Moreover, James had fully mastered the Primal Mantra and the knowledge of the Greater Paths. Even though he had not sensed the trigger for him to advance into the Caelum Acme Rank, James was equipped with the abilities and skills to move on to the next Acme Rank if he willed it.
As James focused his concentration, his body began to glow with a myriad of colors. Those colorful lights transformed into unique, cryptic inscriptions almost instantaneously.
A strangely ethereal sight could be seen as James channeled his powers through the manifestation of paths around him. As the paths evolved and displayed the highest form of power, James instantly detected that he had entered the Caelum Acme Rank.
In the blink of an eye, Jamesʼ aura and the amount of powers he had increased by folds.
At that very moment, everyone could feel a strong tremor throughout the entire airship. Suddenly, the ship came to a halt as a powerful energy fell upon the airship and trapped it in mid-air.
Simultaneously, countless strange inscriptions appeared in the Endlos Void around the airship. Waleria detected the shift of pressure in the air and exited her room right away. When she had arrived on the deck of the ship, Waleria could see the innumerable inscriptions floating in the air above the ship. The inscriptions were swiftly clumping together to form mounds of tribulation clouds.
“It’s the Heavenly Tribulation… James must’ve achieved the Caelum Acme Rank,” Waleria muttered in a low voice.
The others had come out to the deck as well. Wynona asked curiously, “That’s strange. I didnʼt have to face the Heavenly Tribulation back when I entered the Caelum Acme Rank. Why is this happening to Master though?”
Saachi explained, “This is closely related to one’s training and cultivation process. The more karma you’ve accumulated during your cultivation, the more providence and boon you’ll receive in return too. The possibility of the cultivator encountering the Heavenly Tribulation increases exponentially too.”
“Mhm.” Waleria nodded.
“Normally, people won’t have to worry about facing tribulations after they enter the Acme Ranks and become competent cultivators. However, as Saachi said, one might encounter the Heavenly Tribulation if they’ve racked up a considerable amount of karma after entering the Acme Rank. Also, the later the Heavenly Tribulation appears as one advances through the Acme Ranks, the more potent and deadly the powers of the Heavenly Tribulation will become. Furthermore, if you didnʼt encounter it during the Caelum Acme Rank, you’d still have to go through the Heavenly Tribulation during the Quasi Chaos Rank.”
