Two versions he had never seen before!

Lu Yan's heart immediately trembled, and he quickly examined the new version information. As for the Version Change Value of only 0.2%, he directly ignored it.

The Martial God Version seemed to be a world based on the martial arts system at first glance, but combined with the sentence after the version name, Lu Yan was basically certain that the so-called Martial God referred to the Magnetic Field Martial God.

The Magnetic Field Martial Arts system had an extremely high upper limit, and there were even many methods for rapid combat power growth. If he could obtain the cultivation method for Magnetic Field Martial Arts, it would greatly enhance Lu Yan's strength.

However... there were hardly any normal people who cultivated Magnetic Field Martial Arts!

Once the crazy Martial Gods started fighting, a group of bystanders would be sacrificed in minutes.

Even if Lu Yan entered the Martial God Version and chose to lie low, he might still be wiped out by a passing crazy person. Its danger level was almost the same as the Mysterious Version and Myth Version.

Thinking of the potentially violent "Four Madmen" that might appear, a shiver immediately ran down Lu Yan's spine, and he quickly shifted his gaze to the other Online Game Version.

Actually, just considering the Online Game Version, Lu Yan was quite interested.

In Lu Yan's impression, as long as it wasn't a death game where losing one life meant restarting life, the Online Game Version would at least not have any major crises.

The only problem was that the time point of 2077 made Lu Yan associate it with something very unpleasant.

There were too many types of Online Game Versions, and they were too uncontrollable.

From interstellar online games that directly connected to interstellar society, to fantasy online games that used online games as a medium to travel to other worlds and conquer continents, and even multi-dimensional lord online games where otherworldly lords established territories and even ascended to godhood.

These online games had the ability to interfere with reality. Regardless of which one it was, they all had extremely high value, even exceeding the Apocalypse Version.

However, the lower limit of the Online Game Version was also very low.

Cyber generator online games where one became a brain in a vat, Fourth Disaster online games where one was treated as a laborer from another world by a behind-the-scenes manipulator, and death online games personally designed by the old rogue Miyazaki.

Let alone playing these games, it would be good enough not to be played by the games themselves.

Of course, putting aside these extremes, the most numerous were ordinary types of virtual online games.

These types of online games were just pure virtual games and could not interfere with reality.

Even if equipment was dropped in the game, it could only be exchanged for money, which had no value to Lu Yan.

If Lu Yan didn't have the crisis of version updates, he could consider taking a gamble in the Online Game Version.

If he was lucky, he would reach the sky in one step. If his luck was average, he would just take a break for a version. If his luck was bad and he encountered a scam online game, he could just abandon the game and lie low.

But at this stage, Lu Yan did not have the capital to gamble.

The foundation of the system he cultivated was in the Xianxia Version. Whether it was the most basic spells for cultivators, the secrets behind the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra and subsequent cultivation methods, or the elixirs and Spirit Stones that aided cultivation, these were Lu Yan's most urgent needs at this stage.

As more and more versions appeared, the probability of encountering a specific version would gradually decrease. Lu Yan was not sure when the next time would be if he missed the Xianxia Version this time.

The Xianxia Version might not offer a chance to reach the sky in one step, but it was definitely the most stable choice.

With this thought, Lu Yan decisively made his choice.

"Update, Xianxia Version!"

Heaven and earth instantly stood still, and then the tall buildings in front of Lu Yan began to collapse like building blocks, as if they had experienced tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes in an instant.

In just a moment, what appeared before Lu Yan was a desolate wilderness with no one in sight.

The pervasive stench of decay that constantly filled the air in the Apocalypse Version was gone. The large trees in the forest provided clean air for living beings. Taking a deep breath of the fresh scent made Lu Yan feel a subconscious sense of unease.

Looking around, Lu Yan immediately put the Hundred Soul Banner in his storage bag and changed into an Azure Ancient Style Robe he had prepared back in the Urban Version.

The Xianxia Version was not the desolate Apocalypse Version where Lu Yan could freely use the Hundred Soul Banner to refine souls.

A Soul Banner was a great taboo for orthodox sects. If he were to expose the Soul Banner rashly, he would definitely be besieged by the orthodox path.

Even the demonic path didn't dare to openly refine Soul Banners, only using them in secret.

"In the Apocalypse Version, zombies were completely countered by Vengeful Souls and the Soul Banner in terms of their system. Aside from their own extraordinary power, they had almost no means to counter Vengeful Souls."

"But in the Cultivation Version, even Qi Refining Stage cultivators, though they haven't developed divine sense, can perceive the existence of Vengeful Souls with just their spiritual sense. Both magic tools and mana can easily harm Vengeful Souls."

"In this situation, the use of the Hundred Soul Banner must be extremely cautious."

"Under normal circumstances, avoid using the Hundred Soul Banner as much as possible. Once it is used, make sure to eliminate the roots and leave no survivors to prevent the matter of the Hundred Soul Banner from being leaked and attracting the wrath of the orthodox path."

Lu Yan secretly made up his mind.

Although the Hundred Soul Banner was restricted in the Xianxia Version, it was ultimately a trump card that allowed Lu Yan to contend with Foundation Establishment cultivators during the Qi Refining Stage, enough to ensure Lu Yan's safety in most situations.

Foundation Establishment cultivators could already be called important figures. Most rogue cultivators in the Xianxia Version were also in the Qi Refining Stage. Cultivators who could advance to Foundation Establishment either joined large sects or established their own cultivation families.

As long as he kept a low profile and didn't provoke major forces, Lu Yan didn't have to worry about exposing himself.

On the surface, Lu Yan was just a small cultivator at the Third Layer Qi Refining. No Foundation Establishment cultivator would deliberately investigate Lu Yan.

Taking out a low-grade first-tier Flight Talisman from his storage bag, Lu Yan ascended into the air to observe the surrounding environment.

The environment in different versions was not the same, so during the version update process, the mountains, rivers, and terrain of these versions would also undergo certain changes.

When Lu Yan ascended into the air, he found that this place was not the area around the Bamboo Forest Market he was familiar with.

There were no cities within a radius of dozens of miles. Lu Yan couldn't find any passersby to ask for the location of the nearest market, so he could only take out a low-grade Spirit Attraction Talisman.

The activated Spirit Attraction Talisman turned into a golden light, guiding Lu Yan in a direction.

The Spirit Attraction Talisman was a special pathfinding talisman that could search for the nearest spiritual vein and guide the way. These spiritual vein locations were mostly occupied by sects, families, or cultivation markets. Using this method to find the nearest gathering area for cultivators was very convenient.

He flew for a full half an hour, consuming two Flight Talismans in the process, before finally arriving at a valley.

A mist formation was carved on the outer edge of the valley, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter, but cultivators could easily see through the mist formation by circulating their mana.

And in the center of the mist, four large characters were clearly written on a huge stone.

Azure Valley Market!

Lu Yan showed a hint of surprise. Although he had never left the Bamboo Forest Market, he knew the name of the Azure Valley Market because this market was also one of the markets under the Jade Polishing Fairy, about two hundred miles away from the Bamboo Forest Market.

However, the quality of the spiritual vein in the Azure Valley Market was slightly higher than that of the Bamboo Forest Market, so the Azure Valley Market was larger in scale and population than the Bamboo Forest Market.

With a hint of curiosity, Lu Yan stepped into this market.
