Q1: Just how many girls (and potentially boys) are going to end up in Lui Jin’s harem?

A: It’s going to be girls only. Probably around 5 or 6 at most. Any more than that would be too hard to handle. There wouldn’t be enough room to explore everyone and maintain a balance.

Though The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You seems intent on proving me wrong there.

Q2: You recently mentioned that all top-tier sects have some form of inheritance from the era before, like Liu Jin’s Nine-Headed Snake God Veins and the Eternal Flame Clan’s Eternal Flame. How did they go about creating these powers in the first place? Are people still creating new powers that can rival that of the Inheritances, and if not, then why not?

This has partially been explained by now, but it doesn’t hurt to expand on it a little. Not everyone can leave behind an Inheritance (with a capital I). As you grow in cultivation and enter the Divine Realms, you get a lot of cool little perks. One of them is the ability to leave behind an aspect of yourself when you pass on.

This aspect, this shadow of what you were, gets to pass down some of your mojo to the lucky schmuck it deems worthy based on conditions that range from fair to hilariously arbitrary. Some Inheritances, for example, cannot be given to women. Not because they are incompatible with the power, but because the person it came from really hated women. The opposite also happens.

Anyone who enters the Divine Realm can choose to leave behind an Inheritance, so yes, new Inheritances that can rival existing Inheritances can be created.

Q3: You mentioned how Feng Zhi’s high cultivation level in relation to his age is a product of skill, resources, and, above all, lineage/eugenics. What I’m curious about is if Liu Jin, given his heritage, also reaped such benefits from his parentage?

*Makes so-so motion with his hand*

Liu Jin kind of got the short end of the genetics stick. His mother did not come from any notable bloodline, and his father crippled himself before Liu Jin was conceived. This played a part in limiting the traits Liu Jin received since most of them worked at a more spiritual level, and Qing Jianguo had very effectively neutered those parts of himself.

Liu Jin did get some things, but they work at a very subtle level. Minor buffs here and there for the most part. There are also things that may become more obvious when he enters the Storm Dragon Palace.

Oh, and the purple lightning. Pretty much everyone has figured out he’s going to unlock that, so I figure there’s no harm in confirming it.

Q4: The five faeries (all top-level emperors) versus patriarch Feng (Divine realm, but unstable). Who loses, and why is it the crimson cloud empire?

Only Meng Yue and Bai Lianshi are in the Ninth Level of the Emperor Realm. That said, the remaining three fairies are still in the high levels of the Emperor Realm.

However, Patriarch Feng would win. The Divine Realms are no joke, and his understanding of his Dao is greater than theirs.

Anyway, I hope people liked this. Don’t be afraid of leaving questions in the comments. You can even leave questions for Nine-to-Five if you want.
