Chapter 1687: The Intermediate Stage

grey left the moonlight faction and headed for the pyrmond faction. if he wanted to see the others, he'd have to head in another direction which would take longer than the time he wanted to travel back.

he got to the pyrmond faction a few days later, his status in the eyes of the elders of the pyrmond faction had elevated to the very top. his background wasn't the reason for this, rather, it was his strength. being able to defeat a seventh stage sovereign takes him to the very top in this world. strength was all that mattered, and a seventh stage sovereign is strong enough to open a faction in the aurora continent. their faction might not be considered as one of the best mid tier factions, but it would still be a force to be reckoned with, unless they have to deal with those of higher cultivation stages than their faction leader.

the pyrmond faction leader summoned grey as soon as he knew of his arrival.

....

the faction leader's cave.

the pyrmond faction leader took a glance at grey, and he couldn't help but recall the first time he saw grey, as at that time, he was only in the overlord plane. in a matter of a few years, the youngster he thought would be great in the next thirty years or so, has indeed become great, but it didn't take that long, it was shorter than he could imagine.

"would you like to take on a role as an elder of the faction?" he asked as he looked at grey, he didn't need to ask about his journey, since everyone heard about it.

grey was taken aback by the faction leader's straightforwardness, as well as the offer.

"i'm in no position to be an elder." he bowed, politely refusing the faction leader's offer.

"your age doesn't matter, and you don't have to do anything while you're an elder. given your current position in the faction, you are still obligated to carry out some missions after some time. but once you become an elder, you don't have to worry about that.

grey looked at his arms and a smile appeared on his face.

"finally, the intermediate stage." he sighed as he said.

over the past two months, he has been training nonstop, and luckily he has been able to get to the intermediate stage of the inscribing method.

void appeared close to him and said, "some people are heading towards this direction."

grey's eyes looked in the direction the auras were coming from. he recognized one of the auras as that of the pyrmond faction leader.

'it's only been a month. why's he here?' he thought to himself.

he knew firsthand that the battle hadn't started yet, and he was even the one who leaked the place the gnomes were supposed to use as a point of entry to the aurora continent. if the gnomes had used that spot, they would've been able to come with a large number of experts in a short time and cause a heavy blow to the experts of the aurora continent before they would even know what hit them. the strength of the next best one wouldn't be able to take two late stage sovereigns passing through it within the space of ten days. this means that the gnomes have to take their time, or look for another way into the aurora continent.

the seventh prince doesn't know all the portals available, and neither did grey. so he knew the gnomes might still have other ways to get into the aurora continent.

"come on, let's go meet them." grey flew in the direction the people were coming from.

void was at the late stages rank eight magical beast. after he woke up from his sleep a month ago, he was already in the late stages, his strength was a bit better than a random seventh stage elemental sovereign.
