"…So you are the Sect Master's new disciple, huh… I didn't expect you to be so young." Looking over Xiaoyi's small frame with an expression of dull surprise, Mu Rengxue seemed as indifferent as ever.
"And he transmitted the Heaven-Wind Two-Trigram Divine Law as well, huh? Dandan, you gave up the right of succession just like that?" With a penetrating look, Mu Rengxue glanced at Shu Yidan.
"I believe she will be a better successor. She has great fate and greater talent." Shu Yidan said without blinking.
"Is that so, huh? Well… Do what you think is best." Saying this, she dropped that thread.
"…Thanks for your concern. Can you summon the 'Taibai Yang-Metal Sword Bullet Classic'?" Shu Yidan thought for a moment before asking.
"That's a mouthful. And here." A book flew from a faraway shelf into Shu Yidan's hands.
"…Xiaoyi. You want anything?" Shu Yidan asked her.
"Not really." With a headshake, Xiaoyi declined.
"Well then. You want to refine this Sword Bullet first, or do you want to get your manuals?" Shu Yidan asked again.
"…What even is a Sword Bullet?
Isn't this the Divine Ability you said I could learn!?
No, didn't you say that this was a Bloodline Technique!!?
That's right, I should be a Sword Immortal's Bloodline Descendent!!!?
But wait, who are these Sword Immortals in the first place?!?!?"
Seeing Xiaoyi confusedly asking him about things he was sure she should be knowing, Shu Yidan wondered what she had actually learnt from the Sect Master in the years she followed him.
…
"Let's start from the beginning. At Golden Core Realm, a sword cultivator gains the power to shoot out sword lights from his mouth like a dragon breathing fire. That is a Sword Bullet.
If you train in this ability, you can shoot sword light from your mouth even at Qi Refining." Shu Yidan hid his exasperation as he spoke.
"That seems cool…" Xiaoyi said with a toothy grin.
"Don't be so enthused. You will sustain great internal injuries every time you use it at Qi Refining Realm, and you will have to spend a great amount of time and focus on maintaining a solid foundation for cultivation if you dare train in it. You can't simply gain power without sacrifice, you know?" Shu Yidan couldn't help but caution her.
"A solid foundation is only natural, how it be possible to become the strongest with a lacking foundation? As for internal injuries, that means I will have to keep it as a finishing card." Xiaoyi's tone changed in a blink. "By the way, can this Sword Bullet's poker be strengthened by the Mountbatten Sword Intent?"
"Naturally. You can probably strike out with the power of a Nascent Soul if you use the two techniques together."
"As expected. Now, what's this Sword Bullet's relation with Mountbatten's Sword Intent?" Xiaoyi said biting her lip.
"You already have Golden Core offensive ability with the power of Mountbatten's Sword Intent.
You can consider Sword Immortal Mountbatten's Sword Intent is inheritance of your ancestor's enlightenment into the sword… the inheritance of Spirit.
Like that, the Sword Bullet's power is the inheritance of your ancestor's Essence.
It is only because you are his descendent, that you have the capability of training a Golden Core's capability at Qi Refining."
"Since it is an inheritance of your Ancestor Mountbatten's Essence, it can be called a Bloodline Technique. Normal sword cultivators gain this power on reaching Golden Core, but you can gain this at Qi Refining due to your Ancestor's presence in your lineage." Shu Yidan finished with a smile.
"Sword Bullet is my Ancestor's Essence Inheritance… Sword Intent is my Ancestor's Spirit Inheritance… What would be my Ancestor's Qi Inheritance, then?" Xiaoyi seemed like she was asking herself.
Shu Yidan dutifully answered, "A Sword Immortal's Qi Inheritance is called Sword Remnant.
You'll need an artifact your Ancestor used in his lifetime, something he poured his Qi into. After binding it as your Natal Artifact and fusing it into your dantian, you will attain the Sword Remnant of Ancestor Mountbatten."
"…And what's a Natal Artifact?" Shu Yidan almost facepalmed at that question.
"When you reach 3rd Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, you can bind a specially forged treasure into your dantian. It will grow with your cultivation and will stay useful for a long time." Saying this, Shu Yidan frowned. "Sect Master didn't tell you?"
"No, but he did give me a sword that belonged to Ancestor Mountbatten." Saying this, Xiaoyi brought out a ruined sword with a broken blade. "I don't think using this as a Natal Artifact is a good idea."
"Yeah it certainly isn't." Shu Yidan paused for a moment before sighing. "That sword is a Sixth Boundary Artifact that shattered due to a tribulation, sticking it in your dantian will cripple you."
"A Sixth Boundary Artifact?! That means that this sword can only be controlled by a Void Refining Cultivator, a person who has entered the Sixth Boundary of cultivation!" Shu Yidan sighed, at least she knew this.
Artifacts – weapons, armors and such were ranked according to cultivation levels, starting from Qi Refining cultivators who could use First Boundary Artifacts to Void Refining cultivators who could use Sixth Boundary Artifacts.
"It is still a shattered remnant… Master said no one is capable of reforging it. He told me to keep it in case I encountered a legacy left by my ancestor…" Xiaoyi sighed. "In any case, Sword Immortals are awesome. They can leave Sword Intent, Sword Bullet and Sword Remnants behind for their forbearers, leaving their Spirit, Essence and Qi behind. Just how can they be this generous?"
"That's because all this can only be inherited by a Sword Immortal Bloodline Descendent… and a Sword Immortal Bloodline doesn't actually need to be passed down by reproduction." Sighing, Shu Yidan began speaking. "When a sword cultivator ascends beyond Void Refining Realm and breaks past the fetters of this world, he is titled a Sword Immortal. Before ascending, in the few hours left to them in the Mortal World, they can leave their Sword Intent behind to those tied to them by karma. It can be their blood relations, their friends, their loves and their disciples… even extending to their enemies."
"Anyway, the Sword Intent left behind will seamlessly merge into that person's entire body, granting them special abilities allowing a chance of this Sword Intent awakening in their descendants." Licking his lip, Shu Yidan smiled. "Sword Intent can only be passed down to a limited number of people, but all their following lineage have a chance of awakening it and becoming a Sword Immortal Bloodline Descendant."
