  If there were any knowledgeable beings nearby, they would be trembling in fear at the meaning of these stars brightening up and dimming at just the slight waking of this terribly powerful being!

  They would be able to understand that the extremely large brightening and gradually dimming stars...were actually just the eyes of this slumbering being!

  Just the eyes were the size of a star, their brief opening causing the dangerous Aether permeating throughout the region to be thrown to disorder! As for the being connected to these eyes?

  Its size could not even be ascertained in this void darkness of space!

  Chapter 290 - Immensity

  Yet another goal had been successfully completed as Noah spent more time in the inner layer of the Icebound World discussing with the convening Planetary Systems on the best courses of action.

  Numerous plans were made for the unique environment of the extremely hazardous Icebound World as the Planetary Systems had already begun the process of establishing the Gateways between the connected worlds while they sent messages to those left high in power between each worlds for the continuing changes.

  Noah left the inner area as this process began, enjoying the immense feeling of power he felt in the [Lesser Cthulhu] form that had a stupidly large stature while keeping a humanoid appearance. It felt different than when he changed to a large form of a Three-headed Hydra as a unique feeling permeated through him while feeling the appearance of the mystical Aether element coursing over the abundant fibers of muscles over his body.

  He moved his thoughts and commanded his body to move upwards as he shot forth and became a streak of light, his large body not becoming a factor that slowed him down, but increasing his speed by multiple times as he left sonic booms in the cold layers of earth he was penetrating!

  The feeling was something he did not come across frequently, and he chose to revel in it than to just use teleportation to get where he wanted as he broke out of the mountainous layer in only one fourth the time it took him to go down before.

  WAAA!

  The cold atmosphere of the Icebound World trembled as he broke out of the mountain, his aura permeating into the surroundings and causing the surrounding elements to tremble. A wide smile covered his face as he deactivated the [Morph] ability and returned to his small human form, feeling the auras of the Emperor Penguin and others near his position.

  "Master!"

  The arrogant penguin called out meekly as his sleek body arrived first, his gaze towards Noah being just slightly more subservient as he received more and more treasures and resources from this Spiritual Land Master. The subservience only lasted briefly before the pride in its blood made it rise its beak towards the sky as Kazuhiko, the Kraken, Imperial Phoenix, and the other beasts appeared in the surroundings as they looked towards Noah in shock.

  They had only briefly felt a world shocking aura in the position where he was, feeling an oppressive feeling even before they neared as they wondered exactly where his power had reached now.

  Kazuhiko was the only one that ignored this immense feeling of pressure as he approached Noah and placed his hands around his neck and whispered with a serious face.

  "Dude, you have to stop shooting up in ranks while the rest of us are so far behind. Where the hell do you even go? What cheat or crazy inherent skill do you have eh?"

  The Sword Master was whispering his grievances to the constantly advancing Noah as his own rank was that of a Transcendent, having received many [Cores] from Noah over the last few weeks along with everyone else. Kazuhiko continued talking as his party and the beasts gathered around the two of them.

  "It's crazy to think about man. For all I know, you might just do something insane like jump another rank after just a few weeks or upgrade your Spiritual Land to the 6th tier soon while the rest of us can barely bring our own Spiritual Lands to the 4th tier."

  Noah couldn't help but laugh as he heard this, glancing at the {Spiritual Land Management} under his stat panel as he called out to the arrogant penguin who was looking mockingly at Kazuhiko.

  "Everyone is ready?"

  The Emperor Penguin was looking mockingly at Kazuhiko as it knew the requirements for the next upgrade of the Spiritual Land was already met when he and the other beasts advanced from Phantasmal and into the Transcendent Rank. This human simply didn't know the immensity of his Master to even think that he would be this slow before he upgraded their Spiritual Land to a higher level!

  "...You're kidding, right?"

  The Imperial Phoenix was even more shocked than Kazuhiko as she was a native of the Beast World and knew exactly how unique and stupendous the Spiritual Lands were, as well as the exuberant amount of energy required to upgrade even if the rank requirement was met for the beasts born in the Spiritual Land.

  Noah let his actions speak for himself as he flicked his hand out to the skies, a brilliant blue light shining out as the miniaturized Spiritual Land enlarged and floated stably in the cold air of the Icebound World.

  This Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land matched very well with the aesthetics of the frozen world, the shimmers of snow constantly falling in it matching nicely with the cold winds all over the Icebound World.

  In the Spiritual Land, raucous noises started as the numerous beasts sensed their Spiritual Land Master and the task he was about to undertake, their excitement increasing as the rank of their home was about to increase yet again, granting them a world filled with even more coagulating essence and fantastical medicinal fruits and herbs.

  "Shut up!"

  A resonant scream came from one of the futuristic high rise buildings built through the [Architecture] feature of the Spiritual Land as a sleeping Barbatos dressed in satin pajamas was awoken. Silence instantly reigned in the Spiritual Land as her wild aura at the Saint Realm permeated from her voice.

