Lightning Is the Only Way

It took nearly a day until Gravis finally reached the amount of lightning that he wanted. The Freya's Birch had already stopped growing around 18 hours ago. At that time, it had become a high-grade Spirit Plant, and since ascending was impossible for beasts and plants, it was simply impossible for it to grow any more. It would have this exact size until the day it would die.

Yet, it towered above everything. It had reached ten kilometers in height, but that didn't mean much. After all, many Spirit Plants reached that height. The really impressive aspect was its sheer width. Its trunk had a diameter of around two kilometers, making the tree appear like a wall.

Yet, its trunk was nothing in comparison to its crown. Its crown stretched to a distance of nearly thirty kilometers. Everything below it was shrouded in pure darkness, but that was nothing new to the Lightning Sect. After all, the Lightning Sect had been built under a constant congregation of storm clouds.

Speaking of the storm clouds, since the tree could be considered as a part of lightning, the storm clouds ignored it. The clouds still congregated above the Sect, though the difference was that there was also a thick ceiling of leaves at the clouds' normal height.

But since the tree was part of lightning, the clouds floated through the leaves and branches like they didn't exist. From the ground, everyone could only see storm clouds intermingling with the tree's crown. Sometimes, lightning would shoot through and along the leaves and branches, illuminating the tree. When the disciples looked at it, they felt a profound feeling.

Before the tree, they were tiny ants. Sure, a lot of elders could fight the tree without dying, but just its imposing size with the ability to stretch through the storm clouds made it appear almost divine. The Freya's Birch from the Freya Clan was only a small child in comparison to this one.

This was probably the only high-grade Spirit Plant in the entire world. Plants couldn't move, so, as soon as someone saw a powerful Spirit Plant, they could retreat and return with a strong enough party to kill it. After all, such powerful plants surely were worth a lot and were also useful for tempering.

Gravis smiled as he watched the happy tree. Even though it had become truly powerful in this lower world, its emotions were still the same. It still looked at Gravis as a father. The only difference was that it didn't show any hunger anymore. It had finished growing, and now, its goal was to stay alive and send seeds out into the world.

"Please watch over the Lightning Sect," Gravis said. "They have helped you grow, and they will feed you. Yet, in return, you should also help them. They won't betray you."

He had tried taking more pills, but it was absolutely impossible to increase the power of his body. It was literally stuck at its weak stage. Gravis didn't even find anything that could help him in the High Priest's belongings. If the High Priest didn't have such a thing, it probably didn't exist in this
