The summoning grimoire, similar to the Ancient Runes and Immemorial Runes, first appeared ages ago; no one knows when. There is a very close relationship between the summoning grimoire and runes. It was said that they were first created by the Deities during the Immemorial Era. The summoning grimoire was a heavenly book that was created by the immemorials to allow humans to become stronger, a ladder for humans to reach the Heaven Realm. from the rumours, in this whole world, including Tong Tian Tower, Heaven Realm and Outer Realm, there were only 10,000 Bronze Grimoires, 5,000 Silver Grimoires, 1000 Gold Grimoires, 500 Platinum Grimoires and 100 Diamond Grimoires. This number is fixed, so if you have one Diamond Grimoire, that means that there are only 99 Diamond Grimoires left. If the 100 Diamond Grimoires quota has been met, even if someone has met the requirements to level up their grimoires to Diamond-ranked, they wouldn’t be able to rank up, unless they killed a Diamond-ranked Grimoire owner. Of course, not everyone can rank up to Diamond-rank, it is on a whole other level than Platinum-ranked Grimoires and below. It will not rank up just from accumulation of battle experience, it requires special conditions. One of them is Blood Link.

Anyone who possessed a grimoire actually possessed a storage space. No, it should be called a realm. The higher the rank of the grimoire, the more perfect the world inside it would be! The space inside a Bronze Grimoire is only a dark, empty space, there is completely nothing inside. A beast can only sleep when it enters into a Bronze Grimoire. On the other hand, the space inside a Silver Grimoire is filled with light and earth while the Gold Grimoire is filled with mountains and rivers. Beasts can continue to live when they enter the grimoire, they don’t have to sleep. The space inside a platinum grimoire was even wider and more complete. There are birds and butterflies, flowers and trees, amongst many other things.

Additionally, the grimoire can be used as a storage space of objects. Also, with the use of 2 holy beasts, it is possible for the user and others to enter the grimoire to live inside it.

## History

According to their research, those wise scholars came to the conclusion that summoning grimoires were created by the Gods in ancient times. However, the origin of those Gods was uncovered, they were the mysterious Eastern Immortal Tribe.

Their purpose in creating summoning grimoires was not just to improve the fighting force of Heaven Realm but to give all inhabitants of Heaven Realm a cultivation practice that would allow them to surpass their current limits.

With the help of the summoning grimoires, all of the inhabitants would have a chance to cultivate until they matured to the point that they would be able to interact with their ancient ancestors, and finally be able to return to take their place within the Eastern Immortal Tribe.

If these summoning grimoire cultivators wanted to return to the Eastern Immortal Tribe inside Gods’ World their appearance would need to be the same as that of the Gods, otherwise, they would be rejected. This fact explains why summoners must be able to transform into a human form, no matter what race they were. (CH.747)
