Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2410  Dreams And Uncanny Familiarity

Lin Mu's new state of existence was confusing to him. He didn't know if it was because he had never read about anything like this before, or the fact that he didn't even know how he ended up in this state.

At first his lack of memories had forced him to ponder on it endlessly without a clue, but as they returned he started to realize that he was or rather should be sleeping.

'How am I not in the Sleepscape?' Lin Mu wondered as he existed in his formless state. 'The Well of Slumber should be active, but I should still be able to enter the Sleepscape.' He tried multiple times but for some reason he simply couldn't enter it.

After a while of thinking, he ended up entering a deep sleep again and when he woke up he found himself in another 'dream'.

This was rather common as he would have no reference of time and would enter and exit various states.

Though in these 'dreams' he had, he was a lot more 'substantial'.

Such as the fact that he could actually have a semblance of his body in them.

As such he felt a lot more 'complete' and not disoriented. This was also where he could function the best and think better too.

"Okay, so what dream is this about?" Lin Mu wondered as he looked around.

He seemingly stood at the precipice of a forest in the middle of the day. All he could see was green and brown everywhere, with a scorching sun in the sky.

The air was humid and felt as real as his first time in a rain forest, with beads of sweat dripping down his body.

All the dreams he had been in so far had been a mix of him being involved and also being an observer. Even his age varied often, returning to his childhood state or his adult state.

"Do I fight something this time?" Lin Mu clenched his fists as a fraction of power flowed through him. 'I cant even use all of my power here.' His cultivation base being at a bare Core Condensation realm right now!

Lin Mu's strength and cultivation base varied from dream to dream too. In some he could face an army of tens of millions of immortals and in others he would be a normal mortal struggling to fight off a street dog!

He didn't have weapons all the time either, so mostly ended up resorting to his body to fight.

Since he couldn't use a lot of his techniques and skills either, what he ended up doing was to refine physical skills that he had known about. He improved on his footwork and raw techniques.

When he had access to swords he would swing them, trying to perfect every move even if he had not a sliver of Qi flowing through him.

When he had a spear, he would thrust and sweep till his hands bled.

With bows, he would shoot as far as he could, sometimes even without looking.

With axes he would try to get the most momentum possible and cut things in one go.

With every different weapon he tried his best to improve, whether he had Qi or not. And as time passed by, every dream became an opportunity to learn for him.

He didn't know whether he would remember anything when he woke up, but he reckoned since he had nothing else to do, he may as well improve in ways he could think.

~ROAR~

The same was the case for this dream, as soon enough the roar of a beast was heard.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu cocked his fist and attacked as soon as he saw the slightest sliver of a the beast's fur.

~CRACK~

he moved like a blur and struck the beast right in the middle of its forehead, making a sickening crunch.

"A bear…" Lin Mu muttered seeing the dead beast that crumpled to the ground like a rag doll.

Continuing through the forest, he faced more beasts, until finally he seemingly reached the 'end'.

"So this is the ending stage?' He knew what it was since he had faced similar ones before as they stood out a lot.

He arrived at an open clearing, with small flowers dotting its grassy scape.

And there, he spotted something rather stunning.

"A person?" Lin Mu saw someone sitting cross legged on a rock in the middle of the clearing.

Their back was towards him and they were dressed in pure white robes, that contrasted greatly against the green grass below. Their gender was hard to make out, since their robes were baggy and covered up their physique. Their head was also covered with a wide had that covered all their hair.

~step~step~step~

Lin Mu moved towards them, wondering what they were doing here.

'Usually they attack me first.' Lin Mu remembered all the times from before.

The dreams would end up with him having to defeat the final foe or simply die against them and return to deep sleep.

But not even five steps later, Lin Mu heard a voice.

"What are you doing here child?" a woman's voice was heard.

The voice made Lin Mu stop in his tracks, finding it to be rather soothing and yet shocking.

"Who are you?" He questioned feeling an uncanny sense of familiarity.

This prompted the person to turn, allowing Lin Mu to see their serene and graceful face.

The woman's crystal clear eyes that seemed to contain unfathomable mysteries within them, peered through though him.

Her brows rose slightly in surprise before settling down.

"This is not your time child." The woman spoke.

"What?" Lin Mu was certainly confused.

"This is not the right time to know either." The woman said as she stood up.

She walked towards Lin Mu gracefully while the man stood, unable to move.

"Return to your time, child." The woman said, placing a hand on Lin Mu's cheek lightly.
