The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2736  The Location of Another Part of a Celestial's Body

In addition to the insignia of the room he was in, Minos also received a pendant that was soon hanging around his neck.

"What's this?" Minos sensed that there was something different about the pendant.

The blond man laughed, but didn't explain in depth. "It's a good thing. Forget it exists for now. It won't be of any use here or in Uzira."

Seeing the look of surprise on Minos' face, the man laughed. "What? Do you think I don't know where each of you comes from? Or rather, where each of you left from before coming here? Haha, Minos, you're really interesting." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Minos corrected his surprised look, putting the True Celestial pendant aside to look at him. "What about the tip you were going to give me?"

"You're a hasty fellow. You need to take it easy, kid. But that will be sorted out in time. You're still a child compared to me." The man put his smile from a few moments ago aside as he changed his tone.

"Your tip will lead you to something good or something terrible. It will depend on your performance. If you succeed, you'll get a part of a True Celestial's body. In particular, this location I'm going to talk to you about has the part of a True Celestial stronger and more powerful than me, someone who has reached the absolute peak of the Upper Realm.

He lived for over 10 million years and handled the creation of several worlds and many life forms. When he disappeared, rumors that he had become Absolute spread throughout the Upper Realm and even reached some places in your universe.

If you find his last body part and succeed, you will most likely enter the Upper Realm with your family and friends. If not, you will die. There is no other alternative. The moment you take my hint, your fate will be between these two possibilities."

"You can speak the hint." Minos didn't hesitate in the slightest.

The True Celestial narrowed his eyes as the tips of his lips rose. "All right.

In your current world, Zocarro, there is a parchment lost at an important point in the Violent Sea. From it, you can get the probable location of what I told you.

Someone who had gone to Zocarro and then tried their chance to go to Uzira was a native of the area where this lost part is. They didn't know, because they weren't meant to. But they carried with them the item with the location of this treasure.

You will find this scroll in the same place where you will defy death. There you will be just two steps to getting the item. Eventually, there will only be your other competitors left in the world where this scroll will take you.

Each step will be a chance of death. But if you successfully absorb the remnant of that True Celestial, your story will change from water to wine. Your chances of completing my inheritance will rise by 80%."

Minos listened attentively, obviously filled with the desire to reach another part of a True Celestial's body. Such essences contributed more and more to the growth of cultivators as they combined within the same body with other essences from the Upper Realm.

Minos was almost certain that if he absorbed one more of these essences, he would raise the qualitative grade of his Physique to the Absolute grade. At that time, only a Celestial would be able to challenge him in Zocarro!

"All right. I'll see what I can do about that in the future," Minos muttered, answering much more to himself than to the golden-haired True Celestial in front of him.

"You certainly will, haha," said the man as his body slowly disappeared. "Enjoy the end of this inheritance. Use the time you have left here to cultivate to your next level. I doubt that any of your competitors will take you down now, but be careful. The greatest defeats come from where we least imagine them."

Soon Minos was alone in that cultivation room, where, without wasting any time, he closed his eyes and began to study the technique that the level 124 soul fragment had given him earlier.

He had already learned it and even turned it into a skill. A power capable of manipulating dimensions made sense to him, and he was obviously happy to learn such a technique. But now he was much more interested in how to turn it into a version that would give its user something close to a skill rather than a technique.

If he could do this, he could eventually help his wives and family members to progress their techniques into skills even without having to give them the chance to enter into an inheritance like the current one!

...

Time passed and Minos left the room he had entered on that floor where he had completed the True Celestial comprehension challenge much earlier than expected.

When he came across the 19 remaining competitors besides himself, Minos saw a new battle developing on that floor, something he had expected to emerge.

Part of the competitors wanted to eliminate as many opponents as possible so that the inheritance phase would end before they failed in their next rooms!

But unlike on the previous floor, Minos didn't have to fight. Or rather, the enemies became afraid of him and accepted the idea that he would be among the last 10 individuals in this inheritance.

Forfex and Soli would join Minos to talk about the difficulties they had encountered on this level, but they were gradually becoming more cautious about what they said to each other. With each new falling out between their adversaries, the day came closer when one would be against the other.

In the next phase of the inheritance, there would be no room for them to be temporary allies.

But there would still be a few more floors for them to climb. Even with the fall of 3 individuals on that floor, there would still be 17 cultivators left in total at the end of this floor, when the passage to the next level opened.

The group of 17 moved forward, each of them looking at each other, 5 of them certain that they would be among the finalists and looking at each other knowing that they would be mortal enemies in the final stage of the inheritance. Meanwhile, the others knew they could still compete against each other and were looking at the opponents they would kill on the next floors or who would kill them very soon.

In any case, with this change, the group would advance in their last moments in this inheritance and soon only 12 competitors would be left when they entered the 67th floor!
