Since each glowing pillar had to be checked individually, the search was quite time-consuming.
After about half a day of searching:
“Hm? This *Canglong Chant* can be learned by humans,” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up, finally discovering the first secret manual suitable for human cultivation.
The manuals placed here were all quite powerful, which was why the number one could choose was limited.
Lin Yun examined it. The *Canglong Chant* was a sonic attack skill, enabling the user to unleash a dragon’s roar of astonishing power after cultivation.
Lin Yun didn’t rush to choose it and continued to the next pillar.
“Huh? Another dragon race manual suitable for humans,” Lin Yun said, surprised.
He checked several more pillars in succession, finding they all contained manuals humans could learn.
It seemed the manuals were categorised.
There was a specific category for those suitable for human cultivation, which was quite rare.
But on reflection, it wasn’t too surprising. Since the Qianlong Tower was left by the Dragon Emperor, who was a close friend of the Human Emperor, it made sense that he’d create and categorise manuals specifically for humans.
These manuals were not only suitable for humans but also exceptionally powerful.
Soon, a manual called *Divine Dragon Claw* caught Lin Yun’s eye.
This was a dragon race manual exclusively designed for human cultivation!
Indeed, it was tailored entirely for humans, with every aspect of its cultivation method crafted for them.
Unlike the *Canglong Chant*, which could be learned by other races as well, this was human-specific.
Lin Yun reviewed its description. Its attack style was somewhat similar to his *Heaven-Shaking Hand*.
But the *Divine Dragon Claw* was clearly far superior to the *Heaven-Shaking Hand*.
The description also noted that this manual required a strong physical foundation, with a minimum cultivation requirement of the Human Tribulation Realm, though it was recommended for those in the Eternal Realm.
These manuals didn’t have clear top-tier classifications, but Lin Yun was certain it was exceptional!
“This *Divine Dragon Claw* is quite promising,” Lin Yun said, clearly interested.
His *Heaven-Shaking Hand* had reached perfection long ago and could no longer be improved.
Back in the Tribulation Realm, the *Heaven-Shaking Hand* had been a tremendous asset for Lin Yun.
But as his strength and realm grew, its inability to advance further meant its ability to help him fight above his level weakened over time.
After all, the *Heaven-Shaking Hand* was only a Heavenly Dao-level manual. In the Mahayana or Tribulation Realms, it was impressive, as most enemies used Saint Spirit-level manuals or lower.
But for the current Lin Yun, such a manual no longer met his needs.
It wasn’t that the *Heaven-Shaking Hand* was weak, but the enemies threatening him now were far stronger, no longer at the Mahayana or Tribulation Realm level.
Those who could threaten Lin Yun now were at the Dominion Realm, where Heavenly Dao or Origin-level manuals were common. Even a perfected *Heaven-Shaking Hand* would have increasingly limited use.
If he could learn the *Divine Dragon Claw* to replace it, that would undoubtedly be ideal.
“I’ll keep looking. There might be something even better.”
Lin Yun didn’t rush to choose, deciding to browse further, as the dragon race manuals in the Qianlong Tower were all excellent, but he could only pick one.
So, he continued his search.
Soon, another manual caught his attention: the *Dragon Condensation Art*. It allowed the user to channel internal energy to form a dragon made of energy to attack enemies, with immense power and dragon race pressure. It was also suitable for humans and, when mastered to a certain level, could easily enable cross-realm combat!
Still, Lin Yun didn’t choose immediately and kept looking.
Though this area contained manuals and techniques suitable for humans, their number was limited. It didn’t take long for Lin Yun to finish browsing.
The Qianlong Tower primarily housed manuals and techniques for true dragons.
Though the human-compatible dragon race manuals were a minority here, they were absolute masterpieces!
If Lin Yun’s guess was correct, they were all created by the Dragon Emperor himself. For him to leave them here, they had to be exceptional.
“Which one should I choose?” Lin Yun murmured.
They were all excellent, of the highest quality. Any one of them would be coveted by human Dominion Realm cultivators!
But Lin Yun could only pick one.
“I’ll go with the *Divine Dragon Claw*.”
After some thought, Lin Yun made his decision.
He chose the *Divine Dragon Claw* for a simple reason: it could replace the *Heaven-Shaking Hand*.
More importantly, for Lin Yun, its cultivation difficulty was likely lower than the *Dragon Condensation Art*.
Not that the *Divine Dragon Claw* was easy to cultivate—its difficulty might even surpass the *Dragon Condensation Art*, as it demanded an exceptionally strong physique, a significant barrier for most human cultivators.
But for Lin Yun, this was precisely his strength. This was why he had previously mastered the *Heaven-Shaking Hand* to perfection. For other human Eternal Realm cultivators, even if they obtained the *Heaven-Shaking Hand*, a weaker physique would prevent them from reaching such a high level, let alone perfection.
If Lin Yun chose the *Dragon Condensation Art*, his progress might be slower, and he could easily get stuck.
At this level, mastering such manuals was extraordinarily challenging!
Even the most powerful manual would be of limited use if it couldn’t be mastered to a sufficient degree.
Lin Yun had to choose based on his strengths and advantages.
With his decision made, Lin Yun went to the *Divine Dragon Claw* pillar, injected his internal energy, and activated it.
A flood of information about the *Divine Dragon Claw* poured into his mind.
The transmission took some time to complete.
“Truly impressive!”
After receiving the full version of the *Divine Dragon Claw* and skimming it, Lin Yun could already sense its immense power!
Mastering it would undoubtedly give him another formidable technique!
“What a pity I can only choose one. It’d be great to pick another,” Lin Yun sighed.
Having seen so many impressive dragon race manuals and techniques, he couldn’t help but feel reluctant.
But he knew that greed could lead to overload. He already had plenty to cultivate, and taking more would stretch his energy too thin.
After obtaining the *Divine Dragon Claw*, Lin Yun left to rendezvous with Little Azure Dragon.
