Cursed Immortality

Chapter 1166: Massive Gains (3)

"...don’t forget that same Higher Law God is right now tasting dust right at my feet!"

Jacob’s overbearing words were extremely arrogant, but the artifact spirit couldn’t retort because everything he stated was a hard fact, and the proof of it was really lying motionless in Jacob’s feet.

The artifact spirit took a while to find its voice again as it timidly spoke, "I...I’m not berating you, but you clearly don’t understand what I’m trying to explain."

"I’m listening." Jacob coolly stated.

The artifact spirit spoke with a hint of frustration, "Although I admit you have used unorthodox means to seal away Lord Whiteness’s cultivation and physique, it’s still considered a ’seal’, not ’destruction’ or ’regression’. Just like right now, because of the seal you have placed on Lord Whiteness, the Divine Sigil has also been sealed, putting me in my current state or..."

The artifact spirit halted when it noticed a coldness flickering in Jacob’s eyes and quickly changed its words, "I mean, you can’t wipe out Lord Whiteness’s Divine Sigil, which is the basic requirement to refine a Divine Artifact.

"Even if you can somehow force Lord Whiteness to surrender his ownership over me or remove it on your own, which is virtually impossible, you still won’t possess a Divine Sigil unless you can become a Higher God!"

Jacob remained silent because he lacked extensive knowledge of Divine Artifacts or Divine Sigils, nor were his Eyes of Judge at a level that could detect truth or lies in a Divine Artifact.

But considering this brocade box’s current situation, it won’t try to deceive him, not to mention Jacob already has some understanding about Divine Artifacts.

The Divine Soulless Pagoda had lost most of its power after being sealed by someone, and its artifact spirit, Soulless, seemed corrupted, tried to deceive Jacob, and ultimately helped him become the owner of the Divine Artifact.

Nonetheless, Jacob still dared not release the Divine Soulless Pagoda, knowing he couldn’t control it, given his insufficient power rank and Immortika’s warning.

Lastly, the Temple of the Blazing Flame was even more powerful, as only with the help of a Wish he was able to claim temporary ownership before sealing it into his Infinity Pendant.

That’s why he believed the brocade box, but it doesn’t mean he didn’t have other ways to control this divine artifact, especially after it was revealed that it had been weakened by Whiteness’s sealed state.

Furthermore, Jacob also reckoned from the Artifact Spirit’s words that if Whiteness’s Divine Sigil was removed from the brocade box, he might not be able to restrict this brocade box with just the infinity space anymore.

Moreover, Jacob found a stark difference between Soulless and the intelligence of this brocade-box artifact spirit.

"Since you were willing to talk, I presumed you had something else in mind, right?" Jacob inquired impassively, concealing his true intention.

Just as Jacob expected, the brocade box’s spirit seemed to become slightly lively as it quickly stated, "It seemed you weren’t lying when you said you like dealing with reasonable being and I’m also like you!

"As long as you’re willing to let me go, I’m willing to hand over every treasure below Higher God Rank, and trust me, each one of those treasures can cause a bloodbath between Lesser Gods, and some even coveted by Higher Gods!

"Moreover, among those treasures is also knowledge beyond your comprehension, especially the Celestial Law Charts that can help you easily break into the Mythical Rank! So, how about it? Are you willing to make this deal?"

The Artifact Spirit of the Brocade Box seemed to be filled with confidence as if Jacob would agree to his offer without hesitation, and it wasn’t wrong either, because if it were another Quasi-Myth, they wouldn’t hesitate to promptly agree!

But Jacob wasn’t some Quasi-Myth; he was the heir of Cursed Immortality, and no amount of treasures was enough for Jacob, nor was he willing to let this priceless Divine Artifact go.

Even if Jacob could be blinded by those treasures, he was foolish enough to release the tiger back to the mountains.

After all, Whiteness background was absolutely incredible, and if this brocade box returned and told what happened to Whiteness, the enemy would know many of his secrets.

Lastly, this guy has just confirmed Jacob’s conjecture about it being a spatial treasure of Divine Rank, and it also has many treasures, even Higher God Rank ones, which essentially make it impossible for Jacob to let it go.

At that moment, Jacob replied impassively, "I’m afraid, this deal is not possible between us!"

The brocade box’s moving patterning seemed to halt for a moment in response to Jacob’s unexpected reply.

The artifact spirit’s disbelieving voice rang, "What!? Why!? Mortal, don’t be greedy!"

Jacob remained impassive as he said matter-of-factly, "I might be greedy, but I have the privilege to be greedy in our current situation, while you, on the other hand, had nothing.

"I still stand by my previous decision of simply taking everything you have, including ’you’ by force, and it’ll only cost me some time. And deep down, I know you believed in what I just said is completely doable!"

The brocade box trembled as its patterns churned chaotically, but Jacob didn’t wait for its response and continued with a hint of shrewdness...

"How about you hear my offer now? Since you believed that I can dominate you in the future, and put you in a world of misery, why not simply follow me now amiably?

"After all, this way not only I won’t do anything to you, but you will also gain a master with higher potential than your ’Lord Whiteness’. Moreover, I treat every one of my followers fairly, so all you needed to do is to place your loyalty in the right place."

Jacob’s words were like the devil’s whispers as he noticed the brocade box’s pattern again stopped, and he mercilessly stated, "Besides, you were just willing to abandon him anyway, so why are you hesitating now!"
