Lightning Is the Only Way

"This stone is not for members of the Purist Sect," the old man said. "I think you made some mistake."

Gravis laughed a bit. "I'm not a member of the Purist Sect," he said.

The old man's eyes widened in shock.

This Peak Immortal King was not a member of the Purist Sect?

"You could have just asked one of our Elders if you wanted to join us," the old man said awkwardly. "Your power is more than enough to just be directly accepted without any tests."

"Well, the thing is," Gravis said slowly. "I don't really want to join the Purist Sect."

Silence.

The entire training area fell into silence.

Not wanting to join the Purist Sect?

Why?

Everyone in the training area checked Gravis out, and none of them could feel his power, which surprised them to no end.

In the beginning, they had thought that this was some arrogant youngster that didn't know the power of the Purist Sect. Yet, none of them could feel Gravis' power.

This couldn't be an arrogant youngster if he was that powerful.

The old man furrowed his brows in a displeased expression. "Then why are you here?" he asked.

"I want to put up a nice show for my honey over there," Gravis said, gesturing at Stella.

Everyone looked over, and they saw the stunning Core Elder Stella.

Honey?

Meanwhile, Stella became red in the face as Gravis openly called her his honey in front of so many people.

She felt like she was losing respect in the Sect.

However, Stella quickly realized that this thought was idiotic. After all, who was Gravis? Why should she feel ashamed by a public show of affection from him?

So, in the end, she winked at Gravis.

A lot of the surrounding members of the Purist Sect gritted their teeth.

Many of them had chased Stella, but they had all been turned down without exception. She told all of them that she already had a man.

Yet, they had never seen this man.

So, this was her man, yes?

A mere Peak Immortal King!?

Yes, Peak Immortal Kings were powerful, but Stella was a Core Elder. Many of her suitors had been Immortal Emperors themselves.

Yet, Stella had turned all of them down for a Peak Immortal King.

This was so unfair!

Gravis received a ton of derisive looks from the members of the Purist Sect because of their envy.

However, the old man's eyes shone a bit as he looked at the Form Law Stone.
