Chapter 1590 Interesting Legend
"I don't know exactly when, but around one thousand years ago, the existence of the Falmes that gained sentience appeared in the universe.
These fires are renowned for their exceptional strength, unique properties, and the level of devastation they can unleash. Each fire on the list is assigned a ranking based on its potency, mastery, and the legends surrounding it.
According to one of the records found in the Dark Region, it was said that there were exactly 100 sentient flames in the universe along with their names and properties.
Soon, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror started explaining to Ajax about the sentient flames.
"100 sentient flames with the ranking?"
Ajax became interested in the topic as he vaguely remembered that his Grandpa Boron mentioned them in the past.
"Also, there was an interesting legend around these sentient flames that makes the peak emperor realm cultivators go crazy about it."
Mostror could tell that Ajax was interested in the sentient flames and decided to tell more about them
It was because Ajax had already become an Emperor realm cultivator and it was his duty as a master to let his disciple know about the things that his disciple doesn't know.
"Interesting Legend? What is it, master?"
Ajax was already interested in the sentient flames and when he heard 'Interesting legend', Ajax curiously asked Mostror.
"Once an Emperor realm cultivator fully awakens a Divine Rule, then he could trigger the tribulation from the Heavenly Human Realm. Once that cultivator passes the tribulation, he could ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm."
Mostror already learned that Ajax knows about Divine Rules. So, he asked Ajax what would happen after fully awakening the Divine Rule.
"I already know that master. Where is the Interesting Legend surrounding the Sentient Flames in that?"
Ajax frowned as he asked his master.
"Wait…wait…I will talk about it in a while."
However, Mostror doesn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about the Interesting Legend surrounding the Sentient Flames as he continued, "In the last one thousand years, only 10 cultivators triggered the tribulation from the Heavenly Human Realm, 8 re-cultivated beasts and 20 demon cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm and Heavenly Demon Realm respectively."
'Huh? Only 38 cultivators triggered the tribulation in the last 1000 years from the entire universe?'
Ajax was a little shocked by such a low probability of triggering the tribulation from the three different realms.
Even though Ajax guessed it is difficult to upgrade a cultivator's soul into a Divine Rule, he didn't expect that only 10 cultivators to fully awaken the divine rules from the human race to trigger the tribulation from the Heavenly Human Realm.
'Compared to humans, demons can fully awaken the Divine Rules. Who said that demons have the worst comprehension? From the numbers, it completely proves that statement wrong.'
Ajax even compared the humans and demons for a moment before focusing on Mostror's words.
"Can you guess how many of these 38 peak emperor realm cultivators had successfully passed the tribulation and ascended to the Heavenly realms?"
After giving some basic information, Mostror asked Ajax to guess the number of successfully ascended cultivators.
'I heard the tribulation is hard and it might be less than 50 percent…no…it will be less than 60 percent.'
Ajax thought about it for a moment before guessing, "10 cultivators?"
"No…only one cultivator passed that tribulation and successfully ascended."
Mostror didn't keep Ajax in suspense for long in answering.
"What? Only one cultivator? Who is it, master?"
Ajax was expecting what he said was already very low; however, he didn't expect to hear that only one cultivator passed the trial.
At the same time, he was also curious about the cultivator who was able to go against the Heavens and successfully ascend to a higher realm.
"It was a re-cultivated beast…I think he called himself, the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor."
Mostror was satisfied to see the shocked look on Ajax's face as he said about the cultivator who passed the tribulation.
"What? Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor?"
Ajax felt it was a familiar name and soon, he recognised where he heard that name.
Back when he first entered the Five Elemental World, the tribe leader said about their Ancestor, the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor who left the world after becoming an Emperor Realm Cultivator.
"Do you know about that re-cultivated beast?"
Mostror asked with a curious look on his face.
Even though he was an ascended beast, there was not much information about that so-called Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor.
The only thing that Mostror knew about the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor was that he belonged to one of the top forces in the Dragon Region.
When he saw Ajax act like it was a familiar name, Mostror became curious and asked Ajax about it.
"One of my contracted beasts is the descendant of that person and all his descendants became my followers."
Ajax replied with a bitter smile as he thought of Snow who was waiting for him to revive her.
"Interesting."
Mostror nodded his head and said, "Look after those descendants and protect them to the best of your efforts. There might be a chance that one of those descendants might achieve what their ancestor did."
"Moreover, if you encounter the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor in the future after you ascend, he might help you by looking after his descendants."
"Anyway, let's come to the main point."
Soon, Mostror shook the unnecessary thoughts from his mind and continued, "The reason why I gave you the statistics about the cultivators who triggered the tribulation and who passed the tribulation was to let you know how hard it is to pass the tribulation."
"Upgrading your cultivator's soul into a Divine Rule and fully awakening that Divine Rule were two difficult challenges before triggering the tribulation."
Mostror became serious as he explained, "As for passing the tribulation was the most difficult challenger for the peak emperor realm cultivators in their entire life."
"I understood what you were saying, master."
Ajax already understood what his master was trying to say and he already knew how difficult it was to fully awaken the Divine Rule.
Even though he didn't upgrade his cultivator's souls into Divine Rules, he had directly awakened two Divine Rules. One was from the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique and the other one was from the mission with the system's help.
But still, it only awakened 1 percent and 0.01 percent for the Divine Thunder Rule and the Divine Demonic Rule respectively.
And to increase the percentage of awakening, Ajax needed to use the World Cores.
From this alone, Ajax could understand how hard it was and it would only become more difficult.
"Good. You are the youngest Emperor Realm cultivator I have seen and hence you have a high chance of passing the tribulations with enough preparations."
When he saw Ajax's eyes, Mostror nodded his head with satisfaction.
"Now, it's time for the Interesting Legend about the Sentient Flames and I am only telling this to you because I feel you are the only person who might be able to prove whether that legend was true or false."
After keeping Ajax in suspense for a while, Mostror finally said, "As long as someone tempers their body with these 100-ranked flames along with a Divine Dragon's Blessing, they could directly ascend to the Heavenly Realms without any tribulation."
