Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis waited for a couple of days until everything calmed down. The upper echelon of a High-Tier Sect had been killed, and this was something significant. Something like this happened very rarely in this world.

After a couple of days, Gravis went back to the Nine Elements Sect. It was impossible for the Nine Elements Sect to find out that he had been the one that attacked the High-Tier Sect.

Sure enough, even when Gravis came close to the area of the Nine Elements Sect, nothing happened.

After disguising himself with the Law of Perceived Reality, he entered the tavern of Underworld and ordered a drink.

"It seems like I have underestimated your background," the bartender transmitted to Gravis as he cheerfully served Gravis some wine.

Gravis drank the cup and did some superficial small talk with the bartender.

"Oh?" Gravis transmitted back.

"The Nine Elements Sect found traces of Divine Lightning in the Holy Judgment Sect," the bartender transmitted. "It seems like you have a powerful and mysterious person behind you. Cultivators that know a level six Law are rare and extremely powerful. Was this also the reason why you weren't afraid when you confronted me? Has your teacher always protected you in secret?"

Gravis only grinned. "I won't elaborate," he transmitted back.

"It doesn't matter," the bartender transmitted. "If your teacher were hostile to Underworld, this stronghold would have already ceased to exist. My guess is that they will soon ascend and want to help you gather resources for the future when they are no longer there. Quite thoughtful."

"As I've said, I won't elaborate," Gravis transmitted back.

"Fine, keep your secrets," the bartender transmitted with some amusement.

Gravis finished the wine, and before he knew it, 160 million Immortal Stones had already appeared inside his Spirit Space. Sure enough, the wine he had just drunk was worth a lot of money.

"I want three more of the emblems I bought recently," Gravis transmitted.
