Lightning Is the Only Way

Whooom!

As Gravis willed it, his lightning and Spirit connected. It was effortless, just like flipping over his hand. He felt them connect, but he wasn't able to move his power around. The reason for that was probably because his body wasn't connected yet.

The connection with his body wasn't that easy to establish. Gravis felt some kind of barrier isolating his body. As Gravis felt that, he frowned. 'My Spirit and lightning are far stronger than my body, which doesn't create harmony. It feels like my body is repelling my lightning and Spirit. It's like wanting to push two magnets of the same polarity together,' Gravis thought.

His eyes narrowed, and he concentrated his will on the connection. 'Connect!' he shouted in his mind.

Sure enough, he felt the resistance of his body becoming weaker, but it was still not connected. 'Using my will works, but I have already used a considerable amount of force, yet it didn't connect. This probably won't be easy.'

Suddenly, Gravis' eyes shone. 'Is that why the people in this world say that a balance between the centers of power is necessary to achieve Unity? That would also explain why such a powerful will is necessary. Connecting my Spirit and lightning felt easy, but that was because my will is way more powerful than the average cultivator.'

Gravis watched his body with his Spirit in interest. 'So, the further apart the centers of power are in power, the more will it requires to connect them. Since everyone just reaches the Unity Realm as soon as they can, people wouldn't go through more tempering, and therefore, wouldn't have more powerful wills. Where would they even find such tempering in the first place?'

'That's why they think that a perfect balance is necessary. Having a perfect balance just lowers the requirement of the Unity Realm down to a level one Unity Will for the Tree Stage, and a level two Unity Will for the Self Stage.'

Gravis' eyes shone again. 'I remember the old man shouting that he was feeling the connection as soon as he reached his level two Unity Will. This probably means that he didn't feel it before. The fact that I am still feeling the connection faintly means that I can achieve it.'

'Though, the fact that I can only feel it faintly probably means that I barely fulfill the requirement. This will probably take a long time and a lot of concentration.'

Gravis sighed.
