<h4>Chapter 785 - 785 – n For Ste </h4>


    "Gravis, why are you looking like this?" Ste asked. Gravis’ troubled expression made her a bit worried. She thought she had a pretty urate read on Gravis’ personality, but this didn’t seem to fit him.


    Gravis sighed. "Difficult," he said. "There are things that have been revealed to me in the conversation I just had. It’s simply difficult for me to find a way to proceed."


    Stebed her hair with her fingers as she looked down. "Well, when I see myself in such a situation, I just go one step at a time."


    Gravis scratched his chin in thought. He had also thought about proceeding like this, but he wasn’t sure if this was the best course of action.


    After some seconds, Gravis sighed. ’Fuck it! There are too many things to keep track of. Too many different situations are intermingled. Maybe I should really go through it one step at a time.’


    ’So, first of all, I can’t make any decisions as long as I don’t know how my issue with my lightning will be resolved. Tackling any of the other issues before that makes no sense.’


    Gravis nodded. ’I shouldn’t tell Ste about our dynamic and simply continue on like nothing has happened. If she takes the initiative to get closer to me, I can still stop her when it happens and give further exnation. Right now, until the issue with my lightning has been resolved, I will simply talk to her like nothing has changed.’


    "Thanks," Gravis said as he turned to Ste. "I wasn’t sure how I should proceed, but your input helped me in making my choice."


    Ste still had no idea what Gravis’ issue even was, which made her feel a bit uncertain. However, if Gravis wanted to tell her, he would do so. Right now, Gravis obviously didn’t want to share his worries.


    "Okay," Ste acknowledged.


    "Now!" Gravis shouted to banish the awkwardness in the atmosphere. "Let’s forget about my issues and get working on your issues."


    If someone didn’t know Gravis very well, they would take that as an insult. My issues? You say I have issues!?


    Luckily, Ste was very simr to Gravis and knew what he meant. Gravis was obviously referring to her Will-Aura problem.


    Ste nodded. "Yes, please, and thank you, Gravis," she said with conviction.


    Gravis nodded too. "Okay, there are two things you need to make interferences in fights be irrelevant to your Will-Aura," Gravis said. "Both of them are very hard to grasp, which is why it is so very rare for someone to be immune to something like this. After all, not even your teacher knew the answer."


    Ste got reminded of her teacher but nodded.


    "This means that it’s challenging to grasp both of these things. Understanding only one thing is already incredibly difficult, but understanding both of them is nearly impossible," Gravis said.


    "Yet, you need both of them, and both of them rely on you," Gravis said with severity. "I can only marginally help you with them. Everything elsepletely relies on you."


    Ste nodded, her red hair moving with her head.


    Gravis found her nod cute, but he quickly distracted himself. After knowing that they were perfectlypatible, Gravis couldn’t ignore Ste’s subtle movements anymore. Now, he was under their full assault.


    "One thing is an essential change of mindset while the other is theprehension of a very rare and elusive Law," Gravis exined. "By the way, the Law I am referring to is the Law that your teacher said she heard about but has never seen before."


    A Law even her teacher had never seen?


    Ste released a sigh. Such a Law had to be iparably hard to understand.


    "Let me first tell you about the Law," Gravis said. "You won’t be able to watch, see, or perceive the Law yourself, which is why you can’t search for it. Even knowing its name might make it harder since you might try to seek out the circumstance and philosophy of this Law, which would make it even harder to understand it."


    For the first time, Ste was confused. The things Gravis had just said went against the basic philosophy of cultivation. A Law that can’t be observed? That exists? Also, knowing about the Law would make it even harder to understand it? How was that even possible? One had to observe and look at the Law to understand it. How was it possible that not looking at the Law would make it easier to understand it?


    Everything Gravis had just said made no sense. If her teacher had not confirmed Gravis’ abilities and if Ste didn’t know Gravis very well due to their conversation, Ste would not even entertain that such ims were factual. It simply went against everything she knew.


    However, Ste also became a bit excited. Comprehending Laws was like doing calctions. The more Laws Ste learned, the more sterile and grey they became, but the description Gravis had just given sounded mystical.


