's the point of telling you to compresence the truth of the blood? Everyone has their own truth and their own ways to reach it…" Immortika wrote profoundly.
Jacob could only give up, and he knew Immortika had a point since he was really starting to feel the power of blood and how amazing it was. So, he didn't waste any more tturning the page and opening the immortal chapter.
Jacob stared at the blood drop and was about to use the Eyes of Judge to enter when suddenly he found himself already in the immortal chapter!
Jacob was astounded before his mind raced with ecstasy, 'I'm no longer using any soul force or the Eyes of Judge, and I can feel a closer connection with this place now. Could it be because I have fully comprehended the first blood glyph that now I can enter the immortal chapter without the help of the Eyes of Judge?
'If this is true, then I'll make huge progress if I stay here for 24 hours. After all, even with my enhanced soul force and comprehension of the blood glyph, I was only able to stay here for about 30 minutes before!'
In these past years, Jacob has always been monitoring the legendary key. He knew that he didn't have the luxury of tsince the legendary path could open anytime, so he was somewhat anxious about increasing his power.
But now, Jacob found himself no longer worrying about time. He could comprehend the blood glyphs much faster this way. So, without wasting more time, he quickly selected his target, which was the new blood glyph, which was only slightly larger than the smallest blood glyph that he comprehended.
Without hesitation, he moved towards it. As he got closer, after a decade, he again felt the oppressive might of this glyph, just like when he approached the first glyph for the first time.
But now that he was already used to it, and if it weren't one of those big glyphs, it couldn't stop his advance.
Thereby, Jacob finally reached the glyph and touched it as his mind again pulled into its vast mysteries!
