The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2419  Kendrick's Plan

A week after reaching level 8 of the pyramid, Minos was pleased to see that his alien ally had awoken from her coma.

"You…." She suddenly stood up and let out a scream, looking around to try to recognize where she was.

Every cultivation area in the pyramid was basically the same, but she soon noticed that this wasn't level 7. The energy and laws were much denser here compared to level 7.

When she looked over and saw Minos cultivating, she realized he had succeeded and fulfilled their agreement. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Even though she'd lost a few days unconscious, she couldn't help but smile, feeling the differences from this level to the previous one.

Each level of the pyramid differed greatly from the previous one. It was tough going, but once you got to the next level, you could spend a few weeks there and get all the knowledge and power you needed to make it up and down the steps to the next level.

After just a few weeks, you could start preparing to climb to the next level, which would really test your skills.

Even if she had to work hard to get there and lost a few days, in a few days she would be way ahead of where she would be if she stayed at level 7 for years.

But before she could start cultivating, Minos opened his eyes and said to her. "I'll help you get to level 9 if, and only if, you let me use your cultivation so that I can try to go to level 10 two months before our time in this dimension is up.

I'm afraid I can't take you with me, as that would be too costly, which would prevent either of us from reaching level 10."

She looked at Minos, unsure of what to do. She didn't know if she should keep her agreement with him or back out. If he only stayed at level 10 for two months, he'd be well ahead of her. However, she knew she wouldn't make it to level 9 without Minos' help. And he should be able to reach level 9 without her help.

'Reaching level 10 is going to be tough for him. He'll probably fail.'

That was the logical conclusion to be drawn in the circumstances.

"All right, I accept your terms. If you take me to level 9, I'll let you use my powers two months before the Millennium Massacre ends." She looked him in the eye, her expression serious, knowing that this was a big decision for her future with the inheritance.

"By the way, my name is Soli."

"Nice to meet you, Soli. My name's Minos." He nodded at her with a mysterious smile on his face.

They both looked at each other for a moment, thinking basically the same thing.

'She'll be a tough competitor for me the next time we meet.' Minos thought to himself.

'Even if he doesn't reach level 10, he'll be a problem in the next inheritance phase. He'll definitely get more out of the pyramid than I will.' Soli thought about the future, not knowing what to expect.

Fortunately, there was still a long way to go for both of them. Reaching level 115 would be tough, even in Zocarro or other high-level worlds. On top of that, they'll get a new divine ability in the next inheritance phase, which could really change things in terms of the Millennium Massacre.

With this in mind, the two closed their eyes and focused on themselves, continuing the slow and laborious work to strengthen their spiritual foundations.

...

Meanwhile, in The Enchanted Realm, two years had passed since the news broke that the six Sovereigns from Kendrick's team had been taken to The Blossom World.

That was enough time for the investigators from the group's sect on that world to figure out that Abby and the others had, in fact, been taken to the main planet of the enemy civilization in the war of worlds that was going on in the galaxy at the time.

Since there wasn't much they could do about the situation of the women of Minos and the three allies at their side, Kendrick's sect had to avoid the worst.

Kendrick was stuck in the Banished Crossfire headquarters, his cultivation was sealed, and he couldn't leave his property in the headquarters.

His group of allies from the Spiritual World were basically in the same situation as him, even though they could move around the sect's headquarters freely.

Since the sect couldn't do anything about its enemies, the only option was to arrest Kendrick and stop him from making a dangerous move.

However, not everyone in the sect was happy about the idea of him not being able to continue cultivating.

...

At Kendrick's place, his squire was always around, following him everywhere, even though her young master was in confinement.

He was strolling around his estate, taking in the gorgeous natural scenery of his garden, the only thing he had to do these days.

"Grisdi, why do you keep following me around? I don't think there's any need for you to be by my side every day in my current situation." Kendrick said sullenly as he looked at the woman a few steps behind him.

"Despite everything, young master, you're a valuable sect resource. I hope the elders change their minds and let you go back to cultivating. I agree that acting rashly will be a mistake, but your cultivation shouldn't be restricted."

"The sect leader doesn't agree." He muttered as he sat down on a stone bench, his fingers clenched, eager to leave his current situation.

"The rest of the group is trying to persuade the sect elders to change their minds. Maybe they can change the sect leader's decision so you can at least get back to cultivating."

'If that happens, I'll go to The Blossom World without a second thought.' Kendrick thought to himself. 'I could quickly leave my current world to reach my mother!

Time passes differently in The Blossom World, so it's only been about a year since my mother was kidnapped. But I can't wait too long. As soon as I get the chance, I'll try to rescue her!'
