59: Chapter 59 The Special Effects of the Six Meridian Divine Sword

A flash of surprise crossed Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.

He could feel that although this invisible Sword Qi appeared slender, it contained terrifying penetrating power.

More importantly, the method of circulating Internal Energy for the Six Meridian Divine Sword was extremely unique; it involved channeling Internal Energy directly from the internal organs, transforming it into Sword Qi through the Meridians of the fingers.

This circulation method could greatly develop the potential of the internal organs.

"What a fierce Six Meridian Divine Sword!" Zhang Sanfeng praised sincerely.

"Transforming Internal Energy into invisible Sword Qi to strike enemies from a distance is truly impossible to guard against."

"You flatter me, Daoist," Master Yideng sighed.

"It is a pity that this old monk can only utilize one meridian. The Six Meridian Divine Sword requires extremely profound Internal Energy as support, and one must also open the circulation of all six Meridians; none can be missing."

"My Internal Energy is not sufficiently harmonious, and I have long been unable to open the other five Meridians."

Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Great Master, could you allow this humble Daoist to see the manual of the Six Meridian Divine Sword?"

"Perhaps this humble Daoist can be of some help."

"This humble Daoist can also share the Nine Yang Divine Skill created by the Wine-Fighting Monk with you in exchange."

Master Yideng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Very well. Although the Six Meridian Divine Sword is the ultimate art of my Duan clan, apart from the chance Opportunity our ancestor Duan Yu had to comprehend it, no other member of the Duan clan has ever been able to learn it."

"If it can be carried forward in your hands, Daoist, that would be a good thing."

He turned and walked into the meditation room, took out a yellowed booklet, and handed it to Zhang Sanfeng.

Zhang Sanfeng took the booklet and began to read it carefully.

The booklet recorded the cultivation methods and diagrams of the Six Meridian Divine Sword, complete with illustrations and very detailed.

The more Zhang Sanfeng read, the more astonished he became.

The principle of the Six Meridian Divine Sword lies in corresponding the internal organs of the human body with the six Meridians.

The heart corresponds to the Shaochong Sword, the liver to the Zhongchong Sword, the spleen to the Shangyang Sword, the lungs to the Guanchong Sword, the kidneys to the Shaoze Sword, and the Sanjiao to the Shaoshang Sword.

By cultivating different Meridians, one mobilizes the Internal Energy of different internal organs, transforming it into Sword Qi of various attributes.

"So that is how it is." Zhang Sanfeng realized with a sudden clarity.

"The key to the Six Meridian Divine Sword lies in developing the potential of the internal organs."

"The reason Great Master cannot utilize the other five Meridians is not due to insufficient Internal Energy, but because you have not found the correct method to develop your internal organs."

"Oh? What high insights do you have, Daoist?" Master Yideng asked quickly.

"The Six Meridian Divine Sword uses Internal Energy as its foundation and the internal organs as its source."

Zhang Sanfeng said slowly, "Although your Internal Energy is profound, Great Master, it is not sufficiently harmonious and unimpeded; it has not merged with your internal organs."

"If you can allow your Internal Energy to circulate between your internal organs, nourishing them and developing their potential, you will naturally be able to open the other five Meridians."

Saying this, he pulled a wooden sword from his robe and began to dance it slowly.

"This is the Wudang Taiji Sword," Zhang Sanfeng said calmly.

"Taiji Sword emphasizes that 'the sword is the heart, and the heart is the sword'; use intent to control the sword, and use the sword to guide Qi."

"Through the movement of the sword technique, guide the Internal Energy to circulate within the body, nourishing the Meridians and internal organs throughout."

Zhang Sanfeng's sword technique was very slow, but it carried a sense of harmonious and unimpeded Dao Rhyme.

The wooden sword in his hand seemed to have a life of its own, sometimes as gentle as flowing water, sometimes as fierce as thunder.

As the sword technique moved, the Pure Yang Dao Rhyme within his body flowed slowly, nourishing his internal organs.

Master Yideng watched without blinking, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes.

He could clearly feel Zhang Sanfeng's Internal Energy circulating between the internal organs, ceaseless and endless.

This method of circulation was exactly what he had been desperately searching for.

"So that is it! So that is it!"

Master Yideng said excitedly, "Many thanks for your guidance, Daoist! This old monk understands!"

He immediately sat cross-legged and, following the method demonstrated by Zhang Sanfeng, guided his Internal Energy to circulate between his internal organs.

As the Internal Energy flowed, his internal organs were nourished, and their potential was developed bit by bit.

The aura on his body grew stronger and stronger, and his originally somewhat murky eyes became increasingly clear.

Half an hour later, Master Yideng slowly opened his eyes.

Two flashes of sharp light flickered in his eyes, then vanished.

He stood up and stretched his limbs, which made a crackling sound.

"Many thanks, Daoist!" Master Yideng bowed deeply to Zhang Sanfeng.

"If not for your guidance, Daoist, this old monk might never have been able to fully master the Six Meridian Divine Sword in this lifetime."

"You are too polite, Great Master," Zhang Sanfeng quickly helped him up.

"This is because of your own high Comprehension Ability, Great Master; this humble Daoist only contributed a meager effort."

Master Yideng smiled slightly, raised both hands at the same time, and flicked his ten fingers in turn.

