Lightning Is the Only Way

Stella quickly contacted Samantha and confronted her.

Samantha played it off with a laugh. "So what if I'm the Ancestor? I like being in the Sect and talking to people. If everyone knew that I was the Ancestor, they wouldn't open themselves up to me."

Stella couldn't really counter that argument. After all, who would dare to see the Ancestor of their Sect as their friend? The power difference was just too vast between the parties. There would always be an unspoken power dynamic between them.

Luckily, Stella and Liam's perception of a power dynamic had shifted severely after coming into contact with Gravis. They even considered Arc their friend, the undisputed, most powerful, most ancient being in this world.

Although, a lot of that had to do with Arc's personality. It was hard not to like him.

So, Stella and Liam still managed to remain friends with Samantha, even though she vastly outranked both of them.

After talking with Samantha, Stella and Liam led Gravis around the Sect, introducing everything to him.

Gravis nodded with appreciation whenever he heard something of the Purist Sect.

Surprisingly, the very Sect that Gravis had dismissed back then was actually perfectly to Gravis' liking.

Back when Gravis had first heard of the Purist Sect, he thought that they sounded like arrogant, self-righteous people. It sounded like they isolated themselves from the world because the world wasn't worthy of them.

Yet, the philosophy of the Purist Sect was actually, as the name implied, quite pure.

Power and Form Laws decided everything.

There were no people in positions that they didn't earn. There was no kind of favoritism among the elites of the Sect. After all, if someone wasn't powerful enough for their position, they wouldn't be able to keep that position for long.

Why?

Because every member of the Sect had the right to duel someone for their position with their Form Law. If someone of a lower ranking had a better Form Law than someone of a higher ranking, the two people would switch places.

As long as someone wasn't able to suppress the entirety of the Sect, they wouldn't be able to put someone into a position they didn't deserve.

This was as fair as a Sect could get.

Gravis remembered the Unrestrained Sect. Back then, Gravis had also believed that the Unrestrained Sect was perfect for him. However, the Unrestrained Sect was, ironically, the most restrained Sect. They built their Sect around a concept they didn't understand, making the entirety of the Sect seem incongruent.
