Lightning Is the Only Way

Stella thought about Arc's answer.

Fun to watch?

That obviously wasn't enough reason to keep this war going, but his first reason was already a pretty good one.

The war truly helped Cultivators to become more powerful.

Yet, Stella had expected more.

This reason felt a bit... simple.

Some seconds of silence passed.

"Gravis," the man said suddenly.

Gravis was a bit surprised that this illustrious senior brother wanted something from him.

"Yes?"

"Everyone in the world thinks that you are a beast, and you have been declared an enemy of humanity," the man said.

Stella felt like a heavy punch had hit her.

This was all because of her.

She knew what it meant to be the enemy of all of humanity.

Gravis could never show himself in the human territories again.

And why?

It was all because of her!

If she had been stronger, Gravis wouldn't have needed to save her!

"Okay," Gravis said without surprise. "So?"

Stella and Liam were surprised that Gravis was taking this development so well.

However, after thinking about what they have heard from Gravis' past, this really didn't seem to be that bad in comparison.

"Didn't you have some grand plan?" the man asked.

"Yes, but it seems like I can't go through with it now," Gravis said. "It requires the cooperation of at least one Peak Sect."

"If that's all, then you can still proceed with your plan," the man said.

Stella, Liam, and Gravis were all confused.

Didn't this man just say that Gravis was the enemy of humanity? How would any Peak Sect dare to cooperate with him?

"And which Sect would cooperate with me now?" Gravis asked.

"My Sect," the man said.

The three of them looked with surprise at this person.

His Sect?

So, this mysterious person was part of a Peak Sect!

Stella quickly went through all the different Ancestors and Ascenders she had met in the past.

None of them fit this person.

However, there was one Peak Sect that Stella had never gone to.

"The Purist Sect," Stella said.

The man nodded.
