Chapter 19

The old man took out a piece of animal skin and said, "This contains some techniques for using the Thunder Wheel Force, as well as my insights from long ago, a little surprise, and most importantly, some principles of the Wheel Force. Here, take it. Yes, store it in the Wheel Storage Space, and be careful not to let outsiders get it." Such records are very precious, forming the foundation of a cultivator and the basis for future growth and strength. Not all cultivators can obtain them.

Lei Xingfeng took the animal skin, which was only a foot long and palm-wide, as hard as steel, very thin, and even had excellent elasticity. It was dark in color, and there were no words on it. Lei Xingfeng was immediately dumbfounded and said, "Uh, this... this..."

The old man chuckled and said, "This is the skin of a Star Python, a natural star beast. Try to activate it with Thunder Wheel Force, holding one end in each hand."

Lei Xingfeng held one end in each hand and activated the Thunder Wheel Force. Immediately, silver-white words leaped out on the black animal skin, quickly passing before his eyes. He couldn't help but say, "Too fast, too fast, I can't see clearly!"

The old man said, "Input the Thunder Wheel Force more slowly!"

Lei Xingfeng carefully input a bit of Thunder Wheel Force, and the peculiar animal skin immediately emitted a layer of silver light. Instantly, a segment of text appeared, and the text moved gradually, like a computer screen from his previous life, but it was in vertical columns. The text wasn't very clear, but it flowed clearly into his mind through the Thunder Wheel Force. He couldn't help but exclaim, "So amazing! It can actually do this!"

The old man smiled and said, "The recording animal skin made from the skin of a Star Python is called a Star Python Record. Not only can Thunder attribute cultivators use it, but cultivators of other attributes can also use it. However, this thing is very precious. This Star Python Record can still write a lot. After you finish reading, if you have anything you want to record, this Star Python Record will be enough for you."

Lei Xingfeng asked, "How do I use it?"

The old man explained the usage, which was very simple. You don't need to actually write; you can directly present it on the Star Python Record through your mind and the output of Thunder Wheel Force, which is much more convenient than a computer from his previous life.

Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but marvel, "This thing is really high-end and very convenient."

The old man said, "Not only is it convenient, but the Star Python Record will not decay even after ten thousand years. It is almost impossible to destroy the Star Python skin through violent means. The Star Python Record is the best recording tool. Many ancient cultivators used it to record their cultivation insights. Some cultivators without a lineage would also record their cultivation techniques, so... when you see this kind of thing, regardless of whether you can use it, grab it first."

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Where can I hunt a Star Python?"

The old man's eyes showed a hint of mischief, and he said with a smile, "You want to hunt a star beast?"

Lei Xingfeng said, "This skin... is too attractive."

The old man laughed and said, "Ha ha, A Feng, you don't need to think about it for now. A Star Python is not something at your level can handle. Actually, you can't even touch it now. Let me think... If you can advance to a Secret Wheel Master, and ten thousand Secret Wheel Masters work together, they might be able to threaten a young Star Python. If you want to seriously injure it, at least half of the Secret Wheel Masters would die. If you want to kill it... there's almost no hope."

Lei Xingfeng was startled and said, "Ah? Ah! So powerful!"

The old man nodded and said, "Of course, it's powerful. The skin of a Star Python can also be used to make a Star Python Drum for testing attack power. Any attack that lands on it can leave the intensity of the attack, clearly detecting the actual attack level."

Lei Xingfeng said, "There's such a good thing? Grandpa, do you have a Star Python Drum?"

The old man smiled and said, "What do I need that for? Large organizations and sects use it to test junior disciples. Truly powerful experts don't need this method to test."

Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, "Oh, there are other ways to test?"

The old man said, "Of course, but once you reach a high level, few people are willing to expose their strength in front of others. So, in reality, once you reach a high level, you just need to know it in your heart. Testing is no longer very meaningful."

Lei Xingfeng continued to ask curiously, "Grandpa, have you reached a high level?"

The old man tapped his forehead and scolded, "A Feng, you can't even reach the junior level, what high level are you thinking about?"

Lei Xingfeng was stunned and said, "Ah? I'm already a Thousand Wheel Master, why am I not even a junior disciple?"

The old man said, "A Ten Thousand Wheel Master is considered a junior disciple, and a Secret Wheel Master is considered to have entered the gate. You figure it out, what kind of junior disciple are you? There are very few people cultivating here, so when a Hundred Wheel Master or a Thousand Wheel Master appears, it's already quite impressive. Once you leave here, ha ha, you'll find that your level is really too low. That's why I want you to reach the Secret Wheel Master level before going out."

Lei Xingfeng sighed and said, "So I'm that bad."

