One week later...
After communicating with Starclaw, Minos left the capital of the Grinia Empire and moved easily to the vicinity of the west coast.
Traveling through authorized wormholes, one would hardly encounter problems on their way. Besides, Minos was a Spiritual Sage. At this stage, one would be above most living beings even if one lived on the Divine Continent.
As much as there were stronger beings, the dangers for someone like Minos traveling even through stronger areas were not that great.
The higher the level, the greater the rationality and intelligence. So even territorial beasts would not seek unnecessary trouble with people just passing near their territories.
Unlike low-level beasts that would seek confrontations sometimes for pure adrenaline or to feed themselves, powerful beasts had no such needs and only fought when necessary.
If there were no 'prize' for getting into trouble with an unknown being, most would rather simply pretend not to be seeing or sensing beings near their domain.
Who could assure them there wasn't someone higher up behind young experts traveling around the continent?
This was a doubt that beings of all types would have when they became more powerful and experienced. Therefore, the roads of this world were even safer for high-level cultivators, not only because they had fewer opponents capable of defeating them.
But Minos had faced some problems in the final part of his journey to where his yacht should be waiting for him with Starclaw and all the people who would join his forces. In the middle of the way, Minos came across a clash of specialists. Because of this, he had to change his path and take a much longer route than he should have.
One way or another, this afternoon, he finally spotted his yacht as he arrived where he had parked it weeks ago.
...
Spotting his yacht while standing on a hill near that harbor, Minos sighed, seeing Starclaw and all the others living on it.
That was a yacht for a few people, but the group had managed to fit the hundreds of beings that would be traveling to the Central Continent there.
Luckily a large number of them had cultivation above level 70, so several could control the measurements of their bodies as they wished.
Many of these normally large beings were in smaller sizes, with many even demonstrating lengths usually only seen in children.
Minos smiled at this, noticing Starclaw in her bestial form, only slightly larger than an ordinary chicken.
She looked like a doll!
He put this image into his memory and smiled, shaking his head.
Then Minos controlled the space in his surroundings and appeared above that yacht. "I'm back, guys!"
"Minos!"
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone outside the yacht shouted simultaneously at his sight, smiling in satisfaction and relief that he had returned well.
Many there were worried about their leader traveling alone across the continent, even though they knew he was already close to them.
Even if the dangers for people of Minos' level were not so many, they existed, and being alone, without someone to lend him their strength, Emperor Stuart was undoubtedly vulnerable.
As good subordinates who depended on him, they were worried!
Minos sensed over 1,200 beings between levels 60 and 89 on that yacht and said. "Well, don't rush to come to me now, haha. There are too many of you here, so stay where you are. Let's focus on starting our journey to the Central Continent.
As soon as possible, I will send you to a place where most of you can travel comfortably in the coming months."
Everyone on that yacht listened to him and immediately accepted his orders.
Minos looked at Fermo, who was also the size of a child and asked. "Have you separated who will take care of this yacht during the voyage?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We already have a group of 50 cultivators who will take care of this ship. The rest of the staff can stay free." That hybrid said.
"Hmm, great." Minos looked at Starclaw and asked. "What about our stay in this place? Have you settled everything?"
"Yes, we can leave at any time." She answered him.
With those words, Minos ordered. "Then it is time to leave. Gather the anchor!"
Quickly those in their natural sizes, which were not floating near the yacht, such as some Spiritual Emperors who had not found space inside the yacht, began to do the departure procedure.
With so many working, the yacht departed from that port in a few minutes, slowly moving away from the mainland.
However, it would take several hours before they would get far enough away from these lands that no one there could see the Divine Continent anymore.
In this initial period, Minos would use much of the time to put Divine Seals on these beings that would soon enter the Spatial Kingdom.
But even he didn't have so much spiritual energy that he could use his 9th technique dozens of times without exhausting himself. After making 69 seals, he stopped to regain his strength and then made 69 more seals.
Following this, when the group finally reached a position where they could no longer see the great Divine Continent, Minos had already made 345 Divine Seals.
At that moment, he went to these people flying above his yacht - because there was no room for everyone - and said. "All right, I want you to take each other's hands."
With that command, Minos saw them all do so and floated above his yacht, quickly picking out one of those people and touching his shoulder.
They were all Spiritual Emperors who could not transform their bodies. As such, Minos first intended to send them out to decrease the number of beings on his ship.
Looking at that person, he smiled and said. "Very well, obey the hierarchy of the place you are going. I won't be able to get through there for now, so we'll see you in a few months."
Minos couldn't go to the Spatial Kingdom inside his ship in normal situations because the ship was almost always moving. So he would miss the place he teleported to when he went there and end up far from his ship when he returned.
Then Minos didn't plan to go to the Spatial Kingdom for the next few weeks.
But he had visited his family at that cultivation shrine a few times during his time in the Divine Continent.
In a few situations, he had found cultivation places that completely hid his tracks, so he had taken advantage of these moments to see his family in these past few months.
Unfortunately, several problems on this trip prevented him from letting his wives travel by his side. So they had spent all their time in the Spatial Kingdom.
Not everything was under his control!
Anyway, those people nodded to Minos, indicating that they would follow the rules of the place they were being sent, and then disappeared under the observation of him and several crew members.
