Yang Jian!

"For us who seek the Way, cultivation methods are extremely important, especially the choice of the first one, which requires extreme caution."

"Even if you are born with Spiritual Power, the power and characteristics of a cultivation method will gradually integrate into you as you practice it."

"It's not impossible to switch to another cultivation method later, but there will always be some incompatibility between them, which might weaken your strength or Spiritual Power."

Hearing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but become serious.

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

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

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

"The effects of this cultivation method are also incredibly potent."

"First, it greatly amplifies two aspects. One is your physical body and vitality, which will be greatly enhanced. Even if you suffer a fatal injury, as long as it's not absolutely fatal, there will still be a sliver of hope for survival."

"Second, the True Qi within your body will become inexhaustible, long-lasting, and enduring."

Lu Jun's eyes lit up.

Based on his Spiritual Power, his current role was that of an extremely fast individual skilled in illusions, making him hard to catch. Now, with this cultivation method, it was like adding HP and MP. He could basically just kite his enemies indefinitely.

Although satisfied, Lu Jun still wanted to see the rest.

Old Man Yun continued, "This one is called the True Martial Demon Quelling Art. Its effects are just like its name – it's a cultivation method focused on extreme slaughter."

"Your True Qi will transform into Demon Quelling True Qi, and your innate Spiritual Power might also gradually evolve to possess the unique killing aura of this cultivation method."

"However, this cultivation method also has a certain limitation: its lethality is doubled against demons and monsters, but its power is reduced when used against those who seek the Way."

"Honestly, I think this one is the most suitable for you."

But Lu Jun didn't think so.

What a joke! What if he encountered someone who wanted to stop him from killing demons and monsters!

Lu Jun wanted to eliminate all potential threats that could hinder him from killing demons and monsters.

This cultivation method was instantly dismissed by Lu Jun.

Old Man Yun took out the last cultivation method and introduced it:

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

"This cultivation method is arguably the fastest for cultivation."

Lu Jun refused without even thinking.

Demons and monsters deserve to die!

Lu Jun had no time to control demons and monsters. As for absorbing them to refine his cultivation? Hmph, he still had his own demon and monster life essence to use.

This was arguably the most useless one.

Lu Jun pondered for a moment and felt that the first one, the Azure Dragon Life Generation Art, might be the most suitable for him among these three cultivation methods.

But Lu Jun's gaze then fell upon the last scroll.

"Senior Yun, what is this?"

Old Man Yun chuckled and said, "This is a Visualization Diagram."

"Visualization Diagram?" Lu Jun asked, confused.

Old Man Yun explained, "A Visualization Diagram is not a cultivation method, but all cultivation methods are derived from them. Seekers comprehend cultivation methods by observing Visualization Diagrams, and then they spread them."

"You could say that the cultivation method derived from a Visualization Diagram is the most suitable for you, as it's a method deduced by combining your body and soul."

"However, the only drawback of a Visualization Diagram is that it requires considerable comprehension. Some people can comprehend a cultivation method in a day, but most people can't comprehend it even after a lifetime."

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

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!

Old Man Yun smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try..."

With that, Old Man Yun gently untied the silk rope holding the scroll together.

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

"Behold this Myriad Heavens River Lord Subduing Flood Dragon Diagram..."

The moment he saw the scroll, Lu Jun's pupils contracted. He stood before the painting, his breath catching in his throat.

Within the scroll, Ink-black waves churned before his eyes—he could clearly see dark green river water flowing on the paper. A terrifyingly ferocious flood dragon writhed, its body twisting and stirring up whirlpools. Every scale gleamed with a cold, dark green light. The waves kicked up by its tail surged as if they were real.

Yet, even this incredibly powerful flood dragon was pinned down by a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade, appearing like a minuscule earthworm struggling desperately.

Looking up.

Lu Jun also saw the true protagonist of this painting.

He wore a Three Mountains Flying Phoenix Crown, clad in dark dragon-patterned armor, a crimson sash around his waist, and boots treading on swirling clouds. His face was heroic, with sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, carrying a divine indifference and majesty that made it impossible to look directly at him.

Behind him, a Sky-Covering Eagle flapped its wings, blotting out the sun, its expression ferocious.

What truly startled Lu Jun was the golden Divine Eye opened on the River Lord's forehead.

At this moment, the golden Divine Eye stared directly at Lu Jun through the scroll, its supreme divine might sweeping over Lu Jun's body with a casual scrutiny.

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

"True Lord of the Pure Origin and Wondrous Way!!!"

"True Lord Erlang Manifesting Holiness!!!"

"Isn't that Yang Jian!!!"

Lu Jun's heart suddenly grew solemn!

Old Man Yun chuckled, "Surprised, aren't you..."

"Visualization Diagrams are like this. Most of them feature deities or ferocious beasts as the main characters, and they carry some of the divinity of the depicted figures. The cultivation methods visualized are also mostly related to the characters in the paintings."

"This River Lord should be a water god guarding a certain area... However, I haven't found any legends or clues about him over the years, nor have I found any temples dedicated to him..."

"Furthermore, many people have wanted to comprehend cultivation methods from this Visualization Diagram over the years, but not a single one has succeeded..."

"So, the benefits it brings are currently an unknown."

"But after all, it's a deity, so its strength shouldn't be too weak..."

A water god? Not too weak?

This guy was a heavenly war god with astounding combat power!

His physical body achieved sainthood, capable of withstanding magical artifacts with his bare flesh.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Art, even among top-tier immortals and gods, his divine abilities were unparalleled.

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow and didn't say much, merely grasping Old Man Yun's hand:

"Senior, please, you must lend me the Visualization Diagram to observe!"

Old Man Yun was stunned, not quite understanding why Lu Jun had suddenly become so enthusiastic.

However, while visualizing a Visualization Diagram was indeed the best way to cultivate, it was also the most difficult.

Lu Jun's ambition was certainly commendable.

He had initially worried that Lu Jun might become arrogant after realizing he was a genius.

It turned out he was overthinking it.

Old Man Yun lent the Visualization Diagram to Lu Jun, also cautioning him, "You can observe it for seven days. If you haven't succeeded by then, it's best to give up. While the cultivation methods gained from Visualization Diagrams are excellent, don't become obsessed or fall into delusion."

Lu Jun nodded, then quickly floated back to his room.
