Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis left the Unrestrained Sect until he was outside Liran's Spirit Sense range. Gravis didn't want Liran to find out how he would become a Late Minor Circulation Immortal or the fact that he actually already was one.

Gravis still remembered that this world was different from a beast world. When humans saw someone very outstanding, they believed that they were a genius. Yet, if that person did something that seemed physically impossible, they might decide to kill that person to find out their secrets.

Gravis' unreal Battle-Strength was definitely suspicious, but it could still be explained with all the different Laws he knew. However, if they knew that Gravis could control and absorb lightning, everything would collapse. Controlling someone else's element was impossible and broke the very rules of reality.

His beast body was also something that he had to keep a secret. Liran knew about Gravis' body, but he was probably one of the very few Cultivators that didn't ask further due to his drive for freedom. Someone with a different mindset might decide that Gravis was an enemy simply due to his body.

As soon as Gravis arrived at his destination, he started forging his new weapons. Sadly, there wasn't nearly enough ore to create a full set of armor, and that was something that Gravis had to get used to. This world was filled with resources, just like a natural world, but in comparison to a natural world, every single human cared about resources. This meant that getting resources was very difficult.

Gravis readied two sabers and two spears. With the remaining ore, Gravis upgraded his World Weapon. He hadn't used it yet, and he probably still didn't need it, but it was worth it for the future. As soon as he built his first Focus, he would probably start training with his World Weapon. Right now, without a Focus, Gravis' World Weapon wouldn't be any more useful than a normal one.

Gravis quickly finished his preparations and decided to wait for a day. Trying to comprehend something new in just a single day was a waste of time. So, Gravis simply waited for a day to make it more believable that he somehow reached his new Realm in a different way.

'Soon, I will have my first real tempering experience after thousands of years,' Gravis thought. 'The last time I had a proper fight was against Heaven. The fight against that one captain can't be counted as tempering. Except for receiving that one attack, I have been in full control of the fight.'

'However,' Gravis thought as he narrowed his eyes. 'I need to be careful about the attacks of my opponent. The last one already nearly killed me, and he didn't even have any kind of powerful Law. He simply used a level two Law and some level one Laws to unleash his attack.'
