The Rise of the Black Plain

After meeting with some of his family, Minos would soon finish his preparations to leave Dry City and begin his seclusion in the Spatial Kingdom.

When he had finished everything he had to do that afternoon, he would leave his imperial palace for the army headquarters, where he would leave with everyone who would be staying with him in the Spatial Kingdom during this period of seclusion.

Much of his family would remain in Dry City to conduct the affairs of the state and protect the family's interests. But several members who were important in the present or the future would join him in this seclusion!

When he arrived at the place of departure, Minos was greeted by almost all of his children, except Sarah, who would remain in the city to take care of the agricultural part of the empire, something she had been doing since the preparations for the ice age began.

Minos' four other children would join him in his seclusion in the Spatial Kingdom for the next few months.

But not only them, Minos' aunt, Angelica, and his grandmother, Patience, were also going to the Spatial Kingdom, while Oswald and Maisie, currently levels 86 and 87, would stay in Dry City and weren't even around to see everyone leave that day.

Abby's parents and Isabella would also go with them to the Spatial Kingdom, while Gloria, Ruth, and Abby would stay in Dry City to attend to the affairs of the imperial family and the Spiritual Church.

In addition to them, some 9th and 10th-stage spiritual professionals would also go to the Spatial Kingdom, where Minos' group would stop studying alien technologies for the next few months to concentrate on raising their levels with their leader.

Minos stood before a group of more than 30 people and looked at his eldest daughter's husband, a man with blond hair and the same level as himself. He asked as he looked at the man who would be entering his Spatial Kingdom for the first time. "Are you ready?"

"Yes," George replied as he greeted Minos, knowing it was with physical contact that they would leave for such a place.

The other people around held hands or touched each other's shoulders until the last in line touched George's right shoulder.

"Alright, let's go to the Spatial Kingdom!" Minos said before using the ring that Henricus Longus had left him to control his coming and going from that space, which quickly caused all those individuals to be covered in a form of spatial energy.

A second later, they all disappeared from the courtyard they were in and immediately appeared in the Spatial Kingdom.

By the time they arrived, almost everyone there was already familiar with the area and quickly dispersed to their places of training or study.

Only George and some of the stronger members of the group stayed near Minos, observing their surroundings.

The Spatial Kingdom of Minos seemed a bit different from what George had expected from such a place. This wasn't only because there were no large buildings, as one would expect from the headquarters of an organization. It was also due to the difference in the energy density of the area, as well as the nature of the free laws in the environment.

'This feeling... Why do I feel this place is more complex than it should be?' George thought, knowing that Spatial Kingdoms shouldn't be like this room.

But when he looked at the plant-covered skeletons at the edge of this place, he understood a bit why this place was different.

'It seems that Minos Stuart somehow managed to integrate these things into his Spatial Kingdom... That's why there is so much wealth here! He looked in the direction of 38 Divine Medicines, something he already knew was there because of Sarah and some promises he had made over the years.

Initially, there were about 30 Divine Medicines in this Spatial Kingdom. But after Minos brought several giant skeletons and the body of Fah'um of Dunov into this space, things changed, and more Divine Medicines matured.

That's why this whole room seemed different from what George had expected from the Spatial Kingdom!

Minos then said. "Don't touch any plants in this place. Cultivate wherever you want, but don't disturb others with your cultivation. Otherwise, do what you want."

With these words, he went to the central area of the Spatial Kingdom, where he wanted to start cultivating to raise his soul power to the maximum before starting the critical part of his advancement.

Minos wasn't at the absolute peak of level 89 yet, but he would reach it in a few months.

After that, it would be enough for him to collect one of the Divine-grade medicines in the area and do the same procedure he had done before to advance the level and quality of the physique simultaneously.

It would be a great moment not only for him but also for everyone in this place, as they would benefit from the magnificent amount of energy and laws that would become available after consuming the Divine Medicine.

Seeing Minos sitting in a lotus position over a cultivation pillow, George saw that there were more than 300 beings in the Spatial Kingdom at the moment, ranging from humans to beasts and even hybrids.

Kyla and Emlyn were there, going about keeping the Spatial Kingdom organized, with the mother currently at level 85 and her daughter at level 83.

Titus was also there, eager for Minos to reach level 90 so they could finally begin their experiments!

'The time has finally come.' The old white-furred fox thought. 'I'm going to spend the next few months studying the alien items and this corpse, and when he really starts to progress, I'll focus on trying to understand a bit more of our theories.' Titus planned.

George saw the foxes and thought, 'This place is incredible! And with so many resources, Minos could decide the fate of the Spiritual World. I'll find a way to convince him and my mother to make a deal. This could be her chance to reach level 100 and improve our chances against the aliens! 

So, the newcomers soon set about what they had come to do in this space, cultivating or trying to improve their understanding of enemy techniques, innate powers, and technologies.

As each sought their improvements, time would begin to pass, and in the blink of an eye, Minos' seclusion would reach the 6-month mark!

But before the 7th month, he would open his eyes, ready to harvest a Divine Medicine for his physique breakthrough!

The time had finally come for him to attempt to advance to the 10th stage and achieve the Divine Physique!
