"Jiang Ying left the Sword Cloud Sect with the people from the Southern Kingdom after the award ceremony," the Third Elder said.
Chen Zhou had been waiting for a long time. When he heard the Third Elder's words, he felt a surge of emotions and a sense of unease, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
My junior sister left? Why didn't she even say goodbye?
Chen Zhou racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He concluded that the Southern Kingdom's royal family had strict requirements, which was why Jiang Ying couldn't come to him to say goodbye. Moreover, he was in the Cloud Mountain, so Jiang Ying couldn't find him even if she wanted to.
With this in mind, Chen Zhou made up his mind that he would definitely pass through the South on his way to the North, and he could go find her then!
Thinking this way, Chen Zhou felt relieved and enlightened. Little did he know that on the distant road, carriages were traveling into the southern country, and in one of them sat a young girl with red and swollen eyes.
"This is a copy of all the main cultivation techniques in our sect. You can choose one to cultivate according to your needs, so that your Foundation Establishment stage strength can be fully utilized."
Seeing that Chen Zhou's complexion had returned to normal, the Third Elder did not ask any further questions and immediately pointed to the item in his hand.
Chen Zhou took the book box from the Third Elder and picked up the books one by one to look at them.
Chen Zhou saw several main cultivation techniques that he was familiar with: Yi Hongfeng's Gale Heart Technique and Lei Yan's Lightning Scripture. These were the main cultivation techniques of the fifth and second branches, respectively. Why did his master have them?
"Master, this is not our lineage's cultivation method, why am I being offered a choice?"
Chen Zhou got straight to the point, saying that part of the reason for the decline of the Sword Cloud Sect was that the gaps between the seven branches were too large, and they were not united enough. Even their cultivation techniques were not compatible with each other, and disciples of each branch could only practice the techniques of their own branch.
This time, Chen Zhou was actually able to cultivate the main cultivation techniques of each branch of the meridians, which really startled him.
Could it be that the seven branches abolished this rule for the sake of the Sword Cloud Sect's prosperity?
"The sect leader has ordered that you may cultivate all the techniques of the Sword Cloud Sect, including your main technique," the Third Elder said honestly. He had never seen an outer sect elder have such authority before. Could it be that Chen Zhou's mission this time was exceptionally difficult?
Chen Zhou nodded, but since he already had a main cultivation technique, choosing another one wouldn't make much difference.
Just as Chen Zhou was casually flipping through a few cultivation manuals, Ren Lao's voice echoed in his mind.
"You can choose a primary cultivation technique as a secondary cultivation technique to better conceal your primary cultivation technique."
"A secondary cultivation technique? Can a person cultivate two primary cultivation techniques?" Chen Zhou asked.
"No, this is just a supplementary cultivation method for you. This is a common method used by some upper-class families to effectively conceal their main cultivation method," Elder Ren replied.
Chen Zhou answered in his heart, and then began to carefully select the treasure, so that he could better conceal his Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram.
Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram.
Chen Zhou flipped through the book box several times. He believed that this was the only major cultivation method that suited him best, and it was also a major cultivation method related to formations.
Then Chen Zhou took out this book and put the other books back in the book box.
"Master, I'll choose this one." Chen Zhou returned the book box to the Third Elder, then showed the Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram to the Third Elder and said.
The Third Elder stared at the Crimson Dragon Array Diagram, his face filled with shock. This main cultivation technique had been untouched in the Sword Cloud Sect for a long time, as it was an array diagram technique that array masters could cultivate. Array masters were so rare that there was only one in the entire Southern Kingdom, and he was only a very low-level array master. He was already highly revered in the Southern Kingdom, and it was said that the Southern Kingdom's royal family would grant him almost any request.
And now his disciple, who has never been exposed to formations before, wants to learn formations and make it his main cultivation technique. Does he want to become a formation master?
"Chen Zhou, do you want to become a formation master?" the Third Elder asked, puzzled.
Chen Zhou didn't have a deep understanding of what it meant to be a mage. He believed that he was simply integrating formations into his own true energy, using it as a primary cultivation technique to make his true energy stronger. He never thought of becoming a formation mage.
"No, Master," Chen Zhou replied matter-of-factly.
"No? Then you chose this formation as your main cultivation technique?" The Third Elder was dumbfounded. He had thought that Chen Zhou would honestly choose the most powerful one among them, which would significantly improve his strength.
But to his surprise, Chen Zhou actually chose the only array diagram in the book box as his main cultivation technique.
To make matters worse, Chen Zhou didn't want to become a formation master, and instead chose to focus on formation diagrams as his main cultivation method.
This caused the Third Elder to almost collapse instantly. Was Chen Zhou playing around with this? The importance of a cultivator's main cultivation technique directly affects their future prospects.
"How come I didn't realize you were so stupid? Your answer will make your master think you're playing around. Choosing a major cultivation technique is a big deal, so your attitude is very important." Elder Ren couldn't stand it anymore. If things continued like this, the matter would be ruined. If his master didn't agree, Chen Zhou probably wouldn't be able to learn the Crimson Dragon Formation Diagram smoothly.
"Then how should I answer?" Chen Zhou said helplessly.
"Tell me you want to become a formation master. That's the only answer I have now," Elder Ren said after thinking for a moment.
"Master, I want to become a formation master. I can't say why, but the sect leader already knows and has given his permission." Chen Zhou pondered. For now, he could only use the sect leader as a shield. As for what would happen next, Chen Zhou didn't want to think about it too much, as he was leaving tomorrow.
