The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2142

A few weeks after Henry's level 100 breakthrough...

As the news of the new God of the Spiritual World spread, a dragon from the Continent of Beasts also ascended to divinity, becoming the sixth God of this planet!

Many powers in the world were shocked by the advancement of these two beings, whom no one expected to reach level 100, and many powers were naturally more excited than ever.

With two more Gods, the planet's strength had increased by 50%, which was quite significant for a world that feared its own end in about a decade.

But while many organizations and even organization leaders were surprised by this new advance, and many wondered where the Divine Medicines responsible for it had come from, Minos and his state had paid no attention to the matter.

Emperor Stuart was well aware that a dragon would advance to level 100 near the start of the Continental Tournament. After receiving this news this morning, Minos was only happy because, with more 11th-stage cultivators in the world, fewer people would look at him.

As much as some might suspect strange things about him, they were in the minority and not enough to bother Emperor Stuart.

So, while the world was reacting to the recent advances of these two beings, Minos and his group traveled to Elves Island to participate in the Continental Tournament.

They were on the Black Plain Empire's most advanced spaceship, traveling across the East Sea, where the freezing cold and space storms now made traveling very difficult.

But unlike many groups who faced these phenomena with less advanced ships or artifacts, the Stuart family was on a spaceship capable of ignoring up to 90% of the phenomena in its path.

Just a fraction of what was happening because of the Ice Age was enough to cause the crew to take a detour on their way to Elves Island!

In any case, without the ability to travel through wormholes, the party had already been on the road for several days, and it would be several more days before they reached their destination.

Meanwhile, Sarah and Kendrick, along with Minos, were isolated in the ship's main training room, receiving training from their old man before participating in the Continental Tournament.

Sarah was currently at level 81, while Kendrick was at the peak of level 76, very close to reaching level 77.

One had to be able to manipulate space to participate in the Continental Tournament. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enter the independent space where the matches would take place. However, Minos was confident that his son would be able to participate in this competition!

Even though he was only level 76, Kendrick had the same spatial manipulation ability and energy advantage as Minos!

Therefore, even though he was only a Spiritual Saint, the Crown Prince of the Black Plain Empire was fully capable of participating in the most prestigious competition in the Spiritual World!

While training, Hollie, Lily, and Rowan took advantage of the trip to enjoy their lives a little, knowing that they would soon be stuck in the Spatial Kingdom.

Minos and his wives didn't intend to leave these 'children' outside their family's cultivation sanctuary during the war. At most, they would be Spiritual Saints when the war began, too weak to fight or, rather, too vulnerable.

So, the three of them were enjoying what might be their last trip and adventure outside of the Spatial Kingdom before the Spiritual World disaster reached its peak.

Lily was currently at level 67, while Rowan was at 66, and Hollie was at 65.

...

While Minos was training with Kendrick and Sarah, Isabella and Ruth were in the middle of this spaceship in a not-so-large but very comfortable and luxurious living room.

With them were some of the group's traveling allies, including Queen Mcbride, who was currently level 95, but also George Sista, level 90, who was there to represent Sista. No one from Albano, Rosser, Blackrock, or the Flaming Empire was there, but those states were allies of the Black Plain Empire in the event that was about to begin.

Anyway, while they were traveling with these two and their advisors, the two women from Minos talked to them about the competition they were about to enter.

"So, what do you know about the Continental Tournament?" Ruth asked the people who knew the least about this event, being Minos' wife.

"The Continental Tournament is a big attraction." Hannah Mcbride said as she looked into Ruth's eyes. "You would certainly have a lot of fun taking part in it under other circumstances.

The tournament lasts a few weeks, but during that time, there are a variety of attractions for spectators and bettors, with fantastic prizes for each side.

Young people can participate as contestants and win prizes for the competitions they take part in, while gamblers can have fun following the fights and betting at a high level.

The main part of the tournament is undoubtedly the Secret Hunt in the Spatial Kingdom created by the organizers, but there are many other contests, from races, flying, ordinary fights, arm wrestling, comprehension contests, and, in short, everything you can imagine. There are opportunities for lesser cultivators, gamblers, and powerful people. In a way, it's a very democratic competition."

George said to Ruth, not disagreeing with Hannah's words at all. "This is the Continental Tournament in normal situations. We'll still have plenty of attractions and opportunities, but we'll hardly be able to enjoy the event in our current circumstances.

So, aside from the high bettors, I think the only people who are going to be able to win anything at this event are the people who are going to be playing in the main events."

"I wouldn't be surprised if there are more than 60% fewer attractions in this tournament edition." A Sista advisor commented.

A eunuch from the Flowers Kingdom then said. "The main point of the tournament is the high-stakes betting, which can give away a prize worth as much as Divine Medicine. In the Secret Hunt, 9th-stage participants will face creatures, ruins, and traps to collect items hidden in the area.

There is no map of the area, as the forest is almost like a living labyrinth. Because the creatures there change so often, each participant will feel as if they are in a completely new place, even though this Spatial Kingdom has been used many times in the past.

The player's task is to choose competitors to bet on and invest in, as well as a series of cataloged items that they can bet about whether they will be found or not and who will find them. The more the bettors get right, the more points they earn. The more accurate their bets, the better their scores. At the end of the event, the player with the highest score wins the right to hear the result of a collective vision from the elven tribe's seers."

Those who didn't know what this contest was about became more interested in the event, seeing that participating in the contest could indeed be interesting, both for fun and for great results.
