My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Chapter 25: Yue Li's doubts on the dao.

"First of all, Xiao Li, how did you get me a spark? It's impossible to get a person who failed in their evolution to cultivate ever again, right?" Yue Li questioned in curiosity.

She was not the only one who failed in her evolution. There were thousands of such people in the Southern Lust City alone!

To have an ability that could save all of them was something too great to all of a sudden end up in his hands right?

She wasn't that stupid!

"It was something that was included in the Demonic Lust Sutra, the 'Dead's Return Diagram' that I drew on the ground earlier." Han Li calmly pondered and then replied.

Lying to her was the best option at the moment. He didn't want to tell her about him having come back in time due to many reasons, so it was better to lie to her until a good time came when he could confess.

Now was not such a time.

Her mind was too fragile to accept what he had to give.

"Dead's Return Diagram?" Yue Li was more curious now, yeah, that dimly shining drawing was something new.

"You remember the feeling of taking out the spark from inside three barrier sort of things, right?" Han Li questioned.

Yue Li nodded, indeed, the spark had to move past 3 barriers to come out of her body.

"The space inside those barriers is called 'Empty Space' commonly, there are also other names like 'Human furnace' or 'inner space' but most call it the Empty Space.

That is the place in-between a human's soul and body, it is like a bridge of sorts. And everyone has that space, everyone's sparks reside inside until they awaken it and bring it out of the barriers on it."

"Oh? So it is like some kind of house for the sparks to stay inside our body?"

"...In a sense." Han Li nodded, there was no better explanation for it.

"But, Mom, all of the ordinary people only have one spark inside the 'Empty Space' but the Seven Ancient Demons who ruled the seven continents were different. They had all kinds of sparks inside it, even though one main spark stood dominant over the others."

Yue Li listened on; today's morning sure was different.

"And when people die, their 'Empty Spaces' don't vanish immediately. You have heard the legends of the dead turning into stars right?

Any creature that had at least reached the Power Birth Realm – the third major stage – in cultivation, when dead, will have its sparks rise into the sky and transform into stars through thousands of years of transformation.

It is a long process and I don't know much of its specifics, but with the 'Dead's Return Diagram', I am overtaking the authority as lust demon's heir and putting my hand into his Empty Space."

Yue Li fascinatedly listened on but then cringed slightly, "So my spark is something we stole from a dead person?"

"Yes, it is something we stole from one of the Seven Demon's 'Empty Space' that became a star, as I said, they each have all sorts of sparks inside, we just put our hand in and snatched one for ourselves." Han Li said without a pause.

In the end, it meant, they had stolen it from a star high up in the sky. An unknown star that represented the long-dead demon.

That Diagram was that over powered.

Yue Li couldn't quite understand it but nodded regardless.

"Can we use that diagram thing again though?"

That could be used to help many people!

"No, it is an extremely bad idea to keep using power that you don't really understand. I am very ignorant of this thing and I don't plan to use it ever again, for multiple reasons."

He was sure it was not really ominous due to many reasons, but it was better to tell her the seriousness of it.

"Also Mom, never, ever mention anything about what happened today to anyone. It could lead us to death."

Yue Li looked at his eyes for a long while and nodded. She could understand this might be a treasure that others might covet.

It could change the world after all.

But still, the Demonic Lust Sutra had many good stuff... It even helped heal her!

She should thank that merchant someday.

"So what is my spark in the end?"

"Let's brush and clean first, we will go for a test run."

"Okay!" Yue Li excitedly nodded.

They quickly got up, brushed, and cleaned themselves up before making some tea.

And after drinking it, they went back to their room.

...

[Luck Trade]

"What do I have to buy again?" Yue Li asked weirdly.

"Spark Understanding Energy Stone."

"That is a long name..." She closed her eyes and wished for it.

His sacred coins went from [1880] to [1200] and a new trade was initiated.

Han Li waited calmly.

Yue Li suddenly asked, "What kind of stone is this?"

"It is a stone that can show what kind of spark a person has, it will react differently to different sparks, you have to know how to read it and if you do, you will understand it."

He knew how to read it clearly, all high-level cultivators knew.

"...Any identifiable characteristics of that stone?" Yue Li asked weirdly.

"Why?" Han Li questioned back.

"There was this beautiful blue stone that I was once scammed to buy, is that it? It used to shine a long time ago, but it stopped working the day I bought it."

"Show it to me!"

Yue Li went and brought it back with her for him to see.

Han Li scrutinized it. "Damn...That's my 680 coins wasted on our own stuff."

"You should have told me what you are trading for."

"No, I should have checked your collection of scammed products to see if there was something good that I missed."

Yue Li pouted.

"But this stone doesn't shine though..." she muttered.

"Touch it with your spark."

Yue Li brought her Dark Blue Spark out and burned the stone with it.

Soon enough, the stone turned pure blue and then transformed into water that wetted the bedsheets.

Han Li scrutinized it and muttered, "Good."

It was just as expected.

"Your spark is of a Dao related to the Great Dao of Water. No, it will be confusing if I say it that way, so I will explain simpler."

"There are two types of Sparks in this world, Transformation type, and Ethereal Type. The transformation type slowly transforms the human body into something else, for example, the Raven Clan. They have a Transformation Type Spark.

When they reach a high level of cultivation, their whole body can transform into a type of Raven Beast.

And for Ethereal Type, an example is the Starlight Spark. It is a Spark that changes something out of our body - Something Ethereal like Starlight."

"So what type is my new Spark?" Yue Li didn't care for such things that didn't directly affect them.

"It is an Ethereal Spark, so even if you grow in the cultivation level, your body will always remain weak like today and you will have to cultivate specific Cultivation Sutras to make your body stronger.

But your Soul will naturally grow stronger with your Cultivation Level, you don't have to practice any technique for your soul because of the Ethereal Spark."

Yue Li cutely looked at him with her big round eyes.

That kind of complexity was too out of her class.

"Don't worry, you will understand when you cultivate truly."

"...But what is my spark in the end?"

"It is the Rain Water Spark. Quite suited to you actually."

"So I will get Rain powers if I can evolve?" She asked with a gently thumping heart.

"In a sense. But you will have to do so much work to get your body to be as strong as Transformation Spark users of similar cultivation levels. Of course, it will always be hard for them to match you in strength of your Soul."

Especially due to her Soul Talent being so high.

Yue Li pondered on those words and suddenly smiled. "So I am kind of like a Mage from Manhwas and Transformation Type are like Knights. Then what about your Lust Spark, Xiao Li?"

"Mage? Knights?"

"Hahah, You won't understand, you are too dumb to understand such profound Dao."

Han Li laughed, "You know what mom?"

"What?" Yue Li suddenly got a bit defensive at his fierce gaze.

"I am finding you suddenly too irritating, you know what the punishment of irritation is... right?"

"Hoo... a Kiss? Alright." Yue Li smiled, that was okay.

"No, Not a kiss." Han Li silently went infront of her and hugged her.

"I also want to breakthrough, you know? And you no longer have the issues down there."

Yue Li flinched.

"W...what are you about to do?"

"To make my mom mine!"

Han Li pushed her down to the bed with a gentle smile.

Yue Li could do nothing but watch with a fleshed face as he removed his own clothes.
