Lightning Is the Only Way

"Greetings, Mortis," Siral said with a bow.

"Uhm," the forgotten person to Siral's left said.

"Your name is Yi Lu, right?" Gravis asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm Yi Lu!" Yi Lu said as he regained his confidence. "You are Gravis, right?"

Gravis nodded with a smile.

Yi Lu just looked at Gravis like he couldn't believe it.

This was that amazing person!

This was the person that Yi Lu always felt inferior to!

Yi Lu had gone through all of his Realms in a short period of time, but whenever he reached a new Realm, the memories of Gravis' previous Realm would be unlocked.

When Yi Lu reached the Energy Gathering Realm, he had seen what Gravis had done in the Body Tempering Stage.

Yi Lu already had had a Will-Aura when his full body was tempered. He had even managed to fight an Energy Gathering Realm Cultivator to a draw.

However, Gravis already had a Will-Aura before he even truly began to cultivate!

Even more, judging by Gravis' power, he had the ability to kill an Energy Gathering Realm Cultivator!

Fighting to a draw, winning, and killing was a huge difference, each one more difficult than the last.

When Yi Lu had seen that he couldn't keep up, he had tried to become even more outstanding! Gravis was more powerful than him, but he couldn't give up!

So, he put everything he had into Cultivation and even managed to kill someone two levels above him in the Energy Gathering Realm. This was powerful! This was enough, right?

Then, when Yi Lu reached the Spirit Forming Realm, he had seen Gravis' fight against an extremely powerful elder with the fire element.

This elder had been three levels above Gravis, and he had had an equally powerful body.

Instead of feeling that he had come closer to Gravis' power, he felt like the power difference became even bigger.

So, Yi Lu became crazier and crazier and even managed to kill someone two levels above him in the Spirit Forming Realm, which was far more difficult than killing someone two levels above oneself in the Energy Gathering Realm.

Then, when Yi Lu had reached the Unity Realm, he had seen Gravis' fight with some kind of Priest.

How could he compete with that!?

Luckily for Yi Lu, all the delicate memories of Gravis' journey in the lower world were hidden. Yi Lu didn't know about Gravis' enmity with the lower Heaven or the fact that Gravis' Spirit had been attuned to Destruction Lightning.

After unlocking that set of memories, Yi Lu felt that all the foreign memories in his Spirit had been exhausted.

There had been no more memories to unlock.
