Chapter 710: Chapter 709: Devouring Technique and the Shadowless Sword

Yusuf Zuck and the great demons finally witnessed what divine skills were, and what a true master was.

With a sweep of his wide sleeves, the taoist cultivator in the green robe rolled up more than a hundred Nascent Souls, even those beyond the realm of Nascent Soul, directly into his sleeve—just like a scene from a movie, so shocking it could drop jaws.

It was also the first time in Yusuf Zuck’s life that he saw such inconceivable divine skills.

"Yusuf, Yusuf, the little blind kid is missing." Just as Yusuf Zuck and the great demons were at a loss for words, Ember Vance and Ruth Wilcox came running out in a hurry, claiming that the little blind kid was missing?

"The little blind kid is missing?" Yusuf Zuck was stunned, and his telekinesis instantly covered everything on Chicken Mountain.

But truly, there was no trace of the little blind kid.

Yusuf Zuck started to feel a bad premonition—the little blind kid had been taken away by the taoist cultivator in the green robe!

"Damn, his target was not me, but the little blind kid!" Yusuf cursed loudly. He had been deceived by that man, who claimed he wanted to take him as a disciple, but in the end, he took the little blind kid away.

The little blind kid could not possibly be lost; the mountain was within the grasp of his telekinesis, so if the kid was missing, it could only mean that the man secretly hid the child and then took him away.

"Eh, no, something’s not right." As Yusuf scanned back and forth with his telekinesis, he finally noticed something amiss and dashed toward the back house like the wind.

The taoist cultivator in the green robe had previously been slightly inebriated and said he needed to rest, so he had entered a well-arranged guest room, which was very quiet and where Ember Vance and Ruth Wilcox personally escorted him to.

And just now, within the sweep of Yusuf’s telekinesis, he saw something in the room where the taoist cultivator stayed—something he had left behind.

"Whoosh–" Yusuf rushed in and then saw a letter and two yellowed books!

Yusuf immediately tore open the letter and started to read.

"Sorry, I have taken the little blind kid. Your sixteen great demons are useless. Only this little blind kid is a treasure, a descendant of the Sky Devouring Mouse, whose eyes are not blind, but simply not yet ready to be opened. As for you... that you could form nine Golden Cores is indeed surprising to me. I’ve traveled the outside world for many years and have never come across such a case. Thus, taking you as a disciple, I really didn’t know how to teach you. But your future will probably be full of hardships, take care. These two books are compensation for taking the little blind kid; they contain two sets of supreme secret techniques that should be suitable for you. I acquired these secret techniques from a strange place, and I myself have never cultivated them. You can cultivate and comprehend them on your own. That’s all for now; we may meet again one day, goodbye!"

This was the letter left by him, with a brief content just telling Yusuf that he had taken the little blind kid and left him two books as compensation.

"Damn it, that’s not honorable, outright robbery!" Yusuf cursed angrily. To take the little blind kid away without saying a word, that man really had no good intentions.

However, it might be a good thing for the little blind kid to follow him, as at least he would not suffer in the future.

"Master, what happened?" At that moment, the great demons, Ruth Wilcox, Ember Vance, and others also rushed in, looking at him anxiously.

"It’s alright. He has taken the little blind kid as his disciple, which is a good thing. You all disperse for now, I want to see what books he has left me." Yusuf sat down. He was indeed eager to learn some spells and swordsmanship, as he didn’t know any.

After Ruth and the others had closed the door again, Yusuf picked up the yellowed ancient book on top and opened it; on the title page were written three words: ’Devouring Technique’.

He read with great interest, "The Swallowing Technique, as its name suggests, involves cultivating oneself by swallowing and absorbing. During a cultivator’s training, aside from certain spiritual items and elixirs that can be directly swallowed for cultivation, other materials cannot directly extract spiritual power or energy."

"The Swallowing Technique breaks this notion and enables the swallowing of all consumable objects, strengthening oneself and being quickly digested by one’s body."

However, this technique is too domineering; righteous cultivators regard it as sorcery and a demon cultivator’s practice. Of course, ordinary cultivators are also unable to cultivate it, for one would be unable to digest it; secondly, it requires a very powerful soul to support it, and without strong telekinesis, one also cannot cultivate this technique; thirdly, swallowing too much could cause one to explode.

This technique is not yet perfected; the practitioner who conceived it only had a stroke of inspiration, pondering this possibility and is still in the process of comprehending it. If a person of destiny acquires this tome of the Swallowing Technique in the future, they may study it first, but they must not be reckless, take heed.

This is the first excerpt from the Swallowing Technique, and what follows are the specific concepts and mantra of the Swallowing Technique.

The person who researched the Swallowing Technique divided it into four steps: first, swallow treasures; second, swallow spiritual objects; third, swallow stars; fourth, swallow all things.

Even his mantra for the Swallowing Technique has only been developed up to the stage of swallowing spiritual objects and even that step had not been finalized, incomplete.

"Bloody hell, he’s a lunatic who suddenly came up with a crazy idea, then experimented on himself, and when he got halfway through, he probably exploded from the inside, right?" Yusuf Zuck cussed after spending an entire day reading the script through—it was a good concept, but also impossible to achieve.

This person had spent his life researching but had only reached the second step!

However, the first two steps of the Swallowing Technique were truly useful to him, because directly extracting the energy of treasures or spiritual objects to strengthen himself was exactly what he needed; isn’t he in need of endless energy to replenish himself right now?

It seems that the cultivator in the blue robe had hit the nail on the head by giving him this Swallowing Technique, knowing it to be the right fit for someone with a Nascent Soul like him. After all, if he wanted all nine Nascent Souls to grow and turn into Golden Cores, he would also need endless energy.

"Hmm, what’s this?" Yusuf Zuck let the content of the Swallowing Technique pass through his mind, memorized it, and then picked up the yellowed ancient book underneath.

On the cover of this ancient text were four big characters that looked a bit like pictograms, but Yusuf Zuck still recognized these four characters, called: the Shadowless Sword Technique.

Yusuf Zuck’s eyes lit up; it was actually a sword technique, and that was exactly what he needed now. After all, possessing an Immortal Sword but only knowing how to chop randomly meant wasting its potential. If he had exquisite sword moves, supreme swordsmanship, then the power of the Immortal Sword could be brought out even stronger.

The first few pages of this book were an introduction to the author himself, telling a short story. It roughly described how this sword technique was created by someone known as the Shadowless Swordsman, who, in his early years, was an assassin. After pursuing the path of cultivation, he developed a total of thirty-six sword moves throughout his life, each move capable of maximizing one’s physical strength and own power.

It also stated that he claimed with this swordsmanship, he had roamed the Cultivation World undefeated for over eight hundred years, alone in his quest for defeat but never finding it.

"Bragging, right? No matter how advanced your sword technique, without a high Cultivation Realm, it’s useless," Yusuf Zuck curled his lips. This Shadowless Swordsman must also have been an exceptionally powerful cultivator; otherwise, no matter how sophisticated the sword technique, it would merely be for show without proper cultivation.

After introducing himself, the remaining seventy-odd pages were illustrated like a comic book with sword moves, and this person’s drawing skills were quite good, lifelike and vivid.

When Yusuf Zuck turned to the last page, he saw a single line:

When the sword you slash has no sound or shadow, then your enemies can only be lambs to the slaughter at your whim.
