To Chu Mu, the difficulty of the Sword Scripture wasn't high. He quickly comprehended it.
One had to know that the Phaseless Palace's disciples, from the ordinary disciples to the core disciples, had the highest cultivation at the peak of the third step Great Emperor Realm. Above the core disciples, the majority of the esoteric disciples were at the third step Great Emperor Realm. Only a few of them were able to surpass the Great Emperor Realm and reach the Minor Sovereign Realm.
Cultivation wasn't the symbol of the Phaseless Palace's disciples' status. However, the level of cultivation was related to the level of array dao attainments. Although it wasn't absolute, it was suitable for the majority of people.
The higher the cultivation, the higher the realm, and the deeper the understanding of the Heavenly Dao. The Array Dao, to a certain extent, could be considered as a branch of the Heavenly Dao. It was an alternative interpretation of the Heavenly Dao.
In the end, no matter what dao one cultivated, it would ultimately lead to the Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao of the Primal Chaos Universe's origin. There was more or less a connection between them.
On the other hand, one's array dao attainments also required the support of cultivation. Otherwise, one would only be a theoretical grandmaster.
Other than those who entered the Phaseless Divine Palace by challenging the Phaseless Sky Pagoda, the other disciples who were recruited through the Phaseless Divine Palace's mountain gate would usually start cultivating from a low cultivation and gradually increase their cultivation.
Chu Mu belonged to the former. As a core disciple, he had a cultivation that far surpassed the ordinary core disciples. This was also one of his advantages.
Chu Mu didn't spend much time to comprehend the twelve layers of the Sword Scripture. He even comprehended the essence of the scripture and simulated it.
Under the simulation, there wasn't any difficulty in cultivating it. This also allowed Chu Mu to know the effects of cultivating the Sword Scripture.
The [Sword Sutra] was the inherited cultivation method of the [Sword Sutra], and it was also the main cultivation method of the [Sword Sutra]. Cultivating the [Sword Sutra] would form a unique Yuan Qi. It wouldn't have a powerful attack power, nor would it have any defensive power or self-healing ability. It could be said that the cultivators of the [Sword Sutra] had very weak combat power, and would often become the target of others who were stronger than them.
However, there were two benefits to cultivating the Sword Scripture. The first was that the Sword Scripture would provide an obvious boost to one's cultivation of the Dao of Formations. The second was that when one used the Sword Scripture's Origin Energy to set up a formation, the might of the formation would be greatly improved.
The Sword Aspect Sutra was the legacy cultivation method of the Sword Aspect Hall. Naturally, it would amplify the array of the Sword Aspect Hall.
It could be said that cultivators of the Sword Scripture were like kittens when they did not use formations. However, when they used formations, they were fierce tigers.
After the simulation, Chu Mu began to cultivate the Sword Scripture. The Sword Scripture was a unique cultivation technique. It wouldn't clash with the cultivation technique he was cultivating. Instead, it could exist at the same time, and the essence force he cultivated wouldn't clash with each other.
In theory, the twelfth level of the Sword Physique Scripture was equivalent to the limit of a Third Step Great Emperor. In other words, even if one cultivated the twelfth level of the Sword Physique Scripture, the highest cultivation level would be the limit of a Third Step Great Emperor. In order to reach the Sovereign Realm, one would need a more profound Sword Physique Scripture.
Not long after, Chu Mu had cultivated the Sword Scripture to the limit of the twelfth layer. He opened his palm, and an almost transparent ball of Origin Power circulated in his palm. It emitted a kind of sharpness, but it did not have much direct attack power. Instead, it had a strange fluctuation.
"I can start learning the array dao." Chu Mu thought to himself.
In theory, his array dao attainment had reached the level of a core disciple. After all, he had reached the eighteenth floor of the Phaseless Sky Shrouding Pagoda, and almost reached the nineteenth floor. However, that was referring to his ability to decipher the array dao and not the ability to set up the array dao.
Chu Mu had to start learning from the beginning. He had a deep foundation, a profound realm, and also a superb comprehension ability. In short, Chu Mu possessed all the abilities to quickly learn and grasp the array dao. Therefore, he learned very quickly. However, in order to better understand and grasp the array dao, Chu Mu deliberately slowed down to strengthen his foundation.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed.
The disciples of Formless Divine Palace seemed to be very low-key. Chu Mu had been staying in the cave residence to learn formations for a few months, while Xue Yinling was cultivating. The others did not come to visit. They were all like technical nerds. This was good for Chu Mu. His purpose in coming here was to perfect the profound formations and transform them into his own formations. He would combine them with the All Heavens Swords. When the time was right, he would leave this place and explore the chaotic universe again.
In a few months, Chu Mu had learned all the array dao he had obtained. However, he did not set up the array dao because setting up an array required the corresponding materials to set it up faster and better.
The most commonly used materials were naturally array flags.
The array disc was indeed a very good thing. However, the problem was that every time the array disc was used, it consumed a lot of energy. This consumption was fine once or twice, but it would be unbearable if it was used too many times. In addition, the array disc was often used up. Every time it was used, it would be used up until the array disc finally collapsed.
