Chapter 2739 Back to Uzira


    Time passed hastily for Minos and hispetitors on the 78th floor.


    Given the spatial distortion of the rooms, the one year said by the True Celestial flew by for them, making them feel as if only a few hours had passed.


    But the whole tower challenge had gone quickly for the majority who reached the end of this inheritance phase. As many as 78 years had passed, most of them hadn''t experienced even 2 months around this dimension.


    Minos knew that at least a few years had passed for hispanions in Uzira. When his time in the room he had entered earlier ended, he didn''t have to leave the ce. Sensing something simr to what had happened previously, he closed his eyes and prepared to go in search of his group.


    The spatial distortion in front of him grew rapidly and soon his body was flying through space, crossing towards Uzira, in particr, the same ce he had left from earlier.


    However, there was one minor problem that Minos hadn''t thought he would have to deal with on his return. The ce he was taken to was not the spatial distortion where his group had previously entered, but the ce where the spatial distortion had been created by the woman behind the level 124 soul fragment!


    ...


    Minos came across the ruins of a mountainous area, surrounded by vast cknds that stretched as far as the eye could see.


    The ce had extremely powerful spiritual energy, at least twice as strong as that of Uzira''s entrance area.


    There was nothing useful there to help Minos identify where he was. When the spatial crack that had expelled him from the True Celestial dimension closed, he couldn''t help but stop and observe the ce for a few moments.


    "This ce? Where am I?" he asked himself, without any clue.


    The previous soul fragment had passed on her geographical memories from Uzira to Abby, so Minos only knew the technique she had left him and that he should look for traces of Odibrand Redwound.


    ''Judging by the natural essence of the area, this must be further west of Uzira,'' Minos pondered as he crouched down and touched the ck earth beneath him.


    After a few moments of trying unsessfully to figure out where he was, he put this aside to get a better understanding of his post-inheritance situation.


    His cultivation was in the middle of level 118, while his Physique was at least 93% progressed to Absolute grade.


    His new abilities were all working very well and the restrictions of the True Celestial, which had diminished the efficiency of the Nautilus'' Compass and his prophetic abilities.


    Minos sensed his surroundings like an omniscient being again, as he gradually felt his destiny.


    ''Level 118... I should be able to fight even high-level Supremes.'' He smiled to himself, feeling his vitality so high that he could live a few hundred thousand years and fight anyone he had ever met before.


    Minos honestly couldn''t say what his fight against the Sea Serpent would be like, but now he wouldn''t run away the way he had done before. At the very least, he would now exchange blows with the man and not do so badly.


    On the other hand, improving beyond his level would cost him many years of effort!


    ''I''ll have to cultivate for the equivalent of 6,000 years to advance to level 119... It''s not for nothing that Supremes take so long to advance in level.


    But that makes sense. Even though I''m at level 118, my cultivation base is like that of someone at level 121. And my advancement to level 119 would give me a cultivation base of level 123!'' Without the use of resources and the possibility of cultivating in ces with a different passage of time, others in his situation would certainly need to cultivate for a few tens of millennia to advance from the equivalent of level 121 to level 123. But Minos could advance hastily!


    The only problem was that until he entered the Upper Realm, he would have to reach level 125, which didn''t seem far away, given that there were only 7 advances to go. But each advance could take longer than it took him to reach his current cultivation in his entire journey!


    ''The next few years will be very dangerous.'' He concluded as he remembered the blind man and the sentient nt.


    Those two were the most dangerous in the short term, but besides them, there were seven others who might want to venture against him.


    Thinking of them, Minos remembered Forfex, wondering what had happened to the man and whether he was dead.


    He picked up his oldpanion''s device and saw what he had inherited.


    When he opened that item, Minos couldn''t help but open his eyes in surprise and smile as he remembered Forfex''sst words. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "That fellow... He''s really amassed quite a wealth!"


    There weren''t just cultivation resources for low-level and mid-level Supremes in Forfex''s storage item. There were also detailed maps of the universe with the positions of each of his opponents in the True Celestial inheritance, including the blind man and the sentient nt. Given Minos'' own position, he had no doubt that Forfex had found a method to circumvent hispetitors and surprise them before thest stage of the inheritance.


    Too bad for Forfex, he had fallen before he could make use of what he had developed.


    But as well as possibly locating his rivals, Forfex was also studying a method of how to remove parts of a True Celestial''s body from living beings without killing them. And, from what the man had recorded, he hade very close to sess!


    ''That''s interesting. I''ll see if I can develop it in some guinea pigs in the future.'' Minos pondered the implications and not only how this could be a way of escaping inheritance, but also of learning more about how to remove important essences from living bodies.


    If he could finish developing Forfex''s research, he might eventually know how to separate absorbable weapons from bodies withoutpromising the living being and even deal with curses and difficult things to deal with that he had heard.


    No amount of extra knowledge was a bad thing and Minos naturally appreciated the great gift Forfex had left him.


    In addition to the many resources and information, Forfex left Minos a message.


    {I guess I died, or you killed me, Minos, one of two things. Sigh! What a defeat. You should know that I''ve tried to escape from this since the first time we met, but fate caught up with me in the end. Anyway, I''m here merely to ask you a favor. If you really are Minos and not one of my other enemies, I ask you to go to my world and give my wife whatever is not essential to you from what is in my storage item. In payment for this, I will give you a tip on how to help your women enter the Upper Realm with you! I left a fragment of my soul in my home world. Find it there and you''ll receive the information after youplete this mission. You''ll know everything then.}
