Female Novel
Chapter 242
The surroundings exploded violently with Destruction Lightning, surprising Gravis. This was not just normal lightning, but his veryown Destruction Lightning. What had happened? He also felt his lightning storage emptying to about 50%. He had involuntarilyunloaded 50% of his lightning into the surroundings.
One had to know that Gravis’ storage had nearly tripled. This 50% was equivalent to 150% of his previous storage. This was a lotof lightning! Luckily, the ground was made of Balzar while the tree remained unaffected. After all, this involuntary release oflightning didn't have Gravis' will behind it, making it just a stronger version of natural lightning.
Also, no disciple stood close to the tree, saving them from an untimely death. Gravis couldn't imagine what would happen if hewere to kill tens of disciples by accident. Though, Gravis guessed that it wasn't his lack of Karmic Luck that achieved that, but thepositive Karmic Luck of the disciples. After all, without Heaven's interference, their positive Karmic Luck still worked.
Still, the explosion raged into the surroundings, creating a shockwave that destroyed the ground and a couple of buildings.Everyone looked in shock at the explosion. Where did that come from?
After less than a second, the explosion calmed down. Gravis was still confused about what had happened. Why did his lightningsuddenly go out of control?
WACK! BZZZZ!
The cane of Old Man Lightning hit Gravis again, but Gravis’ lightning involuntarily attacked the cane as it came closer, travelingalong the cane's surface to Old Man Lightning. The cane still hit Gravis, but not as strongly. Instead, he was more shocked abouthis own lightning going out of control again.
Old Man Lightning felt the lightning going into him, but since he was four Stages higher than Gravis with an equally powerfullightning resistance, he wasn't injured in the slightest. It only shocked his hand slightly. If it hadn't, Gravis would have beenthrown away again.
Old Man Lightning looked at his hand with furrowed brows and then at Gravis' belly. "So, it's as | expected," he said, surprisinglynot angry.
Gravis was still confused about the situation. "What happened? Why can't | control my lightning?”
Old Man Lightning lightly shook his hand to counteract the numb feeling. "When you absorbed lightning, | saw it going into yourdantian. Yet, against all known cultivation laws, it started growing out of your dantian and even left your body. You should knowwhat that means.”
Gravis' eyes widened in realization. "Since the lightning left my body, it was no longer isolated by my body. Therefore, it struckthe first thing that came near, which was the ground. That's why everything exploded!"
Old Man Lightning nodded. "Exactly. You still had some lightning leaving your body, but not enough to hit the ground. | attackedyou so that it could unload itself into something that could withstand it. If you just bumped into a random person, that personwould've exploded right then and there. You should know that, previously, your lightning even reached your knees."
Sweat ran down Gravis’ neck. Without knowing, he had been a loaded lightning bomb, just dying to unload onto the closestperson. Old Man Lightning saved him from killing another person involuntarily. "That's an issue," Gravis said.
Old Man Lightning nodded. "Yes. Stay here, and don't move. We need to test at which threshold your lightning starts going out ofcontrol." Then, Old Man Lightning moved his cane to Gravis’ dantian so that it touched that spot.
Gravis looked down and then at the other people. "So, I'm just supposed to stand here? Can't we do that somewhere else?”“Not until we know the safe threshold," Old Man Lightning said. "I don't want you to unload onto someone.”
Gravis bitterly smiled, feeling kind of awkward with all the people just watching him. They all stood there, looking at him withouttalking. Of course, they were Spirit Forming experts, so Gravis was sure that they talked about him with their Spirits.
Minutes passed as Gravis regenerated his lightning. It only took around two hours for him to go from 0% to 100% of his lightning.The quantity of his storage didn't matter since more lightning attracted more Energy. The regeneration speed was always thesame, as long as his Realm didn't increase above the Energy density of this lower world. That wouldn't happen until he reachedthe Unity Realm.
BZZZ!
Asmall bolt of lightning hit the cane. Gravis felt a lot of lightning leaving him, which made him furrow his brows. ‘My lightningwent out of control as soon as | regenerated around 55% of my lightning, yet it unloaded a whole 10%. | guess when it unloads,it also pulls some of the lightning inside my body with it. | should try to stay at 50% for safety's sake.’
Old Man Lightning pulled his cane back. "You got the threshold?"Gravis nodded. "55%. I'll try to stay at 50%. | can unload the additional lightning into my Spirit. Shouldn't be an issue."WACK!
The cane whacked Gravis on the head again. "Are you stupid? Why would you unload your lightning into your Spirit? Are yousuicidal!?” he shouted angrily.
Gravis rubbed his head in annoyance. "It's how | cultivate!" he shouted. "You wanted to talk, right? I'll explain everything whenwe talk, but can we please move away from here?"
Old Man Lightning snorted and then turned to the other disciples. "Stop standing there! Go to the elders and get a new blueprintfor the central plaza! We need to rebuild the essential buildings! Also, anyone who touches the tree will be executed!" Old ManLightning shouted at them.
The disciples quickly nodded and started running around. Initially, they looked like headless chickens just randomly runningaround, but after a while, Gravis noticed that everyone went to do something different. Some of them were collecting rubble,while others ran to a big black castle.
“Alright, this doesn't concern you," Old Man Lightning said to Gravis. "Follow me. | don't want you to explain everything twice, so| hope you don't mind little lightning bolt joining our conversation."
Gravis furrowed his brows. "Little lightning bolt?" he asked.Old Man Lightning groaned. "The Sect Master," he said.
Gravis' eyes widened at the disrespectful and casual nickname for the Sect Master. Though, as someone at the Self Stage, OldMan Lightning probably had the right to do that. After all, how many Self Stage cultivators were inside this lower world? Did everySect have one?novelbin
Gravis followed Old Man Lightning as they walked to the big, black castle in the Sect's center. The castle was a slightly biggerversion from the one in the Lightning Guild in the Middle-Continent. It wasn't much more imposing. It was just a big black castle.
The guards in front of the castle didn't mind the two passing. If Gravis were alone, they would have surely stopped him, butprobably no one dared to stop this old man.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

“What are you planning on doing with the tree?" Gravis asked as they walked.
"Little lightning bolt will speak to itafter our talk," Old Man Lightningexplained without turning around. "Aslong as we feed it enough beascorpses, we hays aixidthite Sdpply ofLe ighthing.

Gravis rubbed his chin. "Can't you also create a healing business? Many people need quick healing, after all, and the treeprobably doesn't need much Life Lightning to heal someone."
Old Man Lightning snorted. "Not possible."Gravis furrowed his brows.
"Why not?" he asked.
Tap!
Old Man Lightning's cane lightly tapped on Gravis' dantian. "You are coming close to the threshold. Unload some of yourlightning,” he said.
"Oh!" Gravis said. He had completely forgotten about that. He quickly moved around 10% of his lightning into his Spirit.

They climbed some stairs and reached a big door. The old man pushed some lightning into the door, and it opened.
They both entered, and Gravis finally got to meet the Sect Master of the Lightning Sect for the first time.
