Chapter 758: Returning to the Sect (2/2)

SHING!

Gravis appeared near the Unrestrained Sect again, clutching his head. 'Fuck this spatial displacement!' he thought as he felt nauseous.

After some seconds, Gravis recovered again and thought about the Weapon Laws. 'I have no idea how to even start. I also don't know how long this will take. I mean, understanding a level one Law is already pretty easy for me, and the Low-Tier Saber Intent should be able to exhibit the power of a level one Law. However, I have no idea how long even the first level would take.'

'Additionally, what even makes a Weapon Intent stronger than another one? No idea.'

Gravis sighed.

'Anyway, I should return to the Unrestrained Sect again. Now that I am a Late Minor Circulation Immortal, I could use some tempering again. My Will-Aura is no longer at its peak.'

With that thought, Gravis teleported a couple of times until he returned to the Unrestrained Sect again. After looking around for a little bit, Gravis noticed that nothing had changed. The atmosphere of the Sect also hadn't changed. This meant that there was no imminent danger or anything similar.

'Nothing unusual here,' Gravis thought. 'I don't know what Arthur is planning, but his plan hasn't revealed itself yet. I doubt that he would directly attack the Unrestrained Sect since he is still wary of Liran. This means that he will probably use some other methods.'

'I'm in a world of humans now. An open war probably won't appear just like this. Humans are more prone to use soft methods, slowly chipping away at the enemy until they get suppressed into such a weak state that they can kill them with just a single strike.'

Gravis looked around and tried to think what he would do.

'I think the inside of the Unrestrained Sect is off-limits. That leaves three possible attacking points.'

'First, resources. Resources are becoming relevant again in this world. I don't know how the Unrestrained Sect acquires their resources, but they must acquire them in some way. Maybe Immortal Stone mines? Maybe renting Law Comprehension Areas?'

'Destroying access to these resources would stunt the growth of the Sect and would maybe even motivate the disciples to leave. The Unrestrained Sect is especially vulnerable to these kinds of attacks due to the free policies.'

'Second would be honor. Beasts don't care about such stuff, but most human societies do. If the Unrestrained Sect gets suppressed by others and humiliated, the disciples might decide to leave since they wouldn't want to be part of such a weak Sect.'

'Third, the disciples themselves. Assassination squads outside the Unrestrained Sect could be waiting to strike the disciples. However, that's a double-edged sword. If the assassination squad fails, the disciple's Battle-Strength will explode due to the tempering. Additionally, if any kind of information leaks out, the Sect that sent these squads will find the alliance of Sects as their enemy.'

Gravis narrowed his eyes.

'I think the first and second options are the most likely. Liran and the Sect Elders have lived for longer than me and have lived in human society their entire life. They definitely came to the same conclusions as me and are already looking out for these kinds of attacks.'

Then, Gravis smirked.

'But soft human warfare is actually more helpful to me than beast warfare. Beasts attack with overwhelming power, and something that can kill Liran can kill me easily. Instead, humans have to find ”reasonable” reasons to go into conflict. This means that people of higher Realms won't attack people of lower Realms openly.'

'This gives me the initiative. I am able to choose my opponent due to my low Realm. Additionally, no one knows that I am already a Late Minor Circulation Immortal since I keep my stronger body hidden in the Life Ring.'

'This means that an endless number of potential enemies will come knocking at my door, and I get to choose my opponent.'

'This is perfect!'
