Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

'Why would the Great Elder possess a devil cultivation technique? And, why does he wants me to practice these and meet him?' Qin puts down the scrolls and questioned himself. There were several thoughts running on his mind but none of these provides him the true answer.

He was left in confusion. When he was drowning in his own thoughts, Claire spoke "Sometimes you don't need to think too much. Just check what kind of technique is that and then think further."

Qin paused for a moment and then opened the scroll. Then, he started reading the entire scroll. Nine Devil Transformation Technique was a powerful Domain Rank Cultivation Technique and it wasn't even complete.

There were only four transformations recorded on the scroll. Rakshasa Transformation, Shadow Devil Transformation, Jin Transformation, and finally Sea Devil Transformation. Among these transformations, the first transformation grants him the strength to crush the mountain with a single fist.

The second transformation gives him the ability to hide and live in the shadows of others, manipulate their shadows, and even move like the shadow. The third transformation gives him a massive amount of devil energy.

Devil Energy is just like qi except it is practiced by the devils. Once he enters this transformation, his body will flood with devil energy. The fourth transformation is a little unique. It doesn't make him a devil rather a dragon but with the power of sea devil.

According to the scroll, once he inherits the power of the sea devil, he can call the armies from the netherworld that lives under the sea. This ability is so unique that if he masters it, he can call the entire netherworld. Reading the entire scroll for a long time but also made him incredibly shocked.

This technique was so great that it could literally make him invincible. In the first two transformations, he manifests the power of essence. Whether it is the essence of physical power or shadow, it all belongs to Essence Rank.

Jin Transformation is different. This transformation allows him to condense the intent of the devil's energy. Once the intent is formed, he can transform the qi into devil energy and use it constantly. More importantly, he doesn't need to focus on this rather his transformation will do everything on its own as long as he transforms.

Finally, the fourth transformation allows him to form the domain which itself helps him to summon the creature from the netherworld. The size of the domain determines of a number of creatures he could summon and his transformation gives him the ability to communicate with the Netherworld.

It works perfectly but this made him even more curious. It was already the Domain Rank and there were still five transformations left. He couldn't even think of the rank of the highest transformation.

"This could be useful to you." Suddenly, Claire spoke making him frown. He looked at her with the expectation of an explanation. Claire looked at him and said "You are an orphan. You don't know this world or have anyone to support you."

"And, it won't be simply younger generations who will try to kill you all the time. There will be a many older generations as well. At that time, you would need this otherwise you will lose your life. And, always remembers this! No matter how talented you are, how easy the cultivation might get, never lose to your arrogance, try to act humble and low-key as much as you can." Claire gave him a serious stare and spoke.

"But why? My godfather and godmother told me the same thing. I am a cultivator now. Why should I hide my powers when I can get more benefits by exposing it?" Qin froze for a moment and asked with confusion.

He truly didn't understand them. Six years, he lived six years in Tan Family and he didn't even a get chance to be a cultivator? It would be a joke especially with all that hard work and talent for weapons which Qin showed to the family.

But, whenever he was given a cultivation technique, he doesn't practice it at all. In short, he completely changes the flow and never cultivates. Thus, the family starts to believe that he doesn't have the talent for cultivation.

He could understand why his Godfather and Godmother told him to be low-key since it literally saved him from practicing those techniques. But, he didn't understand why she was telling him the same thing especially when he was starting his new life.

Suddenly, Claire puts her hand on his shoulder and says "Remember, acting weak can save your life. You act strong, you make others jealous, and then you invite trouble for yourself. This cycle will repeat even if you clear that trouble because stronger people will keep targeting you."

"Just imagine this! You join a sect and try to act as low as you. Being low-key, you will attract less trouble which means you will get more time for cultivation. And suppose, elder targets you for some dumb reason."

"At this moment, if you are acting powerful, do you think he will risk his life and try to kill you? No, he will make many excuses to let the sect take the action against you. But, this thing won't happen if you act low-key."

"Since he will think you have low strength, he will try to assassinate you. That means you can show your true strength, kill him in dark, and from the next day, nobody will try to trouble you. Why? Because, in their eyes, you don't have sufficient strength to pull of that."

"But, if you had shown your strength and even if he had attacked you recklessly, then you would be in trouble after killing him. Because the sect will be suspicious about you. There are endless benefits to acting low-key. It's just how you act."

"If you think hiding your talent is acting low-key, then you are wrong. It's just acting dumb. You need to show them three things. First, you have cultivation. Second, you have comprehension talent. Third, you don't have the strength to be a threat. Then, you can easily escape many situations like war or basically sect battles."

"And, once you think you are good to go, then you show your strength and make entire sect speechless. Of course, I am not suggesting you do so. I am only telling you because you have many things that threaten your life."

"I won't even talk about your bloodline. If you act strong, you will be noticed by a stronger person. Then, your Dual Cultivation Body and Devil Transformation might be exposed. So, acting low is the key to success."

Hearing her explanation, Qin was left speechless for a long time. Acting low is not bad but if he can't get resources by acting low, what's the point of hiding it?

"And, don't forget, you are a dual cultivator as well. The main advantage of Dual Cultivation is the cultivation speed and with your Dual Cultivation Body, it's almost like cheating. So, if you don't act now, many people will be suspicious of your cultivation."

"And, they might think that you have some kind of treasure. Because there is still a limit to how much you can improve even with the highest talent. There are things like treasure, resources, and luck affecting it. This is also the reason why I am trying to convince you to act low."

"Show them what they want to see, give them what they want to have, and in the end, you will reap the highest reward. That's the business model and it implements the cultivation as well. Finally, one last piece of advice from me."

"There will be a lot fewer chances for your woman to betray you but just to be safe, don't reveal anything about your dual cultivation or devil transformation."

Qin nodded his head and said "I won't be an idiot to reveal that. As for acting low, I will try to be as low as possible while accomplishing my goal."

"Alright, you should look at the second art and try to comprehend it before leaving this place." As she spoke, Claire left Qin alone under the moonlight. He took out the next scroll and started reading. The light of the moon was enough to make it visible.

Soaring Dragon Art was a movement martial art that he actually needs right now. This art was also powerful and Intent Rank Martial Art. While he reading it, Claire shouted "And, try not to reveal this art in front of the powerhouses until you get stronger."

This made Qin even more speechless. He thought 'What the hell? If I can't reveal then why would I even bother to comprehend it? Sigh! It's so hard to live without a strong background.'

Qin knows the reason why she is asking him to be low-key. He doesn't have a good background or support. So, he can be targeted by anyone and if others are dearest on him, it would be disastrous. After all, Qin isn't strong enough to give them any threat to others.

That makes him so vulnerable and easy to manipulate and that's exactly what Claire wants to tell him. Let them manipulate or rather, let them think they are manipulating him. And, when the time comes, strike back!