Six invisible Sword Qi beams of different colors shot out, striking six different stones respectively.

Each stone was neatly cut in half, the cut surfaces smooth as a mirror.

"Congratulations, Great Master, on finally mastering the Six Meridian Divine Sword!" Zhang Sanfeng congratulated him with a cupped-hand salute.

"This is all thanks to your merit, Daoist," Master Yideng laughed.

"To thank you, Daoist, this old monk will give you a martial art—the Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill."

Saying this, he sat cross-legged and formed a hand seal.

Half of his face became withered like tree bark, without a trace of life, while the other half became rosy like an infant, full of vitality.

A peculiar aura emanated from his body; half was deathly stillness, half was Life Qi, the cycle of life and death contained entirely within it.

"The Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill is the treasure of my Tianlong Temple."

Master Yideng said slowly, "It emphasizes 'neither withered nor prosperous, both withered and prosperous,' to penetrate the Dao of the cycle of life and death."

A flash of admiration crossed Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.

The Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill had already touched upon the Origin of life and death; it was an extremely profound martial art.

He could feel that Master Yideng's Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill had reached Major Achievement, only one step away from reaching the Realm of "Withered-Prosperous Unity."

"What a Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill!" Zhang Sanfeng praised.

"This humble Daoist will show his clumsiness and demonstrate the Nine Yang Divine Skill created by the Wine-Fighting Monk for you, Great Master."

He also sat cross-legged and activated the Pure Yang Infinite Skill.

A golden Pure Yang Dao Rhyme surged from within his body, forming a huge golden light shield.

Inside the light shield, Yang Qi rose, ceaseless and endless, as if a small sun were burning within his body.

"The Nine Yang Divine Skill emphasizes: 'Let them be strong as they may, the breeze blows over the hills; let them be fierce as they may, the moon shines over the great river.'"

Zhang Sanfeng said slowly, "The Internal Energy is ceaseless and endless, circulating back and forth, without end."

The golden Pure Yang Dao Rhyme collided with the life and death aura of the Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill, yet no conflict occurred.

Instead, they merged and nourished each other.

Master Yideng only felt a warm Pure Yang force surge into his body, nourishing his withered half of the body.

His heart stirred, and he quickly activated the Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill to absorb this Pure Yang force.

As the Pure Yang force was absorbed, his withered half of the face gradually became rosy.

Eventually, both sides of his face became rosy like an infant, full of vitality.

The Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill finally broke through to the highest Realm of "Withered-Prosperous Unity"!

"Many thanks, Daoist!" Master Yideng bowed deeply to Zhang Sanfeng again.

"Daoist, you not only helped this old monk master the Six Meridian Divine Sword but also helped me break through to the highest Realm of the Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill. This great kindness is something this old monk will never forget."

"Great Master, there is no need for this," Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly. "This humble Daoist has also benefited greatly from your martial arts."

Zhang Sanfeng realized the Shaoyang Life Force from the One Yang Finger, perfecting the life rune of the Physical Body inscription.

From the Six Meridian Divine Sword, he learned the method to develop the potential of the internal organs, solving the energy supply problem for the Physical Body inscription.

From the Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill, he penetrated the Dao of the cycle of life and death, deepening his understanding of the martial Dao by another layer.

His martial arts foundation was several times deeper than before.

[System Prompt: Successfully discussed the Dao with Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing, obtained the Legacy of the One Yang Finger, Six Meridian Divine Sword, and Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill!]

[Martial Arts Foundation + 50%, understanding of the Dao of "Life Force, Internal Organ Development, and Cycle of Life and Death" significantly deepened!]

[Preconditions for Physical Body inscription cultivation completed!]

[Legend of the Condor Heroes World Origin recognition increased to 65%!]

The two stayed in the meditation courtyard for another three days, exchanging martial arts insights every day, both feeling they benefited greatly.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Sanfeng said goodbye to Master Yideng.

"Great Master, this humble Daoist has important matters to attend to, so I must take my leave."

Zhang Sanfeng saluted with cupped hands, "If we are fated in the future, I will certainly come to visit you again, Great Master."

"Take care on your journey, Daoist." Master Yideng nodded, took a booklet from his robe, and handed it to Zhang Sanfeng.

"These are some of this old monk's cultivation insights regarding the Six Meridian Divine Sword and the Withered-Prosperous Zen Skill; please accept them, Daoist. I hope they can be of some help to you."

"Many thanks, Great Master." Zhang Sanfeng took the booklet and put it away solemnly.

"By the way, Daoist, you must be careful when going to Tianshan," Master Yideng said suddenly.

"The Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan was the headquarters of the Xiaoyao Sect back in the day."

"Ever since Sect Head Xuzhu went into seclusion, the Lingjiu Palace has become extremely mysterious. It is said that there are numerous traps inside, as well as many formidable guards."

"Many thanks for the reminder, Great Master; this humble Daoist will be careful." Zhang Sanfeng nodded.

After bidding farewell to Master Yideng, Zhang Sanfeng embarked on the journey to Tianshan.

He stood on the peak of Cangshan, gazing at the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance, a flash of anticipation in his eyes.

Piaomiao Peak on Tianshan, the headquarters of the Xiaoyao Sect.

There, the complete Legacy of the Xiaoyao Sect was hidden, and the key to unlocking the final mystery of the Physical Body inscription was also hidden there.
