The Rise of the Black Plain



The old curse hated the Ancient Folk. However, he also greatly respected how far those beings had come back then. 

Whether he liked the Ancient Folk or not, he couldn't deny that this civilization created light amid darkness by developing methods that practically gave the Spiritual World to humans.

Millions of years ago, spiritual humans had to hide from beasts in this world and were the weakest race on this planet. But after all this time since the rise of the Ancient Folk, everything has changed, and humans could long be considered one of the ten strongest races!

"You were right to think that the Ancient Folk had developed many different methods." The old man with the shredded face said to Minos while the three relatives of the Goddess of Life listened attentively to the ancient history of this world.

"Back then, it was tough to cultivate. Humans were completely different from beasts and elves, beings with a great affinity for the chaotic cultivation laws of that time. Humans couldn't just eat the resources of this world and go to sleep like dragons. Therefore, this race was weak, and only a lucky few were able to cultivate to high levels for that time.

But the Ancient Folk had a clear goal: to survive the war of the races and rule the world. This civilization gathered all the beings of their race who could cultivate and spent more than a million years studying the methods of cultivating human beings.

It was very difficult for them. At that time, the world's cultivation laws were changing very frequently, and some laws were getting stronger while others were disappearing altogether. That greatly slowed their progress but didn't stop them from succeeding.

After many failures and methods that didn't work well for people then, they finally found a stable way with a good success rate for those who used the technique.

That is how spiritual techniques were born, ways to use the powers within the individual and the world to their advantage.

He laughed at this. "Unfortunately for the wretched Ancients, they had to leave their discoveries to ordinary humans, as their nemesis wiped them out shortly after they succeeded."

In the past of this world, there were several races of ghost people. One of them was the race of the Ancients, while the most common of them, the race to which Minos belonged, was the only one that had survived in the long run.

Some of the genes of the other human races had been mixed with those of the weaker race, so they hadn't completely disappeared. However, it was a fact that there hadn't been another member of the pure Ancient Folk in this world for a long time.

That's how the first techniques were developed on the Central Continent.

They have obviously changed a lot over the past 10 million years, becoming better and more refined.

The first cultivation technique that was created was only a White-grade. In contrast, the Golden-grade one took almost 5 million years longer to develop.

However, the Ancient Folk's first step was fundamental in changing the fate of the human race, changing the world, and changing the ancient conflicts that were common at that time.

"They seemed incredible..." The 9th stage man in Minos' group commented in a low voice.

"Incredible?" The curse looked at him. "The damned Ancients only became that way by sacrificing people of different races. They weren't friendly. As much as they wanted the supremacy of humanity in this world, they saw no problem in destroying cities and races inferior to their own to test their theories.

What do you think happened in the past to develop the spiritual theory? Do you think the guinea pigs in those days lived well? The few who didn't die and endured the extreme conditions of the experiments suffered for the rest of their lives.

Some of them were even sent to the Celestial Continent to fight against the dragons and races of that place."

"I didn't know you said..." The man swallowed his saliva as he realized that the spiritual theory's creators were capable of everything his group despised.contemporary romance

"No wonder they were exterminated." A level 89 woman commented.

Minos then asked. "What about the flawed methods they developed?"

The old man looked at Minos and said. "They developed a total of six mental theories. The sixth theory was the one that worked and was used by the people who occupied the Ancients' territory after their extermination.

As for the other methods, they are impossible to cultivate in today's world. But if you want to take a chance, I can teach you three of them. I don't have the other two. The first two methods disappeared before they reached me."

How did this being know so much? It was because he not only knew the Ancient Folk's nemesis, someone who had vast knowledge of that race, but he could also absorb the knowledge of his victims.

Over more than 10 million years of his existence, he had killed beings from different eras of the Spiritual World and learned about many of the secrets of this planet.

As a result, he knew that the ancient Heavenly Continent had split into two pieces of land, currently called the Continent of Beasts and the Divine Continent.

He also knew about Henricus Longus, the classifications of spiritual techniques and artifacts, and a lot of basic information about this world.

He even knew about the Black Plain Empire, as someone with knowledge of that region had fallen into his hands about 15 years ago.

Minos then said. "Give me these three methods. I'll see what I can get out of them. Maybe I can use something they've developed."

"All right. But if it hurts you, don't blame me. I'll just give you those methods and fulfill what you asked me to do."

That being condensed his knowledge of three of the six projects of the Ancient Folk and produced orbs of glowing energy, which contained all the relevant information he had about these methods.

Sensing that there was nothing wrong with these orbs, Minos immediately absorbed them. He would soon feel a great flow of ancient knowledge appearing in his mind.

Through this, he could more or less sense what the Spiritual World was like in the distant past, the closest he could get to this world of Panvuter.

He didn't want to come to any conclusions about what to do with these methods without first studying them a bit and considering the opinions of some of his experts. So Minos kept this in mind, seeing a few points that he thought were interesting, but he was not rushing to do anything with it.

'I will take the rest of this trip and focus on it after I return to Dry City.'
