Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis walked closer to Fear City. Even though he knew that danger could wait for him inside its borders, he still went through with it. This was only a city, and even if it were an outpost of the Darkness Sect, it would only have some Sapling Stage cultivators at most. If they didn't attack him, he wouldn't care, but if they did, this would serve as a good opportunity for tempering his will. Such a fight would be supremely difficult, but there was a chance of victory.

"Gravis, wait," came a voice in Gravis' Spirit, and he quickly narrowed his eyes, readying his saber. He didn't notice where the voice came from, and he didn't feel any Spirit encompassing him, which made him take this situation seriously.

Gravis knew that if he couldn't tell the voice's origin, it meant that the person speaking to him was talking to him from outside his Spirit's range. Gravis knew that someone at the initial stage of Spirit Forming only had a range of ten kilometers. One shouldn't forget that Gravis' Spirit had a range of 50 kilometers! The speaking person had to be, at least, in the Sapling Stage. On top of that, they knew his name, which didn't bode well.

"Over here," Gravis heard a physical voice from his right. He snapped his head to the direction and saw some grey-robed individuals. Gravis hadn't noticed their arrival, which made him nervous. On top of that, he could see them with his eyes, but not with his Spirit. Inside his Spirit's vision, the area was blank.

"Who are you?" asked Gravis with a harsh voice, ready to strike at any point.

"I'll tell you later who we are, but first, you should stay away from Fear City," said the one in the lead with a gruff voice. Judging by his voice, he was an elderly person.

Gravis narrowed his eyes further. "Why?" he asked simply.

"Because you'll die if you enter," the leading figure answered.

"How would you know that?" Gravis asked back.

The elder laughed a little. "I know what you're thinking. Who is this person? He clearly doesn't know my power. Right?"

Gravis didn't answer.

the elder started chuckling, grating on Gravis' nerves. "Each world sends one talented and powerful teacher into the other one.
