Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis' mind was going wild as he saw the "teacher".

What teacher?

This was definitely the higher Heaven!

He looked far too much like the middle Heaven, except for the two differences that he definitely looked like a he and not a "they", and that he had five eyes instead of seven.

However, the more Gravis thought about this, the less sure he became. Orthar had also looked like a Heaven, and he certainly was an octopus, not a Heaven. Additionally, if this were the higher Heaven, he would be breaking so many rules by being here.

First of all, he directly came into contact with the beings in this world and even taught them things personally. Second of all, he was directly communicating with them.

Would the highest Heaven allow something like this?

Gravis listened in on the lesson the teacher taught and realized that it was only about how to perceive Laws. He explained that there were many ways one could use to understand Laws. They could try to resonate with a Law, which was how the people in the Unrestrained Sect cultivated. However, he also explained that they could understand Laws by understanding and looking at them.

He didn't teach them any specifics about Laws and only showed them how they could concentrate on comprehending Laws. Something like this wasn't damaging to one's path, and Gravis sure would have benefited from such a lecture back when he entered the middle world.

The teacher wrapped the session up in about ten more minutes, and the Cultivators left. The relatively younger Cultivators shot off like they were finally free from some boring lecture, while the older ones had fallen into thought.

The beasts and humans passed Gravis, throwing curious glances at him.

The teacher straightened his back like he felt stiff. Then, he looked at Gravis and smiled in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Gravis," he said.

All of Gravis' doubts vanished as he heard the teacher directly address him. To normal Cultivators, he would sound just like a normal guy, but Gravis had talked with the middle Heaven for a long while.

This was definitely the higher Heaven!

Gravis hadn't noticed before since he hadn't directly addressed Gravis, but he had the same kind of resonance with the world that the middle Heaven had.

Gravis narrowed his eyes. "I'm pretty sure what you're doing is against the rules," he said.

The higher Heaven's smile widened in amusement as the Immortal King beside Gravis got confused. Rules? What kind of rules?

"Samantha, would you be so kind as to go back to the others?" the higher Heaven said. "I want to talk to him alone."
