Female Novel
Chapter 246
When Gravis came to the part where he started madly looking for power in the Lightning Tower after Jaimy's assault, Lasar andOld Man Lightning finally understood why Gravis' lightning felt so strange and powerful.
"So, let me get this straight," Old Man Lightning said, interrupting Gravis. "Due to your Elemental Synchronicity, you were able tosplit the Life Energy from lightning, therefore creating lightning with 100% Destruction Energy?" he asked.
Gravis nodded. "Yes. On top of that, since the lightning didn't have a will, | could move it around however | wanted withoutcompletely dying.”novelbin
Old Man Lightning and Lasar watched Gravis with open mouths. "That's incredible!" Lasar said. Gravis realized the dream thatevery previous Sect Master of the Lightning Sect had. No one had ever reached pure Destruction Lightning before. To normalcultivators, it just wasn't possible to split the Life Energy and Destruction Energy inside lightning.
It was possible to siphon a small amount of Life Lightning from natural lightning, therefore creating pure Life Lightning, but itwasn't possible the other way around. On top of that, those methods stopped working as soon as too much Life Lightning wassiphoned out of Natural Lightning. The highest achievable amount of Destruction Energy was only 60%, and that was incrediblyexpensive.
Old Man Lightning looked at Lasar with seriousness. "Later," he transmitted to Lasar. Then, Old Man Lightning turned to Gravisagain. "And that's when you were influenced by the temperament of lightning and killed your Guild Master?"
Gravis sighed and told them what had happened. He didn't embellish any details and just told them how it happened.
"In the weeks that followed, | tried to find a way to repay my debt. Sadly, there is no way to bring Gorn back, so the next bestthing was making the Lightning Sect rise. That would still not be enough, but it's the best | can do," Gravis said.
Old Man Lightning rubbed his beard in thought as Lasar sighed in emotion. This was a tragic accident. Lasar, of course, realizedthat Gorn was also at fault. After all, he definitely knew about the dangers of feeding someone so much lightning when they werethis unstable.
In actuality, Lasar didn't see the matter as critically as Gravis. It was an accident, and accidents happen. Yes, something like thisshouldn't go unpunished, but it didn't require something as ridiculous as making the Lightning Sect the most powerfulorganization. He thought that the Guild Master of the Lightning Guild in the southern Middle-Continent had overreacted.
Yet, would Gravis be okay with this? Definitely not! It was the heaviest blow that he had ever received, and minimizing the issuewouldn't help. Gravis wouldn't accept not paying for this debt, even if Lasar said that it was fine. The only thing he could do wasaccept that Gravis would repay them.
"So," Old Man Lightning said after a while, showing a smirk. "How exactly did you plan to achieve that?"“When | have enough power, it won't be an issue," Gravis said.“And when you have enough strength, then what? How exactly would you do it?" Old Man Lightning asked.
Now, Gravis wasn't sure how to answer. He thought about this for a while, but every answer he came up with, had a flaw.Destroying the leadership of the other Sects? That was not in Gravis' nature, and it would also only be a short-term solution.Watching over the Lightning Sect? That would take too long and would damage Gravis' cultivation path. 'Yeah, how would | dothat?' he thought.
Old Man Lightning saw Gravis thinking, and his smirk intensified. "What if | were to tell you that you could do that right now? Youcan make us into the most powerful Elemental Sect without even increasing your strength. It would also only take a couple ofmonths."
Gravis looked with shock at Old Man Lightning. "How?" he asked.
Old Man Lightning snickered a little. "Come on. Normally, you're so smart, but now you ignore the obvious." Then he pointed atGravis’ dantian. "Your Destruction Lightning. As long as our Sect has access to it, we'll be inherently stronger than all otherSects."
Gravis looked at his dantian, then furrowed his brows. "| mean, | can help some people cultivate Destruction Lightning with mine,but | won't stay in this world for much-"Then, Gravis eyes’ widened. "How didn't | think of that!?" he shouted in frustration andelation.
