Gravis wasn't quite sure what Sear meant with Cultivation Discussion. "What's this Cultivation Discussion that you're referring to?" he asked with a lifted eyebrow.
Sear laughed slightly. "It's actually pretty simple," Sear said while gesturing towards the others. "Have you wondered why we are talking like this even though our guilds should be at war?"
Gravis nodded. "That would've been my next question. Logically, you should be at each others' throats."
Sear looked at the others who were all busy doing their own things. "We are actually all old friends."
Gravis furrowed his brows. "How would you find friends with your guilds constantly warring with each other?"
Sear smiled slyly. "You see, we were already friends before we joined our respective Guilds."
Now Gravis looked at them with surprise. "Before you joined your guilds? Wouldn't that mean that you have all known each other before you even left the Body Tempering Realm?" he asked incredulously.
Having friends was nothing surprising, but five people that had met as Body Tempering cultivators and all managed to reach the Spirit Forming Realm seemed a little unreal. What were the chances of that happening?
When Sear saw the surprised expression of Gravis, he started laughing. "I know, right? We were just as surprised as time progressed and our power increased. Who would've expected five people from the Outer Continent, from the same city, to all manage to reach the Spirit Forming Realm? I sure didn't!"
Gravis could only nod in confirmation. This was basically a miracle.
Sear laughed slightly and scratched the back of his neck. "We didn't want to let our guilds destroy our friendship, so we all met and created this Cultivation Discussion. Every couple of months, we leave our guilds and meet up. When we meet, we just casually talk and tell each other what had happened recently."
Gravis looked to the ground in thought. "Aren't your Guild Masters suspicious about you all vanishing at the same time?" he asked.
Sear smiled. "They know what we're doing," he said with confidence.
Gravis lifted his head and looked into Sear's eyes. "They do? And they're fine with it?" he asked.