Therefore, the array disc was often used at a critical moment. Array flags were also necessary and could be considered as a commonly used item. The speed of setting up an array was slower than the array disc, but it could be used for a long time and the energy consumption would not be as high.
Of course, setting up an array out of thin air was also a method. It required at least a grandmaster of array dao to be able to do it. Moreover, the power of an array set up out of thin air was often inferior to the power of an array set up with array flags.
The array flags of the Sword Phase Palace were very special. They were called array swords. As the name implied, they were the swords used to set up the array.
Therefore, to set up the array of the Sword Phase Palace, one must first have an array sword. Chu Mu did not have one, but it would not be difficult for him.
"Array sword, I can use the All Heavens Swords as array swords," Chu Mu thought. However, he was thinking about the feasibility of it.
Array swords were different from ordinary swords. They were more special and their most direct use was to set up arrays.
"If I were to integrate the Sword Phase Scripture into the Truth Seeking Technique, allowing the Truth Seeking Technique to have the ability of the Sword Phase Scripture, I might be able to use the All Heavens Swords as array swords," Chu Mu thought as his eyes lit up.
Chu Mu did not have much confidence if he could do it. However, he could try and simulate it first.
Xue Yinling did not disturb Chu Mu. She could tell that Chu Mu was facing a difficult problem and was trying to solve it. She believed that Chu Mu would definitely be able to solve the problem. The only difference was the amount of time.
Under the simulation, Chu Mu faced another difficult problem. The source of the problem was that his accumulation in array dao was still not enough. Or rather, his understanding of array dao was still too little. However, this could also be solved.
He was a core disciple of the Sword Phase Hall. He could read up on array dao information for disciples below the level of core disciple. This was one of the benefits of being a core disciple of the Sword Phase Hall. To put it simply, the Phaseless Palace was the sect with the least rules among all the sects that Chu Mu knew.
Chu Mu plunged into countless array dao information. They were all theories, records passed down, experiences of predecessors and so on. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, Chu Mu would check it out. Once he checked it out, he would remember it deeply in his mind.
A few months later, Chu Mu flipped through all the books in the Sword Phase Hall and memorized all the contents. After returning to his cave residence, Chu Mu went into seclusion to organize the harvest of the past few months.
A large amount of formation path books had caused Chu Mu's understanding of formations to undergo an earth-shattering change in a short few months. This was because the accumulation of knowledge had led to a qualitative change through quantitative change.
As his mind worked at full speed, Chu Mu integrated all kinds of knowledge. After that, he integrated the essence of the Sword Phase Scripture into the Truth Seeking Technique. Then, he used his own Yuan Power to integrate into the All-heavens Swords, allowing the All-heavens Swords to possess the characteristics of array swords.
There were two ways to obtain array swords. The first was to exchange for them at the Sword Phase Hall with corresponding merits. The second was to refine them.
Chu Mu did not need to exchange nor did he need to refine them. Because his original goal was not to become an array dao cultivator. His goal was only to use array dao for himself, to surpass the limits of the All-heavens Swords' power. Naturally, he had to start with the All-heavens Swords.
Some changes had to be made to the All-heavens Swords. Without affecting the original foundation, the array dao that the Sword Phase Hall learned had to be changed accordingly, to become more suitable for himself. After deducing, Chu Mu knew that this was a difficult process. It was not as easy as he imagined. But since he had already stepped on this path, he had to continue walking down it.
"Set up the array!" With a low shout, the All-heavens Swords instantly condensed out of thin air. There were a total of five swords, respectively metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The five All-heavens Swords flew out, and then landed in five different directions, stabbing into the ground. Their power was activated, and a formation rapidly formed.
Five Elements Sword Qi Formation!
This was an ordinary formation in the Sword Phase Hall. It was one of the few formations that ordinary disciples could cultivate, and it was a relatively basic formation.
With Chu Mu's attainments in array dao, it was easy for him to set up an ordinary formation. After setting up the formation, Chu Mu activated the power of the formation. Instantly, gold, green, blue, red and brown sword Qi shot out from the five All-heavens Swords. They rapidly swam, and their auras were as sharp as five swords, shuttling back and forth within the formation. If someone was in the formation, they would be attacked by the five different colored sword Qi.
Following that, Chu Mu withdrew the Five Elements Sword Qi Formation and set up another formation.
Water and Fire Sword Qi Roaming Dragon Formation!
Triple Origin Sword Qi Formation!
Four Divisions Separate Origin Sword Qi Formation!
Ordinary formations were set up by Chu Mu without any difficulty. Furthermore, their power was unleashed to the extreme. These ordinary formations could only be considered as relatively basic formations.
Following that, Chu Mu began to set up more profound formations, which were formations that the elite disciples of the Phaseless Palace could learn and grasp.
Dual Origin Flood Dragon Sword Qi Formation!
Triple Origin Sword Qi Formation!
Four Divisions Birth and Destruction Sword Qi Formation!
Great Five Elements Sword Qi Formation!
The yellow grade formations that the elite disciples cultivated were obviously superior to ordinary formations in terms of power and profoundness. But to Chu Mu, it was still not difficult. It was very easy for him to set it up, and unleash its power to the extreme.
