Lightning Is the Only Way

Old Man Lightning and Lasar had learned to trust in Gravis' imagination. Due to him not being raised in this world, he had a broader view, which enabled him to think outside the box.

"Oh? Now, I'm interested. Tell us!" Old Man Lightning said.

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. "Think about the situation like this. You would need 50 years to start your tempering again, so it will definitely take longer than 50 years to reach the Unity Realm for you, right?"

Lasar nodded.

Gravis lifted a finger. "Now, how long would it take you to recultivate from the Sapling Stage?" Gravis asked.

Lasar furrowed his brows. "I am halfway through the Tree Stage right now, so it will only take five years to return to my peak, but from the end of the Sapling Stage, I would probably need over ten years. The beginning of the Sapling Stage would be 20 years."

Gravis smirked. "Right, isn't that shorter than 50 years?"

Lasar still furrowed his brows. "I guess it is, but-"

WACK!

Old Man Lightning hit Lasar on the head with his cane. "Are you stupid? Don't you get it?" He asked with annoyance.

Lasar thought about this for a while. Then, after some seconds, his eyes widened, and he clapped thigh in realization. "Of course!" he shouted, and Gravis smiled. "In the Self Stage, I can only temper myself against others in the Self Stage. The same holds true for the Tree Stage. Sadly, due to me going through the tenth Stage of Magic Gathering, no one in the Tree Stage would fight me. My Unity Will would also make fighting against high-grade Spirit beasts too easy."

"But at the Sapling Stage, I could temper myself again since I would have plenty of opponents," Lasar said.

Gravis continued smiling and nodded. "Yes. With your bigger storage of Energy and your stronger will, you can probably manage to fight Tree Stage cultivators or high-grade Spirit Beasts. Though, you would have to fight one Stage higher than yourself." Then, Gravis shrugged. "After all, if I can fight two Stages above myself, you should be able to fight one Stage higher."

Whoosh!

Gravis evaded a cane. "Stop being so arrogant!" Old Man Lightning said with frustration.
