Chapter 598: Ten Months (1/2)

Another month passed just like that, and Lin Mu finally felt a change in his body.

”It's time for the breakthrough…” Lin Mu muttered.

”Is the spirit Qi already at peak for you?” Xukong asked.

”Yes, my Nascent Soul is already ready for it.” Lin Mu replied and sat down.

He closed his eyes and chanted the severing heart sutra before using his spirit sense to observe his Dantian.

In there, the spirit Qi was like a turbulent sea as it kept on swirling around the Nascent soul. More spirit Qi kept on pouring in from the walls of the Dantian while the Nascent Soul absorbed a majority from the Dantian.

A strange cycle was created like this, which balanced the input and consumption of spirit Qi in Lin Mu's Dantian.

'Despite using Spirit Qi all the time during these past five months, he still managed to reach the breakthrough. This pace is quite good and if he is able to keep it up, it will push him to the next stage soon as well.' Xukong thorough to himself.

The Infant like Nascent Soul in Lin Mu's Dantian kept on absorbing the spirit Qi till it started to finally grow. His arms grew thicker and his legs longer. His back grew taller and his head grew bigger too.

Soon the Nascent Soul changed from looking like an Infant to a Child that looked to be about five years old. This meant that Lin Mu had successfully broken through to the Child Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If one looked at the child soul in Lin Mu's Dantian, one would find a lot more similarities between it and Lin Mu. When it was still an infant, it was hard to tell that but now the similarities would only increase till they looked the same.

~huu~

Lin Mu let out a breath as he stabilized his spirit Qi. It didn't really take him much effort to break through this time as it was the Well Of Slumber doing the work. But Lin Mu knew this could not be done always.

For bigger breakthroughs like those into major realms, Lin Mu would need to be fully awake and in control. Those breakthroughs brought about qualitative changes and without having proper control, Lin Mu would most likely die.

One could only imagine what would happen if Lin Mu was asleep when the heavenly tribulation arrived. While the Mortal strengthening scripture might be able to protect him for a while, if he was not in full control, there were still many problems that could appear.

At least for now, Lin Mu did not need to worry about it.

”How's the difference in spirit Qi of the minor plane now?” Xukong questioned.