  Yes, Barbatos had been the first one after Noah to enter the rank of Saint! She was the one that stuck to him closest, remaining in the Spiritual Land and training in the Time Space as she also was the first to receive the refined cores that were called [Spirit Stones] from the World of Cultivation.

  A milky white aura covered her body as she spread out her senses and saw the cl.u.s.tering group of beings all around the Spiritual Land, her cute eyes blinking rapidly as she saw the stern face of Noah. She reached her hands to the switch on the reinforced glass material that made the entire luxurious building she was in as the switch activated to close the blinds in the wide room she was in, her curvaceous figure disappearing from the observations of others as she grabbed even more pillows and jumped up on the bed that would put even the most expensive memory foam mattresses to shame.

  Kazuhiko was shaking his head despondently as this scene played out, with Noah patting him on the back in consolation as he confirmed the number requirements for the beasts were met before his aura began to bubble forth, initiating one of the next goals he had to check off before heading out to the Underworld where the Pureblood Vampyres resided!

  Chapter 291 - Tier 6 Spiritual Land!!!

  The upgrade conditions were met the moment the Emperor Penguin and more than four other beasts born in the Spiritual Land reached the Transcendent Rank. The upgrades between ranks became easier as Noah first got his hands on an abundant amount of Transcendent and Saint [Core]s during the second run-through of the Devilish Abode, and then received even more condensed cores that had undergone refinement, the Spirit Stones from the Profound Astral Sect.

  This, on top of the Medicinal Fruits he unlocked when the Spiritual Land was upgraded to the fifth tier, made for a very quick rise of strength in the beasts. He planted the herbs called [Frozen Angelica] and used the rainbow-colored fruits from the [Regal Flora] in the Time Space while also using one of the very few low ranking skills, the rank S [Budding Farmer], that still held great utility.

  When this was paired up with the {Forge of the Silver Flame}, the unique skill he gained from the mysterious Sect Master Inuit, the results became stupendous to look at.
He was able to refine a large number of pills from the Medicinal Herbs and Fruits that quickly matured in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land.

  The Medicinal Plants showed optimum strength when devoured by the beasts born in the Spiritual Land, so Noah was able to rapidly increase the ranks for the beasts, causing an explosion of high powered beasts populating the Spiritual Land. An example was how when he upgraded the Spiritual Land to Tier 5 a few weeks ago, the number of Mythical Beasts was 14, while the number of Phantasmal Beasts was only 6. Yet currently, the number of Mythical Beasts in the Spiritual Land was around 300, while the Phantasmal Ranked Beasts were in the 60s!

  This was a world-shattering concept to think about, something that should have never been made possible, but it was made a reality became of the combined factors of extremely potent Medicinal Plants that was the key to quickly upgrading the beasts' strength, the Time Space, the skills [Budding Farmer] and the {Forge of Silver Flame}. All of these factors added by the cheat that should not be possible, the immense amount of mana that Noah could utilize, made for a nonsensical rapid increase in the ranks of multiple beings in this Unique Treasure that was the Spiritual Land in an extremely short period of time.

  There were many factors, but they all came together to give something beautiful!

  Noah stopped his reminiscence as he placed a tremendous amount of mana into the Spiritual Land, initiating yet another upgrade in rank as essence converged upon the floating landmass in the skies of the Icebound World.

  RUMBLE!

  The Harbingers of Sin in the skies were watching with disbelieving faces as they knew the hardsh.i.p.s of raising the levels of Spiritual Lands themselves, while the natives of the Icebound World located all over began to feel the appearance of a majestic aura spread throughout.

  The upgrade of the Spiritual Land to the 6th Tier could be considered very special, as the next ability to be unlocked was the one titled [Interstellar Travel]!

  Across the stars, it was a widely known fact that beings had to be in the Void Rank to be able to freely travel across the vast space, but this upgrade of the Spiritual Land would allow its master to traverse space as long they could provide enough mana!

  Noah was looking forward to this new feature, as well as the increased functionality of the Time Space. The current ratio was 1:10, meaning that this upgrade would push this ratio to 1:20. This would heavily increase Noah's efficiency when it came to his training as he would need even less time in the outside world to rapidly increase his power. It was a ridiculous concept to wrap one's head around as just a single day in the outside world would equate to 20 days in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land!

  Cold winds ravaged the skies of the Icebound World as a single mystical landmass floating in space was glowing a spectacular shade of blue and white.

  SHAA!

  This blue and white coagulated and bloomed into a cacophony of resplendence as a grandiose Frozen Plateau that seemed the same as before, but at the same time felt entirely different than before appeared!

  Bated breaths were taken by the beings around Noah, especially those with higher power levels who could feel the abundant essence pulsating on the Spiritual Land. If the outside world could be given the numerical value of 1 for the essence in the atmosphere, the Spiritual Land could be given a value of 10!

  That was how dense the continuously converging essence around and inside the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land was. Noah glanced at this treasure that continued to bring him immense surprises, looking at the {Spiritual Land Management} in his stat panel observe the quantifiable changes.

