"Is... it done?" Hua Yu asked.
The Spirit growled. "Don't be impatient."
"Han Li is still not waking up."
"Of course, he won't wake up this quick. At least 3 hours and at most seven days, he won't wake up at any other time."
A passing wind ruffled her hair, and Hua Yu held it with her hand. They were still above that mystical ocean, and Han Li was still unconscious. According to what she learned from the Spirit, Han Li was apparently giving birth to his own Vital Weapon.
It had been a great revelation to Hua Yu. The fact that Vital Weapons existed was somewhat of a headroller for her. The fact that it was the primary cultivation system of another world made her even more baffled.
Apparently, in the vast cosmos, there were two Everlasting Worlds. Worlds that would never die. Yes, even Worlds apparently died when they grew too old. Even the Seven Continents would vanish at some point in billions of years.
But the two Everlasting Worlds were immortal—Everlasting Human World and Everlasting Beast World. Those worlds didn't cultivate Sparks or Dao Souls; that was the way the people of Seven Continents cultivated.
For one, Everlasting Beast World cultivated Beast Cores and evolutions. As for the Everlasting Human World, they cultivated Vital Weapons. It was a path much more sturdy than the Dao Tree Path of their Seven Continents.
Seven Continent's people were too reliant on the Heavens. Even their Magical Powers were not their own. Only the 7 Demon Inheritors could even be considered actual cultivators.
All of that was head-spinning news for Hua Yu, and the Spirit gave them for free. Of course, Munyu was not lazy while she did it; she was overwhelming Han Li's will on the Necklace and taking control of it.
She needed to bring the people inside of it out. She needed to do that.
"So, what is Han Li currently seeing?"
"Hm?" The Spirit chuckled. "His past. He is reliving his life's most major moment—where his mind decided his purpose in living."
"He is unconscious, yet you can't force away this will of his from the necklace?" Hua Yu was still wary of the Spirit but couldn't even see it. The best she could do was to take the necklace away from Han Li's physical body.
He wouldn't be harmed, at least.
"His will is nearly as strong as mine when I was at my peak, and I am at my bottom now." The Spirit sighed, and then finally, the necklace brightened, and three women popped out into the real world.
Yue Li, Liyue, and Ruo.
"Just enough!" Munyu laughed, and the other three women looked around nervously.
What was this calm ocean?
"We will all be moving into Han Li's memory scape now and will experience his major life event with him. You will have complete autonomy in that time, but I will warn you, there is no assurance that everything you see there will be the same as reality."
"Why are we doing this?"
"This is a technique I can use. It would help you awaken your own Vital Weapons along with him—but beware, all of our memory scapes, Han Li's, mine, Liyue's, Yue Li's, Ruo's, and Hua Yu's. We will all lose ourselves in a fantasy world. It will change from his old memories entirely because of us."
"I don't get it," Ruo said weakly. "What is going on?"
"Just know that from now on, we will all enter multiple fantasies, and our only goal in each of them is to find and interact with Han Li. If possible, try to become conscious and break out of the dream. When we wake up, we will all have our Vital Weapons."
"Can't we bring the rest of the sisters?"
"I tried, but his will on the necklace is too hard; I'll be exhausted before I bring all of them out," The Spirit was calm.
Liyue touched the necklace and felt the Existence inside. There was also a Heart Qi will that utterly blocked her way in. Her mind was calm; she felt for the will and smiled inwardly. Indeed, she was not the Spirit.
Han Li's will would, of course, not reject her.
She was special to him.
"Sadly, I don't have the ability to make them levitate. I guess they have to work hard themselves to awaken this Vital Weapon later—for now, it's only us."
"It's not that hard to Awaken if you know how to do it. I'll help the others awaken the Vital Weapon when it's their turn." The Spirit said, "But for us, it is now. And let me tell you one last time: we will be in all kinds of situations, but if you die in there, you will fail to awaken the weapon now and will lose the ability to do that forever. So never die."
Ruo scratched her cheeks, and her hand tightened around Han Li's. "We wouldn't sink into the sea, right?"
"No. This place is safe."
"I don't know what is going on now... I just want to go home..."
"Shut up, Ruo, don't be such a coward."
"It's all Han Li's fault," Ruo gave Han Li's hand a squeeze in anger, but it was too powerful. "Now I can't go back to the Temple for so long..."
Suddenly, she started to feel sleepy, and her eyes blurred.
'What is going on?'
Her head spun, and she fell onto Han Li's chest. The last thing she heard was his vigorous heartbeat and then, it was silence and darkness.
'Hm, so I should try to awaken this Vital Weapon, huh? If I do, everyone will be proud of m...'
