The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1135

After falling under the effects of Abby's innate ability, the three criminals were totally on hand to answer Minos and Margot's questions.

Minos saw Abby's signal, so he decided to ask the first question. "Where are you guys from?"

"Albano, Furious Shadows..." All three simultaneously answered, with no emotion on their faces.

"And where are you guys now?"

"Northern region of the Central Continent, presumably, Black Plain..."

"I happen to be a member of the Spiritual Church?"

"No..."

"What about her?" Minos pointed to Margot.

"She is a Matriarch of the Spiritual Church..."

Minos smiled and looked at his mother-in-law. "As you can see, they are not being forced to say what we want them to say."

But he did not even need to do that. With her soul sense, Margot could easily determine that Abby had only influenced them to speak the truth. She was not controlling them to self-incriminate themselves.

Minos saw that Margot seemed OK with this and then continued. "Furious Shadows sent you to the region for what?"

The oldest of the three replied. "To support the criminal alliance recently formed to dominate the Black Plain..."

"And how would you do that?"

"By eliminating the Black Plain's Spiritual Emperors with our men..."

"So, do you or do you not think that your actions go against the norms of the Spiritual Church?"

That person then said without hesitation. "Yes, our actions go against the rules of the Church. We are aware of that..."

"Then that's it." Minos looked at the woman beside him, satisfied.

Margot then asked. "Are there any other organizations behind the Furious Shadows scheme?"

"No..."

"Tell me about your organization's plans in detail..."

They then continued there for 30 minutes, with Margot asking those individuals many questions. Among them, she collected information about the Spiritual Emperors coming to the region to attack Minos' forces.

In the end, she found out everything that the three captured men knew about this transgression alongside Minos and Abby.

In any case, the Spiritual Church did not care whether cases like these were the individual acts of a few souls or the entire organization behind these people. For the Church, it would only take one person to disregard its rules for all its fury to hang over an entire family or sect.

Because of this, Margot did not bother trying to find out if this action by the Furious Shadows had been something orchestrated by the leader of this organization or another member of it.

Those who rebelled deserved extermination, something necessary to keep the ideas of the more daring ones in check, thus avoiding constant problems.

With that done, she took those three men and left Dry City, heading back to the capital of the Brown Kingdom to send a new message to the Church.

This time she would not do this to speak to the branch of the Flaming Empire but to the headquarters of that organization in the Evergreen Empire.

A select group in the Spiritual Church took care of matters like this. So, people like Margot or members of the Albano branch were not involved in enforcing punishments like this.

No, at most, they would make the accusation and gather evidence. Then, after that, it was up to this group to solve the problems, judging and exterminating whoever was needed.

Because of this, she soon rushed to that place to start the proceedings!

As for Minos and Abby, they returned to their business, feeling one less weight on their shoulders.

Now they would finally have a few weeks of peace!

...

At the end of the day...

After working hard and finding time to train and cultivate his techniques in the middle of the day, Minos made his way alongside his women to the Cultivation Tower.

Upon doing so, in a few minutes, they met up with Jade and Linette, heading straight to the basement of that building, where a cultivation room was already waiting for them.

Spiritual energy had a behavior similar to that of heated gases. It tended not to stay close to the ground but to rise from it into the skies.

Because of this, the energy absorbed by spiritual roots returned to the atmosphere and could be used by living beings in the Spiritual World.

Also, because of this, the room that would receive Minos' black hole had been built underground so that any energy lost in that room would go to the upper floors of this building.

Minos knew he would produce such a thing one day, so this place had been made with this in mind.

So, soon he and his group arrived in that place that looked like an ordinary cultivation room.

"What do you want to show us, Minos?" Linette asked while her heart was beating rapidly.

'He had brought five women to a secluded, empty place... I wonder what he wanted?'

'Perhaps he had found a legendary method to get advancements by having fun?' She thought similar things as she asked that.

Minos then showed the mirror sphere in his hand to those women before placing it on the floor in the middle of that cultivation room, which could receive up to 15 people at a time.

He explained. "That's a Black Hole Bomb. It's a weapon. But if used in the right way, it can release the spiritual energy and Natural Laws of living beings absorbed by the black hole."

"Such a thing is capable of turning an ordinary cultivation room into a pseudo cultivation sanctuary!"

"Uh?" Gloria, Jade, and Linette, who knew nothing about it, exclaimed in surprise at Minos' speech.

"A bomb? Isn't that dangerous, Minos?" Jade asked as she looked at that thing glowing and emitting rich spiritual energy.

Minos smiled and said. "If I close those small openings, this could explode and destroy the entire Dry City. But if no one messes with this sphere, nothing will happen."

"At most, its energy and Natural Laws will diminish over time, weakening the black hole and also the effects of an explosion."

"But..." Linette felt slightly uncomfortable to discover that thing could destroy an entire city.

Minos then assured them. "Well, don't worry. As I said, it's safe the way it is. Anyway, that black hole is not something that can be erased without someone absorbing the powers of the living things absorbed by it."

"Then, since I don't need a bomb at the moment, I'll make it available to people interested in cultivating more quickly."

Gloria heard all this with her eyebrows frowning. "What do you mean by a pseudo cultivation sanctuary?"

"Well, this black hole was created from a fusion of techniques and then evolved into something partially independent after absorbing countless cultivators."

"But black holes don't simply erase what they swallow. Rather, they store information in a different form than is normally found outside of them." He said. "And it turns out that this form of information is precisely spiritual energy and the Natural Laws."

When the black hole emerged, everything it swallowed was concentrated into its singularity, turning every law or unit of spiritual energy in the swallowed bodies into a pure form of energy embedded with laws.

The result was an extremely rich 'reject,' even more valuable than all the energy and Natural Laws of the absorbed cultivators!

That's right, the black hole made it possible to extract the powers of living beings and multiplied such a thing!

Because of this nature, the thousands of Spiritual Kings and the Spiritual Saint swallowed by that thing had become a pure source of power to enrich a place like this cultivation room.

Minos then finished his explanation. "But unfortunately, this pure form of radiation expelled by that black hole is not complete. After all, only a God would have all the understanding to provide a body capable of compressing all the Natural Laws. But only Spiritual Kings are part of that..."

"So, that can't turn a cultivation room into a true cultivation sanctuary. At most, it's a pseudo that can greatly accelerate the speed of Law comprehension and cultivation of the people who train here."

That was the reason behind the cultivation speed of the Black Plain Army members who have access to the Spatial Kingdom!

Such a place had been made by a God, someone who had built that with all the existing Natural Laws and concentrated them there.

In any way, this cultivation room with such an item could come a little close to that and enable those Spiritual Kings and even Spiritual Emperors to have breakthroughs if they cultivated in this place!

"That..." Gloria looked in shock at Minos since she did not know that something like that was possible to make artificially.
