New Age Of Summoners



<After one hour,

'I think the effect from the plant essence is finally over.'

Looking at the six-meter tree in front of him, Ajax revealed a look of slight disappointment on his face; however, he was already satisfied with the growth in the soul nourishment tree.

With the help of the 100 units of the plant essence, the soul nourishment tree grew from a few centimeters to six meters, which already exceeded Ajax's expectations.

'Ding,

          Tree Name: Soul Nourishment Tree.

          Tree age: One-year-old.

          Note: The tree's first ability will be unlocked at the age of 100. So, please nurture it well.

As soon as the growth effect from the plant essence disappeared, Ajax received a system notification that gave some information about the soul nourishment tree, making him pleasantly surprised.

'It's already one year old?'

For trees, their age and growth are interlinked and their age can be increased by providing enough resources which fasten their growth.

Therefore, the age and growth of rare trees like soul nourishment trees and lesser world trees are said to be directly connected.

'I already knew that the first ability of the soul nourishment tree unlocks at the age of the tree. So, I have to fasten its growth by 99 years.'

Soon, Ajax started doing calculations in his head.

'If 100 units of the plant essence can increase the age of the soul nourishment tree by one, I need 9900 units of plant essence to unlock its first ability.'

Ajax looked at the soul nourishment tree in front of him and clenched his fists, 'I have to do it at any cost…no…I can do it.'

Previously he learned from Zaglanath that in the high-level auction house of the trader's realm, someone auctioned off 1000 units of the plant essence.

Even though the price it sold for was astronomical, Ajax felt he could earn that much without any problem in a few months.

'All I have to do is become a high-level trader and get the information on the auctioning items before it even starts.'

Unlike the low and mid-level traders, the high-level traders were given a completely different privilege in the trader's realm. A few days before the auction day, they would give the list of items that would be auctioned off along with the starting price and the estimated final price.

So, these high-level traders would prepare enough funds for the items they liked before.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for the low and mid-level traders to outbid the high-level traders.

'As long as I sell a few normal world cores through the auction house, I can easily become a high-level trader and once I become a high-level trader I will outbid everyone for the plant essence.'

Ajax muttered to himself with a great determination on his face as he continued, 'I just hope that the seller puts as much plant essence as possible. If he put 1000 units of plant essence like yesterday, it would be quite nice as I only need to buy 10 of them to unlock the first ability of the soul nourishment tree.'

'Also there is my mother-in-law, the lesser world tree in the five elemental world. She said she would give me 10 units of plant essence every month.'

Ajax didn't forget about his mother-in-law and decided to take her help without any hesitation as he swore to help her in the future.

Even though the 10 units of the plant essence per month is very low, Ajax didn't want to waste a single unit not to mention, his mother-in-law promised him 10 units of the plant essence every month.

'It looks like I have to put a hold on entering the special cultivation chamber in the battle tower until my demonic avatar is upgraded.'

One of the main reasons he wanted to upgrade his demonic avatar was to enter the special cultivation chamber of the battle towers and peacefully cultivate for 40 days without getting interrupted by the outside world.

Because time runs differently inside the special cultivation chamber of the battle tower, the 40 days in the real world would be equivalent to 400 days which was more than one year and one month.

According to the information he received from the system, the laws and the essence of nature inside the special cultivator chamber would be pure.

'One month is not that long. I can wait.'

With that thought in his mind, Ajax decided to wait for a month and during this one month, he decided to visit his friends and check out his cultivation and help them if they needed any help.

…..

Time continued to pass and in a flash 29 days had passed since the day Rurbeak had started his work to upgrade Ajax's demonic avatar.

'Time sure flies fast when you are busy with things.'

For the last one month, Ajax made himself fully busy with so many things.

He visited his friends from the Purple stone world who became king realm cultivators because of removing the barrier between the three provinces.

Ajax gave them a few cultivation resources that every newly became king realm cultivator needed to consolidate their cultivation.

He visited his fiancee in the Five elemental world and gave her the world stones he got from the trader's realm.

Provided some special materials to the old grey dwarves in the Normal Dwarf World and as for the Normal Elven World, Ajax nurtured the lesser world tree; however, he didn't use more than a couple of smaller world cores as he wanted to store them to increase his cultivation.

'The most surprising thing is Captain Edmond's son Michael is still alive.'

Ajax was happy for Captain Edmond who helped him a lot at the beginning of his cultivation journey.

The Fire Sword Sect hid him and tried to brainwash Michael into killing Edmond; however, Blood Rose, Michael's aunt was secretly helping Michael and successfully stopped him from hating his father.

Even though she knew that his son is alive, Blood Rose hid it because she feared that Edmond might do something rash that not only gets him killed but might even kill her nephew.

However, when Ajax became the Emperor of the World and abolished all the sects in the world, the Fire Sword Sect lost its power and Blood rose mustered her courage and united Edmond and his son.

"There is one happy ending; however, I was wanting to see Captain Edmond in action."

Maybe it was because of the removal of the barriers between the provinces or finding his son, Edmond's cultivation speed was insane as he not only made a successful breakthrough to the king realm but he also became a mid-level king realm cultivator.

'I think I should have him and others enter the smaller demon worlds for training in their strength along with Westin.'

The most important thing Ajax did for the last one month was to retrieve the smaller world cores.

The haul for the last one month was good as Ajax was able to retrieve 63 smaller world cores of which he gave one to his mother-in-law, two to the lesser world tree he was nurturing in the normal elven world and five, he gave to the Draconic spirit turtle king to refine it into the pure essence.

'Ding, 

        100 units of the world essence x 3

'Ding,

        100 units of the thunder essence x 1

'Ding,

        100 units of the fire essence x 1

He gave the 200 units of the world essence to his beautiful elf fiancee, thunder essence to Snow and fire essence to Raweth which significantly increased their cultivation.

'I am really hoping that one day I can get 100 units of plant essence from the refinement of the smaller world core.'

Ajax was not worried that he wasted five smaller world cores for converting them into the essence because he was hoping to get 100 units of the plant essence to increase the age of the soul-nourishing tree for one year.

'Moreover, he was satisfied with the fact that he didn't waste any essence because someone close to him benefited from that essence.

'Tomorrow is the day of auction again but most importantly, the day where I have to supply the smaller world cores to the cultivators I made a contract with.'

Ajax was looking forward to the auction day because if he was lucky he might find the plant essence in the auction house and at the same time, he would take the remaining payment from the cultivators.

'I wonder which world I should enter first.'

Now, Ajax fell into the dilemma of which world he should enter.

There was an opportunity to enter the Jade Pool which upgraded all the cultivator's laws and king realm souls along with the cultivation to the emperor realm.

Or, he could enter the floating island from one of the five elemental worlds where he might get heaven-defying treasures and take advantage of the different time speeds in it.

'Nevermind, I will first enter the Jade Pool and once my demonic avatar's upgrade gets finished, I can let him handle the things regarding the retrieval of the world cores.'

Even though one day is one year inside the floating island, he had to stay inside that floating island for seven days which he couldn't do since his demonic avatar was not upgraded yet.

Therefore, he decided to enter the Jade pool in the Greater Jade Dragon World.

'Before that, I will use this Nightmare Fruit.'

With a thought, a pitch-black coloured fruit appeared in his hand and checked its information once again before eating it.    >
