Dao Inheritance
Your Master-Disciple bonds and your Legacy heir designation used to be two separate relationships. Dao Inheritance ties them into one visible web, and gives the web itself a real payoff.
The Tree
/cultivation inheritance tree opens a new page showing:
- Your master, if you have one.
- Your disciples, if you have taken any.
- Your named heir, from Legacy.
- Everyone who has named you heir.
- The full connected web beyond those direct edges — a master's master, a disciple's disciple, and so on.
The Comprehension Bonus
Every member of your web draws a passive Dao comprehension bonus, scaled by the whole web's combined Dao Mastery strength.
A legendary elder's standing empowers everyone still connected to them — online or not — felt the moment you actually gain comprehension yourself, not as a separate ticking income.
Consent
A Legacy heir designation needs no consent from the heir — Legacy itself works exactly the same whether the heir opted in or not. But being named no longer feeds your strength into someone else's web by default.
/cultivation inheritance house confirm <benefactor>
This is a new, separate opt-in the comprehension bonus requires. Who named you heir is always visible regardless — only the bonus itself is gated behind this confirmation.
Being named an heir and confirming the inheritance bond are different steps. The first happens the moment your benefactor runs /cultivation legacy heir, with no action from you. The second is entirely your call, and only it turns the connection into a comprehension bonus and a Reincarnation bloodline share.
Dao Houses
Any connected member of your web may register or rename a shared Dao House:
/cultivation inheritance house name <name>
Rivalries
A house may declare unilateral rivalry on another:
/cultivation inheritance house rival declare <house>
Win a real-stake Dao Duel against a member of a rival house and you personally — never your whole web — are granted a real Heavenly Dao comprehension reward.
Two conditions gate the reward:
- It must have been a real-stake duel — an honor duel with nothing wagered does not qualify.
- You must not have already claimed this reward within its own cooldown window — a free, unlimited-repetition farm was never the intent.
Commands
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
/cultivation inheritance tree | Opens your Dao Inheritance web |
/cultivation inheritance house name <name> | Registers or renames your shared Dao House |
/cultivation inheritance house confirm <benefactor> | Opts into sharing the comprehension bonus with someone who named you heir |
/cultivation inheritance house rival declare <house> | Unilaterally declares rivalry on another Dao House |
Dao Inheritance is reached from a link on the Dao page rather than its own button on the main menu bar. It builds directly on Master-Disciple bonds and Legacy heir edges — read those two pages first if either is unfamiliar.
