Another week passed after Elen Nash left the Black Plain, but nothing relevant happened meanwhile. Although this region needs many changes, there was no budget for this.

Due to this limitation, Minos’ plans were frozen. For example, he wanted to create his own spiritual academy for children in the city because he wanted to recruit students for the Black Plain Army, just as the Gill family did.

Even if the average talent in this area were low for now, it wouldn’t be like that after a few decades. So, in this way, he would be setting the foundations for a great future at this time.

This week, in addition to reaching level 13, Minos also passed a new technique classified in Silver to Dillian. It was a specialized healing technique, called Radiant Healing, with 6 phases, which used beams of light to heal wounds.

Depending on its stage, the user could range from healing non-lethal wounds in the first stage to saving lives, as long as the patient still had a breath, regardless of his condition.

However, due to the talent of Dillian, he could never achieve the realization of this technique. But as far as he could go, he would still be able to recover lost limbs from his patients.

Minos had not previously delivered this technique to Dillian, as he was still familiarizing himself with each technique of the inheritance. On the other hand, the butler was still adjusting to the new technique he had received a few weeks ago.

That’s because cultivators who change techniques need time to adapt to each new technique, one at a time, until they’re ready to learn others.

Minos also asked the butler Dillian to pass on the Black-grade that they have techniques to the 30 guards in the Dry City. In fact, he would leave techniques of this degree to all future members of the Black Plain Army in the library of the future headquarters.

But for now, they could only pass it along to the guards. As for Minos’ 10 personal guards, they had already started training these techniques.

…

At the entrance to the Dry City, two young women were walking on a sizeable spiritual beast that looked like a tiger. One of them had black hair, a cute face, and sensual curves. The other one, who didn’t look much older, had brown hair and a beautiful body that someone would see in some mature women.

Anyway, both were wearing robes with the same pattern, making them look like members of the same family or sect.

As they walked towards the central part of the city, the two women were talking when the young woman with black hair spoke. “I never thought that there would be a place as poor in spiritual energy as this. Master, I’m sorry to ask, but did the young Minos lose his mind? Perhaps after recovering, he had not been able to think clearly.”

“Don’t think about this bullshit, Ruth. He must have come here because it was the only place he thought he could go.” Said the older woman.

After a while, they finally stopped in front of the only mansion in the city, that despite its size, looked as good as any decent place in this town.

“Let’s go in and see if we can talk to him.” Said the brown-haired woman as she entered the mansion.

…

“Hi, my name is Mia. What can I help you with?” Mia came to them as soon as she saw these strange people entering this place.

“Hmm, tell Minos that his mother is here to see him.”

“His mother…” Mia said in shock.

Although it was not so strange for a mother to appear like this, she would never think that this woman, who appeared to be younger than she, was the mother of Minos!

“Ah! Okay, I’ll let him know.” She said after recovering from the shock as she headed for Minos’ office.

At the time, Minos, Dillian, and Pyke were in the office talking about matters relating to the safety of the Dry City when Mia hurried through the door.

“Young master, a young woman, is here to see you. She says that she is your mo…” But before she could finish, the two women entered through the door of the room.

When Minos and Dillian saw this, they soon recognized the brown-haired woman. This was Minos’ mother, Maisie Coleman, who was at level 65, Spiritual Emperor!

As for the other young woman, neither of them knew her, but Dillian noticed her level. She was at level 43.

Dillian then broke the momentary silence and said. “Mrs. Maisie is good to see you again.”

“Oh! It’s good to see you too, butler Dillian.”

“What are you doing here?” Minos then asked coldly.

In fact, he was not happy to have to receive his mother. After all, she never paid attention or acted as a mother to him when he needed to, so why should he have respect for her?

Upon hearing this, the young woman with black hair then replied angrily. “How can you talk to your mother like this? Do you know how far she came just for you?”

“I don’t know since I don’t know anything about her either. But she might as well have stayed there.” Minos replied sarcastically.

