<h4>Chapter 939 - 939 – Comprehending Together </h4>


    Gravis and Ste yed for several hours, just traveling across the stars,ughing all the time.


    After they were done, they simply floated in the vast nothingness of space. Ste was lying on Gravis’ chest as she looked at the passing stars. The stars in this world were just like the stars in Gravis’ previous middle world. They were simply several-kilometers-wide spheres of pure Energy.


    Many Cultivators in the past tried to absorb these stars to reach a higher Realm, but some kind of force always stopped them. For some reason, these stars were unabsorbable by living beings.


    "I wish this moment couldst forever," Ste said with longing.


    Gravis chuckled. "The time we have avable together now could as well be described as limitless," Gravis said slowly. "We have resources.. We have power. We have freedom. We have time."


    Gravis lightly moved Ste’s head so that she looked into his eyes.


    "Our time together has only just begun," Gravis said slowly as he lightly kissed her.


    Ste only smiled contently as she closed her eyes in bliss.


    Gravis was right.


    They had so much time now.


    There was no pressure.


    They could take as long as they wanted.


    They simply floated in space, just talking for several days.


    Yet, eventually, the two of them wanted to do something else.


    However, they would still be together.


    Ste sat down in the nothingness of space as she concentrated on the Law of Cold.


    Gravis thought that it was also a good time for him toprehend the Law of Cold. So, he simply sat down beside Ste as he closed his eyes.


    For Gravis, this was a new form ofprehending Laws.


    In the past, he had always lost himself in the Laws.


    He had been alone.


    There had been only the Laws and him.


    However, now, Gravis felt Ste close to him as heprehended the Law of Cold.


    Even though Gravis still lost himself in the Law, he felt like there were now three things instead of two.


    Now, there were the Laws, Ste, and Gravis.


    Gravis and Ste didn’tmunicate with each other while theyprehended the Laws, but Gravis felt like the two of them were walking around an icy beach, looking at all the oddities.


    One could say Gravis felt like he was on vacation.


    What the two of them hadn’t noticed was that their Laws of Empathy had connected with each other. They were currently not physically connected but emotionally connected. It was like their Spirits were looking at the Laws together, and their Spirits shared some minorprehensions.


    In essence, they were trulyprehending the Law of Cold together.


    In fact, this method ofprehending Laws was even faster than the normal one, but not by too much. The speed was around 40% faster.


    After an unknown amount of time, Gravis felt that Ste was leaving for a different ce.


    However, Gravis didn’t be nervous.


    He knew that they were together.


    The fact that Ste left meant that she hadprehended the Law of Cold. After all, she had been in this ce for a thousand years longer than Gravis.


    Gravis remained in the ethereal icy beach as he looked at it, alone.


    Yet, Gravis didn’t feel lonely.


    Now that Ste was with him, this feeling of istion felt more like quiet and peaceful solitude.


    Some timeter, Ste returned to the ethereal icy beach.


    Gravis felt like Ste grabbed his hand as she pulled him along the beach, showing him everything.


    They were like a couple on a beach. One of them was running around the beach, showing the other exciting things they found, while the other one simply listened to their partner.


    Eventually, Gravis had seen the entire icy beach, and he shot onest look at the cold beach, smiling with content.


    BOOOOM!


    Gravisprehended the element-neutral level four Law of Cold easily.


    After that, he also left the icy beach.


    Gravis took a deep breath as he opened his eyes. He looked forward and saw Ste seemingly sleeping on hisp. Her eyes were closed, and she had a happy smile on her face.


    Gravis couldn’t stop smiling warmly as he saw her.


    "You’re already done?" Ste asked as she opened her eyes.


    Gravis nodded.


    "That was quite fast," Ste said. "It has barely taken you 300 years."


    Gravis raised his eyebrows. "That really is quite fast. I was expecting 500 years."


    Ste nodded as she leaned her head on Gravis’ chest. "I think it’s because we have looked at the Laws together."


    "Have you also felt it?" Ste asked quietly. "It was like we were on an icy beach."


    Gravis nodded. "I felt it, and I think that’s the work of our two Laws of Empathy. Apparently, we don’t need to be physically connected to share our experiences."


    Ste had to chuckle a bit. "I’m d that we have an alternative. I mean, I don’t mind a physical connection, but this is much more rxing. It also feels purer."


