'I will wait until the Sacred Energy quota in the Sacred Astral Space is filled.'
With that thought in his mind, Ajax waited with his eyes closed.
Also, he didn't forget to circulate his level 3 Heaven and earth refining technique to absorb Astral Energy around him.
Even though he could get abundant Astral Energy once he entered the Origin paradise, he didn't want to waste any time because as soon as he completely filled his Sacred Astral Space, he would start his 'World-destruction mission'.
'Ding,
The system detected a Pure Cursed Energy in the host's surroundings. Please make contact with it, to instantly absorb everything.
'Ding,
Absorbing through contact will not waste a single unit of energy.
'Huh?'
While Ajax was thinking about his future plans while circulating his cultivation technique for Cursed Energy and waiting for Sacred Energy to be filled in the Sacred Astral Space, he received two system notifications making him raise his eyebrows.
'System, can't you just absorb the Cursed Energy into my body?'
Ajax was still new to the transfer of Sacred Energy from the 'Tree of blessing' to his spirit consciousness. So, he didn't want to stand up until the transfer was completed.
So, he asked the system to just absorb Cursed Energy from the nearby source.
Even though he knew there would be some loss, Ajax was willing to take it because, right now, he didn't bother about Astral Energy after knowing about Origin paradise.
'Ding,
Currently, the source is more than 20 meters away from the host. At least 60 percent of Cursed Energy will be lost in the middle.
'Ding,
Do you still want the system to absorb it?
This time the system explained Ajax in a more detailed way making Ajax a little surprised.
'What? 60 percent? That is too much to lose.'
Even though he thought he should not worry about Astral Energy, that didn't mean he could waste it carelessly. So, he thought for a moment.
'System, how much time is left for the 100 units of Sacred Energy to transfer?'
After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked the system about it.
'Ding,
10 more minutes.
'Okay then. I will wait.'
Ajax was not in a hurry and he was not worried about missing the source of Cursed Energy because he got a rough guess about what the system was talking about.
…..
Time continued to pass and in a flash, 10 minutes as Ajax finally got the system notification he was waiting for.
'Ding,
100 units of Sacred Energy are successfully transferred to the host's Sacred Astral Space.
'Finally, it's done.'
Ajax heaved a sigh of relief with the system notification and asked the system, 'System, show me the details of Sacred Astral Space.'
He felt he had to check it to see how much Cursed Energy he had accumulated through the Heaven and earth refining technique.
'Ding,
Secondary space:- Sacred Astral Space.
Storage:- 0 units / 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy.
Sub storage:- 1) 100 units / 100 units of Sacred Energy.
2) 0.06 units / 100 units of Astral Energy.
Note:- 0.06 units of Astral Energy = 6 units of Cursed Energy.
Soon, the brief information about the Sacred Astral Space appeared in front of him.
'What? I got 6 units of Cursed Energy in less than 15 minutes?'
Ajax was not surprised about Sacred Energy, he was surprised at Cursed Energy.
'Ding,
The shadow clone of the host sent three units of Cursed Energy.
'Oh, right! I totally forgot about him.'
After hearing the latest system notification, Ajax understood where he got that many units of Cursed Energy.
'Let's absorb the dense Astral Energy from the nearby source.'
Finally, Ajax opened his eyes as he stood up from the ground.
"Ajax, you awoke from the enlightenment state already?"
The moment he stood up, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator rushed towards Ajax with a surprised look on their face before asking him.
'Huh? They thought I was in an enlightened state until now?'
Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face before nodding his head.
Since the Sacred Astral Healer is an ancient profession, Ajax decided to keep it a secret following Captain Edmond's advice.
Moreover, if there was any need for a Healer for anyone around him, he thought to use his profession by saying that he was a respective healer like either Astral Healer or Sacred Healer.
"Tell us what did you gain?"
Seeing Ajax nod his head, Nameless cultivator asked about Ajax's gains from his recent awakening.
'...'
Ajax was speechless at Nameless cultivator's curiosity as he asked about what did Ajax awaken from his earlier enlightenment.
"Brother Nameless, it is not good to carelessly ask others about their enlightenment carelessly."
Master Elek noticed that Ajax was speechless at Nameless cultivator's question and soon, he changed his facial expression from curiosity to nonchalant before replying to Nameless cultivator.
"What?"
Nameless cultivator was shocked by the sudden change in Master Elek's attitude and could not help but become angry.
Even though he didn't interact much with regular cultivators or people for more than 20 years, he knew that Master Elek was being two-faced now.
"Brother Elek, didn't you ask me to ask about Ajax's gains from the earlier enlightenment? What are you saying now? Should I ask him or should I not ask him? Give me one clarification."
Why would Nameless cultivator back down? He put an innocent look on his half-corroded face before asking Master Elek.
'What?'
This time, it was Master Elek's turn to get a shock as he looked for a Nameless cultivator to say something; however, he didn't know what to say. So, he didn't say anything before bitterly shaking his head.
"You two seniors don't need to fight, I will say."
Ajax didn't feel those two are seniors at all; instead, they were little kids who were arguing for an ice cola.
"Really?"
Both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator became excited as they looked at Ajax with sparkling eyes.
