Lightning Is the Only Way

When Gravis came to the part where he started madly looking for power in the Lightning Tower after Jaimy's assault, Lasar and Old Man Lightning finally understood why Gravis' lightning felt so strange and powerful.

"So, let me get this straight," Old Man Lightning said, interrupting Gravis. "Due to your Elemental Synchronicity, you were able to split the Life Energy from lightning, therefore creating lightning with 100% Destruction Energy?" he asked.

Gravis nodded. "Yes. On top of that, since the lightning didn't have a will, I could move it around however I wanted without completely dying."

Old Man Lightning and Lasar watched Gravis with open mouths. "That's incredible!" Lasar said. Gravis realized the dream that every previous Sect Master of the Lightning Sect had. No one had ever reached pure Destruction Lightning before. To normal cultivators, it just wasn't possible to split the Life Energy and Destruction Energy inside lightning.

It was possible to siphon a small amount of Life Lightning from natural lightning, therefore creating pure Life Lightning, but it wasn't possible the other way around. On top of that, those methods stopped working as soon as too much Life Lightning was siphoned out of Natural Lightning. The highest achievable amount of Destruction Energy was only 60%, and that was incredibly expensive.

Old Man Lightning looked at Lasar with seriousness. "Later," he transmitted to Lasar. Then, Old Man Lightning turned to Gravis again. "And that's when you were influenced by the temperament of lightning and killed your Guild Master?"

Gravis sighed and told them what had happened. He didn't embellish any details and just told them how it happened.

"In the weeks that followed, I tried to find a way to repay my debt. Sadly, there is no way to bring Gorn back, so the next best thing was making the Lightning Sect rise. That would still not be enough, but it's the best I can do," Gravis said.

Old Man Lightning rubbed his beard in thought as Lasar sighed in emotion. This was a tragic accident. Lasar, of course, realized that Gorn was also at fault. After all, he definitely knew about the dangers of feeding someone so much lightning when they were this unstable.

In actuality, Lasar didn't see the matter as critically as Gravis. It was an accident, and accidents happen. Yes, something like this shouldn't go unpunished, but it didn't require something as ridiculous as making the Lightning Sect the most powerful organization. He thought that the Guild Master of the Lightning Guild in the southern Middle-Continent had overreacted.

Yet, would Gravis be okay with this? Definitely not! It was the heaviest blow that he had ever received, and minimizing the issue wouldn't help. Gravis wouldn't accept not paying for this debt, even if Lasar said that it was fine. The only thing he could do was accept that Gravis would repay them.
