Female Novel
Chapter 270
After a lot of talking, all the cultivators made up their minds on which Sect they would join. Eros and that other disciple that hadstepped forward earlier decided to join the Lightning Sect, while the others decided to join other Sects. Temperament wasimportant. Thus this decision had not been an easy one for the disciples.
Surprisingly enough, most of the cultivators decided to join the Fire Sect. Though, if one thought about it, it actually made sense.Being suppressed for years, always having to think about the Sect first, had changed the temperament of a lot of disciples. Theywanted to release their long-suppressed hot bloodedness and battle intent. This changed the temperament of most of thedisciples into battle maniacs after they had found their new freedom.
The Fire Sect and Earth Sect were about as opposite as any two Sects could get. The Earth Sect always defended, while theFire Sect always attacked. Yet, when someone with one disposition was pushed too hard, their mindset might do a complete180. This was what had happened to these former Earth Sect disciples.
Gravis, Old Man Lightning, Eros, and the last disciple went back to the Lightning Sect while the others traveled to their newSects by themselves. They had bodies inside the Spirit Forming Realm, so their survival shouldn't be an issue. They might notbe able to take on Seed Stage cultivators, but they could win against cultivators at the initial stage of Spirit Forming. Getting totheir new Sects wasn't a problem.
After traveling for over two days, the four people reached the Lightning Sect. Gravis and Old Man Lightning had to slow downdue to their new members. After they arrived, the group split apart. While the two new disciples went through the procedures ofjoining the Lightning Sect, Gravis asked Old Man Lightning about the saber fragments from that one priest the old man hadkilled.
Old Man Lightning smiled. "I already guessed that you were interested,” he said with pride. "The fragments have already beenreforged into a new saber. Your Contribution Points wouldn't be enough to exchange for it, though. The addition of the Ogre'scorpse gives you a lot more Contribution Points, but you are still just short." Then, Old Man Lightning snickered a little. "But, |guess, with those new disciples that you convinced to join, it's enough. Here, take it!"
An utterly red saber appeared before Gravis. It shone with a multitude of different Formation Arrays, some of which Gravis hadnever seen before. This surprised him quite a bit since he had learned a lot about Formation Arrays in his homeworld, even ifthat knowledge could only be considered basic.
"What's with these new Formation Arrays?" Gravis asked as he inspected the saber.
Old Man Lightning snickered again. "Normally, your Contribution Points would be enough to exchange for three Peak-GradeSpirit Weapons, but this saber has taken up all of them. These new Formation Arrays are one of the reasons why this saber is soexpensive."
"So, is this saber stronger than a Peak-Grade Spirit Weapon?" Gravis asked."No," Old Man Lightning said with a smirk.Gravis frowned. "Then why is it so expensive?"novelbin
Old Man Lightning continued smirking. "Because these new Formation Arrays have specifically been created for your LightningCrescent, and it took me a lot of work to design them. These new Formation Arrays allow you to unleash your Lightning Crescentup to and including the Sapling Stage. After all, what would you do if you destroy your saber already at the first trial of theinheritance? The future ones would become way harder like that."
Gravis looked at Old Man Lightning with a raised brow. "So, this thing that | will go to is an inheritance?" Gravis asked, unsure.Old Man Lightning waved his hand dismissively. "Don't think about it. Joyce will tell you everything when the time comes."
Gravis noticed the thoughtfulness that Old Man Lightning put into the saber and smiled. "Thank you. This saber is perfect forme," he said.
Old Man Lightning waved his hand again dismissively. "Don't mention it. After all, you have exchanged for it with ContributionPoints, so it's rightfully yours. I'll need to talk with the elders. In the meantime, you should think of a good time when we shouldpay the Darkness Sect a visit. When you got one, inform me. See you later!" with that said, Old Man Lightning walked to the SectHall.
Gravis nodded and then left the Lightning Sect again to plan out the fight. Meanwhile, Old Man Lightning entered the Sect Halland saw two elders sitting on their thrones, talking about some things regarding the Sect.
"We need to talk," Old Man Lightning said as he sat on his own throne beside the Sect Master's.The elders were surprised by the serious expression on Old Man Lightning's face. "Should we call the others?" they asked.Old Man Lightning nodded.
The two elders narrowed their eyes and went outside to contact the other elders. After about a minute, all the elders gathered.There were six in total, leaving four thrones empty. The Lightning Sect had ten thrones for elders just as a precaution for anyadditional elders. The Lightning Sect only had six elders in total right now.
“Everyone's here,” said the elder who sat closest to the Sect Master's throne. He wasn't the strongest elder, but the one who hadheld the position the longest. He was already very old, looking even older than Old Man Lightning.
Old Man Lightning nodded. "Have the disciples with Destruction Lightning shown a different behavior than the other ones?" OldMan Lightning asked.
Everyone looked at the elder responsible for internal affairs. His whole job was to be informed about how the disciples felt andwhat they all did. The cohesiveness and morale of the Sect was important. "We have noticed a percentual increase in deaths infights between the disciples. The number of fights between Sect members hasn't gone up, but the deaths have increased. Ofcourse, that is only logical. After all, the disciples with Destruction Lightning are more powerful than the others in the sameStage," the elder narrated.
Old Man Lightning combed his beard while he furrowed his brows. "This would seem logical, but | think you are attributing theadditional deaths to the wrong thing," Old Man Lightning said.
The elder raised his brows. "Then what do you think is the case?"
“As most of you know, | accompanied Gravis to watch his fight with the Ogre. Gravis won the fight, by the way," Old ManLightning said.
The elders clapped a little. "That's really impressive!"
Old Man Lightning lifted his hand to silence the elders. "This is not the issue," he said with seriousness. "The battle between theOgre and Gravis drew over some disciples of the Earth Sect. There were two at the Sapling Stage and ten at the Seed Stage."
The elders knew about the Earth Sect's weird behavior, so they didn't ask if Gravis got a reward, even though that seemed to bethe most logical conclusion. "How did that go?" one elder asked.
Old Man Lightning took a deep breath. "Apparently, the Earth Sect had some stupid and unnecessary enmity with Gravis, andthey said that they would kill him. After that, they charged at him."
Now, the elders were very interestedin the situation. If Gravis killed thosepeople, the Earth S tewpuldia't bel

"That's not why | have gathered you here," Old Man Lightning said, surprising the elders. There was something more importantthan a war with another Sect?
"Is there something more important than an eventual war with the Earth Sect?" one elder asked with a confused expression.
