* Sword Gate Visualization Art [Human] (Discarded) <Age 9~15>
	+ Obtained: Generally provided for all new Sword Gate outer hall disciples. Discarded for the Celestial Cultivation Technique given by Xin Huo. Sometimes used to express Soul Liberty in official Sword Gate events during the Mortal Level.
	+ By practicing this cultivation technique, a Sword Gate would be formed in the practitioner’s psyche ocean. As long as the soul could break free from the Sword Gate, it would be able to leave the body and achieve Soul Liberty. However, this art only very slowly train the psyche, but does not nourish the soul. Therefore, this art creates a dependency on medicines, a rich item, to improve one's cultivation.

### Sui Insight Dao Scripture

* Unlike the other cultivation arts that provided full sets of guidance to the cultivators on how to progress in their cultivation, explaining the Dao abstruseties step by step, the [Sui Insight Dao Scripture] was more like Great Sui’s personal memoir. It recorded his cultivation path in a mixed and random manner. There wasn’t a complete guide on how to cultivate it and even had some peculiar ways of cultivations in the scripture that didn’t belong to Great Sui’s totem cultivation system.

## Physique Refining Art

* Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art [Physique Refining] [Visualization]  <Age 9~15Ch.>
	+ Obtained from the Sword Gate Outer Hall Lower House. Used as a Mortal. Zhong Yue commonly uses it as multiple appendages.
	+ It was also a visualization art that originated from a tribe who worshipped Jiao Dragons as their totem. To practice this technique, one had to imagine a fierce Jiao Dragon winding around one’s body to strengthen the body and grow immense strength. It does not promote cultivation beyond the Visualization rank, because this at Mortal stage only has the skin of the Jiao Dragon instead of the inner body or even the spirit of the Jiao Dragon: there is no flesh, veins or internal organs. Its main function is to visualize a real Jiao Dragon or parts of it into reality.
	+ This physique refining art made Zhong Yue’s 15 year old body many times more powerful than usual Sword Gate outer sect disciples. The reason Zhong Yue bitterly cultivated this physique refining art was because he was born poor and needed to frequently go down the mountain to pick herbs and refine pills, strengthening himself to have a way to preserve his survival. This art enhances the body to protect the soul during the Mortal cultivation period.
	+ Initially, the Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art enhanced its prowess during Zhong Yue's Mortal cultivation period.
	+ Revised, with dual usage alongside the Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill's 12 Thunder totems, to improve physique refining. Later added the Xiang Dragon totem to improve and allowing the physique to be comparable to that of a Qi Practitioner despite being a Mortal.
	+ Reconstructed and re-visualized at Rebirth Qi Practitioner level during initial sculpting course, as eight Jiao Dragons. Later developed twelve golden Jiao Dragons and finally, under Ao Fenglou's visualization, the completion with Jiao Dragon's quintessence called the Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms.

* Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art [Physique Refining]
	+ Contains the Great Sun and Bright Moon, obtained from two Arts given by Xin Huo using the cultivated Sun Pupil and Moon Pupil. Requires dual spirits of Sun and Moon as a Qi Practitioner. Purifying the physique of impurities as the soul becomes stronger. It also assists in bloodline purification.
	+ Based on the Rising Sun and Falling Moon Tai Yi Art/Tai Chi Art, replacing the complex visualized Tai Hao that binds Yin-Yang with the Jiao Dragon carving of the Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art.
	+ Great Sun Prodigious Emanation Art [Physique Refining]: First layer of insight brought to Zhong Yue by the spirit of the Great Sun Golden Crow - Forming the Great Sun Totem with his psyche and irradiating his whole body to acquire a prodigious body, smelting it, removing all blemishes inside and outside with tough refinement. Focus more on the physique.
		- 【Boundless Great Sun】
	+ Bright Moon Prodigious Emanation Art [Physique Refining]: First layer of insight brought to Zhong Yue by the spirit of the Bright Moon Star Toad - Forming the Bright Moon Totem with his psyche and irradiating his whole body to acquire a prodigious body, washing it, removing all impurities inside and outside with gentle cleansing.
