Chapter 2272 Six Months In Sleepscape

Chapter 2272 Six Months In Sleepscape

Lin Mu didn't know how many days he had been flying. It could have been months or perhaps even an entire year. But he knew that the act was now feeling natural to him. 'It's almost as if I have wings myself...' Lin Mu thought to himself.

As an Immortal, he had been flying for a long time too, but it was never in the way that a bird flew. Cultivators flew in the air by the means of controlling the Qi within their bodies and the ambient around them.

Usually they pushed and pulled, the ambient Qi allowing them to move through it.

In a way it was similar to how someone swam in the water. If there was no ambient Qi in the surroundings, a cultivator would have a hard time flying but they still could. The difference would be that they would have to use the Qi within their bodies to fly.

They would have to continually expel the Qi in their bodies in order to fly.

This method was exhausting and could easily deplete their Qi. But for a bird, it didn't matter if there was ambient Qi in the air or not. It could simply flap its wings and fly in the air. As such, it got a 'true' understanding of the Sky and the Air.

By living through Ashy's memories and going through various conditions, Lin Mu understood how it was to truly fly as well as what the Sky was like.

Every feeling was thoroughly imbued in him, as if his very own instincts had been expanded.

~SHUA~

Finally, he reached the end of the memories and returned to the memory library he had made.

~huu~

He took a deep breath and glanced at the gate that was still filling with memories.

"This will be enough." Lin Mu had an inkling that this was the farthest he could get by living through other's memories. ~SHUA~

With that in mind, he canceled his current state as everything started to fade away. Lin Mu's consciousness returned to his body, making him open his eyes in the Sleepscape.

He turned his head to the left, and glanced at the bird that was fast asleep on his shoulder.

The tiny bird's eyes were closed and seemed to be deep in sleep.

"To think you'd actually maintain that state for over three months." Xukong's voice was heard, making Lin Mu look up.

The spider was floating a short distance from him and had possibly been watching him for a while.

"Three months?" Lin Mu muttered hearing the period. "Shorter than I expected." To him the time experienced was much longer.

"They're cooking something." Xukong replied. "Went to the other side of the Sleepscape so that they wouldn't disturb you." He revealed.

"Ah!" Lin Mu extended his immortal sense and quickly found the trio cooking.

It was mostly Little Shrubby cooking, while the twins assisted him. "They got bored and wanted to eat food, but you were still in the memories so Little Shrubby did it instead." Xukong explained.

"No wonder." Lin Mu muttered. "Well, it's fine for them to do that. I'll go take a look outside first while they continue." He said knowing that it was important to do that first.

"Alright." Xukong replied, before Lin Mu departed from the Sleepscape.

He opened his eyes in the real world and roused from the bed.

~step~ step~

"Huh... Feels weird to walk." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

His legs felt a bit strange to him, as if he had lost the habit of using them.

'Is this due to being in Ashy's memories for that long?' Lin Mu wondered.

He was sure that it wasn't due to being immobile, as he had done that for longer periods in the past. For years in a row, thus it shouldn't have been an issue now.

Thus the only factor that was left was him being in the memories.

"Looks like being in the form of another body for that long affected me." Lin Mu muttered to himself. "Now that I think of it, I had flown in the Sleepscape upon waking, and didn't walk." It had been done instinctively by him too.

Thinking about it all now, Lin Mu became a bit wary of doing it.

'While it did allow me to get an understanding of the Sky, it also does affects me in other ways.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He understood that being in different body forms might not be the most ideal thing to do for long periods of time.

But after he walked around the room for a bit, his body's natural instincts returned and he felt normal using it again.

"That's better." Lin Mu was pleased that it was normal so quickly. "Perhaps its not that bad. I'll just be more careful next time." He reckoned taking breaks in between might be the better option, instead of doing it nonstop like he had for three months this time.

With that sorted, Lin Mu walked out of the room and looked for his companions. A single sweep with his immortal sense told him where everyone was, making him go to the meeting hall where the closest individuals were.

In there, the Crown Prince seemed to be present along with Qiao De. The others such as Crown Princess Shang, Daoist Chu, Monk Hushu and Lady Kang were in their rooms. Lady Kang's two attendants were in their rooms too, cultivating. As for Ziran, Lin Mu found him to be outside the base near the formations.
