The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2214

After everyone in the group finished their breakthroughs and left their meditation states, they took a day to test their current abilities and note their new specialties.

In the Spiritual World, this wouldn't be necessary for ordinary breakthroughs, but for breakthroughs with special features that would allow cultivators to improve rapidly, they always needed to do some reconnaissance training.

That was not hard to understand. After all, if you improve too fast, you might lose the calibration of your strength and end up using much more or much less strength than you should in certain situations.

But a simple few hours of training could easily solve this problem, and soon after the group's training day, they met for a special purpose.

To discuss the group's departure from Kilburn!

...

It was evening in the Kilburn area, and by this time, Minos' group was gathered in an area near the local forests that surrounded the city.

There, they had a large fire going while everyone in the group was sitting on rocks or logs around it, some with cups in their hands, others with fruit and roasted meat.

They weren't just there to eat but to talk about something of the utmost importance to the group: their departure from Kilburn!

So the group's most important members were already talking about important things after they had just started this meeting.

Maximilian said. "Regarding the peculiarities of Zocarro I've tested, I've come to some conclusions about this place. The space here is more difficult to manipulate than in the Spiritual World. We might even be able to create wormholes here with a little effort, but traveling through them would be dangerous.

It also means that Spatial Kingdoms can hardly be created by mere Go... By mere Sovereigns. I don't rule out the possibility that there are special spaces here, but stronger cultivators would have to be behind those regions."

Minos agreed, having already noticed that it was indeed more difficult to manipulate space in this world. But that wasn't all he had noticed. "We have to consider that the passage of time here is different from that in the Spiritual World." He added to Maximilian's words. "I can't say exactly how much, but I find it easier to control time here than in our world."

"Couldn't that be because you're stronger?" A level 98 Gorgon asked.

Minos immediately denied it. "No. I can estimate how much I would be able to manipulate time if I were in the Spiritual World with the powers I have today. But I still can't justify how much I can currently manipulate time without taking into account a difference in the passage of time from here compared to our world."

Maximilian didn't doubt Minos' abilities and asked. "What is your impression? On which side does time pass more slowly?"

"I think time passes more quickly here than in the Spiritual World. I don't know the exact ratio, but I believe that for our companions in our world, little time has passed since we started our journey". Minos replied sincerely.

"If that's the case, then our chances of returning to the Spiritual World in time are much better than we thought before." One of the robots in the group said. "Even if it takes us longer than we'd like here, it might not be that long for the people on that planet."

After everyone understood these initial points, the group moved on to the next topics.

"I discovered that it is possible to advance from level 99 to level 100 in this world without the help of a Divine Medicine. However, such a cultivator would need to have a Golden-grade talent to achieve this feat. Anything less would require cultivation with a Divine Medicine." Someone informed the group.

"Some ants say that many beings from Zocarro can become stronger by devouring beings from other races. Not only that but this type of creature can also be considered a great nutrient for those in search of strength..."

"Zocarro has two large continents separated by an extremely dangerous sea. Our continent is rumored to be the weaker of the two, while the other is home to many Divine Journey beings. Unfortunately, the sea that separates these two continents is considered a disaster area.

Supposedly, even the Supremes have trouble traveling through this area and are not guaranteed to make it all the way from one side of the world to the other...".

Several people added important information about this world to the group, improving everyone's knowledge of various aspects of Zocarro.

"As difficult as it is to use wormholes in this world, I've heard that there are special places in the major cities that can be used to quickly reach other parts of the continent.

I've even heard there is a way to travel to another continent quickly. The problem is that there are many requirements to access such a method..."

"I heard a rumor about the situation of space explorers. According to a traveler I recently came in contact with, Zocarro has special paths that lead to a gigantic city on an artificial moon of this planet. From there, it is possible to find transportation to various parts of the solar system we are in and even to other parts of the galaxy."

When someone mentioned this, the whole group turned their attention to this level 99 individual.

"How did we get there?" Maximillian asked.

"That's the tricky part. There are only two ways to get to this artificial moon. One is to go to the largest city on the other continent. The other is to travel to an island in the far north of the continent we're in."

Geographically speaking, Minos' group was at the southern end of Oqia, the continent they were in.

It would take them at least 15 years to reach the far north!

Not only would it take a long time to get there, but it would also be difficult to get to such an island since that area was the only viable route to the other continent.

There, traveling to the other continent was extremely dangerous, but it was possible to travel to the other continent. Nowhere else in the world could people travel very far by sea before encountering all sorts of catastrophes.

The group had already learned the basics of the world map of this world and the continent they were on to know how far and dangerous it would be to reach such a place.

Everyone was silent for a moment until Minos tried to be positive. "Let's not be too negative about it. Traveling to such a place would take a few years, even if we don't stop to take care of other things on the way. That means we'll be very different from what we are now when we enter that dreaded sea.

So let's keep that possibility in mind and think about our departure from Kilburn to Examire first. It might not be such a problem for us to reach that island in the future."
