The thought vanished, and a pitch-black ancient tome appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
The tome seemed cast from flowing water. Held in his hand, it carried a strange softness, entirely deep black. When he stared at its cover, he had the illusion that even his soul was about to be sucked inside.
Lu Xuan steadied his mind and focused on the pitch-black tome in his hand. At once, detailed information about it appeared in his mind.
"Netherworld True Water Forbidden Art," a Sixth Grade cultivation method, the fundamental cultivation art of the ancient Evil Sect, the Netherworld Sect. When cultivated to profound depths, it could unleash Netherworld True Water. The true water had the effect of dissolving all things, capable of breaking down souls, Physical Bodies, and even magic tools and magic treasures.
"A Sixth Grade cultivation method, on the same level as the Blood God Scripture. Still, I can try cultivating it."
Lu Xuan was delighted and thought to himself.
The Blood God Scripture was too domineering and conspicuous. After cultivating it, one could easily draw attention. As for this Netherworld True Water Forbidden Art, just by looking at its effects, one could tell it was a superior cultivation method for destroying corpses and erasing traces, suitable for assassination, dirty tricks, and similar situations—perfectly fitting Lu Xuan's character.
He opened the pages and skimmed them briefly. A phantom of a pitch-black river stretching for ten thousand li appeared in his sea of consciousness, winding and twisting, changing in myriad ways.
"Good thing the effects of that Purification Glazed Tea Leaf I took before are still lingering a little. Otherwise, with my aptitude, looking at this Sixth Grade cultivation method would be like browsing a heavenly book."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
There were still two Purification Glazed Tea Leaves left.
