"The original intent is that initial scenery, which has nothing to do with sword moves, sword techniques, or sword arts. Not only does it have nothing to do with them, but one must also forget them; only then can one return to simplicity and find the source."
"This profound and abstruse Sword Formula is quite exhausting to explain. Actually, practicing it is not that difficult—isn't it just generating scenery in your heart and then bringing that scenery into the sword? To put it bluntly, it is painting with a sword in hand. When there is a painting in your heart, a single sword strike produces a piece of scenery. Of course, this requires cultivation, support from your strength, and relentless tempering."
"I, Zhou Chuan, haven't learned many sword arts or sword formulas. When practicing, I happen to lack entanglements like sword moves, sword techniques, and sword arts, so I can just concentrate on painting."
