Chapter 9

Wang Chong was also someone who had once connected the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians. He had originally thought that even if the quality of the true qi of the two sects differed greatly, and all the original demonic true qi was converted into Primordial Yang true qi, he could at least connect one or two meridians.

However, he did not expect that after converting all his demonic true qi, he could only manage to connect most of the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, still lacking a few acupoints to fully open it.

From this, Wang Chong realized that the quality of Primordial Yang true qi was far superior to the evil sect's cultivation method he had practiced before. The difference between a seventh-grade supreme true qi and a miscellaneous-grade true qi was like heaven and earth.

During these few days of diligently practicing the Primordial Yang Sword Technique, the green jade sword box often emitted light sounds, and he had to wrap it in a quilt to prevent the sword sounds from being heard.

The Primordial Yang Sword had long been imbued with spirit and form, so when the demon Ge Peng sneaked into Emei and defiled the sealing spell, the sword immediately shattered the box and flew away.

Now that the Primordial Yang Sword had been taken out and the seal removed, only the sword box remained as a barrier. It was uncertain when the Primordial Yang Sword would break through the box and fly away.

Wang Chong was also anxious. Of course, he wanted to keep the Primordial Yang Sword, but converting all the demonic true qi had only managed to connect most of the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. Without the convenience of converting old powers, even if Wang Chong worked ten times harder, he could not expect a sudden increase in power to cultivate the Primordial Yang Sword Technique and refine the immortal flying sword.

One day, after Xie Lingxun delivered dinner, Wang Chong practiced after the meal. His mind was still unsettled, so he searched under the bed for the sword box and held it in his hands, pondering how to resolve the crisis.

While he was deeply thinking, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. The Heavenly Performance Pearl suddenly jumped, and a cool breath rushed into his brow. In the void, several lines of text appeared, narrating the origin of the Primordial Yang Sword Box!

Initially, when the Primordial Yang Sword was first forged, Yin Dingxiu calculated that his ascension was imminent. He did not have time to pass it on to his disciples or to find suitable materials to refine a sword box for the Primordial Yang Sword. So, he casually took a piece of green yang jade, polished it, and sealed the treasure with the Primordial Yang Sword Technique, leaving it for a future worthy.

Therefore, the Primordial Yang Sword Box retained a trace of Yin Dingxiu's true qi and magical power. If the sword technique was used to guide it, this true qi and magical power could be integrated into one's own body, and through this, one could sense the aura of the Primordial Yang Sword.

Even at the end, the Heavenly Performance Pearl attached a brief technique of just a few dozen words, guiding how to use the Primordial Yang Sword Technique to guide the true qi and magical power in the sword box!

After reading the origin of the Primordial Yang Sword Box, Wang Chong was overjoyed. He did not wait for a favorable day and immediately practiced the Primordial Yang Sword Technique, guiding a thread of Primordial Yang true qi into the sword box.

Wang Chong had only connected half a meridian, so his power was shallow. After about half an incense stick's time, his true qi was exhausted. He had to sit in meditation to recover some true qi before continuing to refine the Primordial Yang Sword Box.

Wang Chong refined the sword box all night. When the sky began to brighten, a true qi emerged from the jade box, identical in nature to the Primordial Yang true qi, and it collided with Wang Chong's Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian.

This true qi entered from the tip of the little finger at the Shaohai point, ran along the outer side of the palm through the Qian Gu, Hou Xi, Wan Gu, and Yang Lao points, and emerged at the ulnar styloid process. It then followed the edge of the ulna, passed through the Zhi Zheng point to the elbow at the Shao Hai point, ran along the outer posterior edge of the upper arm to the shoulder joint at the Jian Zhen and Nao Yu points, curved upward to the shoulder blade through the Tian Zong, Bing Feng, Qu Yuan, Jian Wai Yu, and Jian Zhong Yu points, and converged at the Da Zhu point. It then entered the supraclavicular fossa, descended to connect with the heart, passed through the esophagus through the diaphragm to the stomach, and belonged to the small intestine. A branch extended from the neck to the cheek, to the outer canthus of the eye, and then to the Ting Gong point! It managed to connect all the acupoints of the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian in one go.

