Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 86 The Mystery of Sword Qi (Part 2)

Could it be that the hair-like structures formed by minerals within these crystal swords can actually function like meridians for conduction?
Even during the transmission process, can it further consolidate internal strength to achieve the effect of focused growth?
Jiang Mingzhe pondered deeply, which inevitably reminded him of the connection between One Finger Divine Skill and Six Meridian Divine Sword.

One-Finger Divine Skill can also be used to strike points in mid-air, but the force it generates can only be used to press or release acupoints, and it is obviously not as sharp as sword energy.

The Six Meridians Divine Sword is named after a sword for probably two reasons.

Firstly, by using a more complex method of internal force operation, the finger force is focused to form a more penetrating and sharp "sword energy"!
Secondly, each sword energy has its own unique moves, some clever and flexible, others powerful and vigorous, with each of the six sword techniques having its own strengths.

According to this description, the sword energy also has a continuous effect, as if an invisible sword extends from the fingertips; otherwise, it would be impossible to perform actions such as cutting, slashing, slicing, and flicking in swordsmanship...

Jiang Mingzhe nodded, a vague understanding forming in his mind: If the Duan family's Six Meridians Divine Sword requires active visualization and circulation of internal energy, driving it along a specific path to condense and compress "qi" in the process, then this Seven Child Sword, with its internal mineral hairline naturally forming a fixed path, only requires the user to circulate internal energy to enter, which will naturally form compression and emit sword qi.

One is a chef, the other is a pre-made meal!
Jiang Mingzhe tentatively channeled his inner energy into the white crystal sword, and saw the blade glow slightly—

To be precise, it was the silvery veins in the sword's blade that shone brightly, and then a beam of white light shot out from the tip of the sword, striking the wall directly with a soft thud, sending dust flying and leaving a small hole about the thickness of a chopstick in the wall.

Azi and Zhongling cheered and ran over to take a closer look. Azi reached out and plucked a strand of Zhongling's hair, folded it up, and peered into the cave. She let out another low exclamation and turned back to call out, "Big Ginger, amazing! It's this deep!"

She pinched her thumb and forefinger together, about half an inch apart.

Zhong Ling jumped up and said, "You naughty little Zi girl, don't you have any hair yourself?"

Ignoring their chattering and arguing, Jiang Mingzhe thought for a moment and then channeled his inner energy into the white sword again. This time, however, it wasn't a single burst of internal force, but a continuous infusion. The silver veins lit up again, and white light surged from the tip of the sword, but instead of shooting out, it gradually grew, extending to about a foot in length.

In this way, the original two-foot sword suddenly transformed into a three-foot long sword, except that the front foot was entirely formed of light.

Jiang Mingzhe thought to himself, "In the original novel of Tianlong, there is a certain person who knows a skill called 'Sword Aura.' According to the description in the book, it is a half-foot-long, flickering blue light that emerges from the tip of a sword, like a long snake that stretches and contracts unpredictably. It is somewhat similar to this white sword light, except that the white sword light seems quite stable, almost like a tangible substance."

Seeing this amazing sight, Azi forgot her argument with Zhongling and rushed back to examine it closely. She exclaimed, "How beautiful! How amazing! Big Ginger, you made this lightsaber even longer. Wouldn't it kill the enemy with a single strike from afar?"

A forty-meter-long broadsword?

Jiang Mingzhe's heart stirred, and he intensified his internal energy. Sure enough, the sword light grew by about three inches. However, Jiang Mingzhe had already used all his power, so it was difficult for him to grow it any longer.

Jiang Mingzhe had a better understanding of the situation. It seemed that the length of the sword light was related to the depth of one's internal strength. With his current internal strength, he was at about one foot and three inches.

Then I heard Azi say, "Hold on tight, I'll test how fast it is!"

With swift movement, he pulled out Zhong Ling's hairpin and lightly tapped it against the sword light. With a soft hiss, the silver hairpin broke in two.

