The Seven Kill Sword passed down through the Chen Family, the Nine Heart Begonia passed down through the Ye Family, and the Golden Crocodile Martial Soul passed down through the Tian Family all faced issues of inheritance.

No matter how many descendants he fathered through diligent plowing, their Martial Souls might be swords, but they could never be the Seven Kill Sword—unless the previous Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul Master slit his own throat.
