Chapter 453: Vitality

"Seven Clans Battle for Supremacy?"Li An's eyebrows raised slightly."Sounds exciting. What's the gameplay?"Shuangxue said seriously, "There's no set gameplay.""The structure of the Hezong Alliance is very complex, largely controlled by eight major interest groups.""Cloud Pavilion, Golden Treasure Tower, Insect Garden, Jisheng Palace, Savage Mountain, Leiju, Tree Heart Forest, Wuji Sea."Li An nodded and said, "I've read about it.""These eight interest groups also have nicknames: Cultivation Park, Business Park, Insect Park, Science Park, Zoo, Humanoid Park, Botanical Park, and Ocean Park."Shuangxue smiled, "Yes.""Our human textbooks explain the Hezong Alliance's strength as a result of the eight major interest groups' bloody profiteering.""The powerful individuals of each of these eight groups serve their respective masters and brutally secure benefits for their respective factions.""Then It's a primitive arena, and competition for resources is fierce."This time is no exception.""The eight major interest groups will fight on their own. Once we land in the Hezong Alliance Realm, the leaders of each interest group will extend olive branches to us, hiring us as temporary workers and having us fight for their employers."Li An paused, "How will the Cultivation Points be calculated?"Shuangxue continued, "The eight major interest groups will use their resources to exchange for Cultivation Points from the Three Realms.""Then, they will use these Cultivation Points as compensation to hire us.""And, Cultivation Points are only one part of the mission rewards.""All missions issued offer dual rewards.""Props + Cultivation Points.""Interesting." Li An chuckled, feeling a sense of anticipation.Frost Snow: "According to the Five Elements Emperor, the Alliance Realm's primary focus over the past six months has been on cultivating each player's social skills.""Which employer to choose, and how to complete those challenging missions, is entirely up to you.""Right now, that realm is a vast gold mine for us, but to unearth the largest and most valuable treasures, you'll need to use your ingenuity.""Also, while completing our missions, we might encounter geniuses from the Xiu Holy Temple or the other three realms.""It's even possible that geniuses from all seven races will receive the same mission, chasing the same treasure."Li An listened, grinning, and said, "That would be interesting."A glint of anticipation flickered in his eyes, and he took out the Star Observatory and began to research the characteristics of each of the eight interest groups.Finally, he set his sights on the Heartwood Forest.The Zerg possess the strongest self-healing and regenerative abilities.But Li An needs more than just self-healing abilities; he also needs vitality.Vitality has nothing to do with physical strength, power, or speed.This is a special attribute.This attribute provides comprehensive benefits. Those with strong vitality have a greater perception and affinity for all things, which is beneficial for progress and can also enhance physical strength to a certain extent.But these are not the most crucial factors.The Tree Heart Forest possesses a special power called the Tree Heart Spirit Qi. This is a unique skill unique to the Tree Heart Forest, and across all the heavens and realms, only they possess this special power.When the Tree Heart Spirit Qi enters the body, an individual's perception of all living things will be elevated to an incredible level.Rumor has it that after absorbing the Tree Heart Spirit Qi, a person will enter a state of selflessness, as if they have completely merged with all things.This brings us to another point from human textbooks.Where is the Tao?In all things.Thus, there is a way to sharpen the heart of the Tao: to perceive all things.The movement of heaven and earth.The ebb and flow of life.Are there patterns in these things?Why is the world the way it is?After integrating the Tree Heart Spirit Qi, those elusive whys may finally find answers. That was the opportunity for enlightenment!Shen Ji's method of cultivation was to sharpen his Dao heart with evil thoughts.Li An had been to the Eighteen Levels of Hell and later looked directly into Yu Jingnian's evil thoughts.He felt that this path was not suitable for him.That was a concept.His perspective was different from others.Others' Dao hearts were honed.But Li An felt that his own Dao heart would grow and strengthen.The former became increasingly flawless, like a precious treasure.The latter grew larger and stronger.Which path was better? No one could answer.But Li An's intuition told him that the path of growth was the best for him.Just as his theory had proven.Evil thoughts were not necessarily evil.On the contrary, those without evil thoughts and fangs would find it difficult to thrive in this world.He believed that everything had its meaning and reason for existence.There was no need to grind something into another form. Ang Lee first came up with this idea because of a childhood conversation with his grandfather.Naive little Ang Lee went shopping with his parents and bought a colorful jade bracelet for his grandmother.She loved it.But his grandfather didn't."This bracelet is full of artificial pigments, and the pattern was chiseled out with a knife. How much did I spend on it? I didn't get ripped off, did I?"Ang Lee curled his lips, looking at the jade bracelet on his grandfather's hand. He thought his own was the ugliest.It was very white, translucent.But there was nothing else.It was just a white bracelet, nothing special. Then, Grandpa told little Li An, "The reason this bracelet on your hand is so precious is because the entire piece of jade is pure natural jade, only the shape has been carved.""All the other materials you see are naturally derived substances, without any artificial additives or synthetic ingredients.""Natural is the most beautiful.""Humans are just a floating speck in nature; nothing we create can be more perfect than what nature has created.""This is the aesthetic of our ancestors."Later, the more little Li An looked at the colorful bracelet, the more he found it cluttered and unappealing. After a few glances, he found it boring. On the other hand, Grandpa's bracelet, on the other hand, became more and more beautiful.From then on, Li An believed that natural was the most beautiful.And later, he wondered why natural was beautiful.Finally, one day, looking at the physique he had cultivated through boxing practice, he understood the underlying principle.Vitality!Everything created by nature possesses vitality. Anything artificially synthesized is rigid.Including himself, a human being.His own flesh and blood. With each breath, the muscles in his body gently rippled with the flow of qi, looking like tangible life force.So, for Li An right now, there were indeed many better options.A place where he could progress faster, a place where he could cultivate his healing abilities better, or a place like the Savage Mountains where ancient martial arts were practiced.Li An could choose any of these places.But Li An chose the Heartwood Forest, where the vitality was most evident.Thinking of this, he turned back to look at Shuangxue.Shuangxue was sitting on the bed, knees together, trimming his pedicure."What's wrong?" Shuangxue raised her glittering eyes.Li An shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just thought you looked beautiful today."Once, Shuangxue was deeply trapped in Tiancan, her body stiff, like a walking corpse.She had beautiful features and a stunning figure, but something was always missing.Now, she was alive.Life flowed through her body.Every smile and frown became exquisitely beautiful.
