Chapter 732: Testing (1/2)

Roger almost couldn't process what Gravis just said. What was he talking about? Why would a Major Circulation Immortal die here? But then, it hit him. Wait, did Gravis just say that he would kill a Major Circulation Immortal!? That was impossible!

Gravis teleported out of the hall before anyone could react and reappeared in the sky, and for the first time, Gravis saw the higher world in its full glory.

The light caressed the land, and Gravis saw a lot of buildings all around them. Yet, he was sure that they were not inside a city. There were simply a ton of wooden huts with fields of rice everywhere. The hall that Gravis had just left was the only relatively imposing building for thousands of kilometers around.

Gravis could also see several mountains, but in comparison to regular mountains, they seemed to be shorter but steeper. Rivers crossed the land, and Gravis could also see a lot of cows, chickens, and other kinds of livestock living around the area.

Where there were buildings, there were humans, and Gravis could see that one family generally owned one wooden hut and several surrounding fields.

Obviously, Gravis was in the middle of a community of farmers. After a closer inspection, Gravis also saw that most households had at least one Energy Gathering Cultivator in their midst while the remainder was in the Body Tempering Realm.

'Are these the mortals of this world? Usually, only the mortals without any cultivation experience run farms, but here basically everyone but the little kids have at least some accomplishment in the Body Tempering Realm,' Gravis thought.

'Also, I get why people eat rice but so much? Can't you also get some wheat and make some bread or something? Why is everything just rice?' Gravis thought.

”Are you the servant that dared to kill my soldier?” the person in front of Gravis asked with narrowed eyes.

Gravis' attention moved back to the person. ”Yes, but not on purpose,” Gravis said.

The man huffed. ”How can you kill someone a level above you mistakenly?” he asked with a tone that showed that he obviously didn't believe anything Gravis said.

”He pointed his spear at me, and I felt it was only fair to reciprocate. So, I took his spear and also pointed it at him,” Gravis said.

”Insolence!” the man shouted with righteous anger. ”You stole the path of a Weapon Cultivator!? This is even worse than directly killing him!”

Gravis rolled his eyes. ”I know that now, but I didn't know it at the time.”

SHING!

”Speaking to you is a waste of my honor and time, servant,” the man said as he took out his spear. ”You have taken a life of my Sect, so you will pay with your own life!”

The man pointed his spear at Gravis, who simply looked back evenly.

Yet, surprisingly, the man pulled his spear back slightly as his eyebrows furrowed. ”Or you can repay your debt by working for our Sect,” he said with a less offensive tone.

Gravis lifted an eyebrow. 'That's unusual. His Sect is probably allied with one of the others, and a guard from an allied Sect informed him about my abilities. That's the only thing I could think of that would warrant such a change in attitude.'

”Not interested,” Gravis said. ”If someone threatens me, I will strike back. I have power, and I will use this power to gain my freedom.”

SHING!

Gravis summoned one of his sabers and also pointed it at the grey man in provocation. ”Like I am doing right now,” he said with a smirk.

The man narrowed his eyes in rage.

SHING!

The man teleported with incredible speed as he appeared directly behind Gravis. Gravis had felt the teleportation coming, but it had still been hard for him to react with enough speed, but he managed to turn around and blocked the attack with his saber.

BOOOOM!

The surroundings shook as the weapons clashed. The surrounding buildings down on the ground were obliterated by the shockwaves as mortal families were reduced to ashes. When the powerful ones fought, the weak always suffered.

The guards in front of the hall almost couldn't believe what they were seeing! Just a couple of kilometers above them, the grey man and Gravis stood there with their weapons interlocked! None of the two moved as they were in a deadlock.
