Chapter 1049: Thunder Form of the Seven Ultimate Sword

After listening to Huangfu Yongchun’s introduction, Wang Chen fell into deep contemplation.

The purpose of the Seven Ultimate Meeting sounded quite noble. Huangfu Yongchun, along with the five Golden Core members who had already joined, were all loose cultivators without any backing or influence. It was natural for them to band together for better survival.

However, Wang Chen had grown accustomed to his solitary lifestyle. The idea of suddenly joining a small group felt somewhat unsettling.

“Fellow traveler Wang, you need not worry,” Huangfu Yongchun said, observing Wang Chen’s expression with a smile. “The Seven Ultimate Meeting imposes no restrictions on its members. Although I am the president, my status is entirely equal to everyone else’s—there is no hierarchy here.”

“Moreover, once you join, you will be the final member. Unless someone leaves, we will not recruit any new members.”

“And there are no restrictions on leaving either!”

His sincere explanation finally convinced Wang Chen. “In that case, count me in.”

With no constraints and the freedom to come and go as he pleased, joining the group wouldn’t significantly impact his life.

Through the Seven Ultimate Meeting, Wang Chen could expand his connections and easily exchange resources with other Golden Core true masters.

All things considered, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks!

“Excellent!” Huangfu Yongchun clapped his hands and laughed. “Now our Seven Ultimate Sword is complete! Fellow traveler Wang, take your time to study this Thunderbolt Sword Technique. If you encounter any difficulties, simply send me a message!”

His tone radiated confidence, clearly indicating his mastery of this swordsmanship.

Wang Chen readily agreed.

Deep down, Wang Chen wanted to ask whether the Seven Ultimate Sword Formation could still be assembled if he chose not to join and the Thunderbolt Sword Technique was missing.

But then he reconsidered—Huangfu Yongchun, a Golden Core true master over two hundred years old, surely had backup plans!

The Thunderbolt Sword Technique exchanged with Wang Chen was undoubtedly not the only copy.

After seeing Huangfu Yongchun off, Wang Chen resumed his closed-door cultivation.

He focused on mastering the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

This swordsmanship was profound and intricate, its destructive power far surpassing that of the Four Seasons Sword and the Longing Sword. Grasping its essence was no easy feat.

But Wang Chen had an advantage.

While refining the flying sword for Huangfu Yongchun, he had already gained a basic understanding of the technique. Now, he only needed to gradually elevate his proficiency.

Half a month later, Wang Chen exited the hidden chamber.

He left Luodu Immortal City and soared into the sky, heading southwest.

After flying several hundred miles, he found himself in a desolate area surrounded by rugged mountains and steep peaks—a perfect, secluded location.

Wang Chen chose a patch of open ground and landed.

In the next moment, he summoned the Longyuan Sword.

As this life treasure flying sword emerged, its sharp sword light instantly illuminated the surroundings. Wang Chen swiftly formed a sword seal with his hands and activated the Thunderbolt Sword Technique. Thunderous roars echoed through the valley.

In an instant, the Longyuan Sword circled Wang Chen dozens of times. The sword energy shifted from pure white to a deep blue tinged with purple, while electric snakes crackled and danced along the blade.

As the flying sword’s speed increased, the destructive power unleashed by the Longyuan Sword grew increasingly terrifying. Hundreds of lightning aspects swept through everything within a hundred steps, obliterating all in their path with unstoppable force.

Regardless of the trees, thorns, or the jagged rocks scattered around, everything turned to dust.

At this moment, Wang Chen’s life treasure flying sword had reached a point where it was no longer visible to the naked eye, enveloped by immense thunder power, making it difficult for Wang Chen to control.

Suddenly, a piercing bolt of lightning shot towards the sky, tearing through the atmosphere with a resounding crack, its echo rolling on for a long time.

【Thunderbolt Sword Technique · Experience +1】

Standing in the valley, Wang Chen reached out, and the Longyuan Sword swiftly returned to his grasp.

With the sword in hand, Wang Chen opened his Cultivation Panel.

【Thunderbolt Sword Technique (Mastery): 0/2000】

He had broken through the bottleneck of swordsmanship!

Earlier, while honing this technique in his hidden chamber, he had raised his experience points to the peak of the introductory level.

After that, he couldn’t make any more progress.

Although Wang Chen could directly use Virtue points to boost this technique to mastery level, he felt that was a last resort.

Wang Chen recognized the limitations of his training environment on his swordsmanship, so he decisively exited the hidden chamber and came to a remote mountain area, which indeed allowed him to achieve perfect mastery.

However, Wang Chen was not satisfied with this; he had deeply experienced the power of this technique, and surely he would need to spend more time and effort to continue leveling up.

Wang Chen estimated that during his Golden Core period, he could at most elevate this sword technique to advanced level.

The levels of master and perfect mastery would require him to reach Yuan Ying to break through!

This was Wang Chen’s conclusion based on his understanding and insights about this technique.

Because the Jade Slips that Huangfu Yongchun gave him contained the complete teachings of the Seven Ultimate Sword Techniques.

Touching his chin, Wang Chen pondered.

Just one Thunderbolt Sword Technique was so powerful. If he could gather the complete set of sword techniques, what kind of might would that hold!

According to Huangfu Yongchun, the seven Golden Core cultivators each mastering the swords of heaven, earth, humanity, wind, thunder, fire, and rain could form a sword formation capable of matching mid-level Yuan Ying.

Furthermore, if all seven Golden Core cultivators were at higher levels, they could battle high-level Yuan Ying!

However, there was one issue: the mastery of swordsmanship.

Everyone has different talents and comprehension levels, and the same sword technique can vary widely in virtue, not to mention that there are seven different techniques.

Could it be that regardless of the level of swordsmanship, as long as they formed the Seven Ultimate Sword Formation, they could have such immense power?

Wang Chen did not believe that Huangfu Yongchun was misleading him.

He suspected that this sword technique, or rather the sword formation, held deeper mysteries!

Unfortunately, acquiring the Thunderbolt Sword Technique was already quite difficult. If it weren’t for Huangfu Yongchun’s request, Wang Chen would have never been able to exchange for it. Gathering all seven techniques would require…

Wang Chen shook his head, driving away any thoughts of killing and stealing treasures.

Although he was not a saint, he never committed misdeeds; all the enemies he killed deserved their fate.

A true man knows what to pursue and what to avoid; this belief is the foundation of Wang Chen’s path.

If he abandoned that belief, he would never climb to the highest peak!

Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen decided to find another place to continue his sword practice.

It was a rare opportunity to come out; gaining more experience would be good.

Just as Wang Chen was about to set off, a stream of light suddenly flew in, blocking his path.

Before him stood a group of young cultivators, seven in total, both male and female.

“Oh?”

The leader, a handsome Golden Core cultivator radiating mid-level energy, showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Wang Chen standing alone in the valley.

The area had been “devastated” by Wang Chen, looking as if it had just undergone a fierce battle.

“Apologies for the interruption.”

The Golden Core cultivator bowed to Wang Chen, gestured to his companions, and then turned to leave.

He was straightforward and did not drag things out at all!
