Lightning Is the Only Way

"You can't possibly mean this!" Liam shouted at Stella.

Gravis also looked at Stella with surprise. In his mind, Stella was a proud but kind Cultivator. She was definitely confident in her power, and the fact that this interference had damaged her path showed how much she valued her own power.

So, where did this sudden acceptance of asking for help come from?

"Liam," Stella said with a sigh. "My path has been damaged. This is an undeniable truth. What do you think would allow me to get out of this situation?"

Liam was still riled up, but he found an answer he didn't like. "You would have to enter the Valley of Silent Death," he said.

"What's that?" Gravis asked.

Liam gritted his teeth and didn't look at Gravis.

Instead, it was Stella that turned to Gravis. "The Valley of Silent Death is a kind of prison from our Sect," she explained. "In there, death is at every corner, and no one is allowed to enter or look at it, not even the upper echelon."

"The valley is filled with hidden dangers. You will find nearly no opponents there but many traps and beasts that strike from the shadows. Elements, natural disasters, Cultivation Diseases, and several other things run rampant in there."

"Only disciples that have broken primary rules and disciples that need to fix their Will-Auras will enter. The only way to fix my current situation is to be subjected to an extended period of constant danger," she said.

"The death rate is 98%."

"Battle-Strength seemingly doesn't make a difference."

Gravis nodded. This made sense.

The issue with interference was that the Cultivator's feeling of danger would lessen since there had been a precedence case of someone saving their life. This would unconsciously make it harder to feel death, decreasing the growth of the Will-Aura massively. If the Will-Aura can't grow anymore, any attempt to increase one's power would only be a dream.

However, there was also another method.

"You didn't speak of the second method," Gravis said.
