Memory Inheritance

"Huh! What happened? Ouch! It hurts." Inside the black space illuminated by glowing crystals, Li Xian opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of the pagoda. It was the same black sealing created with metal and wood. When tried to remember, he felt a sharp pain in his mind.

His eyes shut down with his mouth opened for screaming. But his scream didn't stop. He kept remembering more and suffering even more. The painful screams keep coming out of his mouth. After few minutes, he was breathing heavily laying on his back covered with sweat.

"Hahaha-Hahaha-Hahaha! Mother was right. Memory inheritances really exist." Suddenly, out of nowhere, Li Xian started laughing. His laughter was resounding throughout the room. After another minute of laughter, he began to sort out his memory.

This was the memory of a man called Lin Yan. He also called himself the true hegemon. In Li Xian's entire life, he didn't think he would get the memory of a person that lived in the Primordial Era. It was amazing that a person could store his consciousness and memories in a divine fire that they lit after a certain realm.

Through his memories, he gained a lot of knowledge about the entire universe. But there was a problem. This was the memory from the Primordial Era which seems to be even further behind than the Ancient Era. He found many things changes after the destruction of the era but he didn't learn how the era is destroyed actually.

So, he basically doesn't have much knowledge about Eras. But he understood, not thoroughly but roughly about the cultivation realms. There are five steps of cultivation. The first step is called Shedding Mortal Body, the second step is called Acknowledging the Heaven, the third step is called Forging Immortality, the fourth step is called Become God, and the fifth step is called Being Ancestor.

The nine realms of cultivation that he knows are under Shedding Mortal Body. So, it's the first step of cultivation.

After getting the powerhouse memory, he sorted this memory into three categories.

Cultivation Category- He found lots of techniques, arts, even something called spells, divine abilities, and other cultivation-related information.

Least Important Category- He stored information about alchemy, formation inscriptions, and forging in this category.

Important for Life Category- He found knowledge and experience of this hegemon from his early age to his death. He learned many things such as whom to trust? Whom to betray? How to talk with people? How to handle difficult situations? Different experiences are all stored in his mind.

For a second, he was worried that it might affect him but now it seems that's not true. He can use this knowledge and experience without any side effects.

But he didn't check everything. He found most of them were arts or techniques that can only be used after the third stage. Because the energies do not match. Third step techniques and arts use immortal energy. Of course, there were some techniques that he can still use as a mortal and he found one thing that he needs the most.

It was a heart law known as 'Infinite Dao Scripture'. (A/N: Pure Inextinguishable Solar Heart Law = Pure Inextinguishable Solar Scripture/ Heart Law = Scripture)

This scripture was the peak of all scripture. Everything can be infinite and the heart is the same. Heart Laws are also called Scripture. He didn't know that until now.

It is said that the path of cultivation is vast. There are numerous methods that lead to the peak of cultivation. Swordsmanship, Martial Artist, and Spiritualist are the three most common paths taken by humans.

Demon Path is taken by the demonic cultivator. Monster Path is taken by the monsters. Buddha Path is taken by the Buddha. Although the majority of Buddhists are humans, they do not consider themselves human.

They considered themselves as a demi-god race. And they have utmost faith in their Lord Buddha. It is not impossible to walk on two or three paths but it's almost impossible to make an equal improvement. But Infinite Dao Scripture allows one to merge different paths into one.

There are several stages and the first stage allows one to merge Heart Law as one. This was a very important step and didn't expect he will get it so easily. Of course, he wouldn't call this easy because he almost died during this process.

He was very much grateful to the pagoda for saving him. Now that he has Heart Law, he instantly sat crossed leg and ran Infinite Dao Scripture in his mind. Heart Law creates a path for a cultivator. Normally, it depends upon the Heart Law to create the path that suits the cultivator.

Naturally, a swordsman doesn't want to create a martial artist path. So, he must choose a Heart Law that highly matches his cultivation technique and completely matches his path. Because once a person severe his path, he must start his cultivation from the basic.

