As he began his meditation at the fountain of life, Minos felt his fatigue from the earlier battle fade away as his muscles relaxed and regenerated with great speed and efficiency.
The essence in the marrow of his bones, which currently contained a large amount of immortal energy, was stimulated after he started meditating, something that was hard to come by when he wasn't trying to use his innate ability or one of his seals on the giant bones.
This liquid seems to stimulate deeper and denser natural laws, similar to those of Panvuter. Minos thought to himself, amazed by the effects of the Tree of Life's fountain.
There was a big difference between the laws available in Panvuter and what was in that place on Elves Island. Still, the spiritual density there was the best he had ever seen in this world, and it could stimulate what he had already achieved through years of hard work.
Other people wouldn't feel the same way. But since Minos had already cultivated an immortal cultivation technique and had also absorbed a lot of immortal energy from the giant bones, this source was able to stimulate his marrow to become stronger by itself!
His physical essence was already at a very high level due to the fact that he had used Divine Medicine to improve the quality of his physique, so just a few hours after entering, Minos could already feel his understanding rising to a new level.
If before he was able to manipulate laws in a similar way to ordinary level 98 cultivators, now he felt that he could understand the world around him more like someone at the absolute peak.
That didn't mean that his strength had reached level 99, but rather that his understanding of reality had reached the peak of this world!
Sensing this, Minos was naturally excited because even at level 91, he could feel that his understanding was already very close to reaching the threshold between that of level 99 Demigods and Gods!
'When I reach level 93, I'll be able to manipulate laws in a way that only Gods can.' Minos estimated, imagining that with this power, he could wreak havoc against the group that would soon invade the Spiritual World.
'Even if I can't deal with them here in the Spiritual World, I'll find a way to take the war to The Adamant Land.' He thought, considering that this place might be 'weakened' during the action on this planet.
In that case, attacking the enemy in The Adamant Land might be a way not only to disrupt the enemy's plans but also to bring victory to the Spiritual World.
If I can fight on the same level as a God, I'll be able to settle the war between our worlds!
While he was thinking about these things and taking advantage of the opportunity, his first few days there passed so quickly that Minos didn't even notice.
During those days, nothing bad had happened to him, as the elves had thought.
Minos felt so good and comfortable in this place that he forgot that he should have some kind of test or resistance against it since he wasn't an elf.
But not even the elves knew everything about this place. While Minos was taking advantage of this great opportunity, a tattoo in the shape of six wings on one of his hands had been glowing since he had entered.
Minos didn't know what was happening because he didn't feel anything except the changes in his being. But his contact with the remnants of a true seraph helped him in this place!
This tree had not been born in the Spiritual World with the chaos of that world during the stabilization of this planet after the end of Panvuter. It had been planted in this world after a meteor had fallen in the region that would become known as Elves Island.
The entirety of Elves Island was a piece of another distant world that had also exploded, sending pieces of itself across great distances of the universe.
More specifically, this meteor came from a planet controlled by the lord of the Seraphim Tribe, and the seraphim who came to the Spiritual World had methods of recognizing or being recognized by the essence of that ancient world.
By identifying the characteristics of that source, the tattoo on one of Minos' hands made him more compatible with that place of origin in the World's Tree.
Meanwhile, Minos continued to meditate, feeling very entertained as he understood the profound laws of time and space.
Time and space were closely related. Since Minos already had a good handle on space and a basic understanding of time, he could easily learn more about one of the most difficult and rare laws to control.
Time was one of the supreme laws of the universe, and when mastered, it provided unimaginable benefits to its wielder.
Aware of this, Minos focused more and more on developing his control over time and gradually began to affect the passage of time around him.
He had less than two weeks to stay in this special area. But while two weeks would pass in the outside world, Minos would feel that his stay beneath the Tree of Life would extend over a much longer period of time.
...
When he felt that he had been cultivating in this place of the elves for almost three months without interruption, Minos finally felt that something was strange.
'Why haven't the elves interrupted me yet?' He asked himself as he continued to meditate, not noticing that the water level of the lake he was in had dropped by three centimeters.
Normally, level 99 elves who stayed as long as he did would leave the place 1 centimeter shallower.
But near the end of his time, Minos came very close to lowering the level of this lake by 4 centimeters!
While he worried about the passage of time in the lake, the elves outside the place were still waiting for him.
The two level 99 Demigods were amazed at Minos' performance, as he didn't need any help and didn't have to leave early after more than 10 days in that place.
One of them kept an eye on the tunnel leading to where Minos was and sighed for another day. "It looks like he doesn't want to leave before his time is up..."
"Minos Stuart... What kind of monster is he?" Muttered the other Demigod, quite impressed.
One of them had entered this place, but even though he was an elf, he couldn't last the maximum time in such an area!
As for the other notable humans who had entered, not even the most impressive of them had made it this far into this area!
Thus, these two would continue to guard the area until Minos' last day in this place, the day before the start of the Continental Tournament!