Minos’ mother then intervened. “Ruth, don’t say anything. He has his reasons for saying that. You shouldn’t blame him.”

“Minos, my son, today I came to look for you. I intend to take you to the Gray Cloud Sect.” She then looked at Minos for a moment as she saw how tall he had become since the last time she saw him.

“Even if you only have a Black talent, it is better to become an external elder of the sect than to be in this backward place.” She spoke with a sincere look on her face.

After hearing what Maisie said, everyone in the room, except Ruth, had reactions against this idea.

Pyke and Mia, who were pleased with the current way things were developing for the Black Plain, suddenly heard something that made them sweat coldly.

After all, even if the ‘cure’ of the Black Plain was definitive, they didn’t know that, Minos was still a great ruler. He wanted to develop the region, admitted when he didn’t know something, and made intelligent decisions. Thus, they did not want to lose such a leader.

Meanwhile, Dillian was also opposed. He had already adopted the idea of ​​developing the Black Plain slowly, and he was sure that Minos would achieve that. Furthermore, with the Spatial Kingdom, Minos did not need to go to the Gray Cloud Sect, where he would only encounter many obstacles in his path.

It would be stupid to do that!!

As for Minos, on the other hand, he only saw one person he had no respect for, asking him to give up his goals. After all, in the Gray Cloud Sect, he would be restricted by the system, he would have a difficult time, and even when he reached the top, it would be by a random force that he has no goodwill.

As for the Black Plain, despite not being his original home, it is a place that he would develop from the beginning, something entirely of his own. So, he already had special care for these lands.

After a while of silence, Minos started to laugh. “Hahahaha, I don’t need your good intentions. I’m just fine where I am. Maybe you’re the one who needs to come and ask for my help in the future.”

As soon as he said that, Minos left the office without waiting for an answer and was quickly out of sight. He had gone to the Spatial Kingdom to cool his head.

Meanwhile, Ruth was thinking in her head. ‘What an ungrateful bastard. But from the things he said, then he can only be a lunatic to think that we would need him.’

“Sigh… I’m sorry about that, Mrs. Maisie, but the young master is doing well. This is the truth, I know you are concerned about his future, but the young master will be fine.” Dillian said with an apologetic smile on his face.

“Okay, Dillian, I already expected him to refuse. But I still wanted to try, at least in the sect, I could protect him.”

“I understand, but maybe the young master doesn’t need to be protected in the end…” Dillian said while he was holding his arms behind his back.

“And why do you say that?” Minos’ mother asked with curiosity.

“Didn’t you feel the young master’s level?”

Maisie then spoke without thinking. “He must have been at level 13…” When she finally remembered. “That’s right, but he woke up from his unconscious state just one month ago…”

And when she heard that, Ruth jumped back and thought. ‘How is this possible? I, with my Silver talent, took three months to reach the same level…’

Maisie then said before leaving Minos’ office. “I will be here in the Dry City for two days. Tell my son this.”

After leaving, Maisie and Ruth went to the Four Seasons Hotel, where they would stay.

Ruth then asked when they were halfway to the hotel. “Master, why don’t we go back? I believe that he will not change his mind.”

“I know that, but I want to look at his situation before we leave.”

“Even if he doesn’t change his mind, I want you to return here in a year and a half. I want you to check his strength at that time, and if he can maintain this good speed in cultivation, then I want you to take him to the competition that will take place in 18 months in the Cromwell Kingdom.”

“That way, he will be able to understand the difference between heaven and earth. Even if he has a good cultivation speed, it doesn’t mean that he will be the strongest. Only by fighting those of the same generation will he understand me and change his mind.” She said confidently.

“Hmm, but what if he refuses?” 

“I don’t think he will refuse, considering how much he looks like his father and the fact that he wants to earn his things with his efforts. So, you shouldn’t have to worry about this.”

After that, the two of them settled in the hotel to spend the next two days.
