Killing Xianxia Protagonists With An AI System In Another World!

"That said, I never expected for you to actually cultivate the Azurewind Sky Seizing Seven Blades. Do you remember that time those years back? You asked for the strongest blade technique of the sect, so I just gave that to you. Heh, you were so cute then." The Sect Master smiled.

Shu Yidan felt something trigger within his mind, as if a seal shattered, and a flood of memories filled his mind. If it was any other transmigrator, he would have fallen unconscious but Shu Yidan only licked his lips.

"You… Seriously, I thought you would act befitting your age and give me a Qi Refining-level cultivation technique to learn. Instead, you gave me that blade technique's complete inheritance! Seriously, you taught me the stances and then wandered off to 'broaden your horizons'!" Shu Yidan angrily spoke, but his words had a hint of warmth. He had learnt the tsundere act sometime in his past life.

"Eh, I gave you what you wanted. How is that a mistake? I believed in your peerless talent!" The Sect Master gave a toothy grin.

"I thought you would have a hidden meaning or something, befitting your status as a Sect Master!" Shu Yidan raged.

"So, what did you comprehend from my gesture?" The Sect Master asked teasingly.

"That I am not the Azurewind Sect Master's match in talent! That cultivating a blade technique whose core comes from a magic spell takes years while your cultivation stagnates! That you can't fucking master a finger technique, a staff technique, a spear technique with the intent to train in the blade! And that going insane trying to replicate a peerless talent's achievements gets you your grandfather's worry! And that it would finally end up with you getting dosed up with aphrodisiac and thrown in bed with a sudden Dao Companion to help boost cultivation! Yeah, I fucking learnt many things!" Shu Yidan blew up at the old man.

"Yeah, and knowing all that, why would you still train in this impossible technique, still spend a decade on learning formations to use the technique and spend more than a decade until you could finally somehow use it? You can use the technique most Nascent Souls would be incapable of using, Lancet Wind as a Golden Core with that formation! I didn't expect you to come so far…" The Sect Master sighed.

"Yidan." The Sect Master called him by his name, in a familiar way. It was as if he had known him for far too long. "You don't have to worry. As long as I am the Sect Master of the Heavenly Wind Sect, you don't have to worry about being attacked. Your parents… I could not save them, and the revenge taken was hollow. But I promised your grandfather and myself. Now I promise you, and if you need me to, I'll promise the Heavens. You will not die."

A cold feeling came over Shu Yidan as the transfer of memories completed.

The Shu Clan was exterminated. Only his grandfather and him remained.

"Anyway, spending 5 years on formations was a waste as I expected, so I'll resume focus on my actual cultivation now. If I had comprehended an Intent or something, it could actually be useful. How meaningless…" Shu Yidan gave a sigh of disappointment while trying to regain his cool.

"Yes, you should cultivate and not waste your natural talent on trivialities. Do you know that Master Azurewind built the entire Cultivation Manor on Azurewind Peak by himself, and then built the formations of Azurewind Peak by himself as well? He told me he wanted an insight and it was all for that. Insights… they are easy to think of and hard to gain. Even Master couldn't help it…" The Sect Master said sighing.

"Whatever. I've heard that story a million times from grandfather. 'Our Shu Clan occupied the Azurewind Peak when it wasn't named so and the four directions surrounding it, Master Azurewind drove them off without listening to his wife, he named the Azurewind Peak and built the place up, blah blah blah…' Anyway, your kid Xiaoyi is quite interesting. Could have beaten me dead if not for that formation." Shu Yidan smiled.

"Don't blame that child. It would be my fault as her master to fail at teaching her. I heard that she broke the formation when you were with your Dao Companion and broke your cultivation…" The tone of worry in the Sect Master's voice was quite moving.

"I don't mind, she is a child after all. All I can blame is her luck, or my lack thereof. The backlash sent my cultivation base to Initial Golden Core, the sweet spot where my lack of qi would be my undoing. Peak Foundation Establishment and I could subdue her after a few thousand moves, Early Golden Core and it would take a few hundred moves. Initial Golden Core… I had to burn my lifespan to use Nascent Soul strength. And to think I only wanted to use it against you…" Shu Yidan said with a rueful tone.