Of course, here martial artists have an advantage. Even if they severe their path, they can still retain their physical body cultivation. But that's not possible for a swordsman. Infinite Dao Scripture creates a path like a tree.

A tree has roots, one stem, and many branches. These are the most common part of the trees except leaves. Infinite Dao Scriptures create a path that has infinite roots, one stem, and infinite branches.

Here, roots are the cultivation techniques, the stem is a heart law, branches are the cultivation paths, and finally, leaves are the arts. It could sword art, martial art, or soul art. It is normal for a tree to have shorter and longer branches but it needs a solid stem so no matter how many branches grow, it can hold them.

Heart Law is situated at the heart. So, he must create the roots. Suddenly, he stopped running his Infinite Dao Scripture. He found he must prepare the basics first. For swordsmanship, he has Sword Devouring Technique as his basic. For martial artists, he has Pure Yuan Energy Technique.

Although he can find other techniques in the memories that he could use right now, he doesn't think that would be a good idea. When he practiced the Basic Sword Technique, he didn't practice anything else until he mastered it.

Of course, he didn't have any choice at that moment. But now, he had the habit to master the technique first. Only after master one technique, he can create a solid foundation. Now, he can use the Pure Yuan Energy Technique for both his sword cultivation and martial cultivation.

Still, he thinks using Pure Yuan Energy Technique for the martial path would be a good choice. Especially if he is going to change it in the future. Sword Devouring Technique will be a long technique, it would be fixated for sword path.

Now, he needs the path for soul path cultivation. He doesn't have a technique yet so he can basically choose one from his memory. Surprisingly, this guy had taken many paths but not the path of swordsmanship.

It was truly astonishing but when he found the reason, he almost laughed out loud. Unlike any other path, there is only one way for sword cultivation. You must have sword meridians. This is the most essential truth for sword cultivation.

And, if you don't have good inborn sword talent, you will be a laughing stock in the universe. Even Saint or Immortal Grade Sword Meridians are common in the universe. But unlike them, other paths have two ways to succeed on their path based on inborn talent.

Most common would be battle spirits, some are rare bloodline cultivators like monsters, devils, and Buddha. But humans would mostly rely on their battle spirit. Some are rare awakening both bloodlines and battle spirit.

Invoking battle spirit is very essential for the human race since most of them can't awaken bloodlines. Fortunately, Li Xian has Sword Devouring Technique that can improve his sword meridians. Previously, he didn't know the ranks of his battle spirits because he didn't know what comes after Heaven Rank.

Now that he knows, he became excited about his Battle Spirits.

Spirit Connecting Tree of Enlightenment was a Divine Grade Nine Stars Battle Spirit. Eternal Book of Heaven was a Universal Grade Nine Stars Battle Spirit. Just with his Spirit Connecting Tree of Enlightenment, he can succeed a higher rank in the martial path. But he has two.

He might even surpass his own sword cultivation just like his current state. Every Battle Spirit has its own unique feature. And among them, Unification, Energy Creation, and Growth Types are the best. That's why Luo Tang was envious of Ling Tan.

Battle Spirit Unification wasn't possible for him. He doesn't even know about his battle spirit true name. Li Xian's Spirit Connecting Tree of Enlightenment was Energy Creation. There are some other battle spirits that can create a unique energy that can create a perfect foundation in earlier stages.

As for the spiritualist, he was god-gifted on it. According to Xiao Feng, he has the power to forcefully make spirits give up their original contractor and be his slave. Considering that, these spirits would only sign an equal contract with humans.

That's the power of his bloodline that he has inherited from his mother. Now, when he thought about it he blushed for a moment. If he hadn't lost his Divine Grade Sword Meridians, he would've been top in all three paths.

But it doesn't now, he already has his new path. And for soul cultivation, he chose a technique known as 'Destiny Star Soul Cultivation Technique'.
