Dreaming Demon's question hinted something that Noah didn't fail to understand.
The sixth Kesier rune was a rank 6 item even if rank 5 mages used it.
Its rarity was akin to rank 6 techniques and methods, which meant that there couldn't possibly be many copies of it in the Mortal Lands.
However, Chasing Demon was a plete rank 6 cultivator, so Noah was reasonably sure that he had it.
"Ten?" Noah tried to answer, but Flying Demon's snort made him understand that he was quite off from the truth.
Dreaming Demon decided to explain. "Fourth Kesier runes are quite mon in the world because there are many experts able to copy them. Yet there are less than a hundred copies of the fifth Kesier rune around, and maybe five of the sixth one."
Noah couldn't help but be surprised when he heard those words.
Still, he was able to understand the reasoning behind that explanation.
Every organization that wanted to strive for power wanted the fourth Kesier runes to nurture their human assets.
So, they would just invest a lot of resources to purchase copies and build a vast stash of them.
There weren't many experts in the inscriptions' fields able to copy an item in the fourth rank, but even that small number was enough to supply the most powerful organizations.
Of course, that changed as the rank of the item rose.
Only experts in the fifth rank specialized in that field could copy the fifth Kesier rune, and most of them were busy striving for the higher ranks.
After all, why would they use their time to create training methods that only other cultivators could use?
There had been the necessity to do that during the worldwide hunt of the Kesier species.
Still, that had happened far in the past, and the organizations that had witnessed that event had long disappeared.
Copying the Kesier runes was considered a lost art since they weren't a necessity back then.
However, many millennia had gone by, and the number of sheets in the world had inevitably decreased.
Some cultivators would just carry them when they ascended in the higher plane, but most of them had simply been lost in the various danger zones or on some battlefields.
That led to the current situation where the available Kesier runes weren't enough to satisfy the high number of cultivators.
"When did you obtain the fifth Kesier rune?" Noah asked the two Demons when he understood how harsh the situation was.
"Rather quickly. After all, the demon sects were one of the ruling forces of the Papral nation back then. Yet, it still took me sixty years to bee a rank 5 mage." Flying Demon answered before moving his gaze toward his lover.
Dreaming Demon smiled before answering. "I had to work on my individuality for a while before focusing on my sea of consciousness. I reached the fifth rank in forty years, but I was already a rank 5 cultivator by then."
Flying Demon showed a proud expression at her words, but Noah could only fall deep in thought at that point.
He knew that cultivators trained their minds for last, which always put them decades behind the rank of their dantians.
Yet, he had needed less than thirty years to reach that level!
The reasons for that achievement were apparent in his mind.
His cultivation technique was the most evident reason apart from the incredible sturdiness of his mind and his early advantage.
Noah didn't need to spend time focused on absorbing "Breath
