The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2599

After his promotion to General, Minos had another five quiet months at Armhands headquarters.

During these months, he continued his previous activity of producing Supreme corpses alongside Abby, and produced three new level 115 corpses.

But what they really focused on during this time was cultivating and building the group of internal and external guild members under Minos' command.

Minos was not slow to take on his responsibilities. After only five months as General, he already had 200 guild member names under his command—only 50 of which were his fellow faction members.

With the resources of Armhands at his disposal, he created a series of missions, opportunities, and mechanisms within the guild to encourage members of the force to join the expansionist group.

While he was doing this to attract the aliens from Armhands, he was also using his new abilities to put these new individuals under his command to investigate everything there was to investigate about the Violent Sea and Uzira for the people of Oqia.

Resources, dangers, the average power, states, ancient powers, legends and myths, in short, everything that could be related to Uzira and the Violent Sea was to be researched by the group.

The speed with which Minos built the Expansion Hall frightened some members of the guild. But since he had much merit and respect from the Generals and Elders, his plans proceeded smoothly over those few months.

Meanwhile, his family members continued to prepare for the future, avoiding going out and getting involved in the war while they cultivated and waited for the family tournament Minos had promised.

The three years he had promised had already passed, but the family still hadn't moved for the three-fight competition Minos had planned.

Two weeks ago, he had finally felt it was time to move up a level, having begun his progress in seclusion.

Now, he was alone in the family's cave, cultivating with various artifacts in his surroundings to put more pressure on his advancement not only in level but also in his Physique quality!

...

In front of the Stuart family cave, two giants, Wovar and Clexvog, both at level 113, guarded the place where General Minos Stuart was.

If you entered the cave, you would find Minos in a pool of liquid, with his upper body burning in blue flames.

Minos was completely naked, in a lotus position, with his long white hair, silver and gold wings, on fire but unharmed.

Minos' extremely pure fire burned only his weak points, refining his body as he cultivated, absorbing the abundant energy available.

Twelve formations all around this icy cave sucked in the energy and laws above this mountainous area, directing all this precious essence to Minos.

Because of his action, over 50 caves around this place were currently blocked, without enough energy and laws for their users to cultivate in them.

Meanwhile, Minos had his attention on himself. He felt his body on the verge of a critical change, seeing an image of himself made of glass, completely shattered, on the verge of giving birth to something completely new.

His soul inflated, threatening to reach level 110, while his wings trembled on his back, much of the energy of the environment entering him through these six beautiful structures of his body.

Minos felt his heart beat differently, and a smile appeared on his face. 'It is time.' He felt his clairvoyance giving him good images of the future.

Then, with a clench of his fists, he took the last step, surpassing the cultivation of a level 109 Sovereign and finally reaching level 110!

However, as his cultivation progressed, he didn't slow down his absorption of energy and laws. His soul continued to expand, and most importantly, his body continued to swell.

His veins bulged out, and his skin became thinner than ever, reaching a level that was certainly unhealthy.

But that didn't last long. While Minos kept the smile on his lips, not showing the painful sensation of feeling a part of himself being improved and rebuilt with nothing to anesthetize the pain of the process, he enjoyed the feeling of the evolution of his physique!

'Centuries ago, my dream was to reach the Divine grade of my Physique. Who would have thought that I would surpass even the highest quality of Physique for the Spiritual World?' He thought to himself as he remembered the journey so far, from the time his father died and his Physique transformed, dropping to the Mortal grade, but allowing him to improve to the Divine one.

Over 800 years of cultivation—from his point of view—after reaching the Divine grade, Minos began the qualitative transformation to the Celestial grade!

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation base, which had been 80% stronger than that of beings without his innate ability and at the same level as him, advanced and passed the 100% mark in a single instant.

The energy in the area entered his body uncontrollably, causing even the giants outside the cave to look in his direction, disbelieving the sudden change.

But not only those giants felt it. The guild leader himself, who was standing guard at the Council, opened his eyes from where he was meditating. He looked in Minos' direction and felt the energy of the entire headquarters being sucked in by that Sovereign for a second.

'Oh? Celestial grade? That's really unusual.' This individual stood up, curious to see the end of Minos' transformation.

As he moved, Navey, who had returned to the guild in the past few months, also moved, not expecting Minos to perform such a feat today.

At the same time, as several of the guild's bigwigs turned their attention to him, Minos felt his powers evolve to form new traits and raise the quality of his previous ones even higher!

When his cultivation base stabilized at 160% of the normal cultivation base of level 110 beings, he felt the changes in his body stop and opened his eyes.

When he stood up, he didn't hesitate to use his new abilities by summoning one of his and Abby's corpses and stealing the cultivation of a level 114 being.

As he felt his cultivation peak at level 114 and the corpse's strength drop to level 112, Minos grinned from ear to ear, feeling the evolution of his most important attribute!
