I Have a Book of Investiture of the Gods

Zhao Zheng had transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation. The cultivators in this world relied on visualizing powerful existences to obtain strength. Some visualized the prehistoric beasts, some visualized the evil spirits, some visualized the sun, moon, and stars, some visualized the mountains, rivers, and seas. All living beings could be visualized. Zhao Zheng was a disciple of Mount Qingping, but he was unable to visualize the Qingping Sword in three years. He was about to be expelled from the sect to work as a laborer. He was really unlucky. One had to know that this was a world of immortal cultivation. Ordinary people could encounter a calamity at any time. Therefore, it was impossible to be a mortal. Only by cultivating could he maintain his life like this. At this moment, a book called " Investiture of the Gods " in Zhao Zheng's mind began to shine with infinite light. It was even a high-definition video version.
