Chapter 160: Lin Mus Idea (1/2)

”Because the owner of the ability does not have control over it, they won't be able to wake up and if the ability does not stop on its own, then they will simply starve to death,” Xukong added.

Lin Mu felt enlightened at this and started to think further on the idea that he had had. The gears and cogs in his head moved and a stream of ideas passed through it until finally, he had another doubt.

”You said that they end up sleeping for a long time, right? Then what was the longest time a cultivator has slept for and what was the shortest?” Lin Mu asked.

”Hmm… From what I know, the longest a cultivator was able to survive was about five hundred years while the shortest time in which one was able to wake up was six months.” Xukong answered as he jogged his memories.

”I see…” Lin Mu muttered as he now had a hand on his chin and was thinking deeply.

Lin Mu had completely forgotten about the dangerous incident that had happened a short while ago and was completely engrossed in his thoughts.

He stayed like that for two hours and the fire in front of him crackled. Lin Mu had Even forgotten about his hunger and could not think of anything except for what was going through his mind.

Finally, Lin Mu snapped out of his strange state and looked back at the end of the cave.

”Senior Xukong, I have come to a decision. You said before that I need to forge my own path and learn to take risks; that time has now come.” Lin Mu declared as a determined expression appeared on his face.

Xukong suddenly had a bad premonition and was actually dreading what Lin Mu was about to say. While he had indeed told Lin Mu to do that, this was proving to be rather unnerving to him, and couldn't tell why. In all the countless years that he had lived, this was one of the handfuls of situations when he had felt nervous.

”And… what have you decided?” Xukong spoke in a calm tone that kind of seemed to be forced.

”I will learn and cultivate the technique that was created by the Lost immortal.” Lin Mu answered.

Xukong suddenly connected the dots and links started forming in his mind. He then realized what Lin Mu was probably thinking and was getting at.

”Don't tell me you…” Xukong muttered.

”Yes, with the help of the lost immortal's technique I will resolve the flaws of the 'Well of Slumber'.” Lin Mu affirmed.

After confirming Lin Mu's words, Xukong started doubting his own judgment. He wondered if he should stop Lin Mu right here and now, or should he let him proceed. But still, whatever he did, Xukong realized that they still did not know fully about the condition of the juvenile Great slumber bear.

”Wait before you go ahead, we still don't know much about this beast. You saw it strange condition and we also know about the Invader. Unless we know the complete story, it will be immensely dangerous for us to proceed.” Xukong spoke in an urgent tone.

Hearing Senior Xukong's words calmed Lin My down and enlightened him to the current situation.
