Year 1036 of the Zhang Dynasty - Northeast of The Northern Forest - Underground
While moving underground, there was something I need to ask Yue.
"Are all the parents in the secondary sects section like that?" Linjian
"Like what?" Yue
"Do they kill their children?" Linjian
I cant believe a father can do something like that.
"...I think it had more to do with their cultivation Ranks" Yue
"Cultivation Rank?" Linjian
"In the scrolls teaching how to be a good concubine there was information about this, supposedly a good woman shouldn't expect affection from a Silver Rank cultivator or children from Gold Rank cultivators" Yue
"They shouldn't expect children?" Linjian
"Yes, it seems that when a cultivator grow in Rank their fertility drops and therefore a concubine should understand" Yue
[That makes sense because if that weren't the case, the world would be full of children of the emperor]
"It's a relief that Tang didn't break through Silver Rank or else he might have left me in the mansion" Yue
[This may have something to do with the impurities]
(Impurities?)
[In the cultivation novels, the Breakthrough of Ranks usually comes with the expelling of impurities]
(What does that do?)
[It is unclear, they only say that it cleans the body. I used to believe that they cleaned the blood or discarded useless organs but...]
(It seems that they get rid of feelings)
[Yes, they get rid of feelings and everything not related to becoming stronger. Like fertility, empathy, justice sense or love]
(So that is why they act like bloodlust monsters)
[Parents act like that and children imitate them, creating this kind of society]
It is like they abandon their humanity to become something else, something wicked.
...
...
Almost a day has passed and Tang finally awakened from one of the now two beds in the room.
"Uggh" Tang
"Tang!" Yue
She hugged him.
"I am sorry for the pain that I caused you" Linjian
I needed to apologize.
"It is fine, I asked for it" Tang
[Well, lets see if the Blood serum did the trick]
If it works, I wouldn't need to see the blood type of every person in the future.

[It worked!]
(Great!)
The experiment was a success.
"How do you feel?" Linjian
"Not as weak as I expected" Tang
"That is because you too have the system now" Linjian
"!!!" Tang
"Now we can be disciples of Master together" Yue
"Thank you Master Linjian" Tang
(They really like to call me that)
[Well, some respect isn't bad]
"Try saying status" Linjian
"Status" Tang
He said it without delay.
"Whooa" Tang
"It feels weird, doesn't it?" Yue
"Yes, it truly does" Tang
"You already heard about the parameters when I spoke to Yue, so lets see what you can do" Linjian
(Maria, What is the Sword Art Skill)
[It allows him to strengthen his sword with Mana]
(Like my Earth Manipulation?)
[No, this Skill focuses on cutting and yours focuses in blunt damage]
"What should I do Master Linjian?" Tang
[It needs a sword to be used]
(Then lets create one)
I put my hand in the ground.
(Transmutation)
[15 MP COMSUMED]
And I create the stronger steel Bastard Sword that my skill can create.
"Take this" Linjian
The sword exchanges hands.
"What an incredible blade!" Tang
"You can tell without using it?" Yue
"That's how amazing it is" Tang
[There is no comparison between the iron swords of this world and the steel sword you just created]
I create a rectangular target with Earth Manipulation.
"Say Sword Art and cut it with the sword" Linjian
I teach Tang how to use his skill.
"Yes Master Linjian" Tang
He gets closer to the target.
"Sword Art" Tang
The sword obtains a faint blue color and the target is cut in half horizontally.
"Did I just become stronger than my cultivator self?" Tang
[His Brawn increased by four points with a consume of three MP, for a level one skill that is very good]
"You can cancel the skill by thinking of doing so" Linjian
He canceled it.
"I was mentally prepared to become weaker, but I become stronger instead" Tang
"All Thanks to master" Yue
It is good that they are happy but...
"Tang, Yue"
I spoke in a serious tone and they looked at me.
"This strength was born to change this world, if you two really want to become my disciples then you will be fighting the cultivators. Are you ready for that?"
...their faces changed from happy ones to determined ones.
"My freedom will only be complete when this cultivator world disappears" Yue
"Life and Death are not games if my sword can change something, I will do it" Tang
"Allow us to accompany you in the creation of a new world, Master" Yue and Tang
"I couldn't ask for better companions" Linjian
