The Rise of the Black Plain

"Do you want to try it?" Minos looked at his pregnant woman, smiling at her. "Even though you are at the end of the 7th stage, I am sure you will feel the difference."

"Really?" She took her cultivation cushion from her spatial ring and sat down next to Minos, quickly beginning to cultivate.

Minos looked at Jade and Linette and suggested the same. "I know you are a little scared, but try this. I think you will understand how good this feels and get over such a feeling."

"OK..." The two softly commented as they did the same as Gloria, quickly beginning to circulate their energies into their cultivation techniques.

In doing so, just like Gloria, they soon realized how much easier it seemed to cultivate or train in this place compared to the low-level grade-3 cultivation room they formerly used.

In that place, the spiritual energy exhaled by the mirror sphere was much denser and more straightforward to absorb than that of that other place. Moreover, there was also a continuous flow of Laws in that energy.

That was the distinguishing feature since, in ordinary places, one would have to 'unmix' the Laws present in the environment and then use them to one's advantage. But in this instant, the Laws coming out of the black hole were already in the best condition to be studied and absorbed!

As there were even the cultivation understandings of a Spiritual Saint in that black hole, even Gloria felt good cultivating here.

'It truly works!' The only pregnant there felt good while cultivating here, something she had not felt since she had left the Flaming Empire.

In the Temple of Payton, there was a special room with almost the same conditions as this room after adding the medium-level grade-3 array with Minos' black hole.

That place was not a room that Gloria or other members of the Church with her rank could frequent whenever they wanted. But from time to time, Spiritual Emperors like her had the opportunity to train in such a place.

Because of this, Gloria had already experienced something similar and could not help but be shocked by Minos' accomplishments.

'He achieved something so incredible? How? Who made such a black hole?' She wondered as she felt her cultivation comprehension improving.

Meanwhile, Jade and Linette were excited as never before by just cultivating.

Unlike Gloria, who had a high level and was no longer as affected by the conditions created by the Black Hole Bomb, these two were mere level 59 Spiritual Kings.

But dozens of Spiritual Kings of that level were among those absorbed by Minos' black hole. Consequently, the effects of such a thing for them were genuinely unique to the point that all their previous fear had vanished in the blink of an eye.

'I can feel that my control over my cultivation technique is increasing!' Jade smiled as she cultivated, feeling that at her new pace, she would advance in no more than half the time required in the cultivation room she was training in before.

On the other hand, Linette was the most excited one as, unlike her harem sister, she was the one who was most looking forward to a breakthrough and the physical improvements brought about by it. 'In this place, I will finally be able to return to my physical peak!' She felt determined to cultivate there.

Seeing how those women seemed to have understood what he was talking about, Minos smiled at his wives, whom he had talked about all this before.

They then watched those women for a few minutes, with Minos thinking about the black hole. 'If I had kept those people's spatial rings, I could probably have much better results.'

'After all, this device can only stay in one place, it has a limited capacity, and there is a restriction on the area. But on the other hand, crystals and cultivation resources have none of those limitations, and I could have invested in many places and people on the Black Plain.'

'But that's not bad at all... At least I can increase the number of Spiritual Emperors in the region with this.' He sighed, resigned to the situation.

By limiting the 'quantity,' it naturally became easier to improve the 'quality' of something. Because of this, as much as being forced to use his fusion limited him, it brought a possibility of qualitative advancement to Minos' forces.

He could hardly improve the cultivation speed of his Spiritual Kings or even Spiritual Emperors with just crystals.

But with that device, he could!

So, Minos' plan now was to focus on the high-level Spiritual Kings to help them break through to the 7th stage. After that, he would give opportunities to his Spiritual Emperors without access to the Spatial Kingdom to use this place as well.

That way, he could strengthen the Black Plain and the northern region before his journey to the Flaming Empire!

...

A few more minutes passed, and Gloria finally left her meditative state.

"Minos, how come you have something like this? Why didn't you tell me before?" She asked as she put away her cultivation cushion and thoughtfully looked at her man.

"Well, I didn't have that until recently..." Minos commented without giving too many details. "Did you like it?"

"Of course! I'll cultivate here from now on!" She said in a determined manner. "By the way, why are you giving this opportunity to others and not your soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, Abby and Ruth looked at each other, curious what excuse Minos would give this woman who was not yet committed enough to him to know about the Spatial Kingdom.

Minos looked at her and smiled bitterly. "You will find out after your mother, and I sign that agreement I proposed earlier."

"Until then, just consider that I have other options..."

"But, dear, I hope you won't use this place." He seriously looked at her. "I know it must be much better for you to cultivate here, but soon, the four of us will be traveling around the continent, so we'd better give this opportunity to people who will stay here to protect the region for us."

"And don't worry, I'll reward you for it. I already have something perfect to make you stronger quicker." He winked at Abby and Ruth.

Her eyes sharpened, and she clenched her fists, feeling bad for not knowing the whole truth about her man. "All right..."

"Sigh!"

"You see that, little one? Your father is so mean to your mother. He treats her like a stranger who can't be trusted..." She looked down at her belly and massaged it, making Abby and Ruth look at her with envy in their eyes.

Seeing this, Minos brought his three women into his embrace, staying in that place for a few more moments.

And after Realizing that Jade and Linette were too focused on their meditations, he and his wives left after leaving a soldier to explain the situation to the two.

Minos would let the two cultivate in this place as much as they wanted until his staff finished organizing the list of people who would have the right to use the room. After this, they would naturally have to share this space with others and even take turns using it.

Anyway, as the two were already at the peak of the 6th stage, they would probably advance in a short time and would not be much affected by the future schedules of this place.

...

In this way, a week passed, and Linette and Jade soon gained several companions to share that cultivation room in the basement of the Dry City Cultivation Tower.

Among them, Adam Snow and several high-level individuals from Minos' allied families went to that place, with several others already earning a place in the queue.

With that, the first to advance in level there had already appeared. But unfortunately, this was only a level 58 Spiritual King who had reached 59.

However, the peak Spiritual Kings were getting closer and closer to their advancement, and Minos already expected to have at least half a dozen more Spiritual Emperors in his region soon!
