Yang Jian!

"For us Law Seekers, cultivation arts are all extremely important. The choice of your first cultivation art in particular requires utmost caution."

"Even if you possess an Innate Divine Ability, cultivating a cultivation art will gradually increase its might and cause it to take on some characteristics of that art."

"Later on, it isn't impossible to switch to another cultivation art, but cultivation arts will have parts that repel one another to some degree. This may weaken your strength or Divine Ability."

Hearing this, Lu Jun couldn't help becoming serious as well.

Old Man Yun said, "I won't beat around the bush. Let me introduce these few cultivation arts to you."

With that, Old Man Yun picked up the first book.

"This is the Azure Dragon Life Generation Art. The Azure Dragon governs life generation, and life generation means ceaseless vitality."

"The effects of this cultivation art are also extremely powerful."

"First, it amplifies you in two aspects. The first is that your physical body and vitality will receive a tremendous boost. Even if you suffer a fatal injury, as long as it isn't certain death, a thread of life will ultimately remain."

"The second is that the True Qi within your body will become ceaseless and enduring, stretching far into the distance."

Lu Jun's eyes lit up.

Judging by his Divine Ability, his current role was that of an existence with astonishing speed who mastered illusions and was extremely difficult to catch. With this cultivation art, he would gain more health and mana. Basically, as long as he kept kiting his enemies, everything would be fine.

Although he was very satisfied, Lu Jun still wanted to see what came next.

Old Man Yun continued introducing it. "This one is called the True Martial Demon Quelling Art. Its effects are just like this cultivation art itself—it is an art of extreme slaughter."

"Your True Qi will transform into Demon-Quelling True Qi. Your Innate Divine Ability may also gradually evolve and take on the unique aura of slaughter from this cultivation art."

"However, this cultivation art also has certain limitations. Its damage against demons and monsters will be doubled, but its power against Law Seekers will be reduced."

"To be honest, I think this one is the most suitable for you."

But Lu Jun didn't think so.

You've got to be kidding. What if someone tries to stop me from slaying demons and monsters?

Lu Jun had to cut off every possible threat that could interfere with his slaughter of demons and monsters.

This cultivation art was rejected by Lu Jun almost instantly.

Old Man Yun took out the final cultivation art and introduced it:

"This is the Myriad Forests Ghost Control Art. With this cultivation art, you can control 'soul-type demons and monsters,' and can even absorb them to refine your cultivation."

"This cultivation art can be said to offer the fastest cultivation speed."

Lu Jun rejected it without even thinking.

Demons and monsters all deserved to die!

Lu Jun had no time to control demons and monsters. As for absorbing them to refine his cultivation—heh, he still needed his Demon Life Essence.

This could be said to be the most useless one.

Lu Jun thought for a moment and felt that perhaps the first one, the Azure Dragon Hair Growth Art, was the most suitable of the three cultivation arts.

But then Lu Jun looked toward the final scroll.

"Senior Yun, what is this?"

Old Man Yun spoke with a genial smile. "This is a Visualization Diagram."

"A Visualization Diagram?" Lu Jun asked inquisitively.

Old Man Yun said, "A Visualization Diagram isn't a cultivation art, but all cultivation arts were extended from Visualization Diagrams. Law Seekers comprehend cultivation arts by observing Visualization Diagrams, then spread those cultivation arts afterward."

"It can be said that the cultivation art comprehended from a Visualization Diagram is the most suitable cultivation art for you, because it is deduced by combining your body and soul."

"However, the sole drawback of a Visualization Diagram is that it requires extraordinary comprehension. Some people can comprehend a cultivation art in a single day, but most people can stare at one for their entire lives without seeing any cultivation art within it."

Lu Jun's eyes lit up. "I want to try."

Can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author instead. Perhaps it was merely renamed!

Old Man Yun smiled. "Then give it a try..."

With that, Old Man Yun gently untied the silk cord wrapped around the scroll.

The next second, the scroll suddenly unfurled completely before Lu Jun.

"Take a look at this Myriad Heavens River Lord Subduing Flood Dragon Diagram..."

The instant he saw the scroll, Lu Jun's pupils contracted. Green Zombie stood rigidly before the painting, even his breathing missing half a beat.

Within the painting,

Ink-black waves surged before his eyes—he clearly saw blue-black river water flowing across the paper. A savage flood dragon twisted its body and churned up whirlpools. Every scale shone with a dim green, icy light, while the waves swept up by its tail came crashing forward like the raging waters of reality.

Yet even such a mighty flood dragon was nailed firmly beneath a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade, as insignificant as an earthworm struggling desperately beneath it.

Look upward.

Lu Jun also saw the true protagonist of the painting.

He wore a Three-Mountain Flying Phoenix Crown, a dark dragon-patterned battle armor, and a vermilion silk-and-jade belt around his waist. His feet were clad in Cloud-Treading, Wave-Rolling Boots. His face was heroic, with swordlike brows and starry eyes. His features bore the unique indifference and majesty of a god, his divine might vast and mighty, making people afraid to look directly at him.

Behind him was Sky-Covering Eagle, flapping its wings and blotting out the sky and sun, its expression fierce.

But what truly shocked Lu Jun was the golden Divine Eye opened on the River Lord's forehead.

At that moment, the golden Divine Eye stared directly at Lu Jun through the painting. Supreme divine might carried a casual scrutiny that faintly swept across Lu Jun's entire body.

"River Lord... Divine Eye... Sky-Covering Eagle... Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade..."

"True Lord, Pure Source, Wondrous Dao!!!"

"True Lord Erlang Manifesting Holiness!!!"

"Isn't this Yang Jian!!!"

Lu Jun's heart suddenly tightened!

Old Man Yun, meanwhile, said with a grin, "Quite a shock, wasn't it..."

"That's how Visualization Diagrams are. Most of them have gods, divine beasts, or fierce beasts as their protagonists. They more or less carry some of the painted figure's divinity, and the cultivation arts comprehended from them are also generally connected to the figures being visualized."

"This River Lord should be a water god stationed in some region... However, despite all these years, I have never found any clues concerning his legends, nor have I ever found his shrine..."

"Moreover, quite a few people have wanted to comprehend a cultivation art from this Visualization Diagram over the years, but not one of them has succeeded..."

"So, as far as the benefits it brings are concerned, the answer remains unknown for now."

"But in the end, he is a god. Surely his strength can't be too lacking..."

"A water god? His strength can't be too lacking?"

This big brother was a heavenly war god whose battle prowess soared to the heavens!

He had attained sainthood through his physical body, withstanding magical treasures head-on with his flesh.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Art—his Divine Ability was at the pinnacle even among immortals and gods.

Lu Jun raised his brows and said nothing. He simply grabbed Old Man Yun's hand.

"Senior, please lend me the Visualization Diagram so I can visualize it!"

Old Man Yun was stunned, somewhat unable to understand why Lu Jun had suddenly become so fired up.

However, comprehending a cultivation art through a Visualization Diagram was indeed the best method, though it was also the most difficult.

Lu Jun's enterprising spirit was still worthy of praise.

Originally, he had been worried that Lu Jun would become arrogant after learning that he was a genius.

It seemed he had worried too much.

Old Man Yun lent the Visualization Diagram to Lu Jun and instructed him at the same time, "I'll lend it to you for seven days. If you haven't succeeded after seven days, it would be best to give up. Although cultivation arts obtained from Visualization Diagrams are excellent, don't become obsessed and fall into demonic delusion."

Lu Jun nodded, then hurriedly floated back into the room.