    Gravis agreed. Sex was nice, but doing it all the time could be boring. At some point, one needed a break. Otherwise, it would just be stale.


    "Have you already finished the level five Law of Temperature?" Gravis asked.


    Ste nodded. "Yes, I only needed 50 years to finish my Law of Cold. After that, I directly ate the Law Comprehension Life Fruits."


    Ste’s expression becameplex suddenly as she looked at the stars.


    "I actually still can’t believe it," she said.


    "Believe what?"


    "That I already know four level five Laws as an Immortal King," Ste said. "It has been an uncountable number of years since this had happened thest time. I should be the most powerful Immortal King in the world right now, but I don’t feel any different."


    "I just feel normal. I also don’t feel like I am that much more powerful than the other Immortal Kings."


    Gravis chuckled a bit. "I know why you feel like this."


    "You do?" Ste asked with surprise.


    "Yes," Gravis said.


    Then, Gravis smirked.


    "You don’t feel like the most powerful Immortal King because you aren’t."


    Then, he pointed with his thumb at his chest.


    "I am!"


    Ste groaned as she lightly punched Gravis.


    "I’m not counting you!" she said with fake annoyance.


    Gravis chuckled a bit more. "No, but seriously, I know how you feel. I also went through simr feelings in the lower and middle worlds. You have been born in the higher world, while I have gone through two other ones. When you reach the power of the most elite geniuses, you feel powerful. Yet, when you jump above that bracket and upy a league of your own, you, ironically, don’t feel as powerful."


    "That’s because you have no one on your Realm topare yourself to anymore."


    "When you reach that level, you can onlypare yourself to two things, people of higher Realms and yourself. Obviously, you wouldn’t feel super powerful then," Gravis exined.


    Ste silently listened to Gravis’ words and nodded.


    "That makes sense," she said slowly. "You really went through a lot. I have spent my entire life in a Peak Sect, but you went through so many different worlds. I guess you simply have more life experience than me."


    "Maybe," Gravis answered.


    The two of them continued talking until Gravis remembered something.


    ’I wonder how Mortis is doing,’ Gravis thought. ’He was stillprehending the level five Law of Lightning Maniption when I startedprehending the Law of Cold. Is he done by now?’


    ’Can I even check that? I should be able to.’


    Gravis thought about several Lightning Laws and thought about how he could better manipte lightning better.


    A sea of categorized and ordered information came to Gravis’ mind. It was like he had already learned everything there was.


    All this information was new to Gravis, but it didn’t feel new.


    He felt like he had alreadyprehended something like this in the past.


    It was like Gravis had already manipted his lightning with such proficiency for his entire life.


    BZZZ!


    Gravis summoned some Divine Lightning and felt its power.


    Sure enough, it was a bit more powerful, a bit faster, and a bit more efficient.


    Ste looked with interest at Gravis’ lightning.


    "Is Mortis done?" she asked.


    "I think so," Gravis said. "Let me ask."


    "Hey, just to make sure," Gravis transmitted to Mortis. "You are done with the level five Law of Lightning Maniption, right? You know, because normally, I have some kind of enlightening feeling when Iprehend a new Law, but right now, I just feel like I’ve always had this Law."


    "Yes, I finished around 280 years ago," Mortis answered neutrally.


    Gravis scratched the back of his head. ’Well, seems like Iprehended a level five Law just like that. Sure feels weird.’


    "By the way, Mortis, I justprehended the element-neutral Law of Cold. Just for your info. Would be nice if you could give me a heads-up when youprehend the next one. Otherwise, it feels weird to know a Law but not know that I know it," Gravis said.


    "Fine," Mortis said. "Then, just for your info, I’m currentlyprehending the level five Law of Lightning’s Supreme Speed. Shouldn’t take too long."


    Gravis nodded. "Sounds good. I will probably check out the element-neutral level four Law of Heat. Ste will probably also help me along the way. Should only take around 300 years. After that, I’ll see what we canprehend next."


    "Fine," Mortis answered, cutting off the connection.


    Gravis had to chuckle and turned to Ste. "It sure is weird that Iprehended a level five Law without even noticing."


    If anyone else heard that, they would turn green from envy.


    Comprehending a level five Law just like this?


    Yet, Ste wasn’t envious.


    Yes, Mortis allowed Gravis to learn Laws much faster, but Gravis was also intrinsically bound to Mortis.


    She wouldn’t want to be in Gravis’ shoes.
