Chapter 1005 - 1005 – Weak Determination (1/2)
The three of them returned to the Purist Sect, and Liam left.
Meanwhile, Stella and Gravis went back to their house in the Purist Sect.
They hadn't talked much on the way back since they hadn't much to talk about.
However, as soon as they entered their home…
Crash!
Stella collapsed!
Gravis looked with shock at Stella and inspected her thoroughly with his Spirit Sense.
Yet, nothing was wrong.
”Gravis,” Stella said weakly as she took heavy breaths.
”What's going on?” Gravis asked nervously.
”I have been afflicted with a deadly poison,” she said.
Gravis narrowed his eyes.
”By whom?” he asked coldly.
”Ehm,” Stella hesitated. ”I didn't notice them. They just threw this nasty poison at me and left.”
Gravis lifted an eyebrow. ”So, you're saying there's someone powerful enough that can hide from you and inflict you with a poison, even though the Ancestor of the Nine Elements Sect and Liam were right beside you?” he asked.
”Yes,” Stella answered, becoming red in the face. ”However, their identity is not important. What's important is that you need to cure the poison.”
Gravis blinked a couple of times without amusement.
He didn't buy that story at all.
”And what am I supposed to do?” Gravis asked with a lifted brow.
”The poison is called the Nine Springs Rose,” Stella said, ”and it's a poison that only works on women. It needs the essence of a man to be healed. Gravis, you must help me, or I will die!”
Gravis was a bit taken aback.
Some seconds of silence passed.
”Is this some kind of new roleplaying?” he asked.
Stella didn't answer and became a bit red in the face.
Gravis nodded solemnly.
”I understand,” he said with seriousness. ”I am still a pure, young man, and I have never been with a woman before. Yet, for my lady's sake, I am willing to sacrifice my virginity.”
”You're lucky I'm magnanimous!”
Stella had to hold back her laughter.
And with this, another age of happiness and love started between Stella and Gravis.
Obviously, Stella had been joking.
She had read some stories in her downtime, and she thought the idea of such aphrodisiac poisons to be so incredibly stupid that she wanted to act out this fantasy with Gravis.
As Gravis spent more time with Stella, the reality that he was now the most powerful being in this world hit home.
There was really no one but Arc left.
Usually, when Gravis had become the most powerful being in a world, he would leave quickly.
Yet, this time, he remained.
It felt weird.
The entire world felt weird.
It was like the entire world was Gravis' home now.
After all, Gravis felt everywhere to be as safe as his own home.
Peak Immortal Emperors?
They were nothing but some cute animals that lived in his garden.
On top of that, Gravis also held no fear for Stella.
She was more powerful than Sect Masters, making her one of the most powerful beings in the world.
When this feeling of safety appeared in Gravis' heart, it transformed into a concept.
BOOOOM!
Gravis had comprehended the level six Law of Safety!
Yet, Gravis wasn't sure if he should feel happy or not.
Sure, comprehending another level six Law was great, but with every Law Gravis comprehended, he came one step closer to his fight with Arc.
'I'm only missing the level six Law of Control,' Gravis thought, unsure of what he should feel. 'When I know that Law, I will be able to condense the level seven Law of Sentience.'
'At that point, the Gate of Death awaits.'
Right now, Gravis stood somewhere in the Purist Sect, just watching Cultivators trying their luck on the new Form Law Stone.
'When I saw the Gate of Death, going into it felt so distant. It was like the Law of Sentience had been so very far away.'
'Yet, here I am now, so close to comprehending the Law of Sentience.'
'Only the level six Law of Control is missing.'
'I don't even know what Mortis is doing.'
Gravis had contacted Mortis some time ago, asking him what he was doing. After all, there was no emotional connection between them anymore, making Gravis a bit uneasy subconsciously.
It was like someone that had always been standing beside him now stood behind a wall. Gravis could walk around the wall and see them, but he couldn't be sure anymore if they still existed when the wall was between them.
Of course, such a worry was a bit irrational. After all, it was normal that humans didn't always see each other 24/7.
Gravis knew that, which was why he was keeping himself in check when it came to contacting Mortis.
Mortis would also want to use his newfound emotional freedom, right?
Whenever Gravis contacted Mortis, Mortis would reply in short sentences.
