Lightning Is the Only Way

Now, Gravis' interest was piqued, and he looked at what the guy had to offer. He was flying inside a wooden house with one floor. Keeping that whole thing floating probably needed some concentration. After all, a whole house, even if it was small and made out of wood, wasn't light. Gravis guessed that he would only be able to keep that thing floating for a couple of hours.

Gravis looked through the wares and saw some peculiar things. Artifacts, rings, weapons, and many different interesting things were displayed. Beside each object was a small sign that described the object in full detail. The writing was incredibly small, and mortals wouldn't even be able to see a letter.

Of course, people in the Unity Realm and stronger had powerful eyes and could also read with their Spirits. Apparently, that's how the sellers described their wares. After all, people who couldn't even read the writing probably also didn't have the money to buy the wares.

Gravis read through some descriptions and found something. "What's Nascent Nourishing?" he asked.

The seller rolled his eyes again. The kid didn't even know that? "Nascent Nourishing is the Realm above the Unity Realm. People also call it the Equalization Realm. I'm currently in the middle Stages of that Realm."

Gravis absorbed the knowledge like a dry sponge. Apparently, as soon as he had returned from the lower world, the restrictions that his father had put in place to keep cultivation secret had been lifted. 'I have a powerful will now, and seeing the distance of power won't make me despair anymore,' Gravis thought.

Gravis also finally learned the power of the seller. 'The middle Stage of Nascent Nourishing, huh? That's one and a half Realms higher than me. No wonder I feel like he could slap me to death. Even now, I feel nervousness inside of me by just standing near him. His power just feels overwhelming.'

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. 'I still can't feel the power of the people in the actual city, which makes them all many times stronger. I wonder how powerful those people are? I'm really only at the beginning of cultivation. Basically, every single person flying around here can slap me to death. If I didn't have such a powerful will, I might've become demotivated.'

"Oi, don't scare my customers with that ugly expression," the seller said, pulling Gravis out of his thoughts.

'Fuck, I really need to keep my thinking face in check,' he thought. "Sorry, I was lost in thought," Gravis said. "I noticed that you don't sell stuff at the middle or higher Stages of the Nascent Nourishing Realm. Is there a particular reason for that?" Gravis asked in interest.

The seller laughed a little. "You're a smart one, eh? You immediately noticed that," the seller said with a smirk. "Of course I have stuff for these Stages. I'm a tycoon, after all. Yet, I don't carry them with me," he said.

Gravis' brows furrowed. "Why? Wouldn't you earn more money by selling those?"
