The table in the dining room was rectangular with 6 seats placed around it, 2 by the sides and 1 at each end.

At the moment, Seth currently occupied a seat at the end, this action of his earning no rebuke from anyone around the table, and on his right side of the table were Alice and Sonia, with Alice sitting closest to him, while to his left side were Dorian and Adriana, with Dorian being closest.

Thankfully, after seemingly consuming a rank 9 beast and then being heavily fed by Sonia yesterday, Seth's voracious need for food was satisfied, so at the moment he gently consumed his food, savoring every bite and downing a glass of whatever was the sweet liquid in his glass.

"So Sonia," Seth said, his voice drawing the attention of everyone at the table," what is so special about Lukta forest," he asked, his curiosity on Dorian's transformation a secondary priority.

"Sp..special" Sonia stuttered, Flustered when all eyes at the table turned towards her, " master other than once housing a rank 7 beast, nothing else about Lukta forest can be defined as special, "she said.

"No, think harder, isn't there anything about Lukta forest that makes it odd, maybe some minor difference that has no impact, but nonetheless is kind of Unique" Seth persistently asked, a frown on his face as he rubbed his chin.

Sonia seeing Seth's expression knew that he was serious, so she took her time to think over his question, taking up to a minute to end her brainstorming before replying to him.

"Though there is no research backing it, veteran cultivators who have adventured into several other forests, when they enter Lukta forest, all comment that Lukta gives them the greatest feeling of danger despite the forest never producing tragic stories.

Well, there is also the fact despite the recent incident, Lukta forest has one of the lowest occurrences of beast tides, despite the fact that its inner zones were ignored most of the time when the rank 7 beast was still alive which would have led to a massive increase in the beast population, but the rare beast tide events have been chalked up to the forest's beasts being a lot calmer than other beasts "Sonia completed.

"Master is there something wrong with the forest," Sonia asked.

"Perhaps" Seth answered her, then went on to ask another question.



"At the moment what is the highest beast rank to have been recorded to ever exist in the forest".

"Rank 7, the rank 7 beast which was found dead, eaten up by some other beast". Sonia replied, not noticing Seth's eyes looking the other way

"Silence descended upon the table as everyone tried to figure out where Seth was going with his questions, and then the silence was broken once again, but this time by Alice.

"Are you the one responsible for the formation of the Storm crater?" she asked all of a sudden while looking at Seth, but her question only earned her an ignorant look from Seth.

"Storm crater, " Seth asked.

"The crater which is full of never-ending lightning and fire said to be caused by the battle between a rank 8 beast and some unknown person" Alice explained.

"Ohh that, yeah that happened when me and me and Slowly's mom went at it," Seth said with a smile

"Slowly's mom," Alice said inquisitively.

"Yes, the first time I came to Lukta forest, I subdued a pet and named it Slowly, but sometime later her mother who was rank 8 beast came pursuing us, and well that led to an eventual battle between us, and me indirectly creating what you call the storm crater" Seth explained.

"Slowly, as in the mount you rode when you first came here" Sonia suddenly asked,

"Yes," Seth said with a nod of his head.

"And you found her in Lukta forest," Sonia asked again, earning another nod from Seth.

"That's impossible, in all of Lukta history, that species of bird has never been recorded here" Sonia firmly said" not to mention, that if am understanding you correctly, then you're saying that Slowly's mother, the rank 8 beast is also from Lukta forest" Sonia hesitatingly asked.

"Yes, she is," Seth said with a chuckle.

"Impossible" Sonia whispered taken aback, unable to determine if Seth was joking or not given his weird tendencies.

"Lies" a voice that had quietened a while ago, once again spoke, "Since Alice and Dorian are not going to say it, then am going to confront you on your lies".

"Oh," Seth said, interest building in him while Alice turned to Adriana wondering what tact the woman was up to.

"So what did I lie about," Seth asked, having a bite of the spicy ribs on his plate.

"When most people see the storm crate, what has them impressed and terrorized is its massive size and burning flames, but such a feat isn't impossible for 3rd stage Kaisers and is incapable of causing the global tension which is currently going on.





"Have you ever heard of laws Evary Seth?" Adriana asked with a smirk, and when Seth shook his head in denial, her smirk only got wider.

"Seeing as you don't even know about laws, then my point has already been made, but am going to explain it to you," Adriana said.

"The lightning and fire in the storm crater have been determined to contain traces of qi natural qi and mysteriously qi at the cadet stage, but what makes the crater truly interesting, is the laws within it, laws which are advanced beyond anything earth has ever seen, laws that have given a cadet stage qi the power to combat qi from a rank 8 beast.

It is these laws that make the fire and lightning in the crater burn without end, and unless you want to tell us you fought a rank 8 beast at the cadet level and also possess such an advanced mastery of laws, then your story is a lie.

"you must quite the capabilities to have been able to accurately make those deductions, Seth said" and yes, I did fight a rank 8 beast when I was in the cadet state, and it would seem I also possessed the power of laws back then.

"Possessed," Alice asked,

"Yes possessed, I kind of lost that ability some time ago." Seth sheepishly said.

"What a convenient excuse, "Adriana sneered, " and just so you know, it's impossible for someone to lose their laws, ".
