The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1190-30041322

While time was passing inside the library that Minos and his wives were in, in another part of that temple, some Spiritual Saints were talking about the arrival of this group.

They were in a large living room, where two brown leather sofas were facing each other, next to a glass wall that overlooked the central area of this city.

At the same time, there was a piece of furniture between the two sofas where several snacks were available in case they wanted to eat something.

Finally, three people were sitting cross-legged there, dressed in red clothes, while people in black stood at this place's sides in silence.

"So, visitors from the Flaming Empire have arrived at our temple, eh?" One of them commented.

"And this level 61 fellow even overpowered some of the guards posted at the temple entrance... That person looks pretty impressive. Didn't he identify himself?" A white-haired woman asked one of the Spiritual Emperors who had seen Minos' action from afar.

After hearing his superior's questioning, that man lowered his head and said what he had heard from the guards who had suffered a bit from Minos' 7th technique. "From what I heard, Matriarch, they didn't identify themselves."

"One of them seems to be a member of the Church in the Flaming Empire. She is at level 69. As for the others, two of them, and the Archbishop in question, are wives of the man who is supposedly an outer member of the Church."

"When questioned about their identities, they refused to discuss why they hid them. Since that man was stronger than the guards in place, they had to accept their defeat and retreat." That person finished explaining the previous situation.

The third of those people sitting on one of those two sofas, a man with blond hair, then asked. "How did a level 61 Spiritual Emperor overpower six higher level guards, one of them level 65?"

The same man from before answered with a slightly nervous tone. "I saw it all happening, but I'm not sure how he did it. First, he moved one of his fingers down, and then there was a disturbance in the spiritual energy in the surroundings."

"Then those guards were pressed against the ground, some of them barely able to breathe as they thought they would explode due to the weight of their bodies."

"In the end, he raised his finger, and everything seemed to return to normal."

"Oh?" The woman looked at her two companions on the sofa across from hers. "An innate ability or a technique?"

"If it's a technique, it's a Golden-grade one." The blond man who asked the previous question replied, thinking of the more likely hypothesis.

"If that is the case, then it is not for nothing that this young man has been given the status of an outer member. He will have a great future and serve to help the Church." The second man said, thinking how powerful every person with techniques of that quality was.

Ordinary people did not know, but these Spiritual Saints, who had at least one Golden-grade technique, knew there was a vast difference between the power released by Golden-grade and Silver-grade techniques.

Not only did the energy conversion efficiency have a 100% difference, but the laws involved in each Golden-grade technique were more profound.

That meant that their power was extraordinary, had greater compatibility with fusion, required less power to use, and released more destruction, even though they consumed less energy than those of other ranks.

But not only this, when a cultivator learned techniques, they became part of their spiritual journey, which would influence their soul.

Not only the cultivation technique could influence such a thing!

When someone spent a thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand years using an attack technique, that technique naturally influenced that cultivator's soul in a certain way.

The result of this? Having Golden-grade techniques from a young age meant that such a cultivator could have his soul affected for longer, which would raise its quality.

And with that, a breakthrough to the 11th stage was more likely to happen in the future!

These Spiritual Saints knew this, so each of them understood what it meant if Minos did have techniques of this rank at his current level.

'That must be the case!' The woman there thought. 'It is no wonder such a girl's post allowed her to marry outside the Church. They must expect a lot from that boy.'

She had no idea about Minos and Gloria's ages, but compared to her own, those two Spiritual Emperors were no more than children.

But unfortunately, she and her two companions had ignored the slight possibility that Minos had impregnated Gloria because of it, had become an outer member of the Church...

He was indeed talented, and Margot knew that he had the potential to bring some benefits to the Spiritual Church. But the biggest reason he had that special status was for Gloria's honor, not his fantastic future.

"Well, this fellow has the right to be arrogant and act against these daring guards!" One of the two men there said while having a smile on his face.

The blond man agreed. "Yes, there is nothing wrong with what he did. In fact, help this young man get what he wants here."

"We're not friendly to the Payton Temple people, but we don't need to be hostile either." The white-haired woman, level 76, agreed with her two colleagues. "At the end of the day, we are all members of the Church, so treating our friends well is important."

The Spiritual Emperors in the surrounding area heard all this with wide eyes, surprised that these millennial experts could speak comments of that nature over a level 61 young man.

'Are they giving importance to that fellow? Do they need to speak those excuses to try to get on his good side?' One of those people thought about it in silence, surprised that his bosses seemed to want to have a good relationship with Minos.

But even if they wanted that, those Spiritual Saints were not willing to bother associating with Minos right now. It would not be suitable for their images if they gave relevance to a level 61 young man.

So they would let their subordinates take care of the matters related to this for the moment, and who knows when Minos became someone of their stage, they would sit at the same table.

By then, the help from afar should be good enough for them to maintain positive contact with this promising young man.

With that, it was not long before the subordinates of the three Spiritual Saints left there to carry out their orders.

They would pass on the order for people from this temple not to stand in the way of Minos' group and even help them in their local affairs.

'Hmm, I will tell them about the Vogel family event that will take place in a few days. Maybe they will be interested...' One of the Spiritual Emperors thought of this as he moved to where Minos and his wives were supposed to be.
