As always, Gravis spent the next century in peace. By now, he had gotten very used to talking with others again. A lot of time had passed thanks to the Elements of Core and Graphite, but that didn't make a difference. 

Gravis was sure that he could now spend over 20,000 years in Law Comprehension without any adverse changes to his personality. His resistance towards these changes had grown a lot. 

The following century passed just as all the previous ones. 

However, after Gravis' break was over, he didn't immediately leave. No, this time, he had some Laws to comprehend here!

Gravis informed the others in the clearing that they shouldn't disturb him and went over to that one fern that continued growing all the time.

Gravis decided to first check out the Minor Laws of Plant Growth since they would take the least time. These were level one and level two Laws, and their complexity couldn't be compared to all these level four Laws Gravis had already comprehended.

Gravis had already comprehended the Laws of Body Growth, the Laws of Body Composition, and the Laws of Plant Composition. The Laws of Plant Growth were absent. 

The five individual Laws of Body Composition had been combined into the level two Law of Body Composition. 

The five individual Laws of Plant Composition had been combined into the level two Law of Plant Composition.

Then, the two Laws of Body Composition and Plant Composition had been combined into the level three Law Life Composition. 

However, the Life Laws were not the same as the Law of the Dead World. There was more to life than just simple composition. This meant that there had to be several more categories of Laws that made up the Law of Life. 

Another reason why Gravis was sure that this wasn't enough was the fact that the Law of Life Composition was only a level three Law while the Law of the Dead World had been a level four Law. Additionally, all these powerful alchemists in Gravis' homeworld knew a Law called the Law of Life, which was considered to be even harder to comprehend than the Law of the Dead World.

This meant that there were probably two other categories of life that would create a level three Law each, and Gravis was certain that one of them was the Law of Growth. 

The five individual Laws of Body Growth had been combined into the level two Law of Body Growth.

So, wasn't it logical that there would also be five level one Laws for the Law of Plant Growth?

Lastly, according to logic, the level two Law of Body Growth and the level two Law of Plant Growth would combine to become the level three Law of Growth.

With that, Gravis would have two of the three required Laws for the Law of Life. 

There had to be a third category that Gravis didn't know about, and he guessed that it had probably something to do with death or degeneration. Plants and animals died so that new plants and animals could be created. It probably had something to do with some kind of cycle or something, and it would probably also be split into the categories of the body and of the plant. 

However, Gravis wouldn't be able to finish this Law in this higher world.

Why?

Because Gravis couldn't find any fitting Law Comprehension Areas for the Low-Tier Body Laws. Finding plants was easy, but finding a ton of weaker beasts would take a long time. Additionally, Gravis didn't really want to catch so many and play psychotic scientist with them. He didn't like doing that.

As soon as he returned to the highest world, he would have plenty of opportunities to comprehend these Laws. There was no way that such an opportunity-driven and old society wouldn't have found a way to make money off of that. 

However, Gravis could comprehend the Laws of Plant Growth right now. Why not? They were only a couple of level one Laws anyway. Additionally, if Gravis had the ability to grow plants, he might be able to make a ton of money.

How did beasts cultivate?

They ate other beasts. That was it.

How did humans cultivate?

They absorbed Immortal Stones or ate pills.

How were pills created?

An alchemist would take rare and valuable plants and concentrate their beneficial effect.

So, by extension, it meant that there had to be rare and valuable plants out there that boosted one's Cultivation. Not only that, but Gravis had also seen that Samantha and Stella had far more Energy than normal. There were surely also plants that boosted the maximum Energy capacity of Cultivators.

Additionally, Stella's body was very powerful for a human. This meant that there was even a likelihood of finding plants that increased one's physical power.

Sadly, both of these things wouldn't help Gravis directly. Gravis didn't exactly have an Energy capacity, and his body was already as powerful as it got. Maybe not even the plants that increased one's Cultivation would help him. The medicinal power of these plants would probably enter Gravis' Spirit and get annihilated by all the lightning in there.

However, this meant that Gravis could sell all the powerful plants.

Yet, how long did it take for these plants to be born and to mature? 

Probably a long time. 

This was one of the reasons why Gravis wanted to comprehend the Laws of Plant Growth. With this Law, Gravis might be able to accelerate the growth of the plants. Additionally, with his Life Ring, he could carry them with him. Lastly, Gravis could also use his Law of Time on top of that. 

The human territories were bereft of anything valuable. All the ores had owners, and every wild plant that was worth a damn would have long since been picked. 

This meant that the beast territories were the only territories with natural and unowned treasures that remained. 

Gravis was already planning to temper himself in these territories for a while, and knowing the Laws of Plant Growth will help him that much more. 

Gravis needed more resources!

However, for now, Gravis had to comprehend the Laws of Plant Growth first.

So, time passed by again until…

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

'And there they are,' Gravis thought with a smirk. 'All five different level one Laws of Plant Growth have been comprehended. Understanding them doesn't even count as a joke in front of all these element-related Battle Laws.'

'How long did it take me?'

Gravis checked his timer, and when he saw how much time had passed, he laughed loudly.

'Seven months!' he thought with a smirk. 'Seven months for five Laws. That's nothing!'

'Anyway,' Gravis thought as he closed his eyes. 'Time for the level two Law of Plant Growth. Let's see…'

Gravis closed his eyes and thought about all the knowledge he had learned over the last seven months.

'Oh, that's easy!'

BOOOOM!

And Gravis comprehended the level two Law of Plant Growth!

It barely took him a couple hours.

'Next one, the level three Law of Growth,' Gravis thought.

Then, he concentrated again.

Time passed.

BOOOOM!

'And done!' Gravis thought. 'How long? Ten years, huh?'

'Level three Laws sure are harder than level two Laws. However, ten years is nothing in comparison to five hundred years or so.'

'And with that, my small appetizer is over,' Gravis thought. 'Everything from now on will be level four Laws.'

Gravis stood up and stretched. After that, he went to Arc and said his goodbyes. They probably wouldn't see each other again until Gravis had fought his eventual, deadly enemy.

Gravis broke Arc's emblem and was teleported back into the Sect Alliance's territory. 

After Gravis arrived, he quickly flew away from the Sect Alliance's territory until he was in a corner of the map that Liran had given him. No Law Comprehension Areas or Sects were close to this spot. Additionally, this area bordered on even weaker lands. The Core Regions were on the other side of the Sect Alliance's territory. 

The only beings Gravis would find here would be Law Comprehension Realm Cultivators and Nascent Nourishing Realm Cultivators. 

The Sect Alliance didn't care about these territories at all since there were far too few Law Comprehension Areas, and the ones that actually were there were too low-quality. 

There were some scattered, valuable resource nodes, but the Sect Alliance simply had some Immortals stand watch over them. 

There was nothing else of interest. 

Gravis entered a random spot in the ground with his Law of Graphite's Manipulation. He passed through the earth like it was water, and Gravis stopped about 20,000 Kilometers deep in the ground. 

The heat and gravity were pretty powerful here. Back when he comprehended the Law of Gravity, Gravis was at a similar depth. This had been just powerful enough to resist the gravity and heat but not die.

However, back then, Gravis had been a level five King. Right now, Gravis was a Peak Immortal. There were two entire Realms between them. 

Because of that, this little bit of heat and gravity didn't even bother Gravis a little bit. It wouldn't be any different than being in a warm room.

No Spirit Sense would be able to see him here due to the resistance of earth and metal in their way. 

No one knew that Gravis was here.

No one would be able to find him here.

This was the perfect spot to seclude himself.

'Well, that's it. Now, there's nothing but Laws left.'

'However, what should be my first Law?'
