The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1586 The Return Of Envoys From The Evergreen Empire

Hannah then said. "I see... Your innate ability is really phenomenal. If you can pass it on to one of your children, you will develop a powerful lineage on this continent."

Minos stopped what he was doing and saw an opportunity in Hannah's words. "This is not only good for my family. Once I get stronger, I will certainly help my friends and allies."

"Really? That will give you the ability to do such a thing?" She smiled, realizing that Minos told her he could help her if he got stronger.

Minos had better results doing what he had done to prove his abilities to Hannah by cultivating within the Spatial Kingdom. But he could use his skill on skeletons outside his cultivation sanctuary and eventually help his allies not so close to him to cultivate faster.

He wouldn't tell Hannah right now that he could use that skill on people other than himself, lest her interest become too high for them to continue this conversation peacefully. But since he still had room for improvement regarding his cultivation and Physique quality, he knew he could use that to convince this woman that he would one day be able to help others like her.

He said. "I don't think it's impossible. If I am lucky enough to find a Divine medicine, I will raise the quality of my Physique to Divine-grade."

She laughed upon hearing this, knowing that finding something like this was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

But Minos' words were by no means absurd.

Any Spiritual Demigod would have to raise the quality of their Physique to the Divine grade if they wanted to have a chance of reaching level 100. So using something of that level to improve one's innate characteristics was not unreasonable.

If Minos could do this, she didn't doubt that his innate ability would become so strong that he could promote permanent improvements even in someone at her level!

She only laughed, for, finding this resource free and gaining the right to use it would be the hardest thing in this world!

So she commented casually, without taking it seriously. "If you find a Divine medicine and promise that to a half dozen experts, I'm sure you'll find an army of Demigods to help you in the fight, haha."

For Spiritual Demigods, advancing levels was extremely difficult. One level could take thousands of years for someone to achieve the energy and understanding needed to raise their soul force. So certainly, many would help someone able to strengthen themselves with that medicine, but then to be able to help all of them.

Divine medicine was superb only for the one who absorbed it and their subordinates, who would be favored by the increased power of their leader. But if someone who used such a thing could distribute permanent benefits to allies, helping them achieve level advancement, then it would be easy for that person to get the support of the world's greatest experts.

That was precisely Minos' goal!

"I intend to do that." He said in good humor, making that woman think he was joking but also leaving crucial information in this expert's mind. "When I begin my journey in pursuit of this qualitative breakthrough, I will give the opportunity to join me to any interested parties, as long as they support me."

Queen Mcbride looked at Minos and said a little more seriously. "It just wouldn't be good for you to let one of those experts above level 97 find out about this. Promises of advancement would not sway someone with such power, and they would certainly fight for the resource capable of elevating them to the 11th stage."

With that said, the Queen of the Flowers Kingdom would stand there for a few more moments, admiring, sometimes testing that set of bones. Then, she would talk a bit with Minos about it, the history of it, hearing from him how these giant beings seemed to have self-destructed in a war long ago.

At the end of the day, she had not been able to manipulate it and made a deal with Minos for him to allow women from the Mcbride family into the headquarters of the Immemorial Graves Sect.

They would study it for alternatives to their forces without taking this item away.

With that, she returned to her state, leaving Minos in that area of the Endless Snow Mountain Range, from where he would have to return to the Dry City on his own.

Luckily for Emperor Stuart, the Immemorial Graves Sect was part of his forces and had a teleportation array that could take him to a city near the core of his state.

In less than 2 hours, he would be back in his capital to talk to the core of his forces about the results of the visit of the mighty Hannah Mcbride!

...

Four months later...

After Minos' return, time passed quickly.

He stayed in Dry City for almost half of that period because of Isabella's presence.

But she had to return to her state after a few weeks at her man's side, and finally, Minos returned to his periodic seclusion in the Spatial Kingdom, helping to raise the strength of everyone there.

Sarah had reached level 49 at just under 17 years old and was close to becoming a Spiritual King, which could put her in the position of the greatest cultivation genius in the entire empire!

On the other hand, the strongest in the empire had achieved another breakthrough, reaching level 75 this morning.

Minos thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of using the giant skeletons in the Spatial Kingdom. Before leaving seclusion this morning, he finished consolidating his level at the beginning of level 75.

Other people from the Black Plain Army Elite Squad and elders from the Gray Clouds Sect had advanced these days, but no notable special case.

The high-level elders remained at the same levels as before, and Minos' family members were battling to get closer to their desired advancements.

But not only that would happen on this day!

At dusk, the two individuals at levels 84 and 85 arrived in Dry City to receive the response from Minos and Gloria regarding Calvert Evergreen's invitation for them to join his faction.

Upon arriving in their spiritual beast, those two were soon taken to the Dry City Temple. Minos and Gloria were already waiting for them to talk about this complicated matter.

They obviously would not accept Calvert's proposal. They had only taken the time to listen to that man's and his opponents' propositions to buy time for themselves.

At this point, they could no longer prolong the situation. They would make a decision that would undoubtedly negatively affect their interests in a short time!

And so Minos said to that couple sent by Calvert. "Well, we appreciate Prince Calvert's offer, but we judge that the conditions are not the most favorable for our group."
