Chapter 1244: Chapter 522: Lure and Kill [Subscribe Requested]_3
Afterward, he took Baiyue True Person’s handwritten letter and headed straight to the Scripture Pavilion of the Moon Wheel Sect to make his selection.
The individual guarding the Scripture Pavilion was also a Golden Core Elder of the Moon Wheel Sect. He appeared very old, looking as though he did not have much lifespan remaining.
After reading Baiyue True Person’s letter, the elder led Zhou Chun to a quiet, solitary chamber within the Book Collection Pavilion. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved dozens of jade slips for Zhou Chun to choose from.
"The cultivation techniques and divine skills within these jade slips are only partially unlocked, with one-third made available for examination. If Taoist Friend Zhou selects one, this old man will unlock its restrictions for you!"
After speaking, the elder closed his eyes and began meditating.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun began checking the jade slips one by one on his own.
"Xuanqing Heavenly Thunder Jade Book", channel the power of heavenly thunder into the body to refine the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, enabling control over heavenly thunder’s power... Each successful level of cultivation requires refining ten times the power of heavenly thunder into a new Heavenly Thunder Talisman...
"Xuanyang Heavenly Fire Scripture", channel the power of heaven fire into the body to form the Heavenly Fire Profound Pearl, which can then be unleashed to burn enemies... Each successful Chapter of cultivation requires rebirth through fire to refine the Heavenly Fire Profound Pearl anew...
"Ancient Wood Longevity Technique", seal oneself within an ancient tree for a century. After a century, if one can achieve unity with the tree, they will forge the foundation for longevity, marking the cultivation as complete. Each successful level grants a thirty-percent extension of lifespan... Each level requires resealing within an ancient tree...
Zhou Chun began by examining what were known as "Heaven-Connecting Profound Arts." These cultivation techniques, as Baiyue True Person had described, indeed seemed peerlessly powerful and promising a path to immortality.
Yet, in truth, many of them were even more perilous and unfathomable than Zhou Chun’s"Golden Cauldron Profound Technique", clearly not designed for ordinary cultivation!
If the Zhou Family had offered Zhou Chun these techniques for selection back then, he likely would not have dared to choose any of them!
Now that he was aware of the drawbacks of these "Heaven-Connecting Profound Arts," he naturally had no intention of taking one of these techniques.
Instead, he quickly shifted his focus to the Divine Ability Arts.
Indeed, these Divine Ability Arts were truly cultivation methods for legendary divine skills as rumored.
For instance, "Samadhi True Fire," "Great Sun True Fire," and "Primordial Yang Divine Thunder"...
However, though the methods for cultivating divine skills were readily available, the doors to mastering divine skills were exceedingly difficult to enter!
Zhou Chun’s prior experience with cultivating the "Metal Escape Technique" gave him a deep understanding of how challenging it was to grasp these divine skills.
Thus, he did not invest much attention in the cultivation methods for those legendary divine skills. Instead, he turned his focus to those he might realistically have a chance of mastering.
After a thorough selection process, he finally chose one method for cultivating the divine skill "Geng Metal Splitting Sky Thunder."
This "Geng Metal Splitting Sky Thunder" was a variant of the "Geng Metal Divine Thunder," which belonged to the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
Zhou Chun favored it because, once cultivated, this divine skill could be paired with specific materials to refine Thunder Beads for later use.
During his earlier duel with Master Yanling, the opponent had used three "Earth Fiend Flame Thunder Beads," which were applications of such divine skills.
If Zhou Chun succeeded in mastering this skill in the future, refining several Thunder Beads to be stored inside his lifebound Dharma Treasure [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] and unleashing them simultaneously during a duel, the effects would undoubtedly be remarkable.
"I have made my choice; I will go with this divine skill cultivation method," Zhou Chun declared, holding the jade slip and handing it to the elder guarding the Scripture Pavilion.
Upon seeing this, the elder immediately formed hand seals, casting a beam of spiritual light onto the jade slip to remove its restrictions, then handed it back to Zhou Chun, saying, "It’s done, Taoist Friend Zhou. You may now take it with you."
"Many thanks, Taoist Friend," Zhou Chun replied with a polite bow before promptly leaving the Scripture Pavilion.
Afterward, he paid a visit to Su Yunniang’s cave dwelling to check on Zhou Daoyi before taking his two elders and returning to the family estate.
As the Zhou family cultivators returned, news of their victory in the bet against the Green Lotus Temple quickly spread.
Those who heard of the matter for the first time were universally shocked, tirelessly seeking details of what had transpired.
However, as the matter pertained to the reputation of the Green Lotus Temple, although some deliberately spread the news, no one was willing to divulge the specifics.
As a result, the curious individuals began to fully utilize their imagination, speculating and debating over the event in various ways.
Even many Zhou Family cultivators who were hearing about this for the first time engaged in their own discussions.
Zhou Chun, however, ignored these debates.
Upon returning to the family estate, he convened a small meeting with several members of the family’s leadership.
The meeting focused on three main topics.
The first was how to continue concealing the strongholds in the Wasteland Territory.
The second was determining when to execute the plan to eliminate Yu Jinghua.
The third concerned Zhou Daoyi’s Core Formation.
Following the bet against the Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Chun, prompted by Baiyue True Person’s advice, recognized that the Zhou Family had become overly conspicuous.
Now that the Green Lotus Temple had lost the bet, their focus on the Zhou Family was only likely to increase.
Thus, maintaining relations with the Wasteland Territory strongholds could no longer be as frequent, and those privy to the information needed to be relocated either to those strongholds or to secure locations.
Currently, the number of Zhou Family cultivators aware of the Wasteland Territory strongholds was not insignificant.
Among them were numerous younger Foundation Establishment cultivators, many of whom had visited the area for training.
For this reason, Zhou Chun decided to covertly relocate these individuals to the Wasteland Territory under the guise of going on training expeditions, having them remain there for ten to twenty years until the situation calmed down before reconsidering their return.
Internally, the family would declare these individuals as missing, which could also confuse and mislead any forces harboring ill intentions toward the Zhou Family.
The matter of eliminating Yu Jinghua was also decided to be carried out as soon as possible following discussions!
For now, the Green Lotus Temple, having just experienced failure, likely would not act upon their desire for revenge against the Zhou Family immediately.ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