  Upgrade- Conditions not met.

  The numbers of powerful beasts had exploded exponentially as beasts that would put the average Large Worlds to shame appeared. When observing the Demon World or Icebound World, they only had a select number of Phantasmal beings that stood at the peak of power, and they could be counted on one hand most of the time.

  Yet this single Spiritual Land now contained the tremendous force of 69 Phantasmal Beasts, and that wasn't even mentioning the 12 Transcendent Rank Beasts that made it possible for this current upgrade to occur!

  This high number of forces that exceeded most large worlds contained in a single floating landmass made Noah continue to reevaluate just how tremendously unique a treasure like this Spiritual Land was. There continued to be newer and more explosive features that made mystical things a reality, that it now felt normal and explainable to see the exuberant amount of powerful beasts contained within.

  Noah went through the upgraded features of Size Regulation, Boost Surroundings, Offensive Maneuvers, and even the Treasure Hunter that he had not gotten a chance to truly put to use as marveled at the increased usefulness of each.

  He could expand and miniaturize the Spiritual Land to an even more extreme state with the Upgraded Size Regulation, give tremendously powerful boosts to the surrounding environment with Boost Surroundings, and the power of Offensive Maneuvers continued to be reinforced and increased that he was sure its power would be able to threaten even a Void Rank being.

  But all of these things were placed aside as he looked at the feature he utilized the most, as well as the newest feature that was made possible by the upgrade to the 6th Tier.

  [Time Dilation] :: The abstract concept of time can be manipulated in a small area. 1:5 Ratio (Unlocked), 1:10 Ratio (Unlocked), 1:20 Ratio (Unlocked), 1:40(Locked)

  [Interstellar Travel] :: Exploration of the wide expanse of space is something that falls under the responsibilities of the Spiritual Land Master. This feature allows the user to input a specific amount of mana that allows travel across the void of space for a particular amount of time.

  Noah's eyes shone as he first read over the increased ratio of the Time Space that would allow for even more time for training, and he felt his blood pumping as he thought of the simple idea that he could now fly this mystical piece of a floating landmass that was the Spiritual Land into space!

  It was wild, crazy, and ridiculous to even think such a thing was possible when he first became the master of this Spiritual Land in the Frozen Kingdom of the Beast World. Never in his wildest dreams would it have occurred to him that one day he would be able to actually leave a star and enter the vastness of space with this same Spiritual Land.

  But it was possible, and so he would do just that!

  Chapter 292 - Realizing one's own insignificance

  Noah turned to the Harbingers of Sin around him as he spoke out with enthusiasm.

  "You guys wanna go for a ride?"

  "A ride?"

  They looked at him dumbfoundedly after just witnessing the immense show of power that was required to upgrade the Spiritual Land, their minds still reeling from that shock.

  "Haha, yes. A ride! Get on the Spiritual Land. I'll be right back."

  His figure flashed as he teleported away from the Icebound World and appeared at another freezing location, this one being in the Frozen Kingdom of the Beast World. His senses spread out to cover the entire kingdom as he honed in on the Frozen Queen and her Shadow Guard, Night, his figure materializing in front of them as they glanced towards him happily.

  "I have something to show you."

  Noah said this towards the Frozen Queen who was ever so
slowly showing off a brighter and brighter smile from her cold exterior, his hands wrapping around her and Night as they all disappeared from the Beast World and reappeared on top of the Spiritual Land in the Icebound World.

  The room that Adelaide was just in turned silent as the Ill.u.s.trious King Roark, Adelaide's father, glanced at the nobles and ministers awkwardly as the current Queen was just swiped away by the powerful Sir they knew to be pulling the strings behind the scene.

  "Get back to work!"

  The old King Roark roared out these words as the ministers scrambled out of the Queen's Hall and returned to their normal duties, a slight smile appearing on the father's face as he felt proud for one of his children finding such a grand path.

  ---

  In the Spiritual Land, Noah reappeared with Adelaide and her Shadow Guard, Night, as everyone was gathered in the central location of the Spiritual Land where he cl.u.s.tered most of the buildings that he made through the use of [Architecture].

  The Harbingers of Sin were shaking their heads at the overflowing essence they could feel in the Spiritual Land, Kazuhiko once again speaking out to the reappearing Noah as he let out more grievances.

  "We don't even need to go anywhere else to train, this place is a haven with mana this dense all around us."

  Noah laughed as he nodded towards this Sword Master and replied while watching Barbatos join them, still in her satin pink pajamas as she yawned.

  "All in due time. For now, buckle up!"

  Noah initiated the feature of the Upgraded Spiritual Land, [Interstellar Travel], as he chose to not notice the sparks flying off as Barbatos's eyes landed on the newly appearing Adelaide, with her Shadow Guard even pulling out a knife as this stare off was initiated.

  OONG!

  Immense mana wrapped around the Spiritual Land as it trembled slightly, and seconds after it began to rise in the air as it pierced through the cold winds and cloud, climbing higher and higher by the second.
