Trial

The Aurora Continent. 

Grey looked at the portal once again. He stayed in a strange world for weeks, and he couldn't help but feel his gains were very good. His earth elemental grade saw a huge boost, and he comprehended gravity as well. He also broke through to the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane in both his cultivation stage and his physical body. What else could he ask for? 

Connor walked up to Grey, "Thank you for your help, it wouldn't have been this easy without you." 

"It's okay." Grey replied with a smile. 

Grey spoke with them for some time before leaving. Connor invited him to travel with them, but he refused. His current objective was to get into a Faction and cultivate patiently until the time for the battle. 

Once he enters a Faction, getting to the Sage Plane was his first aim. He didn't really care too much about other things. 

After leaving, he started his journey once again. 

Three weeks later.
