Chapter 2202 Rapid Progress (1)

??In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since Minos' party arrived in the new world.

In that time, they had experienced ups and downs, but most of their losses had occurred upon their arrival in this land. The group became very cautious after the initial incident with the level 100 root.

The group's precautions had been very efficient, and nothing out of the ordinary had happened since then.

However, the group had some problems with the experiments with the corpse of the level 100 root, which had proven to be very powerful and valuable to the group.

In the very first experiments, the group suffered a loss when one of the two aliens in the group died after exploding because he couldn't handle the amount of energy and laws that entered his body from consuming the resources prepared by Minos' experts.

The group then learned that in addition to the strongest members of the group, the others would have to consume resources from this root that were much weaker than the products originally made, or they would have problems.

The free energy of this world was not so different from that of the Spiritual World when it was much stronger, except for its density and laws. But the same energy source in the bodies of special beings was quite violet. If you weren't prepared to degrade such a resource, losing control of your power and exploding wasn't difficult.

Therefore, it took some time for the group to learn how to separate the power of this corpse more efficiently and produce something that could be 'softer' for the fragile bodies of the weaker members of the group.

While this was happening, most of the group focused on cultivation, and some of the remaining crew members made their first breakthroughs in this new world.

But these were people who had already reached the peak of their levels before, so it didn't count for much as a direct effect of where they were.

But that was about to change!

...

"He's advanced to level 92!" One of the men in Minos' group exclaimed as he looked at the body of the blue-skinned man sitting in the lotus position.

Meanwhile, everyone in the surrounding area was paying attention to the native of The Adamant Land, who was finally showing signs that he had solidified all the power he had consumed with the resources from the level 100 root.

For almost a month, the last biological alien in the group had been cultivating the resources created by the group's experts.

Today, when he finally opened his eyes, and his cultivation had stabilized at level 92, the group realized that the latest experiments had been successful.

"This guy... He was at level 90 before. But he went up two levels without having his base destabilized." One of the mid-level Demigods commented, excited that it was his turn to go through the strengthening process.

"Don't get too excited. The aliens have stronger cultivation bases than the natives of the Spiritual World because their world has immortal energy in greater concentration than the Spiritual World." One of the warriors in the group commented.

"Some of us can definitely make such good progress, but I think most of us will improve less than that alien." Another individual, who agreed with the previous comment, expressed his thoughts.

"Take it easy, guys. Our experiments with ghost humans haven't even begun yet. The results may end up disappointing some of us if we get our hopes up".

While the group of at least 20 people commented on the alien's surroundings, Minos observed the creature while standing next to Maximillian, the strongest robot in the group and the remaining alchemist in his crew.

He asked. "What adjustments will we have to make to the resources for our companions?"

"Not many, Your Majesty. I already did something very compatible with us by creating the resources this alien consumed. If he coped well with the side effects of such resources, I believe we will also cope well."

"This is good. We need to get results as soon as possible. We're vulnerable here, and we don't know how long it will be before another powerful being crosses our path." Maximilian commented.

"Begin the next phase of the experiments," Minos said as he turned away from the people in his group and walked alongside Maximillian towards their other interests there.

When they arrived in front of the giant egg he had found in the Spiritual World, Minos and Maximillian looked at it for a moment, feeling its spiritual signs.

Minos had brought with him in one of his spatial rings the giant fossilized egg he had found on the ocean floor in the Spiritual World.

After what had happened with the ancient telescope, he thought he might be able to change something about this egg, which had the same origin and age as the item left by Fah'um of Dunov.

As soon as he connected the egg to this world, he realized that this essence had completely changed, and even some of its layers were broken.

The egg was clearly dead. But the energy of this world was causing it to change, something that made Minos and Maximillian look at it in anticipation of what would happen in the future.

Amid this, cultivating near the egg seemed even more beneficial to the group than before Minos placed it in that area.

Even those who weren't so familiar with immortal energy were improving their mastery of the immortal techniques that Minos had taught them, while everyone's combat skills were improving.

Anyway, while looking at it, Maximilian asked. "What do you think this will unleash in the future?"

Minos had no idea but answered anyway: "Some valuable item to create a powerful weapon. That should be a living being, but since it's dead, it must have left something that will be useful in an artifact or something."

"Do you want to use such a thing?" Maximilian looked at Minos.

"I'm weaker than you. Then it's best, isn't it? Anything that makes our group more powerful specialists makes sense."

Maximillian smiled when he heard that, looked at Minos, and remembered the time they had met. Back then, he hadn't imagined that he would reach such a moment.

"I just hope it pays off quickly. We've been stuck here for months... It's only a matter of time before something finds us and problems equal or greater than this root find us." Maximilian said with a sigh.

"I know. But let's be optimistic. We're getting stronger fast. In another two months, we should be able to use up all of that root's corpse and improve our levels even more." Minos commented, hoping they would have peace for at least that long.

After that, even if nothing happened, it would be time for them to at least try to explore the surroundings a little bit, which, of course, would have its dangers.
