Chapter 205: 205 – Surprise!

Gravis traveled for another hour until he reached the Wind Wall. As always, the Wind Wall looked imposing and breathtaking, even with his newfound power. Gravis currently stood around five kilometers away from the Wind Wall, looking at its splendor. Though his emotions quickly changed from awe to cautiousness.

'I haven't noticed this before, but my Spirit can't reach the other side of the Wind Wall,' he thought as he furrowed his brows. 'If I still had my Elemental Synchronicity, I could probably ignore this Wind Wall, but right now, it's blocking my Spirit.'

When his Spirit hit the Wind Wall, it was torn apart and was scattered by the violent wind. As soon as part of his Spirit got torn off and left the main part of his Spirit's affected area, he lost every connection with it. When he had left for the Middle-Continent from the Core-Continent, he hadn't paid attention to that. At that point, he had been too busy caring about everything else. Especially the loss of his Elemental Synchronicity had weighed on his mind during that time.

'My Spirit's area is already many times bigger than the area of other cultivators, yet this Wind Wall still blocks it. This changes things tremendously,' he thought, furrowing his brows even more.

Why was he so affected by the Wind Wall blocking his Spirit?

If he were an ordinary cultivator, he might not have cared. As soon as he crossed the Wind Wall, he would be able to use his Spirit normally again. The problem with all this was that Gravis' enemy was this lower Heaven. Wouldn't this be a perfect spot for an ambush?

Yet, another thought appeared in his mind. He was in the Spirit Forming Realm now, so only cultivators with a higher level than him were a danger. This lower Heaven already had had difficulties controlling Energy Beasts. As for humans? That was even more difficult. What could Heaven even do to him right now?

Gravis calmed down as he had these thoughts. Heaven wouldn't be able to make such powerful beasts and cultivators move to such a specific location. Even if it had managed that, it would have needed them to start moving around a day ago to make the time fit. Gravis had made a break on his journey, and even now, he was waiting before the Wind Wall. The timing of Heaven, if it managed to do that, would be way off.

On top of that, he stood only five kilometers in front of the Wind Wall. A supremely powerful Heavenborn would have already used their Elemental Synchronicity to look through the wall. A Heavenborn that could kill him with confidence would need to be at Sapling Stage, at least. If there were such a person, they would have already noticed Gravis by now. Yet, no one had attacked him.

Gravis rubbed his chin in deep thought. 'I haven't been attacked yet, so that means that if there is an enemy, it won't be a super powerful Heavenborn. That means it could either be several semi-powerful Heavenborn, one very powerful cultivator who is not a Heavenborn, or several semi-powerful normal cultivators.'

'The worst-case scenario is a Heavenborn at the sapling stage, but the chances of that are minuscule. After that, it would be a normal cultivator at the Tree Stage, though those are Sect Leader level characters. None of those would appear just for me. Also, I have never offended any Elemental Sect. Even if I did, the Sect Leader wouldn't personally go out to kill me.'

Gravis nodded his head. 'The only possible, real danger would be several Heavenborn at the Seed-Stage or several normal cultivators at the Sapling Stage. There could also be just nothing. No reason to wait!'

Why not retreat and enter the Core-Continent from another spot? If there were a real possibility of an overpowered Heavenborn or cultivator to appear, Gravis would have done just that. That was because he couldn't fight those. Yet, several strong people were fightable. Could he die by entering the Core-Continent like this? Of course, but he needed genuine tempering. Dying was always a possibility.

Gravis closed in on the Wind Wall and quickly entered. He used his lightning to keep himself straight. Gravis quickly managed to jump out at the other side of the Wind Wall, and his Spirit encompassed the surrounding 50 kilometers again. Yet, he didn't need his Spirit to see what was in front of him.

Several people sat at a campfire just a hundred meters away from him. They had all talked with each other calmly until they had felt Gravis' Spirit. Everyone turned towards him, and Gravis actually noticed some familiar faces.

There were five people in total, all at the initial stage of Spirit Forming. Gravis released a hidden sigh. Even if they were enemies, as long as they remained at the initial stage, his Will-Aura would make all of them helpless. On top of that, he had not offended those people, except for one. He even knew three of them.

The three people he recognized were all Vice-Guild Masters of different Elemental Guilds in the Middle-Continent. One was a Vice-Guild Master of the Wind Guild. Gravis had met him two times. Once, when he went to the Wind Guild for Wendy, and another time when he had revisited them.

Another person that he knew was the Vice-Guild Master of the Fire Guild, who lived in the Earth Guild as a forger. He had watched as Gravis fought the Guild Master and Vice-Guild Master just some days ago.

Speaking of, the other person was surprisingly the Vice-Guild Master of the Earth Guild, whom he had beaten black and blue. Judging by his face, he was not happy seeing Gravis. His face had already transformed into an unrecognizable grimace.

Gravis didn't recognize the other two people, but it was easy to guess who they were based on how their Spirits felt. One was a woman with waving blue hair with a tranquil expression. Her Spirit felt comforting and soft to Gravis, which meant she was either the Guild Master or Vice-Guild Master of the Water Guild. Though, based on the other three all being Vice-Guild Masters, Gravis guessed that she was also one.

The last person was a black-haired man, wearing black robes and a mask. The mask was completely white and blank at the front, even covering his eyes. Well, not using one's eyes wouldn't be so bad in the Spirit Forming Realm. They had their Spirits after all. Gravis guessed that this person was a Vice-Guild Master of the Darkness Guild. His Spirit felt greedy and patient.

"Hey there, Gravis!" sent the Vice-Guild Master of the Fire Guild, waving his hand. "Remember how I asked you where you would be going? I wanted to surprise you!"

Gravis lifted his eyebrows. Surprise him? "You wanted to surprise me? Did you all wait for me?" he asked, walking closer.

"Tch," spat the Vice-Guild Master of the Earth Guild. "I wouldn't have come if I knew that you were the person we were waiting for. Sear said that we were waiting for one of his friends to discuss our experiences. Who knew that his friend would be you?" he said with disdain.

Sear was probably the name of the Vice-Guild Master of the Fire Guild since he was the only one knowing that Gravis would appear here. Gravis didn't particularly care about what the Vice-Guild Master of the Earth Guild said. To him, it was only the squabbling of a weakling.

"I actually don't mind," said the Vice-Guild Master of the Darkness Guild. "Gravis has killed a lot of my disciples, yes, but he had shown incredible cunning by doing this. On top of that, everyone already knows that he is not a Heavenborn. His cunningness has earned him my respect."

Gravis was a little surprised. He had thought that the Darkness Guild would hate him for the disciples that he had killed. Apparently, he had been mistaken. Though, it was no surprise that everyone already knew that he was no Heavenborn. He had basically told everyone he talked to.

"I also don't mind," said the Vice-Guild Master of water with a gentle voice. "I have heard a lot about him, and I am interested in getting to know him," she said, playfully winking at Gravis.

'Is she coming onto me?' Gravis thought in surprise.

"I also don't mind," said the Vice-Guild Master of wind, "I consider Gravis a friend. With him joining, our discussions will only get more interesting!"

Sear looked at what everyone had said and smiled. "four for and one against Gravis joining. So it's approved," he said. Then, he stood up and walked to Gravis, offering his hand.

"Do you want to join the Cultivation Discussion?" he asked with a smile.