Zhong Ling was stunned with anger. She reached out to snatch A Zi's hairpin, but A Zi giggled and nimbly dodged it. Jiang Mingzhe maintained his strength for a while longer, about half an incense stick's time, before feeling his inner energy about to be exhausted and unable to maintain his balance. He quickly shouted, "You two get out of the way! I'm about to shoot!"

The two girls who were chasing and playing were startled and retreated in unison. Jiang Mingzhe's internal energy was interrupted, and a 1.3-inch white light shot out from the tip of his sword, which went straight through the wall and disappeared into the unknown.

Jiang Mingzhe was startled. It turned out that the longer the white light accumulated, the stronger its power and the farther it could shoot!
Fearing someone might be hurt, he quickly opened the door to look, only to see a loquat tree, as thick as a bowl, with its upper half slowly sliding down with a loud bang.

Duan Yu and his companions naturally followed closely behind. Upon seeing such power, Duan Yu exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother, this sword is probably a celestial sword. You must take good care of it. If it falls into the hands of bad people, it will be terrible. A single strike like this can kill even someone wearing iron armor!"

Jiang Mingzhe shook his head and said in a low voice, "Brother, I have already noticed that this sword can only be driven by the most peaceful and balanced Yin-Yang internal force if it is to unleash its sword energy."

Duan Yu immediately understood and whispered, "Northern Darkness True Qi?"

Jiang Mingzhe nodded slightly, but in his heart he thought: Besides the Northern Darkness True Qi, the internal energy of the Lesser Formless Skill should also work. Hmm, among the three great skills of the Free and Unfettered Sect, I wonder if the Child Granny's Longevity Skill will work.

He then thought: This white sword light is extremely yang and strong. According to Duan Yu's analysis, this white crystal sword is yang in nature. Following this logic, could the sword lights emitted by the other six swords be of different natures? Hmm, the Northern Darkness Divine Art can change the attribute of internal energy at will, and the Lesser Formless Art seems to have this characteristic as well. Could it be…

The inspiration for Xiaoyaozi's creation of these two divine skills came from these seven crystal swords.
If so, the Longevity and Everlasting Spring Skill was obtained by Xiaoyaozi from the Everlasting Spring Valley, and it is most likely incompatible with the Seven Child Swords.

He couldn't ask Xiaoyaozi this question, but he felt it was probably correct, since with the current level of technology, it was absolutely impossible to create such an "energy aggregation converter".

It's more likely that nature, with its wondrous craftsmanship and countless wonders, produced a naturally formed treasure that Xiaoyaozi happened to acquire.

If there are other possibilities...

Jiang Mingzhe couldn't help but smile, thinking that it could only be a magical artifact crafted by immortals. Perhaps there was a cultivation civilization in this world before, who knows?

He wanted to try the other six swords, but his inner strength was exhausted. When he asked Duan Yu to try them, Duan Yu shook his head repeatedly and said emphatically, "Brother, I think this sword is definitely a celestial sword. Since the celestial sword has recognized you as its master, if I use it again, I'm afraid its aura will become impure. Wouldn't it be a pity if the celestial sword lost its spiritual energy?"

Upon hearing this, Azi was startled: "Oh dear, it's fortunate that the brat can't unleash her sword energy, otherwise, if she had ruined it, I would have killed her."

Zhong Ling said angrily, "Brother Jiang, look at her, she only cares about bullying me. She took it for a long time, but she didn't say anything."

Ah Zi said smugly, "The Bai and Qing demons are inseparable, even my junior brother is mine, let alone my junior brother's sword? The immortal sword has a spirit, so it naturally knows this, so if I take it, the immortal sword certainly won't be angry. You are different, you are stinky..."

Zhong Ling yelled and tried to pull A Zi's mouth, and the two girls started fighting again. Jiang Mingzhe and Duan Yu exchanged a glance and sighed in unison. These two girls were teenagers, and they were alright in front of outsiders, but when no one was around, their antics were simply unbearable to watch.

Hearing the noise, the Wuliang Swordsmen came to investigate, but Jiang Mingzhe dismissed them with a few words and returned to his room to sit cross-legged and practice his skills. He planned to continue exploring the effects of the remaining six swords after recovering his strength.
