Chapter 1809 Violent Reaction
'What's happening?'
Looking at the 49 old cultivators who were violently coughing blood, Ajax became anxious as he shouted, "Stop cultivating." nove)lb)1n
At the same time, Ajax took out some healing pills that were effective even on the Emperor Realm Cultivators and gave them to the old cultivators.
The old cultivators didn't want to stop cultivating because of the benefits that Ajax informed them by absorbing the Giant Fire Crystals; however, the violent pain and coughing of blood made them stop what they were doing.
Soon, they swallowed the pills that Ajax gave them and started stabilizing their wounds while checking what went wrong in their bodies.
'System, why is there such a violent reaction? Don't tell me it was related to their bodies?'
On the other hand, Ajax asked the system about the reason behind the Old Cultivators' reaction while guessing his assumptions.
The reason why Ajax felt it was related to their bodies was because their bodies were very weak due to the lack of cultivation resources along with the essence of nature in the Secret World.
However, Ajax was not fully convinced by his assumption because the old cultivators had awakened the Divine Rules which means their bodies had become strong and that's the reason why Ajax gave them the Giant Fire Crystals.
'Ding,
For a cultivator, increasing the awakening percentage of a Divine Rule would naturally increase the strength and upgrade their physical bodies. So, during the process, it was inevitable for the cultivators to experience the pain.
'Ding,
The stronger their bodies, the stronger their endurance levels will be and the faster they can increase their awakening percentage.
'Ding,
Even though the Old Cultivators have awakened the Divine Rule, their bodies were still not strong enough to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. 'Ding,
In fact, their bodies were so weak that even the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators who were yet to awaken the Divine Rule could defeat them with ease.
Ajax knew the value of becoming Enlightened and how difficult it would be.
Even though he gained enlightenment and even Siora recently got one, it happened because of the external resources.
Previously, Ajax used the Profession Upgrade Crystal to gain enlightenment into the Emperor Grade Alchemy whereas, in Siora's case, he ate the Special World Fruit which helped her get enlightenment.
'Anyway, let's come to the main issue now.'
Once Ajax's doubts regarding the pain from using the Giant Crystals were cleared, he stopped thinking about it and decided to focus on the current issue.
'Since their bodies were still too weak to use the Giant Crystals, I think I should complete my plan for them before giving them the Giant Fire Crystals.'
Ajax didn't think much as he directly came to this conclusion as he continued, 'Once I complete that plan, the remaining 51 old cultivators could also awaken their Divine Rules and everyone can use the Giant Fire Crystals then.'
With that thought in mind, Ajax took all the Giant Fire Crystals back from the Old Cultivators.
Even though 49 Giant Fire Crystals were not a big deal for Ajax, he didn't want the old cultivators to secretly use them when he left the Five Elemental World.
As a cultivator, no one could resist the temptation of becoming stronger and he would not hesitate to risk such opportunities.
Since Ajax had a safe plan in which the old cultivators could use the Giant Crystals without any side effects or pain, he didn't want them to do such risky things.
Therefore, he took back the Giant Fire Crystals from them before saying a few things to motivate them.
"Father, it's time to enter the Floating Island...shall we go?"
Once he settled the issue with the old cultivators, Ajax turned his head as he asked his father, who nodded his head excitedly.
"Let's go."
Soon, Ajax went to Siora and sent her and his father along with Raweth and Sparrow into the Inner World before teleporting to the Metal Emperor's World.
