Beasts had Beast Cores they inherited from the Everlasting Beast World...
What about Humans?
What power did they inherit from their interworld ancestors?
Li Shuanwei liked to speak deliberately and slowly, as if he were giving Han Li a picture to figure out the bigger view himself.
Han Li calmly pondered.
Sparks were just powers of the Dao Tree, the Heavens of this world—The World of the Seven Continents. It was a power originally from this world.
But Beast Cores were not. Han Li didn't have much knowledge of it and didn't even really know if it would be possible for Beasts to go beyond Beast King level, which was equivalent to Power Borns. What were the Beast Emperors like?
He had been rather unclear about what even the Heavens were, but now that he had the perspective of Li Shuanwei to think from, he could figure things out.
Indeed...
The Dao Tree being alive in the form of a world-encompassing consciousness made him quite a lot worried about its intentions and also about his Talents.
Would the Dao Tree, the origin of the world itself, actually allow him to steal one of its Daos? Would it? It was basically like stealing its flesh, after all.
Would it obediently give him the ownership oveer the Dao of Lust?
Li Shuanwei didn't interrupt his thoughts.
A minute later, Han Li's voice was severe as he asked, "You found the power of the Humans from the Everlasting Human World? What power do they have? How can we use it ourselves?"
This was not at the level of simple battle strength anymore.
This might as well influence his ambition of attaining immortality and gaining control over life and death.
This was now, actually, solidly important.
Li Shuanwei showed him a calm smile and said, "It is actually rather refreshing to have spoken this out. I also deduced something else. Would you like to know of it?"
Han Li shook his head. "I could guess what it is. I have heard of the multiple worlds in this universe. Each world has a wilted Dao Tree, and among them, people could not even cultivate most of them. But two worlds stand out from all of it, right? The Everlasting Human World and the Everlasting Beast World.
Then, he calmly showed something in his other hand. It was a ball of invisible flame.
"It is this power. Human Cultivation is also split into categories like Beast Cultivation and Dao Tree Cultivation. It is the power of the Vital Weapons. The power humans inherited from the Everlasting Human World."
"..." Han Li listened.
"We can bind anything in the whole world into our invisible flame. Only one thing, but that one thing could be anything.
"From dust to fire to anything! I made hot wind into my Vital Weapon, and it would forever grow stronger with me, and people can't see or easily resist it when I attack with it.
"It would also gain unique powers, especially if I use it with strong weapons. Like I can fuse the power of the hot wind with a sword, and it would gain that power. Hot wind is not the only choice; we can make anything we can touch into our Vital Weapon, and it is much easier to grow in strength than cultivating to higher levels."
"How strong is that weapon?" Han Li asked.
"It can help me stand toe to toe with a weak Power Born for a while. It also grows stronger the more I... am like the wind, carefree and lazy. I don't know the principle of it, but it is a very reliable weapon."
Han Li's gaze slowly grew calm. Indeed, Li Shuanwei had avoided cultivating the path of the Dao Tree because he knew it was worthless to cultivate on that path for anyone but the Seven Sacred Inheritors. But Han Li could have all three: Beast, Human, and Heaven.
It almost seemed as if someone had thrown it on his lap. This was exactly meant for him. Yet, he kept his cynical thoughts of new things active. He had to learn before he took any hasty actions.
"How do I gain a Vital Weapon?" Han Li calmly asked. That seemed to be more than just a weapon. It was the power of the Humans from the higher world. He wanted it.
While these were all the truths, his dear ancestor Li Xingguang had told him to fuse Proficiency, Heart Qi, and such into one. What a misdirection. Idiots would have been misguided.
Li Shuanwei hesitated for a second before saying with a sigh, "You have to gain a sort of enlightenment on what you want and just keep in that enlightened form for some years. I wanted to be like the wind, and when years of that ambition held, I gained my Vital Weapon. I had the choice of what kind of wind I wanted, and I chose hot wind as the weapon.
"Then, the more I did to go on that ambition, the stronger my weapon became. So it is a power of will, I guess... The more ambitious or more someone wants it, the stronger it will be. But the pivotal point of the enlightenment was when I ate another Life Type Magical Resource, Enlightened Heart Fruit, it had made my mind as calm as death itself."
Han Li furrowed his brows.
Years?
So, it was not an instant power-up, but he didn't think he lacked ambition. He had the ambition to become something more than anyone—to become Immortal, the controller of life and death. He wondered if that counted.
Then, there were those two Life Dao Fruits.
This kid really had luck, having eaten two Life Dao Resources in a life as short as 30 years old. It was as if heaven had planned everything...
Han Li's mind shook slightly but for now, he delved that thought aside.
