The Clear Sword Heart

A Clear Sword Heart was an exceptionally rare natural gift, one of the finest talents in the world. Just look at how incredible the Mystic Sky Iron Egg was. With a sword in hand, it was invincible under heaven.

Even Li Fan's flawless artificial Dao body, with the photographic memory he had copied from Ancestor Luo, couldn't compare to a Clear Sword Heart when it came to talent for swordsmanship. It was at least as much of a gap as having a system to assist you.

Someone with this gift was a true natural genius. Any sword move or sword technique took her one try to learn, two to understand, and three to master. She could even comprehend sword arts on her own and develop new techniques. You could just toss her a sword and let her play with it.

However, while the Clear Sword Heart was powerful, it was a gift of "comprehension." You couldn't detect it just by reading someone's fate or checking their bones. Usually, it was a matter of chance, discovered through the bond between master and disciple. And someone born with a sword heart was naturally fated to meet a Sword Immortal. Someone like Qiong Ying could learn the entry-level sword arts of all five Mystic Sects in a single try, so she was fated to join any of them. Whichever sect she chose, she would be a highly sought-after Daoist prodigy.

Unfortunately, with talent like hers, she had been born into a powerful clan. All she could do was needlework until she was married off to forge an alliance. No matter how talented she was, if no one gave her the chance to touch a sword, and no discerning master was around to notice her, people would only think she had a good memory
