Walker Of The Worlds

With the production levels of the grass, it would take over a decade or more to make enough fabric to wave the clothes that Elder Niji wore. And even then, these clothes werenʼt that durable and would deteriorate over the years.

Perhaps this was the reason why only the elder of the tribe was given the chance to wear them. And the reason why it became a sign of authority.

ʼThe absence of these things perhaps allowed the Haima Tribe to become a lot more focused naturally. Since they donʼt even know the existence of such things, their minds wonʼt wander and they would become a lot more calm.

Perhaps this is what the old experts say about severing the secular ties and avoiding the mortal indulgences. They would taint the mind and weaken their mentality, hindering their cultivation in the process.ʼ Lin Mu understood even more.

He continued to learn more while days continued to pass and his insights developed as well.

But that wasnʼt all Lin Mu did. He also focused on his own cultivation. More and more Wood energy rich spirit apples would grow on the tree in his Sleepscape, allowing him to slowly progress the refinement of his liver.

With his stomach satisfied and sufficient vitality stored in it, Lin Mu didnʼt need to worry about entering the Sleepscape or sleeping anymore.

There, he would continue his practice and learning. At the same time, it was a method for him to wait for the people he cared about; mainly Xukong and Little Shrubby.

Both of them were in a dormant state now, and Lin Mu had no idea when they would wake up.

ʼConsidering how much Little Shrubby taxed his bloodline and the source of the Vitality reversal technique, it might take at least a year before he wakes up again.ʼ Lin Mu reckoned as he observed the large seen in front of him.

Whenever he came to the Sleepscape, he would take out the seed that Little Shrubby had become and talk to it. There was also the fact that the seed absorbed the spirit Qi in the Sleepscape naturally which Lin Mu thought would help it open earlier.

Thus he took it out regularly, just like one would water plants.

But for Xukongʼs condition, Lin Mu was entirely helpless. He had tried talking to him through their shared mental space but was unable to do that. It was as if there was a solid wall standing in between the two minds.

ʼIs this what Senior Xukong felt when I was in an unnatural state of the Nine divine heart sutras?ʼ Lin Mu wondered.

Still, there was nothing he could do to predict how long it would take for Xukong to wake up. At least for Little Shrubby Lin Mu could directly check him with his spirit sense, but doing that for Xukong was simply impossible.

Xukongʼs avatar was surrounded by a shell of dense spatial energy of the ring and even coming within a hundred meters of it would destroy everything.

If it were not for the fact that Lin Mu couldnʼt take this energy out of the ring, he might have a weapon that could easily tear apart worlds. But then it would also be a weapon that would kill him upon using it.

~rustle~

While observing the space inside the ring though, Lin Mu suddenly felt something moving.

”Huh?” His attention wandered before it finally came to settle on a moving object.

Perhaps moving was a little understatement, as the object was simply trembling in one place.

”The eggʼs moving!” Lin Muʼs eyes went wide.

The Grey egg had been developing steadily ever since it consumed all the Yang Energy from Gu Yaoʼs hideout. Lin Mu had only checked on it a couple of times ever since coming to the Land of Exile since there wasnʼt much to do.

But when he checked it last time, he was sure it wasnʼt moving like this.

~shua~

The grey egg appeared in his hands and Lin Mu took a closer look at it.

”Itʼs vitality is a lot greater than before.” Lin Mu could instantly tell upon touching the egg.

The vigorous vitality was almost overflowing and perhaps if it werenʼt for the shell, it would have already spilled out.

But that wasnʼt all that Lin Mu felt. He also felt something more.

”Thatʼs a heartbeat!” Lin Mu could now hear pronounced heartbeats coming from the egg.

They were like the low sound of drums, as if someone lightly tapped on them. Even if it was low, it could still be heard audibly.

Lin Mu could feel the heartbeats getting louder and louder with the vitality intensifying too.

~tak~tak~tak~

Then a few moments later, he could hear a tapping sound coming from the egg.

ʼItʼs trying to break out.ʼ Lin Mu understood.

He quickly left the Sleepscape and returned to his body in the real world.
