The payment requested by the captain of that crew would easily exceed the cost of promoting someone to level 117.

Suppressing a group of cultivators with opportunities capable of helping them become stronger was the equivalent of generating the opportunities for a single individual to reach level 117. Minos did the math and came to this conclusion, noting why Milo had warned him that trips to the Narrow Discus were expensive and not worth getting directly involved in.

Fortunately, it was a price his group could afford. Having already beaten several mid-level and high-level Supremes, they had enough to pay for dozens of trips like this.

Minos asked the crew about their experience, which plants the team members were from, and even the travel time frame.

The trip to the first planet of the Narrow Discus they were going to would take two years. The group said they could continue traveling with them to their other destinations or even bring them back, eventually. According to them, the journey between the planets of that quasar would take between 6 months and 1 year on their spaceship, if they didn't have any problems in the middle of the journey. Then they could return to the Artificial Moon in another 3 years, totaling around 7 years of travel, disregarding the time they would spend on each planet.

After talking to this first group on their way, Minos promised he would think about what they offered until the next day. If he didn't return to meet them the next day, it would mean that he had closed with another group.

With that, Monk Milo led them to the other crew willing and experienced enough to make such a journey and who were on the Artificial Moon at the moment.

On the way to this other crew, he told the group about the Narrow Discus, a place in the universe they knew nothing about, apart from the planets they wanted to visit and the fact that the 'king of the beasts' was a native of the area.

"Going back to the lady's question, the Narrow Discus is a chaotic place. As I said, there, the Celestials fight in the very vacuum of space. And from those fights come the deaths of Celestials.

But don't make the mistake of thinking that the death of a Celestial is like the death of a Supreme or any other cultivator. Even an ordinary Celestial, who hasn't reached the Upper Realm, is an existence that stands apart from reality itself.

Some Celestials are so formidable that they could destroy high level worlds with their powers, but also bring dead worlds back to life. In a way, they are not so different from the figure of the creators that many in the universe believe exist out there.

There are entire worlds populated by races created by Celestials, but also artificial laws created by these universal specialists.

For all that, when one of them dies, a phenomenon similar to the death of a star occurs and that entire area of the universe suffers. You intend to go to the Narrow Discus now, but if you're unlucky enough to be caught in the middle of a Celestial fight, you might die without even realizing what has happened. That's how dangerous traveling to that area can be!"

He paused for a moment to give the group time to process what he had said so far and also for himself to take a breather.

"But if you're lucky enough not to get into the crossfire of crazy Celestials, you might come across the best place to cultivate and explore in the whole universe.

According to the groups of high-level travelers I've had the chance to talk to, that area of the universe is where there is the highest density of True Celestial heirs, not only that, where the most True Celestial heirs have fallen in the entire universe.

The amount of True Celestial heirlooms from the Upper Realm is also high in that area, with many possibilities for you to find absorbable artifacts that will easily lead you to level advancements, even at the end of the 12th stage.

Also, True Celestials and Devils aren't as rare there as they are where we are. Cultivators there openly talk about Hell and the Upper Realm. So perhaps you'll be able to resolve many of your doubts by traveling there."

The group was impressed by how much Milo knew. Perhaps all those years living as the head of this station and having contact with beings coming and going throughout the universe had given him advanced information that even the powerful of Uzira shouldn't have.

Apart from Mylecent and Ysolt, Milo had been the first from Zocarro, who had spoken so much about these two places that almost everyone in this world had the goal of escaping from one and reaching the other. This made them believe more of what they heard from him, imagining how surreal such a place was.

"You know a lot about Hell and the Upper Realm, Monk Milo." Minos smiled at the man, already seeing the next crew that this native of Zocarro was about to introduce to him.

"I've lived a long life and I've always been careful with my position..." He smiled in his calm way. "But I've seen nowhere other than my world with my own eyes. Maybe I've lived wrong, after all?"

"Well, I'm not the person to judge you. You certainly still have the opportunity to decide to live like this until the end or to change and see the universe in a different way," Minos said with a mysterious look on his face, a glint in his eyes that was hard to ignore.

Milo even shivered as he looked at this man, getting a better sense of the depth of Minos' abilities.

"Before that, I'll look forward to your return... You will return, right?" He changed the subject.

"Maybe," Abby answered vaguely.

"Well, if you return and you're willing to tell me what you saw, I'll be on hand and I'll do my best to help you."

"We'll keep that in mind." Minos said when they finally arrived in front of another spaceship.

This time, the tribulation didn't seem to be taking care of the spacecraft, like the other group who needed time to repair their own vehicle. These other aliens in Minos' path could leave in just five days, with a slightly stronger crew than the previous one, but that would cost Minos' group a lot more.

If with the other group they would have to pay the equivalent of riches to turn someone into a level 117 Supreme, the other group would charge them enough for one to become a level 118 Supreme.

As for the other conditions, they were basically the same as the previous group. Because of this, Minos made a deal with this second group, seeing nothing with his Nautilus' Compass and Incorruptible Heart that could make him choose one over the other. So he simply opted for those who would get them off the Artificial Moon the fastest!
