Eve"This!... How is this possible? My state of mind has already reached the fifth stage." Li Xian was shocked for good reason.
He had unknowingly been forced into sleep, without the ability to resist.
The good thing was that he was left with his awareness that this was a dream-like state.
It was just that he had different thoughts as he felt his own situation.
Other than being wary, his mind reflected everything, and something quickly surfaced in the back of his mind.
It became clear, and even some details he had unknowingly overlooked became apparent to him.
When he regained his focus, he was standing in an ice plain with stretches of mountains on all sides.
He turned to look into the sky and discovered clouds forming an inverse canopy.
Thunder kept flashing in the clouds, and along with it was a heavy suppressive pressure.
"Wrong! This place is the rumored dream domain from my previous life." He suddenly realized what had happened instantly.
Back then, this was among the things that got erased from the minds of all those from his civilization.
It was just that he had forgotten it, and even if he remembered it, he might just take it as some myth.
But things were different. He was standing in the place, and the reason for being able to tell was because his spirit and state of mind were no longer that of a young man.
From the past life's recovered memories, he was sure that this place was related to the birth of powerful powerhouses from his past life.
"What kind of opportunities could be hidden within this place? Treasures? No! That is not possible after all, the world will undergo transformation, and all kinds of treasures will be available. The only thing I can think of is inheritance."
His face beamed with a smile as he seemed to have discovered something major.
"I now understand. I understand why those factions from beyond this world are so eager to take people in. Inheritance." He wasn't just excited; his face also turned solemn.
A major part of the reason he was just a mediocre person in his previous life was clearly the lack of a proper inheritance.
Without a proper inheritance, it was impossible to go far, especially when humans weren't born with strong bloodlines or unique innate advantages.
When he was lost in thought, he felt some overwhelming force coming his way, forcing him to turn his head only to see a massive white wolf moving towards him.
Without even time to think, it was over.
Li Xian instinctively waved his hand toward it, only to see the wolf collapse and turn into ice shards.
"This is mind power?" He was astonished before he erupted into wild laughter.
"Hahahaha!!... So that is how it is."
He was indeed excited because he had guessed something.
With a thought, the ice shards that were just about to collapse on the ground remained suspended in the air.
"So this is how it is. In the dreams, the strongest thing is imagination." With this level of insight into what was going on, he became more confident.
His sight turned towards a direction and he walked over, but something strange was that with every simple step he took, he covered vast distances.
It was clearly no different from teleportation. He became calmer as he walked, as though this was just a normal thing. Perhaps this was something to do with his fifth-level state of mind.
Before long, he discovered another behemoth blocking his path, but compared to the white wolf from before, this creature was indeed a giant.
Without even wasting time, he raised his eyes into the sky and snapped his fingers; as a result, the heavens rioted.
Purple thunder that was flashing in the clouds seemed to have been provoked as it gathered to form a massive storm, before descending towards the behemoth.
"So what if your size is beyond my comprehension. You can't escape the power of nature anyway." He commented casually as he observed a massive lightning storm engulf the creature.
This time, nothing was left behind as the thunder struck the behemoth into nothingness.
Li Xian was just about to leave when a golden symbol took form in the void before him.
It appeared like an incomplete symbol that turned into a stream of light vanishing into his head.
"What is this?" He lost sight of it as soon as it entered his head.
He had many questions, but knew this wasn't the time. This event just made him more determined to see what good things were present in this place.
He took hurried steps forward, ignoring distance, and what appeared before him was a vast plain, with a sky-reaching stone pillar.
When he looked at the pillar, his internal excitement couldn't be controlled. He had seen something similar once in his previous life.
"Even though this pillar is too massive beyond common sense, it definitely is similar to the pillar used to impact legacies." With this thought in mind, he seemed to have grasped something.
Instead of rushing forward, he became even more vigilant.
Just as he was thinking of finally taking a step forward, the ground beneath him collapsed, and his figure vanished from place, appearing high in the sky.
He lowered his head, looking in the same position he had been standing, which had been reduced to a massive pit.
Looking closely, thick roots of some kind of plant remained in the place instead.
"Plant life!" He looked below without much shock at this plant life, rather than the fact that it was present in such an extreme environment.
It was just after a moment of contemplation that he remembered this wasn't the real world. In the dream world, anything was possible, just like how he was currently floating in the void.
All he needed was faith in himself and enough imagination, which he wasn't lacking.
"This Inheritance space should be the biggest secret in my previous life that I wasn't even qualified to know." He finally seemed to understand why, in his previous life, a lot of people entered deep sleep.
It was probably related to this place, and it also explained why most of those who had once entered deep sleep became strong individuals. Most even joined stronger factions.
What was even more chilling was the fact that everyone conveniently just forgot about the incidence of people falling into deep sleep, including him.
Had he not been reborn, perhaps it would have been impossible to even remember this.
Looking at the pillar in the distance and the plant life below him, he had an idea and made a motion of raising his right leg.
"Eat my sky trampling leg!" He then stomped down his right leg; as a result, a massive leg phantom manifested between heaven and earth.
Watching this leg phantom, some inner excitement rose within him. Even though Li Xian had lived for a long time in his previous life, about three thousand years, he wasn't considered a big deal, and even some feats he could only see others perform. He wasn't qualified to try them as he was weak.
This feeling of fulfilling one's vanity was completely relaxing, and even without him realizing it, an ethereal aura flowed around him.
His state of mind had actually improved slightly in the process. With an opportunity, it was possible to enter the sixth level state of mind.
But that was not important to him as he was focused on the effects of his stomp.
It seemed as though a nuclear bomb had been dropped as a vast area was devastated by this attack, with the plant life being completely decimated.
When a golden symbol slowly took form, his figure approached.
The symbol turned into a stream of light shooting directly into his head.
He turned to look at the stone pillar in the distance before descending and continuing to approach. It was just that he felt things weren't simple in this place.
Just halfway there, the sound of water flowing appeared in his ears, and looking ahead, a massive tsunami-like wave seemed to be coming his way.
"f***k!" He cursed lightly, but no fear could be seen on his face.
