After two days of travel between Payton and Dry City, Minos, and Oswald finally reached the capital of the Black Plain Empire!
Upon arriving there, the two saw the many floating islands on the capital's outskirts, places that were already tens of meters high above ground level, quite an improvement.
Minos had expected to find this on his return to Dry City. Still, Oswald was a little surprised, not even needing to check the local spiritual fluctuations to notice the improvement in energy density.
But apart from this most obvious indication of the local improvements, upon arriving in the capital's core, Oswald noticed the level of people in the surrounding area, surprising himself.
The amount of Spiritual Saints had increased dramatically since his departure, and each of the experts from his old sect had become stronger.
At the same time, the local army was much stronger, with several members already at the 8th stage.
