Chapter 853 - Understanding The New Form And Returning (1/2)

Lin Mu was currently sitting down cross legged in the hall. His lips lightly moved as he chanted the Calming heart sutra in a low voice.

He was trying to see if the sutra could return his body to the normal again. He chanted the Calming Heart sutra for about an hour before he could feel any effect. At first, the change was very minor and unnoticeable.

But in just five more minutes, it was rapidly increasing. Lin Mu's body started to shrink and his skin color returned to normal. His nails retracted and became the usual white-pink color while his fangs changed to normal teeth.

His eye's also changed back to the usual black color and his muscles nearly returned to their original mass. After about an hour, Lin Mu had mostly returned to his normal looks, though his body still seemed a bit bigger than before.

Namely, his muscles that were far bulkier than before. He was more on the slender side before, but now he was a bit buffer. Though this was more noticeable right now, since his body was bare.

The top half of his robes had been torn and only his legs and waist had managed to keep their shape. Lin Mu looked at his body and saw that the few injuries he had before had healed over as well.

Though along with this, he got a different feeling as well.

”The hunger… it is returning…” Lin Mu muttered as he felt his stomach signaling to him.

He was a bit worried about it as he knew this would not be the normal hunger he had. It would be the painful starving hunger that he got a couple of times before. It was a very difficult state to be in and made thinking difficult.

'It's still a while away, but I'll need to deal with it soon enough.' Lin Mu thought.

He was also estimating just how much the transformation had taken out of him if it had drained all the vitality and nutrients that had been stored in the past year or so. Lin Mu had eaten a lot of beasts and herbs that contained copious amounts of vital energy.

It was that which assisted in his transformation along with healing his wounds. Technically, Lin Mu had eaten several hundred times his body mass in spirit beast meat. But even then, the entire store had been consumed in that single transformation.

”Will this be the normal now? Can I transform back into it or not…” Lin Mu wondered.

And just as he said this, another voice was heard.

”Finally! I can contact you again.” Xukong spoke out loud.

”Senior?” Lin Mu responded. ”What happened?” he asked.

”Your state was unstable and our link was suppressed. I couldn't contact you, no matter how much I tried. That state you were in… it was overflowing with malice. Your thoughts kept on spilling into the common mind space, but I couldn't talk to you at all.

It was like swimming against the river current, and your thoughts were the river.” Xukong replied.
