chapter 2010: nurturing plans

cultivators and the spirit beasts must awaken the divine rules and cultivate their awakening percentage to 100 to trigger the ascension tribulation.
as for the elemental spirits, they are required to awaken their elemental ascendance and increase its awakening percentage to 100 to ascend together with their summoner.
that's right!
just because a cultivator can ascend to the heavenly realm, he could not bring his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts along with him.
if it was elemental spirits, they have to awaken and bring their elemental ascendance to 100 percent. the positive thing was, that these elemental spirits are not required to go through the ascending tribulation.
as long as their master passes the ascending tribulation, they could ascend together with him, given that their elemental ascendance was fully awakened.
as for the contracted spirit beasts, despite forming a contract with others, they have to go through all the ascending processes along with their master.
speaking of elemental ascendance, once awakened, the elemental spirits can possess additional effects and skills similar to the cultivators' divine rules.
hence, floris' [floral symphony] was comparable to ajax's [enhanced nurturing].
time continued to pass and in a flash one hour passed by since floris entered the divine inner world and finished using all her skills.
outside the divine inner world, the second round of the beast invasion has started and it was being taken care of by the first three layers of divine body cultivators.
'by the looks, i think these old divine body cultivators can take care of at least five rounds of beast invasion.'
ajax silently estimated in his head when he noticed how easily the divine body cultivators suppressing the second round of incoming spirit beasts.
'i have already used my nurturing skills and have to wait till tomorrow and it was the same for floris and siora.'noÌv(el)b\\jnn
ajax shifted his focus back to nurturing the rule ascension lotus plants and checked the resources in his storage ring.
however, there was none that could help him in his current situation, making ajax seriously swear, 'once i am out, i should buy all the cultivation resources that can speed up the nurturing of the plants.'
currently, in the entire universe, ajax is the richest cultivator.
next, ajax sat on the celestial pillar along with aron and siora, watching the fight in the distance.
'siora, from now on, you are not allowed to use your divine forest rule to fight; instead....' while watching, ajax shared his intentions and asked for siora's help in nurturing the rule ascension lotus plants.
"as long as i can help you with something, i am more than happy."
siora readily agreed to ajax's request because it was the first genuine request for help from ajax.
under ajax, there were many elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts for fighting. even though siora was powerful, ajax was even more powerful with his unique and wide
range of skills.
thus, even without her, ajax could fight and take care of his enemies.
however, when it comes to nurturing, as a forest elf, she was the best person and ajax only
had one elemental spirit that was good at nurturing.
hence, siora found something that she could help ajax with.
"my plants are in your care from now on."
ajax replied with a smile and then informed his father, "father, you need to hurry up and
increase the awakening percentage to 100."
after sharing things about rule ascension lotuses, ajax also shared the news about his breakthrough to both aron and siora, giving a huge surprise to them.
"we will work harder."
they both knew that ajax was pursuing divine spirit cultivation and the breakthrough requirements were tough compared to increasing the awakening percentage of his divine
rules.
so, after learning about ajax's breakthrough, they knew they had to work harder.
