Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 102 - About Aura

Although Yao Han now had two new swords that belonged to a high-level heirloom and were too special for a Basic realm cultivator's size, it didn't mean that he could use them so easily, because the higher the level of an heirloom, the more Qi needed to use it perfectly, unless Yao Han used the two swords just to get used to it or practice swordsmanship without Qi.

The Silver Sky Sword and the Eternal Night Sword, these two swords apart from having a uniqueness could be put together and turned into another sword that was named by Tian Jian as the Yin Yang Sword, the Yin Yang Sword, the strength of these two swords was almost similar.

Silver Sky Sword, besides being able to suppress the strength of the opponent especially those containing negative energy by ten percent, is also very powerful to eradicate anything that has negative energy, such as ghosts, undead, evil spirits, or demons.

While the Eternal Night Sword, it could also suppress the opponent's power of negative energy, but it was greater. No matter the level of practice, the opponent's strength would be suppressed to twenty percent even if it was just adjacent to this sword.

Tian Jian added, The Eternal Night Sword is one of the most feared heirlooms of demons. Even though the Night Wolf was a spirit animal, it would still be affected by this sword even if it was only a few percent.

The exception for Bing Lizi, Hong Meirong, and She Yutian was because despite having other forms of spirit beasts, they were basically from birth not spirit beasts so were unaffected by the pressure of the Eternal Night Sword.

"Han'er, perhaps Sister Hong once told you this, but I want to convey it again. For most of the people even for Sword Cultivators, having a high-level heirloom sword was both luck and blessing. Yet it actually did not show someone to be a true Sword Cultivator..."

Yao Han understood the direction Tian Jian spoke and rightly Meirong had also once said the same to him while still on the Moon Star Island regarding the Sword Dao.

One could only be called a true Sword Cultivator if not to rely on an heirloom sword in a fight. In other words, it is the whole limb of his own body that becomes the sword, whether it be fingers, hands, or perhaps feet.

This achievement required an extremely high level of mastery of the Sword Dao, named the sword soul. When one had a sword soul on them, then it could cut something so easily with their limbs without even using Qi.

Tian Jian and Hong Meirong as the best Sword Cultivators the Blue Moon Continent cultivation world had ever had and were five hundred years older and almost reached this level of mastery. For them at the moment, being able to bring up and attack an opponent using a sword made of Qi was the highest level of mastery they achieved.

Of course this was not only true for the Sword Dao, but rather the Dao that was related to mastery of other heirloom weapons, such as spears or sticks.

"I understand, Uncle Master Tian..."

"Very good. Ah, one more thing about you learning my sword..."

Yao Han couldn't directly learn the best swordsmanship Tian Jian had. The reason can be said to be simple. Firstly, Yao Han had long enough to deepen or even master the sword arts moves from Meirong even though it was not very suitable for him. Second, the basic movements of Tian Jian and Meirong swordsmanship were different considerably.

Based on the brief match practice with Tian Jian earlier, Yao Han was clearly aware of the difference. Meirong swordsmanship relied more on flexibility and agility, while Tian Jian swordsmanship relied more on strength and speed.

It took some time to get used to even just learning the simplest moves of Tian Jian's swordsmanship. However, Meirong was certain that his only disciple could master Tian Jian's swordsmanship in a relatively short period of time, perhaps two to three times faster than Yao Han learning his swordsmanship.

As Tian Jian conversed with Yao Han, Meirong asked Bing Lizi something.

"Senior Bing, when you first saw Han'er, you said Han'er has a unique aura like Senior Feng. I think the same, but about this aura...Do you know it any further?"

Bing Lizi looked at Meirong with a frowned, feeling Meirong's question was very strange.

"Senior Feng forbade him from telling us."

Bing Lizi stroked her chin, "Hm, weird too, but not too surprising. In the past, Brother Feng was silent as the three of us asked this strange aura he had."

The Ruler's Aura or Conqueror's Aura, that was how Bing Lizi called out the strange aura that Feng Xian had and Yao Han also possessed. Bing Lizi thought, this aura Feng Xian learned from his teacher, who was the previous owner of Star Moon Island.

"From what I know, this aura can be formed in several ways. One of the easiest ways to change the aura of the killer into the Aura of the Conqueror..."

This aura allows a person to look different, where people will be reluctant or afraid of him. If it is likened, as the people always see an Emperor.

"I see, yes, I understand now."

Meirong and Yutian were indeed unaware of this aura, but it was certain that when they returned from the closed-door training to reach the Core Realm, Meirong was quite disturbed by the dense murderous aura that Yao Han had back then, that was, so it began to complain and protest at Feng Xian, thinking Feng Xian had something to do with this murderous aura.

Feng Xian had indeed deliberately made Yao Han have a dense murderous aura. And not long after Meirong stopped complaining to Feng Xian, Yao Han's murderous aura slowly diminished and changed with an aura that made him look Feng Xian while still or being serious.

"It would not be wrong for me to refer to Xiao Han as Brother Feng in his youth." Bing Lizi laughed softly.

"I think you have a point, Senior Bing."

They were currently inside the cave again. Yao Han then recalled the Moon Peach Arak, so he offered it to Bing Lizi and Tian Jian.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've been drinking wine, let alone drinking with others." Bing Lizi smiled broadly receiving the wine jar from Yao Han.

"Yeah, Han'er. You kept the wine but just took it out now? Aish..."

From Tian Jian's reaction, Yao Han instantly understood the man included wine lovers like Feng Xian and Yutian. Despite the time of complaining, Tian Jian smiled so widely and his face was like a child receiving a gift of candy.

All get wine, except for Yutian, who displays a matted face.

Author Note:

The strange aura Yao Han learned from Feng Xian was similar to Xiao Chen's Dragon Aura in the LPN or Haki novels in the One Piece manga/anime series.
