Cursed Immortality

"Cursed Immortality!"

The next moment, cursed immortality appeared, hovering in the air like usual.

Jacob's eyes squinted. 'So, it's really been over a day. I should be more careful in the future. If I fell into that state again and someone tried to sneak up on me, I would be completely at other's mercy.'

The next moment, anticipation shone in Jacob's eyes, and he moved to the main page. He wanted to see for himself if he really crossed the 100% despite having the answer.

Jacob's eyes contracted when he saw the newly emerged lifespan section on the page, which could only mean one thing. He completed the second level of cursed heart emergence and gained a hundred years.

But the other 83 years surprised him, 'I might be my actual lifespan.'

It was the only explanation that came to Jacob's mind at the moment. He was ecstatic nevertheless and felt like all that killing and trouble was worth it.

He then turned the page to see the details about the last level.

[Description (2): After collecting all 36 Element Core, create the following Ritual Array Formation.]

[Description (3): Sat in the middle of this Ritual Array Formation.]

--

-Completion of this stage will cause 'Agelessness of Heart'

______

Jacob's eyes went wide when he saw the last level details, especially about the collection of 34 different element cores, which by no means was going to be easy.

He experienced just how tricky someone with a 1-Star Earth Element Core was, and he needed to collect up to 9-stars, which simply meant even scarier opponents.

As for the second description, there was a diagram given below, which was quite detailed, and he just needed to arrange those 34-element cores according to this diagram, and the last was even simpler.

Nevertheless, Jacob still felt it would be even harder than collecting the heart's essence.

As for the strange reward, he could only guess what an Agelessness of Heart could mean.

For more answers, he finally turned the last page and asked the book itself, "First, tell me what happened to those bodies and titan tears."

Jacob still hasn't forgotten about the mysterious absorption of those bodies and titian tears, so he could only ask someone who might know.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

"Hehehehe… that's all your doing, and it's not related to the scripture, so I can't answer anything about it. And here I thought you would be happy after gaining a hundred years in your life cycle, but you're grumpy as ever."

Jacob frown not because of the antics of Immortika but because of its ambiguous reply. Even though it said it couldn't tell him, it still mentioned that it was his doing, which meant no mysterious power or Immortika interfered.

It gave Jacob some insight into the matter, and he decided to scrutinize it.

Right now, he had a more pressing matter at hand.

However, before he could ask related to the third level, Immortika revealed something startling.

"Before you start and then I forgot, let's be done with this matter first, shall we? I have two announcements that could be only done by me.

"First, my summoning time has been increased from half an hour to a full hour.

"Second, the infinity pendant's one cubic meter space has been increased to 10 cubic meters!"

Jacob was astonished when he read it, and without stopping, he tried to look into the infinity pendant, and just as Immortika said, the small space had really been increased!

"Nice, right? I told you as long as you keep completing the levels, you'll never be disappointed. Now worship me! Hahahaha."

Jacob's excitement was only fleeting, as he could quickly calm down for some reason.

He then sneered coldly when he read the last phase. "Don't flatter yourself. So now give me a detailed explanation on this third level, especially these star-level element cores and what kind of beings I'm going up against."

"Tsk, tsk, still grouchy as before. Alright, I'll tell you, it's not like I had any other choice.

"First, you need to know what an element is and how it is formed. It's not so complicated, actually. Anything abstract could be called an element, and this is all you need to know for now.

"There are four primary elements: Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and most of the rare level species could awake one of these four elements.

"Then there are Rare Elements, like Wood, Ice, Lava, Sand, and so on.

"There are also scarce elements like lightning, light, dark and legendary space, time elements, and so on.

"An Element Affinity could be awakened by any being on the Rare level, and some species at the peak common level have such potential as well, but they're extremely rare.

"When these beings awakened their element affinity, they could faintly sense their respective elements in the atmosphere they had an affinity with, and the rarer the element, the harder it was to sense it.

"And when a being could sense their respective element, this level is the very first step toward the realm of magic!

"Any element has three primary stages, 'Sensing, Using, and Storing', and whoever masters these primary stages can be called an initial level element user. An initial level element user can only use a tiny amount of their respective element within the atmosphere and store a tiny amount inside their body pours.

"However, to use that element power, they need quite a time to prepare, so they are basically cannon folds, but they're still geniuses and godly being in the eye of those who couldn't even awake an element, much less master three primary stages.

"That dark elf was such a being, but her bloodline was too thin to even called her a true dark elf or you won't even have the chance to land that bullet on a true dark elf with dark element affinity!"

Jacob felt his heart turn cold when he read to this point because it was simply unbelievable that even a Mack-10 speed bullet couldn't hit a real dark elf, according to Immortika.

"Anyhow, after the primary stages are the Star Stage, which has nine-star levels, and each level is divided into Initial, Intermediate, and Advance levels.

"To be called a Star level expert, one needs to nurture their ability to store the pure element power into their body, and once they reached a certain level of mastery, an element core formed within the body!

"This element core will then help one to connect with the surrounding element more easily and store a large amount of pure elemental energy, which then could be used with instant spells like [Earth Spikes] through different element mediums like that beanpole wand.

"You have to research Spells and Element Mediums yourself. If I start to explain it, the hour is not enough.

"On to the main topic, as you have already experienced the power of a mere 1-Star Initial-level, you should know that a 1-star advance level in the same element could've easily sensed that goblin's position at that range and crushed him right there and then.

"As for 9-Star level beings, you can imagine by this that they could sense that goblin underground from a mile away and bury him within. The spell [Earth Spikes] would also have an area of one mile, and you might not be able to react before you're dead!

"To make a star rank simpler, you could put it in this way: the higher the reserve of elemental energy one has, the higher their star levels. It all depends on Elemental Energy, or the being here called elemental energy, Mana.

"In 9 Rare-Tiers, you could only find up to Advance 3-Star level race. There's never been a rare race that had an Element Core above 3-Star. It's virtually impossible!"

Jacob's eyes were filled with astonishment, and a hint of fear as this otherworldly information was revealed to him.

He took a deep breath and grimly asked, "You mean to say I need to hunt species above rare rank, right?"

"Hahahah… isn't it obvious, or how would you find the reaming cores while being this ignorant? You needed one core of each Primary Element's Star Ranks. It didn't matter if it was initial or advance but you require all nine stars' elemental cores.

"The rank above Rare Rank is…!"
