Chapter 855: Directions (1/2)

Gravis left the tree behind and flew further towards the southeast. Gravis hadn't even seen a single Immortal in this area, which meant that they were probably deeper in the beast territory.

However, for once, Gravis was not so sure. Nearly the entire Great Forest had the same Energy density throughout. So, why would the Immortals be somewhere else?

As Gravis continue flying, his body slowly became bigger. His growth was very slow in order to not draw any suspicious glances.

Why was he growing bigger?

There was a reason why Gravis grew bigger, and it had something to do with his eventual fight. Everything would unveil itself as soon as he met his opponent.

After some minutes, Gravis was already a hundred meters tall, and that was when he stopped growing. This was still small for beasts below the Law Comprehension Realm, but every other beast would travel in a smaller body size.

After around half an hour, Gravis finally saw another beast.

It was a Nascent Nourishing green bird with a wind affinity.

When Gravis saw it, he immediately changed directions and teleported over to it.

SHING!

Gravis appeared in front of the bird, and the bird felt its feathers standing up.

Why did this powerful beast come to it?

”Where is the next Immortal?” Gravis asked directly.

The pressure Gravis radiated forced the bird to immediately answer. Following more powerful beasts was within a beast's nature.

”This is the territory of the Sand Immortal,” the bird said. ”She is an Immortal. Go to this direction,” the bird said as it gestured towards a direction.

'Territories, huh?' Gravis thought as his brows furrowed. 'So, the Immortals are actually not deeper in the Great Forest but are rulers of territories. There is probably a hierarchy of more and more powerful beasts that are subject to even more powerful beasts.'

Gravis nodded and teleported away again, leaving behind the shocked bird.

Gravis flew for a couple of minutes until he saw a small pangolin resting on top of an ore vein. Gravis had expected the Sand Immortal to be a beast with an earth affinity, but this beast obviously had a metal affinity. A beast with an earth affinity wouldn't cultivate near some metal ore.

SHING!

Gravis appeared in front of the Sand Immortal, and the Sand Immortal immediately stood up when it saw Gravis stop in front of it.

It was an Early Major Circulation Immortal and was quite powerful in these parts, but it couldn't even feel the power of this newcomer.

However, the Sand Immortal wasn't fearful or nervous in front of Gravis.

Why?

Because it saw Gravis' appearance.

Wait, why wouldn't that make it terrified? After all, Gravis' appearance was about as terrifying as it got.

”Are you an Immortal King?” the Sand Immortal immediately asked calmly before Gravis could say anything.

Gravis' brows furrowed. This Sand Immortal was not a little bit scared. He wondered why that was.

”Why are you not afraid?” Gravis asked.

”Because I am too weak, and you are searching for tempering,” the Sand Immortal said evenly. However, its posture obviously showed respect. Its words were straightforward and lacked respect, but its posture showed that it was subservient to Gravis.

This was the politeness among beasts.

Gravis' eyes shone. ”How do you know that I am searching for tempering?” Gravis asked.

”When a Black Demon flies around, it means that someone is going to die,” the Sand Immortal said.

'Black Demon, huh?' Gravis thought. 'Liran had said something similar back then. The Black Magnate said that there are several beasts that look similar to me. After all, I couldn't possibly be the only one that can see the use of having such a body. I guess that beasts that look similar to me are called Black Demons.'

Gravis gestured for the Sand Immortal to continue. The Sand Immortal was a bit confused that Gravis wanted the Sand Immortal to say more about something so obvious, but it had to follow the orders of more powerful beasts.

”Black Demons live for combat,” the Sand Immortal said. ”The body of a Black Demon is made to be as effective during battle as possible, which shows that they are willing to forsake their old bodies for more power.”

”Black Demons pride themselves in fighting levels above themselves, and they don't care about killing the obviously weaker ones. You are not in your territory, which means that you are searching for tempering,” the Sand Immortal said.

Gravis nodded. ”Correct,” he said. ”I am searching for an Early Major Circulation Immortal King,” Gravis said.
