'Huh? What is he talking about?'
Ajax hurriedly looked in front of him after hearing the guild master's words; however, there was nothing in front of him that made Ajax puzzled.
'There is nothing in front of us. Did any of you see something?'
'No. There is nothing in front of us,
Not only Ajax, but each and every young cultivator were unable to see any portal or similar to it in front of them and shook their heads.
"You don't have to worry about it. Even I can't see it," However, the guild master's words made them a little relieved; however, when they carefully paid attention to his words they were surprised a little.
Because they thought they were unable to see it because of their low-level cultivation but even the vagrant cultivators were unable to see the portal.
"Unless Elek wants us to see, no one could see the entrance to his secret realm, Astral heart,"
While the young cultivators were pondering about the guild master's earlier words, he once again continued saying a few more words.
"Also, your cultivation progress is good,"
Finally, the guild master talked about their cultivations once again.
During the last 30 minutes, they circulated their main cultivation technique and since it was their first time using such a high-grade cultivation technique, the benefits were good.
Among all, Neil, Lewis and Jeff benefited a lot because their cultivation was the lowest among all the personal disciples and reached level 6, level 7 and level 6 elite commanders respectively.
Since Edmond's adopted children were synchronized with one another their cultivation increased equally and increased to peak level 10 elite commander and only an inch away from entering the general realm.
Paulin received minute benefits that were not worth mentioning and as for Levi, it's better not to mention his name because he didn't receive any benefit from the main cultivation yet because his cultivation was already very high.
"Thank you, guild master,"
Neil and others whose cultivation increased hurriedly thanked the guild master for his praise.
Soon, Elek went to the front and muttered a few words before saying, "Appear."
As soon as he said that, a huge black coloured portal appeared in the mid-air and swallowed the whole Livid griffin into it.
'Everyone hold tight,'
Just when they were about to be swallowed into the portal, the guild master urged everyone to be careful.
'Aarrgh'
Soon, all the young cultivators shouted after entering the portal because, unlike Elder Ramon's secret realm, the entrance to this secret realm made their hearts worry for nothing.
"Welcome to my secret realm, Astral heart,"
Soon, they entered a vast place that was devoid of trees or spirit beasts except for the plain land.
In that vast area, only a single huge mansion was situated.
As for the sky, it was a starry sky with stars emitting purple light making the entire secret realm look like some purple realm.
"Woah"
"What a pure essence of nature,"
"If we cultivate here with our new cultivation techniques, it would greatly benefit us,"
Even though there were no trees or spirit beasts, all the young cultivators could feel the rich essence of nature in the secret realm and compared to Elder Ramon's secret realm, this realm's essence of nature is only a little bit less pure.
"Haha"
Hearing their words, Elek revealed a slight smile as he guided the livid griffin towards a purple coloured mountain that was situated in the opposite direction of the mansion.
"The mountain in front of us is called Astral mountain. There is a small tunnel into the mountain that would lead you to a spacious area in the centre of the mountain. You will all enter there and circulate your new cultivation techniques while enduring the pain during the process,"
While they were flying towards the purple-coloured mountain, Elek explained what they had to do after reaching Astral mountain.
"So, you are not coming into the mountain, master?"
Lewis asked Elder Elek after hearing his words.
"It is only beneficial for you. So, increase your cultivation as much as possible inside the mountain,"
Elder Elek shook his head as he asked the livid griffin to descend onto the ground.
"Good luck. Remember, it is not some kind of trial. You have to do your best to utilize the resources we are spending on you,"
The guild master and other vagrant cultivators said a few more words to their personal disciples before leaving the huge mansion.
"Let's enter,"
One of the young cultivators was excited and shouted before entering the tunnel.
Soon, everyone followed behind him into the tunnel at the base of the mountain.
'Even Elder Ramon said he wanted even more time to know about the seed. What is that thing actually?'
While walking into the purple mountain, Ajax silently thought in his head.
Before Elder Ramon left, he said that he needed some time to conduct some experiments to know about the seed and Ajax agreed without any hesitation.
However, Ajax really felt that this seed had irritated him too much.
'Huh? My soul...'
The moment Ajax entered the spacious area inside the mountain, Ajax felt like his soul was receiving some kind of energy that was making it stronger.
'Ding,
Detected a new type of energy, Astral energy.
'Ding,
Suggests the host to absorb as much as possible.
As he was thinking about what type of energy could make his soul stronger, he received a couple of system notifications.
After seeing those system notifications, Ajax got clarity on what is making his soul stronger.
'System, can you explain to me about this Astral energy?'
Ajax looked at other young cultivators who were shocked as much as he was and asked the system about it.
'Ding,
Astral energy is one of the rare energies that could help a cultivator to become stronger. The main use of this astral energy is to make the cultivator's soul stronger.
'Ding,
Soul strong means great resistance to soul type attacks and most importantly, it unlocked the potential of the spirit consciousness' capacity. So, absorb as much astral energy as possible.
The system seemed a little anxious when explaining Astral energy because it didn't ask for any essence of nature and just wanted Ajax to absorb as much Astral energy as possible.
'Looks like the astral energy is very important,'
Ajax thought inside his head after seeing the system's speedy notifications.
'By the way, system. Is it better to mix the essence of nature and astral energy into my spirit consciousness?'
Currently, his spirit consciousness is filled with 50 percent of the essence of nature. And when two types of powerful energies are mixed, it could harm the cultivator.
So, Ajax asked for the system's suggestion.
Instead of answering his question, the system sent a different notification.
'Ding,
Unlocked a new system feature. Please check it.
'What?'
Ajax was shocked as he didn't know what was happening and why the system was so generous today.
The system was already answering his questions without taking any units of the essence of nature. What's more, it even unlocked a new system feature for him.
'System show the full details,'
Without wasting any time, he directly opened his new system feature.
'Ding,