"I didn't think you would shrug it off losing your lifespan and cultivation like that. Are you interested in Xiaoyi? See, she is only 13 years of age now, but…" The Sect Master acted like the old grandpa he was supposed to be and started nagging about marriage.

"I am not going for that kid. Sheesh, are you trying to sell a little brat to me?! And when I have a Dao Companion at that…" Shu Yidan shook his head.

"You were so cold to Feng Shiyao before, but it seems you've warmed up to her. But anyway, you know the thing about her Sect right? That little whorehouse is a stain on her reputation, it would be better if you take a concubine. Oh, but if you warm up to Xiaoyi, she needs to be your wife for sure." The Sect Master's words caused Shu Yidan to only shake his head.

"Oh, well. In any case, Xiaoyi shall inherit my sword techniques and you can inherit all I learnt from Master Azurewind. After I pass… you shall be the Sect Master and Xiaoyi… well, I'll think something up for her." The Sect Master sighed.

"Don't say such depressing words. As long as a breath remains… What was that saying anyway? Anyway, don't be so depressing. You are alive now." Shu Yidan's dismissive tone caused the Sect Master to smile.

"'As long as a breath remains, hope is immortal.'… You are right. I still have breath, I still have hope, I can still seek immortality… Bah, I won't fool myself. But nice try, nearly cheered me up, kid." The Sect Master's eyes narrowed.

"How long do you have, anyway? And grandfather?" Shu Yidan asked.

"Your grandpa is a peerless man of great talent, he won't die anytime soon. As for me, though… 60 years is all I have. That's half the lifespan you burnt in that meaningless spar." The Sect Master grit his teeth.

"At your realm, lifespan-replenishing items have hardly any effect… Perhaps some unorthodox techniques could save your life, but those usually end with a life worse than death… I am sorry." Shu Yidan's face turned ugly.

"Don't worry. I still breath, after all. At my realm, becoming closer to death is only natural. I am half-step Void Refining now. How unfortunate, to enter Samsara without facing even tribulation… Whatever, if I am lucky enough to reincarnate as a human, I'll tread the path to Immortality once more." At the end of the statement, the Sect Master fell silent and there was no reply from Shu Yidan.

For a scant few moments. "So that kid Xiaoyi, it would be troublesome if she idiotically challenges someone of higher cultivation and dies meaninglessly. Any countermeasures you've thought up?" Shu Yidan shifted the topic to his newest disciple, and the Sect Master eagerly acquiesced.

"It is her disposition. I don't know any way of fixing it, and before you ask, I've tried everything I could. I even had her…" A long rant followed. Apparently Xiaoyi had ended up killing loads of challenging existences in their little trip, be it beasts, soldiers, sect disciples… Even a Nascent Soul somehow. When she could kill them, they would die. When she couldn't kill them, Sect Master would.

Once the Sect Master even crippled a Nascent Soul of his cultivation base for Xiaoyi, leaving him with only his bare physical body. This Nascent Soul had enough defensive prowess to be unharmed by Xiaoyi's attacks and enough physical strength to suppress Xiaoyi while being incapable of killing her. With the Sect Master observing, Xiaoyi attacked, attacked, attacked and kept attacking for three days straight until the poor cultivator died from exhaustion when he finally couldn't keep his eyes open.

A Nascent Soul was exhausted to death…

There was her bloodline to keep in mind as well, but her unrelenting drive to challenge people to battle, even including high cultivation existences…

Shu Yidan mentally pinged Xiaoyi as an autist. Well, from the little knowledge of psychology he possessed, Shu Yidan could only box her as a 'batshit insane' and 'autist'.

Autist sounded kinder, at least in his mind.

"Interesting kid. Sect Master… can I ask a request of you?" Shu Yidan's tone turned serious.

"Want her hand in marriage? Sure, I'll act as the father-in-law…" The Sect Master hadn't given up the jolly old man act.
