Seven-Slaughtering Sword

Seven-Slaughtering Sword is a Non-Taiyi Law used in Xiandao Cultivation. It is the premier Artifact fighting law outside of the DLC Law of Nimbus Conquest. It has a relatively harsh cultivation, making it a challenging starting law for beginners.
==Methods of acquisition==
Seven-Slaughtering Sword can be acquired by:
* selecting it as a starting Experience: Sword Legacy for humans,
* winning the Kunlun Competition Sword Duel (Secrets_KunLunFaHui4),
*with a Manifesting Mandate (Secrets_Gong3) Secret.
==Law Match==
Matching or exceeding the following Attribute values improves Cultivation:
Element	PER	CON	CHA	INT	LUK
 	7 	7 	 	 	4
The highest possible Law Matching value with capped stats and without any Metal Law Matching Bonus for Sixteen Supreme Steps Law is 173%.
== General ==
Seven-Slaughtering Sword's first two breakthroughs are particularly difficult in terms of attributes requirements and penalties. Past golden core, all its breakthroughs become Tribulations, which can make them trivial or challenging depending on your game experience and preparedness.
Despite its overall long cultivation time, the law gets all its bonuses except Demi-God very early, at 309,200 Cultivation experience, making them battle-ready pretty fast.
Seven-Slaughtering Sword has particularly strong exclusive manuals, getting access to 2 extra Max Artifacts, raw artifact power and Artifact Qi Recovery Multiplier. While it has some mutually-exclusive Manuals, The Sword Ultima is generally better early on as Artifact Max Qi ought to be avoided.

==Element related aspects==
Seven-Slaughtering Sword is a Metal Element Law, the following applies for all Metal Element Laws.
===Cultivation resources===
As a Metal Law, it wants an environment rich in Earth. Due to a large amount of Earth Qi Gathering materials, Metal laws are considered easy to cultivate.
==== Earth Element Cultivation Array====
*Flooring under the cultivator should be Holy Stone Offcut, or Jade Offcut, for the added element. Graystone/Brownstone/Marble are identical in stats, or equally weak.
*When utilizing Qi Cushions, Lumina Core Bars are ideal. Darksteel is comparable in effectiveness to Spirit Stone, while Iron is one of the worst materials when Cozy is considered.
*When utilizing the Altar of Magic, Holy Stone is ideal, as it provides the greatest Cozy factor while also greatly emitting the feeding element. Spirit Crystal is cheaper, but has a lower effectiveness and a lack of element. Jade is even cheaper, while being even lower in effectiveness.
*Dragon Feces are useful for increasing Qi Gathering, not so much for increasing the Element. When lacking in Element, replacing Dragon Feces with Holy Stones or Ocher Essence can help with increasing Element strength.
===Event differences===
Metal Element cultivators are utilized in following events:
Natural Spirit Root in the wild (Story_LingZhiGet);
*Lake Jadestone (Place_Snowfield2) with a LUK equal or greater than a random number between 1 and 9 for a Prism Lotus.
*Mt. Rue (Place_FertileField5) with a LUK equal or greater than a random number between 1 and 19 for a Sage Fruit.
Cultivation Areas:
*Metal Element areas (Mt. Mesa, Story_XiuLian_Jin): result is Cultivation XP increased by 10*State*State*State
*Wood Element areas (Millspine Forest, Story_XiuLian_Mu): result is Cultivation XP increased by 10*State
* Water Element areas (Supreme Clarity Cave, Story_XiuLian_Shui): result is Cultivation XP increased by 10*State
*Fire Element areas (Glimmer Cave, Story_XiuLian_Huo): result is receiving an Overflow of Qi damage
*Earth Element areas (Mirage Wastelands, Story_XiuLian_Tu): result is Cultivation XP increased by 20 *State*State*State
Rare Adventure Spots:
*Rare Metal drop (HighFind_Jin, Abyss), if cultivators LUK is equal or greater than a random number between 1 and 19, receive an item from the locations PlaceHighProduce cache.
*Rare Wood drop (HighFind_Mu, not utilized in any existing location), result is nothing.
*Rare Water drop (HighFind_Shui, Celestial Pool, Deathknell Cave), if cultivators LUK is equal or greater than a random number between 1 and 9, receive an item from the locations PlaceHighProduce cache.
*Rare Fire drop (HighFind_Huo, Poison Dragon Lake), result is nothing.
*Rare Earth drop (HighFind_Tu, Gemspring Cave, Southrock Palace (WuDang DLC)), result is nothing.
Other Events:
*Bladesmith Tomb (Story_JianZhong, adventuring at Bladesmith Tomb), Metal Cultivators have the received Artifact with its Material as Southern Fire Essence(Item_Other_ShuiJing).
*Mysterious Array Diagram (BaoZang_QingLianShan21, adventuring at Mt. Caerulea), Metal Element cultivators are used to fill the Array during Winter.
===Ancient Formation Node requirements===

*Divine Law Formation - Emperor of Polaris Formation