With this meridian connected, the Primordial Yang true qi immediately transformed. Wang Chong felt warm and comfortable, as if basking in a gentle spring breeze, a sign of the initial birth of yang. From this point, the Primordial Yang true qi had truly entered the realm.

Wang Chong had expected it to take at least three days to see results, but he was surprised to see such a reaction after just one night of refinement. Before he could rejoice, he heard a fierce fire-like energy emanating from the sword box. He quickly guided the Primordial Yang true qi in the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian into the sword box.

He did not expect that as soon as his true qi entered, the sword technique and patterns on the Primordial Yang Sword Box disappeared, and twelve talismans gradually lit up.

Each talisman contained a sword intent, and each sword intent corresponded to a move in the Primordial Yang Sword Technique. The twelve talismans, each with a different sword intent, corresponded to the twelve moves of the Primordial Yang Sword Technique.

These twelve talismans, sensing Wang Chong's aura, detached from the sword box and landed on him, blending seamlessly with his true qi.

Without these twelve talismans, the green jade sword box suddenly exploded into powder, and a crimson light flew out, like a red-scaled dragon freed from its confines, radiating with fire, circling around Wang Chong several times. The sword light was lively and radiant, making the young man's eyebrows and clothes glow red.

The Primordial Yang Sword Box, casually refined by Yin Dingxiu, was also a magical treasure, containing twelve Primordial Yang talismans. If someone could collect these twelve talismans, even a beginner Emei disciple could control the Primordial Yang Sword in battle.

Moreover, these twelve talismans contained the sword intent of the old ancestor Yin Dingxiu, allowing disciples to understand sword techniques. Their value was equivalent to half of the Primordial Yang Sword.

According to the original timeline, the Primordial Yang Sword, imbued with spirit, would soon shatter the sword box and fly to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Yin Dingxiu's letter stated that he had passed the sword to one of his four major disciples, Xu Jingyang.

However, the Emei Sect not only lost the Primordial Yang Sword Technique and sword method but also failed to obtain the twelve Primordial Yang talismans left by the old ancestor Yin Dingxiu. Xu Jingyang could not subdue the Primordial Yang Sword and had to invite friends to help, leading to the story of the Seven Children Battling the Primordial Yang Sword, which eventually allowed him to recapture the sword.

The Primordial Yang Sword, imbued with spirit and with a rebellious nature, did not submit even after being captured by Xu Jingyang.

Xu Jingyang then arranged a sword duel, urgently needing to use the sword. He sought the help of the Western Sea Sword Immortal Li Binhua to obtain the One Yuan Heavy Water, which eliminated the spirit of the Primordial Yang Sword, allowing him to refine the immortal flying sword.

With its spirit eliminated, the quality of the Primordial Yang Sword fell a level. Although it remained one of the most powerful flying swords of the Emei Sect, it never ranked in the top ten, being overshadowed by the Southern Chi and Northern Li twin swords, the Five Fire Seven Bird Sword brought by the Immortal Xuan Ji from another sect, and the seven invisible immortal swords refined by Yin Dingxiu.

The Heavenly Performance Pearl described all these stories, and Wang Chong did not know if they were true.

However, according to this description, the Primordial Yang Sword was indeed pitiful. Despite being a supreme sword, its spirit was eliminated, causing it to fall a level.

Wang Chong was not a novice in the Daoist path. At the Heavenly Heart Temple, he was a true disciple qualified to read the Heavenly Heart Temple's sword techniques. The twelve talismans, once integrated into his meridians and stored in his dantian, immediately revealed their usage. He pressed one talisman, shouted clearly, and the Primordial Yang Sword shot into his sleeve, disappearing without a trace.
