Chapter 509 Selfless Formless Sword

“Imperial Lord, please take a look . ” The red-robed Supremacy flipped his hand and produced a book . He handed it to Meng Chuan respectfully .

Meng Chuan flipped open the book .

The book described the 19 Imperial Lord-level techniques in detail . Meng Chuan glanced at them briefly before focusing on the painting catalogue manual’s description .

The Selfless Formless Sword’s creator, Huang Yong, was an Essence Soul Third Tribulation Eminence . He was a mortal master artist who eventually became a cultivator . He used his sword as a brush and created a perfected Imperial Lord-level technique-Selfless Formless Sword .

This sword art was famous for its many variations . It had a total of 33,000 moves . Once it was used, he could be seen everywhere within 15,000 kilometers . It was as though he was in every spot within 15,000 kilometers simultaneously . Simultaneously, he could use the 33,000 sword moves to create a painting . The technique’s might was unimaginable . However, it was extremely difficult to learn it because there were many sword moves-each of them was extremely profound .

Though this was the case, one could ignore all the manual’s sword moves and directly study the five paintings in the manual . If one could comprehend the five paintings, they could also cultivate the sword art to perfection, allowing them to reach the perfected Heaven Earth realm .

Meng Chuan glanced at the sword art’s moves . Meng Chuan was looking forward to seeing what a perfected sword technique had to offer . “That sword art technique is actually a painting?” Meng Chuan pointed at the old book .

The red-robed Supremacy smiled and said, “Imperial Lord, to be honest, instead of calling this Selfless Formless Sword a sword art, it’s actually more like a brush technique! The brush technique is unpredictable, and it’s extremely difficult to master it . However, if one can directly comprehend its essence from the paintings, one’s cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds . ”

“It’s well painted . ” Meng Chuan stared at the old painting catalogue . The surface depicted the first painting . The array formation stopped one from probing it with the consciousness, but he could see it with his naked eye .

Meng Chuan examined the first painting…

Meng Chuan could see through the bones, intent, and soul of the painting at a glance . Each brushstroke looked like they were two different strokes, but in reality, the painter had just varied their brush speed-fast and slow .

The brushstrokes’ speed, heaviness, fluidity, realism, and variability… With a single glance, Meng Chuan split the first painting into thousands of brushstrokes in his heart .

Meng Chuan seemed to see Senior Huang Yong personally painting it live . The first painting was only at the Dharma Domain realm, so Meng Chuan completely comprehended the first painting with just a glance . This Selfless Formless Sword is not from the lightning lineage, but it’s not from the water or fire lineage either . Instead, it’s a brush technique that only uses void laws . Meng Chuan nodded slightly .

Huang Yong had used his brush technique to enter the Dao before focusing on the void lineage . Meng Chuan looked relaxed .

“The painting is pretty good . I’ll buy this manual . ” Meng Chuan looked at the red-robed Supremacy . “Name your price . ”

“Buy?” The red-robed Supremacy was taken aback .

One just needed to learn a legacy once, yet he wanted to buy it?

“Sister Li, this Imperial Lord wants to buy Selfless Formless Sword’s original copy . He wants to make a bid . This is yours . Hurry up and make a decision . ” The red-robed Supremacy secretly sent a voice transmission . The other four Supremacies beside him also noticed this .

“Just learning the legacy once would do . Why does he want to buy the original copy? Wouldn’t that cost more Essence Crystals?”

“It’s a good thing to earn more Essence Crystals . Sister Li, your homeworld should have more than one copy of the Selfless Formless Sword manual, right?”

“That is the only copy,” said the female Supremacy via voice transmission . “Senior Huang Yong isn’t a cultivator from my homeworld . This was originally bought in the outer realm and taken back to my homeworld . It’s said that one can comprehend the technique’s essence by studying the paintings . However, nobody in my homeworld has mastered Selfless Formless Sword, even after millions of years . Therefore, I brought it here . ”

“Hurry up and give me a price, but don’t scare this Imperial Lord . After all, he’s an Imperial Lord . Imperial Lord-level techniques are useful to them . ”

“I won’t sell it for too low a price . After all, it’s the original copy . ”

As the five Supremacies conversed, the cyan-clothed female Supremacy walked over and bowed respectfully . “Greetings, Imperial Lord . This Selfless Formless Sword manual belongs to my homeworld . I had no choice but to take it here to sell it . If you want it, you can have it for eight Outer Realm Essence Crystals . ”

“Eight Outer Realm Essence Crystals?” Meng Chuan shook his head and smiled . “I can buy two to three Third Tribulation treasures with that price . ”

An Outer Realm Essence Crystal could be exchanged for one ordinary Imperial Lord-level treasure .

