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.
