Chapter 2717  Nearing Level 115

Ruth stood at the entrance of ruin number 15, watching as Gloria ventured inside to begin her first challenge in this dimension.

After years of preparation and seclusion, Gloria had finally advanced to level 113, four months after Abby had reached the same level.

Abby was now meditating in her hut, having conquered ruin number 15 weeks prior. She was preparing to face ruin 14. Minos had recently completed ruin 4, so they planned to remain in the area for an indeterminate period until he conquered the last three ruins of this inheritance.

Ruth, meanwhile, was at the beginning of level 114. After providing Gloria with the necessary tips to tackle the upcoming challenge, she was ready to move on to ruin number 12.

Contemplating ruin 11 was out of the question for her unless she advanced to the 12th stage in this dimension. However, she doubted she could achieve such a feat. Even in a powerful place like Uzira, advancing to the 12th stage was extremely difficult.

Not surprisingly, after all this time in the level 124 soul fragment dimension, Minos had 'only' reached the peak of level 114. He was nearing the decisive moment of his advancement but still required extensive training, challenges, and opportunities for deeper understanding to get there.

Right now, Minos was cultivating in seclusion, preparing to challenge ruin 3, a feat he planned to undertake in another 10 years.

As Ruth continued on her way after leaving Gloria, Tiolos observed the black-haired woman of Minos from a distance.

"Lady Gloria has begun her challenge. With her likely success in a few more weeks, we'll only need the last three ruins of this place to regain our freedoms," Tiolos, at level 118, remarked to Leger, who was currently at the peak of level 116.

Aside from Tiolos, the strongest among them, only three individuals were at level 117, while all the other Supremes were at level 116. Thanks to the opportunities they had seized in the area's ruins, they had all grown at a rate surpassing even the women of Minos.

However, most of them had reached bottlenecks in this inheritance. They either needed to cultivate for a long time to face new challenges or risk their lives, a path most were unwilling to take. Consequently, nearly all were living in the mountainous surroundings, gradually strengthening themselves for future breakthroughs.

Yet, even in this advantageous location, advancing wasn't simple for strong cultivators like the group members. It would take them centuries, at the very least, to find opportunities to advance.

Leger listened to Tiolos and thought about the end of their journey in this place. "How long will it take Minos to overcome the final three challenges? Will he beat them before he advances to level 115?"

"I don't think so. Minos should advance to the 12th stage in another 100 years at most. By then, he'll still be preparing for test number 1." Tiolos gave his opinion on the matter.

'That's good. By the time we leave here, I'll be at level 117. I'll be able to deal better with those who might be hunting me by then.' Leger took a deep breath, once again feeling how positive it had been for them to enter the spatial distortion that had brought them to this place.

"Are you still going to challenge the ruins here?" Leger asked the man next to him.

"I don't know." Tiolos was sincere. He had reached ruin number 5, but 4 seemed too difficult for the current him, judging by Minos' descriptions. "Unless I level up, I've finished my journey in this dimension."

"I'll still try something in our final years here. That's if Minos gives me the time." Leger smiled as he looked towards the tent of the group's leader, who was currently meditating in the lotus position, causing a cyclone of spiritual energy to condense over his tent.

Soon, Tiolos and Leger would return to their usual training and meditation, allowing time to pass as the group continued to grow stronger. Gloria would soon achieve victory in the ruin 15 challenge, while Ruth would eventually triumph in her most recent endeavor. Abby would awaken from her cultivation state and head to ruin 14, while Minos remained in seclusion.

Ten years would pass in the blink of an eye for the group in the pocket dimension of the quasi-Celestial soul fragment, and Minos would soon advance to his next test.

Being stronger and more talented than the creator of this space had anticipated, over the next 50 years, Minos would not only approach his advancement but also complete two challenges.

Before any of his companions could advance to another level, Minos would swiftly reach the final barrier preventing his group from leaving this space and pursuing their plans in Uzira.

Standing before the last challenge, he faced the level 124 soul fragment, who now regarded him with a newfound respect after witnessing his progress over the past 235 years.

"You're finally here…" she said casually, smiling with interest. "But I believe you made a mistake in coming to me without first becoming a Supreme. Are you really confident that you'll beat me before moving on?" she asked, neither angry nor pleased.

"Something tells me that advancing into your dimension will bring me more problems than benefits. I'll do that before I go any further."

She sighed, but couldn't disagree. "You're right. But I'm afraid you don't have a choice. He who is watching you will have you with him before you can leave my pocket dimension. Either you advance before you challenge me or you advance in the middle of my challenge. One way or another, you will be summoned by the one who has their eye on you."

That was his concern. What would happen if he advanced to this place and was summoned to the second phase of the True Celestial inheritance? He felt with his prophetic abilities that not only would he leave his group for a long time, but that he would end up destabilizing this dimension and forcing everyone in it out if he advanced in there.

"Then I can only try," he said to her before cutting off one of his fingers and activating ruin number 1!
