Lightning Is the Only Way

"I've already planned everything out," Lasar said, "after all, that's my job."

Lasar then stood up and summoned several things. There were about seven blackish-blue shirts and pants, as well as an emblem. The two things floated over to Gravis, and he retrieved them. Shortly after that, his new clothes appeared around him. On top of his left chest hung the emblem that he had just received. With this, he could officially show that he was part of the Lightning Sect.

"Thank you, Sect Master," Gravis said politely. "How can I acquire a new weapon? Whenever I use my strongest attack, my sabers break."

Lasar looked surprised. "How? Weapons shouldn't break just because you perform an attack. They only break when you strongly hit something that's harder."

"He's speaking the truth," Old Man Lightning interjected. "I've seen the attack. You still remember that Rakshasa Saber he talked about? Instead of infusing it with Energy, he infuses it with Destruction Lightning. After all, his Spirit has an affinity with lightning. This creates a force that a Spirit Weapon isn't made to handle. That's why his weapons break down when he uses that attack. I think he needs at least a high-grade Spirit Weapon to use his strongest attack. Though, that would only work for his current level."

Lasar rubbed his chin. Then, he summoned a saber. "This is a high-grade Spirit Weapon. Take it as a present. After all, you are about to make the Lightning Sect rise."

Gravis didn't stand on ceremony and retrieved it. This saber looked similar to his previous ones but grey in color. Gravis didn't inspect it too much since he would surely destroy it in the future as well.

"Alright," Lasar said. "First of all, I need to negotiate with the Freya's Birch. When it agrees to help us, I'll get some people to modify the Lightning Tower. Currently, it's not made to withstand Destruction Lightning. On top of that, we'll also need access to Life Lightning. Cultivating Destruction Lightning is probably incredibly dangerous to the body. So, we also need to create a new circuit for Life Lightning."

"Want me to do it?" Old Man Lightning asked casually.

Lasar shook his head. "I'll oversee the changes personally. All in all, it should take around a week." Then, Lasar looked at Old Man Lightning with a smirk. "You should prepare yourself to greet our future guest."

Old Man Lightning furrowed his brows. "Future guest?" he asked, unsure.

"Did you already forget, grandpa?" Lasar asked. "A priest of the Heaven Sect will probably arrive in a couple of days, demanding Gravis' life."

Old Man Lightning snapped his finger. "Right! I totally forgot about that. No worries, I got this. After all, if they actually want to fight, I finally have a chance to get what I've waited for." Old Man Lightning laughed. "I wonder what's more important to them, Gravis' death or seeing me ascend to the Unity Realm?"

This reminded Gravis of something. "By the way, how come you are in the Self Stage, old man? I thought the Tree Stage was the highest that people of this world could reach."

Anyway, there's a way to categorize Will-Auras. At every Stage, Will-Auras have three levels. The first level is the initial manifestation of the Will-Aura. The second level is when you manage to compress the Will-Aura to about 50%. The third level is when you have