The old man shook his head and said, "You're not bad at all. You're only sixteen years old and have already reached the Thousand Wheel Master level. Do you know that outside, even geniuses, if they can cultivate to the Hundred Wheel Master level in half a year, it's already quite impressive."

Lei Xingfeng widened his eyes, showing disbelief.

The old man said, "That's right, you didn't hear wrong. Reaching the Hundred Wheel Master level in half a year is absolutely a genius that all organizations and sects fight over. If you can reach the Thousand Wheel Master level at eighteen, the Ten Thousand Wheel Master level at twenty-two, and the Secret Wheel Master level at twenty-five, ha ha, you're a child of heaven."

"Once you reach the Secret Wheel Master level, you officially enter the ranks of junior disciples. People who can achieve this by the age of twenty-five are extremely rare, mostly single-attribute geniuses. For people with multiple attributes, it's already quite good to reach the Hundred Wheel Master level in ten years. Throughout their lives, most can only reach the Thousand Wheel Master or Ten Thousand Wheel Master level, with no hope of entering the Secret Wheel Master level."

Lei Xingfeng finally had some impression of the cultivation system and speed in this world. He said, "So, I'm already quite impressive?" He pointed to his nose, feeling a bit smug.

The old man lightly tapped him and said, "What are you so proud about? Do you know... if it weren't for Grandpa's Thunder Seal inspiring you, and if you hadn't been struck by lightning in the rain, you wouldn't have such a fast cultivation speed. Cultivation isn't just about good talent; it also requires lineage, resources, connections, and most importantly, very good luck!"

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "Grandpa, your luck is also very good!"

The old man sighed, admitting that his recent luck was indeed good. He was starting to recover his strength and had obtained an alternative cultivation method. He patted Lei Xingfeng's head and said, "Yes, Grandpa has been benefiting from you recently, ha ha. Otherwise... I would have really died in Tiger Cliff Fort. Since my luck has changed..."

He suddenly changed his expression and said, "...maybe some people will be in trouble, ha ha!"

Lei Xingfeng was really curious about what level the old man had reached. He asked, "Grandpa, what level is above a Secret Wheel Master? Grandpa, what level have you reached?"

The old man said, "You don't need to ask what level I am, it will make you overly ambitious, which is not good... As for the level above a Secret Wheel Master, I can tell you. A Secret Wheel Master is a hurdle for cultivators, but the real first hurdle is when a Secret Wheel Master advances to the next level. They are the middle force in this world, and their power can look down on anyone below the Secret Wheel Master level."

Lei Xingfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "What is it, what is it!"

The old man said, "A Secret Wheel True Person, a true expert who can condense a True Body! Their lifespan can reach 120 years, and this 120 years is the age when they can maintain the vitality of a young person. If they can't advance, they can generally live to about 150 years. In this world, they have a noble status and prominent power. Even without an organization or sect, they are formidable experts when wandering alone in the world."

A Secret Wheel True Person!

Lei Xingfeng said, "Grandpa, can I ultimately reach the level of a Secret Wheel True Person?"

The old man raised his hand and slapped him, scolding, "Can you be a bit more ambitious? A Secret Wheel True Person is not your endpoint; it's your... starting point!"

Lei Xingfeng counted on his fingers and said with a bitter smile, "I need to reach the Ten Thousand Wheel Master and Secret Wheel Master levels to become a Secret Wheel True Person, which seems quite difficult."

The old man was at a loss, and he said, "It might be difficult for others, but for you, it's really not difficult." He wasn't worried that Lei Xingfeng lacked ambition. Once you cultivate Thunder Wheel Force, your personality will change significantly. Whether you were timid or cowardly before, once you cultivate Thunder Wheel Force, you will become bold and impulsive, moving forward without hesitation. Of course, your previous personality will still have some influence, but it won't affect the overall direction of your personality.

Lei Xingfeng said, "Right, is this True Person... a title?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's a title, indicating that you have reached a certain level. This title is also a noble title, and not just anyone can be called a True Person. Only those who can condense a True Body can be called a True Person."

Lei Xingfeng said, "Grandpa, are you also a True Person?"

The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you think?"

Lei Xingfeng said, "Well, I think so, Grandpa must be a True Person."

The old man said, "You don't need to think too much. Focus on your cultivation. At the beginning... hard cultivation is right. Once you reach a certain level, ha ha, you will need to go out and explore on your own. Any True Person who has condensed a True Body and reached the True Person level must have their unique qualities. Otherwise... it will be difficult to improve in the future, as the path ahead will become increasingly difficult. So-called geniuses only have an absolute advantage at the beginning..."
