Lightning Is the Only Way

Surem fell into thought. On one hand, all of these things clashed with a lot of his beliefs, but on the other hand, they made sense.

Yet, it wasn't so easy to change one's entire outlook.

"Thank you for your teachings, senior brother," Surem said respectfully.

"Don't mind it," Gravis said with a smile. "I'm only talking to myself mostly. Is there anything else I should know about the Sect?"

"There isn't much you need to know about the Sect," Surem said. "You can live anywhere you want in the Unrestrained Lands, and you can talk with whomever you want. However, we have a central hub for miscellaneous things."

Gravis felt his Spirit Sense being pulled to another mountain. There, he saw some huge buildings made out of stone.

"This is the central hub," Surem said. "If anyone inside the Sect or outside the Sect wants to commission someone from the Sect, they can put up a notice there. Of course, it's up to the individual if they want to accept or not."

Gravis nodded. "That's exactly what I need right now," he said.

"Weapon Cultivation, right?" Surem asked. "You said that you wanted to learn Weapon Cultivation."

Gravis nodded.

"Actually, I'm still in shock about this whole thing," Surem said. "Someone with your power doesn't even know how the basics of Weapon Cultivation work. It's so unreal."

"However, you also explained that you lived among beasts for a really long time, which makes this whole thing more understandable. Weapon Cultivation doesn't exist among beasts since it requires a Spirit and a Will-Aura," Surem said.

"That's the main reason why I have no idea about Weapon Cultivation," Gravis said. "I fought beasts for over a thousand years, and I haven't even seen a human during that time. After around 2,000 years, I returned to the human world, but I didn't really fight anyone else after that. I simply concentrated on learning more Laws."

"Speaking of," Surem said. "If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?" he asked.

"About 4,000 years old," Gravis said.
