The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2687 Seclusion in the Middle of the Violent Sea

Six months had passed and the entire crew had adapted to the conditions on Wenni’s secret pirate island.

Minos explored every inch of the island without putting himself in danger, marking out the areas that his companions could access and delimiting the limits they could safely go. Soon his group had begun to explore the area’s opportunities, meditating in special areas of the island’s underground, but also using the area’s special resources.

Amid this, Minos also unearthed each of the over 50 locations where Walkas’ treasures were hidden, coming up with an impressive collection of materials, plants, crystals, coins, absorbable weapons, armor, common weapons, maps, books, pills, techniques and potions.

Most of the resources in the cultivation world did not lose their characteristics over time. They could be produced and abandoned in a bunker for tens of thousands of years and still keep their qualities.

Hell, sometimes with special pills, potions, fruits and roots, there was the possibility that, with the passage of time, the resource would even gain more energy and become better!

Everything Minos had found on this island could be used by his group. And during the six months that have passed up to the present moment, his people have been taking advantage of these opportunities!

…

While more than half of his crew were in seclusion on different parts of the island, Minos was at the top of the tallest tree on the island, observing his surroundings.

Nothing he had collected over the last few months had much appeal for him. In fact, those resources were excellent for his companions, but not so much for him, who had now become even more demanding.

With two parts of the body of a True Celestial himself, Minos wouldn’t be able to strengthen himself with just any resources. Even though he was ‘only’ a level 113 Sovereign, he could now only be affected by Celestial grade resources.

He had tried to consume a Supreme grade fruit over the last few months, but had wasted such a resource. His body rejected the opportunity entirely, making him bitterly aware of his current situation.

Fortunately, he could still cultivate and over his last few months, he had the chance to improve the equivalent of a year and a half of cultivation, given his temporal powers. But that was nothing compared to Minos’ current situation. For him to advance to level 114, he felt he would need the equivalent of 300 years of cultivation in seclusion!

But he was in no hurry. While maintaining his position, he had a smile on his lips, satisfied with his group’s progress.

‘Soon another General will wake up and advance to level 115.’ He thought as he felt the spiritual fluctuation of one newly advanced and thought of the other, who was in seclusion at the moment.

Over the last few months, one level 114 individual had advanced to level 115, while three Sovereigns had advanced from level 113 to level 114.

More importantly for Minos, Abby had already made a breakthrough in those months, reaching level 111 by taking advantage of one of the island’s opportunities, the same level as Ruth, for the first time in decades! Gloria was in seclusion alongside Ruth, both seeking improvement, also with good prospects. Even if they didn’t advance during their time on the pirate island, Minos was sure that they could advance once they arrived in Uzira.

But as encouraging as the strengthening of his crew was, the most important thing was the strengthening of himself and Abby. The next time they went to talk to Wenni and Walkas, they could combine their powers and help those two corpses to improve their vitality a little more and maybe even raise their powers a little!

Minos hadn’t summoned those two Supreme corpses on any occasion over the last few months. With the Nautilus’ Compass working very well, he was in control of everything.

Then, during his contemplation of his group’s situation, Minos sensed something and looked toward a cave to the south of where he was standing.

Feeling the aura of one of the giants in his group, he once again thanked his luck for finding Walkas’ pirate ship. ‘Who knew I’d get a place with cultivation resources even for Supremes?’

Even Armhands had resources capable of strengthening Supremes. The guild didn’t normally use them on newly promoted cultivators, but among the strongest experts, to help them reach higher levels. But these resources would have stronger effects on individuals at level 115. ƒreewebɳovel.com

By accessing the opportunities on this island, opportunities brought about by an old pirate group that had several Supremes in its ranks, the group of 4 original Supremes in this crew were making good use of their chances.

Minos then put his hands together and used his powers, looking into the future of his group.

‘We’ll stay on this island for another year. By then, everyone will have finished taking advantage of their opportunities.’ He planned as he sensed what the next 12 months would be like.

…

A few more months would pass and soon two more Supremes would appear in Minos’ group, but also Sovereigns even stronger than before.

Through the absorbable weapons and special resources they had got during this period, progress came easy for many members of the crew.

Of the four Supremes in the group on this trip when they began the sea journey, two of them advanced in level, reaching level 116, the same level as Tiolos. This Oqia native didn’t reach level 117, but he improved a lot during his time in seclusion.

Meanwhile, Gloria advanced to level 111, reaching the same level as Ruth and Abby. But the strongest of Minos’ women failed to reach level 112. With 15 months on the island, Minos and Abby teamed up to raise the characteristics of the two corpses a little more, achieving a 25% improvement in their strength and vitality.

This was enough to make up for all the time they had spent talking and planning up to that point, but it wasn’t enough for the corpses to advance. Wenni was still at level 116, while Walkas was at level 117.

So, in the 17th month on the pirate island, Minos felt bad omens and went ahead with the last half of the journey to Uzira!

Leaving the island one evening, they hurried away from the place about to be discovered!
