Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis followed the teenager and got introduced to several Immortals and Immortal Kings. All of them accepted Gravis readily without questioning his background.

Simply talking to people like this reminded Gravis of his home. The people in Opposer City also only talked to Gravis without caring about anything else. Of course, there were the occasional people that were only interested in him due to his background and profession, but there were plenty of others as well.

Gravis talked for several days and also got to know a lot of things.

The children of this congregation left home when they understood their first Law. So, how come that there were also Immortals here?

The reason was that these Immortals and Immortal Kings were only visiting. They had left home and had created a new home for themselves. However, this was their childhood home, and they liked to visit from time to time. One could liken it to adults visiting their old orphanage from time to time.

Gravis also received quite a shock when he heard how many Immortals had actually come from here.

Right now, there were over 10,000 Immortals and Immortal Kings that came from here. However, they were all living outside and only visited occasionally. On top of that, due to Arc's incredible teachings, basically all of them lived in the Core Regions of the world.

Several Immortal Kings even had prominent positions in powerful Sects. Their Battle-Strength was powerful, which allowed them to hold these important positions.

However, when they were here, they were just like everyone else. No one was overly respectful to someone else simply because they held an important position. In here, everyone was the same. This was probably also one of the main reasons why these powerful beings liked to visit this place.

Gravis even met some people from the Peak Sects.

Gravis had no idea how many Peak Sects there were or how they were called, but after talking with everyone for a while, Gravis finally knew what the Peak Sects actually were.

Peak Sects were Sects that had at least one Peak Immortal Emperor. These Peak Immortal Emperors were theoretically at the Realm where they should ascend. Sadly, they couldn't. The reason was that they hadn't comprehended a level six Law.

However, that didn't mean that their Sects didn't have plenty of Ascenders. The Peak Sects had by far the most Cultivators that ascended to the highest world. Of course, these Ascenders didn't take up any critical positions in the Sect. After all, they were focused on ascending, not on running a Sect.

Even if they were not Ascenders, the Peak Immortal Emperors of these Sects were important to protect the knowledge and power of their Sect from other Peak Sects. If an ancestor died, they quickly had to push another Immortal Emperor to that position. Without an ancestor, other Sects might start to become more direct with their trades and demands.

Additionally, these ancestors were essential to protect the humans from the beasts.

Yes, there was a real war going on between the beasts and humans. This war didn't have tempering as its goal, but genocide.

No one knew how this war started, but after millions of years of war, both sides started to absolutely hate the other one. At least, that was how the humans generally described the war.

In truth, it was a war with a one-sided enmity. The beasts didn't really hate all humans since they felt that the death of other beasts was just natural. The stronger one kills and eats the weaker one. That was how life worked.

Instead, it was the humans that wanted to eradicate all beasts. So many loved ones had died to the beasts, which created an unending abyss of hatred towards beasts among humans.

It went so far that the entire human territory didn't have a single beast left.

Every single beast had been eradicated from their territory.
