12dz Chapter 95 Trap
Chapter 95 Trap
Cultivators who change their cultivation methods need to waste a lot of time retraining.
This is also why Wei Xia collected 1,000 sect contribution points just to help Zhou Qiuyuan exchange for a suitable cultivation technique.
Although it's unclear how big the difference is between the techniques, you get what you pay for, and expensive things are definitely not bad.
The exchange price for the Yang Thunder Qi Cultivation Chapter of the "Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Secret Thunder Treasure Book" is 3,000 sect contribution points.
The complete thirteen levels of "The True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" can be exchanged for 13,000 sect contribution points, and previously, one needed to be a true disciple to exchange for it.
One can judge the quality of two martial arts techniques simply by looking at their prices.
Zhou Qiuyuan can slowly obtain free sect contribution points through future dreams; there is no difference between 3,000 and 13,000 sect contribution points.
Of course, the more expensive the cultivation method, the better.
The biggest challenge of the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" is to draw in heavenly thunder and condense the true meaning of heavenly thunder. Once this technique is mastered, one can control all thunder.
With such a top-tier lightning cultivation technique right in front of him, how could he possibly ignore it?
Zhou Qiuyuan can use future dreams to test and make mistakes, which is far less dangerous than for ordinary people.
As long as you master this sect-level technique, even if you die several times in the future dream world and lose the ability to use the future dream world for a period of time, it will be worth it.
The only drawback is the issue of cultivation level.
Even if one obtains part of the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control", one would not dare to cultivate it easily without obtaining the subsequent cultivation methods through legitimate channels.
After all, Zhou Qiuyuan had been staying in the Blackwater Sect, and his cultivation level could not be hidden from the senior cultivators within the sect. Once someone discovered that his cultivation level was not normal, it would definitely cause trouble.
By then, even future dreams will not be able to completely solve the problem.
Zhou Qiuyuan also needs to obtain the complete text of "The True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" through legitimate channels in order to conceal his cultivation level.
It seems the only option is to exchange for the "Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Secret Thunder Manual." Once my cultivation level improves, earning sect contribution points will be easier, and I can then decide whether to change my cultivation method based on the situation.
Zhou Qiuyuan thought of something else and came to the secret arts area to find a secret technique that could conceal one's cultivation level.
Before long, he found three secret techniques related to concealing one's breath: the Concealing Breath Technique, the Hiding Spirit Technique, and the Spirit Concealing Technique.
The Concealing Breath Technique is suitable for hiding one's cultivation level and aura, the Spirit Concealing Technique is best suited for hiding spiritual energy fluctuations, and the Spirit Hiding Technique can conceal one's aura and physical form.
In comparison, the Concealing Breath Technique is more suitable for hiding one's cultivation level. At its peak, it can at most deceive cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhou Qiuyuan possesses a dream of the future, making it easy for him to improve his proficiency in secret arts and spells. It won't be long before he can raise them to the perfect level.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Blackwater Sect are all elders, who are usually elusive and rarely seen. They would never bother with an outer disciple, thus concealing their cultivation level.
He planned to board the train first and buy the ticket later.
Once one's cultivation level is raised and earning sect contribution points becomes easier, it's not too late to spend those points to exchange for the complete "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control," making it "compliant."
Having made his decision, Zhou Qiuyuan took the contents of the first chapter of "The True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" and went to the stairs.
The disciple responsible for guarding the second level glanced at Zhou Qiuyuan with slight surprise upon seeing the cultivation manual he offered. "You really want to exchange for the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Explanation?"
"Didn't you see the warning?"
The "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" is a cultivation technique that can only be redeemed by a true disciple. Under normal circumstances, it can only be redeemed after entering the third level.
Other cultivation methods are divided into three parts: lower, middle, and upper. However, the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" is divided into thirteen parts, which indicates that the Blackwater Sect's higher-ups intend to lower the threshold.
It was rare for a sect's most treasured martial arts technique to be made available to inner disciples, attracting many eager followers.
Many lightning cultivators spared no expense to change their cultivation methods.
