Chapter 982: Sacred Astral Core

# Bonus chapter.

Master Elek and Nameless cultivator didn't know what was happening to Ajax; however, they were sure that it was a good thing for Ajax.

As for the reason why they thought like that, it was because of Halos. Halos would only appear when something beneficial was happening with the cultivator.

Be it in cultivation, learning a new skill, awakening a cultivator's law or enlightenment into some profession.

In each case, it would change the fate of a cultivator for the better.

So, they hurriedly moved back for a few steps fearing that they might disturb Ajax.

'Brother Elek, what do you think he will be getting? Is it a skill or increment in cultivation?'After moving back the sufficient distance, Nameless cultivator asked Master Elek about Ajax.

Nameless cultivator was very sure that only of those two might be happening to Ajax because enlightenment into some profession in their current location is impossible.

As for awakening a cultivator's law, it was even more impossible for Ajax with his current cultivation.

"I think, both."

Master Elek looked at Ajax for a few moments before replying to Nameless cultivator with a slight smile on his face.

"How can you say that?"

Nameless cultivator was surprised at how confident Master Elek was in his reply. So, he asked the reason.

'How many Halos do you see around Ajax?'

'Two'

'So, it will be two things Ajax would be getting after he wakes up. The golden coloured energy must be related to his cultivation and as for the white coloured, it might be some skill regarding Astral Energy.

'Woah. As expected of brother Elek. He is as clever as he used to be 20 years ago.'

The conversation between Master Elek and Nameless cultivator sounded like a conversation between two young men.

Master Elek knew that Ajax absorbed a lot of Astral Energy from his Astral Mountain. So, he was not shocked with Ajax awakening a skill related to Astral Energy.

Instead, he was looking forward to Ajax opening his eyes. So that, he could ask what kind of Astral skill he would be awakening.

Soon, they continued to discuss more and more about Ajax.

Nameless cultivator even stopped circulating the mysterious spirit technique given by Ajax's so-called imaginary master while waiting for Ajax.

....

'Huh? Why am I not feeling any pain.'

While Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were waiting for Ajax to open his eyes, Ajax was tired of waiting for the pain that was supposed to appear long back.

Even after waiting for more than 10 minutes, there was no trace of the pain.

'Ding,

100 units of Sacred Astral Energy are consumed to awaken and condense the Sacred Astral Core.

All of a sudden, Ajax got a system notification that made his heartache; however, he was not surprised because he knew that becoming a Sacred Astral Healer was not as easy as the system sounded.

'System, explain to me about the Sacred Astral Core.'

Controlling his bleeding heart, Ajax asked the system about the Sacred Astral Core.

'Ding,

Sacred Astral Core, is something similar to a heart for the Sacred Astral Healer. If someone destroys the Sacred Astral Core, then the cultivator can't become a Sacred Astral Healer in his entire life no matter what.

'Ding,

Also, a Sacred Astral Core will help the cultivators in differentiating between the various grades for a Sacred Astral Core. Just like any other profession, Sacred Astral Healer is also classified into various grades starting from grade 1.

To his question, the system instantly replied with the brief information on Sacred Astral Healer.

'Oh. Looks like this is a very ancient profession.'

After learning more information about the Sacred Astral Healer, Ajax could not help but think how ancient this profession was.

There was a myth that, in ancient times, almost all professions have something called Profession heart.

For alchemy, it was called Alchemist's heart, an ancient blacksmith or weaponsmith used to have a blacksmith's heart.

And for every profession, it was either core or heart respective to that profession.

Ajax was able to relate the information he learned today with the stories he heard from Elder Boron as he continued to think about it.

'I wonder how powerful Elder Boron is.'

This was the question that he always had in his head from the time he started cultivating because whatever Elder Boron had said in the form of stories was helping him one way or another.

Previously, Ajax thought Elder Boron was a King realm cultivator; however, after meeting  Master Ren, his perspective of cultivation was completely changed and there were even times, he wondered who was powerful among Master Ren and Elder Boron.

'Anyway, I should stop thinking about it and focus on this Sacred Astral Core.'

Soon, Ajax put an end to his thoughts as he looked into his Sacred Astral Core.

'Woah. Where did this green coloured energy come from?'

Currently, the entire Sacred Astral Space is completely covered in green-coloured gas that surprised Ajax.

Astral energy was white in colour and Sacred Energy was Turquoise.

Moreover, when they were merged into Sacred Astral Energy, there was another energy that was golden in colour; however. Ajax didn't have any colour regarding that energy.

So, he was surprised when he saw green coloured energy in the Sacred Astral Space.

'Swoosh'

At the same time, he noticed that the green coloured energy which was in a gaseous state moved towards the center like a windstorm before stabilizing at the center.

'Is that the Sacred Astral Core?'

Ajax focused on the center of the Sacred Astral Space and saw a small grain which was green in colour and muttered to himself.

'Ding,

Yes. It is the empty shell of the Sacred Astral Core and it will take some time before it becomes the true Sacred Astral Core. So, please wait for some time.

Even though he didn't ask the system, it was being nice nowadays. So, it replied to him instantly.
