Chapter 1002 - 1002 – Visiting (1/2)

Gravis arrived at the Purist Sect without being noticed. With Gravis' current power and grasp over the Emotional Laws, no one in this world could find him when he wanted to stay hidden.

When Gravis saw Stella again, they embraced each other.

Stella tried to hold back her tears, but they just wouldn't stop when she saw Gravis.

Stella was so happy that Gravis hadn't died!

When Gravis felt Stella's emotions, he was assaulted by guilt.

He had hurt Stella.

Yet, there was no other way.

The only ways to avoid this happening in the future were either to stop advancing or keep his tempering a secret.

Gravis couldn't choose either option.

Gravis and Stella spent the next couple of years together without any outsider interfering.

However, 1,000 years later, Gravis got an idea.

”Hey, do you want to visit the Nine Elements Sect?” Gravis asked.

Stella was a bit taken aback by the idea.

”But aren't we still being hunted?” she asked.

”So?” Gravis asked.

Stella wasn't sure how to respond to that.

When Gravis saw Stella hesitate, he burst out into laughter. ”Oh, you're so cute and innocent sometimes,” Gravis said with a chortle.

Stella pouted when she heard Gravis' words. ”Hey, I'm not innocent!”

Gravis' laughter only increased when he heard her protests.

”Honey, you have been born into this higher world,” Gravis explained with a warm smile. ”That means that you have never reached the peak of a world. Honey, when you reach the peak of power, you can do whatever you want.”

”If I want, we can both stroll around the Nine Elements Sect without being detected, and even if I appeared openly, what can they do?”

”Tell me, what can they do if I want to walk around their Sect?” Gravis asked with a smile.

Stella thought about how everything would go down.

The Nine Elements Sect would probably become hostile, but what if Gravis unveiled his power?

What could they do then?

There were only two options.

Resist and die or comply and live.

There was no third option, and only idiots would choose the first option.

Stella remained silent for a bit as she thought about her previous home.

In actuality, Stella wasn't really interested in going back. Most of her memories of the Nine Elements Sect were of struggles for power or being suppressed by Nira.

Stella didn't view the Nine Elements Sect as her home.

In comparison, her time in the Purist Sect had been nothing other than wonderful.

She had a high status.

She had a lot of friends.

She had a lot of power.

She wasn't suppressed.

She had her brother.

And, most importantly, she had Gravis.

Yet, there was one thing that called Stella back to the Nine Elements Sect.

”I want to visit my teacher's grave,” Stella said.

Gravis remembered the powerful woman that had given her life for Stella. Back then, Gravis had been tempering himself against Stella, and he had done his best in killing her.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the perspective, their power had been about equal.

If Stella's teacher hadn't stopped the fight, both of them would have died.

Stella's teacher obviously hadn't sacrificed her life for Gravis but for Stella. Nevertheless, Gravis was deeply grateful for her sacrifice.

Because, without her, Gravis and Stella wouldn't have fallen in love.

”Is her grave in the Nine Elements Sect?” Gravis asked.