    When Ste had been young and weak, she still remembered the mysteries of the Laws. Comprehending these unfathomable and seemingly illogical things felt magical and mystical to her.


    Now, a part of this mystical feeling came back.


    This was somethingpletely new!


    Ste’s eyes now radiated a subtle sparkle of interest and wonder. She didn’t even know what this Law was, but she wanted to know it!


    Gravis had to avoid looking into Ste’s eyes since they distracted him from his teachings. ’Fuck! Why did you tell me about our connection, Arc!? You’re making this far harder than it should be!’


    Meanwhile, Arc wasughing at Gravis’ difort.


    "I can’t tell you what Law it is, but I can show you the category and exin to you why it is so hard toprehend," Gravis said.


    Ste nodded with motivation.


    "Do you know about the Laws of Perceived Reality or Situational Laws?" Gravis asked.


    Ste scrunched her nose as she thought about these words. "I think I’ve heard about Situational Laws before, but only a little bit. I think I also didn’t hear it from anyone that I deemed as important, or I would have a clearer recollection of their words."


    Gravis nodded.


    "There are four primary and several secondary categories of Laws," Gravis exined.


    "Primary and secondary?" Ste asked with furrowed brows. How could some categories be primary and others secondary? Laws were Laws, and they all had about the same strength as long as they were at the same level.


    "I can’t tell you why some categories are primary, and some are secondary," Gravis directly said. If he exined these things, he would need to exin to her why these four categories were necessary for bing a powerful God. That would open questions about how Gravis could know about Gods while being in a higher world.


    "So, let’s just go through the four primary categories of Laws," Gravis said.


    Gravis’ unwillingness to borate on several topics wasn’t to Ste’s liking. Did he truly know these things, or did he just put up an empty show of mystery?


    "I’ll be going from easy to perceive to hard to perceive," Gravis said.


    Easy to hard? Ste knew that Gravis was referring to categories, but the difficulty of understanding a Law didn’t depend on the category but on its tier. Gravis simply continued to make statements that didn’t seem to fit basic understanding of cultivation.


    "Wait a second," Ste said as she interrupted Gravis.


    "Yes?"


    Ste released a sigh. "You are saying a lot of things that don’t seem to fit the basics of cultivation. You should know that I can believe some of them without evidence due to my teacher’s words, but it’s bing harder and harder for me to believe you."


    "So," Ste said with some difort. She didn’t want to question Gravis, but she also couldn’t just ept such ims. "Could you please borate on how you know these things?"


    Gravis blinked a couple of times.


    "Please, understand where I’ming from," Ste said with more nervousness. "The basics of cultivatione from generations upon generations of Immortal Emperors, and we are just normal Immortals. You are basically saying that you know cultivation better than Immortal Emperors. This is very hard for me to believe."


    Gravis blinked a couple of times more.


    "I do know cultivation better than them," he said.


    Ste took a deep breath through her teeth. That was a humongous and arrogant im! However, she wanted to give Gravis a chance to exin himself instead of just dismissing his words as arrogance.


    "And what makes you think so?" Ste asked.


    "How powerful is the Battle-Strength of Immortal Emperors?" Gravis asked. "How powerful was their Battle-Strength when they have been Immortals?"


    Ste furrowed her brows. "About as strong as mine," she said.


    "And how powerful is my Battle-Strength?" Gravis asked.


    Ste was a bit confused when Gravis said that. They had the same Battle-Strength. After all, their fight had been a draw.


    ’Wait!’ Ste suddenly realized as her eyes opened wide.


    Shepletely forgot that Gravis was a Late Minor Cirction Immortal!


    As soon as Gravis had unveiled his true power, she had seen Gravis as an equal. She had seen Gravis as a rival and as a peak genius of the world, someone who could fight her on the same level.


    But Gravis was an entire Cirction below her!


    Ste took a deep breath as she remembered that the person that had nearly killed her was an entire Cirction below her.


    She had already said that the Immortal Emperors had been about as powerful as her when they had been Immortals.


    However, there were worlds between them and Gravis.


    Gravis was an absolutely abnormal freak that didn’t conform to basic cultivation!


    Gravis saw that Ste realized what he was getting at.


    "That’s my proof."
