Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis remained sitting at his current position for several days, just thinking about the future.

Sadly, no matter how much he thought about his future, he just didn't see a way out of his predicament. Not matter what he did, he would have to sacrifice something he wasn't willing to sacrifice.

The hopelessness of the situation put a heavy weight on Gravis' shoulder.

Gravis wanted to feel pressure while cultivating, but he didn't want to feel this kind of pressure. The more pressure he felt, the more powerful he would grow after breaking through it, but this was something different.

Gravis would lose something important, no matter what happened.

Fortunately, Gravis' will wasn't so weak that he would break due to pressure. He hadn't felt this kind of pressure before, but that didn't mean that he couldn't deal with it.

So, after some days, Gravis stood up again and stretched himself.

'As much as it pains me to admit it, the best course of action is not to resolve the problem immediately but to postpone it until I know more. More Laws might help me understand the world better, which might allow me to find a good solution.'

'I have to ignore the problem for now and concentrate on becoming more powerful.'

Gravis looked towards the north with narrowed eyes. 'From now on, nothing is keeping me away from comprehending Laws anymore.'

'The Sect Alliance won't do anything.'

'The issue with Stella is resolved.'

'The issue with my lightning won't be resolved anytime soon.'

'There is no danger around anymore.'

'Now, I can concentrate on comprehending Laws as much as I want.'

Gravis sighed. 'However, over 20,000 years of comprehending Laws might change me. I will be staying in seclusion without any real contact for five times as long as I have been alive.'

'I fear that I might lose myself in a sea of Laws, becoming similar to an emotionless being that only is interested in nature, not emotions. I fear that I might become similar to the Black Magnate when I met him, just fully focused on power.'

'I hope it doesn't happen, but there is no way to know. I have never comprehended Laws for that long.'

'Well, whatever happens, happens,' Gravis thought.

Then, he teleported away.

First on the list were the Battle Laws for the Inferno Element.

Gravis arrived at the first Law Comprehension Area of the Inferno Element, the Law Comprehension Area for the Law of Inferno's Heat.

Back in the middle world, Gravis had already noticed that there were element-specific temperature Laws, and this one was the element-specific version of the Law of Heat. It was a level four Law, which, as the name implied, increased the temperature of the Inferno Element even more.
