"Senior, join my Burying Earth Sect!" a guy shouted suddenly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the floodgate was opened.
"No, join my Dark Descent Sect!"
"Join my Burning Light Sect!"
All of the guards imdiately started stepping forward and assaulting Gravis with offers. Usually, they would take turns in getting the Ascenders. That was also why only the grey guard appeared in the beginning. If an Ascender didn’t fit their Sect, the next Sect would be allowed to make an offer.
"Shut up! It’s the turn of my Flowing Water Sect!" a blue guard shouted.
Yet, no one cared. Even if they had to break the agreent, they had to get Gravis! Soone that knew so many Laws would increase the power of every disciple imnsely! Gravis could teach them a lot about their auxiliary elent and all the other kinds of Laws.
Gravis’ status had transford imnsely. Weak Elental Cultivators were called servants, but powerful Elental Cultivators were called Elental Teachers! A Weapon Sect that used an auxiliary elent would need these Elental Cultivators to comprehend more Laws so that they could teach the disciples these new Laws.
Elental Teachers were very valuable to every elent-related Weapon Sect, and it was basically unheard of that an Ascender was already one. Usually, the Sects would have to create their own Elental Teachers out of Servants.
Gravis only smiled. ’Power is everything. That’s true in every world. The weak beco suppressed while the powerful ones gain freedom,’ Gravis mused in his mind.
"Calm down," Gravis said with a smile. "I really appreciate all your offers, but I’m looking for a specific one."
The guards cald down imdiately, waiting for Gravis’ words. Would they be the lucky ones?
"I specialized in lightning and sabers," Gravis said. "Is there a fitting Sect?"
Imdiately, all the guards started grimacing.
Except one.
"Yes, here!" a guard in white and blue armor stepped forward. He had a saber on his back, and Gravis could feel so lightning inside the guard.
One had to rember that humans kept their elents separate from their Energy. The elents lived in the entire body of the beast, but they only lived in a small part inside humans. Additionally, their elent was fragile in its base form but would be able to unleash an incredible power when they infused it with Energy.
"Oh?" Gravis asked. "You specialize in lightning and sabers?" he asked.
The guard nodded thrice in quick succession. "Yes, we do!"
Gravis scratched his chin in thought. "That’s unusual," Gravis said. "As far as I know, spears and normal swords are more common among people with the lightning elent. It’s quite surprising that there is an entire Sect dedicated to lightning and sabers."
Instead of becoming offended, the guard looked embarrassed. "Yes, we hear that everywhere," he said quietly.
The other guards looked with disgust at this guard.
Gravis noticed their actions and realized several things. ’This is not the look of envy or jealousy, well, at least that’s not all of it. They also look at this guy with genuine disgust. Additionally, sabers and lightning normally don’t really go hand in hand, which would make it very hard to find new disciples.’
’People that reach the Immortal Realm have already refined their Battle Style as much as possible, which ans that they won’t easily change. This ans most of the Ascenders have already chosen a more fitting weapon for lightning. This ans that nearly no Ascender would choose this Sect.’
’With fewer recruits, the entire Sect won’t be able to fill up the elites of the Sect since not everyone can reach sufficient power. So, this Sect probably has a very weak overall power in comparison to all the others.’
’Yet, this Sect is still able to get a spot for a guard here,’ Gravis thought as he looked at the hall. ’The fact that over a hundred guards of different Sects are here ans that this is probably an Ascender Hub or sothing. This ans that the Ascenders co into this world in fixed locations and not at random.’
’So, if such a weak Sect can get a spot here with a weak upper echelon, it probably ans that they have soone holding down the fort. They probably have a mighty Sect Leader or Ancestor or sothing similar. Otherwise, this Sect wouldn’t have the opportunity to vie for sothing as important as Ascenders.’
’Well, as long as there is soone powerful enough to actually teach sothing, I don’t mind.’
Gravis had thought of these things in just a few seconds and nodded at the guard. "Sounds perfect!" he said with a smile.
The guard perked up when he heard Gravis’ agreent. For a second there, he had feared that Gravis would notice the conduct of the other guards and realize that their Sect was relatively weak. Luckily, Gravis had noticed none of this!
The other guards looked away. If they weren’t fearful of Gravis, they would have sneered at him. How had this Ascender beco so powerful without the ability to discern context clues?
All of them thought that Gravis didn’t notice their activities, when in reality, he had noticed more than they would have thought possible. Yet, as long as there was one powerful person in a Sect, they would be able to teach Gravis.
Now, Gravis only had to find out how powerful this person was and how far along on the path of weapons they were. However, for starters, it would be enough to learn from anyone. Gravis was probably the only Immortal in the world that didn’t even know the basics of Weapon Cultivation.
"What’s the na of your Sect?" Gravis asked.
The guard puffed out his chest in pride. "Punishnt Cleaver Sect!" he announced with pride.
Gravis rubbed his chin. "How did your Sect get that na?" Gravis asked.
"Our Ancestor created the Punishnt Cleaver, an incredible attack that allows him to remain undefeated in his level! Our Sect has been nad after this attack since it serves as our basis and core teaching!" the guard said with reverence.
"Punishnt Cleaver, huh?" Gravis mused.
"Yes," the guard said with a nod. "The attack you demonstrated earlier looks very similar to our Sect’s technique but weaker."
"Weaker?" Gravis asked in shock.
The guard beca nervous as he realized that he might have phrased that statent incorrectly. "I don’t an weaker, but less refined. Your attack is missing two essential things. One of them is Saber Intent while the other is proper Law Focus."
"Oh?" Gravis uttered with interest. "What’s that?"
The surrounding guards were shocked when Gravis asked this. These two things served as the absolute basis for Weapon Cultivation. Even though Gravis wasn’t a Weapon Cultivator, he should know these concepts! These concepts were about as basic as moving one’s Energy through one’s elent to create an elental attack.
It was like this Ascender had never seen a Weapon Cultivator before.
Yet, how was this possible!?
All worlds below them followed the path of weapons, and even though there might be worlds where the path of weapons doesn’t rule supre, there should still be enough Weapon Cultivators walking around.
This Ascender was incredibly strange. How was it possible to beco so powerful while having absolutely no knowledge about weapons? Whom had this Ascender fought to beco so powerful? Had he never fought a Weapon Cultivator? Had he been living among beasts for all his life?
"Well, Saber Intent is-"
WHOOOOOOOM!
The entire hall started shaking as an intense pressure appeared suddenly.
"Who dares to kill my soldier!?" a mighty voice appeared.
Everyone looked outside with shock at the new arrival. It was a middle-aged man with a grey beard, a grey spear, and grey armor.
anwhile, Gravis narrowed his eyes. ’Finally, this is getting interesting now! I want to have a proper fight!’ he thought.
This was soone in the Early Major Circulation Immortal Realm, three Cultivation levels but four power levels above Gravis. On top of that, this person was a Weapon Cultivator.
"Oh no," the guy from the Punishnt Cleaver Sect said. "A Core Captain from the Dead Earth Sect!"
"What’s your na?" Gravis asked the person from the Punishnt Cleaver Sect.
The person was shocked that Gravis seed so calm. "Roger," he answered out of reflex.
"Okay, Roger, would you please inform your higher-ups about this situation?" he asked as he stepped forward.
Roger imdiately realized what Gravis wanted and nodded. "I just inford them that they should arrive as quickly as possible. You need to survive until then."
Gravis only smiled. "That’s not what I ant. What I ant was that they should be ready to negotiate with the Dead Earth Sect."
"After all, the death of soone in the Major Circulation Realm is probably not a minor thing."
