Six Meridian Divine Sword?
A peerless divine skill of this caliber is not something to be missed!
Wang Xuan struck out with a backhand palm, his Energy Absorption Technique erupting instantly. An invisible force field enveloped the master-level player in the pit like a giant maw. Before the opponent could even let out a scream, their body withered and disintegrated, eventually turning into ash.
Immediately following this, he did not hesitate to use One-Click Max on the [Six Meridian Divine Sword], pushing it from entry-level to minor completion, major completion, and finally perfection, reaching its absolute limit in one go.
In an instant, a massive influx of martial arts insights surged like a tidal wave. The majestic Shaoshang, the agile Shangyang, the upright Zhongchong, the heavy Guanchong, the lightning-fast Shaochong, and the treacherous Shaoze—six types of sword intent became clear in his mind. On his interface, four traits rapidly emerged: [Mind-Controlled Qi], [Invisible Sword Qi], [Long-Range Instant Kill], and [Armor and Qi Shield Piercing].
Mind-Controlled Qi: Controlled by the mind, sword qi can be released and retracted at will, allowing for infinite rapid-fire.
Invisible Sword Qi: Difficult to see with the naked eye, making it impossible to guard against.
Long-Range Instant Kill: Capable of harming targets from over a hundred paces away, far exceeding conventional weapons.
Armor and Qi Shield Piercing: Ignores protective internal qi, hard-body techniques, armor, and protective qi shields.
Looking at the four traits on the panel, Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow, his thoughts racing.
The founder of this Six Meridian Divine Sword was Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali. Duan Siping lived during the chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. At that time, the late Tang Dynasty had collapsed, the world was fractured, emperors were replaced like a revolving door, military rebellions were commonplace, and the land was littered with corpses, with human life as cheap as grass.
He managed to carve a bloody path through such a hellish landscape to dominate the region and ascend to the throne. The Six Meridian Divine Sword he created was never intended for martial arts supremacy, but was a weapon specifically designed for the battlefield to counter armies.
One only needs to look at the two traits of Invisible Sword Qi and Armor and Qi Shield Piercing to know that this was clearly a sharp tool for reaping enemy soldiers on the battlefield!
It is a pity that this divine skill consumes internal qi like a bottomless ocean. The internal arts practiced by the Dali Duan Clan were mediocre and could not support such terrifying consumption, eventually relegating it to a divine skill fought over by martial artists.
While he was lost in thought, the seven master-level players holding longswords had already leaped forward. Their movements were like lightning; the moment they landed, their footsteps shifted, precisely stepping into the Black Tortoise Seven Star Position. The formation took shape instantly, and seven longswords pointed toward Wang Xuan in unison. The cold light was biting, and the sword qi crisscrossed, pressing directly toward his face.
Mind-Controlled Qi!
Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow and waved his hand.
Invisible Sword Qi poured out from his fingertips like a surging tide.
His internal qi was as vast as the sea, and when he unleashed the Six Meridian Divine Sword, it was several times more domineering than the master-level player from before. He showed no sign of conserving his energy; instead, it flowed like a rushing river, unleashed with reckless abandon.
The six types of invisible sword qi alternated in turn. The Shangyang Sword was light and agile, the Zhongchong Sword was majestic and broad, the Shaoze Sword was swift, and the Shaochong Sword was cunning. They faintly revealed the profound artistic conception of Yin and Yang intertwining and the Five Elements rotating, with power far surpassing that of the previous player.
The seven people opposite him were as silent as stones, their faces expressionless. Their longswords moved in unison, their bodies following the blades. Their sword techniques were as fast as lightning, leaving behind layers of afterimages. Frost-white sword light condensed at the tips of their blades. The seven of them coordinated with seamless tacit understanding, their sword lights weaving and entangling to instantly form an airtight sword net, sealing off all the invisible sword qi before them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A dense, rain-like series of crisp sounds erupted, causing the surrounding air to tremble. Sparks splashed wildly in front of the sword net, connecting into a dazzling curtain of light that made the sandy ground flicker between light and shadow.
The invisible sword qi of the Six Meridian Divine Sword collided with the sword net and was completely blocked, not a single strand leaking through. The aftermath of the dissipating sword qi whipped up the fine sand into the sky.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword had returned without success, but Wang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, showing no surprise. He opened his hand wide, and the force field of the Energy Absorption Technique erupted again. A violent suction swept across the area, attempting to disrupt the seven men's positioning.
