Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis' vacation in the highest world was over, and it was time to return to his cultivation. He already missed his family, but he only needed to become more powerful to see them again, and when he ascended one more time, he would be able to stay with them all the time. This would be the last time he was away from his family for an extended period of time.

Gravis stepped out of the portal and appeared in a gigantic, grey hall. He looked around, surprised that he appeared in a man-made structure immediately instead of in the wilds. On the walls, Gravis could see a ton of different weapons hanging there.

Gravis quickly checked out the weapons and realized that they had all been crafted with the High-Tier Hard Pure Law, which meant that they had the power of a level four Law. This would be quite impressive for any new Ascender since no Ascender knew level four Laws.

On top of that, the weapons were crafted really well. As Gravis looked at them, he could even envision what kind of Cultivator would use these weapons.

"Greetings, Ascender," a voice came from Gravis' left, from the entrance of the hall. Gravis was currently looking at the weapons but hadn't dropped his guard. He had noticed this person from the beginning, but the person didn't seem to have any hostile intent towards Gravis.

"Hello," Gravis answered without looking at the person. He didn't mean to be rude, but he was just too interested in the weapons.

The man didn't take it to heart and came closer. Gravis turned his gaze to the man and noticed several things. He was wearing light armor, grey in color. On his back, Gravis could see a rather long spear.

'Sure enough, he carries his weapon on his back,' Gravis thought. 'This is probably a Weapon Cultivator.'

"These are symbols of power from the different Sects," the man said as he stopped beside Gravis. "As you can see, there are over a hundred of them, each one representing one Sect. They serve as a demonstration of the Sects' ways."

Gravis nodded. "I can feel different elements in different weapons. I can also feel Laws like Heat, Cold, and several others. I can even sense some mixed elements. Yet, the surprising thing is that nearly half of them have no element at all."

The man, a guard probably, had a shocked look on his face. "You can feel all these Laws?" he asked.

Gravis nodded. "I know a lot about the elements, and I'm pretty good at forging. That's why I can tell," Gravis said.

"You are no Purist then, I presume?" the guard asked.

Gravis furrowed his brows. "What's a Purist?" he asked.

The guard looked surprised since he hadn't expected that question. "How do you not know that?" he asked. "Are you joking with me?"
