"That I don't know. But the people I know who know about it think that the group that finds the map and reaches the Seraph Ancient Sarcophagus will be able to achieve many grade-4 resources. But not only that, they will be able to recover that man's corpse."

Minos frowned as he heard this comment from her, not understanding why that man's corpse would be of any significant value.

He knew about the properties of a Spiritual Demigod's body, as should be the case with this person. For himself, that body could serve as a nutrient for one of the spiritual roots in the northern region, something that could help him increase the energy density in that area of the empire.

But that shouldn't be so valuable for high-level people from the Eastern Empire and the Blood Triangle Pirates.

Not to mention that from time to time, high-level people would die in those forces, and they would have corpses of a similar level.

Because of this, he naturally asked in doubt. "What's with his corpse? Why would he be so important?"

This level 85 woman said, making an expression that showed her great interest in the matter. "That man was supposedly one step away from reaching peak cultivation at level 99 when he disappeared.

But that wasn't the most important thing. The crucial thing was that he had an innate regeneration ability that was supposedly so strong that he could preserve his body in the afterlife.

That should be enough for his corpse to appear preserved to such an extent that, even after hundreds of thousands of years, it would look like his post-death minute version!"

That might seem like just a random curiosity, but to someone who knew about the Spiritual Church like this woman, this was relevant information.

The Church had many cultivators in its ranks, meaning that there were countless special abilities within that organization.

And precisely because of this, in this generation, there was a particular person in the Church who had an ability that could infuse their soul into dead corpses and use the abilities of that corpse.

Suppose this preserved corpse was recovered and sent to this person. In that case, they could obtain a body of a level 99 cultivator with a regeneration ability that would make it almost indestructible.

With such an ability, many things could be changed on this continent without a God in the current generation!

Minos didn't know the same things as this Spiritual Sage. Still, he could understand the value of a preserved body of a level 99 Spiritual Demigod.historical

'There are countless applications for something like this...' He narrowed his eyes, thinking of the many possibilities.

A 'fresh' corpse just wouldn't be useful for possession since, for that, the body to be possessed had to be alive. But other than that, something like this could be handy for weaker cultivators, that is, for practically everyone in the Spiritual World.

Minos hadn't considered this at first because even the bodies of Spiritual Demigods were degraded over time. So considering the years that had passed since that person had last taken a breath, his corpse had to be very worn down by now.

But if this ability was real, then anything was possible!

Minos frowned as he thought of something and asked. "But why are these people only now looking for this map?"

"Who says they are only now looking for it?" That woman asked him back. "As I said, that man's message reached the descendants of his faction during the Great Migration. At that time, the northern region was in chaos with the departures of local powers, looting, new sovereigns emerging, and wars...

Considering your background, I think you would have liked that time...

Anyway, that was a bad time to find anything in that area, which still had specialists coming and going. So nothing was found.

At the same time, as time passed, people in that group were living their lives, having new problems, challenges, opportunities, etc. Pope Maximus's own accession greatly disrupted the situation.

And over time, those most interested in that man's plans died out, leaving behind only history, which some of their descendants would follow, but others would not." She said, thinking of the infinite possibilities that could erase the signs of a great expert's passing. "So throughout this period, searches were started and abandoned, depending on the generation of members of the Spiritual Church.

That faction he had been part of no longer exists today. Still, several Church groups, including the Evergreen family, know about his story, and apparently, one of them is interested in it now...

If you want to know why they are looking for you, it is because you are the first since the Great Migration to gain dominion over that area. So they must think that you might be the one to find such an item." She finished her answer.

"What about the Eastern Empire?"

She answered quickly. "They are enemies of the Church. So naturally, they are just trying to get in their way.

If the Travisani family finds that map, they will probably destroy it."

"I see..." He muttered, satisfied with this woman's answers, which told him far more than he knew.

'A corpse and grade-4 resources... That's pretty valuable, but I don't know if it's enough for me to get involved in an intrigue between giants.' Minos pondered, considering that forces with powerful Spiritual Demigods desired that.

The problem with everything was that these forces, particularly the Blood Triangle Pirates group, were beginning to pressure him.

Otherwise, Minos would simply keep that map with him, and when he was strong enough, he would search for the Seraph Ancient Sarcophagus to collect the items in that place.

That might even help Gloria in her journey to become Supreme Pontiff of the Spiritual Church!

But in the meantime, he would have to deal with the pressure, which could greatly hinder his actions on the Black Plain and in the Central Continent itself.

On the other hand, the idea of trying to sell this map didn't seem good since the side that didn't buy this item might see Minos as a problem to be eliminated.

As such, he was at a crossroads of fate!

'Tsk! I've kept it for so long... I'll keep storing it in the Spatial Kingdom as long as I can. If I eventually have no option but to dispose of it, I'll decide what to do then.' He clenched his fists, leaving the problem to be solved further down the road.

He could go to that Seraph Ancient Sarcophagus and then lie to the power-pressing him, investigating something that no longer existed.

But that would be dangerous, and he would first have to discover more about this ancient resting place of the Spiritual Church.

He knew that woman could help him with that, but he didn't ask anything so as not to draw unnecessary attention. Gloria could help him find out more about that place without him having to expose his insistent interest in it.

"Well, that's all I wanted to know..." Minos stood up, grateful for that woman's help.

But before he could say more, she told him. "Finally, I have a tip for you..."
