CURSED IMMORTALITY

Chapter 922: Purpose of Visit! (2)

Jacob got many things from the Soulless Ghost King, not just his appearance and prowess but also many treasures and, most importantly, his memories.

Although Jacob didn't want to do it initially, he had to admit it was an unexpected windfall. The biggest haul was not Soulless Ghost King treasures but the information about three types of Law Essences!

The first Law Essence was the Law Essence of Death in the Valley of Sunless Dusk, which Jacob already had claimed, so this information was useless. But it surprised Jacob that Soulless Ghost King was aware of this information.

Although he didn't know how much Death Law Essence was present in the Necropolis of Shades, he figured out that the Curse of Sunless Dusk would undoubtedly produce it.

The second law essence was the Law Essence of Light, but to Jacob's disappointment, Soulless Ghost King had already traded it with the Champion King in the past since the element of light was useless to a dark being like the Soulless Ghost King, it was harmful even.

However, Jacob didn't want to give up on this lead, so he decided to travel to the Evanesce Hub to see if he could get it back without having to resort to underhanded means.

Moreover, the Evanesce Hub was a haven of pirates, and all kinds of items, from stolen treasures to information from all over the legendary plains, were sold there, so this place also served his other purposes.

Then there was the information about the Law Essence of Space, but to Jacob's distress, this memory wasn't complete, and he only got a fragment of it, which made him sulk for a while, but he couldn't do anything about it.

However, he hoped to get some clues from the Ghost Domain about the Soulless Ghost King's Ghost Palace. Not only that, but Jacob suspects that Soulless Ghost King might have information on other law essences as well because he seemed to be researching something related to them. But sadly, those parts of his memories were missing.

Nonetheless, he still has to get the light law essence from the Champion King first; with it, he would have two element law essence out of twelve.

As for why the Soulless Ghost King made a deal with the Champion King, who was supposed to be his mortal enemy, this part of the memory was also missing, but Jacob suspects that it has something to do with the Champion King becoming a Star Pirate and his fall from grace.

In fact, Jacob even suspected that the Soulless Ghost King had something to do with this because this guy was a schemer and could do anything to get what he wanted.

From what Jacob could gather together from his memory, the Soulless Ghost King wanted something in the Champion King's possession, so he used the most enticing thing, the Light Law Essence, which was the Law that the Champion King had comprehended!

Furthermore, from the Champion King's reaction, the Soulless Ghost King had clearly ripped him off.

But this had nothing to do with Jacob since he was willing to make this deal peacefully, for going against the Champion King didn't benefit him anyway. In fact, if he really wanted to kill the Champion King, Jacob had to expose his true self, and then he had to eliminate the entire Evanesce Hub.

All he would get out of it was blood vitality, or he could have Nyx spread her nightmare seeds. But he would also eliminate star pirates for all the factions, which would benefit them more than him.

Star Pirates were not robbers and killers, but they deterred many people from traveling freely in the Star Ocean, especially because of the Champion King's presence. Even Legendary Kings didn't dare to venture openly into the Star Ocean, afraid the Champion King might come after them.

The most significant advantage to keeping the star pirates was that they were the nemesis of the Zodiac Night Federation and Ocean Race, so Jacob didn't want them gone. In fact, his thoughts were similar to those of the Soulless Ghost King, as he also secretly supported the Star Pirates to cause trouble for other factions.

That's why, despite knowing the Nightingale King was here, he never revealed this information and hid it even so the Blood Moon King wouldn't figure it out and ruin these pawns.

"I'm not breaking the soul contract. I will trade it again; I don't need all of it. I just need 10,000 drops of Light Law Essence!"

The Champion King was slightly surprised by Soulless Ghost King's words, and suddenly, a cunning yet ruthless smile surfaced on his face; he knew the Soulless Ghost King wouldn't have said those words if he desired something and absolutely had it.

He had fought with Soulless Ghost King when he was the Chairman, and he even suffered many times at his hands. So, he knew the Light Law Essence was something he really wanted, and he could smell the scent of sweet revenge.

He replied with a huge smile, "Only 10,000 drops? Well, you indeed gave me a small pond back then. So, I can indeed trade with 10,000 drops. However, the thing is, I want to see your sincerity. Tell me, what will you offer?"

Jacob had already expected this kind of response from the Champion King since he knew the Champion King wasn't a naïve or magnanimous person; he would not let this chance go by to take revenge.

"From your disgusting grin, I know you want to rip me off, but let me clarify: the Light Law Essence is not so important that I absolutely have it. However, what I'm offering you is something you desire the most. So, I'll only make this offer, and there won't be a second time. You can choose to reject it, and this conversation will be over. So, here is my offer. I'll give you the entry permit for Enigma Elemental Galaxy!"

The Champion King didn't seem flustered by Soulless Ghost King's tactics to scare him, in fact, he became more sure that he really needed the Light Law Essence, and he couldn't think of anything that Soulless Ghost King could offer him at this point to set aside his grudge.

However, when he heard the words 'Enigma Elemental Galaxy,' his expression took a 180-degree turn as his eyes went wide, and a terrifying magic fluctuation rippled from his body as bloodlust suddenly replaced his carefree expression.

He glared at the Soulless Ghost King as if he wanted to tear him apart, "You have some guts even to mention that name in front of me. But since you know the implication behind it, I want you to give me a simple answer under the oath contract. If you can, I'll trade with you without hesitation or any tricks."

Jacob wasn't intimidated by the Champion King's bloodlust; in fact, he pulled an eerie smile, seeing the Champion King's reaction. He was fishing, but he wasn't expecting to hook the fish so quickly.

Now, he was even more sure that the Champion King's conversion to a Star Pirate was something to have to do with the current Chairman, the Giant War King, of the Zodiac Warrior Alliance because the Enigma Elemental Galaxy was once the Champion King's domain, whereas now it was controlled by the Giant War King!