Those who tried to change their cultivation method either died under the Heavenly Thunder or nearly lost their lives on the spot. They did not feel the true meaning of the Heavenly Thunder and dared not continue to try, so they gave up on this cultivation method.
Since the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" entered the library, no one has been able to master it.
"It's not too late for you to change your mind."
Although this person is a Dao soldier, the fact that he can offer 1,000 sect contribution points indicates that he has an extraordinary background, and the rotating disciples are willing to do him a favor.
Zhou Qiuyuan cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but my mind is made up."
Good advice is useless to a person who is determined to die; since this person is so sincere in seeking death, no one can stop him.
After deducting 1,000 sect contribution points from Wei Xia's identity token, Zhou Qiuyuan obtained the first level of "The True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" and happily carried the cultivation manual back to his residence.
Before the dream ends, he must memorize the first level of the technique no matter what.
Zhou Qiuyuan had just exchanged for the first level of the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" when the second-level rotating disciple informed the Transmission Elder of the matter.
This was something that was specifically instructed by the higher-ups during the second rotation of positions: anyone who exchanges for the "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" must notify the Transmission Elder.
"It has been a long time since anyone has exchanged for the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Understanding; this person's courage is commendable."
The Transmission Elder sat cross-legged in the cave, a wooden plaque appearing in his palm. With a flick of his fingers, the three characters "Zhou Qiuyuan" appeared.
He casually tossed the wooden plaque with the three characters "Zhou Qiuyuan" written on it aside and paid it no further attention.
Only by mastering the first level of the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Understanding can one truly enter his esteemed eyes.
……
"Is Junior Brother Zhou here?" Wei Xia's voice rang out from outside the house, his tone tinged with coldness.
As soon as Zhou Qiuyuan stepped out of the house, he saw Wei Xia's frosty face. "Why did you exchange for the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Understanding?"
"This technique is indeed precious, but why do you believe you can master it?"
The "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control" is a cultivation technique that was exchanged using Wei Xia Sect's contribution points. She knew very well where Zhou Qiuyuan had used those contribution points.
She deliberately accumulated a thousand sect contribution points, intending to have Zhou Qiuyuan exchange for the complete "Purple Cloud Thunder Spirit Technique".
Even though Zhou Qiuyuan was arrogant, he could accept the Qi Refining stage cultivation method content of the "Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Secret Thunder Treasure Book".
Why couldn't he see reality and exchanged for the most difficult-to-cultivate "True Explanation of Divine Firmament Thunder Control"?
This is a technique that even true disciples cannot master; they can only keep it on a high shelf.
Wei Xia was quite disappointed and regretted not going to the library to exchange for the cultivation technique himself, but instead giving the choice to Zhou Qiuyuan.
It's too late for regrets now.
Zhou Qiuyuan replied, "Senior Sister, I don't know why, but I feel that the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Explanation is quite pleasing to the eye."
When Wei Xia thought about how all the sect contributions he had accumulated over the years had been wasted, he wished he could hang Zhou Qiuyuan up and beat him to vent his anger.
"Although the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Explanation is good, it has endless troubles. After I discovered this true disciple's cultivation method, I specifically asked my master about it."
"This technique carries too heavy a karmic burden; its core is to shield others from lightning tribulations! Even if you manage to master it, you will definitely become the exclusive possession of some powerful figure in the Blackwater Sect in the future."
"Although you can obtain cultivation resources that ordinary people cannot imagine, your future fate will definitely be very tragic."
The Blackwater Sect wanted people to learn the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Scripture because this technique could help people disperse and reduce the power of thunder tribulations at crucial moments.
Anyone who rashly gets involved in the tribulation of a high-level cultivator will undoubtedly die.
The Blackwater Sect's training of people to cultivate the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Understanding was also a way for the higher-ups to intentionally cultivate a puppet to shield others from lightning tribulations.
Otherwise, why would a sect-level technique like the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Explanation be made available to ordinary disciples?
Zhou Qiuyuan never expected that the Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Explanation would have such a hidden danger. Even if he mastered the technique, once this matter was exposed, he would definitely be captured by a big shot from the Blackwater Sect and turned into a punching bag for lightning.