He had to exchange eight Imperial Lord-level treasures for an Imperial Lord-level technique’s original copy? “After all, it was written by a Tribulation Eminence,” said the female cyan-robed Supremacy .

“Regardless of whose work it is, it’s ultimately an Imperial Lord-level ultimate technique,” said Meng Chuan with a frown . “I can accept the price of five Outer Realm Essence Crystals . It’s fine if you don’t agree . ”

He could negotiate the price with the Supremacies as an ‘Imperial Lord . ’ He didn’t want to be too long-winded .

The female cyan-clothed Supremacy pondered for a moment . Although one only requires a single Outer Realm Essence Crystal to learn all 19 Imperial Lord-level techniques, only a handful of people are willing to pay the price to learn them during the Treasure Auction . The price this Imperial Lord gave is the typical price for a perfected Imperial Lord-level ultimate technique’s original copy! “Alright, I’ll sell it to you, Imperial Lord,” said the cyan-clothed Supremacy with a smile .

After buying the manual, Meng Chuan returned to his cave abode . He couldn’t help but begin perusing the manual . Meng Chuan became even more excited when he started studying it .

He had picked up a treasure!

Cultivators usually had to be compatible with the ultimate technique if they wanted to learn it! Even if Meng Chuan was given many ultimate techniques, he would feel a headache trying to learn them! If they weren’t compatible with him, he would take a long time to learn them!

In the past, Meng Chuan practiced swift saber techniques . When his cultivation realm had later become high enough, the World Roving Dragon Saber was quite suitable for him . However, Meng Chuan still felt that it wasn’t good enough . He modified it and created the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, which was more suitable for him .

Beautiful . Meng Chuan had already learned the legacy, but he continued flipping through the book, engrossed with its contents .

His Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique used the world as a canvas, but its core was the lightning lineage’s profundities . The Selfless Formless Sword was a brush technique that also used the world as a canvas . Furthermore, it was purer than Meng Chuan’s self-created technique!

Meng Chuan was rather talented in the lightning lineage . He created the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique with his understanding of the lightning lineage’s profundities .

Huang Yong’s talent in other aspects wasn’t high . He also didn’t follow a specific cultivation system . Instead, he only incorporated the void lineage’s profundities into his brush techniques, making it even purer .

Amazing . The way Huang Yong uses the brush has reached a godly level . The third painting looks like it’s composed of 3,6000 strokes, but the entire painting is actually just a single brushstroke . He utilizes realism . I’m very inferior to him . Meng Chuan stared at the paintings in admiration . After all, as a perfected Imperial Lord-level technique, the Selfless Formless Sword uses realism as one of its cores . Meng Chuan had extremely high attainments in painting . He wasn’t inferior to Huang Yong at all . However, Huang Yong had extremely high attainments in the void lineage . He had fused the void lineage’s profundities into his brush, making it even more magical . Though this was the case, Meng Chuan’s learning process was very smooth . Meng Chuan easily combined the so-called 33,00 sword moves and managed to form paintings . At the very least, Meng Chuan had fully understood the first three paintings .

The fourth painting is at the Heaven Earth realm . Meng Chuan flipped open the page containing the fourth painting and carefully studied it .

Realism and domain?

Meng Chuan continued staring at the fourth painting . He dissected the brushstrokes and comprehended their uniqueness .

It took time to dissect a painting, which was why he bought the painting manual . Just accepting the legacy would provide him fewer benefits than constantly deciphering the profoundness behind every brushstroke in the painting catalogue .

So it wasn’t actually two cores . The Selfless Formless Sword uses domain as its core . Realism and the selfless concept is to realize the domain…

Meng Chuan continued studying the painting and gradually understood the painting’s essence . However, it wasn’t easy to master it completely . The concepts of realism and selfless were both the void lineage’s profundities . These concepts had to be infused into one’s brushstrokes before they could form a domain naturally .

Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was considered a top-notch Supremacy-level ultimate technique . After it reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm, Meng Chuan was very vexed about how he should break through to the Heaven Earth realm .

However, after learning Selfless Formless Sword, Meng Chuan was no longer vexed . He pushed the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique aside and temporarily focused on learning the sword art . His insights into the void lineage rapidly fused with the Selfless Formless Sword, making his attainments in the sword art soar to the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm . He even headed straight for the Heaven Earth realm .

While he was cultivating, the Treasure Auction started .
