The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1148

After dawn in Dry City, Minos and his three wives departed this place on the back of a black-furred winged beast, Maida, level 60, heading north.

They had already bid farewell and organized Dry City for their time in the Kingdom of the Waves, something none could be sure of due to the mysteries of the inheritance of the Goddess of Life.

Therefore, Minos had left Dillian, level 61, in charge of that place, with Emlyn, level 62, responsible for security in the state.

In the period after the departure of Lulu and her group from Dry City, Maisie had already returned to the Flaming Empire since there did not seem to be any more dangers to her son.

Albano had become a partner of Minos, the neighboring kingdoms in the region were terrorized by the Church, and the region was under his control.

So, she had quietly left this place with no more great problems in sight in the short term. And because of this current reality, low-level Spiritual Emperors staying in these areas were already more than enough to protect the territory without the king or stronger people.

In any case, this was not the last time Minos had left Dry City before going to the Flaming Empire. No, he would still return to spend a few days there before his trip.

Therefore, they flew to the Kingdom of the Waves without much worry, enjoying the trip without haste since there was still some time left before the Walker family's promised deadline ended.

...

A few days later...

While Maida waited in the vicinity of a forested area of the Kingdom of the Waves, Minos and his wives were cultivating in the Spatial Kingdom.

At this place, several Elite Squad soldiers and some beasts were in the vicinity, as they would still have a chance to return to Dry City in a few more months.

For his trip to the Flaming Empire, Minos would not take any of these people or beasts since it was essential to leave them serving on the Black Plain. But as he would probably be gone for more than two years when he left the region, he wanted to let these beings make the most of the time left until then to train in his cultivation sanctuary.

Hence, even though he was traveling to the Kingdom of the Wave alongside his wives, dozens of people were in that place at the moment.

And just when several of these people were watching for them, Gloria had a breakthrough and reached level 69!

Crack!

Upon hearing that characteristic sound, Minos, Abby, and Ruth opened their eyes and looked at Gloria, this red-haired beauty who was not yet showing her pregnant belly.

By Dillian's estimates, Gloria's pregnancy would last from 24 to 50 months. So, it was still too early for her to show any signs.

Also, because of this special gestation period, she could still cultivate at the present moment, having achieved this significant breakthrough.

"Congratulations, Gloria!"

"Now, you just have to get to the peak of the 7th stage and wait for the birth of our baby." Minos commented as he reached her side, happy that his wife was getting stronger.

"Congratulations..." Abby and Ruth also said a few words to that redhead, happy for Gloria.

"Hehe, thank you!" She stood up and smiled at them, happy to be moving forward and getting closer to becoming a Spiritual Saint.

She then lightly punched one of Minos' shoulders and asked. "Now, who will be stronger, eh, dear?"

"You are the strongest..." Minos laughed as he hugged his wife and then whispered to her. "But I'll give you a taste if you want to do a little test."

"Oh? Challenging me?" She looked up at him, smiling. "Tell me the place and time, and I'll make our baby feel how mommy is stronger than daddy!"

"Then let's do it now..."

...

While Minos and Gloria were training together in the Spatial Kingdom, in the Kingdom of the Waves capital, the Walker family was preparing for a special moment.

After years of preparation, Wilfred had reached the peak of the 6th stage, having consumed vast amounts of wealth that could have formed dozens of Spiritual Kings if they had been applied wisely.

But the family's goal was not simply to increase the number of Spiritual Kings but to achieve the first Spiritual Emperor!

That way, with the arrival of this young man close to level 60, no one in this family thought that the decision of King Walker, level 57, had been wrong.

Because of this, they were already preparing for Wilfred's attempted breakthrough, which needed to happen soon since Abby had already reached the 7ª stage for months.

Their deadline was only a year after her breakthrough. So everyone in this organization was already preparing for their time to expire in weeks, at most, months, and were rushing his advancement.

But unlike the failed attempt by Wilfred and Blake's father, the advancement of the new supreme elder of this family was less risky.

The reason for this?

Well, with the development of the Black Plain, the entire region had gained access to better quality resources.

Among them were spiritual arrays and cultivation pills, items with great potential to help people overcome their cultivation bottlenecks.

Since House Walker had prepared for this moment, they had the resources at their disposal and could not help but be hopeful of getting a Spiritual Emperor!

...

In the royal palace of the Kingdom of the Waves capital...

Blake, Wilfred's mother, and other widows of William Walker were in the vicinity of a large cultivation room surrounded by glass walls.

In that place, dozens of other members of that royal family were also there anxiously watching in the direction of the black-haired young man sitting in a lotus position in the middle of that area.

"Do you think he will make it?" One of the women asked her harem sister, drawing the attention of Wilfred's mother.

"I think his chances are better than our late husband's. But I believe they are still less than that of the Spiritual Emperors who advanced on the Black Plain." Another harem sister said as Wilfred's mother clasped her hands.

"Are you nervous?" Blake asked, concerned for this woman since she had been the most focused on this project now reaching its climax.

"A little..." She did not lie.

The former queen of the Kingdom of the Waves was a patriot who defended her state and family to the best of her ability. But it was undeniable that risking her son's life put her in a fearful state, even considering how much good an advance from him could do to this organization.

So far, she had not worried too much since their actions did not endanger her son's life aside from damaging Wilfred's cultivation foundation. But now, in attempting a breakthrough, something that had already resulted in the death of the love of this woman's life, she could not help but feel nervous.

The king then said. "Don't worry. Even my father didn't suffer all the consequences of his failure immediately. So, even if Wilfred fails, I think we will have time to beg the Black Plain for the help of the Divine Doctor Dillian."

"Then I don't think he will suffer the same fate as my father!"
