Chapter 745: Long Means Dragon (1/2)

Surem fell into thought. On one hand, all of these things clashed with a lot of his beliefs, but on the other hand, they made sense.

Yet, it wasn't so easy to change one's entire outlook.

”Thank you for your teachings, senior brother,” Surem said respectfully.

”Don't mind it,” Gravis said with a smile. ”I'm only talking to myself mostly. Is there anything else I should know about the Sect?”

”There isn't much you need to know about the Sect,” Surem said. ”You can live anywhere you want in the Unrestrained Lands, and you can talk with whomever you want. However, we have a central hub for miscellaneous things.”

Gravis felt his Spirit Sense being pulled to another mountain. There, he saw some huge buildings made out of stone.

”This is the central hub,” Surem said. ”If anyone inside the Sect or outside the Sect wants to commission someone from the Sect, they can put up a notice there. Of course, it's up to the individual if they want to accept or not.”

Gravis nodded. ”That's exactly what I need right now,” he said.

”Weapon Cultivation, right?” Surem asked. ”You said that you wanted to learn Weapon Cultivation.”

Gravis nodded.

”Actually, I'm still in shock about this whole thing,” Surem said. ”Someone with your power doesn't even know how the basics of Weapon Cultivation work. It's so unreal.”

”However, you also explained that you lived among beasts for a really long time, which makes this whole thing more understandable. Weapon Cultivation doesn't exist among beasts since it requires a Spirit and a Will-Aura,” Surem said.

”That's the main reason why I have no idea about Weapon Cultivation,” Gravis said. ”I fought beasts for over a thousand years, and I haven't even seen a human during that time. After around 2,000 years, I returned to the human world, but I didn't really fight anyone else after that. I simply concentrated on learning more Laws.”

”Speaking of,” Surem said. ”If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?” he asked.

”About 4,000 years old,” Gravis said.

”4,000 years!?” Surem asked in shock. ”Sorry, I didn't mean any disrespect, but 4,000 years is a really long time to become an Immortal.”

Gravis didn't take it as an insult and only chuckled a bit. ”What? Do you think you can reach my Battle-Strength in only a thousand years or so? I have actually been an Immortal for around 2,700 years.”

”2,700 years, and you haven't raised your Realm?” Surem asked in shock. ”How can you stand that? I would feel stifled in your situation.”

”Understandable,” Gravis said. ”Everyone else would have long reached the next Realm, but I don't compare myself to others. My Battle-Strength is still not powerful enough. I need even more.”

”Even more!?” Surem shouted. ”Why!? Killing someone an entire Circulation above yourself is something that hasn't even happened in the legends. I'm certain that you have the most powerful Battle-Strength for your Realm in the entire world. Why would you want even more?”

”Sorry, but I can't tell you that,” Gravis said. ”I have my goal, and I want to reach it.”

”Oh, okay,” Surem said with some disappointment. ”Anyway, regarding your Weapon Cultivation, I can teach you.”

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. ”Sure, why not? What do you want in return?” Gravis asked.

”Oh, nothing,” Surem said. ”You saved my life, and I would be happy to teach you.”

Gravis only smirked. ”We'll see about that later, but sure, I would be happy to learn Weapon Cultivation from you.”

”Great!” Surem shouted with a smile, ”but there's something else we have to talk about first if you don't mind.”

”Oh?” Gravis uttered with a raised eyebrow.

”Well,” Surem said in discomfort as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. ”Dad said that after I show you the Sect, I should ask you if you would be willing to speak to the elders.”

”Why?” Gravis asked.
