Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2422  Middle Aged Mortal

"How long would it take you to do that?" Xukong asked.

"I don't exactly know." Lin Mu shook his head. "From what I've understood so far, within the same realm if I want to go to a pre-discovered location, I'll need as much Qi as I used before which was at the Transcendent level. But if I want to go to somewhere random within the realm, it is definitely higher than that. The only thing I don't know yet is how much Qi is needed to go across the realms. For example, to the Xiaofan world." He explained.

"Hmm… it should definitely be higher than anywhere within the realm." Xukong said after thinking. "Inter-realm teleportation is always energy intensive. And considering the method used by your teleportation is entirely different from the per-existing channels or even the Realm Gates, I wouldn't be surprised if the cost is much higher." He explained after considering his own experience.

"Well, if there's one thing I don't need to worry about is charging it for now, since I'll be in the state of slumber for quite some time." Lin Mu said with a wry smile. "Still, to think eleven years have passed already." It was rather strange to him as he was now older than his father before he had died. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Its just eleven years and you're only in your fifties." Xukong replied in an attempt to somewhat console him.

"Damn…" instead it hit him harder than before. "Never thought I'd become fifty two so quick." While Lin Mu might not have fully adapted to the time of an immortal, the actual passage of time still did feel fast to him now that he thought of it.

In terms of normal mortals, Lin Mu would already be middle aged. But with his longevity, he might as well be an infant to other immortals.

"Are you feeling old and want to get married, make some kids?" Xukong teased.

"Ah, no!" Lin Mu shook his head. "I think I still got a lot of time for that." "Haha, it's still fine if you make some kids and leave them with the mother." Xukong chuckled. "Leave behind your legacy." "…" Lin Mu didn't even know how to respond to that.

The two continue to talk about the things that had happened as well as what could happen next.

"Oh wait, what happened once we entered through the Warp Portal?" Lin Mu had no memories from that point onwards.

"The Saintess took you away," Xukong answered. "I couldn't sense what happened after that either."

~Phew~

"So she really was waiting for me." Lin Mu felt relieved that his bet had worked out. "Little Shrubby should also be fine with her around." Unlike the twins and Ashy, Little Shrubby had been outside the Sleepscape, and Lin Mu wasn't able to take him back in before passing out. Their time apart was a bit uncomfortable to Lin Mu, as the master and beast hadn't been apart for longer than a couple years before this.

Now it had been more than a decade, thus it was lonely for Lin Mu, especially considering the fact that he didn't know how many years it would take him to awaken again.

"Thankfully, my cultivation should recover by the time I wake up." Lin Mu was happy that the Well of Slumber also helped with that.

After all, the main function of the skill was to cultivate in the first place. "Your body cultivation won't recover, though." Xukong spoke.

"True… I'll have to work on it again." Lin Mu knew it wasn't something that could be fixed on its own. "I burned a lot of the Tyrant Bull's essence. I might need to get more of its marrow to fix this." He added.

"At least now you have people who can help you get it." Xukong stated. "There's people who owe you life debts, so it should be a small thing to help with." He said, considering the background of all those that Lin Mu had saved.

Even if they ignored the Crown Prince and others, Lady Kang alone would be more than enough to help him procure that. Heck, there was a high chance that she already had it stored in her clan's stocks and could be procured as soon as asked.

With that said, Lin Mu felt better and reckoned it was best to just focus on the things he could do for now.

As such, he decided to do a full check up on the Sleepscape first, since he hadn't been here for a while. Doing this, he noticed that the place hadn't changed much other than the fact that the plants had grown decently.

The Purple Sickle Amaranth and the Wood Spirit Tulip both had improved their cultivation base and were at the Immortal Realm firmly.

The best among though was the Mutated Violet Mystic Life Tree that had been at the peak of the immortal realm when Lin Mu had gotten it. The tree was still in its dormant state, though the energy coming from it had increased. The energy released by the tree had enriched the Sleepscape decently, and had been the reason why the other plants had grown so well, too. The Immortal Apple Tree in particular was full of apples and all of them were mature, including the wood elemental apples.

Lin Mu relished in the sweet and sour taste of the apples he hadn't had the chance to eat for years and also stored half of them for later use.

As a celebration of his return, he took out all the stored dishes and ate them with the twins and Ashy. Finally, eating good food after all this time was therapeutic to Lin Mu, but it also made him miss Little Shrubby that much more.

He could only hope that time would pass fast and he could meet Little Shrubby and his other companions soon. In order to do that, he fully embroiled himself in training and comprehending, knowing it was the best way to spend his time.