He saw it clearly: these seven were using a combined sword formation where their power could be stacked and mutually reinforced. As long as he broke their formation, the movement of the array would inevitably be hindered. By seizing that momentary flaw, he could break the formation in one strike, and the remaining seven would be of no concern.
Though his idea was sound, the seven men faced the incoming violent suction with unwavering resolve. Even though their bodies swayed slightly and appeared unstable, their footwork remained treacherous, and they maintained their formation while maneuvering, not a single person deviating from their position.
Following this, the seven men's internal qi connected into one. A blurry yet heavy phantom of a Black Tortoise crashed down, suppressing the scene. The violent force field of the Energy Absorption Technique was completely ignored.
Not only that, but an aura as heavy as a mountain pressed back, tightly enveloping Wang Xuan. It pressed down so hard that the sand beneath his feet sank slightly, and his breathing became somewhat labored.
The seven men held their longswords, and the frost-white sword light on the blades suddenly surged. A faint phantom of a Black Snake coiled around them, its tongue flicking, the cold light intensifying. They thrust their swords forward in unison. In an instant, sword shadows fell like a torrential rain, so dense it was dizzying.
Wang Xuan felt his vision blur. His clothes were instantly shredded by the sword qi, and dense, countless sword lights landed on his skin. The sound of metal clashing rang out incessantly, and sparks flew everywhere.
Even though only seven people were attacking, it felt as if dozens were besieging him simultaneously. The sword light wove into layers of sword circles, slashing, parrying, wiping, and thrusting. The moves were fierce, trapping him in place like a storm.
The phantom of the Black Tortoise above his head remained motionless, continuously suppressing the area. Even though Wang Xuan possessed several peerless movement techniques, he found it difficult to use them now, unable to move an inch.
Fortunately, his Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill had already reached its limit. His body was as hard as divine iron; no matter how fierce the opponent's sword moves were or how dense the sword light, everything that landed on him was shattered, not even leaving a white mark.
Although Wang Xuan had not fully grasped the details of this sword formation, he was certainly not one to sit and wait for death.
He knew that with the seven men's internal qi connected, the power of the formation was indeed great, but the consumption of internal qi was also astonishing. Furthermore, they had to divert a portion of their energy to counter the force field of the Energy Absorption Technique.
He calmed his mind, dispelling all distracting thoughts. The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth mental cultivation method operated at high speed. The fierce sword light attacking him from all sides was gently deflected and diverted by an extremely flexible force, like water flowing around a stone, without causing him the slightest harm.
At the same time, his eyes were like torches, carefully observing the movement trajectory of the formation, the nodes of internal qi circulation, and the footwork transitions of the seven men.
He possessed several divine skills, all of which had reached their limits, and his understanding of martial arts had already reached the pinnacle. Coupled with the "Mind-Absorbing Origin Return" trait brought by the Arhat Demon-Subduing Divine Skill, his mind was clear, all distractions were gone, his thoughts were lively and agile, and his wisdom was greatly opened.
With the added "Learn at a glance, master upon learning" trait inherent to the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, it took only a moment for him to understand the operating laws of this sword formation clearly.
On the interface, a new formation martial art was rapidly taking shape. In an instant, a line of text appeared clearly: [True Martial Seven-Section Formation (Not yet entered)].
Wang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized.
So it was this formation!
The True Martial Seven-Section Formation was the supreme formation created by Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
Back then, on Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng would observe the statues of the Turtle and Snake generals before the True Martial Great Emperor all day long. He saw that the turtle's nature was steady and heavy, hiding the Great Dao of "Stillness," while the snake's nature was agile and winding, containing the mystery of "Movement."
One still and one moving, one hard and one soft, perfectly matching the Taoist principle of "Yin and Yang complementing each other, movement and stillness generating each other."
This formation took seven people as the core, with each person practicing one section of the technique, hence the name "True Martial Seven-Section Formation," secretly matching the number of the seven mansions of the Black Tortoise.
When seven people performed this formation together, its power was comparable to sixty-four experts of the same level attacking simultaneously. Its dominance was unprecedented. However, since its creation, it had never been possible to gather seven experts with compatible techniques to perform it simultaneously, so it remained obscure and little known.
Wang Xuan couldn't help but sigh to himself. As expected of Zhang Sanfeng! Throughout the numerous martial arts story worlds, experts were as numerous as crucian carp, but when it came to talent and comprehension, few could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Sanfeng.
