<h4>Chapter 2227 The Group''s New Strength</h4>


    After more than a year in the miraculous cave, Maximilian opened his eyes and felt his cultivation base at a new level!


    When he reached level 101, he felt his level 100 strength increase by more than twice the energy of a level 99 Demigod.


    That was impressive!


    Most Demigods needed at least a few millennia to reach level 99. But after Maximilian arrived in Zocarro, he only needed about 3 years to cultivate more than twice as much as a level 99 Spiritual World Demigod would normally cultivate in a few millennia!


    Considering that he was already a Sovereign, someone whose strength was ridiculously greater than that of level 99 Demigods, this was an important addition for him to differentiate himself in this world!


    He smiled in satisfaction, immediately feeling less doubt about his previous thoughts of staying in Zocarro longer or even never returning to the Spiritual World.


    ''Now, I''m the strongest Spiritualual World native in history!'' He vibrated with happiness while he couldn''t help but remember his old rival, Maximus.


    ''Tsk! You died in the Spiritual World, old man. But I''m going to live apletely different story!'' He got up from where he had spent all his time cultivating.


    Just as he was about to leave this area and return to the rest of his group, he felt the auras of four new Gods, or rather, the auras of four new Sovereigns in the group.


    "It seems that Minos has seeded in his ns." He smiled as he reached where half of the group was meditating, waiting for him.


    When he arrived there, he met two human Gods, one from Sista and the other from the Western Empire.


    The strongest Demigods in Minos'' group, when they left the Spiritual World, were obviously not all members of the ck in Army.


    There were a few such individuals, especially spiritual professionals, some of whom had died, but there weren''t many of them. In this crew, several of Minos'' allies man had been given to him by his greatest associates, such as Henry Quinn and Willow Sista.


    There was also a level 97 Dragon and a Phoenix in this group when they left the Spiritual World, one of which was currently at level 99, and the other had reached level 100 a few days ago.


    "Congrattions on your progress..." Maximilianmented to the two new Sovereigns in front of him before spotting Minos standing nearby.


    "We''ve made good progress... This ce has done us a lot of good." Maximilian said as he looked at Minos.


    "Hmm, the group''s average level is now between the levels 98 and 99. Thanks to this ce, we''ll get to Examire with more favorable conditions for us." Minos agreed before shaking Maximillian''s hand and congratting him on his progress.


    "You are not far from level 95. Even if you haven''t advanced in this time, you''ll probably advance as soon as we reach Examire, right?" Maximillian asked as he scanned the cultivation base of the brown-haired man in front of him.


    "That must be the case." Minos smiled in agreement.


    "Well, when do we leave this ce? Is there anything else we can do here?" Maximillian asked as the surrounding people turned their attention to them.


    If they stayed there, they could profit from this area for a longer time. But their ns, after the advances of the four Demigods who were now Sovereigns, were to leave for Examire as soon as Maximillian had finished his seclusion.


    "We will leave as soon as the meditating group has finished their cultivation session," Minos replied. "That will give us about three or four hours. Then we should leave within that time."


    Maximillian didn''t see any problem, and soon, all those who weren''t meditating began preparing to leave while the strongest ones in the area talked among themselves about what they would do next.


    ...


    Hourster, Minos'' group left the grotto of miracles for the first time in over a year, the group disarming all the arrays outside the cave before returning to the road.


    As Minos had said months ago, the particr fluctuation that had drawn them there would not attract anyone else''s attention after Maximillian''s action to begin absorbing the resource that had caused such a phenomenon. As such, no one but them hade there, and their defensive actions in the area were enough to prevent any beings from identally arriving there.


    There was no trouble in the area when they left, and soon they were back on the roads of that region, heading for Examire more than a year behind their original ns.


    Fortunately, the group had no deadlines to meet, only the need to strengthen themselves.


    They wanted to find ways to learn more about this world to know how to return to their mission concerning the war in the Spiritual World, but for that, they had to be stronger, which they had done during that time.


    So when they returned to the road, none of them felt that they had wasted their time or were toote.


    Besides, they were only a few months away from Examire, so they would soon reach the city Strin had rmended for them to get a better understanding of this vast world.


    Time would begin to pass quicker for them, and they would soon approach their destination without dealing with too many problems along the way.


    Demigods were already beings with above-average powers in Zocarro. But with 5 Sovereigns in the group, one of whom was at level 101, the amount of problems that could arise for the group was far less than it would have been if they had ignored the previous cave.


    Therefore, they wouldn''t have any battles to test their strength until they were very close to their destination city.


    When they were about toplete 4 years since their arrival in Zocarro, they would finally reach Examire, one of the most space explorer-friendly cities on the Oqia continent!


    Just before reaching this city, the party stopped at a ce where they could see the silhouette of this huge international city so that Ruth could meditate on her advancement to level 94.


    Shortly after consolidating her power at the same level as her husband for the first time in a long time, the group woulde across the deepest contact they had ever had with stronger Sovereigns!


    ...


    While Minos'' group was in the area where Ruth had just finished advancing, four alien beings approached where they stood.


    Among them was a level 106 creature!
