Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 37: Heavenly Tribulation Curse, Selling One's Body in a Daring Gamble

Closed-door Disciples.

Often hold a higher status and better treatment than direct disciples, because once closed-door disciples are accepted, no more disciples will be accepted.

Generally speaking, only when a recognized successor is found will the master accept them as closed-door disciples, and thereafter pass on all their lifelong knowledge without reservation.

Throughout their lives, cultivators may have several or even dozens of direct disciples, but they only have one closed-door disciple.

In fact, most cultivators never accept a closed-door disciple until their death.

Ji Yan, the almighty at the peak of the Astral Projection Ninth Layer, and the leader of Thunder Sound Peak, carries great weight as a closed-door disciple.

Not to mention, Ji Yan directly stated that after he steps down, Wang Xiu will be the next leader of Thunder Sound Peak.

This promise is of immense significance, and for anyone, it is absolutely like a nuclear explosion. In Ji Yan's view, Wang Xiu has no reason to refuse.

However, the young man before him simply smiled faintly, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Senior Ji, for your kindness."

"But I have no intention of joining another lineage."

Ji Yan was stunned, staring blankly at Wang Xiu for a moment.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face. "Just now, I may not have expressed myself clearly."

"I meant to accept you as a closed-door disciple, not a direct disciple. As a closed-door disciple, you can inherit my mantle and succeed me as the leader of Thunder Lineage in the future!"

"Are you... sure you won't reconsider?"

"Once you miss this opportunity, there won't be another chance!"

The young man bowed again and said, "I heard you loud and clear, Senior Ji. I am deeply grateful for your kind intentions, but I have no such intention."

Ji Yan's face darkened. "Why?"

"Although your master, Luo Binglan, is strong, he is currently seriously injured and we don't know how long he will be in a deep sleep."

"Moreover, with your talent in Thunder Law, Divination Lineage is not suitable for you. If you join Thunder Lineage, with the resources tilted towards Thunder Lineage, it will be no problem for you to become a saint and even an ancestor in the future."

"Even Transcending Tribulation and becoming an Immortal is not impossible!"

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "As a disciple of our sect, I have no discrimination. Although I am currently on Spirit Turtle Peak, it doesn't mean I can't learn Thunder Law."

"Senior Ji allows me to study on Thunder Sound Peak for six months."

"I think that should be enough."

Arrogant!

Anger appeared on Ji Yan's face as he snorted, "Do you think that learning a few superficial Thunder Laws means you understand the true meaning of Thunder Dao?"

"My Thunder Lineage has a vast and profound knowledge."

"Even Ji Jinglei himself only has a superficial understanding. How much can he teach you? The Thunder Laws you are learning now may seem easy because of your talent."

"But!"

Ji Yan proudly said, "The true inheritance of my Thunder Lineage is filled with mysterious and unpredictable ultimate techniques. Even if you have astonishing talent in Thunder Laws."

"Without a master's guidance, without the assistance of various secret places and special Law Weapons from my Thunder Lineage, there is absolutely no possibility for you to cultivate them."

"For example, the 'Seven Step Dragon Slaying Art' that Little Nine is cultivating requires absorbing the dragon's essence on the 'Dragon Slaying Platform' in our Thunder Lineage's secret place, and merging it with one's own mana in order to cultivate it to perfection."

"If you don't join Thunder Lineage, even if you have access to the inheritance in Storm Tower, you won't be able to learn any ultimate techniques within six months!"

Ji Yan was not exaggerating.

In fact, the inheritance of Thunder Lineage is divided into three levels: Basic, Superior, and Ultimate Techniques. It is not only based on the difficulty of comprehension.

The reason why they are called ultimate techniques is that, to a large extent, they not only require talent and comprehension, but also corresponding treasures to assist.

And these external items are not unlimited.

For example, the dragon's essence required for Ji Zidian to cultivate the "Seven Step Dragon Slaying Art" can only be condensed three times every ten years on the Dragon Slaying Platform.

Even if it can't compare to Thunder Tribulation Liquid, it is still invaluable.

Without the support of this trace of Dragon Source Qi, even if one's talent is strong, it is impossible to truly cultivate the Seven Step Dragon Slaying Art. At most, one can only achieve its form, unable to grasp its core essence.

It is precisely because of various resource limitations that although there are many disciples of the Thunder Lineage, there are very few who can truly master the ultimate techniques.

However...

For Wang Xiu, if he can't cultivate it, then he can't cultivate it!

Although the Thunder Lineage's ultimate technique is powerful, with so many inheritances on him, could it be weaker than the Thunder Laws?

Furthermore...

With the complete Taiyi Imperial Thunder True Scripture, Wang Xiu doesn't believe that he definitely can't cultivate the ultimate technique.

The Great Dao of thunder and lightning leads to the same destination. The so-called ultimate technique is just a way to borrow certain treasures and find alternative solutions by taking a different path. As long as one understands the principles, they can always find substitutes.

For example, using other treasures as substitutes, or modifying certain spell seals.

There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. But I want to give it a try."

Hmph! This brat is really stubborn!

Seeing that Wang Xiu is still unmoved even after saying so much, Ji Yan felt a mix of anger and embarrassment.

However...

From another perspective, having a master like Luo Binglan, and a sect like the Divination Lineage, Wang Xiu's unwavering determination is actually a plus.

After all, no one wants their future disciple to be a person who changes loyalties easily.

Thinking of this, Ji Yan's eyes flickered and a plan formed in his mind. "It seems that you are very confident in your talent. How about we make a bet?"

A bet?

Wang Xiu was slightly surprised and said, "Please make it clear, Senior Brother."

Ji Yan slowly extended his right hand, and immediately, purple light burst out from the top of the Storm Tower. A purple-gold jade slip flew down and landed in his hand.

Ji Yan calmly said, "This is the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, one of the ordinary techniques among the many ultimate techniques of the Thunder Lineage."

"But I can determine that without the guidance of a renowned master, and without the assistance of the Thunder Lineage's secret grounds..."

"You absolutely cannot cultivate it."

"If you can reach the entry level within three months, then you win."

"I will make an exception and hire you as a special offering at Thunder Sound Peak, enjoying the treatment of an elder of the Thunder Lineage."

"Any inheritance in the Storm Tower has no time limit, you can read them at your leisure."

"In addition..."

"The monthly spirit stone offerings and the distribution of thunder attribute cultivation resources for the Thunder Lineage elders will also include you."

"Even the special treasures needed for cultivating the ultimate technique can be prioritized for you."

Heavenly Tribulation Curse?

A familiar name, it seems like the skill that Ji Jinglei boasted about before, called Heavenly Tribulation Curse.

Wow.

You really know how to pick.

Wang Xiu's expression instantly became strange. "Ahem, Senior Brother, how about reconsidering? You can't possibly win this bet!"

Hehe.

Young people are indeed full of confidence, they can't withstand the stimulation of my provocation!

I can't win?

Hehehe, that's the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, of course you can't win!

"In that case, you don't need to worry!"

"Since I have laid down the bet, do you dare to accept it?"

A cunning light flashed in Ji Yan's eyes as he smiled and said, "If you can't cultivate it, then you lose, which means you need a renowned master to guide you."

"At that time..."

"I want you to leave Spirit Turtle Peak of the Divination Lineage and join the Thunder Lineage. The promise I made before still stands."
