Cursed Immortality

Months have passed since Jacob began his voyage to the Unique Plains. The advanced, unique ship was moving forward without any hitch because of its stealth barrier.

At this moment, Jacob was sitting on the captain's seat in the ship's control room with a pristine blue triangular-shaped compass, which was shimmering in blue light as the black compass needle was pointing straight ahead.

This was the Unique Star Ocean Medallion in use, and they were traveling according to this compass needle and Jacob didn't dare to be neglected since he was afraid they might distract from their pathway.

Three of the ship controllers were moving the ship and keeping an eye out for any anomaly day and night with their listless expressions.

"According to Zoe the voyage to the unique plains from the epic plains should take around eight years if nothing untoward happened," Jacob muttered while looking at the compass before stowing it away.

In these past few months, he was sitting around doing nothing, but he was using the scripture of blank to form his water spirit glyph, and now his hex aura glyph was almost done.

Moreover, Autarch was on the verge of achieving Unique Rank after absorbing all the Titian Tears he had and also new ones he made for it from the materials he gathered. But still missing a little bit.

But Jacob reckoned that the problem didn't lie within the epic titian tears. Autarch might need unique titian tears to break into the Unique Rank after all the fantastic insects were out of the norm, and it wasn't easy to raise them, especially the Brain Hunter!

Another thing worth mentioning was Nyx's progress in gunsmithing and other occupations that Jacob knows. She was already at Jacob's level, and with the nightmare realm, she could endlessly progress and research.

Jacob also benefits from her tremendously as he has already gasped much of the witch palace knowledge about the curse magic. But sadly, he can't research and emulate the eyes of judge since he doesn't have lots of information on it and how it works, nor can he imitate the immortal chapter.

So, now he was planning on comprehending the Night Hunter's Aura and Spirit once his hex core was done. Since he had three magic cores, he was going to reshuffle his magic abilities, especially the curse abilities for using the Imprecate and Whammy Poison.

Furthermore, he also tried to open that mysterious book he found in the rare plains with the cursed path glory gem but failed again. He also discovered that only the hex mana can make the book react, not the others.

But he wasn't far off; he reckoned that he might be able to open it once his hex core evolved into a unique rank.

All in all, he was making huge progress every day, and his unique rank strength and magic were fully assimilated, and he was now a true unique rank expert.

Just like that, time continued to pass, and, on this day, Jacob was immense in his fire aura training in the nightmare realm as he spoke with Nyx, who was also using the same power when she stopped and cried in alarm, "The ship is shaking!"

Jacob quickly stopped, and the fiery blades in his hand vanished. He disappeared from the nightmare realm, opened his eyes in the control room, and frowned.

He quickly vanished from the control room and reappeared on the ship deck with compass in his hand, he saw they were on the right track and then looked outside.

He was startled when he saw the stem of the ship seemed to stuck in the midair and couldn't move forward like it has encountered an invisible wall, the ship was shaking because of it.

Before he could comprehend what was happening, a stern voice rang, "Undo the stealth barrier. You are trying to pass the Star Ocean Boundary! We are from the Zodiac Night Federation. Show us your authorized permit, and we'll let you cross over or surrender for investigation. This is not a place that anyone could enter on a whim!"

At this moment, Sofie and Zoe also appeared and were startled when they saw the invisible barrier and heard that voice.

Jacob frowned deepened as he looked up and surprised when he saw a medium size flying ship with a Black Moon Symbol slowing descending, this was the trademark of the Zodiac Night Federation.

"Mr. Jack, this is the star ocean boundary I told you about that stopped others from crossing over from both sides. We can only pass either with the help of the Zodiac Night Federation or with the medallion. But I never thought these guys would be here so soon." Zoe's expression was grave as she walked over.

Realization dawn upon Jacob at this moment and he finally understood what was happening, he looked at Zoe and asked, "What should we do? We don't have this permit, and if we use the medallion, we'll be exposed. Should I take care of him? Furthermore, I like that ship. It'll be quite easy to travel through the air."

Jacob's eyes were focused on the flying ship as it was his first time seeing this technology. Although he could make flying projectiles like the missile, this ship was completely different, just like his flying disc. It was made with magic technology.

He was already in the process of reverse engineering the disc and had very little progress. Now, seeing this ship, he saw an opportunity to break through. This ship might be unique to the Zodiac Night Federation, so he wants it.

As for the people on the ship, he only senses two Uniques with the Hunter Sense ability of the Night Hunter Scripture, which can allow him to sense others within a 100-meter radius as long as they are on par or weaker than him, and he can easily take care of them.

Zoe was startled by Jacob's words, "I… it shouldn't be a problem as long as our identities won't reveal. But I'm not so sure since they might have other ways to detect us."

It was her first time encountering such a situation as last time, and she easily crossed over with the permit. But now, they had the medallion, and she knew Jacob didn't want to give it up, so she left it to him to decide.

Jacob suddenly smiled coldly, "If that's the case, then it won't be a problem."

He then sent a mental message to Autarch, "Go and bring along your puppets and take care of them. I want their information and that ship."

Autarch's emotionless voice rang, "Affirmative!"
