“Spiritual Demigods?” Abby and Ruth exclaimed at the same time.

They didn’t know so much about the Flowers Kingdom as to imagine that several such strong experts would surround Minos for the sake of a challenge.

They would never have agreed to the idea of him trying to rescue Harold or even Oswald if they had known.

Both these men had lived long enough and were free to make their own decisions. But on the other hand, Minos was a young man with a lot ahead of him and did not have to sacrifice himself for people like those two.

Thinking about that situation, the two became somewhat regretful.

As for Gloria, she didn’t imagine that demigods would surround Minos, but something like that wasn’t out of the question.

The women of the Flowers Kingdom were quite decisive about what they wanted. So with the arrival of someone with such good genes, it was unsurprising that they were acting this way.

“And how long are we talking about?” Gloria asked him.

“I don’t know.” He said, looking at those bones. “I want to try something new. If it works out, maybe I can cut down a little on time needed.”

“Are you going to use them somehow? But you’ve never done anything like this before.” Ruth said, a little worried.

But he said. “I feel my connection with them increasing since I went through my last qualitative evolution… But I never spent much time trying to connect with these things because I lacked time.

Well, now I have enough time to cultivate and try to understand something new.”

He left Sarah with his wives and jumped toward the second skeleton in the Spatial Kingdom, the one he had most recently gotten.

He stopped on top of what was supposed to be the skull of that creature and then immediately sat down in a lotus position.

As he did so, Minos circled his cultivation technique to begin cultivating. But amid his usual breathing routine, he activated his innate ability, trying to steal the thing’s cultivation levels.

In doing so, he felt like an ant trying to lift an elephant, but he could feel those bones full of power reacting to him, giving off signals of their connection to him.

‘I don’t know where this will lead me, but I hope it gives results!’ He closed his eyes, intending to cultivate for a few months until he took a break to train his combat techniques.

Meanwhile, Sarah saw her father starting to train seriously and felt she could not weaken. “I won’t stand still!” She said as she sat down near those bones and began cultivating the same technique as her father.

The three women of Minos saw this and couldn’t help but smile at her attitude before they themselves turned their attention to their own needs.

Abby and Ruth were still at level 70, while Gloria had advanced only a few months ago, so she was far from a breakthrough.

But still, all three of them could cultivate and achieve advancement together with their husband since he seemed to be searching for something that would not come fast enough for any of them not to advance in this seclusion.

Thinking of strengthening themselves so they could help him somehow, even the pregnant Abby, who could still cultivate to level 72 before stopping to wait for Minos’ child, quickly went to cultivate as well.

Unlike Sarah, who could only endure a few hours of continuous cultivation, they could cultivate for months at a time!

The other individuals in the Spatial Kingdom watched Minos’ arrival with concern, knowing he shouldn’t be around so soon.

But not only that, he didn’t seem at all happy to come to this place, which meant that the situation in the Flowers Kingdom was not yet resolved.

‘This is bad. Some problem has happened!’ A low-level Spiritual Saint from the Gray Clouds Sect thought to himself, thinking of the problems they would have in case of a failure of Minos in this state of women.

At the same time, Emlyn was standing on top of the other giant Spatial Kingdom skeleton alongside several other beasts, Kyla among them.

“I wonder what happened, mom?”

“I don’t know, but this is no time for you to worry about it,” Emlyn told her daughter. “Go back to cultivating and try to absorb the essence of that skeleton. If we get something from it, we’ll all become mighty!”

“I know, but…”

“No buts. You’re only at level 67 and can’t help Minos in any way! Go cultivate!” The fox with eight tails said this to her cub, causing Kyla to shut up and go back to meditating over those bones.

For beasts, it was easier to feel how impressive those bones were and connect with them. That’s why, ever since these bones arrived in the Spatial Kingdom, beasts have been using them to get stronger.

Minos knew what these beasts were capable of and was trying to use this as inspiration, using, of course, something that only he could feel since he was the only one with the ability to do this.

…

While Minos was trying hard to suck the strength from those gigantic bones, a few months passed.

In the meantime, the queen and the upper echelon of the Flowers Kingdom stopped watching Minos’ black hole 24 hours a day.

They turned their attention to their daily business, leaving that region of space under observation.

But not only the most powerful in that state had gone that way. The very princess who had challenged Minos was cultivating elsewhere, leaving a subordinate to keep an eye on that black hole.

She wouldn’t waste her time waiting for her opponent, who probably thought he could surpass her in cultivation speed and thus become stronger.

Adele had realized this months ago and stopped watching that place 24 hours a day.

Hence, the only ones watching that lightless region of space were a few eunuchs and low-level women, among them Ella, who was angrier than ever at Minos.

But she wanted to see when he would give up this silly little show and lose to the Crown Princess. Thus, she was still standing there, anxiously waiting for him.

Besides these people, the two women at the border post, who had followed Minos on his entire trip through the Flowers Kingdom, had finally been released from their activities and returned to their post.

Only the envoy of the Eastern Empire continued to observe that place until the present day when someone sent by Emperor Travisani arrived at his position.

“You may leave. I will take over your duties from now on.” A level 85 man said this to that level 80 Spiritual Sage, ending that man’s journey as an observer of Minos.

He readily accepted this, looking back one last time, curious how long Minos would wait. But soon after, he opened a wormhole away from there, setting off toward his home state.

‘Good luck…’ Those were his words, spoken only in his mind before he disappeared from the area.

While a new envoy took over the responsibilities of that old acquaintance of Minos, the black hole of that emperor continued to spin, unchanged.

But inside the Spatial Kingdom, things were somewhat different!
