44: Chapter 44: Controlling Han Li's Life and Death!

"Maybe I should create a Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus?"

Once this thought emerged, it became impossible to shake from his mind.

It forced Zhao Changsheng to temporarily suppress this notion using a secret method from the Great Evolution Art related to calming the mind and spirit.

After all, given his current strength, trying to control the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was almost an unrealistic endeavor.

But with this Fallen Heart Flame, his cultivation speed could increase significantly once more.

It must be known, as a Wood Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root, his original cultivation speed was already remarkably fast.

Now, adding the Fallen Heart Flame on top of that, the cultivation speed would simply be unimaginable.

Beyond increasing cultivation speed, there was also the most crucial point: the Heart Flame Fire born from the Fallen Heart Flame.

This thing could not only help others increase their cultivation speed; the most important, most critical aspect was that it could also control another person's life and death.

Although the target's Realm had to be lower than his own, that was enough to prove its terrifying nature.

Thinking of this, two suitable candidates appeared in Zhao Changsheng's mind.

They were his two Junior Brothers—Han Li and Zhang Tie!

Han Li was the most suitable candidate. As for Zhang Tie, due to his temperament, he was prone to letting things slip, so he was not suitable, at least not yet.

If this matter were ever leaked, it would be a complete catastrophe; dying might even become a difficult wish at that point.

Moreover, he truly did want to control Han Li's life and death. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about Han Li betraying him in the future, at least not for the time being.

Although their relationship was that of Senior and Junior Brothers, in reality, they both harbored wariness towards each other; both wanted to eliminate the other.

Especially Han Li; he was definitely scheming ways to kill him.

Just as Zhao Changsheng was pondering how to make Han Li willingly choose to Cultivate using the Fallen Heart Flame's Heart Flame Fire, the next task suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Task: Go to the Chaotic Star Sea within ten years]!

"Isn't this task a bit too simple?"

As soon as the task appeared, Zhao Changsheng felt it was somewhat simple.

After all, within ten years, he was sure he could repair the Teleportation Array and then go to the Chaotic Star Sea.

But the most important matter now was still securing control over Han Li's life and death.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changsheng temporarily put the task aside and then sent Han Li a sound transmission talisman, telling him to come to his Immortal Cave immediately.

When Han Li received the sound transmission talisman from Zhao Changsheng, he immediately apologized to Old Man Ma, asking for leave to depart the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Old Man Ma naturally didn't mind this request and directly agreed.

Once permission was granted, Han Li proceeded to Zhao Changsheng's Immortal Cave at the fastest speed... Meanwhile, Zhao Changsheng led Han Li to the main hall of his cave.

"Senior Brother, what matter brings you to seek me?"

After taking a seat, Han Li drank a sip of tea personally handed to him by Zhao Changsheng and, with an uneasy heart, asked the question that was on his mind.

Currently, he was completely in the dark, not understanding why Zhao Changsheng was so urgently summoning him.

"Actually, the main reason for inviting Junior Brother here this time is a piece of good news. To be honest, if not for Junior Brother's repeated assistance, I might not have been willing to share this good news. I just wonder if Junior Brother is willing?"

Zhao Changsheng took a sip of his own poured tea, revealing a mysterious smile.

His words only added to Han Li's confusion, but he could be certain Zhao Changsheng likely had ill intentions.

However, even though he thought this in his heart, Han Li dared not show the slightest hint on his surface.

Because his biggest secret was in Zhao Changsheng's grasp. If he offended Zhao Changsheng, the consequences were imaginable.

He simply couldn't understand why Zhao Changsheng hadn't seized the little green bottle. Faced with such a Heaven-Defying treasure, why hadn't Zhao Changsheng snatched it? Instead, he used the excuse that it was his own Opportunity for those destined to find it, making him a herb-tending apprentice to help Cultivate medicinal plants and Spirit Medicine.

It truly left Han Li utterly perplexed, unable to figure it out.

"Senior Brother, please speak! What kind of good news is it?"

Han Li's face showed an excited and enthusiastic smile as he hurriedly pressed for an answer, appearing somewhat impatient.

Zhao Changsheng was well aware it was more likely Han Li was putting on an act.

Possessing a Heaven-Defying treasure like the little green bottle, how could Han Li show such enthusiasm for other good news?

But he also nodded impassively, then slowly opened his palm. Instantly, a nearly transparent flame appeared in his hand.

"Junior Brother, can you clearly see what's in my hand?"

After conjuring this Heart Flame Fire, Zhao Changsheng immediately asked Han Li.

"Senior Brother, it seems to be a cluster of flames in your hand, but my Realm is lowly. Unless I use the Heavenly Eye Technique, I truly cannot see it clearly. Could it be some powerful Divine Ability?"

Han Li was actually somewhat pleased.

After all, his current strength wasn't much. If he could learn a Divine Ability, it would definitely increase his power considerably.

"Correct, this can be considered a Divine Ability. However, this ability can only be cultivated by me alone; you cannot Cultivate it, or rather, no one else can. This Divine Ability offers great benefits to Cultivators; it can accelerate cultivation speed. Simply put, it increases the rate at which one refines Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Junior Brother, now open your mind and spirit, do not resist."

Saying this, Zhao Changsheng directly ordered Han Li to open his mind.

Han Li was listening with great interest when he heard such a command. Although dissatisfied in his heart, he had no choice but to comply. He could only obediently open his mind and spirit, allowing Zhao Changsheng to slowly extend the transparent flame in his hand towards him. Then, under his horrified gaze, that cluster of transparent flame completely ignored his flesh and blood, entering his body's Dantian.

Immediately after, Han Li looked inward and saw the transparent flame burning fiercely within his Dantian.

But before he could panic, he discovered his cultivation speed was indeed as Zhao Changsheng had said, much faster. He didn't even need to circulate his Cultivation Technique or consume Medicinal Pills; he could Cultivate on his own.

Upon realizing this, an uncontrollable look of excitement and enthusiasm appeared on Han Li's face.

"This... this..."

Han Li was even stammering now, enough to prove how happy and excited he was at this moment.

What did it mean? It meant he was cultivating at all times, anywhere. It meant he no longer needed to worry about his cultivation problems at all. Moreover, the speed of refining Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was much faster than his own, almost more than double.

Such a cultivation speed gave him even greater hope for achieving Core Formation in the future.

"Junior Brother, how does it feel? Isn't it exceptionally good?"