Old Man Lightning laughed. "So you realized it, huh? Took you long enough. As long as you supply Destruction Lightning to ourLightning Tower, we can get some supreme geniuses in the Body Tempering Realm to condense a Destruction Lightning Seed.Then, when those people reach the Magic Gathering Realm, they can use their own Destruction Lightning to help their juniors
cultivate theirs. As long as we have a single person with access to Destruction Lightning, the whole Sect will have access to it."
Usually, cultivators wouldn't want to share the results of their hard work with others. After all, they had worked so hard to achievethem, so why should people that didn't work for them benefit from the cultivator's hard work?
Yet, Gravis felt nothing of the sort. The only thing he felt was relief. Finally, he could repay one of the two remaining debts. InGravis’ mind, that didn't fully absolve him of his guilt towards Gorn, but it was the best he could do. There was nothing else thathe could do. With that finished, he could put that issue to rest.
Gravis smiled with happiness, something that he rarely did. "Thank you," he said genuinely to Old Man Lightning.
For once, Old Man Lightning also smiled warmly. "We should be the ones thanking you. Not everyone is ready to share thebenefits of their suffering with others. If you do that, you have more than repaid us."
"| fully agree," Lasar said, also with a smile.
Lasar was also incredibly happy. The elusive dream that every Sect Master had would finally be realized while he was thecurrent Sect Master. Though, he knew that he hadn't really contributed anything. Yet, as the Sect Master, any rise in the Sect'spower filled him with pride.
There were some seconds of silence as the people thought about the future path of the Lightning Sect."So," Old Man Lightning said with a smirk, "since all your debts with us have been paid, let me ask you something.”Gravis looked at Old Man Lightning, thinking about what he wanted to ask.
"Gravis," Old Man Lightning began speaking solemnly. "Do you want to join our Lightning Sect?" he asked.
Gravis was shocked. He had not expected that question. It wasn't that it wasn't logical, but that his mind had completely deletedthat possibility. He had never thought about rejoining the Lightning Sect. After all, how would that have been possible? He hadkilled his Guild Master and several disciples of the Lightning Guild. There had been no imaginable way for him to rejoin.
Yet, as he thought about it, everythingmade sense. He had explained hiscircumstances to the Guild Masterback when he was uo) aacHeaven SectaTheh, he epaid thedéatts of the disciples with a lot ofgold. After all, killing someone fromanother organization was differentfrom killing someone from your own.The deaths of those 20 disciples atthe tree were not as heavy as Gorn'sdeath since Gravis had been inadifferent position back then.

Then, Gravis had always thought that he needed to reach the Unity Realm to repay Gorn's death. At that point, he would justleave this world. He, obviously, wouldn't have rejoined the Lightning Sect then. Yet, with this new development, he could finallyjoin the Lightning Sect again! Though reality crashed down on him, transforming his elation into frustration.
“What about the Heaven Sect?" Gravis asked, looking at the ground. Even if Heaven didn't involve itself anymore, the HeavenSect still blocked him from joining any organization. The threat of the Heaven Sect was just too significant. His enmity with theHeaven Sect would bring the whole Lightning Sect into jeopardy.
WACK!
Old Man Lightning hit Gravis on thehead again with his cane. "Stupid! I'mhere! If a priest from the Heaven Sectcomes, I'll make him flee with his tailbetween his legs! wxitedsending twoptieSts? As tong as Heaven itselfdoesn't directly give that order, theywon't dare. After all, that would be thebiggest loss of face for the HeavenSect in history. Sending two priestsat the Self Stage for only one Sect?The whole world would never forget!"Old Man Lightning said withconfidence. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Gravis looked at Old Man Lightning insurprise, which quickly transformedinto a sincere, but ugly smile. 'l don'tneed to fight the Heaven Sect bmyself, Gravis qpqashOwith nly mypbwer; i fuld be impossible to jointhe Lightning Sect, but | haveforgotten that there isn't only oneperson in a Sect.

Seeing Gravis’ smile, Old Man Lightning nudged Lasar. Lasar then also smiled happily and stood up. "Gravis, do you wish to joinmy Lightning Sect?" he asked solemnly but with a smirk.
Gravis stood up and bowed to him."Yes, Sect Master!" he shouted, trying to keep his emotions in check.
If Gravis had a weaker will, he would be crying right now.
