Lightning Is the Only Way

Old Man Lightning gritted his teeth as he heard Gravis refer to the Lightning Sect as trash. The Lightning Sect was the second strongest Sect in this world, only surpassed by the Heaven Sect. How could something like this be considered trash?

"How dare you say that the Lightning Sect is trash?" Old Man Lightning transmitted with anger.

Gravis didn't relent. "In this lower world, the Lightning Sect is incredibly powerful, but imagine the people from the higher world. They hear that someone comes from this world, and they immediately assume that everyone from there is trash. After all, we send one person that ascended via the Tree Stage after another into this world. If there were some ascension pool or something similar per lower world, ours would probably be considered as the worst one. Are you fine with that? Are you fine with the higher world looking at us like this?" Gravis asked with a severe voice.

Old Man Lightning gripped his cane hard and clenched his teeth with power. "Even if that were the case, where would those disciples even find tempering? After all, we can't just be the only ones that cultivate to the Self Stage."

Gravis continued looking severely in the direction of the Sect Hall. "Why not? What speaks against that?"

"Everything! Where would our Sect even find tempering!? Are we supposed to kill each other for tempering?" He asked.

"Yes!" Gravis shouted.

Old Man Lightning looked taken aback. "What? I was being sarcastic! I won't allow our disciples to kill each other!"

Gravis sneered. "Aren't you already doing that? After all, isn't the whole issue that we are discussing that people start killing each other? It's normal! The cultivation path is the most important! You don't need to force anyone into these fights. If you just set up such fights, the people will join on their own. As for the others, they just have to wait!"

Old Man Lightning still wasn't convinced. "What do you mean with wait?"

"Simple," Gravis said with a smirk. "How do you think the other Sects will react if they start seeing more and more people with Destruction Lightning? They will surely start forcing people into the tenth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. After all, they can't lose out to another Sect!"
