Lightning Is the Only Way

"As long as I am not bound by much, I wouldn't have anything against becoming an Ascender," Gravis said.

The Sect Master nodded with a rarely seen smile. "Then, welcome to the Purist Sect, Gravis."

Gravis raised an eyebrow. "You know my name?"

The Sect Master nodded. "Our previous Ancestor has informed us about you and your secrets. However, you do not need to fear us. We do not covet your secrets."

'Secrets?' Gravis thought.

Gravis had an inkling of what the Sect Master meant and decided to test it. After all, he already had a clone in a safe place in case something went wrong.

Gravis deactivated the Law of Perceived Reality for the Sect Master. He still kept it activated for everyone else.

The Sect Master didn't notice any difference. After all, the Law of Perceived Reality didn't work on her since she already knew the truth about Gravis. Therefore, she also didn't notice that it had been deactivated.

Because of that, the Sect Master didn't react at all. To her, nothing had changed.

And that was exactly what confirmed Gravis' suspicions.

If the Sect Master hadn't known about Gravis' beast body, she would have become shocked as Gravis would suddenly have the image of a Black Demon superimposed over himself.

Yet, she didn't react at all.

This meant that she knew that Gravis had a beast body.

'Interesting,' Gravis thought. 'Then, that means that she was willing to hand the position of Sect Master over to me, even though she already knew that I have a beast body. Sure enough, the Purist Sect is very different from the Nine Elements Sect. Probably mainly thanks to Exar.'

This relieved Gravis quite a bit.

Constantly keeping his true form hidden put a bit of pressure on him. Additionally, Gravis felt a slight bit bad for deceiving everyone. Sure, if they were enemies, he wouldn't care, but the Purist Sect had been rather accommodating.

'I can actually truly be myself here,' Gravis thought.

"You mean Exar with previous Ancestor, right?" Gravis asked.

Some of the present people felt a bit uncomfortable. Yes, Gravis was powerful, but he had also referred to their previous Ancestor by name, which was a bit disrespectful.

However, they didn't disagree. Who knew, maybe Gravis had known their previous Ancestor?
