The Rise of the Black Plain



After some time since leaving Dry City, Minos, and his women arrived in the City of the Setting Sun, the main city of the Brown area.

In this place where the local assembly was, but which was also where the spiritual root of this area was closest, Minos and his women appeared about this place, drawing the attention of the local observers.

The first to notice something was the members of the Black Plain Army stationed in that city to maintain local security. But soon, the Spiritual Emperors of the local forces noticed the sovereign's arrival and moved to welcome him.

"Your Majesty, welcome back to the City of the Setting Sun!" A group of Brown family guards said loudly while making gestures appropriate for the situation.

"Hmm, this place looks like it has been well taken care of over the years... Your family hasn't done a bad job of managing this area for me." Minos commented as he looked at the surroundings and saw streets and buildings of similar quality to those in Dry City.

Of course, there were differences, but they were mainly in the strength of the population and consequent 'luster' that such a place had less than the empire's capital. But even so, this city differed greatly from the one he had left decades ago when he was only 15 years old.

In some ways, the central city in the Brown area now looked more like the Dry City of 20 years ago than the place Minos had left behind when he had just begun his cultivation journey.

Ruth and Isabella paid attention to these details and nodded their heads, seeing that Minos' development had also already affected places outside the area affected by the Dry City spiritual root.

Many corpses of enemies had been buried around the Black Plain Empire over the past decades. Because of this, the entire empire could be considered of better quality than the old northern region, with more areas with a good density of spiritual energy and laws.

But compared to the core of the empire, the other areas, except for Vogel, still paled in comparison to the region where Dry City was located.

"We have much to improve, Your Majesty." The main guard of that group said this, smiling as he showed the way to Minos. "Your Majesty wishes to see Their Excellencies Raynard and Diana?"

Minos nodded, feeling that it did him good to let those who administered that area for him know what he would do there.

Raynard was the son of King Brown, the first major enemy Minos had faced on his journey. As for Diana, this was his older sister, who had left the sect she belonged to in the Flaming Empire to return to her family.

Currently, she was at level 66, while her brother was at level 63, both having advanced quite a bit despite their less impressive talents and resources than those of Minos and his people.

Both still remembered how Minos had ended their father's life and ended the long history of the Brown Kingdom. But nowadays, both of them no longer harbored any resentment, for Minos belonged to a level they could not even dream of.

It was also because of him that they had come so far in cultivation and still had room for growth. So even though they still remembered that he had once been an enemy, they had both come to terms with it and no longer wished for revenge.

Time had passed, and life had moved on. Diana had married a new subordinate of her family after the creation of the local assembly, and Raynard had even gained his first child.

King Brown's widow had not married another person, but after years since his death, she had gained a new light with the birth of her first grandchild.

Due to the recent history of the Brown family, when Minos, Ruth, and Isabella came to them, none showed resentment in their eyes and expressions.

"Your Majesties, Your Highness..." They prostrated to Minos, Ruth, and Isabella, eager to know what this rare occasion was all about.

Minos rarely visited their domains since becoming a Spiritual Saint.

Usually, the ones who did this sort of thing were his most trusted imperial guards, high-ranking soldiers, and, most recently, Sarah.

So seeing him there after more than seven years without seeing this impressive fellow, everyone there was curious about the reason for this visit.

Minos smiled and got straight to the point. "Members of the Brown family, I am here to give you a gift today. 

As the first area I developed after my state's expansion, I will bury a corpse of a Spiritual Sage near the local spiritual root today.

With this corpse, the spiritual energy density of this area should rise a bit in a few years and facilitate the cultivation of Spiritual Emperors.

After these years, I hope that Spiritual Kings will be able to advance their stage even without leaving this area of Brown and be able to reach level 69 without any problems living here."

With these beautiful words from Minos, each of the members of this family showed smiles on their faces, feeling that such a thing would help them greatly.

"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous!" Diana thanked him in front of everyone, feeling this would help her immensely, something perfect for her family.

"Thank you for choosing us, Your Majesty!"

After some thanks and swearing from those people, Minos said. "If anyone here would like to observe, please accompany me. I will bury that body to the south of the city."

They left the local government center right after that, while some nobles from that area of Brown, members of the assembly, followed them at a distance.

The Brown area was like many others around the empire. The only Saints were men directly subordinate to Minos, members of his army, government, the faction of the Church, or the Gray Clouds Sect. 

No nobles native to the northern region from outside the central part of the empire had reached the 8th stage.

As such, only low and mid-level Spiritual Emperors followed Minos' movements in this city, accompanying him and his women digging and burying the body of a gigantic beast.

Some would shiver just to see the corpse of such a strong creature, noting the combat proficiency that Minos had reached.

Such was the case with Misty, the former wife of a victim of Minos, who had gone from hating him to worshiping and even submitting to him, even though having married the leader of the Snow region.

Misty was currently at level 64, but still, she couldn't help but shudder at feeling the power of that corpse.

Gulp!

'Minos fought such a strong creature?' She wondered as she felt a little excited, missing the last time she had been intimate with the emperor...
