Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis returned to the Sect to check up on things. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, which meant that the enemy hadn't shown their hand yet.

After talking to Surem for a little bit, Gravis told him that he knew what Surem had meant previously and that Gravis would be concentrating on comprehending Weapon Laws in the meantime. Surem only smiled and wished Gravis luck.

However, Gravis also told Surem that he should inform Gravis if something happened. Gravis wanted some real tempering. Surem confirmed that he would inform Gravis later.

With that done, Gravis went into a forest and stopped beside a lake. Gravis enjoyed comprehending Laws beside lakes since this scenery reminded him of the middle world. Gravis was a social person, but he didn't want to comprehend Weapon Laws with the other members of the Unrestrained Sect. If they saw how he comprehended his Laws, they might ask annoying questions.

About three days passed until something happened. Gravis still hadn't made any headway in creating his own Focus, but he hadn't expected that he would be able to make any kind of progress before the enemy arrived anyway.

"Junior brother," the voice of a woman appeared near Gravis. Her voice sounded very careful and probing, which was normal in the Unrestrained Sect. If they directly broke someone's Weapon Cultivation, the person might get their connection with their weapon destroyed. By talking carefully and quietly, it would be more akin to a knock than an interruption.

"What is it?" Gravis asked as he opened his eyes. Gravis didn't follow the Synchronization Comprehension method, which meant that he could get interrupted whenever. It would just be annoying to fall back into the rhythm of comprehension.

The woman was a bit surprised that Gravis immediately answered. Normally, Cultivators finished their comprehension first before answering to not anger their weapons.

However, Gravis didn't appear annoyed or angered at all. It seemed like this was nothing but a minor inconvenience to him.

"Excuse me, junior brother," she said, "but our Sect Master has an offer for you. It is regarding a challenge to several of our mines."

Gravis narrowed his eyes. 'So, they have arrived.'

"Alright," Gravis said as he stood up. "I'll go there right away."

"Thank you, junior brother," she said. "I wish you luck."

Gravis nodded and teleported away.
