Chapter 2564 Time to return to Zocarro

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Minos... You look different." The gray dragon looked at Minos with his eyes wide open, his once opaque pupils now glowing as if his vitality had increased just by the strengthening of the human in front of him.

The other three looked at Minos closely, each of them probing the level 109 subject with the human body, who at the moment didn't look so much like a human, nor a seraphim, nor a dragon.

Minos was now a strange and unique being, carrying such extreme characteristics in his 'small' body that someone who knew him before all these changes might not recognize him now.

His appearance hadn't changed too much, but the less attentive might have missed his identity even if they had known him before.

Minos thanked the dragons, as he had unfortunately taken nothing for them from the ancestral land.

"I appreciate the opportunity you gave me. I couldn't bring back anything of value from this graveyard, but one day I will return to this world to help you in some way. I promise you that."

The level 112 dragon scratched his large neck as he closed his eyes, appreciating the position the young man he had helped had reached.

"Don't worry. We dragons are patient. You can continue with your plans without worrying about us. One day, our destinies will come together again, if that's what it takes," said the old gray man, looking forward to the centuries to come.

"Good luck on your journey. You're going back to your current home, right?" the level 112 dragon asked.

"Yes, I have completed my mission. It's time for me to return to my faction and go into seclusion. The next few years will be spent strengthening myself behind closed doors. After that, it will be time for me to explore new places again." Minos answered with a nod of his head.

"Good. You've improved three levels in the last little over five years. Spend some time stabilizing your spiritual foundation and training your powers. In a few decades, you'll be able to become stronger again." The gray dragon agreed with Minos' plans. "It's not bad to go out and explore sometime. There's no way to reach the peak without using the bodies of your enemies as stepping stones to the top of cultivation.

But be aware of the things we've already warned you about. Your current power is great, but until you become a high-level cultivator, many people in the universe can kill you. Don't forget to hide your wings. Use your dragon powers if you must. It will disguise their origin a bit."

Minos thanked him again for his advice and made a gesture of respect to him and the other dragons.

"If there's nothing more to talk about, I'll take my leave. I hope to see you again in a few centuries."

So Minos left, flying without using his wings, towards the exit of this world, the place he had entered before meeting the dragon of level 112 years ago.

'Time to go home.' Minos thought to himself as he flew off alone, leaving the four dragons behind.

His next travel plan was simple. Travel to the Artificial Moon using the same route he had used to get to this world.

If all went well, he would reach the Artificial Moon in two and a half years. From there to the Armhands' headquarters could take between four and five years. Added to the time he had already spent away from his people, it would be about 20 years since he left, the minimum amount of time he had previously assumed he would be away from his family.

'Abby and the others must have improved their cultivation. When I return, it'll be time to experiment with the black liquid and raise our faction's influence to the maximum level.' He clenched his fists with a smile on his face, looking forward to the years ahead.

As for his cultivation to level 110, he wasn't thinking about it right now. His divine ability had been refined during this time, but after his three breakthroughs on this journey, it would take him at least 70 years of normal cultivation time to advance by one level. Even if he used his divine ability and cultivated in seclusion, it would still take him over 11 years to advance from his current level to level 110.

As such, he still had a long way to go to reach level 110. Right now, he wasn't worried about that, even though his cultivation was much more solid than others could imagine.

All those advancements came from artifacts, high-level blessings, or hard cultivation. Not only did they not weaken Mino's spiritual foundation, but they also greatly strengthened his foundation.

However, he really needed time to train without further increasing his strength in order to fully master his current abilities.

'When I get to the guild, I will focus on training. I'll continue to strengthen my cultivation until I return to the headquarters.' Minos narrowed his eyes, thinking of the Elder of the guild who was watching him.

If such a person had any bad thoughts about Minos, this human wanted to reach the highest level as soon as possible!

With these plans in mind, Minos set off, soon able to leave the home planet of the strongest dragons in the universe.

Leaving this world behind, Minos didn't know how long it would take to return, but he intended to fulfill the promise he had made to the level 129 dragon soul fragment.

He would do everything in his power to win the competition for the True Celestial inheritance, and then return to this world to take the dragon skeleton to the Upper Realm.

...

In the blink of an eye, three years would pass, and Minos would finally set foot on the Artificial Moon again.

After a long journey and some 20 years of cultivation experience in those three years, Minos left behind the spaceship that had brought him to the Artificial Moon and headed to the counter where he could secure his ticket back to Zocarro.

Leaving the place where he had heard he would have to wait six months for his trip to Zocarro, Minos soon found a place to cultivate in seclusion for a few more months.

For someone like him, six months passed in the blink of an eye. Before he knew it, it would be time to set foot in Oqia again and continue on to Examire!
